CHAPTER 25. “ARE YOU NAKED?”
“You seen in need a reminder, mother, that I am the one who runs this family and its affairs, not you. I don’t have to discuss my decisions or the solutions 1 choose for my son’s problems. What I decide to do or with whom I decide to do it is my business and mine alone. So I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself, especially when they are so terribly wrong
Coraline gasped at her son’s coldness. But Sebastian walked over to lubella and kissed her on the lips,
“Go with Nicholas, I’ll be with you in a moment.
Isabella nodded faster than she expected and followed the mail. Sebastian and his mother were left face to face.
“How dare you say that in front of that woman?! I am your
You are
motherf
but you have no right to offend her and much less to medille in my affairs, mother. Why do you insist on Ines? I’ve already told you that i will never see her as anything more than my partner
Coraline turned around angrily.
“That’s because you don’t give yourself time to get to know her, you’ve spent almost seven years alone and all because of that woman, Sebastian How long will you keep suffering for her! How long will Amelia Alcantara’s memory stay among us?!”
Sebastian’s body tensed at the mention of her name.
“Son, you’re letting your life slowly waste away and you’re not paying attention on the women who are truly worth it, like Inesa!”
“No, no mam, Nicholas needs a mother, I know, but not a stranger we don’t know who came out of nowhere” Coraline took her son’s hands. “Sebastian, Inesa has been in love with you for years, she’s a good girl, from a good family, her father and yours are friends, what more do you
Sebastian sighed and shook his head, not surprised by the situation, it was something he knew would happen sooner or later,
“I’ve never said Inesa isn’t suitable, but I don’t see her as a woman, she’s simply the daughter of my father’s p then I’ll give it to you. I have no desire to fuck Inesa, she doesn’t turn me on,”
Coraline’s lips opened and closed; she would never get used to her son’s

partner, and if you want a clear answer,
“And I’m sorry, mom, but if I’m going to marry to save the company, and abo have a child to save another, at least let the woman who becomes both things be someone I like and… I like Isabella and abso
“Enough” Coraline stopped him with a gesture of her hand. “There’s no need to be so explicit, Sebastian. Remember that I am your mother and t
don’t need
“You don’t need? Well if you have the courage to meddle in my affairs, then 111 be honest, so stop bothering Isabella and get used to it.” He took a few steps back. “She will be with me for a year and will be part of this family, mom. Remember, she will be the mother of your second grandchild.”
After saying this, Sebastian turned and went up the stairs, leaving Coraline alone with her dissatisfaction. However, she was not willing to give up so easily, she would find a way to get Isabella out of their lives.
Meanwhile, in Nicholas’s room, the little boy lit up the room with his smile upon seeing Isabella.
“Isabella!” he exclaimed, running towards her and hugging her waist.
“How are you, my favorite boy?” she said, crouching down and cradling his face tenderly. “Did you miss me?”
“Yes! A lot!” the little boy replied. “But now I’m very happy. Grandpa told me that you and dad will get married, that we will be a family.”
Isabella nodded, ber hear filled with a mixture of joy and responsibility
“That’s right, we will be a family.”
Nicholas wrapped his arms around her neck and then kissed her on the cheek. Isabella felt overwhelmed with emotion, unable to resist hugging him tightly. It was strange, but she felt an inexplicable connection with Nicholas, as if they were bound by something much stronger.
“Now I won’t be alone anymore, now I have a mom. The little boy was ecstatic. He pulled away and took lubella’s hand, leading her to the beid

Chapter 24
“And now that you’re my mom, you have to read me a story. All moms do that”
Isabella followed him, laughing, moved by his innocence and enthusiasm.
“Okay, then let’s read a story. What would you like!”
Nicholas settled into bed and pointed to the small library.
“I want one about dragons, mommy.”
Isabella’s heart skipped a beat when she heard him call her “mommy.” She took the book and sat next to him, feeling Nicholas hug her gently, for the first time feeling complete.
“Once upon a time.
As Isabella began to read, she didn’t notice that Sebastian was watching them from the door. And he didn’t realize the genuine smile that adorned his lips, a reflection of the happiness he felt seeing the scene before him.
Isabella looked at Nicholas, who had fallen asleep, the tranquility of his face made her think of her own son, wondering if he would sleep the same peaceful way. A wave of hope flooded her heart as she remembered the investigator’s willingness to take her case.
“Soon we will be together, my little one,” she thought “Soon, mommy will find you?
Tenderly, she leaned down to kiss Nicholas’s hair. After making sure he was still sleeping peacefully, Isabella left the room, closing the door carefully so as not to wake him. Now, her mission was to find Sebastian. She wasn’t sure if they would spend the night there or if they would return to the mansion. As she went down the stairs, she encountered the housekeeper.
“Hello, um have you seen Sebastian?” she asked
ed with some urgency.
“Master Sebastian is in the pool area. He always swims at night, the housekeeper replied in a calm voice.
“The pool!”
“Yes, just follow the main garden path”
“Alright, thank you,” she said before turning to follow the given directions. She followed the main garden path; the pool wasn’t far away. Her heart was beating with anticipation of what was to come, possibly that night they would have to sleep together again.
Isabella approached the pool area nervously, her eyes scanning the place and not seeing Sebastian anywhere. Suddenly a figure emerged from the water, making Isabella scream in fright.
She stepped back a bit but quickly saw the tall and athletic body of Sebastian. “You g
gave me a fright,” the complained, trying to calm down.
Drops of water fell from Sebastian’s dark hair as he just looked at her in silence, the drops sliding down his golden skin, following his chest and his tense and powerful abs. It was impossible for Isabella to look away, she was mesmerized, admiring what she thought was a Greek god,
Her eyes continued to travel down the man’s figure, down to his V–line, and a bit further, and suddenly her mouth opened in astonishment
Even her brain went blank at that moment.
Holy God, you you. are you naked!
