"Why on earth is Sebastian concerned about that twit, that insignificant slight, that..." the muttering of Felicia was cut off by the stern gaze of her mother, Astra. "I think you should focus on the wedding and not that insignificant twit of a maid. You do know that you made the grave mistake of releasing that video, we should focus on covering our tracks and ensuring we snare Dylan as quickly as possible. " They were at the biggest mall shopping for wedding dresses.
Their plan was rolling along nicely and getting into trouble with Sebastian was not something they wanted to get entangled with. Especially with the fact that he had influence, power and wealth. Astra wished she had put Felicia in her half daughter's shoes but then she realised that the dirty image and ruined reputation was not worth it.
"Very soon! Sebastian would dump his tirade and move on, such men are known to not chase after things for long. He is too busy surrounded with the hottest women to even see that mouse of a girl. So never mind darling!" She purred as they stopped at a high end store filled with designer wedding gowns.
Felicia looked at her mother admiring her confidence and beauty. Astra was a beauty queen with her pale blue eyes, platinum blonde hair and flawless skin, she roped her husband into marrying her when they first met at a work function.
Astra controlled her husband like a remote toy and she taught her daughter to do the same. "Yes mum, you are so right, so how do we deal with this situation and clean up after ourselves?" She asked as they nodded at the doormen who opened the door to the elite store.
"I have my people darling, we will first buy off all those sites and then clear off the hotel staff before they expose our secrets and then take care of the other little things. But you should not worry your little head about it, instead we should look into enjoying the champagne and picking the most gorgeous gown in all of Casterton. " her mom patted her head and beckoned to the shop attendants, one of which was holding a tray with glasses of champagne.
They were led to a room filled with dresses as they clicked their glasses together.

"What do you mean? Are you telling me that there is no staff that knows about the incident or do I have to hurt someone before I get the real news about why my ass is on the net?" Sebastian fumed as he flung the file that his personal assistant, Michael gave him.
His temple throbbed as he stood to look out the window, he did not build this empire on stupidity and non resilience. "You had better get me those people by informing management that they have a choice between giving me the names or me acquiring the hotel and sacking all the staff in it in two weeks."
Michael bowed and adjusted his tie before stepping out of the office, Sebastian decided to call Sheila, he had always wanted her, he watched her from the beginning. She was dazzling with her angelic and petite features, and he often told his nephew that he was a lucky man. He was secretly happy that they were together but not with this circumstances, he was going to resolve this matter as quickly as possible and give her the best, even to making Dylan regret his whole life.
"Hey! How are you doing, cupcake?" He said as he listened for her soft voice over the phone. "I am great, I have been able to recover my clothes, thanks to your men, but I'm bored out of my mind. I wish you will allow me to investigate in this matter." She complained over the phone. Sebastian laughed and shook his head, "You have absolutely no reason to worry about this. I will find the person. " he answered.
"What if I know the person ? I mean I have an idea, you..."Sheila was cut off by Sebastian hushing her. " The only thing you should think or worry about is taking care of yourself and our baby. I will deal with everything even if it means burning down this city to find who marred your name."
"Okay then! Please yourself but I believe I should be updated. I have being kept in the dark. You didn't even ask who I think it is?" She grumbled, "I think I know who you have in mind. But we need concrete evidence dear. You know what I will be taking you out to a place, it's a surprise, amore mio." He was hoping she would squeal in delight but to his disappointment, she just sighed and said goodbye.
Sebastian looked at his massive mahogany desk filled with work and started scrolling through his phone. He needed to clear his schedule for the evening, it was time to begin "Operation Seduce Sheila ". He decided to call his secretary, Nona has been more a mother than secretary.
" Yes, yes, you called." She bustled in with her glasses perched on her nose and a petulant expression on her face. Nona was a mother of four and grandmother of eleven but she was still as efficient as when she joined the company at twenty six.
" I know you will be pleased with this news and request. You will be the first person who will know this." He said as he twirled and leaned on his seat. She arched her brow in interest and curiosity, waiting for him to speak.
"I am expecting a baby with the girl of dreams..." he was interrupted by Nona squeezing the life out of him. "Are you serious, mio figlio? A baby? A woman? I sincerely thought you would die single. I mean apart from those meaningless, simpering things you have hanging around you, I have never expected you to make such announcement in a million years." She cried out happily.
"But I want to please her, I want to make her happy, some people have hurt her and made her believe she is damaged goods." He said as he left her embrace, "sì, sì, I understand she is the one involved with the incident right? Those cruel people shaming that little girl. What a cruel world! But if there is one person who can make a woman happy, it should be you. " Nona said in reply,
