Chapter 7 She Is His

"Sebastian's kiss had always been dominant and overpowering, not giving Joyce any chance to break free. He pressed Joyce against the office desk, one hand holding her chin and the other gripping her waist tightly. Joyce’s soft and sweet touch stimulated every nerve in his body. The fierce beast trapped inside Sebastian's body kept pounding against its cage, wanting to break free.

The time they had spent together was harmonious. No matter how much he wanted, Joyce always went along with him. Sometimes she would faint from exhaustion, but she never complained.

But now, the woman beneath him was fiercely struggling, fighting to the death. Hot tears streamed down her cheeks.

Sebastian didn't continue. His slender fingers gently wiped away the tears from Joyce's eyes.

His voice was filled with unsatisfied desire. "Joyce, the game between us is only over when I say so! Do you understand?"

Joyce looked at him with teary eyes, her lips slightly parted and bloodied. "Sebastian, I won't stay just to be humiliated by you!"

Sebastian lowered his head and licked away the blood from her lips, his smile not reaching his eyes. "If you're not afraid to risk the Blackwood family, you can try!"

After speaking, he stood up, his gaze casually sweeping over Joyce's disheveled dress and those slender and long legs under her skirt.

Joyce felt immensely humiliated. She quickly straightened her clothes and walked towards the door.

Just as she opened it, she saw Isabella standing at the doorway in a white dress. Isabella had a harmless smile on her face.

"Sebastian, I brought you breakfast."

This was the first time Joyce had seen Isabella up close. Their appearances did have some resemblance, especially their eyes and noses.

Joyce's hunch was confirmed. Sebastian had misunderstood her intentions and still wanted to keep her around. He had mistaken her for Isabella's replacement. After three years of mutual support, she ended up as a substitute.

It was a heart-wrenching realization for Joyce. She tried to calm herself down, nodded at Isabella, and left.

As the office door closed, Sebastian looked at Isabella with a somewhat cold gaze. "Why are you here?"

Isabella's eyes instantly turned red. She hung her head like a pitiful little victim. Her voice was choked with sobs. "I'm sorry, Sebastian. I heard that you haven't been eating breakfast lately and your stomach has been acting up, so I came to bring you breakfast."

Sebastian frowned, his voice devoid of any warmth. "Just leave it there."

Isabella's face lit up with joy, and she ran towards him. She placed the pink lunchbox on the desk. Isabella's voice was soft, gentle, and sweet. "Sebastian, I remember you love tuna and ham sandwiches the most. Please try it, I hope you like it."

He looked at the exquisitely made sandwiches in the pink lunchbox, but Sebastian had no appetite. He pushed the lunchbox aside and said in a deep voice, "I have a meeting right now, I'll eat when I come back."

Isabella was somewhat disappointed but still obediently nodded. "Alright, you go ahead, I'll wait here. I won't bother you."

"There's a meeting room next door, you can wait there." After saying that, he pressed Dominic's intercom. "Take Miss Vale to the meeting room and find someone to accompany her."

Dominic acted quickly and appeared at the door in less than a minute, gesturing towards Isabella. "Miss Vale, we have some refreshments prepared in the adjacent meeting room. Elizabeth Sterling will accompany you."

Isabella looked sincerely at Dominic. "I heard that Secretary Blackwood is very kind. I would like her to accompany me."

"I'm sorry, Secretary Blackwood is the President's Chief Secretary, and she will be in the meeting as well." Dominic wasn't a fool. The President and Secretary Blackwood had been having a disagreement these days. If Isabella was allowed to come in and cause trouble, would they be able to reconcile?"
