**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession Series 370**
**Chapter 370: Jane**
Lillian’s grip on Sebastian’s hand was firm, her worry evident as she spoke, her voice trembling slightly. “If you truly understand the gravity of your actions, then I implore you, for my sake, don’t ever put me through this kind of worry again.”
Sebastian’s heart swelled at her words, and he offered her a reassuring smile, his gaze steady and sincere. “You have my promise. I won’t let you down again. This lapse in judgment was entirely my fault.” The unexpected revelation of Triny’s manipulative actions had shaken him to his core, leaving him feeling vulnerable and exposed in ways he had never anticipated.
As Lillian nestled closer to him, she wrapped her arms around his solid waist, seeking refuge in his presence. “It’s okay,” she whispered softly, her breath warm against his skin, sending a wave of comfort through him. “As long as you’re here with me, alive and safe, nothing else truly matters. Just promise me you’ll take care of yourself.”
Sebastian drew her even closer, his eyes radiating warmth and affection as he spoke. “With such an extraordinary fiancée by my side, I have no choice but to rise to the occasion.”
Outside, the rain hammered against the window, relentless and unyielding, but within the sanctuary of their room, a cocoon of warmth enveloped them, shielding them from the chaos that raged beyond their walls.
Meanwhile, at the Lindt residence—
In a dimly lit bedroom, Triny lay propped against the headboard, her eyes fixed vacantly on the rain-soaked landscape outside the window. Time seemed to lose all meaning as she lingered in this state of despair, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts.
The events of the previous night replayed in her mind like a haunting melody, each replay more painful than the last.
How could he have been so unyielding, so cruel? The image of him inflicting pain upon himself, without a hint of hesitation, lingered like a dark cloud in her thoughts, the cold determination etched in his eyes a stark reminder of her own shortcomings.
Was she truly so unbearable to him? So worthless that he wouldn’t even consider granting her a sliver of hope or compassion?
The door creaked open, breaking the spell of her spiraling thoughts.
Jane burst into the room, her face adorned with an exuberant grin that seemed almost out of place. “I came to check on you!”
Triny didn’t even bother to turn her head, her voice flat and devoid of warmth. “Just leave. I don’t want to see your face right now.”
Jane’s pout was exaggerated, but her smile remained unwavering, a testament to her relentless optimism. “Oh, come on! Don’t be like that. If you shut me out, I’ll be bored to tears. Sure, yesterday didn’t go as planned, but doesn’t Dracovia have a saying? ‘Failure is the mother of success’? A few more missteps, and you’re bound to hit the jackpot.”
