Chapter 42

After hours of relentless questioning, Stephanie had spilled more than she meant to.

She was completely drained. It took everything in her to stay upright, but eventually, exhaustion won. She

collapsed onto Sebastian's lap, curling up and falling asleep in an instant.

The harsh lighting made everything feel unreal, but Sebastian's touch was gentle as he brushed a strand of hair

from her face, tucking it behind her ear.

He picked her up effortlessly, carrying her to the bedroom without a word.

When he returned to the living room, Elliot was waiting.

Elliot glanced around the modest apartment and asked, “You bringing her back to Whispering Bay tonight?”

Long Harbor City was massive, and the Shallow Bay Area held sof the city’s most expensive oceanfront

properties.

Whispering Bay, the most exclusive spot in the area, was quiet and secluded. Years ago, a bunch of wealthy

families had fought over the land when it becavailable.

But Sebastian had managed to secure it after Stephanie casually mentioned how much she liked the place

during a scenic

tour.

The rich businessmen who'd wanted to turn it into another luxury development had been outbid. Sebastian had

designed it just for her.

He'd planned to gift it to her for her coming-of-age ceremony, but after the Giovanni mess, when Stephanie

disappeared, everything had fallen apart.

Sebastian stepped out onto the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a couple of drags.

He waved his hand dismissively. “She need rest tonight. Let her sleep here. Bring up my luggage.”

Elliot paused, looking around the small space when he realized Sebastian was staying the night.

“You're staying here?” Elliot asked, almost as if he had to check again.

Sebastian shot him a cold look. “Is that a problem?”

Elliot quickly shook his head. “No, no problem. I'll get it right away.”

In his mind, he couldn't help thinking, ‘As long as it’s for Stephanie, Sebastian will put up with anything!

Sebastian was willing to settle for a tiny apartment just so he wouldn't disturb her.

Elliot went off to grab the luggage, and once he was gone, Sebastian lingered.

He slowly checked every corner of the apartment, making sure there wasn’t any sign of another man living here

with her.

After two years of worry, his heart finally felt at ease.

He spotted a new pink bath towel-clearly meant for Stephanie-and smiled, just a little.

Stephanie was barely awake when the urgent need to use the bathroom pulled her from sleep.

She shuffled toward the door, but the moment she stepped out of her room, she froze.

Sebastian was standing there, his waist wrapped in a pink bath towel.

She blinked in surprise, and for a second, the situation seemed almost funny.

Then the doorbell rang-loud, insistent, cutting through the quiet.

Instinctively, Stephanie glanced at the door, then back at Sebastian.

Sebastian frowned. “Someone’s looking for you at this hour?”

The wall clock read five in the morning-just shy of dawn.

Outside, Chris was ringing the doorbell like it was his job.
