Billionaire's Pleasure-Chapter 61: Sebastian’s Hidden Secret Revealed

Stella’s POV

Sam drove me to my University and then I saw Carla waiting for me at the gate.

"Hey, Stella!" Carla calls me while waving.

I happily approached her and hugged her. "Good morning Carla," I greeted her.

"Good morning. I saw Sam, he take you here? "

"Oh, yea, he took me here, because the University is a bit far from his condo, I might be late for class if he wouldn’t take me here."

"I see, such a sweet cousin. If I just didn’t know that you are Sam’s cousin, I might think he likes you," Carla smiled.

"You’re silly, Carla. He is just concerned about me. "

"I know, I’m just kidding, Stella," Carla said with a smile.

"Sure."

"By the way, how are you? What happened to you and Sebastian? I thought you would get along already."

"Yeah, I thought so too. But it’s hard to understand him no matter how hard I try to explain to him that he needs to be open to me, he still can’t... and then he also mentioned someone... looks like someone important to him but when I asked who it was he didn’t be able to tell me. "

"Who is that? And why he doesn’t want to tell you? Do you think she is a woman? "

"I don’t know. I don’t know much about Sebastian’s past but I’m sure whoever that person was, became an important person in Sebastian’s life. "

"So, you have no plans to talk to him yet?"

"I don’t want to see him and talk to him for now."

"Okay, if that’s your decision, Stella, I’ll support you."

"Thank you, Carla. Do you think I was in a hurry the day I agreed to live in Sebastian’s condo because I think since I lived in his condo... our relationship has deteriorated...? "

"I think you made an early decision to live in Sebastian’s condo but I can’t blame you because you love him and you two love each other but because you are living together under the same roof you get to know his character better, you often see each other and observe each other behavior and actions. I think that’s normal for two people living under the same roof," Carla explained.

"What should I do, then?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"What do you think you should do? Only you can answer that, Stella. "

I was about to speak when suddenly the bell rang at the University, meaning we had to enter our respective classes.

"See you later?" Carla asked.

"I’m not sure yet, because I still have a lot of projects and reports to take care of."

"I see, don’t worry. I understand. I’ll message you later. "

"Sure. Bye, Carla. "

"Bye, Stella."

When Carla and I finished talking, I went straight to my room. I was just sitting quietly at my desk while listening to our professor’s discussion when I suddenly remembered Sebastian’s birthday, I still didn’t buy a gift for him... even my birthday surprise to him, I was still not prepared for it because of what happened to the two of us. A few hours later our class ended. I go straight to the lab room because I still have a project to finish. I stayed in the lab for a few hours and was quietly finishing my laboratory project when Carla suddenly texted me. ’Sebastian is here, he’s with me now, he’s looking for you, it looks like he wants to talk to you. Don’t worry I’ll take care of it. ’

I frowned at Carla’s text message; Sebastian seemed to realize that he needed me. I hate him because the day I left his condo, he didn’t even stop me from leaving and now he wants to see me. No way! Over my dead body! As soon as I finished my project, I left the lab, as I was walking out of the building my phone suddenly rang; I was surprised because an unregistered name was calling me.

"Hello, who is this?" I ask.

"Guess who?"

"I don’t know you, okay? If this is a prank, I’m not in the mood to fool around with you. "

"Chill, relax. Don’t be mad at me, Stella. "

"What? How did you know me? Who are you?"

"Does my voice not familiar to you?"

"Wait... Is this David?"

"Yes, exactly. I thought you forgot about me right away. "

"How did you know my phone number?"

"I asked your cousin, Sam."

"And why did you ask him, my number?"

"I thought you were smart, of course, I want to talk to you so I asked Sam and he gave it to me right away."

"What do you need?"

"You’ve being rude to me, Stella. Is that how you approached me?"

"As I said, I’m not in the mood right now."

"Fine, I want to invite you to dinner. By the way, where are you now? Are you still at the university? "

"Yes, I’m still at the University, and why do you invite me for a dinner? Will you tell me something important? "

"Um... do I need to tell you something important before you’re allowing me to have dinner with you?"

"Maybe..." I replied.

"I see... What if I tell you, that I know Sebastian personally and privately."

"What do you mean?"

"You seem to be interested in me now, Stella. What if, we just talk about it at our dinner? "

"Um... okay."

"Okay, Just wait for me. I’ll be there in 20 minutes. "

David dropped the call and then I continued walking out of the building. I wonder what David meant by what he told me and how he met Sebastian. I mean Sebastian is a rich businessman so as not to be known, but what does David mean that he knows him personally and privately. I just shook my head at the thought of the reason. I decided to wait for David in front of the University gate. While waiting for him, I just played music while wearing a headset. 20 minutes later I saw David arrive and get out of his car.

"Have you been waiting for so long?" David asked.

"Not much," I replied as I hid the headset in my pocket.

We got in the car and he started to drive.

"Do you know a restaurant? We can eat there if you want. "

"It’s up to you, anywhere is fine with me."

"Oh, okay."

We were just quiet the whole trip until we got to a nearby restaurant. I think it was an Italian restaurant we went to.

"Let’s go?" he said and he opened his car door for me.

"Thank you."

There are almost no people in this area. It looks like a fancy restaurant.

"Why did we come here? It looks like we went to an expensive restaurant. "

"It’s not too much, it’s quiet here, only a few people come, and then don’t worry I won’t pay you the bills. It’s my treat," said David.

We sat at the first table of the restaurant and then a waiter approached us and handed us a menu.

"Choose whatever you want," David said while smiling.

I just looked at him and then looked at the content of the menu. I have a lot of unknown foods on the menu. So, I just chose Fiorentina Steak.

The waiter approached us again and he gets our orders. "Please, add one bottle of red wine," David said.

"Is that all you want?" David asked me.

"Yes," I replied.

"Okay, no problem. Maybe you’re on a diet? "

"No, I am not," I answered seriously.

"Okay, just relax Stella," David said with a smile.

"So, how did you know Sebastian?"

"Gosh, we haven’t even eaten dinner yet, that’s what you asked me right away. Can we just talk about it after we eat? "

"We can talk while waiting for our order, right?"

David stared at me seriously and drinks the glass of water that was on our table.

"Because you insist, I’ll tell you everything."

"Okay, I’ll listen to you."

"I know Sebastian because my younger sister used to be his wife."

I was stunned by what David told me. I don’t know if what I heard was correct.

"Can you repeat what you told me?"

"Sebastian got married and they also had a child as well. They have been married for 3 years. "

I’m not mistaken, everything I heard is correct, but how did that happen? How could I not know? Why did Sebastian’s whole family keep it a secret from me? Is this the person Sebastian doesn’t want to talk about in his past? I’m confused, I’m really confused. I want to get lost, cry, and scream right now but I can’t because I’m slowly getting weak with what I’ve found out.

"Stella... Stella. Are you okay? " David said while shaking my arm.

"Yes, I am okay," I replied to David as I bit my lip as I tried to control my tears.

"Okay, I’m just checking you."

"Can you tell me everything you know about David’s past?"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes, I want to know everything about his past."
