Married to the COLD CEO

CHAPTER 17 - AGREEMENT & PROMISES

PRESENT DAY:

As Sebastian was trying to figure out where Theresa could be, his feet somehow lead him just a bit outside of the Resort’s main facility. It was a gated way with the door unlocked.

Without second thoughts Sebastian went over to take a look what’s behind the gate.

As soon as he saw the man made stairs that was present a few meters from the gate, Sebastian immediately knew Theresa was there.

It was a mini hill of nature made rocks, with the perfect view of the beach and Nation A’s main city.

Sebastian then climbed the few steps as he took deep breaths every step he took. He does not know how he will be able to talk to Theresa after what he has done earlier.

The moment he reached the top, sitting on the ground looking afar was Theresa, still in her wedding gown.

Sebastian then sighed a deep relief as he softly mumbled “My Theresa.” Just enough for him to hear alone.

He then walked closer to her and slowly sat beside Theresa and to her shock and amazement Theresa was startled as she hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Se- Sebastian? Ho- how did you find me here?” Theresa asked in shock.

Sebastian took the handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to Theresa as he answered. “I just felt like you are here, this seems to be the only place I can think of you will be here in the entire island. Just like the hills.” Sebastian explained as he looked at the City across them, it was still afternoon but the sun was slowly setting down.

“Why did you leave the resort and not tell anyone where you are?”

“I- I actually tried to text you but I somehow managed to drop my phone when I heard someone coming my way. I- I hurriedly left and dropped my phone.” Theresa answered as she bowed her head.

Sebastian then took the phone from his pocket and handed it to her. “Wyatt saw this at the back door.”

“Thank you.”

“Of all the people, you thought of texting me?” Sebastian asked curiously as he somehow felt warm in his heart.

Theresa kept quiet for a moment as she looked through her phone again as if thinking deeply.

“Yes. I- I made a personalized message for you. But-“ Theresa paused as she deleted the message.

“Oh, I see. Why do you have to text it, why not tell me upfront instead?” Sebastian asked as he knew Theresa has a habit of writing her true feelings instead of saying it personally.

“I was just mad and disappointed; I was thinking and expecting too much. But don’t worry I have come to realize where I belong, I might have just crossed the boundaries.” Theresa answered back as she bowed her head down.

What Theresa did not know was that Sebastian was able to read the message before even finding her. He knew Theresa’s phone password and tried if it was still the same but to her surprise, she never changed it. It was their birthdates that Theresa combined. But upon opening it, he saw the unfinished message Theresa typed for him.

It actually broke his heart when Theresa mentioned about divorcing her, much more when Theresa apologized for her so-called shortcomings. All along she thought she was the problem, but in reality it was him- it was him all along because of his dad.

“Well, let me just get things straight. I promised your dad, everyone who witnessed the ceremony earlier and in front of God. I will not be divorcing you, unless you will be the one to do so. I will be loyal to you and you can take my word. But you can’t demand time, love and care from me. You know how the business works and I don’t have those luxuries. I will let you know of my whereabouts and it’s up to you if you will tell yours. I am not prohibiting you to whatever you will be doing with your time and life may it be going to the company or seeing other guys. You can’t nag to me over some petty things, and you can’t tell me when I should be home. Rest assured I will be coming home to our house everyday as long as I am in Nation A. If you have something to tell me, you can’t just call me but you can text me. If it is important you may call Rupert.” Sebastian paused as she looked at Theresa who was somehow lost in words.

“Do I make myself clear Theresa? If I can think of something along the way, I will just tell you. And if you have something else to tell me now to counter with the things I am saying now then tell me now.” Sebastian added.

“Well- nothing. B-but I can also a-assure you I will be loyal to you a-and will not do a-anything st-stupid that m-might anger y-you.” Theresa stuttered as she tried to say out her words. “I- I will try m-my best to be useful and w-wont come your way b-between work and whatever y-you want.” Theresa added as she gave Sebastian a faint smile.

