2024-09-16 04:17:06CELINE’s POV
- THE NEXT DAY, the driver assigned by Lance took me to the place where Freya and I would meet. I didn’t even tell anyone about this, especially Astrid, because she might do something else again. “Please wait for me here or you can go around the mall first.” I told the driver, then I handed him one thousand dollars to spend while waiting for me. “Thank you, ma’am. But I will not accept the money. I will just wait for you here in the basement parking lot.” “Are you sure?” “Yes, ma’am.” I nodded. “Okay, if that’s what you want.” I then said to leave the driver alone. I can’t force him anymore and it might take a long time. Entering the mall as I expected, I could still enter after the chaos that happened yesterday. Freya was the one who decided where we would meet and she chose the same mall and the same restaurant yesterday where I first saw her with Lance. When I entered the restaurant, the same thing happened. I had no problem getting into the restaurant. Upon my arrival at the VIP floor of the restaurant, I noticed Freya sitting in the same spot where she and Lance were seated yesterday. I noticed there were a few people, especially man glancing at Freya, but Freya didn’t seem to care at all about her surroundings. When I came in front of Freya, the corner of her lips slightly. raised as she looked at me from head to toe. “I thought I had the wrong idea yesterday about how you dress.” I’m wearing a color white knot collar chiffon blouse, black color maxi skirts and rubber shoes. “If I lacked the information that the clothes you were wearing were luxury brands, I would have wrongly assumed they were from a cheap store.” I just straightened my lips, then sat down and ignored what Freya said about my clothes. “Also, what do you want? Why do you want to meet me? And you’re not with your friends?” “No. I came here alone.” She flips her blond hair, then crosses her legs. “What do you need?” Freya asked again. “Freya, I’m pregnant. Lance and I will be becoming parents.” She scoffed before speaking. “So? What do you want? Why did you inform me you are pregnant? Do you want me to congratulate you? Do you want to make me the godmother of your child?” “No. None of those. If you have a relationship with Lance, I am begging you to stop it for the sake of Lance and I’s future child.” Freya stared at me for a second and then she laughed loudly, just loud enough that only the two of us could hear her laugh. “Is that the information Lance shared with you about our relationship?”” “Lance and I haven’t talked yet.” “Look, Lance’s cheap wife. I’m running out of patience with you. Say everything you want to say because I still have something important to go to.” “I’m sorry...” She rolled her eyes again while impatiently waiting for what I would say next. “I saw how happy Lance was yesterday when you were with him. I believe he loves you. I want to beg you to stay away from Lance. I desire for Lance and I to establish a strong and fulfilling marriage, because of my love for him and also for the sake of our child. “Well, what can you do to save your marriage with Lance?” she asked with a grin. “What do you mean?” “You’re stupid, aren’t you? I will tell you more clearly. Can you kneel in front of me now to save your marriage with Lance and kiss my feet just to save your marriage with Lance?” Kneel to her and kiss her feet. Here, in the place where so many people? “What, can you or not?” Freya asked impatiently. If I don’t do what she wants, I could lose everything. Lance and Lance and I’s marriage that I cherish. I stood up from my seat and went in front of Freya. I close my eyes first and take a deep breath. I had a sensation of being suffocated, but I am willing to do whatever it takes for Lance and I’s marriage. After opening my eyes, I slowly knelt down, and as I knelt down, I felt the edge of tears in my eyes. I also sensed the presence of many pairs of eyes observing us, which I disregarded. I looked at Freya’s feet until I noticed my face approaching it and my mouth touching the bridge of her feet. “What the hell? What are you doing!?” I looked up at Freya full of wonder. “You’re embarrassing me. My gosh!” “But you said...” “What did I say?” Freya asked, laughing. “I just ask you what you can do.” Freya said, shaking her head then standing up. “Don’t worry, I’ll tell Lance what stupid thing you can do just to save your worthless marriage.” She said then left in front of me. “I still need to disinfect my foot.” I felt humiliated and ashamed of myself. I feel like I lost my dignity and pride in front of many people. I quickly stood up, took my bag and left the restaurant.

