I am sorry for the late update.

Clarissa Evans...

You are not his wife to being with.

You were not even married to him

Than what she was?

What is she fighting for?

Mira come up to her as she looked up tears filling her eyes.

"What would you do? If all of a sudden you wake up and feel like the past ten years of your life was nothing but a lie?" She asked as another tear trail down her eyes. Those tears betrayed her.

Mira who was standing their looked down she heard what Mrs.Knight told her. She have no words that can comfort her. Is there anything that can comfort her to begin with? Is this. how it is suppose to be?

"It difficult you know it is difficult to love someone when you can't bring yourself to love your own life" She looked down closing

"I hated my life" she looked down.

"My life might be someone's dream but for me it was a nightmare. I have everything but nothing"

"My father was always busy with his work and my mother she was too busy to keep herself intact.." she chuckled.

"My brothers where there but I always feel lonely in that cold isolated house, when Sebastian came into my life I look forward to the time we spend together under that tree, I started enjoying life for once, now what?"

"Why...? Why can't you forget about him?" Mira asked painfully.

"I can" She chuckled.

"Why don't I try bashing my head somewhere and try to forget everything? Every fucking thing" Clay asked smirking while another tear rolled down her eye.

"Sometimes I wander if I can forget everything, Would I have been happy?" She asked. Mira looked down no words left her mouth.

"What are you going to do then?" Mira asked sitting beside her on the couch where she took a place.

"Nothing" She have a faraway look.

"What Cara said, him asking about you? Clarissa take a deep breath and looked at her.

"I am not going to go there just to be a second choice neither will I let the other person be the second choice. I might not like her but putting her through that is not my way. I might be selfish, self-centered but I know when to draw the line, Mira" She stand up and walked inside her room. Mira sighed and looked at the door she closed behind.

***********

Cara Knight..

She stare at the clock as it ticked. The tension was thick even breathing was becoming more like a work out. Sebastian was sitting there in the most relaxed way she ever saw him in her life. With out expression. He was doing his paperwork like that's the most normal thing to do after what he said.

30 minutes

It's only been 30 minutes since he said those words but nothing changed at all. She can cut the tension with a knife as bead of sweat rolled down her forehead even though the air conditioner is working properly.

Her eyes wander to Aria who was just staring at the door as if waiting for a disaster to walk in. Cara rubbed her head off course that will be disaster for her after all.

She sighed even that can be heard. But what worried her the most was the emotions which Sebastian is emitting.

Cold....

Yes the same cold that will make you freeze in fear or froze you. She never saw him like this. Why is he behaving like this?

You don't know anything about him Cara

Clarissa's word ring in her head. What does she know that no one knows?

"Seb.." She stopped her self or the word get stuck in her throat. He was staring at her to continue but she forget what she was trying to say.

"She might not come than what will you do?" She asked or made up.

He chuckled, Aria gasped.

"You should pray that she comes or I will make her" He smiled.

"Did you remember something from the past?" Cara asked in horror.

He did not answer just went back to his work.

This confirmed that he did. She needs to call the doctor but moving from here seems like a difficult and stifling work. Not only that she had an urge to make sure Sebastian does not take off before the time's up.

"Aria call Dr.Valentine" Cara asked her, who nod her head anything to get out of the room.

"No need, I am fine" His words stopped Aria.

"We are doing this confirm your health even if you are fine"

"No need mother" He stand up.

"It's not about need son, I have to make sure that you are alright" Cara said making sure that he clearly understands that his healthy is above anything.

"Why don't you take a breath and go home?" He said pulling his phone and called a guard for her car.

"After I make sure that you are alright" Cara snapped.

"They are here go mother and take her with you" Sebastian take a sit, staring at them.

"I don't want to force you but if that's what you want than"

"Noah" Cara yelled glaring at him.

"Mrs.Knight" the guard who came inside softly touched her shoulder.

"Don't touch me and get out I need too talk to my son" she said glaring at him. Aria was silent in all this commotion.

