Reversing Her Tragic Fate

Chapter 6

Veronica's POV

I drove back to my condo to think things through. I need to know Sebastián's mistress before my time runs out.

While I am busy thinking a call from Sebastián came.

I answered it and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello," I spoke and waited for him to say something.

"Where are you?" He asked.

"In my condo," I answered shortly.

"Text me the address I will go there," he uttered then dropped the call. My forehead creased when the call ended but despite that, I still texted him the address of my place.

Half an hour had passed before I heard my doorbell. I stood up to open the door and it revealed Sebastián wearing his casual outfit. A tight polo shirt that emphasizes his muscle and black slacks.

"Can I come in?" he asked politely so I widened the door allowing him to get inside.

"What do you want?" I asked for directions to the point afraid to waste my time in a nonsense conversation.

"I just want to check on you," he uttered and sit on the sofa. I sat across him and looked at his face.

"I am fine," I uttered and kept on staring at him.

"Glad to hear that," he responded after that it was followed by dead air.

"Do you want to live together?" I asked which made him shocked. I know it is too fast but my time is running faster. If I am closer to him then I will discover his secret much faster.

"Are you sure?" He asked unable still in shock about my suggestion. I nod my head.

This is the only plan I have for now.

"Okay then," he replied agreeing to my suggestion.

Sebastián helped me pack my things and when we are done we drove towards his unit.

"Does your Mom know about this?" He asked while carrying my luggage.

I pressed the button that he told me before shaking my head.

"I will tell her some other time," I replied. Besides Mom won't notice that I am living with Sebastián since she is too busy taking care of Dad.

"You can use the room beside mine," he uttered and I am shocked that he didn't suggest that we should share the same room.

Sebastián looks like a flirt. A man who needs a woman to satisfy his needs or maybe I am not just his type that is why he allowed me to use another room.

"Okay," I replied and walked towards it.

"If you want anything just tell me," he uttered while leaning at the door with his arms crossed to his chest.

I roamed my eyes around the room. It looks spacious but it is not my style despite the fact I don't have enough time to decorate this so I will settle living with it.

"Do you want to eat?" he asked. I am a little bit hungry since I didn't consume any food since last night so I nod my head.

" Do have any food in mind?" I tried thinking but none came in.

"I am fine with anything," I responded. Sebastián nod his head and walked towards his kitchen. I followed him and sat on the bar stool.

"How's your Dad?" he asked after opening the stove.

"Not fine," I replied shortly which made him chuckle.

"You are a cold person Veronica. I haven't seen you cry," he commented. Well Sebastián you did, and that is one of the biggest mistakes I have committed letting you see how weak I am.

"Do I have to cry?" I asked sarcastically.

"Other people would cry if they were in your position," he replied while mixing something. I watched his back as it moves.

"I'm not other people," I sighed and pour some water into a glass.

"Food is ready," he announced and placed a plate of pasta on the table. It looks delicious well what would I expect for Sebastián he is almost close to perfect except for the fact that he is a cheater.

"It looks good," I commented and took a bite. He smiled and sat across me.

"Taste good too?" Of course, it tastes good. Sebastián is a good cook I can attest to that since throughout one year of our marriage it was him who always prepare our food but I won't praise him too much.

"It is salty," I replied. He taste his food and creased his forehead.

"It tastes fine," he defended. I just raise my shoulder and took another bite.

"It tastes salty to me," he looked at me in disbelief as he watch me eat.

"But you almost finish it," and that is when I realized that I am down to my last bite.

"I'm famished," I utter an excuse but he just shook his head and smiled.

"Do you want to sleep together?" I asked. He choked on his food so I handed him a glass of water.

"I didn't expect you to say that," he stared at my face to see if I am not joking.

"Well do you want to or not?" I repeated, he looked at me intently and scanned my features.

"I want you, Veronica," he replied and leaned his face closer to mine. He claimed my lips and I wanted to slap myself for closing my eyes as I wanted it.

Sebastián's POV

When I felt her lips on mine I forgot everything. My revenge. The hatred. Everything. All I can think off is her soft lips on mine.

I held her nape and pulled her face closer. I felt her hands resting on my chest but after a while, I felt her pushing me which made me gain consciousness.

"f**k I'm sorry," I uttered while looking at her. I tried focusing on her eyes but my eyes betrayed me and they landed on her lips that is fully red.

"Sorry," I uttered again.

"It's okay," she replied and walked out.

After that, I headed toward my room and took a hot shower. I tried removing her lips from my mind but it feels like it is tattooed on my system.

"f**k this," I uttered and got out of the bathroom with an only towel hanging on my waist.

"s**t," I cursed again when I saw Veronica standing in my room wearing his silky red dress. My eyes landed on her chest since it shows some of her skin and I felt hard when I saw that she is not wearing any bra.

"A f*****g torture," I whispered.

"I'm sorry I'll just come back later," she uttered and was about to leave the room when I stopped her.

"No, stay," I uttered and quickly grabbed clothes from my cabinet. I entered the bathroom and wore a plain white shirt and cargo shorts.

I check myself in the mirror first before coming out.

"What are you doing Sebastián?" I asked myself while staring at my reflection.

I took a deep breath and then came out. I saw Veronica sitting at the edge of the bed. I walked closer to her and occupied the left side of the bed. Everything felt uncomfortable and torture.

"Do you want me to turn off the lights?" I asked. She shooked her head and lay beside me. I hitched my breath and my heart started beating erratically.

" Veronica," I called her name. I saw her head looking in my direction.

"Do you love your father?" I asked because the way she acted isn't normal. It looks like she had no emotion at all. I have never seen her cry.

"Yes," she answered shortly.

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't," she added. I turned my head and stared at her eyes.

"Do you know who he is?" I asked which made her forehead crease and looked at me full of confusion in her eyes.

"What kind of question is that?" she asked with her furrowed eyebrows. I shook my head and smiled.

"Nothing," I responded and faced the ceiling.

"Where are your parents Sebastián?" she asked the question that I have been avoiding for so long. I hate questions about my parents it brings back painful memories

"They died when I was a kid," I replied.

"I'm sorry," I smiled and shook my head.

"Don't be. I grew up as a fine man so I bet they are proud of me," I chuckled upon complimenting myself.

"They are," she replied sincerely.

Whenever I am around Veronica I tend to forget t the hatred that I have towards his family. I have to remind myself every day that he is the daughter of the man that took everything that I have.

"Why do you want to marry me?" She asked, I looked at her again and stared into her eyes.

"For connection," I answered which made her smile.

"I guess we are using each other," she uttered with a silly smile plastered on her face. I nod my head.

"Yeah, we are using each other," you are using me to save your spot in the company while I am using you to get revenge.

After that, she fell asleep so I closed myself as well. My sleep was interrupted when a call came in, it is Sabrina.

"Babe is it true that you are living with that woman?" I looked at Veronica's side and when I saw her fast asleep as spoke.

"For the meantime," I responded but Sabrina couldn't understand it. She kept on ranting nonsense things.

After a while I felt Veronica's movement, she moved closer to mine and hugged my body. She buried her head in my neck and I lost my breath when she did that.

" Sebastián," Sabrina called me hysterically but my mind is occupied by Veronica's presence. She started planting soft kisses on my neck and I can't help but moan when she did that.

"What are you doing Sebastián?" Sabrina asked fuming mad. I ended the call and focused my attention on Veronica.

"Is she dreaming?" I asked and caressed her hair. Her hug tightened and I can't help myself but to hugged her back.

"If you weren't her daughter I might fall for you," I whispered and kissed her head before dozing off to sleep.
