"Good morning Ryleeanna," Savannah greeted patting the seat next to her "How did you sleep?"

"Fine, thank you. You?"

"Well it was quite relaxing but I feel as if my pillows aren't soft enough," she babbled on as I began to cut through the very funny tasting bacon that she'd made.

But then again I couldn't cook.

"Shall I change them, once I get the chance? We have some feather pillows in the storage," I questioned smiling at her, while trying to figure out why the hell she was still here.

"Oh that'd be lovely Ryleeanna, you're such an angel!" She gushed pulling me into a warm hug.

From the corner of my eye I noticed Molly shooting daggers at me.

I don't know who I disliked more, her or Audrianna?

"Good morning Aunty," Molly greeted "Rylee."

"Melinda." I slightly nodded my head, giving her a small smile.

"Where's Seb?" Molly questioned twirling her long blonde hair, then Audrianna strolled in swaying her hips.

"Yeah, I haven't seen my baby in hours." She sighed pouting.

Cringe.

"He's not your baby." Molly added smiling fakely at Audrianna who turned to glare at her.

"You're right, he's not my baby he's basically my husband." She bragged picking at her long acrylic nails. I rolled my eyes at their stupid childish argument and picked up my plate scraping out the leftovers before washing my dishes and exiting the room.

"Good morning," Olivia chirped beaming at me "Can Lex pick me up from school today? I promise I'll be good."

"Why?" I asked suspiciously, then I remembered how she'd acted around him and nodded my head slowly "You're not allowed to cause him any trouble ok?" And she nodded her head eagerly.

"Yay! Bye Rylee- the best nanny in the whole wide world!" She exclaimed picking up her school bag and running out of the house.

I just smiled and shook my head.

This child was really something else.

"Have you and Sebastian spoken since yesterday?" Lex asked, slipping his hand in mine as we walked into the building together.

"Not really." I shrugged, pushing Oliver's stroller into the lift.

I had read almost half of his diary last night, rereading some of my favourite entry's.

"I apologize for lashing out on you, yesterday. It's... personal." He sighed, pressing on a button. I watched the lift doors close and bit my lip.

Sebastian had requested for me to bring Oliver and Olive to his office to visit him.

I was so nervous.

He had requested I come around the babies nap time, so while they slept it would only be Sebastian and I.

I was so nervous.

We hadn't spoken since our disagreement in the elevator.

"I'm so nervous," I mumbled, as the elevator doors opened and we walked out. Lex still hadn't let go of my arm and I was silently praying Sebastian wouldn't see us.

He would go absolutely crazy with jealousy.

"Rylee?"

I froze as I tried to wiggle away from Lex's tight grasp.

I could feel Sebastian's dark eyes burning holes through my back as I squirmed, trying to move away from Lex, who wouldn't let me go.

He looked furious.

He narrowed his eyes at me, then looked to Lex, scowling.

"Let go." He growled, snatching me away from Lex and pulling me into his chest, "Don't touch her."

"But Sebastian, surely you don't treat all your employees like that?" Lex asked innocently, as he smirked.

"Keep on speaking to me like that and you won't be my employee for much longer." Sebastian growled, taking a step towards Lex, ready to fight him.

I placed my hand on his chest and narrowed my eyes.

Lex threw his head back and laughed, slipping his hands in his pocket and strolled away, his laugh echoing in the hallway.

"Are you two together?" He questioned, furrowing his eyebrows in anger and confusions, all I could do at that moment was roll my eyes.

"Why were you with him, Rylee?" He demanded, clutching my wrist, his eyes scanning my lips, down to my neck.

"There is nothing going on between Lex and I, happy now?" I snapped, wiggling my wrist out of his tight grasp.

"Very." He turned away and took the stroller, pushing it into his office. He pointed to the couch and gestured for me to sit down.

He took Oliver out of the buggy, while I took out Olive and began cuddling her. She loved attention.

Every one once in a while, I would notice Sebastian's dark eyes scan my body. He had been staring at me most of the time.

But I refused to talk to him.

Silence.

A deafening silence.

The only sound that could be heard was the sound of Oliver's soft snoring as he slept on Sebastian's lap.

"Rylee," He began, as he finally slammed down his pen, making Oliver stir in his sleep, "Please talk to me."

It wasn't the first time Sebastian had tried to talk to me in these past few minutes.

I also hated the silence but I couldn't give in.

"Baby, please. I'm sorry for lashing out on you earlier on and yesterday." He stood up and placed the sleeping Oliver in the stroller before walking over towards me and crouching down.

I finally spoke up, my voice was shaky and barely audible, "Sebastian.."

"Tell me you love me, I just want to hear you say it."

"Sebastian, please." I ran my fingers down his stubble.

"Say it, Rylee. Please." He pleaded, pressing his lips to my nose.

"I... love... you..." I mumbled, turning away before he could kiss me properly, "But Sebastian.."

He cut me off, shushing me, "Shhh."

He pressed his lips against mine and pushing me back onto the couch.

His hands roamed around my body, awakening all my organs. His hands were so soft, relaxing and soothing.

He thumb ran across my cheek as we pulled away from our passionate kiss, our eyes locked and we exchanged small smiles.

Yesterday, he had properly confessed his love for me, but did he mean it?

Did he really love me?

Yesterday, if he was willing to leave Audrianna for me, maybe he was still willing to leave her.

Don't give in Rylee. Stay strong.

He leaned in again, capturing my lips. His strong scent of spicy colonge filled my nose as he hungerily kissed me.

Stay strong! Fight!

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me onto his lap, so that I was straddling him.

I placed both hands on his chest, and gently pushed him away.

He let out a loud sigh, still not letting go of me.

"Sebastian, this is wrong." I reminded him, resting my forehead on his forehead.

