The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

He bit her lip. Sensing the predicament he had placed himself in, he stood there fuming. However, looking at the little girl, he felt his anger dissipate without even realizing it. They remained in the ward a little longer, as Sebastian had to be at work. Before sending the children back, he summoned the doctor to enquire about Sasha’s condition. “Mr. Hayes, the patient is recovering well. If nothing else happens, she will be allowed to be discharged in two days,” said the doctor. “Yay! Did you hear that, Mommy? You’ll be out soon,” Vivian squealed happily. “Will you come live with us at Frontier Bay? We have a large house there, and it’s very beautiful!” Sasha glanced at Sebastian skulking in the corner of the ward and shook her head.

“Of course not, Vivi. We don’t live at Frontier Bay. He will take you there these two days because Mommy will be here at the hospital.

Possibly even more so, seeing as I was the one who had raised him for five years.” She was incensed but still afraid of his temper. The thing that she had feared the most had arrived. Sebastian was trying to fight for custody of her babies. Taking them away from her home would just be the first of many more to come. Will he ban them from ever seeing her again? Sasha hugged

Just then, Ian came over and tugged on his father’s hand. “Daddy, if you bully Mommy again, I will go with them too!” he walked over and joined his brother at Sasha’s side. Sebastian was furious. He had to fight the urge to spank the boys. They don’t
