Ch. 11..20

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 11 – “What?” Sebastian thought he had heard wrong.

“Give me 50,000 USD! I would guarantee not to harass the Lynn family again.” Sabrina had a calmness in her tone as if she was ready to accept d***h.

Sebastian was so angry, he laughed.

‘She truly understood how to play along.’ “Who was the one who promised me yesterday that she would never ask for money again?” He asked her mockingly.

“Do you think a tainted woman like me, who had played hard to get with you several times, would have any integrity left?” She answered mockingly.

Sebastian was speechless.

He had almost forgotten how shameless she could be.

He ruthlessly sneered at her, “If I could get you out of p****n, don’t you think I could send you back in?” Sabrina was speechless.

She knew that she would only lose if she were to compete with Sebastian in terms of ruthlessness.

However, she needed to think of a way to obtain the 50,000 USD. She could not let her mother’s grave be dug up.

“That’s right.” She lowered her gaze and smiled in a desolate manner. “You could get me k****d as easily as you could squeeze an ant to d***h.” After saying that, she pulled open the door and went out.

The man stopped her, “What do you want to do?” “You have no right to ask me,” said Sabrina.

The man closed in on her, “I had already forgotten. Selene said you are in the night business, right? I’m warning you, during your contract with me, don’t engage in d***y and unpleasant dealings, or else…” Sabrina suddenly erupted. “Or else! Or else! Or else! Do I owe you, Sebastian Ford? You said I was trying to cheat you out of your money but did I actively seek you out?” “I only agreed to make a deal with you because I had received favors from your mother in p****n and wanted to repay her.” “That’s all!” “After I got out of p****n, I got a job with great difficulties, but you ruined it when I was only one day away from getting my paycheck.” “I didn’t even have enough money for the bus fare, so what would you want me to live on?” “You also heard it at Lynn’s. They were the ones who insisted that I stay. I didn’t even think about harassing them. They have financed me before, and now they want me to pay 50,000 USD back to them in one day! If I don’t pay, my mother’s grave would be dug out!” “You tell me, what would I use to pay them?” Sebastian was shocked.

She had always been as cool as a cucumber.

He never thought that she would explode.

After she finished shouting, she ridiculed herself and said, “What am I doing shouting at you? Asking for pity? In your eyes, I’m only a plaything that you could step on whenever you like. If I ask pity from you, then isn’t that even worse? I’m so stupid.” With that said, she ran back to her room, quickly packed her clothes in a duffel bag, and walked out.

She then said flatly, “Mr. Ford, I want to terminate our deal.” “Unilateral termination?” She replied, “I know, I must pay for the early termination fees. I don’t have money, so please give me one week, and I would be back to accept anything you wish to do to me.” The man asked with interest, “What do you plan to do for a week?” “First, I would sell my blood at the black market. Once I have earned enough travel expenses, I would return to my hometown to visit my mother’s grave. After I come back, you could do whatever you want with me, it wouldn’t matter anymore. If you’re worried, you could send someone to follow me.” Having said that, she pulled open the door to leave.

However, her arm was grabbed by the man.

Sebastian handed her a thick envelope, his voice as cold as ever, “50,000 USD, but there’s no second time! Remember to take care of my mother tomorrow as usual.” She looked at him in a daze and did not respond for a long time.

She then took the money, turned around, and ran into her room. As soon as the door was closed, her tears came pouring down.

Her duffel bag was dropped at his feet. He flipped the content and found one or two changes of extremely cheap clothes, toothpaste, and a bar of soap.

There was also 20 or 30 USD worth of change.

Sabrina cried the whole night. Her eyes were completely red when she woke up the next day.

Fortunately, Sebastian left early for the office to settle some business matters, so he did not see her.

Sabrina tidied up and went to the hospital to visit Grace.

“Sabbie, why are your eyes so red?” Grace asked as she was concerned.

“Nothing, Mum.” Sabrina’s eyes got red again.

She did not wish to let Grace see her in tears. She turned around and ran out.

Grace made a call to Sebastian, “Son, you’re busy with work every day. Sabbie is the one that has accompanied me every morning. What a great daughter-in-law. I don’t know how many more days I have left. I hope to attend your wedding ceremony soon…” Grace thought that Sabrina was upset because she and Sebastian did not have a wedding ceremony.

Which girl did not look forward to the moment they walked down the aisle in their wedding dress?

Grace was the same. She had lived her life and will be passing soon, but she did not have the chance to wear a wedding dress.

Grace wanted to make up for her regrets by giving Sabrina what she did not have.

“Mom, you’re still sick. Sabrina and I should not have something grand.” Sebastian persuaded his mother.

“Son, there is no need to have a grand one. It would be perfect as long as there is a ceremony.” Sebastian was speechless.

After a moment, he answered in a deep voice, “As you wish.” Grace immediately felt comforted and said, “There is no need to choose another day, the day after tomorrow would be perfect. Let the wedding company and hotel determine the venue and prepare a small ceremony.” The day after tomorrow.

Indeed, it would be too rushed for ordinary people. However, if Sebastian wanted to have a wedding, forget the day after tomorrow, even having it tomorrow would be a possibility.

“Alright, Mom,” answered Sebastian.

As Grace hung up the phone, Sabrina returned to the room after having her emotions managed and smiled at Grace. “Mom, I was down with flu the past two days, so I kept tearing and snorting. Sorry that you had to see that.” “Sabbie, I want to give you a surprise,” said Grace as she held Sabrina’s hand.

“What surprise?” Sabrina asked immediately.

“It’s a surprise. Of course, I couldn’t tell you.” Grace teased her and then urged her to leave. “Don’t just stay here keeping an old lady such as myself company. Go for a facial and spa these two days, and buy some new clothes for yourself. Quickly, go.” Sabrina knew she had no money, but she could not say anything else.

However, this was a good opportunity for her to search for a job. She needed to land a job quickly to become self-reliant.

In the afternoon, Sabrina went to the Lynn’s to return the money.

While she waited for the bus, she overheard a few passers-by having an enthusiastic discussion. “It’s so good to be rich. You could hold a wedding in one day.” “Is it hard? Everything is so ready-made now─ to organize a wedding in a day, wouldn’t it be easy?” “It could be an engagement ceremony, right? For a family like the Ford’s, how could they keep such a low profile if it’s an actual wedding?” “I also think it would be an engagement party and not a wedding reception. A wedding should be grander.” “Tsk tsk, it must be nice for the rich─ for an event as big as an engagement party, they only need a day to prepare.” The few people waiting for the bus were discussing the wedding of the Ford family with great interest.

‘Ford Family?’ ‘Could it be someone related to Sebastian?’ After last night, Sabrina’s perception of Sebastian had changed a little. She felt like he was not such a cold and heartless man.

The bus arrived, Sabrina got on and headed to the Lynn family house.

Seeing that Sabrina managed to put 50,000 USD on the coffee table in a day, Jade was so furious, and steam almost came out of her eyes, ears, nose and mouth. “Did you rob somebody?”.

“This had nothing to do with you. Please write me a note now, and we no longer owe each other anything.” Sabrina handed Jade a piece of paper and a pen.

Jade knocked them off her hands. “Since the money came so easily to you, you certainly couldn’t just pay us back 50,000 USD. Eight years, half a million is not much, right?” Sabrina was speechless.

At that time, Lincoln entered and shouted excitedly, “Jade, Selene! Great news! The day after tomorrow, Sebastian and Selene would have their engagement party!”

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 12 – When she heard the news, Sabrina suddenly felt her heart ached with sorrow.

Sebastian and Sabrina were husband and wife, but they were like strangers.

It so happened that the person Sebastian was about to be engaged with was her enemy.

Yes!

It’s her enemy!

Sabrina still did not know the cause of her mother’s d***h. She wanted to investigate, but she did not even have the money to travel home, and she was pregnant with a child.

There was nothing she could do now.

She could only endure.

Jade walked hurriedly over to Lincoln and grabbed his hand with great excitement. “Lincoln, was what you said true? Sebastian would have an engagement party with Selene? Shouldn’t both parents from each family have a meet-up first? Sebastian’s grandfather and father have accepted Selene? They didn’t mind that Selene was adopted?

