Sebastian didnโ€™t drive immediately. He sat there, hands still on the wheel. His jaw was tight, eyes unfocused. He was unsettled.

โ€œDamn it,โ€ he muttered under his breath. He shouldnโ€™t have said that.

He knew it the moment the words left his mouth, the way her voice changed, the way she didnโ€™t turn back when he called her name.

He had gone too far again.

His grip tightened slightly as his mind replayed what happened with tessa.

  • You Shouldnโ€™t Have Found Me ย ย ย Chapter 26- Between Anger and Truth

    โ€œWhere am I?!โ€ She was clearly shaken from her nightmare. โ€œStop moving,โ€ he said, his voice low, controlled. โ€œYouโ€™ll only make it worse.โ€ โ€œDonโ€™t tell me what to do,โ€ she snapped, trying to pull away from him only to wince as the movement sent pain through her body. His hand closed around her wrist, โ€œI said stop.โ€ Her eyes lifted to his and that was when she realized how close he was. Her breath caught as she became aware of everything at once his hand still wrapped around her wrist, his body too close, his eyes fixed on hers like he wasnโ€™t looking away anytime soon. โ€œLet go of me,โ€ she said quietly, her voice firm despite the slight tremble in it. He held her for a second longer then slowly let go, his gaze never leaving hers. โ€œI donโ€™t want to stay here.โ€ Zara pushed herself up from the bed, ignoring the protest from her body. The moment her feet touched the ground, pain shot through her but she didnโ€™t stop. Sebastian moved immediately, his hand caught her arm, steady

  • You Shouldnโ€™t Have Found Me ย ย ย Chapter 25 โ€” Too Close to Ignore

    He opened the passenger door with one hand, the other still holding her against him. For a brief second, he paused because he needed to make sure she was steady before letting go. Zara didnโ€™t look at him, she kept mute that alone unsettled him more than the fight did. Slowly, he lowered her into the seat, guiding her in with controlled precision, his hand lingering at her waist just a second longer than necessary before pulling away. She sank into the leather not acting like the same girl who argued with him hours ago. This one kept her distance and he didnโ€™t like it. He leaned in, pulling the seatbelt across her body. The space between them disappeared instantly. His arm brushed lightly against her chest as the belt clicked into place, his face only inches from hers. Their eyes met, Zaraโ€™s gaze wasnโ€™t sharp like usual. It wasnโ€™t challenging and distant. Like she had already stepped away from something he hadnโ€™t even realized he was holding onto. โ€œYou donโ€™t have to take m

  • You Shouldnโ€™t Have Found Me ย ย ย Chapter 24 - She Crossed The Line

    The crowd wasnโ€™t on Zaraโ€™s side not even for a second. Hands held her down while Tessa stood free in front of her, breathing hard, eyes burning with something ugly. โ€œHold her properly,โ€ Tessa snapped, fixing her dress like nothing had happened. โ€œIf she doesnโ€™t know her place, Iโ€™ll remind her.โ€ Zara struggled, anger and humiliation crashing into each other inside her chest. โ€œLet me go!โ€ she snapped, trying to break free but no one listened because Tessa wasnโ€™t just anyone and Zara, she wasnโ€™t important enough. The first slap landed hard. Her head turned with it, a sharp sting spreading across her cheek as her breath caught for a second. A few gasps, some murmured bt no one stepped in to help her. Sebastian wasnโ€™t thinking anymore, he was driving like a man with something to lose. Red lights meant nothing at this point not even other car horns. All he could see was Zara and every possible version of what could be happening to her and none of them were good. He knew Tessa too w

His grip tightened slightly as his mind replayed what happened with tessa. (flashback) Tessa walked into his office like she belonged there. โ€œYouโ€™ve been busy,โ€ she had said, her tone laced with something deliberate. โ€œOr is there someone else now?โ€ He didnโ€™t look up immediately. โ€œTessa, I donโ€™t have time for this.โ€She didnโ€™t leave. Instead, she leaned against his desk, her posture was inappropriate, her presence intrusive. โ€œWhat do you think of your new assistant because if it's left to me I don't like her,โ€ she continued, her lips curving slightly. โ€œIs she capable, there would always be someone better you know?โ€ Sebastianโ€™s

    โ€œDo you enjoy that kind of attention?โ€ The question came out of nowhere but it cut through the silence like it had been waiting. Zara turned slowly, her brows pulling together. โ€œWhat?โ€ Sebastian didnโ€™t look at her. His gaze remained fixed on the road, his voice steady. โ€œThe way he was looking at you,โ€ he continued. โ€œYou seemedโ€ฆ comfortable.โ€ For a second, she just stared at him then disbelief settled in. โ€œYouโ€™re serious?โ€ โ€œI donโ€™t ask questions I donโ€™t mean.โ€ Zara let out a short breath, shaking her head. โ€œI was doing my job.โ€ โ€œA job that requires you to entertain clients now?โ€ Her head snapped toward him. โ€œThatโ€™s not fair.โ€ โ€œIsnโ€™t it?โ€ โ€œNo,โ€ she said firmly. โ€œItโ€™s not.โ€ Silence pressed in again, thicker this time, heavier. โ€œYou donโ€™t get to question my professionalism,โ€ she added, her voice steadier now. โ€œNot after what just happened in there.โ€ โ€œAnd what exactly do you think happened?โ€ he asked. Zaraโ€™s jaw tightened. โ€œYou saw it.โ€ โ€œAnd yet,โ€ he replied smoothly, โ€œyo

  • You Shouldnโ€™t Have Found Me ย ย ย Chapter 21 โ€” I Don't Share What's Mine

    By the time Zara returned to her desk, she forced herself into routine. Anything that would keep her from thinking. Files were reviewed, corrections made, emails answered with precise efficiency. On the surface, everything was normal. But underneath her mind wasnโ€™t. It was drifting repeatedly back to the image she didnโ€™t want to dwell on and when the clock finally struck twelve, relief didnโ€™t come tension did. She stood outside Sebastianโ€™s office, steadying herself before knocking. The door opened before her hand touched it and someone stepped out. Tessa was adjusting her dress, composed as ever. Her lips curved the moment she saw Zara, her gaze slow, deliberate, almost mocking as she brushed past her, shoulder grazing hers just enough to be intentional. Zara froze for a second, her thoughts colliding all at once. He kissed me and sheโ€™s leaving his office like that the next day?. Something in her chest tightened, sharp and unwelcome. She exhaled slowly. โ€œGet over it,โ€ she mutt
