CHAPTER 105
SEBASTIAN’S POV
Days and weeks went by. I wasn’t at the castle much because I was busy with the lawsuit I filed against that detective lady and her minions for falsely accusing me of Catherine’s death and treating me badly in that cell while at their station.
At first, I didn’t want to sue them or pursue the case, but that letter Catherine’s mum sent me filled me with rage and pushed me to do it.
With the help of the Association of Alpha Kings and some of the very best lawyers in the kingdom, I fought fiercely and won the legal battle. The detective lady was demoted to the lowest rank in her field of work, her minions suspended long term and those two policemen who mistreated me in the cell were dismissed from work and their badges revoked. Which meant they couldn’t work as police anywhere else in the world. Plus, they will offer a public apology in tomorrow’s newspaper for the damage to my reputation.
Revenge has never tasted sweeter. I dod tell them they'll pay for what they put me through, but they never took my words for it. Now I was having the last laugh. My lips curved to a smirk as I was happy with what I had achieved. Things were going well. Everything about Catherine was subsiding. Now I can focus on the present and plan my future. I couldn’t wait to forever be with Brianna.
A soft, warm and gentle palm rested on my shoulder while I was seated at the dining table and waiting for my dinner, drifting me from my thoughts. I looked up to see Brianna smiling at me.
“What a beautiful coincidence,” I flattered with a flirty smile playing around the corners of my lips. “I was just thinking of you.”
“Really?” She raised a brow as if she didn’t believe me, keeping my dinner of grilled salmon and side veggie salad on the table in front of me. “Well, it’s time for you to stop thinking and start eating.”
I didn’t know she was making my dinner today. I made it clear to her that I didn’t want her working hard around the castle. But she was way too stubborn and won’t listen to me. She didn’t want to stay idle so I just had to let her only on the condition she wouldn’t be doing the task that required much effort.
She wanted to turn and walk back to the kitchen when I took her by the wrist, stopping her intending move.
“Anything else I can help you with?” She asked, glancing at my hold around her wrist and wondering why I held her back.
“Actually…yes,” I stood up and closed the gap between us, making her breath flinch. My stare was bold and assessed her frankly. I reached for a strand of her hair that fell over her temple and tucked it behind her ear. “What if I told you I’m not hungry for food right now…”
“…What then are you hungry for?” She struggled to remain coherent. “Should I make something else for you?”
“Yes.”
“What…”
“You…,” I made it clear to her, taking her by surprise. “I want you to make you for me. I’m hungry for you Brianna…only you.”
She sighed, appearing nervous. “Sebastian, please. Don’t do this to me…Now isn’t the time.”
“When?” I asked, my whole being tired of being filled with waiting. “How much longer do I have to wait? For long will you keep suffering me like this? It’s been a month. Catherine has been buried. Nothing is stopping us from being together now. I’m tired of waiting. I want you. I need you Brianna, and I need you now,” I stressed, coming closer and feeling her breath, heat and tension all on me at once. She was fighting with the overwhelming need to be so close to me.
But she didn’t need to fight. I wanted her to stop fighting. To stop playing hard to get. I wanted her to open the door to her heart and just let me in once and for all.
She looked around as if scared of something. “Sebastian….we’re too close. Someone might see us…. Please next time.”
I sighed in frustration. For how long will she keep torturing me like this? Making me live with this pain and starvation.
“There is no next time, Brianna. The entire kingdom and even the whole world can see us for all I care. I don’t give a damn,” with that being said, I lowered and swept her off her feet, lifting her into the crane of my arms.
She gasped, intense astonishment hitting her pale beautiful face like a storm as she tried to struggle, feebly hitting my chest. “What are doing Sebastian?... Put me down right this instant…someone is coming…”
“Tonight I prove my love to you. Tonight I show you that I was born to love you.”
I shut my ear to her pleas and carried her straight to her bedroom, not minding if anyone saw us.
