"Jerk, arrogant jerk. They were not lying, he is really heartless, . He is a psycho, he can kill anyone given his temper and personality. If I was late for even a second, now he would be in jail and that woman... What was her name? I don't know. She would have been dead by now. I just don't understand how someone can be so greedy?"

Letting out a big sigh of frustration, Celeste settled on the bench before leaning her head to the back. Her stomach growled and her hands ran over her soft belly.

"I am hungry. Because of that man, I couldn't even eat anything. After having an argument with him, I just walked out of there. Damn it! I should have grabbed something on my way..."

Roar!

Suddenly as the clouds unleashed a deafening rumble, she looked at the sky. The clouds covered the sky, even the stars went to sleep and the thunder struck once in a while announcing that the rain was about to come.

"No way, it's going to rain. I don't have an umbrella wi..." Even before she could complete

    "You... What do you think you are doing?"Tossing her shoes on the ground, Celeste took a seat on his next. Her hand wrapped around his arm and her head resting against the wall, she asserted, "All set.""What did you do?""Guess." Looking at him, she smiled modestly. "I'm not in the mood for jokes.""I didn't say that I was joking though."His brows narrowed as he heard her, letting out a big sigh he pulled his hand only to be grabbed hard by her. Somewhat annoyed yet failing to get her off of him, he gave up fighting and remained silent. 'I have never seen such a weird woman before, it was her who planned all this yet when she has gotten what she wanted... She is being clingy to me. I hate people who pretend and that's what she is doing exactly, doesn't she love her life?'Sitting next to him while the rain kept pouring off the sky, Celeste stared at his face from closer. 'When I helped that woman in wrong and pushed him away, he must have felt betrayed and hurt. I know it's only

    "Rho..."Her feet stopped at the place as her gazes fixated on Rhodes who was standing close to the window, unbothered by her presence. The moment he took off his undershirt his muscular torso was unveiled, his body was a sensual feast for the eyes. 'I never saw him without a shirt before, he looks so sculpted. Rhodes must work out everyday, he has such a nice body.'"If you stand there for too long, you will freeze to death by the cold."His sudden voice interrupted her thoughts, pulling her back to reality. Noticing what she was doing, she cleared her throat and strolled towards him, looking away from him. "Uhmm, I... I have brought you some clothes. You can change into one.""Pass me one." He commanded.Celeste nervously passed him a shirt, rubbing the back of her neck she pursed her lips while running her gazes onto the ground aimlessly.'His broad muscles, his abs... Gosh! He looks so delicious.'"Are you trying to dig a hole in me?"Her face reddened and she bit her lips, take

    "What are y..." Celeste nervously gazed at him, her heart beating faster than usual.Lying on top of her, he put his one hand over her head while the other holding her other hand. His body was pressed against her, their noses almost touched.As he leaned a little more closer, their lips a whisper apart she moved her head to the right. Rhodes touched her face this time, forcing her to look at him."Rhodes." Keeping quiet, he brushed his lips against hers and a shiver ran down her spine, her hands clenching into tight fists. Celeste closed her eyes, feeling his soft lips caressing hers. Their mouth moved in sync, the tender kiss deepening into a sweet one.His hand slowly moved towards her waist, as his lips started caressing her neck she whimpered and her eyes shot open. Celeste touched his chest, trying to stop him. "Rhodes... P-please."Hearing her voice, he gently kissed her neck before relaxing his body against hers with his one hand near her head and his other holding hers. Their

    * The Next Morning *Lifting her arms upwards, Celeste tilted her head to the right and the next minute she didn't know what happened but she found herself lying on the ground. Celeste rubbed her waist with an annoying look on her eyes as she settled back on the couch. "I almost forgot where I was sleeping, this couch can barely work for my legs..." Knock! Suddenly as someone knocked at the door, her gazes shifted across the room aimlessly before they fixated on the person lying on the bed. "Oh, no. Someone is here."In a hurry, Celeste quickly picked up the blanket and rushed to the bed. "Rhodes, wake up."Knock! "Rhodes. Wake up, please."Getting no response from him, she let out a sigh of frustration. Celeste skipped a glance at the door and suddenly getting on top of him, she started unbuttoning his shirt. "Damn it! I can't do it any faster, if he could wake up. I wouldn't have to take the initiative.""What the hell are you doing?" Suddenly a strong hand gripped her wrists

    Knock! Her knuckles clacked sharply against the wooden door as she waited for him to open the door but getting no response from inside, she impatiently knocked again. "Rhodes, it's me. Please, open the door."Celeste was busy following the two women but suddenly she met someone on the way. While she was chatting with the person, she lost them. Though as soon as she didn't see them, she came to see Rhodes...Only her words hit her back, Celeste pushed a little and in one shot, the door opened. Surprised, she casted a glance around. "Strange! Where is he?"As the slow footsteps approached him, Rhodes immediately put down his phone on the table and turned towards the sun. 'It's been long since she left, I thought she was not coming back anytime soon. Looks like she finally remembered me.'Feeling she was closer to him, Rhodes rested his hand on the couch and was about to pretend like he didn't expect her here but the moment a hand was put on his shoulder, his face stiffened. "I have b

