Chapter-16
Revealed
"I am sorry for yesterday night." Sebastian murmurs, his voice soft and apologetic. She has just settled down inside his car.
"It's okay." She replies. She would never forget the madness that had overcome him yesterday. The dread that had settled in the pit of her stomach makes itself known when he whispers, "You are impossible. I never know when you are manipulating me and when you aren't. I have no excuse for my behavior yesterday. I don't think that it was fair on you."
Kathryn swallows bile. She deserves much more for accepting that stupid bet.
"It's okay, really. I am fine." She whispers and she is not lying. She is not upset with him. She is upset with herself. Last night changed a lot of things. She knows that she is on the right path. This is the way to win his heart. It's almost too easy. What's difficult is to live with herself while doing this.
"Sebastian." His names rolls off her tongue as an urgent whisper and he stops the car before looking at her, his voice alarmed and his eyebrows raised, "Yes. Anything wrong?"
She doesn't know what she wanted to say so she simply shakes her head, sweat gathering on her forehead. He cares for her. He really cares for her. It's more then their verbal sparring or seductive looks and she is completely fucked.
"Are you sure?" He frowns and she nods before murmuring, "I - I don't feel good. I am skipping today."
He looks at her and holds her wrist. She looks at him startled and he simply asks her, "Are you having fever?"
"Seems like it. You go on. I will be fine." She replies and opens her door.
"I can stay if you want." He offers worriedly and she shakes her head and smiles tightly, "No. I'll be fine."
"Okay." He mutters and turns his eyes to look ahead. She gets out of the car and walks back towards her house. When she is sure that he has left, she takes her phone out and calls Court.
"Hello, is that Court?" She asks and he murmurs, "Missing me already."
"I have called to tell you that all the bets are off." She murmurs flatly and he starts laughing, "Christ! Don't tell me you are already chickening out. I would really enjoy bragging about this. How Kathryn Merteuil chickened out because she is too terrified of big bad Sebastian Valmont."
"Shut up, you little-"
"Imagine what will happen to the little bit of reputation you still have left. I would enjoy destroying it."
"Shut up, you bastard. I am not terrified of anyone and I will win. You will see. I will win and I will be the one ruining you."
"Good luck. You will need it." He sneers at her and she hangs off before walking inside. She needs to drink something very strong to get rid of her headache.

The day was boring and uneventful. He is about to start his car when someone knocks on the opposite window. He opens it and greets Blaine, "Hey Blaine."
"Hey. Could I have a word with you. It's rather urgent." The boy mutters, his face grim and Sebastian frowns before nodding, "Yes. Get inside. I will drop you. We can talk on the way."
Blaine gets inside and Sebastian starts the car.
"I was on the way towards loo when I heard Reynolds talking on phone."
"Court Reynolds." Sebastian asks, startled.
"Yes. He was talking to Ben and Johnson of B & J. You know that casino." Blaine asks, his hands tapping his thighs and Sebastian replies, "Yes."
"I think that Kathryn is into deep shit this time. He has been conspiring- I am assuming that you know about the bet." Blaine looks at him and Sebastian smiles, "Of course I do. She doesn't know it though and I intend to keep it that way."
Blaine nods and continues with a faint smile on his face, "I heard him talking about some agreement. I gathered that he owes a lot of money to them and is giving them a night with Kathryn in consideration. Apparently, he is assuming that she will lose and he will send them instead of going himself. Apparently, they despise her and want to pay her back."
Sebastian is stunned, completely and utterly stunned. His car screeches to a halt and he stares at the empty street ahead.
"He has manipulated her to pay off his debts."
"Tuttle, don't tell this to her. I will handle it in my own way. Father and Tiffany own B & J anyways. I will talk to them today." Sebastian murmurs sternly and Tuttle looks at him, "You must tell her."
"I would like to decide that myself. You will not utter even a single word." Sebastian mutters and Blaine replies, "All right. I will be on my way then."
Sebastian nods and Tuttle gets out of the car. Sebastian sighs and takes a u-turn towards his father's place.

