Billionaire's Pleasure-Chapter 60: The Grave
Sebastian’s POV
As usual, I’m just working, two days have passed and Stella still doesn’t talk to me, no call or even any message from Stella. I was just stunned at the screen of my laptop, I was wondering how I could talk to Stella, and the only way I could think of now was to visit her in her apartment. I immediately called Geisel to come to my office.
"Geisel, go to my office right now, I need to tell you something."
"Okay, Mr. Sebastian. "
A few moments later Geisel entered my office. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Do you need anything, Mr. Sebastian? "
"I’ll go outside; you take care of it first."
"But Mr. Sebastian— "
"Please I need to talk to Stella, I am bothered... thinking about her."
"Okay, Mr. Sebastian. "
"Don’t worry, dad will visit the company today, he already disc-charged at the hospital. So, while you are waiting for him, you will take care of it first. "
"I understand, Mr. Sebastian. "
"Okay, I need to go now."
When I got out of the office, I immediately got in the car and went to Stella’s old apartment. A few minutes later I suddenly saw Carla walking down the road to her apartment so I stopped the car and called her which she immediately noticed so she stopped walking.
"Sebastian? What are you doing here?" astonishment she asked.
"I would have gone to your apartment to talk to Stella, where is she and why aren’t you with her now?"
I saw Carla suddenly look away and she immediately took her phone out of her pocket and it was as if she was typing a message to whom.
"Are you messaging, Stella?" I immediately asked Carla.
"Um... no, I am not messaging Stella..." Carla replied that she was obviously lying but I just let her.
"So, where is Stella?"
"She still has a class at the University so I decided to go home."
"I see, and then I’ll just wait for her in your apartment, if possible. I really want to talk to her. "
"Maybe she’ll come home late because she’s finishing a lot of her projects..."
"How do you know that? You are not of the same course, " I replied.
"She told me. Maybe just visit her next time. She also told me that she does not want to talk to you for now. Let her think first, Sebastian, you two need that. "
"Two days have passed, isn’t she done thinking or maybe you’re just hiding her from me, Carla."
"Sebastian, why are you still forcing yourself, you heard what I said, and she doesn’t want to see you and talk to you, respect her decision. And then there’s something more important you have to take care of, right? Until now Louis is still missing, for now, he is your priority. Don’t worry, Stella is fine and if she wants to talk to you, I’m sure she’ll talk to you soon... but not for now, she’s not yet ready, so just go home, "Carla explained and turned her back on me.
I immediately grabbed Carla’s arm to stop her from walking away.
"Sebastian! Did you understand what I said? She doesn’t want to talk to you for now! "
"Okay, I understand what you said, but please just let me see her for a moment, even just a peek at her. I miss her so much. I hope you understand me as well, Carla," I explained.
Carla bit her lip and suddenly bowed her head. "You won’t find Stella here in the apartment... no matter how long you wait for her."
"What! Why?" astonishment I asked.
"She’s not here," Carla replied weakly.
I suddenly grabbed Carla’s two shoulders and shook them. "In that case, where is Stella? Answer me, Carla! Where is Stella right now? "
Carla averted her eyes from me and removed my hands that were clinging to her shoulders.
"She is with Sam’s condo; she stayed there first after you had a fight a few days ago."
"Sam? Is this Stella’s cousin? "
"Yes."
"Why did she stay there? She told me that day that she would stay in her old apartment. So, I am expecting you to be together, I didn’t know that she would stay at her cousin’s condo. "
"Honestly, she really going to stay at the apartment that day, but the day you and Stella had a fight, I wasn’t in the apartment and Apple wasn’t there either so I told her to just call Sam and maybe he could help her. "
"I don’t know about it, then, can you tell me what the address of Stella’s cousin’s condo is?"
"I do not know..."
"What? How could you not know? You and Stella are best friends, it’s impossible that Stella didn’t tell you about it. You are lying to me. "
"I am sorry, Sebastian. I don’t really know and I still haven’t been to Sam’s condo. I need to go now; I still have something important to do. "
"Carla! Please, tell me, I’m not going to mess with Sam’s condo. I promise. "
"Please, Sebastian, enough! I have nothing more to tell you, you better just go home now; Stella will talk to you when she is ready to talk to you. Let her be... Let her breathe for a while, " Carla said and walked away from me.
I got back in the car and slammed my steering wheel. "Fuck! Fuck! It’s my entire fault! If only I had been open with Stella and if I had not argued with her that day, all this would not have happened. "
I was just leaning my head on my steering wheel when suddenly someone called my phone, I immediately took it out of my pocket and saw the detective calling me so I immediately answered his call.
"Detective, why did you call me? Any good news?" I ask.
"I already know where your brother is."
I was suddenly awakened by my leaning on the steering wheel because of what the detective had said.
"Really, detective? How did you know? Where is he? Is Louis safe? "
"So far, I only know where his location is, except I have not gathered any other information, my friend helped me to track the location of Mr. Louis and if the location we got was right, your brother might be there."
"That’s good news, detective. When will we meet to talk about going to find him? "
"Tomorrow we can meet to talk about it, I’ll just go to your condo."
"Okay, detective, thanks for the information."
"You’re welcome."
When the detective and I finished talking, I thought of a place to go before I returned to the office. The trip is almost 30 minutes.
A few minutes later I arrived. I haven’t been able to visit this place for a long time, not because I don’t want to go but I don’t want to go back to the bad memories I have in this place.
I walked a few steps before I stopped, I was now looking at a tomb that was barely cleaned and visited. I wiped it for a moment and sat down in front of the grave.
"Hi, baby Jasmine, how are you? Sorry that your daddy doesn’t visit you, I am sorry because I chose to forget you. I’m sorry and I haven’t been a good father to you. It looks like even your mom forgot about you as well and she doesn’t visit you anymore, maybe you think that we’re the worst parents because we neglected you and I didn’t do my best to make you live. I am sorry, I am really sorry... I don’t deserve to be your dad and even more, I don’t deserve to build my own family. I am afraid of repeating the mistake that I made in my life and that happened to our family before. I want you to forget me... I want you to forget me as your dad...because you don’t deserve me...you don’t deserve someone like me," I cried at the grave in front of my daughter.
I wiped away my tears and then stood up. I turned around and walked away from the cemetery and got into my car.
When I returned to the company, I went straight to my office. When I entered the office I immediately saw Geisel and dad who is sitting in my office chair.
"Oh, you’re already here, Sebastian, Geisel said you went to Stella, do you two have a problem?"
"We just have a little argument. By the way, how are you? "
"I’m fine now; I just need to take the medicine that the doctor gave me."
"It’s good then, dad. By the way, I have good news from Louis. "
"Really?" dad said excitedly.
"Yes," I replied to dad and look around at Geisel.
"I will leave you first Mr. Miller and Mr. Sebastian, if you need anything just call me. "
"Thank you, Geisel."
When Geisel left, I sat on the couch and faced dad. "The detective already knows where to find Louis."
