Sebastian walked further into the room with an angry look plastered all over his face, his tall, lean frame displaying confidence and arrogance. His chiseled features were set in a disgusted expression, his deep, penetrating gaze seemingly appraising the situation with contempt.
"Why are you bordering yourself, Mother? You can't force a lady like her into accepting something," Sebastian said, his tone dripping with hatred as he cast an angry look in Lilian's direction.Lilian felt a sinking sensation in the pit of her stomach as Sebastian's gaze settled on her, his arrogant behavior sending a shiver of unease down her spine.With a casual flick of his hand buried in the pockets of his pants, Sebastian continued, "This isn't something you should be begging her to do, we're doing her family a favor by accepting her. If she doesn't want to agree let her be."Lilian's heart sank as Sebastian's words washed over her, she concealed the tear that filled her eyes. She didn't want him to see her or consider her weak."Sebastian, her father already pleaded with us so we can't—" Mrs. Rojas began, but Sebastian cut his mother off with a dismissive wave of his hand."No, Mother, you need to listen to reason. The Alfred family isn't a crucial business partner, I don't want to marry a woman who's feigning not to accept this offer." Sebastian insisted, his voice dripping with arrogance.Lilian felt a surge of frustration well up inside her at Sebastian's words, the thought of her late sister came across her mind and the tears in her eyes fell down her cheek."Sebastian, I won't let you—" Lilian started, her voice trembling with anger and frustration, but Sebastian interrupted her with a pitiful laugh."I don't think your decision matters in this situation and quite the pretense," Sebastian said, his tone laced with contempt.Lilian felt a surge of helplessness wash over her as Sebastian's words echoed in her mind. It seemed as though she was fighting a losing battle, her desires and wishes falling on deaf ears in her face."Sebastian, you can't just dismiss Lilian's feelings like that. She deserves to have a say in her future," Mrs. Rojas protested, her voice filled with frustration at her son's behavior.Sebastian's expression hardened at his mother's words, his gaze narrowing in a silent warning."Mother, I'm not going to stand here and debate this with you. The wedding will proceed as planned, she doesn't have a choice and I only agreed to this because of her father's words," Sebastian declared, his tone final as he turned to leave the room, leaving Lilian and Mrs. Rojas staring after him in stunned silence.As the door closed behind him, Lilian felt a sense of sadness settles over her. It seemed as though she was truly alone in this fight, her family's ambitions and desires crushing her dreams and aspirations beneath their relentless march toward success.And as she sank into despair, a single thought echoed in her mind, a whisper of defiance amidst the suffocating weight of her circumstances: she would not go down without a fight.Mrs Rojas waited for a while before she looked up at Lilian. "Let's go check on your sister's wedding dress."Lilian took a deep breath and exhaled it, she had no other choice but to agree to whatever was about to happen.The wedding preparation and ceremony went on in a blink of an eye and the next thing was what was supposed to be her honeymoon, Lilian walked down the hallway and made her way to the room where she dreaded so much.Lilian's heart raced as she approached the door to the room where Sebastian awaited her. Dread gnawed at her insides, twisting her stomach into knots as she hesitated before finally mustering the courage to push open the door.As she stepped into the dimly lit room, her eyes fell upon Sebastian sitting on the edge of the bed, his expression dark and brooding. She felt a chill run down her spine at the sight of him, his presence looming over her like a specter of doom."What are you doing here?" Sebastian's voice was low, sending a shiver of fear through her veins.Lilian swallowed hard, her mouth suddenly dry as she took a hesitant step forward, her eyes never leaving Sebastian's imposing figure.Lilian wrapped her hands over her chest as she stood on the spot. stammered her voice barely above a whisper.Sebastian stood up abruptly and made his way to meet her. He advanced towards her, his eyes blazing with fury."I'll ask the question again. What are you doing in my room, Lilian?" Sebastian's voice was laced with venom, his anger filled the air between them.Lilian took a step back, her heart pounding in her chest as Sebastian cornered her against the nearest wall, his presence looming over her like a dark shadow."You think you can just walk in here and pretend like nothing happened?" Sebastian's voice was a low growl, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. "You selfish liar, I know this was all your plan. You killed your sister because you want to marry into the Rojas Alvaro family."Lilian felt a cold sweat break out on her brow as she struggled to comprehend Sebastian's