As the moon ascended to its zenith, casting a silvery glow across the room, Sebastian felt the tendrils of sleep begin to envelop him. The events of the day played out in his mind like a fading film reel, each memory receding into the background as his consciousness drifted into the realm of dreams. The gentle rhythm of his breath and the occasional creak of the floorboards outside formed a lullaby that eased him into slumber.As the night deepened, a hushed stillness settled over the surroundings, broken only by the distant chirping of crickets. Time seemed to lose its grip as Sebastian surrendered to the tranquility of the night, his mind navigating the corridors of his subconscious. The world beyond his eyelids became a canvas for his imagination, painting vivid landscapes and whispered conversations.However, the serenity of his dreamscape was soon interrupted by a subtle change in the atmosphere. A soft, diffuse light began to seep through the gaps in his curtains, gradually
Sebastian was shocked to witness the view in front of him.The Butler was lying on the floor and surrounded by two German shepherds (dog breed) who were barking at him continuously, without giving any chance to stand up."Please ,for God sake let me stand up. I am not going to punish you all ,but please don't make me lying here on the floor like this.",The Butler complained ,looking at both of them."Oh! No. It seems like they will attack the Butler anytime soon. I will have to do something in order to save him from these dogs. " Sebastian said ,looking here and there for something to make them move away from the Butler .That was when Sebastian's eyes landed on the stick that a statue was holding beside him . He took it instantly ,from the hands of the statue and started chasing the dogs away.But instead of getting scared ,the dogs turned in Sebastian's direction leaving Butler behind and started barking at him ,moving towards him slowly and slowly ."Oh! God. Please save me. I don'
The moment Sebastian left the place ,Amelia's mother and brother entered the living room ."Oh! Grandpa . How is life going ?''Noah asked , taking out his headphone to greet his grandfather ."My child ,at least come and hug me . I am looking at your face after so many days. Let me love you. ",The Butler said ,opening his arms for him."Oh! Come on Grandpa . I am not a school going kid anymore whom you will pamper like this. I am a grown up boy now.",Noah complained ,looking at him."No matter how old you become ,you will always remain my little kiddo whom I had given a ride on my back when you wished to ride on horse and I became one for you.",The Butler said ,remembering Noah's childhood days."Now you are talking like a kid to me and I hate this talk of yours. ",Noah complained , annoyingly."Mom, I am going to my room to freshen up. Call me once , when the breakfast will be ready .",Noah said ,walking away towards his bedroom.Instead of hugging his grandfather ,he went straight t
Sebastian was just passing by Noah's room on his way to the garden area when he heard someone's murmuring and stopped there to listen to the conversation ."Mom ,how many times have I told you that I don't want to take the responsibilities of the company? Why can't you guys understand that simple point ?",Noah asked , moving his fingers on his hair."Son, how many times have I told you that it's only you ,who would be going to take this responsibility as you are the next heir of the Reynolds group. If not you, then who on the earth will be going to manage all our work?",Emma questioned ,shaking her head in disbelief ."Why only me? We have Amelia , Ava and what Samuel ? They are also grandchildrens of Grandpa. Then why are you aiming at me only? I don't have any interest in business management Mom.",Noah complained looking at his mother ."How dare you take their names in front of me ? Do you really know how all these years I have invested my life in maintaining the reputation of our
"What the hell? How dare you enter my room without my permission ?",Amelia screamed at the top of her lungs ,hiding herself behind the curtains as she was just wearing a bathrobe. "Wow! So it was all your plan to take revenge on me like this?"Sebastian questioned, narrowing his eyebrows. "What the heck? Have you lost your mind? What are you talking about ?",Amelia asked, looking at him confusingly. "You planned to harm me by throwing this on my face when your first attempt at throwing the cushion failed. ",Sebastian said pointing towards the broken flower vase. "Excuse me! You don't exist in my life as far as I can see so there is no use to waste my precious time on you Mr. .. Whatever your name is!",Amelia said annoyingly . "Why are you behind the curtains then? Come and talk face to face. Why are you hiding like a thief behind the curtains ?",Sebastian inquired looking at her. "Because I just came out of my washroom after having a shower and now wearing just my bathrobe only."
The news of Sebastian being introduced as their son-in-law left the family members in a state of shock and disbelief. As the Butler made the announcement, the room fell into a stunned silence. Questions and concerns swirled in their minds, evident in the furrowed brows and hesitant expressions that adorned their faces. The sudden revelation left them grappling for words, their customary poise momentarily shattered."What the heck, Dad ? What are you saying ? Are you even in your senses before speaking this?",Emma questioned, her fists clenched, her knuckles turning white as her nails dug into her palms.""I am perfectly fine, my dear daughter in law. And I have taken this decision after thinking about it deeply. So no need to get hyper. Just calm down now.",The Butler said."I don't believe your words, Grandpa. How can't it be possible without us getting together for the marriage ceremony ?",Amelia questioned , slamming her hand on the table , echoing through the room."You must be
"Why did not you tell me earlier that nothing comes for free? At least you could ask me whether I would become comfortable with this deal or not ? Didn't you think to ask my opinion on this?", Sebastian questioned , rolling his eyes."Sometimes you have to become selfish for the sake of your family. If I become one ,I don't think there is any problem with it.",The Butler replied, with a seriousness in his voice."How do you think that my daughter would marry some random stranger whom you chose out of nowhere ,Dad ?",Emma asked, controlling her anger."Grandpa, I am out of words now. I can't believe you took the biggest decision of my life in just a few seconds without asking my opinion on this."Amelia complained , tears continuously flowing through her eyes making them swollen red."I am really sorry to say but I am not ready to accept your decision, Sir.",Sebastian said, bluntly ."I agree with him, for the first time, Grandpa. I don't accept your decision too.",Amelia said sternly,
"Oh!Great So I am stuck with you now permanently. ",Sebastian said, rolling his eyes."Oh, don't pretend you're thrilled to be in my charming company either.",Amelia replied ,sarcastically."Lucky us, bound by this oh-so-wonderful contract marriage",Sebastian mocked, looking at her deep blue eyes."It's like the universe decided to punish us together.",Amelia said, smirking ."I don't know about you. But as far as I remember I did not make such a mistake that life would punish me like this.",Sebastian wondered , thinking for a while."Life really played a game with me as I ended up with you, someone who really doesn't have basic etiquettes and knowledge of how to treat a girl nicely.",Amelia scoffed."Ah! Well I already had made a blundering mistake treating a girl like a queen who did not deserve it in the first place and the consequences after that made me regret my decision .Never in my life ,I am going to repeat the same mistake again because a mistake is a mistake for the first
