That night Sébastien could not sleep. He tossed and turned all night.After the encounter in the kitchen at the orphanage, he got a phone call and he had to rushed to the office. He rescheduled another meeting with the Ross family and this time he asked them to include Haven.
In the two minutes he saw her, Sébastien has grown very fond of Haven, he could not get her out of his head. Her smile, her laugh, her voice. The way her body curved in the right places, the moment his eyes landed on her, he wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms.
Sébastien decided to go to his office instead of laying in bed and staring at the ceiling.
He made his way to his office and sat behind his desk. According to the clock that hung above the door, it was two hours before the clock strikes midnight.
Sébastien picked up the phone and called his personal investigator. He knew he would not get some rest if he satisfied his the thought that plagued his mind.
In less than two wrings, the phone was picked up.
"Mr Heart, how can I help you." the voice of his personal investigator and closest friend spoke.
Sébastien smiled, it's been a long time since he heard from his friend.
"How are you doing, Dean?"
Dean chuckles at his high school friend. "Better now that I know your alive. What can I do for you, BFF." Sébastien cringes at the nickname.
"Never call me that again. You can do so much better than that." Sébastien said making Dean chuckle.
"Just pulling your leg, now tell what's the reason for calling me so late?"
"I need you to do a background check on the Sunny Side Orphanage and one of the children that live their. Haven, I don't know her last name, but she's been living there since she was 12. I was hoping you could do a background check on her." Sébastien was slowly sinking into his business side.
"I'll get back to you when I have all the information, which will be around noon tomorrow. Will that be all?" Dean knew his friend better than Sébastien knew himself. And for Sébastien to ask such detailed information on someone was something knew to the investigator.
"No, join me for dinner tomorrow night, there is a few things I need to discuss with you." Dean knew something was up.
"I'll be there around six thirty."
"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow." Sébastien ended the call and headed down to the kitchen. He was not surprised to see Jaxon still up at this hour.
"Good evening, sir. You look much better than yesterday." Jaxon was a fifty year old butler with a thick British accent.
"I feel much better, Jaxon. How about you? " he asked.
"I'm absolutely great, thank you."
"Hey, Jax. Do you think you can make me a batch of chocolate chip cookies?" It was unlikely for a grown man to ask for cookies this late at night, but the taste of Mrs Ross' cookies had triggered something in him. His cravings for cookies.
"On it, sir." Jaxon answered a little surprised but did not say anything.
Sébastien smiled and sat down at the kitchen island.The kitchen fell in silince as Jaxon started mixing ingredients for the cookies. Sébastien stared off into the distance, his mind swirling around the image of Haven. He could not wait to make her his. Even if it meant losing everything he had, he would do it for her.