words. What was he talking about? How can he think of such a thing?"I... I would never do such a thing to my sister, I only agreed to this marriage because of the business deal." Lilian's voice trembled with fear and confusion, as tears rolled down her cheek. She couldn't believe Sebastian was accusing her of killing her sister.Sebastian's lips curled into a sneer of disgust, his gaze boring into hers with a despise and hatred that made her blood run cold."Don't play dumb with me, Lilian. You know damn well what I'm talking about. It's because of you that your sister is dead," Sebastian spat, his words like daggers aimed straight at her heart.Lilian felt as though the ground had been ripped out from beneath her feet, her knees growing weak with the weight of Sebastian's accusation. She struggled to find her voice, to deny the damning accusation that hung in the air. "How could you say such a thing?" She felt the urge to slap him and run away, but she couldn't."No, Sebastian, you're wrong. I had nothing to do with my sister's death," Lilian protested, her voice shaking with emotion.But Sebastian groaned and pushed her hard against the wall, his anger unyielding as he advanced towards her, his eyes filled with anger.Lilian felt as though the walls were closing in around her, the weight of Sebastian's accusation crushing her beneath its suffocating embrace. She struggled to find the words to defend herself, to make him see reason, but Sebastian wasn't ready to listen to whatever she had to say."You destroyed my family, Lilian. You took everything from me, and now you're going to pay for what you've done," Sebastian vowed, his voice dripping with malice as he reached out to grab her by the throat, his fingers digging into her flesh with bruising force.Lilian gasped for breath, her vision swimming as she struggled against Sebastian's strong grip. She felt as though she were drowning in a sea of despair, her world collapsing around her as Sebastian's accusations echoed in her ears like a death wish.He pushed her away and she fell to the ground, crying bitterly as he walked away to sit on the bed Lilian knew at that moment that her marriage to Sebastian was going to be her greatest Regret.Tears streamed down Lilian's cheeks as Sebastian's words pierced her fragile heart like broken shards of glass. The weight of his accusations, coupled with the so much anger in his voice, crushed her spirit, leaving her feeling utterly defenseless and alone."Please, you have to believe me. I would never do anything to hurt my sister," Lilian pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper as she struggled to choke back her sobs.But Sebastian's gaze remained cold and unyielding, his eyes burning with a mixture of anger and grief as he stared at her from across the room."Your sister was all I had," Sebastian's voice cracked with emotion, his words heavy with sorrow. "She was my future, but you took her away from me."Lilian's heart ached at the pain in Sebastian's voice, the depth of his grief cutting her to the core. She longed to reach out to him, to offer him comfort and solace in his time of need, but she knew that her words would fall on deaf ears, her attempts to help him release from
Days turned into weeks, and Lilian found herself trapped in a never-ending cycle of torment at Sebastian's hands. Despite her efforts to appease him, to prove her worthiness as a wife and a member of his family, he continued to treat her with contempt, using her as little more than a servant to tend to his every whim.Each morning, Lilian would rise before dawn, her body weary and her spirit broken, to begin her daily routine of house chores. She scrubbed floors until her hands were raw, cooked meals until her back ached, and tended to every need of Sebastian and his daughter with a sense of resignation.But no matter how hard she worked, no matter how much she tried to earn his approval, Sebastian remained unmoved, his heart hardened against her like stone. He continued to refuse her even the most basic comforts, denying her the right to sleep in his bed and instructing her to sleep on the cold, hard floor each night.Lilian endured his cruel behavior to her without complaint, her lov
Lilian's heart was beating fast as she couldn't tell what was happening. She couldn't believe what was going on between Sebastian and her but she couldn't stop her heart from falling for him. His eyes peered into hers with pleasure as his body hardened against hers, his breathing becoming rough as she caressed his neck. It took everything in Lillian not to moan when his hand slipped lower over the swell of her breast, grazing the top of her nipple until it hardened to a point.Lilian's hand slid beneath the hem of his shirt to brush against his skin as his hands moved to the sides of her face and pulled her closer until their noses were touching. Their lips brushed lightly again, and Lillian's heartbeat thumped loudly against her ribcage. Her heart beat so quickly, so painfully, that she thought she might pass out any second but Sebastian was kissing her, slowly yet passionately. He was still holding her waist tightly in his hands, pulling her flush to him.A feeling of guilt washed
