Natalie helped Sebastian knot his tie as he dressed up for work. She knitted it perfectly and also helped him button up his sleeves.
"You're the most handsome man I've ever set my eyes on." She complimented, giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Hmm really?" Sebastian grinned, as he combed his hair.
Natalie wrapped her hands around his broad back, taking in his scent. "Of course, my husband is a prince charming." She said with a smile.
Sebastian suddenly grabbed her waist and began to kiss her and she couldn't resist him. In just a twinkle of an eye, her bra was on the floor and she was almost naked. Slowly, he led her to the bed and got on top of her.
He started to kiss every part of her body, earning a pleasant moan from her, just as he was about to penetrate her, she opened her closed eyes.
"What's wrong?" Sebastian asked with a furrow in his brows. "I've missed you a lot." He whispered into her ears.
"But you're late for work already, why don't we continue when you're back? I'm all yours." She said, kissing his lips. Sebastian reluctantly stood up and just then his phone rang.
It was Abigail calling and he picked up with a smile.
"Hello mom…"
As soon as Natalie heard her voice, she became nervous and just prayed the call wasn't about her.
"Sebastian, when are you going to throw that old hag out of your house! Find someone who can bear me grandchildren!" Abigail retorted, disgust evident in her voice.
The phone was left on speaker and Natalie heard everything she was saying.
"Mom...um..can I call you back? I'm quite busy. I'll surely give you a call." He hung up because he doesn't want Natalie to listen to their conversation and he doesn't want to excuse himself so he wouldn't ignite any suspicion.
Sebastian gave Natalie a hug as she sniffed, holding back her tears.
"Sebastian, are you going to leave me?" She asked amidst silent sobs.
"Of course not, Natalie!" He replied almost immediately. "For the first time in my life, I hung up on my mom because of you. I promise I'm not going to leave you for anyone. We're going to face our problems together, okay?" He bluffed in the sweetest voice ever and stupidly, Natalie believed him.

"I love what I'm seeing, it's so good we're making progress." Kaloyan grinned, staring into the laptop which was being operated by Levi.
She nodded with a grin. "Yes, we are. Now I've been able to track down the underground organisation's location." Levi showed Travis and Kaloyan a blueprint.
"On the outer part, it looks like a regular bar but it isn't. There is a a door that leads to an hidden elevator which nobody knows about and it guides down to the secret underground tunnel and finally the part of the building, where the real business takes place." She explained.
"So what's the next plan?" Kaloyan asked.
"We have to infiltrate the organisation and Levi, you'd pose as a skilled hacker. Your name is Delilah Joe." Travis said and she nodded.
"What a brilliant idea!" Kaloyan patted his back.
"We're on this team together. I'll create a fake information about that name and upload it to the internet. But I need a mask, I can't show my true identity." Levi mentioned.
Travis brought out a mask from his bag which shows a different face. "What about this?"
Levi gave him an applause. "Fantastic, this would do." She collected the mask from him and put it on. She checked herself on her phone's screen.
"Hmmm… how were you able to come about this, Travis. It looks so real."
"Skills Levi, I have them. It's not so difficult to create that." He shrugged.
Levi removed the mask and put it in her bag. "That's nice, in no time Sebastian Sean would be on his knees. I'm sure of that."
She was full of determination and she was going to do all it takes to be successful on this mission.
Years back, Sebastian had mudered her father years ago just because he was unable to pay back a debt and not long after he killed her mother too, making her an orphan. The painful memories were one she could never forget.
Back then, her classmates always made mockery of her for being so pathetic and wretched. She had noone to cater for her except perhaps her wicked aunt who does nothing but punish her over little things.
There was a day when she broke a china by mistake, her aunt made marks on her body with a piece of it, leaving lots of scars, including the one on her left cheek.
Sebastian Sean had made her suffer a lot, if he hadn't killed her parents, she wouldn't have ended up with her cruel aunt who made her life so miserable.

At Charity Orphanage, Monalisa stared at the result paper in her hands, her face beaming with a smile. The exam had been conducted and once again, she scored the highest mark.
June and her friends- Kelly, Taylor and Olive marched forward, glaring at her with eyes full of jealousy and hatred. They were part of her classmates and always found a reason to bully her. They never liked her and claimed she always stole the 'spotlight' from them .
June, a quite tall and huge girl stepped forward and it made Monalisa to move backwards in fear, clutching her results close to her chest.
"You thief! You always succeed in taking everything away from us, now you're the best again. I'd get sucked in this damn orphanage while you get adopted by a rich family!" June yelled, balling her fists.
The Thompson's family always loved to visit the orphanage and also offered charity gifts to them. They even helped to build a school for the children so they could get good education. Emilia had promised to adopt the child that performed excellently in the exams.
Monalisa had always been the best student right from time and she often got bullied by June and her gangs, Olive and Taylor. He had been happy that she'd finally be leaving them, in just a few days Emilia would be here to take her away and she'd be free.
"Are you better than us? You ugly rabbit!" Taylor sneered.
"Let's teach her a lesson." Olive told the rest of her friends and she began to pull her hair while Taylor and June threw books at her.
"And what do you think you're doing?"
The three of them stopped when they heard a familiar stern voice behind them.
They slowly turned to behold a middle aged woman whose eyes were widened at them- that was Mrs Lane, one of the caretakers. Also, she was the one who picked Monalisa from the trash bin where she was abandoned by her mother and brought her to the orphanage where she works.
Mrs Lane quickly went to pick Monalisa from the floor where she was lying in pain.
"You three! Are you in your right senses!" Mrs Lane yelled at them as her eyes caught Monalisa's swollen cheeks and red face.
"We're sorry Mrs Lane." They bowed their heads.
"If I counted properly, this is the fifth time you're apologising and I'm not going to let you go scot-free this time! For the next three days, you all are cleaning the toilet and your punishment starts now." Mrs Lane declared and the girls walked out of the room.
"Lisa…." She pulled her into an embrace as she let out her tears. She has a lot of likeness for Monalisa and she was like a precious daughter to her even though she didn't get to have one before her husband died.
"Don't cry, Mrs Lane. I'm fine and I'm not crying so you shouldn't." Even though Monalisa had always been bullied she was the least affected by it and she had learnt to be strong.
"Monalisa dear, don't worry you'll soon be free from this."