    "Let go of her!" The other woman ordered, glaring at her angrily. Ignoring her completely, Celeste focused on the woman whose hair she was grabbing on. "Tell me, was it you who took the initiative in harassing him?""Why should I... Ahhh! Hurts, it hurts."Seeing her in pain, the mother of the two took a step forward. "Hey, let her go. You don't have any right to hurt her.""Oh, is it like that?" In utter disbelief, Celeste eyed her. To think a mother could overlook her children's faults. "I will let her go when I feel like it. And you... Just say what you are asked of.""I d... Hey, get her away from me." Trying to push Celeste away, she pulled her hand but Celeste grabbed her hair harder and this time, her fingers dug into her cheeks as she grasped her face firmly. "I am impatient, so you better not waste my time. This is your last chance, who was it?""I told you I am n...""I told you to let her go." Suddenly the other woman grabbed Celeste's hand, looking at her with bitterness

    The rooftop once again shadowed in deep silence, Celeste with a heavy heart stood still at the same spot for nearly half an hour while her gazes remained fixated on the ground. With those two leaving, the other woman also ran away but Celeste didn't move at all. "Don't your legs hurt? Wanna take a rest?" His soft voice came through, surprisingly making her heart ache. Celeste looked at him, like she told him he was still on the couch and he didn't show any reaction at all. Subconsciously, her legs moved towards him while her gazes fixated on him.Feeling her stand near him, Rhodes questioned in a soft tone of voice, "It's past breakfast time, are you not hungry?"'I thought he was a bad person, he is ruthless and unkind. Rhodes Weston, what type of person is he actually? I keep seeing different versions of him and it confuses me over and over again.'"Celeste?"Kneeling down she stared at him, her gazes full of sadness. With her shaky hands, Celeste touched his face with her one ha

    "Look at these decorations, though it's only an engagement ceremony this whole thing is giving a wedding vibe. It looks so luxuriously beautiful.""You are right. I heard Mr. Harris loves his girlfriend very much, the proof is right there. The engagement party is this grand, imagine how marvelous the wedding would be.""Well, what do you expect from the brother of Rhodes Weston? His wedding was so grand that people still talk about it though I heard that only famous people were invited to his wedding.""I heard that he had the engagement ceremony with his now wife secretly but the wedding was like a king's wedding. I feel that Mr. Weston's brother will also have a grand wedding or maybe he will make it grander than his brother. As you know, those two are not on good terms.""They are not on good terms? But I heard that they are on good terms.""Actually, there's a lot of rumours about them." The woman took a quick peek around and continued, "I heard that Mr. Weston used to try to win

    "Sir Atlas." Upon seeing her walk towards him, Atlas looked away in annoyance as he murmured, "There we go.""Where is Rhodes?" Celeste asked curiously, her gazes scanning the surroundings."How can I know where he is?""Huh? But I heard that you know where he is.""Who told you that?" A little annoyed, he inquired."That's not important. Anyway, where is he?" Since getting the same attitude from him for the past few months, it was not shocking for her to see him being annoyed most of the time. Celeste gazed at her wristwatch, anticipating his reply."I don't know." Saying so as he took a step forward, Celeste blocked his way. "Sir Atlas..""You heard me, I don't...""We both know the answer, don't we? So, you should just tell me the truth instead of playing childish here." Atlas gazed into the distance and cleared his throat. "Even if you know, what are you going to do about it? He is there for some important b...""That shouldn't be any of your concern, I will take care of it." Sh

    Knock! "Come in." Tyler murmured some words mindlessly, his eyes glued to the computer screen. The creaking sound of the door opening reached his ears but he remained unbothered by the unexpected presence of the person in his office. "Put those on the table and take out the blue one. Make a copy of it then bring it to me.""Uhmm... " Hearing the female tone of voice, his gazes shifted at her and he looked a little taken aback. "Miss Lopez, why are you here?""I wanted to see you so..." Xyria answered, standing at a close distance from him."Ahh, I see. What's wrong? Why did you want to see me?""Well, I found a lead in my brother's case. I wanted to talk to... You about it but since... I don't have your number, I couldn't reach you that's why..." As she voiced so, her gazes moved across the room aimlessly.Tyler nodded his head in understanding and added, "That's great. What did you find?"That night, Tyler not only saved her brother from getting attacked but he also let that assass

    Sneaking a peek at Rhodes while sitting next to him in the car, she let out a sigh of annoyance. Celeste managed to leave the cafe with him but as they got in the car, he remained silent and waiting for him to say something, she followed his actions as well. "Alright, I can't do this anymore." Celeste took a deep breath as she turned towards him. "Why did you go to the cafe?""To drink coffee."'As the CEO you can just tell anyone to bring it to you, why must you... '"If you wanted to drink coffee, why didn't you tell me? I would have brought it for you.""You are not my servant, why would I tell you about what I want to eat?"Upon hearing him say it with a straight face, she rolled her eyes in utter disbelief. 'Since I met you, if you have done something at an excessive amount then it should be how you kept bossing me around. Yeah, recently you don't do it like the past but it's certainly not because you have gotten gentler... I don't know why I feel like it was not a mere coincide

