Raelynn could hear the raw emotion in her voice.
It made her heart ache even more.
Evelyn was overwhelmed with joy and relief, her heart swelling just from speaking to Raelynn.
Because of that.
She spoke to Sierra, the one who had bravely orchestrated the moment, with even more affection. "Sierra, thank you so much."
Sierra scratched her head shyly. "This is what I wanted most too. We're family, after all."
Raelynn lowered her eyes.
She wondered what her future held.
It still felt like a blank slate.
Not far away.
Assistant Quinn had just picked up the medication. He saw Sebastian staring intently in one direction across the lobby and followed his gaze, eventually spotting Raelynn and Sierra in the crowd.
He asked respectfully, "Boss, do you want to go over and speak with Ms. Ortiz?"
Sebastian's expression was unreadable.
His gaze was endlessly deep.
He watched Raelynn and Sierra for a long moment.
They seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, and Sierra's smile grew sweeter.
After a while.
Sebastian turned his wheelchair around. "No."
Quinn could never guess his boss's thoughts and didn't dare pry.
It wasn't until Sebastian reached the garden outside that he received a call from Leo Flynn.
Leo dropped his usual playful tone. "Seb, I've been digging into what you asked for. I noticed some details, and I'm sending you the critical footage now."
There was no footage of her interacting with Seraphina face-to-face.
But based on the timestamps and camera locations, Sebastian deduced that their paths must have crossed at a blind spot for less than two minutes. Right after that tiny window, Seraphina arrived at the main hall with the invitation.
Given the timeline, they couldn't have had a conversation.
But...
They definitely crossed paths for a brief moment.
A dark, dangerous glint flashed in Sebastian's eyes.
He stared at the screen for a long time in silence, lost in thought.
Leo, itching with curiosity, finally asked, "Did you find something?"
Sebastian locked the iPad, his gaze deep. "Nothing. Good work. Keep this quiet for now, and don't breathe a word of it to Julian."
After hesitating, Leo couldn't hold back his burning curiosity and chose his words carefully. "Seb, Julian... he probably has a big problem with you right now. Given his guilt over the past, I bet he's going to push hard for Ian and Raelynn to get together. What... what are you going to do?"

I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
