Padgett Eve

"Sebestian!" Called a voice, highly irritating and so familiar, when we turned to that voice it was none other than the she-devil herself Scarlett Rose.

My eyes widened and I wanted nothing more to kill myself right now, my palms were all of a sudden sweaty giving a signal of my rising nervousness, my body was trembling and I hid myself behind Sebestian's extremely large frame due to the newfound fear which was crawling up on me, my body temperature was suddenly high, the room was all of a sudden similar to hell fire. All because of the sight infront of me. All because Scarlett came with the Mason Gray. It was Mason, he was standing infront of me, a bit different but still sending me his filthy sinister smirk, while he was coming up to me and Sebestian with an equally pleased Scarlett. She knew what was going on, she knew what it meant to me but she still enjoyed doing it.

"Padgett Knight." I was bought out of my thoughts because of Sebestian sternly whispering my name.

"Ye..Yes." J said looking at him stuttering becaise I couldn't help it.

"You're not fine." He stated, he didn't bother to question, even I wouldn't if I was in his shoes right now. I didn't realise that I was clutching his arms like my life depended on it and I was trying to hide behind his back, covering myself from the threat which was descending towards me.

"N-no, I'm f-fine." I said as I still held onto his arm but just came to his side, his warmth made me feel safe.

"I know you're not. I want to know once this is all over." He whispered in my ear, his breath was tickling me but I just managed to nod.

"Hey Padgett." Scarlett said excitedly, I just pulled a small smile and kept my eyes down avoiding eye contact with Mason.

"I clearly told you not to come to my house ever again if you cared for your life, seems like you don't." Sebestian said angry about her arrival.

"I came here as a date, of my friend here, Mason." Scarlett replied.

"Do you remember him, Padgett? He was in the same class as us." Scarlett said emphasizing class.

I was forced to look up and I didn't only fear the sight of Mason, but also the questioning looks coming from my dear husband.

Why does my life need to be so hard?

"Hello Padgett, it's been quite a while, hasn't it?" Came Mason's voice, I just pulled a very forced and small smile, all while holding his arm tight and he just looked at me, he clearly wanted nothing more than to question me right now.

"Mason Gray." Mason said stretching his arms forward for Sebestian to shake. Sebestian looked at his hand and then at him and he just nodded, making an embarresed Mason pull his hand back.

"So, Padgett Eve. It's been long since we've met right? You've really changed... I mean look at yourself, if I would have known that you would've changed like this I definitely would have tried to date you." Mason said after, breaking the small awkward silence we developed. He was going to touch my cheek when Sebestian stopped him by saying,

"It's Padgett Knight. And I dare you to say something like that again or try and touch my wife again and it would be a matter of second until everybody here see's your dead body on the floor." Sebestian threw a threat making his hand stop in midway air. He was scared, Scarlett was shocked and I was sort of relieved. He probably knew how uncomfortable his words were for me.

Scarlett was about to say something but Sebestian cut her off by walking away with me. We were walking away from them while I was trying to breathe normally trying my vest not to let Sebestian get a hunt of my fear.

"Do you want to leave?" Sebestian said caressing the back of my waist as we were finally awy from them. I couldn't help but rest my head on his shoulder, it was probably not right but everybody was busy with talking and I couldn't find another way to feel safe. It was always like this, he was the pain but he was also the cure for it. And all this was making my head spin.

"You're going to be just fine." Sebestian said wrapping his other hand around me. And all I could do was agree with him. He sort of hypnotised me, and I knew the truth, nothing can harm me as long as he was by my side.

After a while of meeting with Sebestian's business partners and avoiding Mason and Scarlett, I was not feeling well and I was feeling like throwing up. I quickly excused myself and literally ran to the guest bathroom as it was the closest.

I was right I threw up and I really needed to consult a doctor about it. The travelling affected me. I washed my mouth and smoothened my hair and dress, after I looked all well did I exit the bathroom. I was walking in the hallways when I heard my name, it was a whisper but it was audible. I turned around to see Colton.

