The Love that Never Really Dies

There was a moment when a glimmer of hope shone within Sebastian’s heart.

It was as if he was in a deep well, and someone suddenly tossed a rope down. He might not be able to climb out of it himself, but at least he could save everyone else. He could send everyone away.

Thank the heavens that it’s not too late.

“Sebastian?”

“I heard you. Go back and tell him that my surname will only ever be Hayes. I will not accept any other surnames or titles!” growled Sebastian icily and clearly when he told Jake his decision.

Jake understood what that meant right away.

He will not accept another surname, so that means that he doesn’t want to be a member of the Jadesons.

That also means that Devin has to help keep everything a secret for as long as he could.

Jake left soon after.

Karl was stunned when he entered the room because it only took a moment, but his employer had already become the only one in the room. “Mr. Hayes,” said Karl, “Did Mr. Chandler…”

“Look into my wife’s recent schedule and learn if she had been in contact with that woman in Jetroina,” interrupted Sebastian harshly. His voice carried no warmth, and it was as if he had turned into an entirely different person.

Karl was stunned once more.

He wants me to investigate Madam? Why? How could she possibly have gotten in touch with Yancy? That is simply impossible.

Karl assumed that he misheard it, so he asked, “Mr. Hayes, i-is your fever not down yet? How could Madam possibly be in contact with that woman? That’s just ridiculous.”