”When she heard the word “adopted” being mentioned, Sabrina’s sorrow in her heart grew.

Selene and Sabrina were both raised in the Lynn family.

Selene was adopted when she was two, and Lincoln and Jade immediately treated her like a precious gem. On the other hand, Sabrina became their foster child from out of town when she was twelve-year- old. For eight years, she had to depend on the charity of Lincoln and Jade and lived a life worse than the dogs or pigs.

Sabrina could not help but lamented. Why did Selene have such a good life?

In gloomy mood, she tried to walk out.

“Stop!” Jade blocked in front of Sabrina. “Half a million!” “What are you talking about?” Lincoln looked at Jade in shock.

“We raised her for eight years. Fed and clothed her, paid for her college, and gave her short-lived mother medical care. Did you think that money fell from the sky?” Jade stared fiercely at Lincoln.

Lincoln said, “Jade! Don’t you forget…” “What? Don’t you forget that she is a Scott, not a Lynn!” Jade interjected Lincoln’s words.

Lincoln was suddenly speechless.

Sabrina looked at the couple in front of her as they were playing good cop, bad cop, she felt incomparably disgusted, but she still looked indifferent on the surface. “I’ve given you 50,000 USD. If you dared to dig my mother’s grave, I would knock myself to d***h in front of your door!” After saying that, she left without turning back.

Lincoln waited until Sabrina had left the door, then he shouted angrily at Jade, “How could you be this cruel?” “Do you feel sorry for her?” Jade sneered. “Let me tell you this, Lincoln! If one day she found out that the man Selene is marrying was the man she saved by giving up her innocence, don’t you think she would hate you? If Sebastian finds out about this, our whole family will be k****d! Did you think I asked her for half a million dollars because I really wanted the money? I’m forcing her to leave South City.” “Force her to leave? Where could a lonely and miserable person go?” Lincoln asked.

“She could go where she likes!” Jade let out a cold snort. “As long as it wouldn’t affect our precious Selene’s happiness. Lincoln, Selene was raised by you since young, your heart couldn’t be biased for Sabrina!” When his daughter, Selene, was mentioned, Sabrina was immediately forgotten by Lincoln.

He faked a smile and looked at Jade. “Honey, quickly prepare the suit and gown we would be wearing at Selene’s engagement party. We couldn’t be sloppy when it comes to dressing for our daughter’s engagement to the Ford family.’’ Jade was slightly puzzled. “How come no one has notified us about Sebastian and Selene’s engagement? Could you be mistaken?” “Definitely not mistaken. Sebastian liked to keep a low profile, and his personality is too cold. He would not personally speak of it, especially regarding a proposal or an engagement to Selene. He already made an exception to personally come to our door and discuss their marriage a few days ago. Did you expect him to hire a whole parade to pick Selene up? No way,” said Lincoln.

Jade said, “Then, they should at least let us know the address to the venue for the engagement party, right?” “I know! I have the address. When the time comes, we would go ourselves. We should not annoy Sebastian. Wait until Selene is married into the Ford family and is pregnant with Sebastian’s child, then everything would be fine when that time comes.” Jade nodded deeply. “You’re right.” The couple from the Lynn family was excited to discuss the engagement party attire matters. On the other hand, Sabrina, who had just walked out of the Lynn family house, wandered the streets.

She urgently needed a job and income now.

Still, where could she find a job?

Her phone rang, she thought it was Grace’s hospital who called. She looked at her phone and saw an unknown number, so she picked the call. “Hello? May I know who I am speaking to?” “May I know if this is Sabrina Scott?” The person on the other end of the phone asked politely.

“Yes, I am Sabrina Scott.” “We have received your hand-drafted resumé, may I know if you would be available to come for an interview the day after tomorrow?” The person asked.

The day after tomorrow? It was the day for Sebastian’s engagement party.

Sabrina was so excited that she almost cried. “Yes, I’m available, I’m available. Thank you, thank you for the interview opportunity, that’s great!” After she hung up, Sabrina took a bus to the stationery store, bought some pencils, an eraser, draft paper, a scale ruler, and more. She wanted to practice at home. She did not have a computer, so everything had to be done by hand.

The next day, Sabrina went to the hospital early to see Grace and then returned to her place to start working on her drawings. She drew up various designs till late into the night. She knew that she would not have many opportunities, so she must grab it when an opportunity came by.

She had no room for retreat.

When Sebastian came back at night, he saw that the light in her bedroom was still on. After another hour or two, he went out of his bedroom and noticed the light was still on. He raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door to ask what she was doing.

After giving it some thought, he put his hand down again and went back to bed.

The next day, Sebastian woke up very early.

He had agreed with his mother that he would have a small wedding with Sabrina, reception could be skipped, and they would only do the ceremony. He wanted to pick his mother up with Sabrina, so they could head to the hotel, and preparations could be made.

However, he waited in the living room for around an hour but did not see Sabrina coming out of her room. Sebastian could not help but frown.

‘Has she always been waking up so late before going to the hospital to take care of his mother?’ ‘This woman is truly lazy.’ After he waited for another hour, Sabrina still did not come out of the bedroom. Sebastian’s eyes exuded freezing chill. He got up and went to Sabrina’s bedroom, raised his foot, and ruthlessly kicked the door open.

He was stunned when he looked into the bedroom.

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 13 – Sabrina’s bedroom was in a mess.

As the door opened, a large duffel bag that was left unzipped could be seen. The clothes were scattered messily in the duffel bag and on the bed in a way that looked like a stall at the flea market.

Sebastian took a closer look at it, and the clothes were either incredibly cheap or worn out like old rags.

With the room in such a mess, could it be that Sabrina had run away with the 50,000 USD he had given her?

Sebastian’s gaze remained cool and calm. He closed the door, picked up his keys, and drove straight to the hospital where his mother was.

Sabrina was not at the hospital.

Sebastian took out his phone and dialed Sabrina’s number.

He could probably tolerate her if she deceived him, but deceiving his mother that had only two months of life expectancy left, was pushing his limits!

When the time comes, even if he had to have a bloodbath in South City, he would still capture Sabrina back.

However, the phone only rang once, and Sabrina had already picked it up.

Her tone was slightly agitated. “Mr. Ford, I haven’t gone to Aunt Grace’s place today, I have some matters to handle outside. I need a little more time and I will be right back!” “Where are you?” Sebastian asked, suppressing his anger.

“I…A construction site at South City’s southwest suburbs, I am…” Before Sabrina could finish words, she was interjected by Sebastian.

“Get to the Cloudella Restaurant near the hospital within two hours. Sabrina Scott! Don’t think that I would be merciful because I have given you 50,000 USD! I repeat, during our contract period, your biggest task was to make my mother happy! Otherwise…” “Cloudella Restaurant, right? I would be there in two hours!”. Sabrina immediately hung up.

She was at a construction site to examine the rebar thickness and that was the last segment of her evaluation conducted by the hiring company.

Sabrina stayed up till three o’clock last night drawing the drafts. She got up after only two hours of sleep to pick out her clothes, but no matter how many she changed into, she couldn’t find any more decent clothes. In the end, she chose a black pencil skirt that was almost 80% worn out and a white blouse. She wore a pair of semi-high heels, and went out very early in the morning.

All because she needed to walk five kilometers to take a direct bus to attend the interview.

When she arrived at the company, the recruiter was confused by the way she dressed. “Miss Scott, are you here to apply for the designer position or street cleaner?” Sabrina blushed a little.

She did not explain, but took out a pile of drawings from her bag and handed them to the recruiter.

“These were hand-drawn, and there are notes including the type of room and the type of steel used to bear the weight. I have labeled them all.” The recruiter was stunned.

After a moment, the recruiter said, “I must say, you are very good.” Sabrina was extremely excited. “Thank you, thank you very much!” “However, we would still need to evaluate your on-site capabilities. If you pass the evaluation, then you would be hired,” said the recruiter.

“No problem!” Sabrina immediately followed the recruiter to the construction site in the southern suburbs.

Sabrina had just finished the on-site evaluation when Sebastian called.

She did not want to delay any further and was worried that Grace might have some accidents, so she hung up the phone in a hurry.

