Riley felt her ears tingling. “Don’t breathe right on my ear. It tickles.”

Sebastian smirked. “How about this?” He gently took her earlobe between his lips.

A shiver ran through her. Her ears were always sensitive–and now this?

“Don’t…” she whispered, voice barely there.

“I want you, Riley,” Sebastian husked, his voice thick with .desire.

He sucked gently on her earlobe, then kissed his way down her neck, slow and teasing.

“Wait, I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet,” she said.

“If you really didn’t want this, you could push me away,” he teased. “So you want it too, right?”

Her cheeks flamed. “Fine, yes… but let me clean

up

first.”

“Then let’s shower. Together,” he said, scooping her up and

heading toward the bathroom.

Before she could react, he carefully set her down in the bathroom, unbuttoning his shirt while kissing her.

Their clothes dropped to the floor, one after another.

His kisses got rougher–no more teasing, just need.

She couldn’t taste anything but him.

His lips moved from her mouth, slowly kissing down her neck and collarbone, finally stopping at her heart.

“Riley,” he breathed, “I’m yours. All of me.”

He kissed her like she was sacred. Like she was his goddess.

For her, he would give everything he had, asking only that she love him more.

If the gods ever showed mercy, he prayed his goddess would only show it to him.

They made love in the shower, then tumbled into bed for three more rounds.

If Riley hadn’t begged for sleep, Sebastian would’ve kept going until dawn.

satisfied.

A few days later, the court date for Amanda and Claire came.

Riley had to testify as the victim.

Outside the courthouse, Riley ran into Bryce.

His arm was wrapped in bandages. His face shifted slightly when he spotted Riley and Sebastian.

“Riley, can’t you just let my mom and Claire go?” Bryce couldn’t help asking.

Riley’s expression turned cold. “Did they ever think about letting me go back then? No? Then why should I?”

“But my mom’s old. If she goes to prison, she won’t survive it. And Claire–this will ruin her future.” Bryce said.

“Say it to the judge, not me,” Riley said without mercy.

“Is this because you hate me?” Bryce asked.

“Hate?” Riley said coldly. “Bryce, you’re not even worth that.”

With that, she took Sebastian’s hand and walked past Bryce

“But…” Bryce tried to reach out and stop Riley, but found himself staring into Sebastian’s eyes.

“Bryce, you looking to get your other arm broken?” Sebastian said.

Bryce’s body went rigid instantly, not daring to take another step forward.

Only after Riley and Sebastian had disappeared entirely from sight did he finally let out a shaky breath.

Not even worth her hate anymore?

The trial went ahead without any major twists.

Despite Amanda and Claire’s desperate attempts to defend themselves, the evidence was clear–they had hired those two men to release knockout gas in the hotel room, planning to have them assault Riley so they could use the scandal to strip her of everything in the divorce.

The lawyer Bryce hired put up a fight, but it was useless.

In the end, Amanda and Claire were imprisoned for three years.

49ers.

When they heard the verdict, they both broke down sobbing hysterically.

Amanda screamed at Riley, “Riley, let’s settle this, please! Whatever you want, just name it–Bryce can make it happen! I’m too old to go to prison!”

“Please, Riley, forgive me,” Claire wailed, “It was all Bella’s idea! She manipulated me and Mom into doing this—we never would have hurt you otherwise!”

“That’s right, it was Bella!” Amanda spat with hatred. “That woman is pure evil!”

Looking at them, Riley felt nothing but disgust.

Back then, they had adored Bella, begging Bryce to marry her. Now they were throwing her under the bus without hesitation.

“I won’t settle with you,” Riley said coldly.

Amanda and Claire panicked at her words.

Amanda became even more desperate.

“Don’t you love my son? I’ll make Bryce get back together with you! He’s my son–he’ll listen to me! Just agree to settle, and I’ll make him remarry you!” 576

Riley didn’t even glance at them.

“The man I love is my boyfriend, Sebastian,” she declared. “As for Bryce? Whoever wants him can have him!”

She reached out and grabbed Sebastian’s tie, pulling him toward her.

He leaned in without hesitation–one arm sliding around her waist, the other lifting her chin–then kissed her.

Slow. Deep. Possessive.

Amanda and Claire stared in stunned silence.

When Sebastian finally pulled back, the warmth in his eyes vanished.

He turned to the Murphys, his gaze sharp as ice.
