*Sebastian*

*Earlier on that very same day*

"We have a deal Mr Reynolds." Misha Laval agreed, rising to his feet and outstretching his hand.

I eagerly took his hand in mine and shook it, beaming widely at him, "Thank you so much."

"It was hardly a problem, you've become a lot more calm these past few months," he raised a skeptical eyebrow, "You're a better man, easier to do buisness with now."

"Thanks?" I replied, unsure of whether it was a complement or not, but to be honest, I couldn't really care.

I just wanted to tell Rylee. Tell her that I could end the engagement with Audri at the very second.

"All the best Reynolds, we should be able to start buisness next week Tuesday." Misha Laval explained, brushing out his suit, and turning to the exit, his men following behind him.

"Until then. Thank you Laval."

I watched him as he opened the door and took the first step out of my office, before pausing and turning to face me, "Don't thank me Reynolds, thank that nanny of yours, if she hadn't begged me to consider your work then I wouldn't be here and you wouldn't be standing there in a suit worth more than my mother's car."

"I'll thank her." I grinned, closing the door behind him and his men, and slumping to the ground, the smile not once leaving my face.

"Audrianna," I called, climbing up the stairs and sticking my head up, looking through the open doors. Rylee wasn't home yet. "Audrianna." I called again.

"I'm here." She called out quietly, and I turned around, only to see her sitting on the couch, her eyes a bloodshot red.

"Thank God, Audrianna, we need to talk." I informed her, standing in front of her and taking her hand in mine.

"Sebastian?"

I raised her hands to my lips and lightly pecked it, "I'm sorry," I whispered, sliding off the engagement ring, "I can't do this anymore."

Tears began to fall from her eyes like a waterfall.

"B-b-but I need you, Sebastian please." She begged, sobbing even harder, "We can work this out."

"I'm so sorry, I can.. er.. pay you if you like." I suggested, slipping the ring in my pocket and taking a step backwards.

"That's not what I want, please Sebastian we can make this work." She continued begging, but I shook my head apologetically, "I want to be with you. Please."

"I'm sorry." I repeated, taking out my wallet.

"It's because of Rylee isn't it?" She asked, using her sleeves to wipe her tears. I quickly took out my hankerchief and handed it to her.

I couldn't be bothered to deny it, my cheeks had already changed colour after she mentioned Rylee's name, so I just nodded.

She sighed and leaned backwards, "How long have you guys been going on for?"

"I could ask the same about you and Lex." I replied hastily and she rolled her eyes and took a deep breath before releasing it.

"We aren't together anymore," she cried, burying her hands in her face, "I ended it with him, just this morning." She began crying hysterically, and I just stood there awkwardly.

"There there." I awkwardly patted her back, not exactly sure what to do.

"Please don't cry." But she began to cry even harder, while I comtined to pat her head. God I didn't have the slightest clue what to do. Where was Rylee when you needed her. I ran a hand through my hair, not exactly sure what to do with a crying Audrianna. I'd never seen her cry before so all this was so new to me. I didn't know if I should hug her, or continue patting her head. Maybe she'd feel better if I got her ice-cream.

Yeah, that'd work, crying girls love ice-cream.

I took a step away from her and walked into the kitchen, trying to ignore her silent sobbing. She was making me feel so guilty, but I knew that this was something that I had to do.

Audrianna Montreal needed to go now.

I opened up the freezer and pulled out Ben&Jerry's Milk and Cookies, ice-cream and reached out to grab a spoon. Perfect.

From my back pocket, my personal phone began to vibrate.

"What now?" I grumbled, dumping the icre-cream on the counter and taking out my phone, checking the I.D. caller. My Love.

I instantly pressed the phone to my ear, excited to tell her about my new singleness, that we could finally be together and happy.

"Is this..erm.. 'daddy'..?" The manly voice came as a surprise to me, this was definitely not Rylee but in fact a man who had Rylee's phone. But why?

"Sebastian Reynolds, yes?" I question slightly squeezing my phone frantically. Why did he sound like this, why did he sound so serious? Was this a prank call?

"We are calling on behalf of Rylee Jordan and presumed daughter who have been involved in an accident, near estates around Hammersmith," The voice informed me, and at that very moment my heart stopped beating, my head began spinning, "They've been rushed to Charing Cross Hospital, where-."