As she turned around to leave, Manager Lewis, who recruited her, suddenly called her. “Sabrina, come, do me a favor.” Sabrina stopped in her tracks and asked, “What kind of favor, Manager Lewis?” “Help to move these cinder blocks to that side,” Manager Lewis said nonchalantly.

Sabrina was afraid that she might lose the job she had just found, so she nodded. “Okay.” The thin figure that carried the cinder blocks back and forth attracted the man inside a sports car on the roadside.

“Shabbiest clothes, short bob cut without bangs, no makeup, and a small face─ that is indifferent. This chick looks cold, beautiful, and like someone who has an insane level of self-restraint. I’m 80% sure she’s still a virgin. Zayn, if I get this girl to the bed, what do you think her reaction would be? My guess, absolutely very crazy!”, Nigel Conor said to Zayn Smith while smiling mischievously.

Zayn said in a sulking manner, “Master Nigel, the number of girls that have been with you was so large, are you even able to keep count? This girl looks like a conservative rural girl. If you dally with her, are you not afraid that you can’t get rid of her?” “I haven’t met a woman I couldn’t get rid of!” Nigel sneered, while he looked at Sabrina from the corner of his eyes.

One hundred or more cinder blocks were not much, but as Sabrina was pregnant and wearing heels, she did not dare to carry too many at once. Therefore, it took her half an hour to finish moving them.

She was not too tired, but her heels hurt.

Soon afterward, Sabrina limped toward the curb and waited for the bus.

She waited for more than ten minutes.

Seeing that an hour had passed, Sabrina began to get anxious. Then, a silver-gray sports car stopped in front of her. “Miss, going back to the city? I’ll give you a ride.” Sabrina did not answer, nor did she look at the man in the sports car.

When it comes to strangers, Sabrina has always had a strong guard against them.

“I am the owner’s son of this real estate development company.” When Nigel finished, he shouted at the recruitment manager in the distance, “Old Lewis, come here!” Manager Lewis came over while nodding and bowing. “Young Master Nigel, what are your orders?” “This is a newly recruited employee, right?” Nigel asked.

“Yes, Master Nigel.” “It’s hard to take the bus here, and I happened to be going back─ I’ll give this lady a ride,” said Nigel as she looked at Sabrina.

“Sabrina, quickly thank Master Nigel.” Manager Lewis reminded Sabrina.

Sabrina bit her lips and said embarrassedly, “Thank you.” The car drove straight to the city.

Sabrina did not say a word. She only looked out the window.

“They are taking you as a ghost designer,” Nigel suddenly said.

“What?” Sabrina asked.

“Do you know why Old Lewis asked you to move the blocks? That’s because your job needed you to be able to draw drafts and move blocks.” Nigel looked at Sabrina through the rear-view mirror to observe her reaction.

Sabrina’s cold and indifferent face remained unchanged.

It was as if she already knew the nature of the job she accepted.

“Do you still want this job?” Nigel asked.

“Yes.” Nigel was speechless.

He hasn’t met any woman who did not try to cater to his whim in his surroundings, but this shabby and indifferent village girl did not bother talking to him.

Nigel sneered in his heart and thought, ‘One day, I will make you mine! Whether you would be cold and indifferent, I would worry about that later!’ “Miss, where are you going? I would do another favor and send you to the place,” Nigel asked.

“Uh…there’s a Cloudella Restaurant near Houston Street, do you know it?” Sabrina asked. She did not know why Sebastian told her to go to the Cloudella Restaurant, but she definitely heard the correct address.

The restaurant was not famous, so Nigel did not know.

However, the car had a navigation system.

He switched on the navigation system, and it showed that it would take an hour to arrive at the restaurant.

Sabrina was so anxious that her whole body was sweating. Finally, the car stopped, she got out of the car without saying thank you and ran towards the restaurant door.

“Sabrina! What are you doing here?” Selene, dressed in a wedding dress, blocked the doorway and asked angrily.

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 14 – Sabrina was stunned.

It just occurred to Sabrina that today was Sebastian and Selene’s engagement party.

As early as the day before, Sabrina had heard Lincoln mention it when she went to the Lynn family house to return the money.

She saw Selene wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, a diamond necklace around the neck, diamond earrings, and a flower crown on her head.

Selene was as beautiful as an angel from the heavens.

Selene was indeed the main character today.

Unlike her, what was she even doing here?

She looked at what she was wearing─ a white blouse covered in cinder block dust and a black skirt that was scratched up and covered in lint b***s.

Was she here to beg for food?

‘What kind of ideas did Sebastian have?’ ‘What did Selene and his engagement party have to do with her, and why ask her here to make a fool of herself?’ A wave of anger surged to Sabrina’s heart.

Sabrina looked at Selene with a calm but sad expression. “Yes, what am I doing here?” “You! Sabrina Scott! You’re so shameless! Today is my engagement party with Sebastian! You’re all d***y, and your limping legs cannot even come together. How many men have you just been with, and did you just come to bring bad luck to me? Get lost!” Selene wished to tear Sabrina into pieces!

Was it easy for her to hold this engagement party with Sebastian?

Sebastian did not like publicity, so she had to keep a low profile. Even when having this engagement party, Sebastian also did not notify the Lynn family as they only found out after her father inquired about it.

It was fortunate that the Lynn family also had substantial resources, so it only took a day to prepare everything that was needed. Selene’s engagement dress, accessories, Jade’s dress and Lincoln’s suits were luxurious goods that ranged from a hundred thousand to a few hundred thousand dollars.

The Lynn family even invited a few close relatives and friends.

For a happy event like an engagement party, even if it was low profile, three or five friends still needed to be invited, right?

Jade was bragging to a few friends and family inside the main door, “Although the Ford family is ranking at the top of South City, Sebastian is a low-profile person. Being his mother-in-law, I truly liked Sebastian’s calm and dependable character.” “Mrs. Lynn, Selene is fortunate to marry into the richest family in South City. Congratulations! In the future, friends and relatives like us can also bask in the glory of her success, so don’t be a stranger.” The family and friends smiled and flattered Jade.

The number of women who wanted to marry into South City’s Ford family could probably circle the city if they held each other’s hands, but they still had to see who could be the blessed one.

The blessed people would naturally be surrounded by others who would rush over to pay them their compliments.

While the ladies who the Lynn family invited were all busy flattering Mrs. Lynn, they heard Selene─ who was waiting for Sebastian at the door─ screamed and yelled, “Security, Security! Get this piece of trash away!” When Lincoln and Jade came out and saw Sabrina, the couple became furious.

“Sabrina, you’re truly a piece of work. You must have heard the news of Sebastian and Selene’s engagement the day before yesterday, so you’re here to stir the pot, right?” Jade pointed her fat finger at Sabrina and poked her face.

“Come look at her, everyone! Look at her, her clothes were almost torn apart, and she walks funny. She must have just finished intercourse, and it must have been more than once. I had already forgotten that, Selene said you specialize in that kind of business at night. Did you just come after finishing your business to bring us bad luck?” “Sabrina, we couldn’t do anything for you if you create problems for us.” “However, if you have provoked Sebastian, then you’re just asking to be k****d.” Jade degraded Sabrina with vicious words while using Sebastian’s name to bluster and threaten.

The guests also took turns to accuse and scold Sabrina.

“Did you think you could steal the limelight from Selene just because you’re here? I heard that you were fostered in Selene’s house for eight years. Eight years, but they have raised a venomous snake instead!” “You’re a woman for sale! You came to the wrong place if you’re looking for business here. Even if men who can afford to come here planned on hiring one, they wouldn’t hire such inferior goods like you. You should be walking the streets in the slump instead.” “Still not leaving? What an ungrateful thing! Were you thinking of ruining Selene’s happiness? What are you playing at? Why didn’t you rot in p****n? Get lost! Don’t let Sebastian see you or you would be dismembered!” Lincoln aggressively shoved Sabrina out.

Right at this moment, Sabrina had an urge to bite and k**l!

However, why?

Why did Sebastian ask her here?

Behind her, a voice said frivolously, “She is not a beggar. She is also not the filthy woman you talked about, and she is my partner.” All people present here turned to look at the person behind Sabrina.

“Master Nigel?” Selene asked as she was the first to be shocked.

