CHAPTER 51

Sebastian

I decided to pay a quick visit to Murray's Publishing right after I left the Cafe I met with Miss. Evans and an anonymous message dropped on my phone.

"You're bold for showing yourself in front of me after the ruckus you've roused."

Murray said, his lips curled in a nasty sneer. He met me in the middle of his office.

"That's my line, old man. And, only the guilty cower away from confrontations Murray."

"Walking into the lion's den like this could cost you your life, you know," he smirked.

I sat cross-legged on the settee opposite him, my eyes locked onto his.

His bulky frame occupied the couch, and the air in his office carried the smoke of his cigar.

"Don't be so confident Murray, life's full of surprises."

His expression faltered at my words for a moment then quickly regained his composure.

"How dare you gloat after the damage you've caused me?"

I leaned forward in my chair, "you brought this damage upon yourself Murray when you decided to put your eggs i

  • Something In Between Love    Bonus Chapter 4: Dreams Come True

    EMILY I've lived 38 years, have witnessed and achieved good success numerous times, yet nothing has ever topped the joy of seeing my children chase their dreams. My heart throbs with pride and joy overflows from my eyes. It's such a blessing that they have found what lights them up-and are sharing it with the world. Our resilient, creative Doreen, a blossoming painter, turning every wall into vibrant works of art, our enthusiastic Gabriel excels in sports, always sprinting and scoring goals, while our little scholar George's always reading and asking brilliant questions, and finally our cheerful Mia, the queen of hearts of the family, always aspiring to become as many awesome profession as she can-when they eventually come to mind, that is. We're so proud of all our kids. They always makes every moment priceless. As we stepped inside the library, it had been transformed into a vibrant, multi-purpose event space. I almost thought we lost our way. The moveable shelves were re

  • Something In Between Love    Bonus Chapter: Blue Shaded Wrinkles

    EMILY "Darling I think we should call a plumber," I said to my husband, who was currently on his knees trying but failing to unclog the toilet. He's been at it for thirty minutes now, but won't give up. "What? So he can come and see how big my dump is?" he mumbled. "No, because he's a person who's knowledgeable on this than you are. It's kind of his job," I teased, poking at his competitive side. "I know who a plumber is, " he gritted out in annoyance. I chuckled, leaned down and kissed his cheek. "You're so adorable. Come on big guy," I helped him up by the arm, "you've done the best that you can do, now let's go get ready before the kids get here." They tagged along with Doreen to the foundation. "I'm not adorable, I'm a man." he grumbled as I led him away. "Whatever, you're adorable to me, so deal with it." I moved towards the closet but he grabbed me back to his body and nuzzled my neck, his graying hair fell over his smoky grey eyes, tickling my neck. "No

  • Something In Between Love    Deleted Scene: Sweet Sinful Secret

    EMILY I limped--walked towards the train station with a broken stiletto. A little spark of happiness lit up within me when I spotted an empty bench. After a long walk, I needed to sit. And I missed my train. The station was scanty with only travelers for 3am walking to and fro. I spotted a woman afar, eating a sandwich and my mouth watered. That's the first thing I'll do when I get home. I'll soak my sour feet in warm water, eat lots of ice-cream and turn in early. I was stranded, alone, cold hungry with a dead phone and no money to book a room in a motel. If I knew it was this cold at the side of town I wouldn't have come straight from the office for an assignment in only a black pencil skirt, a white blouse and stiletto with no armor. Assignments like this were a specialty crafted for the rejected in Sunshine by Sebastian himself. I mean, I've accepted that he disliked me but how could he not send a car after me? After all, the deal went well and I was well o

  • Something In Between Love    Bonus Chapter: Is Love Blind?

    THEODORE There were series of events that occurred in my lifetime that I could never forget or erase. I never believed in cliches like 'Love is Blind' or 'No one prepares you for falling in love' because I was an extremely intentional person, never impulsive, critically choosing my words before I speak. However, I grew up in a home where promises were never kept, people didn't matter and love was never a factor. I think that egged me to be intentional about my decisions. My father was extremely aggressive but he never laid a finger on my mother or me--but of course he didn't have to, his abusive words made up for it. And my mother was never affectionate because she never received affection. There I was, a ten year old constantly walking on eggshells with my family as though I lived with strangers. I had to work to be worth it, I believed that the entirety of human is to work hard so you'd be relevant so that you won't be tossed away. My Father's start up publishing compa

  • Something In Between Love    Bonus Chapter: Emily And Robert

    EMILY I winced as I examined my swollen ankle, it had already turned into a nasty dark color. I poked at it then winced again. I'll have to soak my feet in warm water again tonight. "I'll have to consider handing over the company to Sebastian, evidently you're more suitable for the job," Robert Crest said with a small smile as he approached me. I quickly stood up from my seated position. The wrinkles at the side of his eyes were the only feature Sebastian didn't inherit, an evidence he laughed a lot. I was at the Crest backyard, where we've decided the new book launch venue will be after the rain had ruined our venue last night. I had been on my feet all day with Sebastian's hard stare on the back of my head. Like a hawk keeping watch on it's prey, he didn't move an inch. No one could move an inch since dawn till dusk. Now I was the last woman standing after Sebastian fled out of the house as though he had fire on his heels when he got a call from the office. I was left

  • Something In Between Love    Epilogue

    EPILOGUE Doreen's eyebrows furrowed in deep concentration, her lip jutted out as she patted the sand on the flower seed she had just buried. Sebastian and his four-year-old daughter were on their knees planting flowers beside his father's grave. "Daddy, do you think it will grow and make Grandpa happy?" She turned to her father. "Everything grows when you give it a little love and care, I also know that Grandpa would love it more because you did it for him.” "You think so?" she asked with a smile. She looked up at him with her big brown eyes that were a replica of his, though she was a replica of Emily in every way, her button nose, and plump lip. But she had Sebastian's relentless trait. "Yes sweetheart," he replied with a smile. "Now let's bury it and remember to–" "Water it and give it more sunlight!" she leaped from her kneeling position. He chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Smart girl!' "Come in, you two; Aunt Sophia and Uncle Theo are here!" Emily yell