CELINE’s POV-Subsequent to what occurred earlier, I headed straight home to the mansion and confined myself to my room for the night. I haven’t eaten or even drank water or anything all day.I don’t want to see anyone right now. It seems as though everyone is laughing at me. I feel everyone thinks I’m stupid and doesn’t know how to think.A few moments later, I heard a knock from outside my room and the maid said Lance was in the dining room and he wanted to talk to me.“Okay, I’ll be right back.” I tried not to crack my voice.I got up from the bed and headed towards the vanity table. I wiped my face with face tissue and put concealer to cover the swelling of my eyes. I also put lip gloss and a color pink blush on my cheeks.When I arrived at the dining area, I saw Lance was eating alone and there was no one else there except for the two of us.“Lance.”Lance looked at me. “Have you eaten yet?” he asked me coldly.I shook my head. “No.” I answered and hoped that he would invite me

CELINE’s POV-After I left the abortion room, the blood still did not stop flowing down my leg.I cannot sense my entire body as deeply as my other sensations. I was uncertain about the sensations that would arise because of the immense pain.“Celine...”When I directed my gaze towards Lance, an unusual sensation overcame me—anger. This is the first time I sensed this from him.It’s amusing to contemplate the reality that he still waits for me because he wants to ensure our baby is now gone. Lance’s gaze dropped to my blood-soaked thighs.“I hope I made you happy with this.” I said in tears.“Mr. Hart, I suggest you prioritize resting your wife,” said the doctor behind me, who had emerged from the abortion room.“She will experience a significant amount of pain and cramping,” the doctor continued. “Mrs. Hart will have a heavy bleeding. Most often, it will take three to five hours. She may also feel vomiting, fever, diarrhea and headache.” The doctor repeated what she told us earlier

(SIX YEARS LATER…) .. .. CELINE’s POV - “Wait, wait,” I called calmly when I saw that the beef ragu was about to be given to the server. I first took the grated parmesan cheese and added it to the beef ragu. “It escaped my attention.” I smiled at him. “It’s okay, there are quite a few customers, so it’s inevitable to make a mistake. Go ahead, give that to the server.” “Yes, ma’am. Thank you.” “You’re welcome.” I’m still not used to having someone thank me to show their gratitude to me. It’s still a peculiar emotion to be recognized and observe the small contribution I can offer. I still have the sensation that it’s unreal that someone values what I do. Six years have passed since I left New York and moved here to Chicago. I continued my college course which is the bachelor of science in business administration. It was difficult for me to start a new life. All my life, my parents locked me in the mansion, so except for the mansion and school, I didn’t go anyw

CELINE’s POV - “Tristan, you understand that I’m not in a position to handle things like this. After what happened to me before, I still can’t get into a relationship, especially to get married.” I explained to him. I am aware of Tristan’s true feelings for me. He admitted he had special feelings for me, I’m just not sure when he felt that. All he told me was that he had feelings for me for a long time before I even met him or even before my parents introduced him to me. Tristan is a special friend to me. Perhaps this is everything I can provide for him at the moment. “I know,” Tristan replied with a smile. “I know that this sort of thing may not currently be your top concern, and I am prepared to wait until you are ready. That’s why I don’t want to introduce you to my family first, even in the way you want, because I’m sure they’ll rush to marry you when I introduce you as my fiancée. Are you aware of my most significant motive?” “What?” I asked full of curiosity. “I don

CELINE’s POV - Uttering his name, I broke out in a cold sweat. The memory I had with him, especially our last conversation, still makes me break out in a cold sweat. For goodness’ sake, I hope I am simply viewing it incorrectly. I hope I’m only hallucinating and not seeing Lance’s face. I never want to see him for as long as I live. He smiled at me, a sweet smile. Like the smile that emerged when I signed the divorce papers. “The food is delicious. Now I know why my wife’s cooking tastes so good because this recipe came from her.” What is Lance saying? That I copied his wife–Freya’s recipe? Lance calmly dropped his cutlery, followed by looking at me. Lance looks at me and it causes my hands to get sweaty from nervousness. What did Lance do here? Why is he here? What does he need from me? Did he end up here by chance? Many more questions entered my mind, but all of them vanished with one word he called to me. “Wife.” It seems that this time he is the one who is hallucinating.

