Remorse After Breaking Up

An old man was sitting on a couch in the hotel room.

Unbeknownst to Maria, this was Sebastian himself. Though, at this point, his face was that of an old man's. His hair was stark white, and his face wrinkled and scarred.

"Are you the Supreme One?" Maria asked fearfully, suddenly feeling the urge to leave.

Though the Supreme One was rumored to be an old and ugly man, Maria hadn't expected him to be this hideous and old!

"You dare question me?" Sebastian flared at Maria, making her tremble in fear.

She then fell to her knees, saying, "I would never dare! Please forgive me, Supreme One."

"You may rise," Sebastian said.

"Thank you, Supreme One." Maria sighed after getting back up. She overcame her fear and decided that she was going to seduce the old man no matter what he looked like.

Maria was confident about her looks and body. Plus, she was dressed beautifully as the bride today. So, she was certain that any man's resolve would sway at the sight of her.

"Is it alright if I sit beside you, Supreme One?" Maria asked cautiously.

Sebastian nodded.

Maria happily sat down beside him. She even placed a hand on his thigh. When Sebastian didn't react, she slowly pressed herself against him and kissed his neck and cheek.

She even put Sebastian's hand right between her legs.

When she was about to kiss him on the lips, he stopped her. "I don't think that is appropriate. You're the bride today, after all."

"My greatest wish is to be able to serve you, Supreme One. I can even call off the wedding if you so desire." Maria gazed expectantly at Sebastian.

"You're about to get married. Don't you have any feelings for your fiancé?" Sebastian asked.

"How could I have any feelings for a lame man like Tyler?" Maria scoffed. "You may not know this, Supreme One, but Tyler turned impotent a long time ago because he slept around too much.

"I'm only marrying him to help my family. There are no feelings between us whatsoever. I'm still a virgin right now, so please allow me the honor of having you be my first."

Maria blushed and began stripping off her underwear, waiting for Sebastian to descend on her.

Sebastian sneered. What a shameless woman Maria was, sleeping with another man on her wedding day.

"You had another fiancé before this, didn't you, Maria? Yet, now you've renounced your prior engagement and decided to marry Tyler. Do you regret doing so?" Sebastian asked.

"You mean that bum, Sebastian? He revolts me." Maria said expectantly. "Let's not talk about this any longer, Supreme One. Take me, please."

"Turn around and look at who I am, Maria."

"You're the Supreme…" Maria turned around immediately.

Sebastian had taken off his mask, revealing his handsome face.

"Sebastian?" Maria gasped.

"Surprise, surprise. The man you're trying so hard to please is your so-called 'bum,'" Sebastian said sarcastically.

"How dare you impersonate the Supreme One?" Maria exclaimed in a fit of rage, feeling ashamed at the same time as it had been Sebastian she was seducing earlier.

How she wished the ground would open and swallow her up right now!

"Do you have any proof to your claim?" Sebastian sneered.

"I'm not going to let this go just like this, asshole. Just you wait!" Maria hissed before quickly leaving the room.

Tyler was in the middle of tending to his guests when he saw Maria hurry down. He quickly asked, "Where is the Supreme One?"

"Natalie Green lied to us. There was no one in the room," Maria grunted.

She didn't mention Sebastian because it'd be difficult to keep things under control if he started blabbing about what happened.

"That little bitch. She even took my money! I'll teach her a lesson sooner or later!" Tyler gritted out angrily.

But he actually didn't dare to seek Natalie out as she wasn't someone he could afford to cross.

Just then, a video suddenly began playing on the projector screen onstage.

Maria was depicted seducing Sebastian. The latter's face was pixelated, but Maria's was not.

The wedding guests' eyes widened in utter shock as they began murmuring amongst themselves.

"Who knew someone as prim as Maria would actually be so slutty behind closed doors? Trying to seduce another man on her own wedding day? What a whore."

"Maria has the bodily assets to justify her actions, after all. Poor Mr. Cadwell, though. He got cheated on even before marriage."

Many guests were now looking at Maria with a new, lustful light. They were already thinking about how to have some fun with her.

Meanwhile, Tyler and Maria had their backs to the projector screen. They quickly turned around when they noticed something wrong with the guests' reactions.

Maria immediately flushed with embarrassment. Fear consumed her.

Beside her, Tyler roared, "Shut it off! Someone fucking shut it off!"

He kept on yelling until the projection finally stopped a minute later.

Tyler then glared murderously at Maria.

Maria trembled frightfully. "Please hear me out, honey. It's not what you think."

