2024-09-16 04:18:53CELINE’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 to eat with him. “Sit. Eat with me.” Despite my surprise, I felt overwhelming joy when Lance invited me to eat, prompting me to swiftly occupy the seat opposite the plate set out for me. Spaghetti pasta, wagyu beef, mashed potato with gravy are the dishes served at the table. I silently eat the wagyu beef. The intense emotion I was encountering dissipated like a bubble as I’m enjoying a meal with Lance. This only happens once and I don’t know when it will happen again so I hope Lance and I eat together for a long time. Did he and Freya meet and she told what happened at the restaurant? Or Freya has moved away and told Lance that we should fix our marriage? “I have found a clinic and tomorrow we will go there.” I stopped cutting the wagyu beef and shifted my gaze to Lance. “What, clinic?” The smile on my lips slowly disappeared and fear replaced the joy me felt. “We will abort that child tomorrow.” I felt a sudden chill throughout my entire body system in response to Lance’s words without hesitation. “Lance–” “Don’t argue anymore,” then Lance shifted his stony gaze to me. “If you don’t agree, I will kill that child right now.” I involuntarily let go of the cutlery I was holding. I sensed a complete loss of sensation in my entire body, as if all the blood was being drained from it. I place my one palm on my stomach while my eyes look directly at Lance. “Is this what you want, to lose this child?” “Yes.” Lance answered readily as he also looked straight at me. I shut my eyes for a second and took a deep breath. “Okay.” Then I opened my eyes. “We will abort this baby, if that’s what you want.” “It’s good that you obey.” “Because it hurts more if you are the one to kill this child.” “I’ve lost my appetite.” Lance wiped his mouth with a table napkin, stood up and left. When I was alone, a deafening silence surrounded me. “I’m sorry, baby...” ~~~ The next day, as Lance and I agreed, he accompanied me to the clinic. Now we are both going there. Ever since we left the mansion, I haven’t stopped stroking my tummy. This last time, I was hoping and waiting for Lance to say that he had changed his mind, but when we arrived at the clinic until we met the doctor, Lance is still silent. After the doctor explained the process, and we signed the consent; we went to the abortion room. “Let’s go Mrs. Hart.” I silently followed the doctor. I didn’t look at Lance until I was inside the abortion room, hoping Lance would stop 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’s POV - Upon my arrival outside the Yamamoto mansion–at Yuichi and Christine’s residence, I noticed Freya standing outside the gate, shouting and searching for Yuichi while two guards monitored her in case she engaged in any foolish behavior. I got out of the car and ran to Freya. Once I neared her, I smell a strong alcoholic drink. “Yuichi! Come out here, talk to me! I know you still have feelings for me! I feel it that I'm the one who you truly love me and not that b*tch!” I forcefully took Freya’s arm and made her face me. “Stop it, Freya. How many times do I have to tell you Yuichi doesn’t love you for a long time? He has his own family now, and he is happy with Christine and their two children.” Freya shook her head and cried. “No. It is evident that Yuichi had no alternative except to push himself to be with that b*tch, solely for the sake of their two children. But, I’m sure Yuichi still loves me. I am his only love and not that woman.” After a while, the gate open

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

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

If you have nothing to do in life, don’t bother me.”Marriage proposal?

CELINE SALVATORE POV-“Mummy, I saw Skye and I’s cake.” Sunny said in amazement when she returned to our room after drinking water downstairs. “Our cake is so big, it’s bigger than daddy’s height.”It was our children’s day. We made their birthday an early dinner party because most of the attendees were close friends of Lance and I. My family with Ashley were coming from Italy who had just landed here thirty minutes ago and the Morgan family was coming from San Diego.“My cake is yellow and Skye’s is blue, just like daddy and Skye’s eyes.” Sunny continued with her story. “Is Uncle Lucian coming?”In six years, except Lucian was with us, he was never absent from Skye and Sunny’s birthday. So they got used to Lucian attending their birthday, especially Sunny.“Yes, sweetheart.” Lance answered. “Your Uncle Lucian is coming.”I told him yesterday that our children can look for Lucian on their birthdays, and he said he understands that. What’s important to him is that our children no longe