I could feel him stiffen from beneath me, and Sebastian Jr come to life.

"I know but I can't help myself when I'm around you. You drive me fvcking crazy." He muttered, running circles on my back with his thumb.

I rested my head on his chest, leaving to his racing heart. It felt nice to know that I made him so nervous.

"I meant what I said yesterday, I do love you Rylee, I am so in love with you that it scares me." He tilted his head to the side resting it on my shoulder.

"I know Sebastian, I feel the same way.." My voice trailed off, as I looked away, "But I think we need some time apart, to really figure out what we want."

"I already know what I want." His eyes scanned my body, before meeting with my eyes.

I placed my hand on his cheek, and he shuddered at my touch, "I know what you want, Sebastian, but we need time apart, time away from each other to figure out who and what we really want."

He buried his face in my neck and wrapped his arms, tightly around my waist.

"What do you want me to do?" He mumbled.

After a long few minutes of silence, I finally spoke up, "There's a lot of things I want you to do Sebastian. But I know you won't do half of them."

"I'll do anything you want me to Rylee," He scanned my lips steadily, and as if he could read my mind, he quickly spoke up, "Except apologise to that."

I rolled my eyes, fidgeting with his long fingers, "Zak is my friend, and he's a gentlemen. He's sweet, funny and caring.."

"But..?"

I didn't say anything. There was nothing wrong with Zak, he wasn't engaged, he wasn't moody, he wasn't annoying as hell, he wasn't mean and he definetly wouldn't hurt me.

Whereas, on the other hand, Sebastian was all of that and more. He'd hurt me, but here I was in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat bump every second.

It was a cold February afternoon and Oliver, Winston and I walked across the icy grass leading us to the playground. I couldn't completely let my thoughts run wild incase Oliver tried to make a run for it.

So while my mind was on Sebastian, my eyes were on his son.

He had been through so much, leaving him would snap his heart into tiny little pieces but staying with him would break mine.

I couldn't bear to see him and Audrianna together, it killed me every time.

They couldn't remain engaged forever, at some point they'd have to tie the knot.

And the worst thing about it was that I still wanted to be with him. I still loved him. I loved him so much.

And I hated myself for that.

He was engaged for the love of God.

I felt so guilty, knowing that he was another womans man even though Sebastian claimed to love me and reassured me that there was nothing going on between Audrianna and him and it was just an engagement that benefited both of them I knew he cared about Audrianna even if it wasn't love and Audri must love him-- she was obsessed with him.

I'd often caught her just gazing at the engagement ring with love in her eyes.

How horrible will it be if she was to find out that I'd slept with her fiancè more than three times.

Oh I felt so horrible and dirty, and it's not as if I don't know his wife- I spoke to her every single day.

This has got to end now.

But just like I ended it yesterday, we would probably revive the relationship soon after.

He was like a drug and I was addicted to him.

I couldn't stay away for too long.

"Easier said than done," I mumbled aloud as I watched Oliver slide down the slide happily.

I was being so selfish.

"Rylee."

My thoughts were cut off my a smooth voice that called my name. A voice that I hadn't heard in weeks.

Jacob.

He sounded different, angry, so menacing.

"Jacob? It's er..great to see you," I smiled awkwardly trying to watch both him and Oliver at the same time.

"I see you still work for him," he began, burying his hands in his pocket and taking a step closer to me.

Winston was quick to jump to my defence, bearing his sharp teeth at Jacob, who just carelessly kicked him out of the way.

My mouth fell open.

"Excuse me Jacob, that wasn't polite at all, you could've hurt-"

"Why?"

It was just one word. Why did it make my heart beat ten times faster than it ever has before.

"I could ask you the same question, I mean you just kick-"

"Don't change the fvcking subject," he growled and I clutched Winstons collar.

"I-I don't know what you mean," I stuttered biting my lip nervously.

"I'm not supposed to be around you Rylee, or my nieces and nephew. Do you want to know why? Your stupid 'boyfriend' forbade me from stepping any closer than seven feet away from you," he took a few more steps closer until he stood right in front of me.

"W-why?" I stuttered taking a step back. Where was Oliver?

"Oh." He chuckled darkly "The little prick didn't tell you himself, I would've thought so since you spend so much time together,"

How did he know? My heart was beating so fast, I feared it would fly out of my chest.

"Maybe he whispered it in your ear while he was fvcking your brains out." He taunted.

I was speechless.

"Nothing to say? Maybe he really did fvck you senseless." He reached out to grab me.

But I slapped his hands away, "You don't know anything."

He just smirked, and grabbed my wrists, digging his sharp nails into them, "Stand up then. I haven't got all day."

I stood up, trying to pry his hand off my wrist but his grip was too tight, "Get off me, why are you doing this?"

"I am going to end Sebastian." He told me, digging his nails into deeper. My breath hitched as I struggled to breathe, it was so painful, "And you are going to watch."

"Oi!" Lex's voice rang in my ears but I couldn't move, my eyes were glued to Jacob.

Lex pushed Jacob away and threatened to put him in the hospital but Jacob seemed unfazed.

Behind Lex was Olivia who was holding Oliver's hand but I couldn't even think straight.

What the hell was going on?

"Is your man really as trustworthy as he seems?" Was all Jacob said before swaggering away.

"Hey, just ignore h-"

"Is it true?!" I demanded, Lex didn't say anything and that was the only answer I needed.

"Rylee, your wrist." He looked down to my wrist, that was spouting out blood, in every area he dug his nails into, "Those are some nasty cuts."

My wrist was still burning, but my pain was currently the last thing on my mind.

There was something Sebastian wasn't telling me.

"I'm taking you back to Sebastian," Lex announced, "He won't be very happy about this."
