Heat flushed through me as my gaze traced every inch of his hot, wet, naked torso.How could a human being look so perfect?And was it bad that I wished he wasn't wearing the towel so I could see what he packed down there?My entire face turned red as I realised I had been staring at him like a pervert and also thinking like one for some seconds, and I quickly turned my back on him."I-I'm sorry for staring and coming in without knocking. It's just that the door was open, so I thought there was no need to knock. That's why I came inside without permission. Sorry." I squeaked as I buried my face in my hands."I don't mind, especially since it got that lustful reaction out of you." Sebastian chuckled."Don't say that. I didn't mean to." I blushed harder, and I almost jumped as he hugged me from behind."Honestly, I don't know how long I can hold back if you keep acting this cute." Sebastian whispered as he kissed the crook of my neck, and I gasped."Hold back what?" I whispered, even th
I drove all the way to Sebastian's company as I tried to not stop and cry in the middle of the road.I parked in the underground parking lot, pulled out my phone, and called Sebastian."Are you ok? Have you dropped Tiffany at Bruno's?" He replied as he picked up almost instantly."Yes. I couldn't go home, so... so... I'm at your company's parking lot. I know I should have told you before coming because you're probably busy, but I couldn't go home. I don't want to be alone." I whispered."I'll be with you in the next five minutes." He said."You don't have to. I... I shouldn't have come here because you're obviously busy. I'm going home. Don't worry—""Don't you dare go anywhere. There's no way I'm letting you leave when you're obviously shaken. I'm already in the elevator; give me four minutes." He said firmly."Thank you." I whispered and ended the call.I rested my head on the steering wheel, squeezing my eyes shut as I tried not to think about the situation.A few minutes
After weeks of a gruelling battle for custody, my worst nightmare finally happened. The court granted Bruno partial custody of Tiffany, allowing him to have her every weekend and during some holidays.My lawyers fought to grant me full custody and limit his visits to only a few days with supervision but we still lost. We didn't have any strong reason to justify why we wanted that. Despite Sebastian's best effort, none of the incriminating accusations against Bruno were substantial.As we left the court, I put on a brave, steady face, clenching Sebastian's arm while he carried an overwhelmed Tiffany, as I ignored Bruno's cruel, victorious smirk and the paparazzi in my face trying to get a scoop from me.But the moment we were alone, I cried. Sebastian just held me while I sobbed for almost two hours. It wasn't fair that I had to share my child with that good-for-nothing man. I didn't care about the stupid child support he now had to pay. I simply wanted him out of my life, but unf
I pushed Sebastian off me as the door swung open, and I saw Tiffany standing, rubbing her eyes."Tiffany. You're awake." I squeaked as my cheeks flushed bright red, and I quickly pulled my dress over my thighs.How could I be so careless as to forget to lock the door? Not that I expected things to escalate, but I should have locked it when it began to go further."Are you hungry?" I asked as she climbed on my lap."Hmm. And hungry. Can I have some cookie, please?" She yawned and stared at Sebastian. "Are you tucking in my mummy to bed, Sebastian?""Y-yes... n-no." I stuttered as my face got hotter."Yes, your mummy was feeling a little bit tired, so I was helping her go to bed." Sebastian lied with a beautiful smile on his face."Oh, are you ok, Mummy? Should I tuck you into bed too?" She asked as she rested her head on my chest."Don't worry. I'm not really sleepy, and I'm hungry too. Why don't you help me make dinner instead of eating cookies? It's pasta." I said, and she pe
"What?" I gasped as my eyes widened."In my lowest time, you were there. You were in your lowest too, but you selflessly reached out to me. You saved me, Aurora, without knowing. You saved me and my family. Without you, I would have died, and I would have hurt my family. Even if my dad got better and my mom and Bianca managed to save the company from bankruptcy, it wouldn't have been the same as now. There would have been a gaping hole because of my absence. But, because of your kindness to a stranger at the darkest moment of your life, you saved us. And the Warners' family are indebted to you." Sebastian said softly as tears brimmed in his eyes."You don't have to be indebted to me. Honestly, I didn't do anything big. Anybody would have done what I did if they were in my shoes." I replied, flustered at his words."I don't believe that, Aurora. You had your own problems; no one would have faulted you if you looked away from me, but you didn't. You came to me like an angel of light.
My phone's annoying constant vibration woke me from my sleep, and I groaned. I picked it up as I sat up, and I frowned at the many notifications from my social media.I opened one of them, and I gasped at the multiple hate messages sent to my dm.What's going on?My hands trembled as I checked each message, each notification, and they all had the same thing in common. They were calling me a sl*t, a whore, a bitch. Many of them said I didn't deserve Sebastian and we should break up.Bruno had sent me a message, asking me if I like his present.Tears streamed down my face as I finally saw the cause of all the hate towards me. It was a video, and though it was not too clear, I could see the two people in it clearly. It was I and Bruno at the restaurant, kissing.The video was taken at an angle that hid the fact that he was forcing me, and it only showed the few seconds when our lips touched.It was all a setup.He already planned to cause the scandal when he invited me to the restaurant.