“Miss Lynn, congratulations on becoming Sebastian’s fiancé.” Nigel’s beautiful peach blossom eyes glanced at Selene.

“Master Nigel, you and her…” Selene looked at Sabrina in disbelief.

“That’s right, Miss Scott got out of my car and she is my partner today for your engagement party.” Nigel reached out his arm and wrapped it around Sabrina’s shoulder.

Sabrina leaned her head helplessly towards Nigel, then looked at Selene and the rest present with a dark cold gaze. “Excuse me, Miss Lynn, Mr. and Mrs. Lynn, I am the partner of Master Nigel who came to your engagement party. I am the guest of honor.” “Follow me in!” A big strong hand suddenly pulled on Sabrina’s arm and dragged her out of Nigel’s arms.

Sabrina raised her head and saw Sebastian.

“Sebastian, you’re finally here! Do I look pretty in this dress today?” Selene quickly asked.

“Sebastian, you see, you wanted to keep a low profile, so we didn’t dare to invite people, but I don’t know how this Sabrina found out…,” Jade smiled and explained.

Halfway through her explanation, she saw the cold murderous look on Sebastian’s face and dared not continue.

“Why are you here?” Sebastian looked inconceivably at the whole Lynn family. He did not invite anyone to his and Sabrina’s engagement party─ only him, Sabrina, the pastor, and his mother.

This wedding was only to fulfill his mother’s wish.

“What?” Selene was stunned.

“Return now!” Sebastian glared at Selene with an extremely frosty gaze. “Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!” The Lynn family and their guests were all speechless.

Sebastian then turned his frosty gaze that was as sharp as a sword to Nigel.

“Se…Sebastian. You’re holding my…” Nigel could not even complete his sentence.

Sebastian’s arms on Sabrina’s shoulder tightened. “Follow me in and change into a wedding dress now!”

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 15 – Sabrina stood frozen and was dumbfounded.

“What…What did you say?” Even though she had always been calm and indifferent when she faced with everything, she was shocked to the core when she heard what Sebastian said.

“Woman! You have delayed things long enough!” Sebastian had never intended to explain to Sabrina.

He forcefully dragged her by her arm into the deeper end of the restaurant.

Behind him was a stunned Nigel─ the person who had just driven Sabrina here from the construction site and pretended to be Sabrina’s partner. Nigel held his forehead while he fumbled to take his phone out and nervously dialed a number.

Soon, the person on the other end picked up his call.

“Zayn, I may be d**d soon.” Nigel’s voice quivered.

Zayn, who was driving, teased and asked, “What happened? Master Nigel, don’t tell me that you have already gotten with the girl you abducted an hour ago, and she almost took your life in the process?” “I am in no mood to joke! That person was Sebastian’s woman.” Zayn did not have the words to reply.

After a moment, Zayn said in an insincere manner, “Uh, Nigel, I …am driving now, so it’s not convenient for me to talk on the phone, bye-bye!” Nigel was speechless. On the phone, the dial tone turned to a busy tone. He was in a panic when his arm was held on by a pretty girl with colors drained from her face. Nigel shuddered in fright, then quickly shook off the pretty girl’s hand. “What do you want?” “Ma…Master Nigel, help me, please help… explain to me, just now, what happened?” Selene’s lips were quivering, her makeup smudged by her tears, and she looked like a ghost as she stared at Nigel in a tremble.

Nigel felt disgusted and pushed Selene away.

He could not help but snicker in his heart.

‘There was still such an idiot in the world!’ “It was obvious that he was not here to be engaged to you, but you got all dressed up and waited for him here.” “So…Sorry, I am in trouble myself, I couldn’t help you. I’ll leave now, I need to go get an amulet to protect me from fatalities quickly.” Nigel said, with raised eyebrows and shrugged shoulders. Then he walked out of the restaurant with big strides.

Selene was embarrassed and in despair.

She turned around and saw Sebastian clutching Sabrina. They were still at the deeper end of the corridor and had not gone in. It was unclear where she had the courage, but Selene carried her wedding dress and quickly caught them up.

Selene swiftly blocked herself in front of Sebastian and Sabrina, recklessly grabbed Sabrina, and asked with her teeth clenched, “Sabrina Scott! Did you do it on purpose? You intentionally ruined my engagement party with Sebastian. Sabrina Scott, my family raised you since you were twelve, and you bit the hand that fed you. How could you be vicious? You’re vicious!” Selene’s face was a mess from crying.

Sabrina, on the other hand, was calm without batting an eyelid. “Miss Lynn, today is my wedding day.

This is my husband, and we had already gotten our marriage certificate. It’s a legal marriage. We’ve never wanted to invite you to our wedding. You came of your own volition, and you even wore a wedding dress. Are you trying to tell the world that you wish to become a homewrecker?” “I’ve lived for so long, but this is my first time meeting a homewrecker as shameless as you.” “Even if I take a million steps back and forgive you for being the homewrecker.” “Even so, you still need to ask, did my husband agree?” Her tone was extremely cold.

Each word cuts like a knife.

It was the way the Lynn family and the relatives they invited went out of their way to insult Sabrina that made her annoyed.

“A few days ago Sebastian had promised me that he would marry me two months later!” Selene did not dare to look at Sebastian’s cold and grim face but only spoke to Sabrina maliciously.

Sabrina’s tone became even plainer. “Did that have anything to do with me?” Selene was speechless.

She was not content!

How could this have happened?

Everyone in South City knew that she, Selene Lynn, would marry Sebastian in two months. The Lynn family had also invited a lot of friends and relatives today. However, she and her parents had become a complete joke in front of them today.

How could they save their faces after this?

At this moment, Selene could not care about the rest but only felt an endless discontentment. Selene fearlessly held Sebastian, who had been furious for a long time, and pleaded, “Sebastian, you came to my house a few days ago, and personally told my parents that you would marry me in two months, have you already forgotten, Sebastian?” Sebastian glared at Selene with a cold, sharp gaze and said with his teeth clenched, “I said two months later, not now!” Selene was speechless.

Sebastian handed Sabrina to the make-up artist, who came in the opposite direction and said, “In half an hour, my mother would be here. Take her to change into the wedding dress and put on make-up right away!” “Yes, Director Ford.” The make-up artist brought Sabrina to the make-up room.

Sebastian then shot his deadly chilling eyes onto Selene.

Selene shuddered in fear.

Selene suddenly recalled that she was the real impostor, and she had taken Sabrina’s place to be Sebastian’s fiancé. Could it be that Sebastian already knew that the girl who used her body to save him that night was Sabrina and not her?

If Sebastian had found out about that matter, the whole Lynn family would be eliminated by him.

Selene trembled as she was frightened. “Se…Sebastian, I’m sorry, I will leave right away.” Before she finished her sentence, Sebastian had already grabbed her by the arm as if she was a chick and shoved her out to the door. At that moment, Lincoln and Jade were anxiously looking deep into the restaurant.

Finally, their daughter came out as they had hoped.

However, she was shoved out by Sebastian.

Lincoln and Jade were so frightened when they saw that and almost fell to the floor.

Lincoln mustered up all his courage and carefully said, “Young…Young Master Sebastian.” “Listen!” Sebastian said without expression on his face, “If Selene hadn’t saved me, I would have gotten her k****d on the spot. Now I’m asking you again, do you want compensation or marriage?” Lincoln and Jade were in a fear state for quite some time.

They thought Sebastian brought Sabrina to wear the wedding dress because he had already known that they were deceiving him.

However, it did not seem like it now.

Lincoln immediately kept nodding his head and said, “We…We would do as you say.” “If you want me to marry your daughter in two months ,then get lost now! Don’t show up here,” Sebastian said impatiently.

The Lynn family was truly disgusted.

However, Sebastian could not be heartless to a person who had saved his life.

Lincoln nodded his head, slightly bowed, and wiped the sweat on his forehead: “Yes, yes, yes, we’ll …… get lost now, get lost now.” After that, he grabbed Jade in one hand and his daughter, who was still trembling in fear, stumbled out of the Cloudella restaurant.

Sebastian straightened his suit and turned around. He walked towards the deeper end of the corridor and arrived at the dressing room. The door opened with only a slight push.

