Remorse After Breaking Up Chapter 2

Chapter 2

As Sebastian undressed Lillian, she shut her eyes in despair. She was in pain and couldn’t fight back at all.

But the worst that she’d expected did not come to pass. Instead, Sebastian took out a needle and pressed it into one of Lillian’s meridians. He then repeated the process with seven more needles all over her body. 1 Sebastian then pressed his hand on Lillian’s chest. The needles began vibrating in her skin, releasing a faint glow in the air.

This went on for about five minutes. Sebastian looked exhausted by the time it was over.

“Alright. Put your clothes back on,” Sebastian said as he pulled out all the needles.

Lillian had been anticipating death. Her eyes jolted open upon hearing Sebastian’s words. Her chest wasn’t hurting anymore nor was it the least bit uncomfortable. 1 “Did you save me?” Lillian asked in disbelief.

“Isn’t that obvious? Who else is there in this room besides you and me?” Sebastian rolled his eyes.

Lillian was stunned. She knew just how severe her heart condition was.

Even Ravenview City’s best doctor had only managed to extend her life. The doctor had warned that Lillian might very well die the next time her heart condition flared up again.

Yet, Sebastian had cured her heart with just several needles in a matter of minutes. What kind of otherworldly medical skill did he possess?

Lillian quickly got dressed and said to Sebastian, “Don’t think I’ll be grateful to you just because you saved my life.”

“Oh, I’m not holding my hopes out for that. I’m just glad you won’t hold a grudge against me.”

Lillian grew silent. How could she not hold a grudge against Sebastian when he’d been the one who took her virginity?

But she did come to him first. Plus, Sebastian had just saved her from death’s door. What right did she have to still hold a grudge?

“You can take the money as my medical fees, then. We’re even from now on,” Lillian said and prepared to leave.

“Stand right there!” Sebastian called out. “Isn’t this money supposed to be for my services in bed? When did it become your medical fees?”

Lillian was incredibly embarrassed. She’d only given Sebastian the ten thousand dollars to console herself and to warn him against seeking her out again.

“I’ll transfer the rest to you, then. I don’t have any more cash right now.”

“I just want cash. Who knows if you’ll try and scam me later?”

“Then I’ll go withdraw some right now and give it to you,” Lillian said.

“No way. Where will I go to find you if you run off after leaving?”

Sebastian snorted.

“Then why don’t you just come with me to the bank?” Lillian exclaimed angrily.

“That won’t do, either. What if you deny this ever happened? We don’t have anything in black and white yet. I wouldn’t be able to defend myself, especially if you sabotage me after.”

“What do you propose, then?” Lillian was frustrated now.

Sebastian gave it some thought before saying, “Why don’t you have someone bring the money over?”

“No!” It was Lillian’s turn to refuse now. She couldn’t let a single soul know she’d spent the night at a hotel with a man.

“Then that leaves us the final option.” Sebastian smiled peculiarly as he gazed at Lillian.

“What is it?”

“Since I serviced you last night, it’s your turn to service me. I’ll let you off once I’m satisfied.” Sebastian grinned.

“You…” Lillian trembled in anger as she pointed a finger at Sebastian.

In the end, she let her hand fall and closed her eyes, as if giving him permission to do as he pleased.

Sebastian held back the urge to take Lillian right then and there.”

Hey, lady. You should be the one servicing me, not the other way around.”

Lillian grew even angrier. She exclaimed, “Just do it if you want to!

Lillian was from the Smith family, the wealthiest family in Ravenview City. It was already difficult for her knowing she’d lost her virginity. No way was she going to voluntarily service Sebastian now.

“I’ve lost my interest now with how pissy you are. Whatever. I’m going to find my fiancée,” Sebastian said lazily after yawning.

“How does a bastard like you have a fiancée? What woman in their right mind would want to marry you?” Lillian scoffed.

“Oh? My fiancée is Maria Lisbon from the Lisbon family,”

Sebastian said gleefully.

Lillian clicked her tongue. “How would someone like her set her sights on you? Her family is pretty influential here in Ravenview too. Can’t you lie any better?”