Yes, Colton. It was unbelievable but as soon as I realised the situation and remembered all of Sebestian's words and actions I walked up to him and said,

"Colton, what are you doing here?" I was scared for his dear life, from the day that I came here I knew Sebestian wasn't someone to mess with, but after seeing it myself in the past few days I couldn't help but risk his life. I saw what he did to people who he saw as an enemy. I remember what he said, his words his echo around making me fear each second of his craziness.

"Anyone who comes between us will face hell."

After seeing of what he is capable of I don't have any reason of not to believe him. That man has no limits to reach to his victory.

"I came here for you, let's go." He said as he descended towards me but I just stepped back.

"I'm married to him." I said in a broken voice while holding up my hand which had the beautiful but forced wedding ring Sebestian slipped down my fingers.

"That doesn't matter. This marriage doesn't make sense, you were already engaged to me." He said stepping forwards and grabbing my hand which I flashed at him,but I was quick enough to retreat it. His touch didn't feel right. His touch didn't set my body on fire like Sebestian's touch did, well his whole presence did. There was this fire which burned my skin but felt so good at the same time, and it was all merely because of his presence or touch.

"Why are you doing this?" Colton questioned.

"It's the best for both of us." I replied.

"Don't tell me Padgett, you love him?" He almost yelled in a shocking manner.

"He's my husband." Were all the words which slipped out of my mouth. I couldn't deny it. I couldn't agree with it either.

"That doesn't matter, you betrayed us. You betrayed me, you betrayed your father. Such a whore you are." He said making me shock. Out of all the people I couldn't believe that these words were coming out from Colton's mouth, I expected him to be the last person to use these kind of words, not only for me but any person out there.

"It's better you leave before someone comes." I said looking around because I still cared for his life and I knew that if Sebestian was the one to spot us together, he will be killed and who knows maybe I will too.

"Why? Afraid your husband might be aware of that slutty character of yours." He said with a smirk. He made me shiver with fear because he wasn't the same, was it that I was mistaken before or all of this was because of me.

He suddenly got a phone call he just sighed before receiving it and I was on the verge of breaking down. I wasn't feeling well, I suddenly got all these accusations from Colton, Scarlett was set on making my life hell and Sebestian wasn't ready to leave me. But was I ready to leave Sebestian?

"I'll leave now, your dear husband might come any moment." He said and without waiting for any reply he walked back. I was questioning myself, was I really that bad or did I just made someone who cared for me turn their back against me?

I was walking back when I was pulled back. And it was someone I didn't want to see. Mason. Why was evening turning into a 'Let's make Padgett's life hell' evening. I was scared to no end he was standing infront of me holding my hand tight with his sinister smile. It made more sick than I already was.

"Hello, Padgett."

"Leave me.... You're hurting me." I said while trying to get my hand out of his grip which was starting to hurt like hell.

"That's what I intend to do." He said tightening his hold on my hand as he dragged me and literally pushed me to a wall. I thought it was best to escape but I was wrong he was now pinning both of my hands to the wall, he was using all his force and my hands already had bruises making me whimper in pain.

"What are you going to do? Shout for your husband for help?" He chuckeled seeing my helpless state and released one of my wrist only to place his hold on my throat. He was choking me.

"Because of you, I was fucking expelled from college. My own fucking father threw me comments, all because of you." He gritted while my free hand reached up to his wrist in a desperate attempt to free my throat from his ruthless hold.

"Pl.. please." I said hitting his wrist while he just tightened it, blocking the subtle air supply which went before.

"Now that I see, I was at loss. I was expelled, and I didn't get what I want." He said as he brought his head closer to me and loosened his hold on my neck. I was more scared than before.

"Don't worry, I will complete what I started." He said bringing his face more close to mine. I would gladly choose death over what he said that he would do. I wanted nothing more than Sebestian to come here and drag him away from me, I missed nothing more than Sebestian's warm embrace, how he could calm me down.

"N..no" I muttered and tried to resist him by trying my best to push my hand and my free fist to hurt him, but he just blocked it and laughed.