When he entered the dressing room, Sebastian was instantly stunned.

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 16 – The woman in front of him had taken off the tattered pencil skirt and the white blouse. She had changed into a wedding dress and wore crystal heels. The height of the pair of crystal heels was ten centimeters.

Donning the heels, Sabrina seemed even taller, despite the fact that she was already 170 centimeters tall. Besides, the heels accentuated her well-proportioned long legs.

She had only changed her clothes and had not applied make-up yet.

The way she looked without make-up was enough to stun Sebastian.

She had a natural sense of coldness that she was not aware of, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her. After having this exquisite wedding dress on, her beauty became even more effortless and unrestrained.

She looked right into his eyes with an innocent and cold look in her eyes, but did not say a word.

Sebastian felt a sudden burst of anger in his heart without knowing why.

His voice was cold with a tinge of hoarseness. “What were you up to this morning? Did you know that you nearly missed my big event?!” “Is this our wedding?” Sabrina asked straightforwardly.

After asking that, she said to herself, “I don’t need this wedding! I think you don’t need it either. You are going to marry Selene in two months anyway. If you hold a wedding with me now in front of the Lynn family, they would treat me as their sworn enemy!” The man immediately pinched on Sabrina’s tiny chin. “Listen, whatever that is going on between you and the Lynn family- whether you owe them or vice versa, or whatever type of tangled relationships you have, I do not care to ask.” “There was also Nigel Connor!” “Today was supposed to be our wedding day, but you walked out of Nigel’s car in a messy dress.” “It seemed like you are truly a woman with a past as messy as a puddle of muddy water!” When the man said these words, there was an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

He was inexplicably annoyed.

He saw everything clearly from the moment she got out of Nigel’s car. Sebastian was in his car and was on the phone with the hospital at that time. He wanted the hospital to delay sending his mother over by one hour.

He witnessed Nigel getting out of the car as well when he hung up the phone.

Nigel placed his arm around Sabrina in front of the crowd, and she even looked like she enjoyed leaning on Nigel’s shoulder.

Truly shameless!

“Mr. Ford!” Sabrina’s chin was hurting from being pinched by him.

However, she gritted her teeth and did not scream in pain. She said in a plain tone, “The thing between the two of us is only a two-month contractual relationship. When I went to the Lynn’s, you discussed your wedding with the Lynn family in front of me, and I didn’t even bother you at all, so I hope you wouldn’t interfere with matters regarding my personal relationships too.” The man sneered. ‘This woman truly had a lot of guts.’ She dared to bargain with him.

“Did you think you have a say when it comes to me?” Sebastian asked with a light snort.

Sabrina said, “Why?! We are in a partnership, why shouldn’t I have a say?” “I am the one paying you, and you are the one serving me, of course you don’t have a say! Since you signed the contract with me, you should properly marry me, play your part as Mrs. Ford, and diligently serve your mother-in-law! If I find out about your c**p during my marriage with you, you would d*e without a b****l place!” said Sebastian with a flat tone as well.

It was almost impossible to detect his emotions from his words.

However, Sabrina understood well that he was indeed vicious, but he was also a man with money, power, and influence.

Otherwise, the Lynn family would not be afraid of him and behaved like lackeys in front of him. On the other hand, Selene was so eager to marry him.

Sabrina bit her lips and softened her tone. “I went to the construction site for an interview today. Master Nigel is the owner’s son of the real estate company that I applied to. When you called me to come here in a hurry, I could not wait for the bus and he offered to send me here. That was all we were.” “What job did you apply for?” The man frowned.

“Bricklayer.” Sabrina’s tone sounded a little down.

She had taken the trouble to hand-draw the designs and construction drawings. She had drawn so perfectly and meticulously. However, the recruiter did not want her as much because she did not have any academic achievements.

Unexpectedly, he hired her as a ghost designer instead.

A ghost designer was an anonymous designer who specialized in providing drawings for other slightly more established designers in the field. All the credit would go to the other designer.

She would get nothing, no matter how great her drawings were.

Moreover, she understood from Nigel’s words that a huge portion of her work in the future might be doing odd jobs on the construction site.

“You’re going to move bricks at the construction site?” Sebastian did not expect that at all.

“Are you, Mr. Ford, going to be restricting my work as well?” Sabrina asked with a sneer.

The man’s anger has reduced quite a bit. He released Sabrina and instructed the make-up artist, “Do her make-up. I’ll wait outside.” “Alright, Director Ford.” The make-up artist took Sabrina to the inner room. There was a make-up table in the room with all kinds of cosmetics and skincare products.

Sabrina’s make-up was complete after half an hour.

After the make-up artist put the veil on her, Sabrina walked out of the make-up room. Sebastian─ who was sitting outside the door ─ saw Sabrina, and he was suddenly stunned again.

Sabrina was indeed really beautiful.

Without any make-up, she had a natural sense of coldness that she was not aware of. After putting on make-up, she exuded a kind of unique beauty that was aloof.

If Selene, who was also wearing a wedding dress but had heavy make-up, was standing right in front of Sabrina at this moment, she could not be compared to Sabrina.

After Sebastian froze for a few seconds, he raised his elbow and ordered her, “Take my arm.” Sabrina was speechless.

Apart from having collided with him in the bathroom on the first day she stayed at his place and being pulled in just now as he forcefully clutched her wrist, she had not had close contact with him, let alone to hold his arm.

They were extremely unfamiliar with each other.

When she was still hesitating, the man grabbed her arm and forcefully stuffed it into his bent elbow.

Sabrina suddenly had a dazed sensation.

She recalled the man who was d***g in the darkness. The man was very strong and domineering. After he thoroughly enjoyed the front, he made her turn her back to face him. She was controlled by the man in his arms and did not have any power to counter, let alone seeing that man. She only remembered that man also lifted her arm in such a strong way, and the way Sebastian lifted her arm felt the same.

The man had already led her towards the front end of the restaurant while she was in a daze.

Sabrina knew that he must have wanted her to greet someone with him.

The two stood at the restaurant entrance, and they saw someone pushing a wheelchair towards them.

Sabrina took a look and saw that the person in the wheelchair was indeed Grace.

Grace looked at Sabrina with a benevolent face and asked, “Sabbie, did you like this surprise from me?”

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 17 – Sabrina instantly understood everything.

It turned out that it was Grace who specially arranged this.

Grace had told her a few days ago that she would give her a surprise.

Sabrina suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart.

No matter how Sebastian treated her, Grace was the only warmth in Sabrina’s life in this cold world.

Grace only had two months to live, so for the sake of Grace, Sabrina had to cooperate with Sebastian and put on a full show.

“Thank you, mom. I like this surprise very much. Mom, look, this is the wedding dress Sebastian had prepared for me. Does it look good?” Sabrina lifted a corner of her wedding dress and asked.

Grace surveyed the dress a few times, and then she began to tear up.

“Sabbie, I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful with make-up on. You and Sebastian are truly a match made in heaven.” Grace was grinning from ear to ear.

What she said was not false.

It was not only Grace who felt that Sabrina and Sebastian were a match made in heaven, but the staff in the restaurant felt that the couple was a perfect match too.

“Sabbie, I have never been married in my life, and had not worn a wedding dress, so I especially hoped that you could wear a wedding dress and be married in a highly honored manner. However, Sebastian did not want to be too showy because of my illness. So, your wedding was scheduled here. No one was invited, but I could give my blessings to you. Is that okay?” Grace asked Sabrina apologetically.

Sabrina certainly knew the reason Sebastian did not want something showy. It was because they were only in a contractual relationship.

However, she did not say anything upfront. She only smiled and said, “Mom, your blessings are enough. Even if more outsiders attended this wedding, I would not know them either. I would be living with Sebastian in the future and not with others, so what do I need so many people for?” Grace became even happier when she heard that. She raised her wrist to hold Sabrina’s hand, casually put an emerald green bracelet on Sabrina’s wrist, and said with a smile, “My daughter-in-law is the most understanding and kind. I am happy. I would also be at ease even if I were to cross over to the other side.” Sabrina held on to Grace’s hand, pretended to be angry, and said, “Mom, today is a joyous occasion for Sebastian and I, you are not allowed to say such things.” “Okay, okay, let’s go in.” Grace laughed.

