"Let's go."
Sebastian had zero interest in wasting another second on Sierra.
Raelynn didn't say another word to Sierra either.
She had a theory forming in her mind.
She was just missing a few pieces of evidence and a concrete motive.
Naturally, she wasn't going to lay her cards on the table just yet.
Sierra watched them walk away, opening her mouth to speak but failing to find the words.
She had no idea what Sebastian was planning with the university administration. She honestly hadn't expected him to step in. In this scandal, he was painted as the betrayed husband. From her perspective, he should have stayed as far away from Raelynn as possible.
Even worse.
To protect his own pride, he should have remained utterly silent.
For a powerful man to have his dignity trampled on so publicly—even if he still had some lingering feelings for Raelynn—the moment the fire raged out of control and humiliated him, any remaining affection should have turned to ash.
But now...
Sierra unconsciously clenched her fists.
What were Sebastian's true feelings for Raelynn?
Did he know something?
What exactly was his plan with the school?
Her mind was spinning out of control.
-
Raelynn didn't walk beside Sebastian.
She trailed slightly behind him, staring at his tall silhouette, her mind a tangled mess.
He stopped and looked back at her. "Why are you walking so far away?"
"Are you actually going to help me?"
She asked.
"Would you prefer I kick you while you're down?" Sebastian shot back.
Just then.
Her phone rang.
It was Cordelia.
Staring at the caller ID, Raelynn suddenly knew her answer.
She picked up.
Cordelia's voice carried a heavy sigh of resignation. "Lynnie, I just had a huge fight with Ian. I heard about what happened. The whole Hudson family knows. The fallout is massive. Ian is stubbornly insisting on protecting you, but if the wedding goes ahead as planned, our family will be severely dragged down. I'm calling to ask... could we postpone it? Not cancel it."
"Just until this blows over. Three months, tops. What do you think?"
Instinctively, Raelynn looked at Sebastian.
He was already looking at her.
Because they were sitting so close.
He must have heard the key words through the speaker.
His point had just been proven. A mocking curve lifted the corner of his lips, his dark, predatory gaze fixed relentlessly upon her.

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!...
