the night while he was at the hospital with Olivia.
When she didn’t respond, he yelled again, his voice getting more desperate, “If you don’t open the door, I'll have
someone unlock it!”

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “Wantto hide?”
Stephanie could've sworn he understood exactly what she was thinking.
She considered asking him, but she knew better. Sebastian would never agree to hide.
His expression darkened, and she didn’t dare suggest it.

your fault!”
Then cthe sound of a lock being forced.
Stephanie's jaw dropped-He brought a locksmith?
She shot a furious look at Sebastian, her eyes full of anger at Chris.
In a split second, she spun around and rushed toward the closet where she kept her baseball bat.
She was ready to beat Chris into the ground for pulling this stunt.
But as she turned, the door behind her clicked open.

front of him, he froze.

Chapter 43
Chris’s breathing grew shallow, erratic.
Finally, he snapped, his voice hoarse with fury, “Stephanic, how dare you!”
He turned to Sebastian, whose calm presence felt like an entire universe of restraint. His features were sharp, his
gaze almost intimidating under the bright lights.
Even in his rage, Chris hesitated, momentarily taken aback by the intensity in Sebastian's eyes.

Chris, already struggling to control his breath, felt his anger intensify as he saw Sebastian in that towel.
A bitter laugh escaped him. “So, this is why you called off the wedding? Stephanie, you really are something
else.”
His eyes grew colder as he glared at her, stepping further into the room.
The locksmith, sensing the tension, could see where this was heading.
Without a word, he backed out, bolting from the scene-no payment needed, no questions asked.