Sebastian, who Sabrina was holding, did not say much during the whole journey. He was very confused. How could Sabrina, who had been cold in front of everyone else, say so much when she was with his mother? She coaxed his mother to be really happy.

Sebastian’s heart could not help but to be moved a little.

The couple walked hand in hand, and next to them was Grace in the wheelchair. The three of them got to the small hall on the restaurant’s top floor. Everything had been set up properly, and a priest was standing at the front of the hall.

When she walked into such an environment, Sabrina suddenly felt that this was her real wedding and had a sanctity feeling.

However, she abruptly felt ridiculous with her own feelings at the moment.

Could she still have an actual wedding with the man she loves in this lifetime?

She did not think so.

Who on earth would want a woman out of p****n, did not have a place to stay, could not find a job, and would be having a child out of wedlock?

There would not be anyone.

She should treat this wedding as her real wedding then.

Sabrina stood in front of the priest and listened to the teachings.

When the priest asked her, “Are you willing to marry Sebastian Ford? Whether in good times or bad, whether he is poor or rich, whether he is healthy or sick, would you love him unreservedly and be faithful to him forever?” Sabrina nodded affirmatively and said, “I do!” She felt an incomparable sadness in her heart despite saying that.

She silently said to her baby, “Baby, did you witness mommy’s wedding? Mommy may never get married again in this life, but mommy would think of it as finding you a daddy, okay?” The priest’s voice sounded in their ears, “The bride and groom may exchange rings.” Sebastian bought the rings in advance. Sabrina had no clue whether the quality was good or bad. She only followed the steps and exchanged the rings with Sebastian. When Sebastian lifted her hand to put the ring on her, Sabrina had the feeling of that night again.

There was a kind of illusion that Sebastian was that man.

“Groom, you may kiss your bride.” The priest’s light-hearted tone once again pulled Sabrina back from her thoughts.

Sabrina’s mind went dazed for a moment.

To kiss Sebastian here?

How could she?

She could not bring herself to kiss two men in the short span of two months, even if she had not seen that d**d man.

She felt a sense of guilt in her heart, and she would be disgusted with herself.

Subconsciously, Sabrina turned her head away to the side. From afar, Grace, who was sitting in the spectator seat, thought Sabrina was shy. Grace looked at the couple with an amiable smile.

On the other hand, Sebastian forcefully leaned down, touched her lips with precision, and kissed her.

She had nowhere to run and could not struggle in front of Grace. The feeling of being controlled by him in his arms once again reminded her of that d**d man.

Both Sebastian and that man had the same domineering force.

After this kiss, her whole face was flushed red like the color of the blood, and Sebastian also had a different feeling. He always felt as if he had met her before.

The unknown feeling made him extremely annoyed in his heart.

His mother was next to him and said, “I wish you two to grow old together.” A wedding witnessed only by the priest, and the mother came to an end. However, in a certain corner outside the restaurant, there were still three people in hiding.

It was Lincoln, Jade and Selene, the family of three. They have suffered such a disgrace, so how would they be contented?

Selene was especially jealous to the point of frenzy.

The family of three was pondering behind the scenes. Since Sebastian did not know Sabrina was the person who saved him with her body that day, why would he want to marry Sabrina but promised to marry Selene two months later?

There must be some other reasons for all of these.

Coincidentally, a woman dressed as a care worker passed by them at that time. Jade went up and paid some compliments to the 50 year old care worker, then pretended in a nonchalant tone and asked, “Why did the couple hold a very low-profile wedding? They didn’t even invite their friends and family?” “Well,” the care worker sighed, “It’s quite sad. This lady’s son is a successful person, but she only had two months to live. This daughter-in-law was someone the old lady desired, but the son did not seem to like her. However, he still wanted to fulfill the old lady’s wish, so they held a low profile wedding here.” Jade did not respond.

So that was it!

She told her husband, Lincoln, and her daughter, Selene, the good news.

Selene became even more jealous, “How could Sabrina gain the affection of Sebastian’s mother? I would make her d*e a miserable d***h!” Selene took out her phone and dialed a set of numbers. “Hayes, help me deal with a woman, the price is whatever you want!”

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 18 – The man on the other end of the line, Hayes, was a thug that worked this part of South City. All the d***y jobs before and after Sabrina’s imprisonment were operated entirely by Hayes.

The Lynn family had engaged with Hayes more than once.

Selene thought she might as well go big this time.

The Lynn family did not want to take Sabrina’s life before Selene and Sebastian’s wedding initially.

They were afraid it would cause a huge trouble, and the wedding would be affected, but there was also another reason. Selene wanted to personally deliver the news to Sabrina that all the happiness she got was exchanged with Sabrina’s body.

Selene wanted to make Sabrina furious.

However, Selene could not care any less now.

She wanted Sabrina to d*e!

She wanted her d**d immediately.

On the other end, Hayes asked for ten million dollars at one go.

Selene was shocked, “Hayes! Your appetite is too big, no?” Hayes, however, let out a peal of wicked laughter. “I know who the person you wanted me to take care of is. I would not only help you do a clean job but I would also let her have a terrible end. Your hatred would be resolved then, wouldn’t it? Also, if you are willing to, you could witness it yourself how I torture her. Don’t you think it’s worth the price I named?” Selene agreed on the spot. “Alright. If it takes ten million, then ten million it is.” Although that sum was not a small sum for the Lynn family, Selene thought about how she would be married to Sebastian soon and become the woman of the house in the Ford family, so Selene felt that ten million was not a problem at all.

After she made an agreeable arrangement with Hayes, Selene hung up the phone and sneered to herself. “Sabrina! Everything that was supposed to belong to you is mine, mine! You have completed your mission, so you should go to h**l, go d*e!” Selene glanced back viciously towards Cloudella Restaurant, then quickly left. Sabrina happened to be pushing Grace in a wheelchair out of the restaurant.

“Mom, could you come home to stay today?” Sabrina asked. She knew that it was impossible, but she still had to ask.

Grace’s illness was so serious that even if she came to the wedding, she had to be accompanied by the medical staff, and the doctor only allowed her to come out for three hours. After three hours, she immediately had to go back to the ward.

Grace shook her head with a smile on her face, “Silly girl, today is your wedding day with Sebastian.

You should be spending a good time with him alone, so how could I be the third wheel? I would have the medical staff accompany me back to the hospital so that I would be fine. You and Sebastian go straight home.” “Okay, Mom.” Sabrina watched Grace as she got in the car. She kept her eyes on her until the car drove away. When she turned around again, Sebastian was already nowhere to be found.

Sabrina could not help but had a dejected smile.

It was only a deal, after all.

He was doing it all to please his mother.

On the other hand, Sabrina was doing it because Grace was the only warmth in her world.

Regardless of what misunderstandings Sebastian had towards her, no matter how harsh or cold, she would accompany Grace to walk through her last journey of life.

Sabrina dragged her floor-length wedding dress through the hall and headed for the dressing room. A group of attendants looked at her with a strange gaze. Sabrina rushed to the dressing room, but she did not see her clothes she had changed out of.

An attendant approached her and asked, “What are you looking for?” “I…Where are my clothes?” Sabrina asked.

“Huh?” “A black pencil skirt and white blouse that was slightly d***y…” “Oh, that? We thought it was trash, so we threw it out.” Sabrina was speechless.

How could she leave and take the bus without changing into casual wear?

She could not just take the bus in a wedding dress and crystal heels, right?

She took her phone out to call Sebastian, but he did not answer.

Sabrina sat alone in the hall in her wedding dress, not knowing where to go.

An hour ago, she was the beautiful bride that everyone envied, but now, like Selene, she had become a joke in the restaurant.

She picked up her phone and typed a text to Sebastian. [Are you not going to let me go back to your place? Please advise.] Sebastian did not reply to the text.

Sabrina waited for two whole hours in the restaurant.

It was getting dark, and it looked like she had to take the bus in her wedding dress to get back to Sebastian’s place. When she was about to get up, a polite voice said, “Miss Scott, Master Sebastian had something to attend to, so he had already left. I would be responsible for sending you back.” After seeing the arrival of Kingston─ Sebastian’s assistant─ Sabrina finally said with a sense of relief, “Mm.” When she got back to Sebastian’s place, the living room was quiet, so she guessed that he had already gone to bed.

