MasukCHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIVE SEBASTIANI lifted my eyes at once, "they met each other?!" I exclaimed, shock in my voice. I had guessed that there was some kind of connection between all of these people, but meeting each other just before Lira's mother died...was this something that Marco also had a hand in? Dante nodded his head as he dropped one photo in front of me, "yes, Marco's son specifically came to Kingston that year, just to meet with this woman. He left as soon as he was done talking to her, and then, she died not long after. There's definitely a connection here," Dante affirmed what I already knew. I picked up the photo that was on the table, and my eyes lit up as I looked at the face of the woman. Her hair was tied in a simple ponytail, and it was obviously a really old photo. The familiar face stared back at me, and I smiled. "Don't you think she looks familiar?" I asked as I returned my gaze back to Dante. He nodded his head almost immediately, "yes, I think that she
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FOUR SEBASTIAN "I.." Lira wanted to explain herself even more, but I was scared that I would not be able to take it. She had lied to me for so long, and she never thought about coming clean with the truth...how could I just let her go after doing this?Even though my heart was hurting to see her like this, I still held on and continued to stare at her with a cold face. Besides, I still had to find the person behind her. The real mastermind...until that person was caught, there was no other option than to let Lira take the blame for this. "Think about what I said carefully" when I started speaking again, I made sure my voice was devoid of any emotions. "As long as you can tell me who exactly is behind you and James, you still have a shot at survival. Otherwise...you can just forget about it!" I barked at her. Turning my head so I wouldn't have to see the look of heartbreak on her face, I headed out of the bedroom. I slammed the door shut as I walked out, hop
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THREELIRAI froze in fear listening to Sebastian's words...he looked scary....the kind of scary that left me shivering in fear. The tears that had dried up a long time ago started rolling down my cheeks again, and I didn't even notice it until I tasted a salty liquid rolling down my cheeks. Sebastian watched me coldly, a sneer on his face. He didn't seem to care about my tears at all! Of course, he wouldn't. He hated me more than anything else now. "I really don't know who is behind this....James was the one who kidnapped me. He told me that I just had to pretend to be Sophia. He spoke of a boss behind him a few times, but he never told me who this boss is...I really have no idea..." I shook my head as I told Sebastian all that I knew. Now that things had come to this, I had no other choice but to tell him the truth. Sebastian didn't have any other reaction on his face and for a few minutes, we just stood in Spence staring at each other. I prayed hard that
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWOLIRAI had no concept of time anymore...I had no idea how many hours or even how many days had passed...I was just sitting on the floor, a blank look in my eyes. My eyes were red and itchy, and I couldn't bring myself to cry anymore since I had been crying since Sebastian found out the truth. I didn't even get a chance to tell him! I wanted to slowly break the news to him, I wanted to let him know that none of this was my doing and that I was forced into it. But now ..I would never get that chance. Now, Sebastian just thought of me as a greedy woman who jumped at the chance to pretend to be his wife. A shameless woman who pretended to be someone else just to get close to me. The pain in my heart was crippling...I never thought that it was possible for someone to feel such pain. My heart was hurting, and I felt as if my chest was going to cave in any second now. How did things even get here? So many times..I wanted to tell Sebastian the truth. If I had d
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONE SEBASTIAN Sophia's shock did not last more than a few seconds before a smile spread across her face. "Ha, that bitch put on such a huge show about being in love with you and not wanting to deceive you...she definitely wouldn't tell you herself. You found out about it all on your own?" She asked, her brows raised in a suggesting manner. My blood boiled steadily inside of me when I heard her call Lira a bitch, who the heck did she think she was speaking about? "Don't you dare talk about her like that" I warned Sophia coldly. She didn't take my words seriously at all, she just rolled her eyes in a dismissive manner. "Oh please, don't tell me that you care about her? She's someone who lied to you and deceived you! She dared to pretend to be me, ha! Who does she think she is?" A look of disgust spread across her face, at at that moment, I felt thankful that I didn't have to walk into a marraige with this woman. Not wanting to waste any more time on her, I f
CHAPTER HUNDRED SEBASTIAN "I don't care what you do, make sure that you don't James as soon as possible! Even if he went to hell, you have to go there and get him back for me!" I barked at one of my trusted guards who was standing in front of me, with his head lowered. My eyes were red with anger as I looked at the report of the things that James had done behind my back. He was never someone I took seriously , after all, he didn't have much use to me. He was just someone that was by my father's side a lot when he was alive. I let him keep his place as one of my men out of pity, anyway, it didn't hurt to pay one more person. However, not only had that bastard betrayed me, he was also the one who kidnapped Lira and forced her to pretend to be Sophia! And now, he had disappeared, obviously hidden by the person who was behind all of this. Whoever it was, it was obvious that they always somehow seemed to know what I was going to do. They had their eyes on me, and I was well aware
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVENLIRA The butler, Gerald, drove me back to Marco's mansion, and throughout the ride, he barely spoke to me. I sat in the back of the car, looking outside as the car moved steadily. We were slowly leaving the city behind us now. Marco's house was located on a private land that
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVESEBASTIAN "Play it again," I ordered the IT guy, whose hands were shaking violently. Dante had his gun pointed to the guy's head, and my eyes followed the people who were coming and going from the restaurant. The CCTV cameras on the route Isabelle and Sophia had taken just hap
CHAPTER FORTY-TWOSEBASTIAN A young maid sashayed over to me and dropped a glass of wine in front of me, she quickly withdrew and stood by the side, making her presence unknown. Facing Marco with a smile on my face, I picked up the glass of wine and sipped on it. I wasn't afraid that he would put
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT LIRAThere was no excitement when this was said, just an awkward silence, as everyone's eyes shifted towards me. Their gazes carried different intentions, and I could read the disappointment on both Paul's and Kiara's gazes. "Boss, lately, Miss Sophia seems to be out of it.
