Sebastian POV:

"Sebastian, you know Nicholas Kirk?" The young master brought up a topic out of nowhere as he was scanning through the newspapers with a smirk upon his face.

"You mean the one who had many children with different women and who messed around with Elena? Yes, I do know. Why do you ask?" My eyes shifted up to his figure sitting, and he let out a small chuckle.

"Is it too late to get your woman back?" He sneered, and I didn't understand what was going on with the young master. I hoped no demon took his delicious soul because if they did, that certain demon will finally pray to the heavens of crossing their boundaries. SLAM! My eyes moved down to the desk where the newspaper lie. "It's all over the newspaper. Nicholas Kirk proposed to Elena… You were too late to claim her yours." The young master leaned back to his chair and watched me read through the whole newspaper.

I was mumbling words as I read through the whole thing. The article was making my mood foul. My upper lips started to curl up- "Don't growl, Sebastian. I see your every moves right now. You're filled with anger." The young master was having the time of his life as he was to toy with me because I had Elena. "Your eyes are changing colors." He shifted around to fixed his posture.

I neatly folded the newspaper and set it down on his desk like it was there before. I breathed in slowly and exhaled lightly, turning down the knob of the boiling water inside of me. I needed to control myself from doing something that'll hurt Elena again. "I am mad as you can tell, but I didn't think Elena was that brainless to believe in that trickster! That man has about a dozen children from different women. Why would he want Elena back for?!" I flung my hands in the air. "Her child is dead." I closed my eyes in frustration.

"Isn't that why you should save the day and bring her back home? She's being lied to, thinking that her child is alive with that man. But he was the one who murdered her child after months of her departure and every women who ever had his children." The young master leaned forward to his desk. "He kills off the children who aren't worthy to be a 'Kirk'. He has killed many, many children, Sebastian. That is why we were asked to arrest Nicholas Kirk, and you're going to be the hero to save Elena from getting killed." The young master forced a grin on his face.

"..." I stared at him, not even blinking for one bit. "... Are you okay?" I ran over to him, grabbing a hold of his face. I turned his head to the left then right to see if he was injured. "Was I, too late to save your soul, young master?!" I gripped his face, fingers digging into his soft skin.

"Oww!" The young master slapped my hand multiple times, yelling at me. "Sebastian! I am still the same old me! I was only trying to encourage you to get back Elena!" He repeatedly slapped my hands until I pulled back from his words.

"What?" I moved back from the young master. I wasn't sure if I was hearing something right. "You want me to get Elena back?" I was in disbelief. I didn't think the young master had a heart since he was always arrogant, devoid in emotions, and shrewd. "Wow.. How grown you are, young master!" I internally felt pleased and happy. It was like he popped love and emotion inside the both of us.

"Stop touching me!" He swatted my hands away. "Geez… All I wanted was to be nice to you." There was a faint blush on his face as he turned his head away from me, grumbling out words. "Since you were very heartbroken when she left you."

A smile curled at the corners of my lips. "Heh… Is it an order?"

The young master stood up from his seat. "Do I have to say it's an order? Your life and child depends on her doesn't it?"

"Yes, young master" I bowed and took my leave to get back my love. I will not let Nicholas Kirk touch my woman and kill her like he did with his other women. The time is ticking before he gets his hands to her. I will be the last thing Nicholas will see.

Elena POV:

The news of our engagement spread like a wildfire. Everyone knew because it was on the headlines of the newspapers since Nick was a high nobleman but not high like Ciel Phantomhive. My life felt so complicated. I didn't know if I should've rejected the proposal Nick announced because I don't feel ready to let go of Sebastian, Ciel, Meyrin, and the other three guys. "Ugh…. Why is my life so confusing and hard!" I scrunched up my face as I sat outside to be alone.

"Mom! Mom!" I lifted up my head to hear Henry calling me.

"I'm over here!" I shouted back and I heard heavy footsteps running over to me. I smiled as I made eye contact with him. "Hi, Henry." I bend down to his height.

"Mom, you were out here the whole time?"

"Yeah. I just wanted some fresh air because I don't like how the house smells like…" I trailed off when I saw something on Henry's face. It looked like his skin was peeling off on his cheeks. "What is this?" My hand tried to get close to his face but he swiftly moved away.

"Don't touch my face." He grunted, glaring at me with his hands over his cheeks.

Something felt wrong and I know it. A few hours ago, Henry's face was all clean and scarless but now… What happened? I didn't take a good look at his face because he kept on moving but behind that peeled skin was like a purple-grey color and that isn't normal. "Henry! Listen to me!" When I tried to get close to Henry, I was suddenly pulled back by two strong arms wrapped around my waist. "Wah?!" I glanced down at the arms that looked familiar then I looked up to see the familiar face. "S-Sebastian?!" His name slipped out of my mouth.

"I'm coming to take you back." He protectively hugged me. "Henry Kirk is not your child, he was never yours. Your real child is dead." My eyes were wide opened when he said that to my face.

"What…?"
