Begging Lucian Langford for a bailout...
He would rather die.
Sebastian closed his eyes and took a ragged breath.
"Mom, just give me some time to think."
Seeing the torment etched across her son's face, Victoria didn't push him any further.
A crushing wave of regret washed over him.
He hated himself for throwing Seraphina away.
If he had just honored his original engagement to Seraphina, would any of this be happening?
Seraphina would never have faked a pregnancy. She would never have blackmailed him into marriage. She would never have cornered him into financial ruin.
But dwelling on the past was completely useless now.
She was married to Lucian.
And Sebastian no longer even had the right to speak to her.
He clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned entirely white.
At the Simmons Estate.
Sienna strolled through the front doors.
One look at the smug confidence radiating from her daughter's face told Zelda Gates that the meeting had gone exactly as planned.
"So? What did Sebastian say?"
Sienna smirked. "He said he needs to think about it."
"Think about it?"
Zelda frowned in confusion. "What's left to think about? He marries you, you bail out his company. It's a win-win situation."
Sienna chuckled softly. "Mom, relax. The fact that he didn't throw the offer back in my face means he's seriously considering it. And as long as he's considering it, I have him on the hook."
Zelda pondered this and nodded slowly, though a thread of anxiety remained.
"But what if he ultimately refuses?"
Sienna's smile was icy.
