Chapter 10 - 100.000 Dollars in Debt

Sebastian Grey

I'm guessing Isabelle is having a great time with Elijah because she came home the day after his birthday. She came home just to get ready to attend charity event that I will attend too.

Her room will be ready tomorrow because there was some problems in her bathroom so she's still getting ready in my room. She's wearing a long black dress with gold chains as the strap. It's backless too, if I might add. She already has her makeup on and her hair on a bun.

"I'll be home late tonight." I said and Isabelle looked at me through the mirror.

"Okay." She said as she put on her earrings.

"I'll be going first, see you there." I said as I checked myself one last time before going out.

"Okay." I went downstairs and I got into my car. My chauffeur drove me to the venue and I was greeted by the head of the organization. He thanked me for coming and led me inside. The staff showed me my table and gave me my number for the bidding.

Michael came and he sat beside me. He looked so tired and he didn't talk as much like usual.

"Isabelle came, she's with Franco." Michael said without any energy. I turned to see Isabelle walking in while talking to Franco. I know that they're partners in some business deals so it's not that weird to see them together.

The staff led them both to the table beside mine. She glanced at me for a second and then continued to talk to Franco.

"I'm so tired, I should have just send my secretary here." Michael said as he leaned his body back to the chair.

"You can go home once you donate some money." I said and he chuckled nodding.

"Good idea." He said as he closed his eyes. I was going to say something to Michael when someone gently poke my shoulder. I turned to see Isabelle gesturing me to follow her. I got up and followed her outside the ballroom towards a janitors room.

"What?" I asked.

"They.. put my name as Isabelle Grey. How did that happen?" She said and I raised my eyebrows.

"I never put your name on the list, there's no way Cole would put that in." I said and Isabelle sighed.

"I think it's better for me to go home, someone must have put the-" Her eyes widen when she realized something. "Gramps, he must have.. put my name." Isabelle hissed.

"I'll send you 500.000 dollars after this, you can donate under your name." She said as she took out her phone to call Lia.

"Just go home, I'll take care of it." I said and she nodded. She walked out from the room and I called Cole to fix the mess because no one can know that we both are married to each other.

I walks out from the room to go back to the ballroom. I saw Isabelle walking out from the lobby.

That was a close one, if she kept staying in there.. they might say her name and they will wonder why the hell she has my last name as hers.

Isabelle Orsino

It's already midnight and I can't sleep. I decided to just wait for Sebastian to come home. I sat in the living room and laid on the sofa listening to my audiobook.

After an hour and a half, Sebastian came home. He walked into the house and I can tell right away that he's tipsy. He was having so much fun that he came home drunk. He smiled when he saw me.

"What a weird feeling to see my wife waiting for me." He said as he plopped beside me.

"You're drunk."

"Drunk but still sober." He said as he raised his index finger.

"What were you doing?" He asked as he turned to me. I chuckled seeing him like this because drunk Sebastian is such a rare sight to see.

"I was just listening to an audiobook."

"How boring.. I donated your 500.000 dollars already and I put it under your name, Isabelle Orsino."

"Thanks."

"Good thing that you knew about your name earlier, it won't be good if they know about your name." He chuckled as he leaned his head to my shoulder.

"Yeah, that was close."

"How was Elijah's birthday? How many people came to his party?" He asked.

"You owe me 100.000 dollars, you should respect my privacy." I said and he glared at me.

"I'll pay you tomorrow, you should answer the question." He hissed and I chuckled.

"It was fun, it's just the two of us." I said truthfully.

"That's not a birthday party, that's a honeymoon. What did you two do?"

"Sebastian, we're not going into this topic." I sighed as he started to lean his body to me.

"You know.. sometimes I wondered.. why the hell didn't you choose Elijah? You're dragging me into this and if one day there's something wrong, I will for sure blame you for the damage that you've caused." He bursted angrily and that made me turn to him.

"You're too drunk." I said and he rolled his eyes. He got up from the sofa and walked upstairs to his room.

"How I wish he would forget all of this in the morning."

Sebastian Grey

I woke up with the biggest headache, I sat up from my bed and found some medicine on the side table. I took it and grabbed the glass of water too.

"How are you feeling?" I turned to see Isabelle walking towards me.

"Bad headache."

"Just want to let you know that your granddad called us to go to have lunch with him. You can sleep until 10, I'll wake you up." She said as she grabbed the empty glass and the rest of the medicine.

"Don't forget to wear the ring." I reminded her.

"Okay."

"I'll transfer you the 100.000 dollars tomorrow." I said because I remembered everything.

"I'll let it slide this time, you don't need to send me the money."
