Padgett Eve

We currently made our way to the hotel as Sebestian said. Sebestian held my hand and was going through some documents in his laptop, while I was busy looking out of the window, admiring the beauty of Paris and all the people. Paris was indeed beautiful, the weather was a bit chilly making me regret to not keep an over coat with me, but I could endure it for a bit. I was happy to be in Paris that I didn't bother to check the phone Sebestian gave me. It wasn't my old phone, he said he wanted to gift me something new though he had all of my data in the new phone, which made me a bit hopeful as I had Cole's number.

It did make me sad to leave Sebestian but I knew better. I had to, I couldn't afford to be with him. All my thoughts stopped as we reached the hotel, it was great, it had a French name which was difficult to pronounce but when said, sounded good. Sebestian walked inside with my hands in his. The moment Sebestian stepped inside with me, everybody kind of froze, they were obviously scared of him, but still some women managed to pull a glare to me making me try to hide myself behind Sebestian's broad back, but Sebestian just held my hand a bit tighter and ran his thumb across the back of my hand, comforting me. We were soon greeted by a middle-aged man.

"Good Evening, Mr.Knight." He said slightly bowing. He spoke a bit funny, I believe it was because of his accent. Sebestian just nodded at him, coldly like he always does and walked towards the lift. The man hurriedly followed us and entered the lift with us. The lift thankfully was quite and not crowded, unlike the ground floor. The lift was silent until the manager decoded to break it. He said something in French which I completely failed to understand, but Sebestian didn't as he fluently carried on a conversation with him. All this talking in French just made me uncomfortable and curious, whatever they were talking about seemed serious enough.

Thankfully after the lift came to a stop, they stopped talking. It was really wierd.

"This way, Mrs. Knight." The manager said pointing his hands towards the left, but Sebestian already knew it. The manager walked behind me and Sebestian walked infront of me with his hands holding mine. We stopped infront of the beautiful chocolate brown double doors. The manager opened them and held it for me and Sebestian to enter, I silently thanked him for his kindness while Sebestian just walked inside, dragging me with him. As I stepped inside I took in the view of the penthouse. It was huge and was beautiful and classy. The whole penthouse was in a color of white and biege which were both a bit dark, the dimly lit golden lights just added beauty to it. It was nice being outside of the mansion, and see something else except the black walls of the masion.

"You like it?" He asked when he caught me looking around. I eagerly nodded my head making him chuckle lightly. He then again dragged me, something really needs to stop doing, to the double door slightly smaller than the ones at the entrance. It was a bedroom, the master bedroom. I was tired again, I really don't know why, because I literally did nothing but sleep through most of the flight, it was confusing but the tiredness didn't really allow me to think firther in this matter. I headed to the bed as Sebestian headed towards the washroom, I suppose. I dropped myself on the mattress and began closing my eyes, when a voce interrupted me.

"Come on, Padgett. Change first then you can go to sleep." It was Sebestian he told me like a parent, and I just hummed in response, still not moving. I then heard the door close, thinking he was gone, I just made myself more comfortable. I was just about to sleep when I was pulled up, my eyes wide open and I came face to face with Sebestian. He was sitting infront of me.

"Stretch your hands up." He said making me wonder what exactly he wanted to do. I did as I told and Sebestian started removing pulling my dress upwards, I immediately pulled my hands, down stopping his from going any further. He just looked at me and said, "Stretch your hands." He sounded a bit angry, and I hesitantly did what he told me. As I was just left in my undergarments infront of Sebestian, he slid a top on my upper body. He then later slipped me into my shorts, it was my night suit. I tried to ignore how these actions made my heart melt. I gave him a small and genuine smile and said 'thank you', he then gently laid me down again, he also joined me layer with nothing but his boxers. The sheets and Sebestian were very warm, making me all cozy. I hand my head on his chest and my hands on his chest while he had his hands wrapped around my waist. I let out a deep breath and closed my eyes, letting sleep engulf me.

