AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane was stunned that the burp that was about to be released was swallowed into her stomach. She slowly closed her eyes after feeling the weight of the other pair of lips on hers.

Sebastian had never been an impulsive person and he rarely lost his temper. It was like an instinct that had been carved deep into his bones to silently plot against others, manipulate and control them. However, for the first time in a very long time, he lost control tonight. The jealousy in his heart devoured his rationality when he thought of the man who pulled Roxane back from the brink of death. The flames of his jealousy were continually fanned by his guilt, annoyance, worries and fears.

He was afraid he would remember this man one day. He was afraid that she would find out that the person she loved most was someone else, not him. He couldn’t accept that she would choose someone else. He was afraid of being replaced. He had already fallen so deep that he was beyond saving at this point.

Driven by impulse and instinct, Sebastian’s thoughts became extreme. He thought she would completely belong to him, and he thought he would have complete control over her. His thoughts were so despicable that he even thought of getting her pregnant to tie her to him. He would use their child to keep her by his side forever. However, an ounce of rationality told him that he had already tied her to him with their marriage; he could no longer and did not want to be contemptible.

Roxane felt like she couldn’t breathe. His forehead was dotted with beads of sweat that glistened in the light. Her beautiful eyes looked at him in a daze, making her even more attractive.

Sebastian reached to the side and opened the drawer. All kinds of things were neatly arranged there. Although he had lost his rationality and was driven by his impulse, it seemed that he still remembered that he had said that he would never force her. He asked:

– Roxy, can I?

A confused expression appeared on Roxane’s delicate face. Who knew if she understood the implication of his question, but she acted like a kitten, shouting:

– Mr. Seb, Mr. Seb… My Mr. Seb…

The last chain of restraint snapped in Sebastian’s mind. He lowered his head and kissed her. In fact, deep in his heart, he knew that whether she acquiesced or not, he would do what he set out to do. Even if she shook her head, he was sure he could make her submit to him willingly. All his life, there was nothing he couldn’t get except that little bit of family affection. As for the rest, he had never failed to obtain them. Manipulating people’s hearts was nothing to him.

The cold night wind blew through the open window, more like a spring breeze carrying cherry blossom petals with it. It wasn’t spring, but it felt like spring right now.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Suddenly, the phone next to the bed began to vibrate. The sound was particularly jarring due to the quiet of the room where even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

Sebastian ignored him and continued.

The phone vibrated for a few more seconds. It only stayed for half a moment before it began to vibrate again. It continued to vibrate as if it wouldn’t stop until one of them gave up.

Sebastien took a deep breath. His black gaze overflowed with the most primitive desire of humans. He reached for the phone, intending to turn it off, when he saw the caller ID. His body immediately froze as if someone had just poured a bucket of ice water on him. It was scary. After a few seconds of immobility, he ends up moving away from his desire and his passion. He got out of bed, picked up his phone and walked to the window to answer the call. His voice was low and hoarse as he said:

– Good morning.

When the intimate actions stopped, Roxane slowly opened her eyes. She saw the back of the man standing by the window. Her tall, majestic figure looked even more beautiful when illuminated by the warm light streaming through the window. She thought in a daze that her figure was truly exceptional.

She didn’t know what the person on the other end of the line had said but she heard Sebastien ask in a low, cold voice:

“Is that why you’re calling so late at night?”

At this moment, Sebastien’s face was devoid of heat. He was like a completely different person from before. After another moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice:

– What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?

Then he scoffed.

– I am in charge of the Flores family now. If you are thinking about asking these elders in the family for help, you should first think about your identity.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he ended the call as soon as he finished speaking. Then he turned to look at the bed. The young woman had already slipped under the blanket and was hugging her pillow, sound asleep.

‘That heartless girl…’

The tense expression on Sebastian’s face immediately eased as a slight smile appeared on his face.

He put his phone on the nightstand and sat down next to the bed. His eyes, which burned with desire and affection, stared at Roxane’s face. The annoyance and violent storm in his heart seemed to gradually fade away as he looked at her. It seemed like she was still able to calm her emotions easily. She didn’t even need to do anything other than stay by his side.

He lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead. He whispered with a hint of reverence:

– I love you, I love you the most…

-Then you must love me, love me the most. You can’t have another person’s shadow in your heart…