"You don't have to. I'm sorry about earlier also.” Sebastian suddenly spoke.

Hearing the things that Sebastian said just now, about him being loyal to her and that he will not divorce her and most especially apologizing to her gave Theresa a light of hope that maybe if she work hard to support him and be with him then maybe just maybe Sebastian will love and accept her back.

“Apologies for worrying you all as well.” Theresa answered as Sebastian stood up.

"We better go back now so they won't suspect that you were gone, also it's getting dark already." Sebastian spoke as he reached out his hand to help Theresa stand up.

Theresa took it and stood up as well. With her big plump ball gown, getting down the stairs is a challenge especially now she is wearing slippers. So Sebastian was left with no choice but to assist her.

As soon as they reach the resort vicinity, Sebastan noticed the dirt in Theresa's gown and some hair got loose as well. He was silently scanning through her body for any signs of injury too, but for Theresa she can only feel the coldness of Sebastian.

When they reach back to the resort, Theresa requested to pass by the back door as Sebastian lead the way back to her room where a stylist, Cindy and Emily where waiting.

The moment Cindy saw Theresa with Sebastian both her and Emily took a sigh of relief that she is safe and unharmed.

Emily then assisted Theresa inside her room while Sebastian stayed outside.

Before Sebastian could leave, Cindy called him out.

"Sebastian?"

Sebastian stopped and looked back as he faced Cindy.

"Thank you for finding her. I don't know how you do it but, somehow I knew you are the only one who can do that."

Sebastian did not answer and only nodded. As he was about to leave Sebastian added something.

"I will change and I will be back in 15 minutes to pick her up, make sure she is ready by that time we are already late with the schedule."

"Will make sure she is ready by then." Cindy answered as Sebastian left in a hurry.

‐---------------------------------------‐-----------------

Inside Theresa's room as she was being changed and styled again by her stylist, Theresa got curious of what was happening.

"I don't remember having another dress and how did you know i need to be retouched?" Theresa asked Emily curiously.

"Ms. Theresa, we were given instructions by Mr. Sebastian. He was the one who had everyhting prepared."

It's true that Sebastian was the one who instructed them, in fact even before Sebastian found her, he has already have them on standby.

In fact the dress she is currently wearing is a cocktail version of her wedding dress and it was requested by Sebastian together with her tiara.

As she was getting styled, she was lost in her thought when something suddenly hit her and remembered something.

"Yes, I should probably ask him later." Theresa thought to herself.

When Cindy arrived inside the room, Theresa was almost done, and Cindy was happy to see it.

"Theresa, what happen? Did he hurr you? Where were you? You know you scared the hell out of all of us!" Cindy suddenly bombarded her with questions.

"I know and I'm sorry. I just needed to be alone, but I am fine now." Theresa answered as she paused. "He did not do anything, in fact he was nice to me back there. We wetr able to talk."

"That's great! So you both are okay already?" Cindy asked curiously.

"Not really- I mean not the okay I wanted to be. But atleast, I'll just have to work a bit more perhaps" Theresa answered as she smiled faintly.

But suddenly Cindy embraced her tight. "He doesn't deserve you at all, but remember no matter what we are always here for you. whatever you are feeling we will always try to fill that gap." Cindy spoke giving Theresa reassurance.

Theresa did nit answer as she sighed and break off from the embrace.

"We better go out now, Sebastian said he will pick you up. You know he hates waiting, I am sure he is already outside." Cindy added as she fixed some tiny details in Theresa' dress.

And true to what Cindy thought, Sebastan was indeed waiting outside already. But this time he was on the phone doing business again as Rupert giving him documents.

Theresa felt sad with what Sebastian was doing, but since Sebastain stated clearly that she can't ask for time and care from him so Theresa quietly waited instead.

But Cindy was not liking what she was seeing. As she started to get pissed, Cindy then cleared her throat as loud as she could that Sebastian and Rupert immediately looked back as Sebastian heart started to fluster very fast.
