Chapter 21

SEBASTIAN’S POV

1/

I was fast enough to catch Celine’s body before she fell to the ground, lifted

her up, and carried her bridal style. Just I was about to walk out of the room, I

felt someone’s fingers wrapped around my arm.

“S–Seb..” Hearing Brylee’s voice prevented me from moving. “Where are you

I heaved a deep sigh before shaking off her hand and continuing to walk, but

another woman pranced over and she looked like she was on the verge of

blowing a fuse.

My mother cast a suspicious look in my direction before interrogating me

shoulder. I didn’t look around to see who it was because I could tell by the

way he was pressing his hand on my shoulder that he was angry with me.

“Julio… what is it that you want?”

“She’s my daughter, I’m the one who will take her home, Sebastian…” he was

now in front of me and wearing a fake smile, his voice sounding ingratiating.

And as he was talking, he extended his arm to take Celine from my me, but I

retreated a step in the opposite direction. “She’s not going home with you.