    Staring right into his eyes without even blinking once, Celeste was about to grab his hand but suddenly someone grabbed her hand and pushed her backwards. "You... Who are you? Why are you meddling in?" Nathan blurted out while trying to pull away his hand, looking at the tall man standing in front of him. Surprised by the sudden presence of him, Celeste gazed at the veiny hand and in a swift, her gaze shifted to his back. "Rhodes, why are you here?""Let go of me! Who the hell are you?" Nathan continued getting away from him only in vain. "Look at these two, are they fighting over a woman? Who are they? Do you know them? Wait, isn't he looking a bit too familiar? I feel like I've seen that woman and man somewhere. Especially that sexy vampire-like facing features...""Oh, right. I think he... Right, he is Rhodes Weston. OMG, take photos. I never could imagine that someone as famous as him, I will get to see him one day. Oh my god, someone should hold me. I might faint..."The woman

    "Tell me, wanna be my mistress? If you agree, I will take pity on you and take you in." Nathan smirked at her, moving toward the back and his full attention cast on only her. Celeste stood there all silent and too disgusted to say anything. Looking at both of them, the woman pulled his hand shyly and muttered, "Babe."As if he was that one actor who is a tr@sh inside yet the male lead for every woman, Nathan's facial expression changed quickly the moment his gaze shifted to the woman standing behind him. "Yes, babe.""Uhmm, what is she saying? Do you perhaps... Know her?""Mr? No, no. Why would I know her?" Giving Celeste a look of mockery, he voiced in full spirit, "I don't know who she is.""Then, was she disturbing you? Why was she...""Yeah, you... Can say that. She was saying that she likes me and if I wanted to go on a date with her but I told her that I love you and I will never leave you for anyone." As Nathan voiced so, the woman gave Celeste an angry look before pulling his

    "His bodyguards are not with him today, he has been alone most of the days.""How about his secretary? Or his lawyer?""They are not with him, it's a bit strange since he never goes out without them. Boss, the target is now heading towards the suburbs. Should we keep following them or take action?""As soon as he enters the tunnel, do it. Make sure to not let any evidence behind.""Yes, boss. Should we kill the woman also? Or do we take her to t..."Upon hearing about a woman involved with him, the man from the other side of the call asked curiously, "What is she doing with him?""She was with him the whole day, they seemed inseparable." The man driving the car replied, following Rhodes at full speed. Not getting any response from his boss, he questioned again, "Boss, what do we do?""Change the plan.""What?""Don't do anything until I order." With that as he hung up, one of the men in the car asked, "What did he say?""We need to step back.""Huh? But we have come this far, why now?

    "La la la, mmm." Ring! Pausing on her track, Celeste gazed at the distance where Rhodes was seen sitting alone on a bench. She checked her phone and as the caller's name reflected on her phone screen, she put it back into her pocket.Day turned into night so fast that it felt like a magic. Unlike she thought, Rhodes didn't leave her hand and he didn't even complain that it was a crowded place. In the amusement park, they spent a day full of fun.Ring!Getting annoyed, as she picked up the call her mother's sobs could be heard from this side of the call. "My dear, Celes. Why didn't you pick up my calls? Have you forgotten your mother? Don't you miss me anymore?" Anya cried out.'There she goes. Let's see what drama she wants to play this time.'Celeste stared at the distance and let out a sigh of annoyance, "I was busy with work."For the second time, Anya saw her giving a cold shoulder. Though she didn't say it directly, it was as if she wanted to let her know that she was tired of

    * At Night *"Yes, Mr. Weston. I am here to collect the report. Yes, once I get it I will take immediate action... Why is she... Is her brother admitted here?" "What happened?" Rhodes asked him, from the other side of the call."Oh, it's nothing. I just... I will call you back, bye." As soon as he came across her, Tyler stopped on the spot. He made a quick look at the surroundings, trying to not getting seen by her and as she continued walking away, he followed after her. "Yes, Miss. Thank you a lot and please, when he comes back... Tell him that I called. Yes, I will be waiting for you then." Hanging up, Xyria gazed at her phone screen with a sad look on her face. "I have called everyone I could, there's nobody left whom I can ask for help from. Xavi, what do I do now?

    "Where... Are we going?" As she asked for his hand, Rhodes hesitantly asked her.The cheerful noises of children running around, adults laughing and screaming reached his ears. Rhodes hated to be in crowded places yet when she asked him this morning that she would like to take him somewhere he followed her without asking where they were going to.Smiling at him, Celeste held his hand. As the bodyguards wanted to follow them, she voiced, "You guys can go do something else, we will manage."Ignoring her command, the bodyguards looped at him as if waiting for him to say something. Celeste bit her lips and pulled the corner of his shirt, "You say something.""Wait for us here.""Yes, Mr. Weston." They said in unison."Let's go, Rhodes. I promise you that you will have a lot of fun." While holding his hand firmly, she smiled at him. "Is it a book fair? Why is it so noisy?" He asked, hiding how uncomfortable he was getting.Taking a look around, Celeste moved some inches away from him but
