Sebastian’s P. O. V
Her teary eyes tormented me the entire night. I couldn’t sleep at all so decided to go to the office early morning. On my way to the office, I paused and peeked inside her cabin. There she was engrossed in her work. I checked my watch, it was only 7. 30 am. The office time starts at 8 so why did she come so early? She always loved her morning sleeps. I couldn’t resist myself from asking,
“I thought you hated mornings, how did you become an early bird?”
She looked up from the file and my eyes met with her big amber eyes. They were still the same from my memories.
“Good morning Mr. Smith. Do you need anything?” she asked with a fake professional smile reminding me about our present relationship.
“No, thanks,” saying that I turned back to my office. I didn’t want to think about the past so it’s better to leave her on her own for today I guess.
I was too busy with my work to check on the time. But the commotion coming from outside of my office door was too loud to ignore. I closed my laptop and walked out of my office.
Kylie was standing there with the secretary girl, whose name I guess was Cindy. In front of them was Samantha who was fuming in rage.
“What is happening here?” I asked frowning at the three ladies. But what Samantha said next made my blood boil.
Did Kylie say I was her used thing? So she did accept that she used me? Everything between us was a part of her plan from the beginning. I clenched my fist and locked my eyes with her. I will never forgive you, I will make you pay every second of your life, I swore in my mind.
“A shameless woman like her is used to seduce men to climb up on their bed to get her work done. She wanted to seduce me too to get advantages from me but failed,” I sneered with a smirk. From the corner of my eyes, I could see there were a lot of people watching us and that’s what I wanted. To humiliate her in front of everyone.
I could see tears filled in her big amber eyes making them shiny. That’s when her phone rang and the next second she rushed out of her cabin towards the elevator without sparing a glance at the crowd. What’s wrong with her? I saw Miss Parker follow behind her.
Without waiting for a second, I walked back inside my office, followed by Samantha. She kept blabbering something but nothing reached my ear. I was busy typing something in my mobile.
“Sebastian, are you listening to me?” I looked up from the mobile screen to meet the questioning look of Samantha.
“Sorry, what were you saying?” I asked her while taking a seat on my big swivel chair.
“Did you take her to try this dress before you gifted this to me?” she asked scowling. I rolled my eyes at her childishness. What does she think of her? I bought this dress only to torment Kylie. After that, I had no use of it so asked my driver to throw it away and she happened to be in front of my house at that time and took it from me saying she loved the color. And now she was questioning as if I bought it for her in the first place.
“Look Samantha you know it well the relationship between us is nothing more than a business deal. My father wanted us to be engaged not me. And I didn’t ask you to help me in my revenge plan for Kylie, you insisted on helping me. Now that you have fulfilled your purpose please leave,” saying that I turned to my laptop. I was in no mood to entertain her at that moment. She was nothing more than a business partner for me. She better be within her limit than to show her authority over my life.
I heard the clicking sounds of her heels followed by the door closing and knew she was out of my office. I sighed in frustration. I didn’t mean to hurt her, she was a good friend of mine. But sometimes her overbearing love for me becomes suffocating.
My mobile vibrated indicating I had received a new message. I swiped right to open the text and it was from my personal investigator.
“She went to the hospital after leaving office. Her father is in a coma and she requires 10 million dollars to do his brain surgery.”
I read the message several times and a devilish smirk appeared on my lips. This was the perfect time to give her my offer. Now we both had something that we could negotiate for.
“Kylie Johnson, you said you used me, right? Now it is my turn to use your situation. You need money and I will give you that. This time you will know how it feels if someone used your situation for their benefit.”
I took a deep breath feeling much lighter than a few moments ago. Then I picked up my mobile to dial my assistant’s number.
“Paul, prepare a contract and a marriage registry form. Then bring them to my new office,” I ordered.
“Who is getting married and what type of contract, Mr. Smith? Who is getting married?” he asked like a stupid.
“My marriage form, I am getting married. Bring it as fast as you can. If you don’t want to be transferred to the Africa branch,” I scolded him and hung up.
You might think of me as a jerk because I was taking advantage of someone’s misery. But let me tell you that you are wrong. I am not only a jerk but a devil. And I am going to make her life a living hell who is responsible for this devil side of mine.
You have no idea how much I despise you Kylie Johnson but I don’t know why I still feel attracted to you. So I am going to own you this time.