I opened my eyes hearing something, or someone to be more precise. I opened my eyes and looked to my side to see Sebestian murmuring something in his sleep. His forehead had bead of sweats, his chest was going up and down justifying his heavy breathings. I couldn't comprehend his whispers but after sometime, I did.

"No mom....... don't..... don't do that to.... my mom." He said.

His dream was not my priority right now, it was him, he clearly wasn't fine. I carefully stretched my arms towards him, my hands cupping his face my, my thumbs were caressing his cheeks as I called out his name, hoping he would wake up. I called out several times, but he wasn't waking up, he continued whispering. After finally trying for so many times he got up.

His eyes shot open and he stood up. His hair was in a messy condition still making him look good. He ran his jand throught his hair and then dropped his head his head in his hands, hiding it. His breathings were stil heavy. I put my hands carefully on his shoulder, making him turn his head almost immediately towards me. Seeing me he sighed and pulled me on his lap and just nuzzled his face in my neck.

It's been a while that his face was in my neck and I was caressing hair while my other hand was wrapped arouns his neck, pulling him closer. Whatever it was definitely horrible and I felt realy bad for Sebestian. He pulled his face out of my neck, but my hands were still in hair and around his neck, his eyes were closed and he was trying to calm his breath. After trying, he finally opened his eyes and I saw something I didn't think I'd ever see in Sebestian. Vulnerability. He was vulnerable, he was afraid to let his emotions be known, he was afraid to let anyone in.

"What happened?" I asked and he just stared at me.

"Nothing." He said, not wanting to give me an answer. Why does he need to be so stubborn.

"Sebestian, it definitely wasn't nothing. You had a bad dream, didn't you?" I asked as I made sure about his dream. He just sighed and said, "Yes Padgett, I had a bad dream, now leave it." He said.

"Was it about your mother?" I asked, completely forgetting about giving him space. He looked at me and I regret the thing I just asked, his mother was definitely a very sensitive topic for him.

"Sleep." This was all he said and grabbed me with him to lay down, he didn't answer me. He was tensed, I could see that, but he wasn't ready to make his emotions known.

What exactly happened to his mother? Was it so intense that Sebestian is worried to this extent? Why wasn't Albert telling me anything?

"I can feel you thinking. Stop it." He said, as my head was on his chest and his arms were wrapped around my waist. With diissing all my thoughts I focused on getting some sleep.

I woke up the next morning, I expected Sebestian to be here but he wasn't. The bed was empty. I got up and searched for him in the whole penthouse but he wasn't there. No-one was there. I dropped the thought thinking he will just come back, with this thought I went to the bathroom. Turning on the hot water after stripping my clothes, I stood under the running hot water, it felt good when the water glided through my body. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't dismiss my thoughts about last night. Something was bothering him and he didn't want to explain it to me. How can he expect me to, stay in a marriage where I didn't know anything about him, even after asking but he did.

After my shower I was just going through my new phone which I didn't get to see yesterday. It seriously had all my data from my previous phone, but no matter how hard I tried searching for Colton's or father number it wasn't there, he deleted it and unfortunately I don't remember it either let's just say I had a sleek chance of getting away but Sebestian was smarter to cut it. My phone had his number which was wierd because I never had it before. I also had numerous texts from Kate Hemsworth. My college friend, I promised to keep contact with her after the reunioun. I replied to Kate, hoping she wouldn't feel bad about it. There was a knock on the door, making me confused.

I slowly opened the door, to see the manager from yesterday. He had a smile and he wasn't alone, he had brought one of the staff.

"Good Morning, Mrs. Knight." He said smiling and in his funny accent. I just smiled at him, he seemed like a lively man.

"Mr. Knight ordered us to inform you about his meeting that he's currently attending. Since, it's morning we assume that you would like some breakfast." He said, explaining Sebestian's early departure. Next he motioned the staff to arrange the breakfast on the table while I let them in. While the boy was busy arranging breakfast which looked heavenly, the manager continued to ask me if I needed anything, or felt the need to change anything.

