Zara sat on the bed and clicked her phone to call Paula happily when something caught her attention.
She saw an email notification and opened to see Sebastian's message for her. She dropped her phone after going through the mail. How did he know about her details? He even knew about her father's contact details.
She flustered a bit before picking up her phone and continued reading
'You think you can hide from me forever Ms. Jones. If you don't want your family to know about me, no! about us, you better call me as soon as you see this text. You can choose to ignore my warning but remember I have your father contact number with me, you can except my call anytime. I am giving you one day - Your Bash'
Blood drained from her face and she called Paula immediately with a pale face.
"What have you done baby? Why did uncle call me? Thank god auntie's text saved us"
Paula spoke hurriedly as soon as she picked the call.
"Darling I am in trouble"
Zara told her about Sebastian's text with her trembling voice.
"Are you sure Selina didn't reveal your identity?"
Paula asked suspiciously.
"I trust her, and tell me what should I do?"
Zara clutched her messy hair and fought back her tears
"Call him" said Paula seriously.
"What??"
"You heard me, call him and clear everything once and for all"
Paula didn't want Zara to live in fear all the time. It's better to have a talk with Sebastian so she encouraged Zara.
Zara took her friend's advice and decided to call Sebastian after hanging up the call. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for five minutes preparing herself for the conversation with Sebastian.
She dialed his number which he added at the end of the email. She waited for fifteen seconds before he answered the call.
"That soon, missed me"
Sebastian's sexy voice came from the other end giving shivers to her spine. He leaned on the balcony railings lazily and watched the sky with a smirk on his face. He never expected to receive call from Zara soon.
He thought he should at least wait a day or two to get her response. But she called in hours, so she is scared of her dad, but why? After talking with his mother he took a shower and wanted to get ready for the company when his phone buzzed.
Zara felt butterflies in her tummy when she heard his husky voice. She cleared her throat before saying her prepared speech
"Wh..what do you mean by your email? And how did you know about me?"
Zara held the teddy bear gifted by Paula and waited for his answer anxiously.
"I want to see you" blurred Sebastian out of nowhere.
"I told you I am engaged"
Zara bit her lip and lied to him again. Is he insane? She already told him that she was engaged, why did he still contact her? Is he into married woman or what?
"Provoke me again, you are doomed"
Zara gulped hearing his cold voice. He is pissed. She knew it
"Please Bash, let me go"
She changed her hard tone and spoke softly hoping to get a positive response. She doesn't know how to convince him.
"Meet me once, we can talk before parting our ways"
An evil smirk played on Sebastian's lips. Let her go, dream on.
"Really!! Can I trust you?"
She will definitely meet him if he is willing to let her go. She only wanted him to give up on her.
"I just wanted to know the reason for your rejection. Am I asking too much?"
Zara's heart melted at his pleading pitiful voice. Of course he deserves to know the reason.
"Can I say it now?"
She can tell him the reason right now if he's willing to move on. She didn't need to meet him.
"No! I have to talk to you about something else and you never knew what happened to me after that night. I want to have a peaceful talk with you for one last time"
Sebastian tried to convince her. How can he ends things with her through a phone call? Bullshit! He wanted to see her and touch her so badly. He missed her so much. Zara felt he is reasonable so she agreed.
"You shouldn't go back on your words"
She didn't want to blindly trust him. So she spoke in a cautious tone.
"If your reason for rejection seemed reasonable then I will think about it"
Sebastian couldn't help but tease her when he heard her coward voice. He stifled his laugh and walked into his room opening wine cabinet and poured himself a glass.
"What do you mean? What if it is unreasonable?"
Zara frowned and kneeled on the bed. What the hell is he talking about? She almost believed him when he said he'll let her go.
"Let me think…..Yes! if it is unreasonable then I will never let you go"
Sebastian took a sip and closed his eyes savouring the taste. He is addicted to wine and collects lot of wine bottles. He likes the colour and taste of it. It's so addicting just like her.
"You are insane. You promised to let me go"
Zara shouted angrily throwing the teddy bear on the ground but soon picked it up hugging it to her chest.
"You made me insane, come to a place next week. I will text you the details. If I didn't see you there by the agreed time, wait for my visit to Mr. Andrew Jones" said Sebastian gulping the whole glass of wine.
"Bash.."
Sebastian heard her sobs and sighed. He didn't want to be hard on her but she's not making things easy either.
"OK! I'll meet you but promise me one thing"
Zara wiped her tears and asked seriously
"What is it?"
"Don't ever contact my family? I'll come as I promised and I want you to promise me in return. You shouldn't go back on your words"
Sebastian didn't find anything unreasonable so he promised her before warning her.
"If you miss our appointment. I'll definitely break my promise"
"How can you order me like you are my boss? Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Zara dropped her head sadly. She hated his dominance. Is he the man she met few years ago? That man was so handsome and lovely but the man she was talking to right now was a total control freak.
"No more discussions, get ready" said Sebastian before hanging up the call.
Zara threw her phone on the bed and cursed Sebastian million times. Is he the one she devoted herself for years? Beast!!!!!