"Oh Padgett. You're resisting again. Sadly, there's no professor here to save you like last time. It's just you and me. And your husband who's probably busy fucking Scarlett." He said and his words stung like hell. Sebestian wouldn't do that, right? But then again, why wouldn't he? I was just a mere obsession, and now that Scarlett's back in the picture no way he'd pay any attention to me.

I shook my head as tears made their way and I pictured the worst scenarios possible. I was begging him to stop but he didn't he placed his head in my neck a bit my skin, I didn't enjoy it, not even an ounce. It was disgusting. I got my hand on his shoulder and pushed him with all my strength, he thankfully stumbled back as he was busy biting my neck. I pushed him hard and ran away but I couldn't run that far as I was pulled back by him. He pulled my hair.

"Bitch." He said and he dragged me by my hair and I screamed at the top of my lungs. Nobody came, I was helpless again. I cried more as he tore the front of dress. He tore it enough to reveal my chest. His body was pressing mine to the wall as he now slowly came towards my chest and I still screamed while his other hand was the bottom of my dress riding it up with his hands. Up to my thigh. I constantly wiggled to get out of his grip cried so much.

Suddenly he left me. I opened my eyes to find him on the floor with a cut on the side of his lips. And an angry, very angry Sebestian standing infront of him.

Mason was on the floor, while Sebestian came up to me. He gently touched cheek making me flinch as my hands went up to chest, he just sighed trying to calm himself down while he took of his coat and wrapped it around me, covering me and went back to Mason who tried to run.

"You fucking tried to touch my wife, you motherfucking bastard." He said and punched him again while Bradley and Alan came to me. Alan pulled me to the side while Bradley cursed and went to Sebestian who was very close to beat Mason to his death.

"Fucking touch me and I will do the same to you." Sebestian shouted to Bradley when he tried to pull him. Bradley just sighed and came to us.

"He's not going to stop, take her to her bedroom." Bradley said to Alan while Alan just nodded and I watched in horror what Sebestian was doing to Mason. He pinned his arm to his back and pushed him to the wall.

I was taken to my room where Sebestian came after a few minutes he just locked the door and came to me and embraced me. I sobbed while my head was in his neck and his hands were stronking my hair and caressing the back of my waist. He walked me to the bathroom, where he helped me wash my face after that he took me to the closet. We didn't exchange any words but my sobs never died, they must have lowered down but they didn't die down. We were infront of his side of the closet. He took one of his t-shirt and came towards me. He slowly took of his coat and was going to take of my dress when I caught his hands.

"Hey, I'm just changing your clothes. You're fine." He said and when I looked into his eyes I couldn't help but trust him. For a moment I really thought he never gave me any pain. For a moment.

After changing me into one of his black, oversize creck-neck t-shirt he picked me up and placed me on the bed. He soon joined in and pulled me up to his chest. His chest was warm and I leaned more into it. He stroked my hair and his other hand went up and down my back in a soothing manner.

"You know you have to tell me." He finally said breaking the silence. I clearly knew what he was talking about, it was quite obvious but I didn't want to.

As a reply I just moved my face from his chest to his neck. We both were shocked about my action but we both contained ourselves. It was new to me, I wanted him close but I wanted him to stay away the same time. Maybe the urge to keep him close was winning.

"Padgett." He said and I unconsciously revealed a few more tears in his neck.

I pulled my head out and placed my hands on his chest while I sat on his lap. His back was against the headboard as I was on top him, straddling his waist. I stared at him with my yeary while he stared back at me with his icy-blue orbs. His hand came up to my face, I subtly fliched but it was noticed by him. He wiped my tears and rested his hand on my cheek, stroking it. He wanted me to tell him and I looked away, how long could I hide this from him. He'll know it anyway so why not tell him now.

"Scarlett and Mason were friends in university..." I started but my body became numb however, he encouraged me by pulling me closer. He knew that I felt safe when I was close to him.

"I wasn't friends with either of them." I tried to say but Sebestian encouraged me by nodding his head and he also stared to softly kiss my hands timely.

"When we reached our l-last year, Mason suddenly showed interest in me."