Sabrina was about to go back to her bedroom and change out of her wedding dress when she suddenly saw the emerald green bracelet Grace had put on her wrist.

This bracelet should be worth quite a lot of money. Sabrina would never be so naive to think that Sebastian would give this bracelet to her. She took the bracelet off, stood outside Sebastian’s bedroom door, and knocked, but there was no sound inside.

Sabrina knocked again, but the door opened by itself.

Sabrina pushed further the door and looked. Sebastian was not in the bedroom.

He had not come back yet.

Sabrina guessed that Sebastian should be at the Lynn’s to comfort Selene at the moment. She would turn around and leave, but she felt that a valuable bracelet like this should be returned to him for storage as soon as possible. She walked in and put the bracelet on Sebastian’s bedside table. When she returned to the door to go out, Sabrina realized that the door would not open.

She panicked for a moment.

She tilted her head to investigate where the concealed lock on the door handle was but could not find it.

The door is no different from an ordinary room door and the door handle also had no concealed lock, but why wouldn’t it open?

She pushed and pulled hard. The door would not budge when she pressed on the door handle hard too.

Sabrina was all sweaty but she still could not open it in the end.

She could only return to Sebastian’s bedside table. She wanted to pull the drawer open to see if there was a key or door card. However, as she pulled the drawer open, a shiny dagger suddenly shot out of the drawer and flew straight in her direction.

“Ah…” Sabrina was so shocked and terrified, and the colors drained from her face.

However, nothing dangerous happened. The dagger only touched Sabrina’s body and then automatically bounced back.

The dagger was stuck to the wall, and there was a line above it.

Sabrina only realized what was written above after she paid close attention to it. ‘The first time was only a false alarm. If you dared to move anything in the room again, you would be hacked to d***h.’ Sabrina was frightened. She broke out in a cold sweat, and could not even stand still. She hardly recovered from the initial shock and wanted to hold the bed for support, but she quickly drew her hand back in fear when she almost touched the blanket.

She did not dare to touch anything and could only cower in the corner next to the door.

She thought she was done for.

Sebastian would not let her go when he returned, even if the hidden weapons in Sebastian’s room did not hack her to d***h.

She cowered in the corner as she hugged her knees, and she fell asleep without realizing it.

Sebastian─ who returned late at night─ came to the bedroom door and immediately noticed that someone had touched his door. Sebastian was alarmed and immediately pushed it open, and then he saw the woman cowering in the corner.

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 19 – Why would she be in the bedroom?

A bloodthirsty cold light flashed in Sebastian’s eyes.

After the wedding, he received an urgent phone call from Old Master Ford─ Henry Ford─ asking him to return.

Old Master Ford was 96 years old, and even though he had retired from his position as the head of the Ford family for almost 40 years, the Old Master was still an authoritative presence in the Ford family.

Similar to a king’s father.

A month or so ago, when Sebastian took control of the Ford Group in one fell swoop and eradicated all the hidden troubles, the old man gave him an order.

“Sebastian, since you have eradicated all the hindrances, then you should not take out the ones that are left behind anymore. If you could promise grandpa, I would never interfere with your affairs in the future.” Henry said. It was partly an order but also partly a plea.

Sebastian replied with a cold and dark expression, “Yes!” Sebastian took charge of the Ford’s in the past two months, and the old man had never intervened in his matters.

However, when the wedding finished today and even before he had time to send his mother back to the hospital, the old man urgently asked him to return.

Sebastian thought that the old man had heard about his marriage, but when he arrived at the mansion, he saw his cousin, Nigel Conor, the son of Sebastian’s second paternal aunt, at the mansion. Nigel was seeking help from Henry.

“Sebastian, you had promised me that you would not eradicate anyone anymore,” Old Master Ford said as soon as he opened his mouth.

Henry had witnessed how vicious this grandson of his could be in the past two months.

“Sebastian… I, I really did not know she was your woman. I saw her wearing a bunch of rags and moving bricks on the construction site. I thought she was a pitiful little girl from the countryside… Forgive me, Sebastian, please?” Nigel’s legs were trembling, teeth were chattering, and his tongue was tied.

Nigel was unsure that Sebastian would not shoot him on the spot even if he used his grandpa help him plead to Sebastian.

He had ideas for Sebastian Ford’s woman!

The thought of it was simply asking for d***h.

Sebastian ruffled Nigel’s hair and said, “Nigel, help aunt and uncle manage the company more in the future. If you keep having the company of so many women at such a young age, your body would sooner or later be hollowed out!” His cousin’s words were cold and solemn, but Nigel understood his meaning of pardon.

Nigel was so grateful that he wanted to kneel before Sebastian, “Thank you, thank you, Sebastian, for the kindness of sparing my life.” “Sebastian, what was the matter with that woman Nigel was talking about?” Old Master Ford asked with a p***r face, “I don’t intervene with your affairs, but you couldn’t just bring any random woman home! Your family should meet the woman you would like to marry, right?” “The woman was a consolation to my mother before she passes,” Sebastian told the old man truthfully.

“After your mother’s f*****l, you must cut all ties with this woman,” the old man said with an expressionless face.

“Mm,” Sebastian replied briefly.

“Your grandmother had not seen you for more than a month. Stay for a meal and then go back!” The old man said with a tone that indicated it was non-negotiable.

Sebastian received a text from Sabrina during dinner. He then remembered that Sabrina was still in the restaurant. He immediately asked his assistant, Kingston, to pick her up.

However, Sabrina was unexpectedly in his bedroom.

His bedroom was also the family room, which was connected to the study and the large terrace. The family room was full of secret security mechanisms. If someone barged in and touched anything, the first touch would result in a warning.

If the person touched the second time, the result would be a tragic d***h.

Moreover, the bedroom door was installed conversely to the average door. Any strangers could easily enter if they wanted to, as it would only take a push to come in.

If the person wanted to exit the room, it would be impossible.

It was like catching fish with a trap.

What exactly was this woman’s intention for him? How dared she broke into his bedroom when he was not home?

Sebastian’s perception of her would be refreshed every time he dealt with her.

He squatted in front of her and looked at her with a bone-chilling gaze.

Sabrina was still cowering in the corner, and the wedding dress was still on. Sebastian had to admit that this wedding dress suited Sabrina very well. The shallow V-neck design on the front and back outlined her faintly discernible beautiful back. Her shoulder blades were clearly visible as Sabrina was too thin.

Her short bob visually lengthened her slender pearly neck, and as she was in a position where she was half lying on her hands, her nape along with her exposed back formed an extremely beautiful arc.

The X-shaped design on the waistline of the dress cinched her waist into a prominent tiny waist that looked almost too delicate. Sebastian subconsciously spread his hand to have a look, and he then estimated that there would still be space in his hands even if he pinched her waist with both of his hands.

She hugged her knees in her arms, and her chin was resting on the back of her hands. She closed her eyes and fell asleep with tears hanging at the corner of her eyes. There was a difference in her when she was asleep compared to when she was awake. She was not as calm and composed when she was asleep.

She looked more like a panicking helpless child instead.

Those pearly teardrops, flustered eyelashes, and her slightly contracted eyebrows indicated that she was in fear.

This reminded Sebastian of that night more than a month ago. The body language Selene expressed that night was also this.

Sebastian subconsciously swallowed a little, and his protruding Adam’s apple rolled slightly.

Suddenly, he remembered that the person in front of her was not Selene.

She was a woman who sought trouble by taking advantage of his absence to barge into his bedroom.

Sebastian raised his large hand, fiercely pinched Sabrina’s chin without hesitation, and forced her to raise her head.

Sabrina was having a nightmare.

She had lost her parents, was penniless, and was being chased by a group of villains.

“Please let me go, okay? Let me give birth to my child and find a good family for him to be adopted, then you guys could k**l me, please…” She bitterly begged the other party in her dream.

The other party only smiled eerily at her.

They forced and closed in on her step by step.

She was violently pushed off the cliff by the leader of the villains the moment she shed tears of despair.

“Ah…” Sabrina woke up in pain.

