Sebastian had been in a teasing mood.
But at her words, his gaze turned somber.
"Helena, are you begging to be taught a lesson?" His voice was dangerously low.
Before she could react, a phone vibrated nearby.
It was Lance James calling.
Obviously, Julian Campbell wasn't around.
Lance couldn't find her, so he called directly.
Helena didn't answer.
It wasn't that she didn't want to.
Sebastian simply didn't give her the chance.
When this man lost control, he was relentless.
Helena was overwhelmed.
She suddenly regretted provoking him.
His punishing rhythm continued until she was murmuring for mercy.
But he didn't let up.
The vibrating phone eventually went silent.
When the fireworks finally settled, she was gasping for air.
Sebastian pulled her into his arms. "My skills are bad? Textbook? Didn't you enjoy that?"
He fired off the questions, refusing to let it go.
"What, can Julian still soothe you? With his temper, can he tolerate you sleeping with another man and still coax you afterward?"
She kept a straight face. "He's still better than you."
"Helena, do you just enjoy pushing my buttons? Do I have to play rough?" His grip tightened instantly.
She didn't answer.
She couldn't even describe this bizarre feeling herself.
When he treated her gently, she felt suffocated.
Maybe it was because it felt too easy.
It only amplified her guilt toward Julian and her helplessness regarding her current situation.
Instead, when he dropped the facade and engaged in this intense push-and-pull...
She felt a twisted sense of release.
It was both a physical and psychological release.
She was deceiving herself.
She told herself she was forced.
But her body explicitly betrayed her acceptance.
And every year, Sebastian accompanied her.
Helena sat in silence.
She checked the schedule on The Gossip App; it was set for the afternoon.
Clearly, Janetta had intentionally avoided the time frame of Sebastian's evening gala.
Helena let out a soft scoff.
A moment later, Lance's message popped up.
Lance: [Are you with Sebastian? I saw Carter Miles take Kyle and Skye out.]
Helena: [Yes.]
Seeing her honesty, Lance didn't know how to respond.
Thinking about her fragile mental state, he felt entirely helpless.
He typed and deleted repeatedly in the chat box for a long time before sending a reply.
Lance: [Lena, whatever you do, your safety comes first.]
Helena: [I know.]
Lance didn't send anything else.
If Julian couldn't control her, neither could he.
This was a hurdle Helena had to overcome on her own.
