Cold, ruthless, and determined to make her pay, Sebastian tells himself he'll never let Isabel close to his heart again. Yet the more he tries to break her, the more he risks falling into the same dangerous passion that once consumed them.

Chapter 5

Isabel Morgan

When I arrived at the lesson early the following day, he was nowhere to be seen.

When I checked the time, it was 7:25.

Dick.

I waited for him by moving to the fifth bench. He was still nowhere to be found at 7:30. He won't be here today, so I get irritated and rest my head on the table before shutting my eyes and going to beauty sleep.

I fell asleep as soon as I shut my eyes. I could also envision myself acting like a goddess during the opening ceremony.

Oh my God! I was aware of it! I was a genius from birth!

I was the center of attention, and everyone was applauding for me.

"Thank you." Thank you. I gave my fans a wave.

"Viv, you are amazing!" From the audience, someone shouted.

"You are amazing, girl!" Someone else yelled.

"Oh, Viv!" I'll give my life for you! Another man yelled.

Yes, my fan base is really large.

Suddenly, I surpassed Ariana Grande's 371 million Instagram followers.

Oh my God! I had no desire for such renown.

But it's okay, I'll take your blessings since I'm a decent guy.

"Viv!" "Viv!"

"Viv!"

"Isabel, wake up!"

I opened my eyes to the sound of grating voices and constant shaking.

This is who the fuck?

When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was in the classroom and that Abby was standing to my right, talking to me nonstop.

I took in my surroundings.

Did I not attend my concert?

In front of me, Abby clicked her fingers and said, "Earth to Isabel Morgan."

Oh no! I'm still stranded here.

The unknown Viv.

I rested my back comfortably on the bench and closed my eyes.

"Did you guys talk?" I heard Abby whispering.

"He is absent." I stretched my neck in response.

"No. In front of you is him. Once more, she whispered.

When I opened my eyes, I saw him seated in front of me, resting on the bench with his arms crossed and listening to the teacher speak.

I inquired, "When did he come?"

"You two didn't speak? "What the fuck?"

"He failed to appear. He left me. I awaited his arrival. I returned her whisper.

"Really?"

I gave a nod.

"How long did you wait?"

"5 minutes."

She gave me a look. "You waited for 5 minutes?"

I raised my eyebrows. "I didn't realize when I fell asleep."

"He didn't wake you up?" She inquired.

In denial, I shook my head.

"Aww... that's so cute, he didn't want to disturb you." She shouted in a whisper.

Really?

As I considered what she had said, I began to scratch my neck.

Really?

No. That will never occur. This girl always gives me hope, but Sebastian always dashes that hope.

So you'd better not consider it.

I made an effort to pay attention to what the instructor was saying. The keyword is trying.

I couldn't, of course. How could my eyes not betray me and stare at him while he was right in front of me?

That's back. It's quite alluring. It will be so much joy to scratch his back during intercourse.

No, no, no. Pervy Viv, get out of here.

Inhale. Exhale.

In Saint Viv. Viv is a pervert.

Everyone was packing as the first half came to a close.

Simply give him a call. It's simple. He's just a man.

No. He's the one. Sebastian Briggs is his name.

Give him a call. Defy your anxiety.

Make a poke. Make a poke.

I gingerly prodded his back. His head tipped back a little.

"Hi. Are we talking about this? I inquired.

Brody gave me the same startled expression Ashton did.

All right. It's awkward.

Sebastian glanced at the time before turning back to face me. "11:30 will be okay?"

"Yeah, sure."

"In the music room." He finished.

I simply nodded.

Once more, he turned around.

But hold on. I'm not sure. I called him once more.

Poke poke.

He followed suit, turning his head slightly in my direction.

"I have a question."

"What?"

"Did you miss your bus?" I inquired.

"No." Jesus! Find out why. Because regular folks do that.

Brody was staring at us once more. I smiled at him and went on, "Was your bus late?"

"No. "7:30, right?" "Why the one-word answers!"

He gave a nod.

"Where were you then? Early in the morning, I was waiting for you.

He came to a halt.

It was only a basic question, damn it. You don't need to feel so uneasy. I apologize for asking.

"I forgot about the meeting."

"You forgot?" Really, what the fuck? For him, I got up at 6:30! "And he forgot!" I went with Sawyer, who greeted me below. "I'll murder you! I promise I will. How could you? Sebastian, I was waiting.

"It slipped my mind."

I lay my back on my seat as he stepped forward. If I could, I would hurl my bottle at him.

The first period started when the lecturer walked in. Abby, who was sitting next to me, and I were conversing. She was displaying some reels to me.

Sawyer approached Sebastian at the conclusion of the second session. "Didn't get to talk to you for two days, I had an important thing to talk about?" he remarked, giving Sebastian a back pat.

And Abby and I heard him.

Sebastian was staring at me out of the corner of his eye.

What's the matter with you?

You came, but you didn't meet me. What's happening?

Sawyer took a seat next to Sebastian and struck up a conversation.

Abby murmured in my ears, "I told you he didn't wake you up because you were in a deep slumber. "How adorable!"

Really?

Not at all. Not feasible.

No hope.

Abby is a jerk. She is a negative role model. Don't pay attention to her.

After class, I stayed at the hostel while my friends returned. There were many people in the music room when I visited. I sat in a corner of the room and read a book on my phone while wearing my earphones. I waited since it was still 11:20.

I saw people yelling, talking, and laughing. Everything was in disarray in the music room.

It took several minutes before Sebastian arrived. His expression was one of annoyance as he surveyed the music room.

I grinned to myself.

He approached me as soon as he saw me. I unplugged my earphones and got to my feet.

"Mind going somewhere else?" He inquired.

I gave a headshake.

I followed him as he began to move. At last, he came to a halt and faced me.

"We can discuss it here."

"Sure."

With no one nearby, it must have been the quietest spot in the entire institution. Classes were present, but they were all empty. It was really silent in the hallway. Beside where we were sitting was an empty swimming pool. I grinned as I leaned my back against the pillar and gazed down at the sea.

It was quiet.

"So, did you think of any song?" He inquired.

I gave a nod. "Can we like do a mashup kinda thing?"

He folded his arms across his chest and leaned his back against the pillar. "Go on."

"Yeah, so, it's the opening ceremony, and since you will be performing at the main event, I personally think we should work hard."

I felt uneasy since he was just listening to me and watching me.

My heart was pounding wildly. I'm getting butterflies in my stomach again.

No. Give up.

When he remained silent, I went on, "I mean, if we don't do well in the opening ceremony, people will be judging the entire college." They may also have doubts regarding your performance.

He gave one nod.

"Well, that's my suggestion. How about you?

"I had one song in mind, but I guess we'll perform a mashup."

I grinned. "You agree to it?"

He gave me a small smile as he nodded.

"Are there any recommendations from you? About the songs?" I inquired, giddy with anticipation.

"You tell me," he said, clasping his arms across his chest, "the way you are getting excited, I am sure you have decided the songs too."

I nodded frantically as my smile grew.
