~Helen's POV~

Is Sebastian in love with me?

He didn’t have to speak—the storm in his eyes told me everything. The kind of rage that comes from deep within. The kind a man can only feel when he’s hurt by someone he cares too much about.

And I felt it.

The tension in the hallway was thick, crackling like a live wire. My heart pounded, not from fear—but from something far more dangerous. Desire. Hope. Maybe even love. He stood there, still and silent, yet I could feel his fury pulsing like a heartbeat. Not the cold indifference I was used to, but something more primal. Possessive. Emotional.

His gaze scorched me—fiery, piercing, wounded. I’d only greeted him, trying to ease the awkwardness of what he’d witnessed earlier. I didn’t expect a smile, but I hadn’t expected to be invisible either. He brushed past me like I was nothing, again. Cold. Distant. Dismissive.

One moment, he acts like he cares—the next, he walks out like I never existed. And yet… instead of being angry, I found myself

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Dinner

    ~ Sebastian's POV ~“It’s good to finally have dinner with y’all again,” Mr. Moreau said cheerfully, his voice carrying the warmth of someone who had been waiting for this reunion far too long.“Yes, yes. The last time we had dinner together was almost ten years ago,” my mom replied, her words laced with grace, as though she had rehearsed them for this very evening.I sat quietly, my fork resting on the edge of my plate, eyes lowered. I had barely said a word since we arrived. My body was here at this long dining table, but my mind—my mind was elsewhere, longing to see Helen. Every second felt like an eternity without her.The silverware clinked gently as I picked at the broccoli on my plate with what I hoped looked like prestige, though truthfully, I had no appetite.“Sebastian, how are you doing, dear? You’re so grown now,” Mrs. Moreau asked suddenly, her voice breaking through my fog of thoughts.I lifted my eyes to her, forcing a polite smile. Is she just seeing me now? Of course

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Will be come?

    ~ Helen’s POV ~Why isn’t he here yet?The clock on the wall ticks a little too loudly, each second stretching longer than it should. My gaze keeps drifting toward the door as if staring at it long enough will make him walk through. It’s already 7 p.m., and it’s not like him to be late.Now that I want to see him even more, he just happens to not be here. My chest tightens at the thought.Maybe work held him back. He has a lot to deal with, after all. Or maybe he’s just too exhausted to make it here tonight. Still… couldn’t he at least come for thirty minutes? Even ten?I know I saw him yesterday, but somehow it feels like I haven’t seen him in weeks. My heart aches with a strange impatience, and I hate how much I’m counting the hours.“You haven’t touched your food. Is something wrong?”Nurse Rava’s voice snaps me out of my thoughts. She leans down slightly, her brows drawn in concern, the faint scent of antiseptic following her.“No, nothing’s wrong,” I lie automatically, forcing a

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Tonight

    ~ Sebastian’s POV ~Shit.Going to the hospital now will only raise Mom’s suspicions. She’ll start asking questions….questions I can’t afford to answer.I glance at the time again. 5:15 p.m. Already too late to make a detour without delaying the rest of the evening. If I ask the driver to divert now, I’ll not only push us behind schedule, but I’ll also have to come up with some excuse for why.I let out a long, controlled breath and sink deeper into the leather seat. The supple material molds against my back, but the comfort does nothing to ease the tension pressing against my ribs.Tomorrow. I’ll see her tomorrow.At least, that’s what I tell myself. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have better control over my day…..less chaos, fewer interruptions.But my heart isn’t buying it. It feels heavier than it should, weighed down by the sharp ache of wanting something I already own…..not tonight, at least.The board meeting took way longer than I expected. From how much this meeting held, it shows tomor

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Can this end already?

    ~ Sebastian's POV ~Goodness, this meeting seems to have no end.“If that’s a way out, then probably we’d be in more of a disaster,” Mr. George said, his deep voice dragging the air in the room down with him.My eyes are already exhausted, heavy from staring at the endless files and faces for hours. They crave to see her, but it seems their craving has been shoved to the farthest corner of my day, buried under paperwork and endless opinions.“Mr. Sebastian, this would be a good time for you to draw a conclusion and term tomorrow’s meeting,” one of the board members said, leaning forward like my agreement was the only lifeline keeping him alive.I’ve been quiet all through the meeting, letting them air every concern and conclusion, all directed at me like I’m the only one capable of fixing the entire company’s future in a single evening.But enough is enough. This needs to end now, or I’ll end up losing the only part of my evening that matters.I glance at my wristwatch. 5 p.m. already

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    I miss him

    ~ Helen’s POV ~“Were you expecting someone?” Ashley’s voice echoed softly across the room as she stepped in, her brows slightly raised in curiosity.Yes.Yes, I am.I’m expecting Sebastian.I know it’s not even close to the end of the day yet, but my heart aches to see him. It’s ridiculous how much I miss him already. His presence has this way of filling the air—warm, steady, and unshakable. Without him, the room feels heavier, the silence louder.“No, no,” I lied without hesitation, my voice sounding far too casual.Another tiny notch added to my silent chart of half-truths and unspoken feelings.I hate that I have to lie about things I shouldn’t need to hide. We love each other—so why is there this unspoken rule to keep it in the shadows? What’s so wrong about wanting to see the person who makes my heart feel alive?I can’t even confide in Ashley, she's my only family…..my own sister, but I can't speak of it to her….not really. Not because I don’t trust her, but because I don’t wan

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Trying

    ~ Sebastian's POV ~All other meetings for the day, aside from the board meeting, had finally concluded.It felt like I’d been running on autopilot since morning…… one handshake after another, decisions piling on top of each other, and yet, the clock seemed determined to sprint ahead of me. Time, today, wasn’t just moving fast… it was on maximum speed.I barely had a moment to breathe before Mike’s voice cut through my thoughts.“Sir, the board meeting starts in 10 minutes. Should I order lunch for you? You haven’t had anything.”Lunch. Right.Oh.The single cup of coffee I’d gulped earlier in the day had somehow been my fuel all through. No breakfast, no snack, nothing substantial. My stomach gave a faint protest, but I ignored it.“No, no,” I said, waving the idea off. “Once the board meeting’s done, I’ll head home.”Mike’s eyebrows twitched in subtle disapproval…. he knew I had a bad habit of skipping meals when work is paramount….. but he didn’t press the issue.I adjusted my cuff
