Seeing Seraphina stepping out, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes lighting up instantly.
"Seraphina."
Thank god. He finally got to see her.
Seraphina furrowed her brow.
What was he doing here?
Speak of the devil.
Before she could say a word, Sienna chased after her from the living room, her voice dripping with honey. "Sebastian, you made it! Come inside. I told the kitchen to prep—"
She cut herself off, noticing that Sebastian's eyes were glued to Seraphina.
It was as if Sienna were entirely invisible.
His gaze locked onto the glaring handprint on Seraphina's cheek, and his expression turned thunderous.
"Who hit you? What the hell happened?" he demanded, his tone turning severe.
Seraphina turned her head away, avoiding his stare. "It's none of your business."
"Seraphina!" Sebastian's tone grew desperate. "We need to talk."
That was his whole reason for coming today.
Ever since she publicly called off their wedding, she had completely ghosted him.
He had so much he needed to say.
"Get out of my way. We have nothing to discuss," Seraphina said coldly.
She was no longer his fiancée.
What was the point of pretending to care now?
Besides, she knew exactly what he was after.
Sebastian had been eyeing her shares this entire time.
Watching this play out, Sienna's fingers curled tightly into the fabric of her dress.
Damn Seraphina to hell!
From the moment Sebastian walked through the door, he hadn't given Sienna a single glance.
"Sebastian." Seraphina finally stopped and locked eyes with him, her gaze freezing cold. "We are nothing to each other anymore. Who I marry, or who hits me, is none of your damn business. Do you understand?"
Sebastian clenched his fists, his voice turning ragged. "Your face... at least let me drive you home."
"I brought a car," she stated flatly. Without giving him another second to argue, she walked straight past him toward the sleek black Maybach idling by the curb.
Sebastian stared at her retreating figure. She walked with complete conviction, carrying her bag, never once looking back.
His chest tightened violently, as if an invisible hand was crushing his heart, making it hard to breathe.
No, his feelings for her...
He only cared about her shares. That was it.
"Sebastian?" Noticing his distraction, a flare of jealousy sparked in Sienna's eyes, though her voice remained tender. "Sera... is probably just in a bad mood. Don't take it personally. Let's head inside. My parents are waiting for you."
Sebastian tore his eyes away and gave a stiff nod. He didn't say another word.
Sienna bit her lip. Catching a subtle look from Zelda out of the corner of her eye, she got the message and dropped the subject.
It didn't matter. They had plenty of time.
