Reversing Her Tragic Fate

Chapter 7

Veronica's POV

I woke up in Sebastian's arms. I stared at his face and that triggers me to remember the voice of her mistress.

I purposely hugged him last night when I heard him talking to someone on his phone. I heard a woman's voice and my blood boiled when it was the same voice I heard on the day of my accident, the only problem here is I don't know what she looks like.

I didn't notice that I have been staring for too long I just withdraw my stare when he opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Good morning," he uttered huskily and gave me a faint smile. I smiled back at Sebastián.

"Good morning," I greeted back and shifted my eyes in the other direction. After a while, I felt him getting off of the bed. I throw a glance in his direction and I saw him heading toward his bathroom.

I sighed heavily when he was gone from my sight and slowly get up leaning my back on the headboard of his bed.

I waited for him to be done.

"What do you want for breakfast?" he asked looking fully awake. I turned my head on him and shook my head.

"I don't do breakfast," I replied and stood up.

"You're on a diet?" he fired another question. I am not on a strict diet it is just that I am not used to eating something in the morning since I don't have time to prepare breakfast and later on my body was used to that kind of routine.

"No," I responded and headed towards his bathroom.

I look at myself in the mirror and then wash my face using cold water. I looked at my wrist.

8711

I sighed heavily and stared at my reflection.

"You can change your fate, Veronica," I uttered firmly as an encouragement to keep on moving.

I breathed deeply before coming out of the bathroom.

Sebastián wasn't in his room anymore so I decided to see if he is in the kitchen and he was there busy cooking something.

"Milk?" he offered. Every time I moved felt like a Deja Vu. He also did this when we started living together. He will offer me milk while he is busy cooking the food.

"It's almost done," he announced even though I told him that I don't eat breakfast.

When he was done preparing everything he placed a plate in front of me. I was about to protest but he already filled it with bacon, eggs, and toast bread.

I sighed heavily and was about to complain when he spoke.

"I know you don't do breakfast but now that you're living with me you have to," I know you don't do breakfast but now that you're living with me you have to,

I uttered the same words in my head. I already memorized that. He kept on repeating that word whenever I don't feel like eating. I smiled bitterly remembering those moments.

We became okay after months of living together but why did you cheat Sebastián? Why did you make me feel love while you are still in love with your other woman?

How did you do that?

A lone tear escaped from my eyes and Sebastián noticed it. He looked at me worried but I just smiled at him.

"Time of the month. I tend to be emotional whenever this time comes," I explained. He nod his head and started eating his food. I started digging in as well even though I can feel a lump in my throat which made it hard to swallow my food.

"You will visit your father today?" he asked. I stopped eating and looked at him before nodding my head.

"Once I am done with work I will drop by," he responded. I nod my head unable to find any words to prolong our conversation.

"Are you okay?" he asked worry laced on his face. I smiled at him and nod my head.

"Yes, why?" I asked, he shook his head and continued eating.

When we are done filling ourselves I volunteer to clean the kitchen but he didn't allow me.

"You can take a shower while cleaning this," he suggested. I nod my head and head back to his room.

I immediately entered the bathroom and took a quick shower afraid that he might come in any second from now.

When I am done I grabbed the towel and I wanted to slap myself because I forgot that I didn't bring any clothes with me.

I bravely walked outside while holding tightly to the towel wrapped around my body.

When I opened the door it revealed Sebastián with his furrowed brows while scanning my whole body. My cheeks heated when he did that. I pushed him away and run towards the other room.

I learned at the door and held my chest when my heart started beating erratically.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself and when my heart started beating normally I sighed.

"Stop acting like an i***t Veronica," I uttered and slapped myself.

Sebastián's POV

Something in me hardened when I saw Veronica only wrapped in a towel. I thought my thoughts about her will be gone if I took a shower but it is still her. Her image wearing only a towel is still stuck inside my mind like it was tattooed there.

"f**k this," I cursed and fixed my ties.

I walked outside my room with thoughts of her inside my mind.

I almost jump when I saw her outside my room like she is waiting for me to come out.

"Let's go?" she uttered. I nod my head and was about to head out when he stopped me while holding my chest.

"Let me fix your tie," she uttered and didn't wait for my approval. She held my tie and fixed it. I held my breath when she was inches away from me. Her smell dominated my system and I am having a hard time controlling myself.

"f**k," I cursed which made her look at me.

"Why?" she asked curiously and looked at me full of confusion in her eyes. When her hazel eyes looked at me intently I felt like I am on the verge of dying.

My breathing became heavy and my eyes landed on her lips. I remembered the kiss that we shared last night.

I am bad at controlling my thoughts so I carefully pushed her away and started walking outside.

I heard her footsteps following me but I didn't bother to look back.

When we reach the parking lot I quickly get inside my car and when she was settled down, I drove off.

"Do we have a problem Sebastián?" he asked when my car stops when the light turns red. I throw a glance at her and shook my head.

She smiled and focused her eyes on the road and stop creating another conversation.

"Who manages your company?" I asked which caught her attention. I know how much she values that company to the extent she sold herself just to get the highest position.

"Me," she answered shortly and looked at me with a creased forehead.

"I can handle it in the meantime," I suggested and I hope she agrees. The sooner I put my hands in that company the sooner I will be getting my revenge.

It will be Curtis's greatest downfall but whenever I look at Veronica I wanted to change all of my plans.

I don't know what is with her but she has the power to change all the plans that I have inside my mind.

Veronica looked at me for a few seconds deciding if she will accept my offer or not but opposite to what I am wishing to happen, Veronica disagree.

"I can manage my company Sebastián," he uttered with so much power like she has everything under control but by just looking at her I can tell that she is pretending because behind that tough woman is a weak one who is contemplating if all her decisions were right.

When we arrive at the hospital I accompanied her to go inside. Upon reaching her father's room she looked at me before opening the door.

"You can leave," she uttered coldly. I felt like Veronica is bipolar because sometimes she acted like a sweet person the next second she is cold and distant.

"Okay," I uttered and turned my back on her. I don't want to see her dad either so there is no use in insisting to came in.

I was about to head to my office when a call came in.

It is Sabrina.

"Good morning babe," she uttered energetically.

"Morning," I uttered coldly which made her turn into a needy girlfriend.

"What happened to you Sebastián?" she asked voice full of anger.

"Why?" I asked curiously what she was talking about.

"You were so in love with me but when you married that woman you started acting cold and distant," she started complaining things again which made me sigh heavily to calm myself.

"I'm just tired," I uttered as an excuse. Sabrina thought that I am in love with her when the fact is I lin love with the information she had given. She used to be helpful but now she is nothing but a nuisance.

"Visit me later please," she uttered. I took a deep breath.

"I have work Sabrina," I responded.

"I will tell everyone your plan Sebastián," she threatened which alarmed the hell out of me.

"I will visit you later," I uttered and dropped the call.

I started driving off while thinking of an effective plan to get rid of Sabrina. She is a hindrance and a pain in the ass. I can't carry her for too long.

While I am busy thinking about plans a text from Sabrina came in.

From: Sabrina

I will kill that woman if I lose you.

That was when I felt fear again. I stopped caring about things when my parents left me because I realized that no one will stay and one day they will leave me brokenhearted so it is better to stay cold and distant.

I was able to do that in the past years not until Veronica showed up and made me feel things that I am been trying to avoid.

I can no longer distinguish if I am afraid of Sabrina's text because she might interfere with my plan or is it because I am afraid that Veronica will be put at risk?
