Hannahs POVI'm called to the dining room by Mrs Flemington. I wonder if his guest has arrived. He had ordered me not to disclose my status to her, I was somewhat annoyed and hurt at his order. This was the second time he had mentioned this, the first time was when I had revealed the details of our marriage to the receptionist and his PA. Before this I wasnt aware that he had concealed the details, I knew he hadn't formally introduced me as his wife but I didn't think much of it. Now, its clear that he doesn't want the world to know about me as his wife. I gather the courage and decide to show up at the dining table before I alarm the beast to force me to the dining room, this I dont want certainly not to be witnessed by his guest. As I make my way towards the dining room. I can hear a ladies voice making small talk however I can't hear the other party at all. As I turn the corner and enter the dining room I see Sebastain sat at the head of the table and the back of a female, she is
Hannah POVSitting in the moving vehicle, I wonder how destiny played out. I have been taught to appreciate whatever situation I'm in, as I could be in a much worse situation. Therefore, what ever hardship I suffered before marriage, I challenged it and always looked at the betterment of the situation. Now, after marriage I would say I'm in no better situation if not worse however, I refuse to to be defeated and feel dejected at what others put me through. I promised myself that I will not allow Sebastian to acheive whatever goal he has in place concerning me. He has made it clear that he married me for a reason, to ruin me but who is he to decide my ruin. This morning he had me up at 5am, ordering me to get ready for work, I would have appreciated at least a days notice. I suppose the whole facade about me working for him infront of Haley was enough notice, I should hold have been prepared. As I sit facing Haley, who had been busy the whole journey scrutinizing my appearance, I cant
Sebatian POV.I have never found Haley to be anything but pleasant, but her attitude has changed recently. I knew she was envious of Hannah despite introducing her as my helpers neice she felt threatened by her presence. Hannah was a woman who didn't need to announce her family background or her wealth, she exuded elegance, femininity and power. Whereas Haley had insulted my helper to make Hannah feel low, advertently enhancing her status. I had asked Hannah to apologise to her as I genuinely cared for Haley and I did not like Hannah talking to her in a disrespectful manner. I didn't care how elegant or sophisticated she was, she belonged to the kind I despised and would never allow her to feel like she was our equal. However, Mrs Flemington was more than a helper, and I was clear about my displeasure in the way Haley had addressed her after Hannah exited. Of course Haley thought it was because of Hannah I had reprimanded her, I did not bother to explain myself to her. Again, this mor
Sebastian POV I drag her into the basement of a small abandoned warehouse, surprisingly she has stopped rebelling and is looking around like a frightened child. Its dark, damp and dirty, I know she is going to struggle to hold the fort for the night, which is exactly why I have brought her here. I'm not going to physically punish her, she wanted some time off, she called it retail therapy. Well I'm going to offer her a therapy she will learn from for life. As I drag her to the middle of the basement I can sense the fright, she is trembling and shaking. Suddenly she wounds her arm into mine and with both arms she is holding on to my bicep with all her strength. She is more than frightened now, as come to realise that I'm about to leave her here on her own. As I'm about to unattached myself from her she whispers, "Please, Please Sebastian, dont leave me here. I won't leave the company again. I'm sorry I will try my best not to retaliate". I found it amusing how even in panic she coul
Hannah POVI was glad Sebastian had not ordered me to work for the last 2 days. I dont think I could cope with the beast and his side kick. I was exhausted from the torment Haley put me through at work during the day and then the torment Sebastian put me through by locking me in the basement of the warehouse at night. That was probably one of the worse 24 hours of my life. Today I felt revived after I had almost 24 hours of sleep as I had spent all day yesterday and last night in bed. I had decided to clean my bedroom and the closet room, I had nothing else to do. At lunch time I decided to help Mrs Flemington in the kicthen prepare lunch. Mrs Flemington was talking to Zoe the other helper who comes in twice to clean the penthouse. She was a lovely girl, 3 years my senior. She was also tall, maybe the same height as Mrs Flemington around 5ft 8/9 inches tall, she was very slim almost like a model with strawberry blonde hair. She was half Russian with beautiful grey eyes. I had interac
Sebastian POVI'm welcomed home to an upset Haley, who has tears streaming down her eyes. I choose not to ask her anything and silently allow her to tell me herself."She told me". is all she said. I was able to understand vaguely what she meant, but I wanted her to expand on what she said so I remained silent. " You and her, she is more than just Mrs Flemingtons neice to you, isn't she". I paused before I took a predatory step towards her, "I would like to point out to you that you have no right to question me. IT DOES NOT CONCERN YOU!" I raised my voice just a notch to exhibit my irritation. I was irritated that she felt she had the right to know about my personal affairs. Haley flinched at my tone, she has never witnessed my irritation so it had shocked her. Also I could see the hurt in her eyes, it was clear that my words had hurt her. No matter how irritated I was I cared about Haley and seeing her like this caused my rage at Hannah toincrease. I had made it crystal clear tha
Sebastian POVI was going to show her exactly what status Haley held in my life and she was already aware of her own status, I had made that very clear. I was only planning to go the office for the morninng as I had an important meeting which I wanted to attend in person. I was taking the rest of the afternoon off as my parents had arrived from the UK to celebrate my birthday. My mother had arranged a formal event this evening inviting only family and friends at the Agreste Mansion. Initially I had planned to leave Hannah at the penthouse but after the drama she created yesterday, I plan to take her with me as well as Haley. I knew that the reason Hannah was spreading information about our relationship was because she felt threatened with Haleys presence. I could sense the insecurity from her therefore, I was planning to add fuel to the fire and display my affection for Haley before her at the event. " Be ready at lunch time". is all I said before I left the dining room. As soon as
Hannah POVI understood that there was some sort of an event taking place downstairs. Sebastian had returned a couple of hours ago, he had spent a good hour in the bathroom, before he walked out with a towel hung dangerously low around his waist. I have to admit Sebastian had a great body, which was well maintained and groomed. He disappeared into the closet room before he returned with a tailor made black tuxedo, Sebastian looked amazing in most outfits. As I admired him secretly, there was a knock on the door which he walked towards and opened it, He was covering the person from my view with his huge frame. It was Haley, I recognized her voice, they were attending the event as a pair. I was hurt, I couldnt hide it as I sat there and thought about my current situation. Sebastian had dragged me to his family home only to humiliate me by attending a family event with another woman whilst he locked me in his bedroom. Now I'm sat here wondering what sort of an event is it that I am not