They both left after setting up the breakfast and I didn't waste another minute to devour it, it was delicious. It was Butter Croissants, Frech omlete, Buckwheat crepes, honeyed fruit salad and with an option between the drinks of fresh orange juice or flat espresso. One thing I totally loved about French breakfast was that it was all sweet and chocolatey. It was all a lot for me to finish up and though I feel bad about wasting food, I just couldn't help it. I all of a sudden had a sick feeling in my stomach, it was something which made me want to throw up, and that's what I did, in the middle of my breakfast I ran up to the bathroom and emptied all the contents of my stomach. The uneasy feeling was still there, I think no matter how matter how much the French breakfast appealed me it didn't to my stomach. I brushed my mouth and forced myself to have the orange juice and finish the fruit salad. No matter how much I wanted to throw up, I controlled myself, I couldn't have myself walking around empty-stomach.

After being done with my breakfast, I dressed up in a straight, black skirt and black shirt, I took a grey overcoat. The skirt was till my upper thigh and the overcoat stopped a bit beneath it, I paired this outfir with some black boots, the boots stopped just above my knees. I let my black hair open, how I always liked it. With checking myself last time in the mirror, I walked out ready to explore Paris.

As I made my way to the hotel doors, the guard stopped me. "Mr. Knight has given us orders to not let you out." The guard said. I was confused and angry. Does he think he can keep me up in a hotel room? No way. I wanted to see Paris. I was telling him to let me go but was interrupted by the manager's sudden appearance. God, this guy just pooped out of somewhere and I really need to know his name if we're meeting this often.

"Is there something troubling you, Mrs. Knight?" He asked, his formality reminded me of Albert.

"Please can you tell him to let me go out." I asked, in a low voice hoping his answer would be different.

"I apologize, Mrs. Knight. I'm afraid I can't do that." He said with a smile. I just sighed.

I was irritated of the fact that everything had to go the way he wanted and why the hell was everybody addressing me as 'Mrs. Knight' everytime? I was angry but the next moment I wanted to cry and throw a tantrum infront of the busy lobby. All of these things I wanted but what I did was worst. I just walked back to the lift nodding my head in an understanding way. I didn't protest further because I was tired, I literally slept so much but still entering the lift I let out a tired yawn and the thought of my bed just made me more drowsy. I don't know what it was, but I seriously needed some sleep and that's what I did, I reached my room and headed for the bed. I woke up after 2 hours and sat up, I literally had nothing to do, just wait for Sebestian. I passed my time watching T.V. I thought being in Paris wouldn't keep me locked up in a room like I was back at that place but it did.

Suddenly, my phone started ringing and it was Sebestian who was calling. I wanted to decline his call and lock this door uo so he won't be able to enter, but I was not found of seeing someone die because of me or I definitely didn't want to be punished by him, so I picked his call.

"Hello?" I spoke.

"You need to come to the lobby right now." He said not bothering to reply to my greeting. And why do I need to come to the lobby? What was this man up to?

"Okay." I replied as he hung up. I got up from the bed and made my way towards the bathroom to wash my face and comb my hair. I was deciding whether I should change my outfit or not. I decided not to. I should not be dressed up just be aise he's here, he might think that I am way too excited to meet him. I didn't tie my hair and left them open. On wearing my over coat I made my way out to meet him.

On reaching the lobby I searched for him only to see him walking towards me. He looked handsome, as always in suit. Oh God, I seriously need to stop. Taking a few breaths I tried to calm myself down. He came towards me and grabbed my hands leading us out of the hotel. The guard didn't object this time.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I sat in the car with Sebestian in the drivers seat.

"Out" He shortly said grabbing my hand with one of his as his other was on the steering wheel.

"Why?" I asked genuinely confused, he never took me out, why now?

"I was informed that my wife wanted to go out." He said as he glanced at me. Those people reported everything to him.