"Mrs. Knight, please" the guard again tried.

"Did not you hear what I said?" She asked.

"They won't mother, I removed you from that authority. No one in this office will follow your order from now on" He said coldly.

"Sebastian?" She looked at him hurt almost.

"You should have think about it before misusing your powers. Now if you will let me work" His eyes wandered to clock only 15 minutes left.

Cara turn and walked out Aria following silently. No one said another words. She feel hurt at his behavior.

Nothing was left to say anymore..

Something is not right with him. Only Steve could talk some sense into him now.

******************

Clarissa Evans..

It took sometime but she collected her thoughts and push it at the back of her mind. Her focus turn to the bouncing kid.

"Noa, do your homework?" She said sighing for the tenth time who was busy doing who knows what.

"Come on baby" she cooed her scooping her in her arms and put her on the bed with her books.

After that Noa did her homework with out any problem. She smiled looking at her daughter.

"Noa I baked some cookies" Mira opened the door, Noa jumped and run to her. She pulled her up.

Clarissa looked at the time it is almost 4 p.m.

She was having difficulty to keep up with the time.

Ding..

Mira stared at the door nervously wander who it might be, not that they have many visitors but after what happened before she have her doubts.

Noa was busy munching her cookies while she was trying to make sure she does not eat too much.

Mira walked to the door opening, her heart drop to her stomach.

"Who is it Mira?" She asked.

"Noa, baby don't" she warned her daughter who was trying to take another cookie for the fourth time. Noa giggled while running towards Mira.

"No one" Mira said glaring at the man, trying to close the door but He stopped her. Noa stopped looking at the man, He stare at her.

"Don't run while eating, Noa" She was about to scold her when her eyes landed on him. She froze. First mother now her son wonderful. She sighed.

"Mira" Mira softly pulled Noa only to be stopped by him.

"What are you doing?" She asked him sighing, who juts stare at her daughter. Noa was staring back at him.

"Mila who?" Noa asked point at him.

"Your father" he answered.

"Mira!" She yelled which jolt her back, she grabbed Noa who was tiptoeing towards her father.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing? You can't just come here and announce that you are her father after brutally pushing her away" she snapped glaring at him.

"Stay the fuck away from my daughter"

Sebastian just calmly stare at her. She glare back at him.

"Are you even listening?" She asked not getting any reply. Is he trying to get on her nerve?

She take a deep breath trying to control her anger.

"Why are you here?" She asked him directly.

He tilted his head and stare at her not even trying to hide the fact that he was flat out staring at her.

She stare back or glare back at him.

She did not know how much time she spend staring him down but now this is getting on her nerve she wanted to stay clam and analyze the situation. She take a deep breath trying to relax.

"Do I make you nervous?" He asked, she froze blinking her eyes. He take a step towards.

"If getting on my nerves is being called nervous than I am" she snapped. He chuckled.

"I am your boss, darling" He said sharply.

"Should not you be polite?"

"Coming to my house uninvited and telling my daughter you are her father? Well,Are not you the epitome of the boss?" She said sarcastically rolling her eyes.

"Listen carefully..." She started..

She could not said another words as he put his finger on his lips, shhhhh.

"I was kidding" he said. Not an ounce of humor could be found in his voice.

"What do you want?" She gritt her teeth.

"You" Sebastian just looked at her without any expression.

She stare at him slowly her lips turn into a smile and she laughed.

And laughed.

And laughed.

Till tears filled her eyes. That woman messed with her mind and now this.

"I did get the joke" He smirked at her coldly. She stopped herself but those stubborn tears still stuck at a corner of her eyes.

He chuckled.

"Why did you stop? I was enjoying it." He said devoid of emotion.

"You want me?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Do you think just because you want me I will be yours?" She glare at him

"There is price you need to pay before you can even think about something like that.. " She said coldly him.

"You want me to divorce her, Right?" He asked raising his eyebrows. She stare at him blankly.

