Chapter 483: Threats

With a curse, Seb walked towards the door. Why were they interrupted everytime? Dam* it! Wanting to spend quality time with his wife was too much to ask. His irritation, however was subdued when he opened the door and found two people in police uniform standing at his doorstep.

The man stepped forward and flashed his badge. "Good afternoon, Mr. Frost," he said, his voice carrying an air of authority. "I’m Detective James Reynolds and this is my partner Detective Rachel Davis. We’re here to talk to you about the death threats that were reported by Miss Emma and Miss Vivienne Dempsey and a few of your other ex’s," Detective Reynolds said, his tone serious.

Seb grimaced and stepped aside, ’Of course. Please come in."

As the two people walked into the cozy house, they exchanged a glance. It was quite cozy, completely different from a playboy’s home.

Seb gestured to the couch," Please have a seat. Would you like anything to drink?"

"No, thank you, Mr. Frost. We would only like your cooperation in the investigsation. It seems the death threats are mainly connected to you. Do you have anyone suspects in mind? Some ex or current girlfriend that may not have been interested in breaking up with you?"

Seb’s eyes narrowed at Detective Davis’ tone but he kept his opinion to himself and answered neutrally," Not that I know of. I’ve already got some investigators looking into it."

"It seems while the others only got threats, Miss Emma and Miss Vivienne were targetted for their closeness to you. Would you care to explain your relationship with these two women?"

"Emma is my business partner while Vivienne is an old acquaintance." Seb answerd shortly.

The two detectives exchanged a glance before Detective Davis spoke again, her tone direct. "Mr. Frost, we do not want glossed-over details. This is a serious threat, and we need your full cooperation. Please provide us with a detailed account of your relationships with these women, as any information could be crucial to our investigation."

Seb’s eyes narrowed at this and he answered through clenched teeth," These are not glossed over details. They are facts."

Detective Davis scoffed and questioned directly," Just tell us whom did you sleep with of the two women first? And your previous allianced as well. I’m sure it would be a difficult to remember for you, but please do try."

Seb’s jaw tensed, a flicker of irritation crossing his features at Detective Davis’s insinuations. "I don’t appreciate being harassed and interrogated in my own home, Detective. I am under no obligation to cooperate with you and the only reason you are sitting here is because I have been fulfilling my moral obligation. But...," he retorted, his voice firm.

Detective Reynolds raised a hand, attempting to diffuse the escalating tension. "Let’s keep this professional, Detective Davis," he interjected, shooting her a warning glance before he took over the conversation.

"Mr Frost. We’re just trying to create a time line for the events, we do not mean anything else. We apologize for any misunderstandings."

Seb nodded, accepting the apology but answered warily," Then, let me be very clear. In the last one year, I have had only one relationship. My days of havig only sexual relations are long gone. I’m not some randy teenager. As for the rumors about my lifestyle, then they are a part of my job too! It is part of my glamorous image. Most women I appear with are struggling models in search of fame and publicity. Miss Emma was also one of them."

"However, she later proposed a business idea and we moved to that. Never had any other ’relationship’ with her. Vivienne on the other hand was my junior in High school and has recently returned to the country. I do not have women around me all the time like the media implies."

Before they could ask anything else, Olivia entered the room, calling," Sebby! Are you escaping from doing the chores..." She stopped short at the sight of the uniformed officers and gave him a look.

"And this is?" Detective Davis asked acerbically, her tone smug as if she had just proven the man wrong.

Olivia smiled and walked forward," Hello Detectives. I am Olivia Brown Frost. Seb’s wife."

The Detectives exchanged a glance at that, speechless for a moment. Seb Frost had a wife at home?

Detective Reynolds recovered first, extending his hand to Olivia with a polite smile. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Frost. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Detective Reynolds, and this is my partner, Detective Davis."

Olivia shook his hand warmly, returning the smile. "Likewise, Detective Reynolds. Detective Davis," she greeted, her tone gracious. "You are here for..."

The detectives were a little hesitant to continue but Seb wasn’t," They are investigating the threats that Emma and Vivienne received."

Olivia nodded at that," Oh yes. That is really dangerous. Seb has been looking into that as well."

"You know about the women?" Detective Davis’ asked, her tone still insinuating something...

Olivia raised an eyebrow at that before sitting down carefully," Yes, Detective. I do know. Though I haven’t met Emma personally, I know she is his business partner. As for Vivienne, she is my estranged half-sister."

Olivia’s revelation seemed to add a new layer of complexity to the investigation as the two exchanged another glance. Finally, Detective Davis asked directly, "Mrs. Frost, forgive me for being blunt, but your relationship with Mr. Frost’s partner and your half-sister does raise some more questions. At the moment we are looking for a person who would have problems with Mr Frost’s relationships. And you are his wife. If he has been cheating on you then... you would have motive too. So, would you mind answering a few questions?"

Seb felt as if he was about to burst with frustration. The detective was now grating on his nerves. Just as he was about to let go and throw the officers out for talking nonsense, Olivia spoke up," Detective Davis. You are free to question me. Go ahead"