CELINE’s POV - “Wife–” “Stop calling me that.” I strongly cut off what he said. “Have you forgotten how happy I made you when I signed the divorce papers?” Something pierced my heart after I mentioned that and remembered that day. “And that day was the most stupid thing I’ve done.” I almost laughed at what Lance said. I had no idea that Lance had such a knack for making people laugh. A radiant smile adorned his face on the day I vanished from his life, making it all the more perplexing for him to claim it as the dumbest decision he had ever made. “Celine...” Lance quickly grabbed my hand. At this velocity, I was unable to promptly create space between myself and him. I planned to release Lance’s grip on my hands, but he tightened his grip on me. The level of tightness was such that my hands wouldn’t hurt, but it prevented me from being able to withdraw my hands. “No words can explain the way I’m missing you.” Lance suddenly pulled my hand and my body came close to him and

LANCE’s POV - It’s astonishing that after a search that lasted for over four years, Celine is finally here in front of me. I never believed she was only here in Chicago, even though I traveled to every corner of the world to find her. She became even more beautiful. Her black hair was long enough to reach her waist. She looks more confident with a high forehead. It appears that a few aspects have altered concerning her, but one certainty remains my eternal love for her. When Celine was in front of me, there was a pain in my heart the way she looked at me with no emotion, yet full of anger. I would not be surprised if, even after six years, she is still filled with anger towards me for the numerous wrongdoings I did to her. The most important thing to me is I found my wife Celine, specifically during an interim period. Concurrently I hugged her. While hugging her, I almost cried and didn’t want to let her go. I missed Celine so much that I wanted to bring her back to New York and

LANCE’s POV - Without a doubt, the action of marrying Freya is something I deeply regretted doing–no, let me rephrase that decision. Marrying Freya is the worst nightmare I’ve ever had. Freya was the woman I first loved. In the second year of middle school, Freya and I became friends. Soon I liked her more than just a friend, but she told me she already has another guy she likes. With each passing day, my feelings for Freya deepened, which led me to choose her over friendship. What Freya indicated as the man she loved turned out to be none other than Yuichi, one of my closest friend. Despite being aware of Freya’s ulterior motives, I turned a blind eye, driven solely by the desire to see her happy until their relationship blossomed. I fulfilled the role of being Freya’s support and someone she could confide in. Freya asked me for help to make a way for her and Yuichi to reconcile and I did it, but Yuichi had decided at the time that he would never get back together with Freya. My

LANCE HART POV-I put down the folder containing the documents I had to approve, but after a few minutes of reading it I couldn’t focus. Over three hours had passed since Celine left. Five minutes had passed when she called me to tell me to remove the body guards I had sent. After that, she said she would call me again in an hour. I can’t rest until my own eyes see Celine is doing well, also I miss her so much.I stood up to get a black coffee. Just as I faced the table again, I recoiled after I saw Skye sitting on the sofa. Upon approaching him, my eyes bulged when I saw he was holding Starr’s picture. As I often did, I looked at their pictures; among the many on the table, Skye focused on Starr’s lone picture.Celine will scold me if she finds out Skye saw Starr’s picture. We were planning to tell our children about Starr before we got married, but we planned to tell them together.I sat down next to Skye and put my coffee cup on the table. “Skye, why did you wake up?” I attempted

CELINE SALVATORE POV-I wore a sleeveless sexy backless white dress high waist slim a-line short dress, paired with three inch black ankle strap heels. For the make up I did I kept it simple, for my short hair is loose.After checking myself I came out of the walking closet. I straiht to the mini living room where Lance was watching a children’s cartoon with our children.“What do you all think?” I asked them.Lance turned off the tv first then he looked at me, followed by our children.“Mummy, you’re beautiful!” Sunny, lauded.“You look amazing, mummy.” Skye, acclaimed. “You look gorgeous as always.” Lance, extolled.“Are you all sure? Look again.” I turned around once to show them the entirety of what I was wearing.“What the f*ck, why is the back of your dress like that?!” Lance exclaimed as he stood up.I glared at him for swearing in front of our children.“Mummy, what is, what the fa... fa…” Sunny asked curiously but had difficulty saying the word she wanted to know.“That’s a

SABRINA RODRIGUEZ POV-I smiled after Celine sent a picture to our group chat. Joy welled up inside me at the thought of their happiness. I keep telling myself that she deserves her happy family. Despite all the problems and hardship they have gone through she and Sir Lance still love each other very much.I put down my phone and I drank the twentieth shot of whiskey.“Please have one more shot of whiskey.”I think the spirit of alcohol had kicked into my body. My head was aching from the loud music and the surrounding people, plus the various smells mixed with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. Why did I even think of going to this bar?Since I’m finishing the project I’m doing for a client who will build a mansion for their growing family, I take a whole day off. I shopped almost everything I wanted I remained unsatisfied, so I went to the nearest bar I saw. “Thank you.” I told the bartender as he handed me a shot of whiskey.I drank the whiskey straight again and paid. I should

