Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 42

❝A friend carrying secrets❞

.•*•.

"Don't mind me, just passing through" A unfamiliar voice speaks in a joking matter, breaking the kiss, I turn to look at the one that had spoken, only to see man I've never seen before standing there with a smirk on his face. When Sebastian turns around and I'm free to move, he makes sure to stand in front of me, making the unfamiliar man not see me or I not see him, either way it does seem to be working. I don't get a chance to process the kiss before this confusion hits me all at once. 7

Sebastian chuckles when he walks over to the man and I stand there and watch as they shake hands. "Always with the annoying grand entrance" He only says to the man and the two of them are acting like they know each other, but then again it doesn't take long for me to figure out that there is not a single person in this whole mansion that Sebastian doesn't know, nothing goes past him it seems. "You know what they say 'Once a showman, always a showman'" The man says and the two of them share a hint of laugh. 2

So, Sebastian can laugh? It does shock me to the core. I'm not sure what I should be doing because I don't know where to go nor do I know this man. The man then turns to look at me like he is studying me and I do that to him too. He wears a suit, though not as fancy as Sebastian but still it does look respectable. "Forgive me, but it would appear I have not yet introduced myself" He says as he walks over to me, leaving Sebastian behind where he once was.

He takes my hand and kisses it which makes me furrow my eyebrows at him. "I'm Colt. Colt Morgan, and you are...?" He asks me as I take my hand away and look closer at his face. "Fawn King" I tell him and look into his ice blue eyes. Still, his name does not tell me that much about who he is. "She certainly is a catch to the eye, got to be careful, a woman like her is easy to lose. Especially when others are willing to take such a beauty. What do you say, sweetheart, ditch the boring man and join me for an adventure?" Colt asks me. 100

For a moment I think he winked at me but I can't be sure for as soon as those words were spoken, Sebastian walks over to me and his arms snake themselves around my waist. "She isn't going anywhere, least of all with you. Do not forget that you may be the only one my power cannot touch but that doesn't mean that the ones you love can't say the same!" He tells him, his voice darkens to the point that I barely recognize it. I stay silent as some tension grows in the hallway. 5

Colt only chuckles as he smirks. "Just let me know when you've gotten bored of him, little beauty" He only says before he turns around and start walking down the same way that he came from. "Adios!" He calls out and when he's far enough I wiggle myself out of Sebastian's arms and back away from him. "I'm still mad at you" I say. Wanting nothing more than to ask him about Colt, though I can tell it's not the right time for I'm actually really mad at my supposed husband and I feel a hint of regret for kissing him.

However, the kiss felt right in some sense, perhaps it is because of the fact that we're married or the fact that I may be failing for him. No matter how much I try to deny it, I can't deny the truth any longer. I promised myself that I would not be falling for him but I will never be able to uphold that promise. The deal that we made will be impossible to win if I fall for him. Perhaps this was all planned by him, maybe all he wants is me to fall in love so he could win. 5

Though, something inside me speaks to me and it says that he isn't doing it because of that. "Believe me, I know that very well. You wish to know who he is, correct?" He asks me, his voice casual and I'm not sure how he can stay this calm but then again I need to remind me that he could be held at gunpoint and still stay calm or talk his way out of it, I suppose. I nod my head, unsure of what to say at the moment. I look at him to see that his eyes are only focused on me.

"That is a friend of mine, as annoying as he is, we do get along every once in a while. Don't expect yourself to be seeing more of him. He never stays in one place long enough to get to know him" He tells me as he starts walking towards his office. "What does that mean?" I ask before I could stop myself. As he disappears into the office, I walk to the door and stand by the threshold but not once do I step inside the office itself.

"It means that before the next day, he will be on a plane to another country far away, and it would take a couple of months before we will see him again. He only came here to give me something" He tells me but the last part he mutters under his breath. Puzzled, I look at his hand to see that he holds a USB flash-drive in his palm. It's a rather small one but it makes the confusion inside my brain bigger. "What is that?" I ask him and he looks up at me like he had forgotten I was even here. "Nothing yet everything" He answers. Wait... what?
