The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Natalie had no choice but to sit back down and wait absentmindedly.
As though he could sense the tension in the air, Frank glanced at Sebastian knowingly then left.
This left only Natalie and Sebastian in the corridor.
Sebastian pursed his lips and lowered his head.
After thinking for a long time, he looked up at Natalie to say something, he found that she was staring at him questioningly.
With clenched fists, Natalie demanded, “Sebastian, what happened between you and Ritchie exactly?”
The atmosphere was tense for obvious reasons.
But Sebastian felt unnecessarily annoyed as he stared at Natalie.It was as if Natalie was ready to pester him for answers today.
He could see the decisiveness and stubbornness in her eyes.
As a result, he felt uneasy.He had a hunch that if he continued to keep her in the dark, the gap between them would get wider.
“What can’t you tell me?”
Natalie was on the verge of breaking down when she noticed that Sebastian was hesitating.
When he didn’t answer her question, she finally cried hysterically, “Sebastian! Why are you doing this to me? I’m sick and tired of
knowing very little about you. Why did this happen? What happened between you and Ritchie? I thought we would just have
dinner! Then all of a sudden he just snapped and started talking about horrible things.Although I know you don’t have a good
relationship with your family, I thought unfriendly words were the only thing I had to suffer in their hands.But it was nothing like
that! How cthis happened?”
‘He wantedto leave Sebastian and be his mistress? How ridiculous and disgusting! He also injured Laney to this extent.I
won’t let this slide!’ Natalie was shocked and furious.
Anger settled like a boulder in Sebastian’s gut.
He almost reached out his hand to hold Natalie, but her glare made him restrain himself.
He just said in a choked voice, “I’m sorry.”

“No, I don’t want to hear that. You keep saying you are sorry but nothing changes!”
Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes.
She held Sebastian’s hand and continued, “Our marriage made us one, Sebastian.We only have each other.How do you think it
makesfeel whenever I realize you are keeping secrets from me? I’m your wife! Why are you shuttingout?”
“No, don’t put it that way.I’m not shutting you out!”
With mixed feelings, Sebastian stroked her hair and added seriously, “I don’t like keeping secrets from you.It’s just that I thought
you will be in danger if you know too much aboutand the Kleins. You mean so much to me, Natalie.You might not believe
me, but I love you more than life itself.”
Natalie threw herself into his arms and sobbed. It was already winter in Seacisco, so there was not much sunlight.
The cool wind caused the bare trees to sway.
From the look of things, the city would get snowy very soon.
This current weather was very similar to the twhen Sebastian’s mother died.
“Since you insist, I will tell you. It all began more than twenty years ago. The Klein family was a noble one in Seacisco, while the
Larson family was down and out.
Patrick Klein happened to meet my mother in a hotel one day.
Like a savage, he raped her there.
He didn’t want his family nto be dragged into the mud, so he slandered my mother and made her the center of ridicule.
He alleged that she seduced him first and that it was consensual sex.
The media hounded her and no one believed her.
My mother was extremely poor by then, so she had no money or connections to legally fight against him.
Patrick gave her smoney for her to shut up forever.
In this way, he went scot-free.I lived with my mother until tragedy struck when I was nine years old.

She suddenly passed away, leavingin this cruel world.
It was also a cold winter at that time.
After my mother’s death, I was forced to go to the Klein family’s villa and Patrick agreed to takein.He couldn’t turn his back toNo matter how cruel rich people were, they valued their offspring.
But Elissa, his wife, strongly opposed my coming into that household.
She made a scene and ordered that I be thrown out.
Patrick had to sendback to the house I used to live with my mother which was located in the suburb.
That day marked the beginning of hell on earth for me.It wasn’t bad enough that Elissa sentback.
She and her two sons still hated me.
They spoke will of my mother and bulliedat any given opportunity.My beast of a father never did anything much to stop the
oppression.Later on, I attended the shigh school as Ritchie.He was a senior and he picked onevery single day.It wasn’t
until after graduation that Elissa and my half-brothers finally stopped bullying me, because they had found out that my life was so
miserable.”
A huge ball of sadness erupted in Natalie’s heart by the tSebastian was done with his story.
Tears streamed down her face and she hugged him tightly.
Sebastian had a miserable past.
In her mind’s eye, she pictured how a little boy of that age had to suffer such a cruel fate from his so-called family.
After crying for stime, Natalie wiped her tears and said, “They are horrible people.I’m sorry that you had to go through all
that as a child!”
Sebastian patted her back as he fought back tears.
He then wiped off the remaining tears on her face.

A second later, his eyes darkened and his eyebrows knitted.
“Ritchie is an arrogant devil.For him, it’s a slap in the face that my friends defeated his men today.I’m sure that he won’t let us go
easily. However, you don’t have to worry.I’m no longer that young and naive pushover.I’ll stand up to him.”
The doctor who pronounced Sebastian’s mother dead had said she had died a natural death.
But the events surrounding her death made Sebastian suspect that someone had a hand in it.
The first person he suspected was Elissa.
For fear of getting harmed, he decided to go to Patrick-the man who raped his mother.
Elissa couldn’t harm Sebastian, at least not openly, after he was recognized by the Klein family.She badly wanted to get rid of
him, but she couldn’t do so without arousing suspicion.
Even though he had to bear the nof being the bastard son of his father, he had a substantial amount of protection.
Sebastian always wanted to get to the root of his mother’s sudden death.
This was why he put up with a lot in the Klein household.
To avoid alerting his enemy, he hid his identity as Brandon Larson and kept a low profile.
He had been secretly investigating the case for many years.
As a child, he was forced to suffer Ritchie’s constant bullying in silence.
But he couldn’t tolerate him anymore now that he had tried to harm Natalie.
He could put up with anything, but not an attack on his wife.
“How do you intend to deal with him? I wish we could do something, but he’s the second son of the Klein family. We are
nobodies.He will crush us before we can act against him,”
Natalie said worriedly as she leaned against his chest.
Sebastian stroked her hair and promised assuredly, “It doesn’t matter who he is.We will find a way.”

“I think it’s best we don’t confront him at all.On my part, I will stay away from any member of your family.I will run away if I ever
bump into any of them.Ritchie was so horrendous when he got mad.He looked like a devil.”
