CHAPTER 114
SEBASTIAN’S POV
I put a lot of effort into organizing this. Everything was supposed to go well. It was meant to be perfect. Uncle Joe was supposed to like Brianna and make her feel welcome. But he just did the entire opposite to my greatest shock and surprise.
I can’t believe he said all that mean stuff to her and made her look like shit in front of me. That was unlike Uncle Joe. The only uncle I knew. In all my years of knowing him, I never thought he could be so cruel.
Brianna was an omega. Not just any omega but an omega I got from the slave auction. Yes, I’m perfectly aware of that. But what difference does it make?
She is the beat in my heart. The light in my day. Anytime I sleep I see her. Whenever I wake up I see her. Only her. Every day I tell myself I want to be with her. I want to love her and make her feel better. I want to make her mine. Forever. I don’t give a fuck about societal status or what anyone thinks. They can rot in hell with their thoughts for all I care.
In the end, love is all that matters.
I saw her eyes, large and liquid, filled with tears that threatened to flood down her cheeks. But she did all she could to hold them back. I felt her pain, raw and intense as she stood from her seat and ran upstairs. I promised myself I wouldn’t let her feel that way ever again, but I failed. Again.
Fuck!
I told her Uncle Joe was the most easy-going person I knew and that he’d like her at first sight. Now she’ll think I organized all this just to have her humiliated.
Goodness….this wasn’t good at all. I don’t want her to hate me again. I can’t afford that. I have been taking all the necessary steps to avoid that. I might just break completely if she does.
“Brianna…. Brianna….please don’t go…” I tried to talk her out of it but she didn’t even spare me a glance.
I pushed my chair back and got up. I wanted to chase after her. Comfort her and tell it wasn’t meant to be like this. But my uncle held my elbow, stopping me.
“Don’t chase after her,” he said, his jaw tight. “Let her go. She isn’t worth it.”
I scoffed in disbelief before forcefully freeing my arm from his grip. After all he’s done, he still had the guts to tell me not to chase after her.
“If there is anyone who isn’t worth it here, it’s you,” I said unwaveringly to his face, steaming with rage. If he wasn’t my uncle I swear I would have knocked out all his teeth and watched how he manages to say such mean things to people again without them.
“What has gotten into you?” He looked at me like he couldn’t recognise me anymore. Like I wasn’t the Sebastian he knew. “Don’t tell me she brainwashed you or gave you some love potion because this is unlike you. People like her exist solely for serving their betters which is us! For goodness sake, it hadn’t been more than a month since Catherine passed away and you already want to replace her with….with that dumb piece of shit. Hope the rumours aren’t true Sebastian. Don’t make me believe you had a hand in what happened to Catherine just so you could be with that lowlife.”
I growled, my teeth baring. I clenched my fist so tightly, that the veins and the bones underneath the flesh bulged prominently.
He was getting on my nerves and I was holding myself back with everything I had to avoid taking it out on him.
“You can go ahead and believe whatever you want, I don’t give a fuck. I have no more words to say to you. You have succeeded in making me lose the respect I have for you so if you don’t mind, get your stupid ass off my seat and leave my castle,” I settled a few meters away from him and gestured towards the door.
That took him like a storm from nowhere. He snorted in disbelief, his eyes flickering in confusion as he stared at me. He couldn’t believe his nephew who he’d known since he was a baby was kicking him out.
Well, if he wasn’t such an asshole I won’t be kicking him out. He brought it upon himself.
It was getting late. He was meant to spend the night here but with what he just did to Brianna, he was better off in the streets.
“Sebastian…it’s me…,” he said as if to get me back to my senses. “You’re one and only uncle…you mum’s only brother that you’re kicking out. Do you understand the gravity of what you’re doing? If you end up with her, you’ll bring shame and disgrace not only to yourself but to our entire lineage. Think about it, if you do this, there is no going back.”