Half and hour later, he finds himself sitting on his father's couch waiting for Tiffany.
"Sebastian." Father says and Sebastian ignores it, simply staring at the ceiling, wondering what would have happened if Tuttle had not heard Court talking on phone.
"I am sorry for what happened and I wish you would forgive me. I can't forgive myself. I don't know how to get over this guilt. I know that you are busy but you can at least take out some time for your own father." Father whispers and the last few words catch compel him to look at the man.
"My remaining busy or free is completely besides the point and you know that." Sebastian glares coldly at father and he sighs tiredly, "At least something caught your attention. Look, what will you have me do. I will apologize to Kathryn and Tiffany-"
"Damn right you should." That was Tiffany, as cold and ruthless as Kathryn.
"Look. I didn't marry you to fuck your daughter. Will you just believe that I love you. I am sorry, god damnit. That's what you wanted , isn't it. I am sorry. I committed a mistake. I was drunk and looked at her in a wrong way and I am terribly sorry and disgusted of myself. Have been ever since that night when Sebastian prevented the unforgivable from happening. I can say this as many times as you want Tiffany. I am sorry. Just forgive me. Please forgive me. It has been years now and I miss you and I miss my son as well."
Father looks a wreck now and he can see that Tiffany is already forgiving father. He gets up and mutters in a professional tone, "Please carry on this conversation after we have taken care of a small matter. Please have a seat Tiffany."
Their eyes whirl towards him and he sighs, annoyed.
"Kathryn struck this bet with Court Reynolds..."
Ten minutes later, they are staring quietly at him.
"And you are still helping her out of this." Tiffany asks. He shrugs.
"You don't want her to know about this." Father asks him and he shrugs again.
"May I ask why?" It is Tiffany who puts this question after a few minutes of silence.
"I have my reasons." He says simply and Tiffany sighs before glaring at father, "Call them over here. How dare they conspire against my daughter."

He is satisfied with the outcome. Currently, he is sitting on the couch, looking at the gob-smacked and terrified face of Ben, Jhonson and Court.
"You really thought that you could get away with it." Sebastian whispers in a very dangerous voice, "That you could fuck with the owner's daughter and get away with it. That you could get away with conspiring against my best friend and-"
"Your slut, more like." Court mutters snidely and before he can as much as breathe, a fist slams in his stomach.
He looks up to find Sebastian towering over him, "You will keep your mouth shut about her."
"Sure I will." Court mutters and the other two shake their heads in despair, sweat trickling down their cheeks.
"We are closing down B & J." Tiffany says, admiring her nails and father agrees, "Yes. You don't deserve it. We will have you thrown on the streets by tomorrow."
"No, please. We are sorry. We will do anything. Please." Their mutter in unison and Court glares at Sebastian. Sebastian pulls his hair back and brings their faces close.
"You don't know who you are messing with. Believe me. You don't want to mess with me. I will display all your dirty little secrets for everyone to see." He whispers, his voice soft and dangerous.
Finally Court's eyes flash with fear and Sebastian smiles, "Yes. I know about Blaine's and yours weekly escapades."
"All right. Please don't tell- I will do anything. Please just. It would destroy me." He pleads Sebastian and Blaine's sad face flashes in his mind. The boy had been devastated when he had realized that he was just Court's dirty little secret. Tuttle had abandoned Greg for this bastard. Sebastian glares at him, his eyes gleaming and lies, "You won't tell Kathryn about this little meeting. You will continue as if you are still counting on sleeping with her."
Tiffany and Edward have left with Ben and Jhonson by now. They will punish the duo in their own way. Court looks at him and nods. After a few seconds, he whispers, "She won't, you know, come to her senses. She wants to win. She won't keep her reputation on stake, not even for you."
"You will keep your mouth shut about her. I don't want to hear a single thing about her from your filthy mouth. If I do, then you are completely fucked. I will ruin you. I will blame you for the bet as well."
"All right. I won't- won't say anything. Just stop."
"Good boy." Sebastian murmurs and shoves his head away before getting up and snapping coldly, "Get lost now."
Court simply gets up and scurries off.
Sebastian lights his cigarette and walks out of the house after taking a drag.