"We are not married to begin with love " he said freezing her.

"What?" His words unnerved her.

"It's a contract. I am not married to her" It's as if his explanation explain everything.

Shock might be an understatement. Is he real? What the fuck? All the pain, heartache for a fake marriage.

"Is this some kind of fucking joke?" She snapped.

"Should I find it funny?" She grit her teeth.

"No" he still had the matter of fact tone. She take a step back until she feel the wall behind her back.

"Come with me" He said when she did not reply. He walked up to her wiping her eyes.

"No" she replied, glaring at him not showing a little bit of her emotions. After what Cara said this morning she have many questions. Was there marriage a contract too but it did not seem like that way? Questions.

Questions and questions.

Too many questions.

Questions even he cannot answer. He does not remember.

"Did it sound like a question to you?" He asked coldly.

"Is this a game?" She asked trying to see through his cold face, she can't. Something came crashing down on her. Something she was missing till now.

"You win" she said coldly.

"If you here for the game than you win" she stare at him as he was just observing her.

"I don't want to play the game anymore" she said.

"Game?" He stare at her smirking.

"Darling if you stared a game you should have the guts to continue." He said.

"But let me tell you this is not just the game because when I will start playing I will let you know" He said coldly.

He invaded her personal space almost keeping a little space. Her back against the wall. His fingers softly tracing her cheeks. She stare at him critically as if observing his moves.

"Than what do you want?" She again asked the same question. He softly draw pattern on her cheeks.

"YOU " he whispered a shiver run down her spine.

"Why are you so obsessed with getting me?" She asked, her hand softly touched his hand. His eyes which was on her cheeks snapped to her hand. She froze.

"You remember something. Don't you?" She asked above a whisper only for him to hear. He smirked chuckling coldly.

"Why do you think I remember something?" He questioned back making her smirk.

"Oh! So you did. But what exactly?" She raised her eyebrow mockingly. She observed him as she let her hand fall from his hand.

"Why do you think so?" He asked curiously.

She smiled looking in his eyes, her face soften. His eyes fall on her lips as it curves into a smiled he recognize, "Because its obvious"

"What is?" Sebastian asked almost mesmerized by her smile. Which dropped at his question, she closed her eyes holding onto her emotions.

"You hate me" she said not a question but a statement, his finger stopped only for a second but enough for her to know.

"You think I will be this close to you because I hate you?" he asked coldly.

"Hatred.. hatred can make you do anything, love" She said coldly a bitter truth, hatred can destroyed you as well as the one you hate. He stare at her in her eyes.

"I love you" his eyes looking at her straight her eyes.

"Prove it" she said.

"How?" His finger caresses her lips.

"Kiss me" she stare at him challenging him as well as asking him something. Something he did not get but he did kiss her.

His lips softly pressed against her. His soft lips against her in a soft loving kiss. She froze her heart skip a beat. Her heart break, tears filled her eyes she hold back but one betrayed.

He feel something wet on in his cheeks. His eyes widen as he looked at her heart broke expression.

"Did I hurt you?" He asked not sure what he did but something pierced him at her expression.

"You did" her voice soft not the voice he heard a few moments ago tears fall from her she wiped them but they where not stopping.

"You just did, you proved me how much you love me, while breaking my heart in the process" she said chuckling but those tears said otherwise.

She take a deep breath

"You asked me to come with you right?" she sighed wiping her tears. He stayed silent.

"The only way I will come with you if you..." she stare at him.

"If I what?" He asked.

"Marry me" she said coldly.

"Marry me officially and I will come with you"

"A good offer if I might say so myself. I am usually not this generous" she chuckled.

"Think about it" she smirked holding onto her emotions.

"Now see yourself out" she said her eyes again masking every emotions.

"Sebastian Noah Knight you can take all your time" she stare at him.

I was going to give up and let it be Noah. But you did what you should not have.

Let's play this game.

Let's see who can break whom faster.
