Chapter 4

Sebastian Donovan's P O V

"Why the hell did you do it, Ethan?!" I asked in frustration, not understanding his intention of making an appointment with an unknown design studio while we had a lot of other work. 

"You know, I am not someone that does any unnecessary things, right? Go there and attend the meeting. You will understand everything," he replied with a smile while not mentioning the exact reason, but by his smile, I can understand one thing: he is not talking about the design, but something else. 

I stared at him for a few seconds, trying to understand the exact reason, but I took a sigh as I didn't care about it with all the other works waiting on my table. 

"I am just going to reject it and come back! You better pay for the time that you made me waste!" I said in irritation as I walked towards the parking lot. 

I drove my car to the studio and saw the man in his suite waiting for me, and then I got to know that he was the CEO of that design studio.

I am not impressed with his dressing sense or the studio, but I don't know what the hell made Ethan like it so much to the point he made me come here. 

He has never done something like this before. He hates recommendations, but I seriously can't understand why he was so excited to tell me about this. 

I nodded my head at him while he was introducing himself, and we walked straight to the meeting room with him and some other employees that are waiting for me with him. 

I am only waiting for this meeting to end so I can reject them and get back to my pending work. 

That's when I saw HER there. Jasmine Everly. My wife... No, my ex-wife. 

My heart skipped a beat and all the memories flowed back like it never left. 

My fingers clenched into fist, forcing myself to be seated so I won't lose control and run to her to claim her like a animal that has been starved for 6 years! 6 fucking years! 

But the moment she broke the eye contact, throwing me back the reality like I don't exist. 

My knuckles turned red in anger as I stared at her beautiful back. 

The same back I saw the day she walked out of my life. 

My heart tightens as I felt thousand of ant crawling up to my heart and perising it as all those painful memories flowed back like it's happening again. 

The pain of seeing the women you love.... or fucking obsessed with is laying naked on the bed with another man is unbearable. 

Unbearable is a small word. My world turned upside down, I couldn't breath as I stared at that disgusting scene.

Even after every fucking thing she did! I am still here as my heart is pushing me to own her again like no fucker can ever think of. 

To fucking destroy her for anyone to even look. 

To kidnap her from here to place where only I can see her, feel her, devour to the point she can't think about anything but me. 

My thoughts run wild and crazy even after everything she has done. Even after she destroyed my life and put me through endless nightmare. 

Even after doing everything, she is only one that makes me feel all those feelings that I long forgot. That even thought it didn't exist on her absence.

She destroys every fucking thing no matter how strong I build. 

She still looks the same, so pretty, so innocent, just like an angel fallen from the sky. 

She stood there, ready to start her presentation and her eyes moved to everyone but me. 

Presentation? 

What is she ...? My eyes widen a little, realizing everything. 

Now, I got to know why Ethan wants me to come here. He never meant the designs but her, the one I was searching for like crazy, even though I hate to be in the same place as her. 

Her eyes looked at everyone but me. This made me so mad that I forced her eyes back at mine with just a question. 

Her beautiful eyes widened with shock as she didn't expect me to ask her name, but that soon turned to anger in a flash and then back to the normal one. My eyes remained on her, unaffected, even though it is completely opposite to what I am feeling inside.

She introduced herself and started her presentation, giving a look at Asher, the one sitting next to me. He stared at her with a smile and his eyes filled with..... love? What the hell? 

 While I sat there, my eyes only on her.... Or should I say, I didn't do anything but just watch her? I didn't listen to anything that she had been saying the whole time. 

It has been 6 years since I last saw her and my heart still skips a beat even after all these years. 

Her eyes turned to me after ending the presentation and I did say the exact same answer that I had even before coming here "I don't like this design."

If Ethan thought that I might give this project just because I saw my ex-wife here, then he was wrong. I am not ready to waste my time with these small studios right now. 

I have my other way to own her, completely

I got up from my seat, ready to leave, but was stopped by her soft voice, "Which design you didn't like, Mr. Donovan? And can you tell me what kind of designs you prefer?" And it sounds desperate to me. 

I didn't plan to accept this order, but the thought of seeing her so desperate for this order made me smile, so I sat back to see her trying hard while sending everyone out, especially this Asher. 

These two are looking at each other until he walks out of the meeting room, and this already pissed me off. 

How fucking dare he even think about looking her way?!

What the fuck?!

I walked towards her and sat on the 2nd chair to make her sit next to me. She understood and sat in the place where I wanted her to be. 

Her vanilla scent filled my nostrils as soon as she sat and I inhaled it deeply as I missed her, even after everything she had done in my life.

She didn't turn to me and only asked the questions and I directly rejected her, as I was not interested in giving them the project. 

She gave me her other designs, and it is really good. She has always been an excellent designer and these are much better than before. 

I don't know how to reject her designs, so I let out something that has been bothering me for so long. 

"The designs are fine, but you are the one who doesn't have the willpower to stay focused on one thing!". 

Her eyes widened as she stared at me like I said something that she didn't do. She fucking did it! She fucking betrayed me and went to another man! She can't stay focused on me while I was head over heels for her! While I was ready to do any fucking thing for her!

"What does that mean, Mr. Donovan?" She shouted in her voice filled with anger. Getting up from her seat as she glared daggers at me. 

"I didn't say anything that's not true, right?" I replied like I didn't care because I don't! But I love to see her lose temper and cool just like I did it.

Her fingers clenched into a fist as her eyes didn't leave mine, glaring harder than before. Her lips are pressed into a thinner line as she can't say anything because it's true. 

I fucking caught her red-handed, and she didn't have anything to defend herself at that time. She couldn't even explain what the hell was going on!

She stood there like someone cut her tongue and she wanted to be with him and not me!
