Sebastian Hale wasn’t the type of man to let things spiral out of his control.
And yet, as he paced his office, jaw clenched, phone still gripped in his hand from Isabelle’s call—he felt like he had.
Her words still rang in his head.
“Are you really going to let our children think she’s their new mother?”
It had been a simple question. A quiet one. But the weight of it sat heavy on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
He should have seen this coming. He should have known Victoria would take things too far, would take an inch and turn it into a damn mile.
Sebastian ran a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. Enough was enough.
He grabbed his keys and left the office.
It was time to set things straight.
He arrived at Victoria’s apartment about half an hour later.