Lillian naturally didn’t believe Sebastian at all. Though the Lisbon family was lesser than the Smiths here in Ravenview City, they were still considered upper-class.

If Maria were to marry, she’d go for a proper match instead of a bastard like Sebastian here.

“Don’t believe me? Too bad. You can leave now. You won’t be able to if my desires flare up again,” Sebastian said.

Lillian immediately ran out of the room, a sight which Sebastian found funny.

He chuckled silently as he held the cash in hand.

Sebastian was known as the Supreme One, a man worth billions and Phoenix Corporation’s CEO.

Being a prodigy of medical skills himself, Dragotha’s prodigal healer Ezekiel Monas was nothing more than Sebastian’s least powerful disciple.

Even the head of Drake’s Den, the strongest martial arts clan, was only Sebastian’s informal disciple.

Yet, here Sebastian was, being mistaken for a gigolo.

“Forget it. My fiancée’s still waiting for me,” Sebastian said to himself. He stretched before putting on his clothes.

His phone rang just then. When he answered, a voice said with utmost respect from the other end, “Supreme One, I’ve arrived at your hotel and am ready for any instructions.”

“You’re Ravenview City’s branch’s manager?” Sebastian asked with uncertainty.

Phoenix Corporation had branches in most metropolises with their own managers. Sebastian didn’t remember them individually anymore.

“Yes, sir. I’ve received word of your progress from the headquarters, so I’ve personally come to welcome you,” the man answered.

“I’ll be right there,” Sebastian replied flatly.

A middle-aged, besuited man hung up the call on his phone just then outside the hotel’s entrance. This was none other than Phoenix Corporation Ravenview branch’s manager, Casper Jones.

Casper made a gesture. A dozen or so Rolls Royces swiftly drove over in a neat row.

Casper stood there humbly even as he was the most powerful person in Phoenix Corporation’s Ravenview branch. It was all because he was about to welcome an incredibly important person.

Lillian walked out just then. Tired as she may be, her beauty was still startling.

She was shocked by who she saw outside the hotel. Wasn’t this Casper Jones, Phoenix Corporation’s Ravenview branch manager?

What was he doing here?

Though the Smiths were the most influential family here in Ravenview City, they still greatly respected Phoenix Corporation. It was the world’s most powerful company, after all.

Lillian didn’t expect to see Casper seemingly waiting for someone, though. What kind of person was worth his attention when he was already so powerful? Was someone from Phoenix Corporation’s top management here?

“The hotel has been closed down. Please leave as soon as possible, “a bodyguard said to Lillian.

“Who are you waiting for, Mr. Jones?” Lillian asked Casper.

“Oh, it’s you, Ms. Smith. Apologies, but I’m afraid I can’t tell you who I’m waiting for,” Casper said kindly.

Lillian knowingly left. She was feeling terrible after having her virginity taken away and was in no mood to peer at whoever Casper was waiting for.

Just then, Sebastian came out of the hotel in his cheap clothes.

“That bastard again?” Lillian ground out before hurrying over to the parking lot.

Her phone rang just then. When she saw that it was her mother, she quickly picked up.

“Where have you been all night, Lillian?”

“I slept over at my friend’s place,” Lillian lied. She couldn’t possibly come clean about sleeping with a stranger.

“Hurry home, then. Grandpa can’t hold on much longer!”

“What?” Lillian was shocked. “I’m on my way!”

But she soon witnessed something she’d never forget.

Casper and dozens of his men knelt before Sebastian. “Supreme One!”

Everyone greeted him with the utmost respect because they knew that Sebastian was a near god-like man, as ordinary as he may seem.

“You can rise now. Drop me off at the Lisbons’ residence,”

Sebastian said.

“Thank you, Supreme One. Please, after you,” Casper said, gesturing at the car in the middle of the convoy. Casper himself got into the driver’s seat.

Six Rolls Royces escorted the one Sebastian and Casper were in as they left, astounding the onlookers.

“You can stop here,” Sebastian called out just before they reached the Lisbon residence.

Though he was engaged to Maria Lisbon, he still needed to get to know her better first. Going to see her alone was the best option to do that.
