''I cannot believe you finally agreed'' Annette smiled as she wrapped her arm around Sebastian. It was the fifth house they viewed and quite frankly Sebastian was bored, he smiled at her as they left their newly brought New York townhouse.

" You know after everything we have been though with...'' she paused cleared her throat looking sharply over at the street performers.

Sebastian turns her face gently towards him "Look Annette she is gone, I picked you, I love you and trust me that's killing her a lot more than anything right now that was years ago now. think of future and our new house'' he gave her a quick kiss and smiled grabbing her hand.

'' Look I have attend my father's engagement party at 7pm, but afterwards how about a celebratory drink now we are living together, maybe we can see if we can get the keys early get an head start at christening the rooms before I go''

'' Sebastian'' she clasped

'' what''

'' Not in public anyone could hear'' she took a step back quickly glanced around her.

Sebastian rolled his eyes he loved Annette but sometimes he wished she was a lot less uptight sometimes.

'' Who is he marrying anyway'' she asked out of curiosity as to why his father broke up with Kathryn mother not that she wasn't happy, with Kathryn not around he a totally different person, she brings out aside of Sebastian she would rather keep locked up.

'' His secretary who has no social standing and is probably out for his money.'' he shrugged as they walked towards his car. Not telling her the real reason for why he was with her and it was nothing to do with her personality.

Annette got in and smiled '' I wish I could come, but I promised the Sarah that I would visit the Friends of the Children charity Auction''

'' That's a shame I would have loved to see you all dressed up'' he replied knowing full well that she was never invited

'' Maybe next time'' she sighed looking out amongst the sea of people

'' Yeah maybe'' he said blandly as he continued to drive.

Evening

Sebastian got there at 7.30pm knowing that most of the important people won't arrive till up to an hour late. Still he wanted to show his face and leave he heading inside the ballroom to his amazement it was pretty full he walked in and was greeted my his father and his new fiancé

'' Sebastian you made it and without the bore from Kansas ''

Rubbing his hand though his hair he replied '' You didn't invite her remember" wishing he could leave already

His father let out a short laugh '' Hopefully you will get bored with her soon, you could do so much better look at me and Stephanie '' he smiled grabbing her waist.

Sebastian felt sick not only was this Stephanie young enough to be his daughter she was his secretary as well. And was staring at Sebastian like she was ready to pounce.

'' I need a drink'' he said to himself as he successfully withdrew from the awkward conversation. Walking towards the bar someone catches his eye a brunette wearing a Dolce and Gabbana red dress laughing with a man. He stood there shocked, as she turned to face him the smile she had painted across her face dropped and quickly recovered as if it never happened. Whispering to the man she laughed once more and walked towards him and then passed him, Sebastian catching a whiff of her perfume followed her to the bar.

'' What the hell are you doing here Kathryn'' he asked coldly

'' Nice to see you too'' she replied dryly

'' you do know this is my father's engagement party, and considering you mother was married to him don't you find that a little bit weird?''

'' No Sebastian this is not weird, you choosing Kansas over me that's weird. Not only that you giving her your journal and her trying to ruin me that was uncanny even from her considering she had no idea who she was dealing with."

'' You tried to kill me remember that little fact''

'' Get over it that was years ago'' she turned and ordered her drink Sebastian watched her strangely caught between lust and hate, she looked more elegant with age he thought.

The bar tender handed her two glasses of champagne which Sebastian new she hated

'' Who is that for another victim'' he smirked

'' The only victim is you Sebastian I was yours.. well for that night anyway '' she lent in close and whispered in his ear '' You could have had the fuck of the century''

she slowly stepped back and held his glaze, Sebastian smiled after a moment and lent casually against the bar. '' You still think that highly of yourself''

Laughing Kathryn picked up her glasses of the bar '' See you on Monday''

'' What''

'' Oh yeah I forgot I was given position at the La Fashion in their legal department''

Sebastian was shocked not only did he realise she was now going to be working with him she will be back in both his and Annette lives and for the first time in years he felt alive.

'' Kathryn'' he called after her, watching as she handed the man his glass she slowly turned around

'' let the games begin''

Rising her glass she smiled
