Sebastian.
“I said LEAVE NOW!” I roar at Gabrielle.
Good thing I have my back on her, or she would have witnessed me slowly turning into a beast.
I hear her sta**ering to her feet, and then she slams the door behind her.
“F*ck it, Kylo!” I cry out angrily. “Get ahold of yourself!”
I underestimated myself, and I underestimated the effect that Gabrielle really has on me.
When I touched her, my senses were electrified. It’s always like his when I touch Gabrielle. I go insane with lust.
And when she mentions that she’s seeing another man, I cannot help it, too. I go crazy with rage. The thought of her being touched by another man just drives me mad.
Kylo is the same. And now, he is enraged, and I can hardly control him.
‘She’s lying!’ Kylo roars. ‘There’s no way that what she’s saying
is true!’
us
here!’I order him.
It takes a few moments and then finally he calms down. I can feel my pulse start to stabilize.
‘You will not do that again!’ I scold him. ‘We will not turn here in the office just to satisfy those horror stories they write about in books.’
I march over to the bar and pour myself a glass of whiskey.
‘It’s not true, you know, ‘Kylo says. ‘There is no way she would melt like that with our touch and let another man touch her that
way!’
‘So what if she’s lying? Didn’t you hear? She doesn’t want us to come near her anymore?’
‘She doesn’t mean that. She’s just mad right now.’
I am not sure. I know Gabrielle well. This is the first time she talked to me like that. And something tells me that she means it. She wants me to stay the f*ck away from her.
It’s over.
Gabrielle and I are over…

Gabrielle.

I run out of Sebastian’s office as quickly as I can. All the years that I have known Sebastian, he’s always been cold and emotionless. But today, I see him lose control.

For a second, he looks like he’s going to turn into some sort of animal. He reminds me of something I only see in my dreams!
On the way out, I bump into Benjamin.
“Miss Jones, are you okay?” he asks me.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” I reply, then I walk past him.
“Do you want a ride?” he calls out.
“No, thanks!” And then I blend into the crowd, ignoring him.
I just want to leave. I want to get away from Sebastian. I just know that the more I stay with him, the more I will fall for him all over again.
The city lights, the noise of the traffic, everything feels like a blur to me. Then suddenly, I start to feel dizzy. Sweat run down my forehead and I feel a sharp pain in my abdomen.
“F*ck!” I curse as I stop walking, holding my tummy. The pain intensifies every second. “H-help!” I can barely utter the word. Then everything turns dark around me.
I don’t know how much time have passed. But when I opened my eyes again, I see bright lights on white walls.

“Good, you’re awake,” a soft female voice say beside me. I turn to my left and see a friendly-looking nurse smiling down at me. “Feeling better?”
I try to sit up. “Where am I?”
“In the hospital. You fainted on the street. An ambulance brought you in. The doctor would like to run more tests.”
I shake my head. “That’s not necessary. I know exactly what’s wrong with me.”
She looks at me hesitantly for a moment, then she nods. “Okay. I will have the discharge papers ready.”
As the nurse leaves, my phone rings. I see Maya’s name on the screen. I quickly compose myself.
“Hey, Maya,” I greet her, keeping my voice steady, so she won’t suspect that I ended up in the hospital after Sebastian had called me to come in after office hours. As if, I needed to give Maya another reason to hate Sebastian.
“Where are you? I called you like a bazillion times!”
I check my phone and see that I have a dozen missed calls from Maya alone.
“Sorry, I accidentally muted my phone. What’s up?”
“Where are you? I’m going to pick you up.”

“Oh no, no!” I say, almost in a panic. “Don’t pick me up! I’m… I’m actually on my way home. You don’t need to worry.”
“Are you sure?” Maya doesn’t sound convinced.
“Ummm-hmmm.”
“What did Sebastian King want from you at this hour anyway?”
“Nothing.” I reply. “He just needed some office files.”
“Alright,’ she says. “Just take care of yourself and rest well. You really need it.”
“Thank you, Maya. Bye.”
As I hung up, I accidentally swipe my finger to the gallery and a photo of me and Sebastian displays on the screen.
This is the only photo of me and Sebastian together in one frame. I remember this night vividly.
We just came from a company dinner, and he had been drinking. He took me back to my apartment. I thought he was going to f*ck me, because why else would he go to my apartment? But to my greatest surprise, he just held me in bed.
I took a picture of us then. And just before he succumbs to sleep, he smiled at me and said, “I wish she was you.”
Then he dozed off, leaving me wondering what he meant by

what he said.
Who was she?
Was she the reason why he couldn’t bring himself to like me?
As I listen to his quiet snores that night, tears roll down my cheeks. That was the first time I realized that I was in love with
him.
The nurse returns with my discharge papers, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“I checked your records. You really need the treatment, sweetie,” she says, smiling at me accidentally. “It’s not yet too late.”
I nod. “Thank you.”
Before I go home, I pass by the dry cleaners to drop off the coat of Maya’s client.
I have to remember to ask Maya for his contact details. It was so nice of him to let me borrow it.
Just as I start to walk home, a black limousine pulls up just in front of my apartment.
I get nervous because usually, anything luxurious that pulls up in front of my place has something to do with Sebastian King.
And I’m right. Because as I walk past it, the window rolls down,

“Get in the car, Miss Jones. There’s something important that
we need to talk about.”
S*it! What is it this time?
