CHAPTER 72 Emily "For the last time, you're not going to work hobbling like that. I know it'll be hard for you to hear this, but the company can survive a day without you," I declared. Sebastian hobbled around the closet trying but failing to wear a shirt, wincing every five seconds. "I want to believe you, but I can't sit still when I have the image of my building up in flames. Besides, I have to visit Sam and Mr. Kudi.” It so happened that the absence of Sam that day was because he received a hard hit on the head. Though he was discharged, Sebastian insisted he take sick days- or rather, sick weeks off. While Mr. Kudi is on bed rest in the hospital. The thought of the old bugger in the hospital because of Michael filled me with rage. "I spoke with them last night while you slept like a log and they're both doing great. Also, the board members are willing to reschedule, they'll be communicating through conference calls for the time being. Lastly, Murray Publishing

CHAPTER 74 Emily "Congratulations!” I hugged Richie, ignoring Beth's and Sebastian's displeasure. Beth scoffed in disbelief and folded her arm on her chest. “Thank you Em," Richie said. “You went through so much to get here,”I rubbed his back in comfort. We were having fun teasing Beth. “It wasn't easy,” he dramatically placed his palm over his heart. “Stop encouraging her, or the wedding is off,” Beth warned. “This is your life from now on,” I teased. Sebastian simply observed the scene with a scowl.He clears his throat and stands up."I think congratulations are in order,” he stuck out his arm for a handshake. Richie stared at it debating whether to accept it. Their eyes locked in a silent battle until they finally shook hands. In a firm grip. “Thank you,” Richie replied with a tight smile. “Firm grip you have there.” “My work demands it, although you wouldn't understand, you're a pretty boy with a silver spoon…"Beth slapped his chest before he could finish his sen

CHAPTER 76Sebastian “You know you're in big trouble right?” Vanessa said with a smirk. “Shut up,” I snapped, "I'm not here to have a chit-chat with you.” I gulped a glass of scotch down my throat. It burned, but not like my heart. What I did was inconsiderate, but I was caught off guard; I felt guilty for keeping a secret from her, and at the same time, I felt betrayed. “If you say so.” She said in a sing-song tone. She crossed her long legs, her short gown rode up her thigh. I almost laughed out loud at her obvious tactics. “Stop it, Vanessa, this is getting old, it's also kind of sad.”I stared down at my drink with a sullen expression as if it held all the answers to the questions swirling inside my head. “It worked before,?” she replied. I slapped her hand away when she touched my thigh. She scoffed and sipped her drink. “Yes because I was foolish and naive then.” “Foolish, yes, but naive? No. Seb, you were in every way the perfect man for me but I was blinded by

CHAPTER 77Sebastian “The findings came out, he's indeed Richard Asher.” I stared at the documents, and my mind went ballistic, flipping through different thoughts of the prospect of such a coincidence. What was I supposed to do with Emily? We were already on a bumpy road. "Okay, please keep this…""You can count on me, Mr. Crest." Sam replied before I could"Thank you, Sam," That night, as I lay in bed with Emily, our backs facing away from each other, my mind deep in thought, and my heart heavy, I wondered how I would break such news to her. Soon I slipped into sleep; there was the accident again, Seth dying, a kind man saving us when suddenly the car went up in flames; I could feel the heat on my skin, a shred of iron poking into my back, and my breathing coming out in short gasps. I couldn't breathe, someone was choking me! Sebastian! Someone was calling me. Was it Emily? I have to get to her. "Sebastian, darling, wake up!” I jerked up, panting and drenched in sweat. M

CHAPTER 79EmilyEverything else was a blur after I left Beth's house. I decided to check on Emma and find out if Mother contacted her. The moment I entered the house, my mouth opened like a fish out of water at the scene in front of me. Sam and Emma, sitting up beside the dining table in the kitchen. Emma was laughing at something Sam whispered in her ear, they were too enamored with each other to notice me."What is going on, what are you two doing?" I asked as I walked further into the house. At this point, after what I had seen and gone through the past few days, this was nothing compared to it."We're talking, what does it look like?" Emma replied in a casual tone as if this was an ordinary scenario. Unlike the other times, she was caught with countless, nameless guys, this was Sam. Our Sam. I wasn't going to let it go. I scoffed in disbelief, "You're kidding me,"I turned to Sam, whose face showed an emotion since I met him, unlike his usual stoic expression. He was blushing.
