Chapter 241: Last night (Part I)

LAST NIGHT 

Sebastian was all alone in the castle's wine cellar when Alexander found him. He was slumped over and moping around with many bottles of wine already emptied and lying all around him. 

To put it nicely, he was not looking good. To put it bluntly, he was a mess. A complete mess. He had been drowning the past few days' sorrows and regrets in alcohol - ever since that night. 

He could still remember it so clearly. So vividly as though he had just experienced it only minutes before. The image of him choking Izabelle. The tears that rolled down uncontrollably from her eyes. Her, coughing for breath as she lay there crumpled on the ground. Every bruise and wound on her skin were still freshly imprinted in his mind. 

It was a new nightmare for him. One that was far worse than the previous others. He would have willingly endured any damages upon himself. But if it was her who suffers… it was impossible.
