He's ruthless.
Cold-hearted to all except one.
His heart is ice when death lays in the palm of his hand.
But behind every great, powerful man lies an even greater woman.
Because after all, she rules over him.
Sebastian groaned, not wanting to wake up yet managing to pull off the comforter and letting the cold hair hit his bare chest.
He slowly rubbed his eye before muttering some profanities and making his way to the kitchen.
There, in the morning light at 6 AM stood a beautiful angel, cooking what could only be breakfast.
He smiled at her before making his way over and wrapping his arms around her petite figure.
A giggle escaped her before she turned her head around, "Good morning."
"Morning Arielle." Sebastian mumbled, his mouth placing a soft kiss on her neck.
"As sweet as that is, you should go and sit down. I'll bring breakfast out in a bit." She scolded, whisking the eggs into the waffle batter.
"Sweet? Now, now, don't ruin my reputation Ari." His voice deepened, causing her to nearly melt at her feet, "Besides, can't I watch you cook? That's far more interesting than getting the day started."
Arielle rolled her eyes, spraying the waffle iron with some cooking spray.
"What do you have to do today?" She asked, sighing as she carefully began spooning the batter into the mold.
"Do we have to talk about this?" He sighed.
She shrugged, turning around to look at him after closing the iron.
His chiseled face was still unshaved, his tired eyes immediately softening as he made eye contact with her.
"Nothing. The guys will probably go interrogate this man who has a lot to say about us, scare him a little bit. I'll probably go with. " Sebastian said casually, looking through his phone at emails.
Arielle's eyebrows furrowed before taking a couple steps and snatching Sebastian's phone from his grasp earning a grumble from him.
"You're very lucky you are a beautiful, sweet angel Ari." He muttered, flipping her against the counter and cornering her with his body.
Despite being caught off guard, Arielle smirked before looking at him dead in the eyes, an act many dared to never to.
"And you sir, are very lucky that I'm making you breakfast, aren't you?" She smiled, breaking out of his muscular frame.
Sebastian sighed, running a hand through his hair before walking out.
Arielle grinned before cursing to herself as she let the uncooked batter leave her mind.

"Can you give me a reason to let you slide?" A rough voice asked, his voice sickly sweet.
"I—I never meant for it to go this far, of course you know that. My words were nothing but foolishness." The man pleaded, trying to free his arms from the restraints.
"I would stop trying if I were you, you know better than to even consider escaping." The voice asked, unamused.
"You people are sick." The man scoffed, "You people are sick, sick bastards." His mood changing completely.
"You're getting a little courage now eh?" One of the men grinned, his eyes playfully glancing at the weapons in the room.
The man tied up groaned, his wrists aching more and more by the minute.
"Boss, what do you want us to do now?"
Before Sebastian could even open his mouth, he was rudely interrupted, causing the men to snap their heads back at the fighting soul.
Jaxon, one of Sebastian's most trusted men, rolled his eyes at the thought of another word escaping this man's useless mouth.
"Need to go to your boss for directions don't you sweetie. After all, all that he does is let his little bitch stay at home while he fools around with other girls." The man chuckled, looking Sebastian in the eyes, matching his glare.
The coldness in his eyes flustered the man but he chose to fight against it, opening his mouth once more.
"Heard she was a beauty, the prettiest girl a man's eyes could lay on. Damn, would I like to f—" With that , the man quieted down.
The bullet was not enough to kill but to cause unbearable pain when the man recovered from shock.
"Let him pay the price of letting her name come out of his mouth." Sebastian growled before tucking his gun back into his waist band, dangerously calm.
His men nodded, no one daring to speak a word, choosing not to test the waters by angering their already pissed boss.
With that, Sebastian made his way out of the underground parking lot, followed by Jaxon.
"This was the 3rd time she's been mentioned in an interrogation." Jaxon sighed, his breath not faltering.
"You don't think I know that?" Sebastian snapped, his mind racing at the thought of Arielle being talked about by these filthy men.
Jaxon couldn't help but worry for Arielle, a kind soul who he treated like a younger sister.
"Let's just leave." Sebastian ordered, getting himself into his sleek McLaren 600LT.

Jaxon rolled his eyes at the way Sebastian choose to show his worry for Arielle's wellbeing.
Yet, it wasn't like he could blatantly show worry for her out here in the open.
People were always listening, spying on them to find the great Sebastian's biggest weakness.
After all, if anyone had found out how much Arielle meant to them, especially Sebastian, she would be as good as dead.
