"S-sebastian?" I choked, gawking at him and clenching his jacket. What was he doing?!

"Play along," Sebastian whispered in my ear and gave me a soft kiss on my cheek. My face took on a soft shade of pink, and I pressed my lips together.

"Girlfriend?" Ajax gaped, his jaw hanging open for some few minutes before his lips stretched to a huge grin, and my stomach dropped. I knew that smile anywhere. He was sure he had struck gold.

"That's wonderful," he beamed and stretched out his hand to Sebastian. "I should properly reintroduce myself then; I'm Ajax Jacobs, the elder brother of your lovely girlfriend."

'Oh, so now I'm lovely because I'm dating a member of the Warners family.' I cringed and narrowed my eyes at him. 'Bruno was right; some things never change.'

Sebastian crinkled his nose as he glowered at the hand. Ajax's smile faltered, but he jutted his hand forward, urging Sebastian to take it. The disgust didn't flinch, nor did he attempt to accept the gesture. Ajax balled his fist,

    The pain, the fear, the anxiety, the disgust, and all the multitude of emotions I felt but couldn't dare say poured out as tears. Sebastian held me in his arms without a word, stroking my hair and letting me empty myself. I hated Bruno. I hated my family. I hated all of them for making me pass through all that I passed through. And... I hated myself. If I wasn't stupid, I wouldn't have married the monster in the first place. If I wasn't greedy, I wouldn't have gone to the party and met him. I was the cause of my own problem. And now I was crying like it would change anything. I wasn't sure how long I cried, but I cried. But throughout, Sebastian held me just as close as he held me from the beginning. His hold didn't loosen, nor did his fingers running through my hair slow down. And that made me cry even more. Why was he being so nice to me? I had done nothing to deserve his help, yet he was comforting me like I meant the world to him. My sobs dwindled into gentle sniffles,

    'I should say something,' I thought, pressing my lips together, and I balled my fist on my lap. 'But what should I say? I had ruined his entire night with my nervous breakdown. Should I apologise to him first, or should I thank him for saving me? But what if he asks for an explanation for what happened? It's not what if; it's when. He will ask for an explanation. It's the most logical thing to do. But when he does, can I... can I tell him anything?' I let out a shaky breath and bit my inner cheek. 'With all that has happened, he... he deserves to know. It wouldn't be fair to hide it from him. I'll have to talk, but... but I don't want to...' My eyes remained glued to my lap and I shifted in my spot. Sebastian stared at me from the corner of his eyes, and his body was tensed, as if he was fighting the urge to close the small yet large gap I had made between us. He wanted to hold and comfort me, but he was a gentleman, respecting my space. It was like I was punishing both of u

    'It's him! It's him! It's him!' My mind shrieked, and all the alarms in my head went off like it was the end of the world because it was the end of mine.Bruno was here. Bruno was standing right in front of me, flesh and blood and breathing! In real life!"I doubted what I was seeing was right when I saw you clinging to Sebastian's arm, but it seems like my eyes weren't deceiving me. It is you." Bruno chuckled, his leery gaze ogling at my figure, and bile rose to my throat. "You've changed a lot, but it seems you haven't outgrown kissing the asses of men that are out of your league. How many nights did you have to spend with him to get invited?""I... I... I n-need to g-go," I croaked and tried walking, but his iron grip on my hand held me in place."Don't run away; we have a lot of catching up to do." He sneered, pulling me closer to himself."Babee! You're taking so long," A skinny blonde lady whined as she walked to his side, and her blue eyes narrowed at me. "Who is this?""Agatha

    "So... how do I look?" I asked.A small blush on my cheek shone under my light make-up as I stepped into the living room, donning my pastel blue dress."Woooow! You look really, really, really pretty, Mummy!" Tiffany gasped, jumping from the couch and gawking at me like I had stepped out of one of her cartoons."You look beautiful, Ms. Nigel," Melissa, the babysitter recommended by one of my acquaintances, complimented. "Thank you," I beamed at the both of them and turned to Sebastian. It wasn't like I was waiting for his approval, but I was dying to know what he thought."If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was your engagement party." Sebastian gave me a wolfish grin as his eyes swept over my figure, appreciating all my curves and my stomach fluttered."If you're impressed by this, wait till you see Bianca. You'll be floored." I laughed, brushing the invisible trace of dirt off the skirt of my dress. "You're as breathtaking as your name, Aurora." He whispered as he gra

    "No, I don't remember that." I said, the lie falling off my tongue before I even realised it. "I would have tried to believe you if you hadn't answered almost instantly." Sebastian said, giving me a sour, unimpressed look. "Fine, I remember, but I didn't think you actually meant what you said that night." I pouted and wrapped my arms around myself. "Why would you think that? I explained my reasons to you, didn't I?" He replied, scrunching a brow. "I know, but I... I still kind of thought it was an attempt to get me to the party. I mean, you popped up the question all of a sudden. I-I thought you were pulling my leg." I confessed and decided that the blank TV was more interesting to look at than him. "Why would you want me to be your date anyway? I'm sure there are other prettier and more sophisticated ladies who would take my place and look so much better by your side than me. If you gave any of them the same reason, they'd understand, and you two will have a great time. Bes