Lilian was startled by the sound of the doorbell echoing through the empty halls as left what she was teaching Shirley and hurried to answer it, her heart pounding in her chest as she wondered who it might be.To her surprise, she found her father standing on the doorstep, his face filled with concern as he took in her appearance."Lilian, my dear, are you alright?" her father asked, his voice filled with worry as he reached out to embrace her.Lilian forced a smile, though she knew her father could see through the pretense."I'm fine, Father. Please, come in," she replied, stepping aside to allow him to enter into the grand display of the mansion.As they made their way to the sitting room, Lilian's father cast another look around the elegant surroundings, his brow furrowing in awe at the sight of the lavish furnishings and extravagant decorations."I must say, Lilian, this is quite the place you've found yourself in," he remarked, his tone filled with gladness as he took a seat on o
The evening drew near, and Lilian walked into the room and gathered her pillow settling it at the spot on the floor where she usually slept. Sebastian walked in and saw her, he stood thinking of what to do to Lillian. "Lilian, wait," he said, his tone commanding as he reached out to gently grasp her arm.Lilian turned to face him, her heart thumping in her chest in fear of what might happen next, her first instinct was that he was going send her out of the room or abuse her. She gasped frightened by his touch as her brow furrowed in confusion at the unexpected interruption."Did I do something wrong, Sebastian?" she stammered, her voice filled with uncertainty.Sebastian's gaze bore into hers, his expression was unreadable as he spoke. "I think it's time we put an end to this nonsense," he said, his voice low and calm.Lilian's heart skipped a beat at his words, a sense of confusion settling over her like a dark cloud. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice was calm.Sebastian took
As Sebastian returned to the bedroom after tucking Shirley into bed, his gaze fell upon Lilian sleeping peacefully on the floor. A pang of remorse washed over him as he remembered their wedding night, when he had asked her to sleep on the floor. He wanted to walk by but a part of him didn't want to as he fight the urge not to listen to the thought that ran through his mind."Lilian," Sebastian called out softly, his voice laced with regret as he approached her. "I don't want you to sleep on the floor, anymore. Come, join me on the bed."Lilian stirred at the sound of his voice, her eyes fluttering open in surprise. She sat up slowly, her heart pounding in her chest as she thought about Sebastian's unexpected offer. "I... I appreciate your concern for me, but I'm fine here," she replied hesitantly, her voice filled with uncertainty.But Sebastian didn't listened to her. A part of him couldn't bear the thought of Lilian sleeping on the floor another night."Lilian, please," Sebastian p
"It's been months and still no relevant report regarding Katherine death." Lilian overheard Sebastian complaining to a man on grey suit as she walked down the hallway to the grand kitchen. She stopped and walked further to get a closer view of what was happening. "Are you telling me she just died and no one is responsible for it?" Sebastian continued.As Lilian stood in the hallway, her heart pounding in her chest, she strained to catch every word of the conversation between Sebastian and the man in the grey suit. Her hands trembled with anticipation as she listened, desperate to know if the man on suit knew anything about the culprit behind her sister untimely death."I deserve an answer to this, I need the truth," Sebastian's voice echoed down the hallway, filled with frustration and anger. "You can't tell me she just died and no one is responsible for it?"Lilian's breath caught in her throat as she thought about Sebastian point, he was right. There was something definitely wrong
Lilian walked back to the room feeling restless, as tears rolled down her cheek she tried to compose herself, but Mrs. Rojas's harsh words echoed in her mind like a relentless drumbeat. She felt like a pawn in a game she didn't understand, used to secure business interests at the expense of her sister's memory. Lilian's heart ached with a mixture of anger, sadness, and confusion.Lost in her thoughts, Lilian didn't notice when Sebastian entered the room until he spoke, his voice laced with concern. "Lilian, are you crying?" he asked softly, his gaze searching her face.Startled, Lilian quickly wiped her tears away and forced a small smile. "No, I'm fine," she replied, her voice unsteady.Sebastian's brows furrowed in disbelief. "Lilian, I can see you're upset. Please tell me what's wrong," he urged gently, taking a step closer.Lilian hesitated, unsure if she could confide in Sebastian. But the weight of her emotions was too heavy to bear alone. She took a deep breath, her voice tremb