CELINE SALVATORE POV-I put back my gaze at the secretary. “Thank you.”I stood up and left in front of the secretary.I took a breath and it seemed heavy to know about that thing. It was clearly a work discussion, but the thought lingered–I quickly dismissed it from my mind.I shouldn’t waste time thinking about other things. Lance loves me, he loves our children, we love him–it is the important thing and above all I trust him.I was about to get in the car but I saw the man get out of the car and come towards me.“Can we talk?” Lucian asked as he approached me.I sight at the time on the watch I was wearing. “Sure.”——————————Lucian take me in a private restaurant, where he rented the entire restaurant for the entire time.I invited him to a coffee shop, but he refused.

CELINE SALVATORE POV-“What do you want for dinner?” I asked Lance after I cleared away the container. “I’ll cook dinner.”“About that.” He held my hand, his other hand caressing my knuckles. “I’m not sure what time I’ll be home. I still have a lot of work to finish, so I can finish everything by tomorrow.”He sounded sorry, as if the sin he had committed was too big.“It’s okay, don’t worry.” I said with a smile to ease his burden. “Just, please, take care of your health.” I said, almost begging. “On our wedding day, I don’t want our friends to drag you down the altar so our wedding can go ahead.” I joked.“I won't.” He said, laughing, then hugged me tightly, just enough so that my body wouldn’t be trapped in his arms. “Thank you for giving me strength. I don’t even need to drink energy drinks anymore.”I hugged him back.For a moment, the surroundings became silent as we still hugged each other.“Celine.”“Hmm?”“Can we have one round?”I pulled away from the hug.

FREYA POV-After I finished fixing myself, I put the final touch on my makeup, my red lipstick as red as blood. I checked my phone first. I tightened my grip on it seeing that until now, after two days, Lance announced his engagement to the whole world. They all kept talking about all this. Our wedding back then, it maybe, was grand because I pressured him into every detail but to announce to the whole world he didn’t do it. He hasn’t said who he’s going to marry yet but I’m sure it’s his pathetic ex-wife he’s going to marry.I called that stupid thing, but he still didn’t answer my call. In my annoyance, I threw my phone somewhere in my hotel room. That stupid. I cooperated with him back then because he promised he could find a way to keep Celine and Lance away. I even sacrificed my smooth face and skin. The beating me back then in the old building was our plan. No one kidnapped me. It was all a plan to make Lance believe someone else hurt me. After beating me and got hurt, I shoul

CELINE SALVATORE POV-“As soon as possible?” I asked, with a hint of doubt.“Why don’t you seem sure?” There was concern in his voice. “Didn’t you change your mind?” There was fear in his voice.“Of course not. I just don’t know if your schedule can handle it if we get married so soon.” I spelled out.The worry on his face quickly disappeared after I explained it to him.“When would you like us to get married?”“Before our kids go back to school, so they won’t be confused about which surname to use and can use your surname.”“When is the new school year for our kids?”“Two months from now.”“Two months?!” I was the one who was worried by his question. “W-Why?”“I thought I would have to wait just less than a month to marry you.” I lost my concern. I thought he was the one who changed his mind now. I wish to give back my surname to you. If possible, we will get married next week.”“That’s a short amount of time for preparation.” I explain with a beaming face. “On a serious note, when

CELINE SALVATORE POV-It’s not like it used to be that my children wake me up every morning, now I wake them up.Skye and Sunny were still rubbing their eyes when I woke them up.“Good morning, sweethearts.” I greeted them and gave them a sweet kiss on the top of their heads.“Good morning, mummy.” They greeted me sleepily.My smile widened seeing their father was still sleeping soundly. I saw that his forehead was unfurrowed, he didn’t smile widely, but his face was peaceful. He looked like a puppy sleeping. He was so cute when he slept like that.For all the years, I think this was the only time I’d seen him sleep. In all these years, I finally saw Lance sleeping without anger on his face.“Daddy!” Skye and Sunny happily approached Lance at the same time.Sunny climbed onto Lance’s tummy while Skye was on the side of Lance’s face.“Daddy, wake up!” Sunny woke up. I came closer to them, theb supported Sunny’s body when it moved.“Daddy!” Skye and Sunny woke up at the same time to th
