Chapter 13 - Privacy

Sebastian Grey

"Cheers!" We all cheered to the Elite Club 40th birthday. I drank my champagne in one shot and continued to talk to people.

"Hanna!" I heard someone calling my mother-in-law.

"Jess! It's been so long! I thought you're still in London, is Rosie here?" Hanna asked.

"Yes, she's already with Isabelle. I heard she has a boyfriend already and never thought it would be Elijah." Hanna turned to me instantly but she quickly turned to her friend.

"So.. are you here for good now?" Hanna asked trying to get off the topic of Isabelle having a boyfriend. I grabbed another champagne and went to find her.

I walked pass a lot of people and found her at the corner of the ballroom chatting with Rosie. They're both are talking and laughing with each other. I decided to let my wife have a good time.

"Hello, Sebastian." I turned to see Gregory who happened to be my friend from college. He gave me a hug and I chuckled.

"You're late, as usual." I said and he nodded.

"My wife, she's mad at me for not keeping my promise. I had to buy her flowers and chocolates." He said as he turned to see Yumeko who happens to be my friend too from college. They both started dating on the 2nd year and got married 3 years after finishing college.

"Why did you do exactly?"

"Well.. promised her we will have a holiday tomorrow but had to push it until next week. She's pretty much giving me a whole lecture of not spending time with her as much." Greg chuckled.

"You just love her too much."

"That's why you need to get a wife, brother." He said as he patted my shoulder.

"Sebastian!" Yumeko squealed and hugged me.

"How are you, Yumeko?" I asked as I pulled away.

"Well, I'm doing great as usual. Still have an annoying husband." She said as she turned to Greg glaring at him.

"How about you? It's been what? Like 2 months?" She said as she turned to Greg again.

"About 2 or 3 months." Greg said.

"That long?"

"So.. where is she now?" Yumeko looked around.

"What?"

"No girlfriend?" I laughed at her question because she always does that. She always teased me for never able to keep a long term relationship. She will faint if I tell her that I'm married already. She for sure will have her eyes pop out when she knows who I'm married to.

"Nope."

"You suck." Yumeko said and Greg laughed.

"You know.. these days, it's quite boring." Greg said all of the sudden.

"Why?"

"I need something refreshing, like a news of you settling down or maybe.. you buy a cat or a dog." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"You really pray something like that will happen to me, huh?"

"Oh come on, you live a boring life." Really?

"Really boring" Yumeko added.

"Really? You too?" I turned to her.

"You hang out with Michael too much." She said and I chuckled.

"Yeah. You hang out with Michael too much." Greg nodded.

"I heard Isabelle is dating Elijah, but these kind of news is just not as fun. It's too predictable." Yumeko said as she looked at other direction.

"Honey, what do you expect? If you want a fun news, it would be something like Sebastian dating Isabelle. That would break the whole America when everyone knows that they both could kill each other." I wanted to laugh at his statement. I really want to see his reaction when he knows that I'm married to that woman.

"I hear you all talking about me behind my back." I turned to see Isabelle standing behind me with a smirk plastered on her face. Yumeko hugged her.

"Hello Isabelle." Greg greeted.

"So.. you all gossiping about me huh?" Isabelle chuckled.

"We were just talking, if you and Sebastian date, it would break the whole America." Yumeko said and Isabelle turned to me.

"That's true. I mean.. that would be such a breaking news." Isabelle chuckled.

"She's dating Elijah, that's already a breaking news." I said and Isabelle's face dropped. Before Isabelle could say anything, the MC started to get our attention. Greg and Yumeko were greeted by other people and I turned to Isabelle.

"So you're dating Elijah now?" I whispered.

"Dating or not, I think you should respect my privacy." She whispered back and then she walked away. The event continued until I decided to go home first because I'm so tired.

Work was piling up so bad because I took a few days off to take care of Isabelle. I need to go to Seattle tomorrow for a short meeting and comeback to LA again.

"You're really hiding your own marriage in front of everyone huh?" I stopped when I heard my mother-in-law's voice.

"I thought you already knew about it." I said as I turned to her.

"She deserves better, how come you don't even want to admit your own wife?"

"Then she should have not pick me in the first place." I said and I got into the car to go back home.

Isabelle Orsino

Rosie and I went clubbing and Rosie has always the one who drag me to have fun with her. She's a wild girl who loves to party. I turned my head to see Rosie making out with a random guy near the toilet.

"Rosie is having fun." I turned to the man beside me and he pulled me to sit on his lap. He started to kiss my neck and I could feel his bulge on my thigh. His hands started to roam all over my body and I raised my dress to give him access to my thigh.

He then made me stand up and he brought me to the corner of the club. He gestured the guards to close the curtains and he made me sit on his lap again but this time facing him. He slowly pulled my strap down to kiss my shoulder. He slowly trailed kisses to my breast when suddenly.. "Isabelle."
