Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: He Is Sebastian

After two full days, the report was finally complete, and Riverdale High School officially resumed its classes.

Early that morning, Lillian arrived on campus still clad in her gym outfit, a baseball cap shading her face. The school grounds buzzed with small clusters of students scattered across the courtyard, chatting and moving between classes.

Navigating through the groups, Lillian made her way to Class 1, Grade 10, and quietly slipped inside.

The moment she stepped into the classroom, an unexpected hush fell over everyone. All eyes turned toward her—the new girl who had just appeared out of nowhere. Despite the baseball cap hiding much of her face, it was impossible to conceal the breathtaking beauty and almost otherworldly grace she radiated.

Lillian chose a seat by the window in the back row, gazing outside as whispers floated around her.

“She’s absolutely stunning,” one voice murmured.

“She looks so familiar,” another said softly.

“Yeah, she’s just like that girl in the photo from the train station that went viral on Twitter,” someone else added.

“Not just similar—she’s definitely the same person!” a third whispered excitedly.

Throughout the day, Lillian felt like a living masterpiece to her classmates, who followed her with curious, admiring eyes wherever she went. The fascination was palpable, and it made her increasingly uneasy.

Once school ended, she hurried away from the relentless attention. The walk home wasn’t far, so she decided to stroll along the sidewalk, hoping the fresh air might calm her nerves.

Suddenly, a sleek car screeched to a halt beside her. The door swung open abruptly, and before she could even react, a firm hand grabbed her arm and yanked her toward the vehicle.

Shock and adrenaline surged through Lillian. She was ready to fight back, but the stranger’s grip was too quick and strong. Her arm was twisted behind her back, and she felt warm breath brush against her ear, sending an involuntary shiver down her spine.

“Let me go! Can’t you hear me?” she snapped fiercely. “If you’ve got guts, let’s settle this outside. Ambushing someone like this is just cowardly.”

Conrad, who was driving, was so startled by the unexpected laughter that he nearly lost control of the steering wheel. In over twenty years, he had never heard Sebastian laugh like that. Even with the partition up, Conrad could feel the sheer delight radiating from him.

Eventually, the car pulled up in front of an opulent seaside villa. As soon as it stopped, Lillian opened the door and stepped out. She glanced at the grand house before her and then at the endless sea stretching behind, murmuring under her breath, “This is so extravagant.”

Sebastian followed closely behind, and the butler waiting at the entrance looked visibly surprised to see Sebastian arriving with a young woman.

They entered the villa one after the other. Lillian couldn’t suppress a sigh of exhaustion and immediately collapsed onto the sofa, resting her head on her arm, her posture completely relaxed.

“So, sir,” she said, a hint of sarcasm in her voice, “what’s your reason for kidnapping me and bringing me here?”

Before Sebastian could respond, she heard him turn by the floor-to-ceiling window. His inscrutable eyes held a faint smile as he said softly, “Sebastian—that’s my name. Were you looking for me?”

Lillian’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you… Sebastian?”
