Chapter 5

Hannah POV

Silent tears trailed out from the corner of her almond eyes and disappeared into her dark tresses. What had her parents got her into, they had freed her from one danger only to be encapsulated in a much greater threat.

She could not believe what her eyes had witnessed 20 minutes earlier. After her first encounter she did not believe that she would ever meet the only man who had instilled such a forbidden emotion in her a year ago.

The man was so cold yet caused others to heat at his mere gaze. Sebastian Agreste, she had heard stories about the business mogul, a genius, who could make the impossible possible in the business world. He was rumored to have read peoples minds and with social skills that far out weighed any others, he was the most successful being on the planet. He had many other attributes that could be added to the list which helped him succeed. At the age of 33 he had acquired more wealth than the top 20 richest people combined had achieved. He was the richest man alive and could use his wealth to feed an entire nation.

Hannah, only came to know who Sebastian Agreste was after she had heard his cousin mention him. She held no interest in inquiring about his cousin until she met him. She went and searched for 'Sebastian Agreste' online, only to be bombarded with articles declaring his success and his aloof lifestyle. Hannah had surprised herself when reflecting on her actions, she was never for one to have been bedazzled by anyone, yet Sebastain Agreste had managed to cave into her mind and settled without invitation.

Hannah also had other matters that bothered her, Garbiel Agreste. He had confessed his feelings for her and she could not offer him an ounce of her love. She had no control over her feelings, she could not love him back no matter how charming or handsome he was. Gabriel was kind and soft hearted, and many times she had been on the receiving end of his kindness. Still, she could only offer him her friendship. On that night after she tried to explain to him that she could only be his friend and no more, resulted in Gabriel asking her to leave. She did not hesitate to call for an UBER, as she knew he needed time and space away from her to heal, which she would give him. However she did not expect him to cease all methods of contact with her which resulted in her arranging her elective placement elsewhere and graduating without sending or receiving any wishes to and from him. Hannah never felt guilty about rejecting Gabriels proposal or many others, as she believed in being open and honest and felt that rejection was a part of life that would help people grow and guide them to the right path. AND she was not created for every man who wished to possess her.

Hannah soon fought her thoughts about Gabriel and Sebastian Agreste and moved on to cpncentrate on gaining her rights to be free from her family feud. Only a few ago her family had suggested marriage as a leeway to her freedom which she reluctantly agreed to. Hannah did not know that destiny was not in her favour and that she would be punished for sins she had not committed.

Hannah considered herself to be a strong woman, yet earlier she had managed to show her weakness in front of the beast who had voluntarily bestowed his wrath on her. She had never cried before any other in her adult years, and today she had disappointed herself. However, she had been rudely disturbed from her sleep causing her to make her way to his study in a semi-conscious state. Yes, this was the reason she had let the forbidden tears gloss over her eyes and escape the confinement. Next time she will be in control and ensure she does not make the same mistake to allow the beast any satisfaction of his actions.

She had done no wrong, she will never admit to an action she had not committed, and would keep challenging the beast.

Sebastian POV

Without knocking I entered the room she was occupying and within milliseconds I had located my target. I was on a mission to inflict my first punishment to the defendant in this case 'My Wife'.

However my breath was taken away at her sight. There she laid facing me with her smooth slender legs snaked around the silk sheets and arms clinging on to the spare pillow like her life depended on it. Her night gown and been bunched up to her waist, her small flat abdomen was on full display. Her skin that was screaming to be caressed, so soft without a single blemish, with a tone that enhanced her existing beauty. BUT it was her rear that got most of his attention through the vanity mirror behind her. How had he missed that yesterday, the rounded globes which were half covered by clearly a much too small pair of silk briefs, the lower half of her bouncy globes teasingly peeked out.

He was a man who had seen most of the world and had way more than his fair share in women, he was well aware of the different beauties around the world. He was always under the impression that the female population were either gifted with a healthy rear or a good pair of bosoms and if both then lacking in facial features, unless women opted to be enhanced through cosmetic surgery, which he could identify with a single glance. Yet here she was in her natural glory blessed with both assets laid on a perfect body with bewitching facial features.

He was ready to order a string of punishments at this hour of the day. He had decided to take on his disguised form of Machitis, the assassin and deal with her how he would with his victims.

He was always an early bird and would start his strict physical regime in the early hours of the day. But today he was up earlier than usual, it was 3.30am, he did not get a wink of sleep after she stormed out of his study. So he was waiting to wake her up in the most brutal of ways, yet a single glance at her innocent face, had him rethinking his plan to punish her. Her face exuded such innocence far from the exusion of her tempest body. They were the complete opposite yet combined were deadly to the male race.

She was extracting emotions from him which no other had ever done, he was feeling somewhat guilty for wanting to hurt her, he could not physically punish her. Deciding it was too early to wake her up, he left her room and walked in the direction of his gym.

After 2 hours of intensely punishing his body in the gym, he decided to try again with her punishment. He could not decipher what was wrong with him, he was always absolute with his decisions never had to think of a plan b, as he would never need to execute it. Today, for the first time he was confused, no reason would suffice for the punishments he had decided to display on her.

Entering her room, again he found her in the exact position he left her in, except this time she was completely disengaged from the bed sheets. He took a deep inhale, her body was doing things to him he had not experienced before. Deciding to cover the distraction to help him deliver his plan, as he slid the sheets over her petite body, he hears her moan in satisfaction. It was the sweetest most seductive yet innocent sound he had ever heard.

No he had to deliver his plan he could not let her distract him, ripping the sheets away from her body, Sebastian ordered, "you have 20 minutes to get ready". Hannah is abruptly woken up once again.

Hannah quickly recognizes her surroundings and sits up she uses the bed sheets in an attempt to conceal herself from the beast of a man stood before her. But her attempts were futile, as she tried to lean forward to clutch on to the bedsheets, the neckline plunged low enough for him to gain a decent view of her bosoms. Sebastians let out a growl from his throat, as he could no longer keep himself in check. He leaped on to her and held her wrists above her head fixing her tiny but curvaceous frame to the bed.

"You are playing a dangerous game, wife. Your attempt in trying to seduce me, might go against you as I have the ability to play with you all day long, which I dont think your tiny little body is equipped for", Sebastian whispered in her ear. Hannah was clearly taken back and displayed a horrified expression, " I was not attempting to seduce you, I have no interest in a mutt like you". Hannah retorted back.

This set free the chaos that was playing inside Sebastian, since yesterday. He grabbed her wrists with his one hand, and grabbed her hair and slightly tugged on them causing her neck to strain allowing him a good view of her face. "Listen carefully wife, I have never allowed anyone to answer back or question me, and I'm not going to change that now. So if you show any further signs of disobedience I will be left with no other choice but to inflict a punishment on your smooth unpunished derriere. Do you understand me?"

Hannah gave a reluctant nod. "Now get ready and meet me in the dining room in 20 minutes."

Sebastian left her room in 3 long strides, leaving Hannah to heave a sigh of relief.
