Sasha took several moments to compose herself. She turned to address Sebastian through bloodshot eyes. “What have you done with my kids? You monster, return them to me.”

Her children were her life. Without them, life wasn’t worth living. Even in her current state, all she cared about was their wellbeing.

Sebastian brought a chair next to her and sat down comfortably, propping his legs up on her bed.

“Sasha, let us establish some ground rules. First of all, the kids are mine as well as yours. Secondly, if I really intended for you not to meet them, you will never be able to, make no mistake.”

She settled down. Eyes remained fixed upon him with distaste and distrust, she nevertheless allowed him to continue.

Fear, hopelessness, and grief flashed in her eyes. In spite of herself, she was trembling, with tears flowing freely down her cheeks.

She was at a loss.

Sebastian was disturbed at the effect he produced.

Sasha felt a trace of hope at that. Perhaps her children were not completely lost to her.