When she woke up, she saw Sebastian’s cold, sharp, and deep gaze staring at her. “Talk! Why did you break into my room?! Are you looking for d***h?” Sebastian’s tight pinch on her chin was so painful that her tears fell out.

“I…” Her eyelashes were covered in cloudy mist from her fearful tears. “I…The bracelet your mother gave me was expensive. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving it in the living room, so I wanted to…knock on the door to return it to you, I…only knocked lightly and the door opened by itself, I…” Before she fell asleep, she already knew she would d*e today, no matter what.

She felt a deep sorrow in her heart.

What did she do wrong?

She needed to live on the charity of others for eight years, imprisoned for someone else’s mistakes, defiled by someone, and have a baby by some freak mistake. Although the child was a result of the unmentionable incident, the child was still the only biological family she had, so she wanted to give birth and spend the rest of her life with the baby. However, G*d would not even give her this opportunity.

Sabrina desperately looked at Sebastian. The original pitiful and helpless little face suddenly became as cold and bland as ever. “I’m at your disposal.” The man let go of her chin, bent over and dragged her up by the waist. Her footing was unstable, so without thinking it, both her hands were wrapped around his neck.

The man’s lips slowly approached her.

Sabrina could smell a nice tobacco fragrance, instantly blushed, and her hands subconsciously pushed him away, “No…”

Read Punished by His Love [by Suzie] Chapter 20 – “Listen!” The man’s low mellow, and cold voice articulated the following few words. “Barge into my room without permission again, you’re d**d!” Sabrina looked like a lost deer, her long curly eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and she nodded her head with all her might.

The man turned around and picked up the emerald green bracelet from the bedside table. He then carried Sabrina, pushed the door open, entered Sabrina’s room and placed her down. After that, he put the bracelet back on her wrist and said, “Wear it tomorrow to visit my mother, she would be happier.” “I…got it.” Her tiny and faint voice was caught in her throat as she answered him warily.

The man turned around and left.

Sabrina then flew to have the room door closed and leaned her whole weight on the door. Her legs no longer have the strength to support her, so she dropped onto the floor and breathed heavily.

She felt like she had walked through the gates of h**l.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

After she calmed herself down, she took off her wedding dress and crystal heels, and washed up before going to bed.

The following day was going to be her first day at work, so she must be in good shape.

Sabrina got up early and went to visit Grace the next morning. She deliberately showed Grace the bracelet with a bashful expression on her face.

Grace was indeed happy to see it.

Sabrina accompanied her to talk for a while and then wanted to leave. “Mom, I have to go to work today, so I couldn’t accompany you, but I would see you again in the evening.” “Sabbie, you are only on your second day of marriage, why are you going to work?” Grace asked, puzzled.

Sabrina pretended to be angry and said, “Mom! Who told you to swoop in and gave me a wedding without telling me first? I’ve just found a job, and it’s architectural design, which is what I like, and you know it’s my dream too.” “Alright, alright, alright, I congratulate you for finding a job you like, go to work and remember to come and talk to mom after work,” Grace replied in a very doting tone.

Sabrina went to report to her new company without any problems.

As Nigel─ who sent her back yesterday─said, after Sabrina arrived, the leader of the design department sent her to a construction site in the suburbs in South city. The person said it was to allow Sabrina to adapt for a while, but Sabrina was sent there to do odd jobs on the site in reality.

However, Sabrina was extremely happy.

She was on a salary of an Architectural Assistant, which was a much higher pay than general workers on site. As long as she worked for a full month, she would be able to get her salary, and then she could do a second pregnancy check. She would also have enough to pay for a ticket back to her hometown to investigate her mother’s cause of d***h.

Therefore, Sabrina did not care how tough the work would be.

Sabrina worked odd jobs at the construction site for three consecutive days.

She had to make a trip to visit Grace every morning, went for her manual work during the day, and revisit Grace after work. Hence, after three consecutive days, she was so tired that she did not want to eat dinner and fell asleep the minute she laid in bed.

When she woke up the next day, she realized that her time to leave the house was nearly an hour later than yesterday. Sabrina quickly got up to clean up, and ran straight to catch the bus to the hospital. At the hospital, she could only spend a little time with Grace before heading to the construction site.

She got off the bus and ran to the construction site at full speed to not be late and leave an initial good impression on her boss.

When she was almost at the place, she collided with a stranger.

“Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry,” Sabrina hastily apologized and left in a hurry.

The man she bumped was Hayes.

Hayes looked at Sabrina’s back with a sinister smile on his face. “I’ve been looking for you for a few days, and I can’t believe I bumped into you here!” Hayes followed Sabrina and watched her get to work on the construction site before he took out his phone to call Selene. “Miss Lynn, I’ve found the person you wanted, guess what she’s doing? She’s working as a construction worker on the site, and that’s the kind of work for roughnecks! Are you sure she’s the one who’s stealing your husband?” Selene sneered in triumph. “Sabrina is working odd jobs on the construction site? Haha! I’m laughing my *ss off! She indeed wants to steal my husband and ruin my happiness, but how would it be possible for my fiancé to fall in love with her?” “Do you still want her life then?” Hayes asked.

“Of course I do! Not only do I want her life, but I also have to play some tricks on her. Didn’t you tell me last time that you could let me watch you torture her with my own eyes?” Selene hummed a light- hearted tune and asked Hayes.

“As long as the money is in place, say the word, and you could torture her however you want!” Hayes said.

“That would be a real treat, hehe!” Selene felt extremely contented.

Since Sabrina was just a tool that Sebastian used to console his mother, Selene’s desire to inform Sabrina of the truth before she died became even stronger.

She would soon be able to see Sabrina’s surprised, angered, painful, discontented yet helpless face.

‘Haha!’ Sabrina was waiting for the bus after work when she was snatched away in a van without a license plate. The van took Sabrina to an abandoned warehouse before undoing the cover on her head.

Sabrina was terrified.

The nightmare that she had in Sebastian’s bedroom a few days ago came true, and a gang of vicious people kidnapped her.

The man that seemed like the head of the group was a dark and rough skinned man. He looked like those villains who burned, k****d, and robbed at first glance. The man reached out to snatch the bracelet off Sabrina’s wrist, then said to his men, “Don’t touch her!” “Boss, she is going to be d**d anyway, why don’t you let us have some fun with her?’’ one of the men lewdly begged.

When she heard those words, Sabrina closed her eyes in despair, and two rows of tears slipped down her cheeks.

“I would definitely let you guys have a good time, but this woman is still our goods now. Let Miss Lynn come and see with her own eyes. Afterwards, you guys could dispose of it. Whoever dared to touch this thing, even a little, would be doomed!” Hayes ordered.

“Yes, Boss Hayes!” No one under his command dared to disobey Hayes.

After he gave his orders, Hayes took the bracelet out to inquire about the price. He then found out the bracelet was worth several millions after inquiring clearly.

The person at the jewelry store did not even ask where it came from, and wanted to acquired it in cash.

Hayes immediately sold the bracelet to avoid unnecessary troubles from the delays.

However, Hayes never would have expected that after he left, the store that acquired the bracelet immediately contacted Sebastian. “Master Sebastian, the bracelet has emerged, and we have placed a tracker on the person who sold it. We should be able to find Miss Scott if we follow him.” “Keep an eye on him! I’ll be right there!” Sebastian ordered over the phone with an incomparably cold tone.

This time, he must have Sabrina dismembered into a million pieces!

After he hung up, Sebastian took his assistant along with some of his best men and followed Hayes to the abandoned warehouse. They had the warehouse surrounded from all corners, and then they entered stealthily.

At this time, Selene was angrily staring at the test result in her hands inside the warehouse. After she finished reading it, she viciously threw Sabrina a slap. “D*mn! You were actually pregnant! Sabrina, you should be d*mned!” Selene retrieved this test result from Sabrina’s bag.

Sabrina was tied to a concrete pillar. Her tears of unparalleled despair flowed down her pale little face.

“Thanks to the Lynn family, I am pregnant.” Selene suddenly burst out a peal of gleeful and reckless laughter. “Sabrina, let me tell you whose child you are pregnant with, okay? Why don’t you have a guess first?”