"We started talking and I t-thought that he was nice g-guy." I continued swallowing the bile that rose up my throat as I remembered that time while Sebestian sat there with patience, however I could see the havoc he causes once he gets to know what happened and once he runs out of patience.

"O-one day, he came up to me and took me in one of the classrooms. We were having a presentation by a company that day, so m-most of the students were not there."

"H-he took m-me to t-the classroom and t-tried to force h-himself on me.... But he s-stoped when a professor came. He was l-later expelled." I said my voice broke at the end as the tears which flew were uncontrollable. He wasted no time in embracing me. His embace was firm and comforting. He just embraced me but it wasn't just embrace. It felt good, and I was a bit relieved to finally share it with someone. Though the person is unexpectable, I could finally see that we were communicating better than before.

I could still feel his anger, but his worry for my safety overpowered his anger. But it was still there. He wanted to question me but he didn't and I appreciated it. Instead he simply laid down with me on his top he didn't let me move, he placed my face in his neck, it's like he knew that I liked it there. He placed a kiss on top of my head while I just relaxed and leaned into his warmth, wrapping my arms around his neck and resting my legs on each side of his waist

"Good Night." He said and I just lightly hummed in response already ready to sleep, but his next words made my heart beat so rapidly that I thought of my heart coming out of my rib cage.

"I love you."

I couldn't respond but I just held him a bit tight and he returned the gesture.

I slept hugging Sebestian all night, I was comfortable but I'm not sure about him because I literally used him as my matress.

The next morning was something usual with me a bit irritated because of constantly throwing up, but the breakfast made up for it. Sebestian called me after breakfast to his study. I was nervous at first but what he said made me exreamly happy in a long time. He said that he'd let me meet my friend.

So currently I was getting ready to meet my friend, Kate. I discussed if she was fine with meeting me and she was more than happy and so was I. Finally I was going out, without Sebestian. His guards, but without Sebestian.

I decided to wear a navy blue turtle-neck sweater and paired it up with a black skirt. I tucked in the sweater and paired my upper-thigh skirt with black upper-thigh length boots. It was perfect for the weather and I felt that it was good.

I walked out of the closet and was faced with Sebestian he was on the phone speaking to someone, yelling at some to be more, precise. I didn't wish to spoil my plans so I planned to quietly exit the room. I almost reached the door and was just going out but unfortunately Sebestian called me making me stop on my tracks.

"You look beautiful." He saidand cametowards me and placed a a chaste kiss on my lips.

"Be safe, call me if there's wrong and here." He said offering me a black card. I was hesitant to take it.

"No it's fine. Thank you." I said and he chuckled.

"It's time you realise that you don't have an option." He said and I took it. H needs to stop that. Being good and then going back to his dominant self.

"Bye." I softly said and went out.

I reached the mall in no time and was sitting in the cafè, waiting for Kate.

"Padgett." Kate waved at me from the entrance and I got up smiling. It had been a long time since I met someone like this. She hugged me as soon as she reached near me, it was sudden but her gesture was really sweet.

"So, girl, how are you?" She said as we both seated ourselves. She looked around and spotted the two bodyguards Sebestian sent. It wasn't just the two of them, there were more but they were casually dressed and tried blending in.

"I'm sorry for that." I said as I noticed that she was getting a bit uncomfortable around them, but she just flashed me her smile. Her full of hope smile, that I missed. She just shook her head and we both ordered our drinks since the waiter was here.

"I heard you're married." She said as soon as the waiter went. My smile faded, everybody knew

"Yeah." I just said trying to hide the fact that it was not to my liking.

"Sebestian Knight. Huh? Girl you got yourself an extremely hot man." She said as she just smirked at me, and it all made me blush hard.

"Stop it." I said as she was wiggling her eyebrows satisfied with my reaction.

"Enough about me, what's up with you?" I said trying to distract her and thankfully I managed to do that.

"You know the usual, work problems." She sighed as she leaned back in her chair.

The conversation kept going as our drinks arrived. We were discussing the reunion when she said something making me shock.