I hung up the phone. I hung up the damn phone.

My head was spinning, I felt ill and dizzy. I couldn't take it anymore, everything was going well and then this had to happen, something bad always has to happen to me. Rylee, Olive, Lex, if anything happened to them, God I didn't even know what I was going to do, they meant ao much to me.

Olive, my little baby girl, the last piece of Olive that remained, her warming smile.

Rylee, my love who had stuck with me through everything. The light of my life.

Lex, my most trustworthy and loyal friend, second to Josh, a friend whos stuck by me through thick and thin.

I grabbed my coat and through it on, grabbing my keys and ignoring Audri's calls for me to come back, for me to explain. I

I ran out to the car and jumped inside, I froze for a moment of two, trying to catch my breath. My hand was shaking against the steering wheel as I tried to calm myself.

My child and the love of my life could be dying in the hospital, I need to be there.

I couldn't loose Rylee, I just couldn't. It would kill me, and if anything happened to Olive, god, I don't even know what I'd do.

I started the engine and began speeding off to Charing Cross Hospital.

I arrived at the hospital after almost five whole minutes of driving the quickest that I'd ever driven. If anything happened to Olive or Rylee,

"God, please let them be alright." I quietly prayed, as I rushed inside the hospital, ignoring the millions of qustions the paparazzi were bombarding me with, as I pushed past them.

"Mr Reynolds who is this woman to you?"

"Mr Reynolds, who was that baby in the car? Was it yours?"

"Mr Reynolds can we get a quick description of how you're feeling right now?"

"Do you belive that they are still alive and healthy?"

I entered the hospital, the questions still buzzing through my head as I ran to the reception, demanding that they let me see Olive instantly. The receptionist seemed reluctantant and insisted I answered questions to who, and how I was related to Olive.

"This is my baby girl we are talking about! You have to let me see her." I demanded, losing the little remaining patience that I had left.

"Okay sir, but please just calm down." She frowned as I rolled my eyes, "Your daughter is located in the nursery, with the other babies." She informed me.

"And Rylee Jordan?" I demanded, making her roll her eyes.

"Please?" She added, and I growled.

"This is the love of my life we're talking about. If you don't answer my fvcking question, I swear to-."

"Resting in RW-205." She rushed out, taking a step back from me.

"And Alexus Brighton?"

"The male is in RW-215." I let out the breath that I had been holding in, before rushing off to the nursery.

"Hey baby," I greeted Olive, as I sat down on a nearby chair and kissed her forehead, where the plaster had been placed. My poor baby.

"Dadada," She mumbled sleepily, as I once again pressed my lips to her forehead and kissed directly under her mini side fringe.

"Yes, dada is here." I mumbled, wrapping her blanket tighter around her body, "And Dada loves you very much, and he's so happy that you're alive and healthy."

"Dada," she repeated, her eyes closing slightly and soon enough she was sound asleep on my chest. I was surprised that she was able to fall asleep while all this racquet was going on around us but then again, she'd just been in an accident, she must've been exhausted.

"Excuse me sir," A nurse interrupted my deep thoughts, "Her crib is over there, if you'd like me to put her down and go get something to eat, you can always come back again." She smiled widely and I returned the small smile, standing up and handing Olive to her. I lowered my lips and planted a small kiss on her forehead.

I turned around to go, glancing back as the nurse gently lay Olive in the crib, before rushing off to go and see Rylee.

I managed to find Rylee in under a minute, but we couldn't be loud since the ward was filled with sleeping people, both young and old.

Her eyes were closed, and one arm was rested on her forehead while the other one was laying on the bed, a small cast wrapped around her wrist and her hair tied into a incredibly messy bun, but she still managed to look so beautiful.

If anything was to happen to her, I don't know if I would be able to live with myself.

I was all my fault, I should've convinced her to stay home, I should've heightened security-.

"Rylee, I am so sorry, it's all my fault, I should've heightened security or never even taken you out to that stupid dance in the first place." I took a deep breath before continuing, "And I know you probably can't hear me, but I love you so fvcking much Rylee Jordan and just the thought of losing you is killing me, please wake up, baby. I just want to see those lovely brown eyes of yours and know that you're alive and healthy."

