Semua Bab Something In Between Love : Bab 41 - Bab 50

CHAPTER 42Emily My ears were ringing from the slap he landed on my cheek. My leg was sore from how he repeatedly stumped on it and I think I sprained my arm when he plunged me on the bed. As I lay helpless on the floor I thought he was going to kill me. I feared I wouldn't be able to save Sophia as I had planned until from nowhere my husband appeared and started to brutally hit him. I quickly crawled to Sophia's side. When I saw that Sebastian wasn't just protecting us from Felix, his expression screamed murder. I knew I had to stop him. But I didn't dare hold onto him, I couldn't risk getting hit in the process. "Sebastian, stop! You'll kill him!" I simply yelled. But he kept punching Felix with determination as if possessed by a spirit. He kept muttering…"Die, you coward. Die." Felix tried to block the blows by covering his face with his elbows but soon gave up. I couldn’t care less about him though. Sophia. Sophia wasn’t breathing, she needed a hospital."Please stop," I cri

CHAPTER 44 Emily I struggled to put on my T-shirt, wincing each time a sharp pain surged up my neck and stabbed through my ribs. I didn’t know how much longer I could handle this. Every moment I felt more frustrated and desperate. Sebastian’s mood wasn’t helping either. Our relationship was already strained, I didn’t want to trigger another fight between us. Ever since we returned home from the hospital three days ago. He would lock himself away in the study- a pattern he had developed since we returned home, he became excessively protective, and overbearing. He wouldn't let me go out nor would he speak to me when we were alone. He simply offered help when necessary.He was the only face I saw in the morning and at night. At first, I felt guilty because one way or another I had brought it upon myself but as days passed I became furious at his aloof behavior. I needed to see eye to eye with him. Today. Now. He emerged from the closet, already ready for work. “Let me,” he muttere

CHAPTER 46Emily"Are you sure you don't feel any pain when you move your neck?" Doctor William asked in his gentle professional voice."Yes, I'm sure," I answered, trying to keep my irritation in check. Sebastian was hovering all over me. His concern was starting to get on my nerves. William nods in relief. "Okay, we can take it off then." I clapped my hands in glee, unable to contain my excitement."That's it?" Sebastian's sharp voice asked in disbelief. His arms were folded across his chest, his frown deepening with every second that passed. "You're just going to believe what she says? She's had this only for a week."I rolled my eyes at his antics. He was being so damn dramatic. William carefully began unwinding the cast from my neck, his hands steady and gentle."For the hundredth time, I feel fine. Don't be so dramatic." I muttered.But he wasn’t having it. "This won't do, Will. How about we leave it till tomorrow and keep her under surveillance until we’re sure she’s okay

CHAPTER 48"You think I'm doing well?"He asked in a soft voice, his eyes wide like a child seeking approval from a parent. Approval? Could Sebastian Crest seek my approval on anything or was I misinterpreting the situation? "Yes. I see the efforts you put in for your Mother. You have no clue, but you're her anchor. And Sophia?" I smiled and patted his shoulder, "She adores and looks up to you. She trusts you. I promise you're doing everything right. It's admirable." Suddenly, his eyes became guarded, and a flicker of discomfort clouded his features. He meets my gaze with his cold ones. "What about you?""Hmm?" I raised a brow in question. "Do you trust me?" I cleared my throat and turned my gaze to my fiddling hands. "To an extent," I muttered. He laughs softly. A sardonic sound. "I guess not enough to tell me about Sophia and Felix right?" His question caught me off guard. I had expected he'd one day ask me but I didn't think it to be this soon, I still needed time to thi

CHAPTER 50Emily "How much does he know?"Sebastian murmured. His head bowed as he scrolled through his iPad. He was so calm that I felt anxious, his stiff posture told me he felt otherwise."He's playing dirty," he muttered to himself. His brows furrowed in focus. "The article said more about Sophia being his accomplice than it did about me. It showed pictures of them seen together too many times at Murray's Publishing."I tried to solve the issue. "What is Murray publishing saying about the issue?""Spreading false statements. I think Murray knows there's no truth in the matter but is still egging the reporters on," I replied with a grimace. This was more complicated than it seems. He let out a menacing low chuckle. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on the ends. "I see, they're both hatching one egg."He stood up and began pacing, his iPad in hand. The worry vein on his forehead pulsing as it usually does whenever he is in deep thought.I shut my eyes, the feeling
