Semua Bab The wedding of revenge: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Julian was still recovering from the wounds he had sustained, but his heart was filled with hatred for Sebastian for putting him in such state, while also hating himself for allowing his wants surpass his mental reasoning to have harassed Kaira like that. He stared at the news which was headline, while he wanted Kaira all to himself, the news did him no good, because it was ruining his own reputation. He suspected Sebastian was the one who created such frenzy news so as to ruin him. “You see were all your crazy has landed you right?” Evelyn snapped angrily as she entered the room, holding a file in her hand. She was already over the edge because of headline news which was ruining Julian and Kaira’s reputation while skyrocketing hers and Sebastian’s. She won’t have cared about it if it were only Kaira involved but with Julian now in it, she wanted to clear the mess as soon as possible. “What do you want now?” He spat out, placing his phone down by the side table close to the bed. E

“Nice to have you, Mrs. Blackwood,” Sebastian said with a stoic expression, his piercing gaze fixed on Claudia. It was a Saturday, and he was home when his mother-in-law unexpectedly called, insisting on checking up on them. Oddly, she’d first asked if Kaira was around, which immediately raised his suspicions. The lawsuit was only two days away, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that Claudia was here to convince him to drop it. “Oh, please, no need to be so formal, Sebastian. We’re family, aren’t we?” she replied with a chirpy tone, settling onto the couch as though she owned the place. Sebastian offered her a faint, sarcastic smile. “Yes, of course we are. What can I offer you?” he asked politely, standing in front of her like a sentinel. “Juice, preferably,” she answered, her eyes darting around the room like a thief surveying a target. She was clearly verifying his earlier claim that Kaira wasn’t home. And she wasn’t—Kaira had gone shopping with Nora after being persistently

Julian showed up in court, just as Sebastian had planned. Mathias hadn’t responded, proving he was too greedy to let go of the contract. But Mathias had no idea he was walking right into Sebastian’s trap. Sebastian handed Julian a bill for $20 million—a ridiculous amount meant to force the Blackwoods, desperate to avoid scandal, to pay. The case had turned public opinion in Kaira’s favor, and the media now saw her as the true victim. People even dug up Julian’s past, uncovering his relationship with Kaira, his later marriage to Evelyn, and how the family had ignored Kaira for years.“Please, Kaira, lower the bill,” Mathias begged over the phone. He had already asked her to drop the case, but she refused.“I won’t, Mr. Blackwood,” Kaira replied firmly. “I’ve told you what I need. Pay up, or I’ll make sure Julian goes to jail. I doubt you’d want that, would you?” Her tone was sharp, full of satisfaction. She remembered begging them for basic needs once, and they never listened.“Why are

“Don’t open your eyes until I tell you to, princess,” Sebastian ordered as he freed his hands from Kaira’s eyes.“Alright, boss,” she responded sarcastically, smiling as she anticipated the surprise. She was blindfolded, and Sebastian had driven them from the house to a secret location. He had covered her eyes with his hands when they got out of the car, claiming she might see through the blindfold.Sebastian backed away, standing in front of her with a key in his hand. He pulled it from his suit pocket and jiggled it in front of her. “You may open your eyes now,” he whispered.“I’m blindfolded, remember?” she said with a laugh. He chuckled as he moved to remove the thin cloth covering her eyes.Kaira adjusted to the light, blinking after having her eyes shut for so long. The first thing she noticed was the key he held up close to her face, gleaming under the sunlight. Her expression turned to confusion and curiosity as she took the key from him.“What is this for, Seb?” she asked, ar

“Your apology seems to have touch the heart of many, because they are now leaning towards your story.” Mathias beamed happily as he stared at the comments from the press release from the past day. Julian smiled smugly, “Of course it would, father. I read through the words Evelyn had prepared for me over and over. I’m sure in no time the company would be back on its feet like it was before.” He bragged, his arms wrapped around Evelyn as they smiled at each other feeling accomplished. Julian had turned his affection towards Evelyn after realizing just how far she was willing to go to get his name out of dirt. He had realized he might have been chasing shadows whom would never return his feelings. Ever since then, they have turned into a lovely couple with their goals being same— which was destroying Kaira’s life. “I’m just happy everything worked as planned.” Claudia said briefly with a smile. She was glad she couldn’t be roasted by her husband should he ever discover her major inv