"I don't know if I say it too much, or maybe I don't say it enough, but I love you more than words can describe. You mean so much to me. You are my everything." I pressed my lips against her forehead and rested my head on the bed, watching her sleep.

She was so beautiful.

"I love you too." She whispered, startling me, she used her free hand to pat the side of her bed, gesturing for me to come over.

"You heard all that?!" I asked frantically, internally panicking.

She giggled softly and nodded, "I thought it was cute."

"Fvck, Rylee." I swore, earning a glare from a passing nurse, "This is all my fault and I'm so sorry."

"Don't apologise. This wasn't your fault, if I had just gone home like Lex advised, then none of us would be here." She frowned, still patting the space next to her. I walked over and plopped down, hoping that I hadn't hurt her.

"This definetly isn't your fault." I stated firmly stroking her hair, "I dragged you into this mess, Rylee baby, and I'm so sorry, you deserve better." I ran my thumb along her collarbone. I don't deserve her, she's perfect, "If anything happened to you or Olive, God, I don't know what I'd do. I was so worried."

"Sebastian, don't blame yourself, It was whoever was driving that cars fault, and there's no denying it. He had clearly saw the car coming and still drove on at full speed." She sighed, lifting up her eyes so they met mine.

"...Do you think it was Jacob?" She asked so quietly, it was barely audible. If I wasn't so close to her, I wouldn't have heard.

Jacob? No. He hated me, but he would never hurt Olive, would he?

I shook my head, no, they were cousins for Christ sake. No sane man would want to hurt an innocent 10 month old.

"I just thought.. I got this text minutes before we crashed." She attempted to grab her phone, but I quickly reached over and took it by myself, not wanting Rylee to feel any sort of pain anywhere. She smiled as I handed her the phone.

She quickly typed in her password and opened up the text from an unknown number, showing me both the text and the picture. I re-read over it like 19 times before turning to face her. Her eyes were glassy, filled with unshed tears, she was trying to blink them away, trying to appear strong in front of me.

She didn't have to keep in her emotions, Rylee was one of the strongest people, I've ever met.

"Who sent this to you?" I demanded, clutching the phone so tightly it almost broke in half.

She didn't reply.

"Who. Sent. This. To. You?" I repeated angerily.

She shook her head sadly, "Please don't tell me this is true. Please don't tell me she's pregnant."

"I-I don't know." I stuttered taking this news in, "I-I didn't even know she was.."

I had read the text over twenty times, but hadn't registered the meaning. Audrianna Montreal was pregnant, but who was the father?

"You're the father? Please don't tell me you're the father." She whispered, "Oh you are, aren't you? Oh I can't-."

"Rylee." I called, taking a deep breath, "I have never slept with Audrianna, never." Just the thought of it was making me feel uncomfortable. "I'm just surprised, that she's pregnant, I mean I just broke things off with her like less than an hour ago."

"You did what?!" She exclaimed, then used her free hand to cover her mouth, "Oh Sebastian!"

"I want a relationship with you Rylee, I don't want us to be hidden anymore." I leaned forward and gently pressed my lips against hers, kissing her softly, "I love you, and I want the whole world to know that you're mine."

"Ooh, I'm going to have to tell Noire, she's been a Sylee shipper since day 1. She'll be so happy." Rylee beamed, as I leaned forward and stole another kiss from her.

"Sylee? I was thinking more Rybastian or maybe even Rebastian." She scrunched up her nose at my name suggestions and shook her head, arguing that Sylee was the best.

Sylee it is then.

*

I ended up taking Rylee's phone home with me that night.

I didn't want to leave her side, just in case anything else happened. I enjoyed watching her sleep, seeing her so peaceful, knowing that she was alive and safe.

After showing the text message to Lex who got away with only a broken leg and a few scars here and there, we'd both come to the conclusion that there was a 20% chance it was Jacob, the other 20% were my mother, The 'D' on the note, My mother in law, or an unknown person who had something against either, Me, Olive, Rylee or Lex.

Lex gave me the number of detective, who was very good at tracking down phone numbers, and he was going to track down this number and I'll put a stop to this once and fore all.

Whoever was behind this was going to have to face me.