"I'll deal with you when we're back home!" Tyler shot her another glare before turning to face his guests.

He forced a smile and said, "The video that played earlier was just a hoax. Someone was trying to humiliate us, so please don't believe in it."

But none of the guests believed Tyler's explanation whatsoever. Tyler was so pissed off because he knew this was exactly the case.

Sebastian walked downstairs just then. Tyler immediately ran over to him and snarled, "You did this, didn't you, you asshole? I'm going to fucking kill you!"

Maria furiously lunged at Sebastian as well.

Just then. Sebastian slapped her right in the face.

"Did you just hit me?" Maria asked in disbelief, cupping her burning cheek.

"You're going to die today, kid!" Tyler roared and raised a hand to strike Sebastian.

But Sebastian was one step ahead and swiftly slapped Tyler, too. The force was so hard that a burning red imprint surfaced on his cheek, and blood began leaking from his lip.

"How does it feel? This is what you get for provoking me," Sebastian said to Tyler before slapping him again.

Tyler was dazed from the slaps and fell right to the floor.

"Did he just hit Mr. Cadwell? He's digging his grave at this point."

"Mr. Fisk is here! This kid is toast."

A middle-aged man marched over quickly just then. "Who struck my son?"

"Dad, you've come just in time!" Tyler ran over to his father's side before pointing angrily at Sebastian. "This is who hit me! I'm going to kill him!"

"You!" Fisk Cadwell recognized Sebastian right away. "How dare you harm my son, you piece of shit? Take him down and toss him out, boys!"

Several mean-looking brutes began running toward Sebastian.

"Wait!"

A woman suddenly appeared in the hall right when the brutes neared Sebastian.

"What are you doing here, Ms. Smith?" Fisk went to greet her with a warm smile.

It was Lillian.

"What are all of you doing?" Lillian snapped.

Fisk pointed at Sebastian and said, "I was just about to teach this bastard a lesson. He came to cause a scene at my son's wedding and even attacked both my son and his wife."

"Mr. Wilder is our family's guest. Whoever attacks him will be antagonizing my family," Lillian said and stood beside Sebastian. She was like some regal and powerful queen above everyone.

Sebastian whispered in her ear, "You don't have a crush on me now, do you? I didn't expect you to be so concerned about me."

"Don't think too much of it. I wouldn't have wasted my time with you if my grandfather hadn't asked me to," Lillian said with a forced smile.

She didn't hate Sebastian, but she didn't like him, either.

"Why don't you marry me? We've slept together, and your grandfather seems to like me a lot," Sebastian suggested with a grin.

Lillian turned to face Sebastian and said angrily, "That's in the past. You better not bring it up ever again, or else, don't blame me for taking drastic measures!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Meanwhile, the Lisbon family was having a tense conversation with the Cadwell family.

They didn't want to offend the Smith family, but they couldn't just let Sebastian off as he'd slapped both Tyler and Maria at their own wedding. They'd become the entire city's laughing stock otherwise!

After the two families reached an agreement, they went over to Lillian.

"Look at my son's and his wife's faces, Ms. Smith. See what Mr. Wilder here has done to them!" Fisk exclaimed.

He continued, "I would've let this pass if this had happened on any other day, out of respect for your family.

"But given it's these two's wedding today, we'd lose our guests' respect if nothing is done! Our families won't be able to maintain our dignity in Ravenview City!"

Clement was infuriated as well. "Exactly! This bastard needs to pay!"

"Mr. Wilder saved my grandfather's life, so I can't just sit by and do nothing. Why don't both of us reach a compromise? I'll make Mr. Wilder apologize to you and give you a million dollars as compensation," Lillian suggested.

"No way!" Fisk refused without hesitation. He said coldly, "We can compromise out of respect for the Smith family, but an apology means nothing!"

"What do you think should be done, then?" Lillian asked.

"An eye for an eye!" Fisk quipped. "Both my son and his wife should slap him once in the face, too."

"You also need to kneel in front of me until I'm satisfied!" Tyler roared.

"That's too much," Lillian said.

Tyler held his rage back and said, "Then I won't ask it from him out of respect for you, Ms. Smith. But I want to slap him twice more!"

Lillian turned to Sebastian. "I've tried my best, Mr. Wilder. Why don't you just let them slap you back?"

Sebastian smiled sarcastically. "I've only ever been the one striking others, not the other way around. These folks are delusional."

"You heard him, Ms. Smith. We want to calm the situation, too, but this kid is too outrageous. There's nothing more to say if that's the case. Sic him, boys!"
