HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE CHAPTER 0043
CELINE POV-I quietly hum.Lance already knows about our children? When did he find out? Is that his reason he is going to a Stellar restaurant? Is that his sign to why he is returning to warn me?My heart and head seemed to overflow with an abundance of questions that I desired to comprehend the answer to, yet I lacked the means to initiate it and asked. “I thought Lance and I are friends with no secret to hide, yet he didn’t tell me about this,” Hanna says innocent and clueless.Does that mean Lance already knows?My fears for Skye and Sunny are adding. Does that meanwhile I’m here, Lance is in Florida?“Where’s Lance?” I breathlessly asked Hanna.I try to be steadfast and my tears do not shed. I don’t think Lance already knows about Skye and Sunny. He should not know about my kids.“As far as I know, Lance is in Chicago this morning so he doesn’t–oh my gosh! Are you okay, Celine? What’s going on with you? Why are you so pale? Do you have a fear of heights or something?”My heart

CELINE POV-“It will mean nothing for you what Lance’s reaction will be about the children, because he’s not their father, right?”“Hanna...”I know Hanna is trying to see how far I will go in denying Skye and Sunny’s real father. Hanna wants the truth to come out of my mouth, and my words may be the only evidence Hanna will use to tell Lance.Hanna took a deep breath and sat next to me again. “Like this, let me clear one thing to you, Celine. I will not interfere in whatever problem is between you and Lance. As like before, I will not interfere with what you and Lance have a problem with. I just want to know the truth about those children. For my mind to be quiet? You know, curiosity. But if you don’t want to tell Lance that, I won’t lead you to tell Lance.”Hanna sounds sincere, the same as before.“You can trust me, Celine.”“But you’re Lance’s friend and right hand?”“And so?” Hanna said nonchalantly about the matter. “Even though I’m Lance’s most loyal person, there are still l

CELINE POV-“You don’t want Lance to be aware of this, do you?”I involuntarily nodded.Following her previous deception, I am unsure if I can place trust in Hanna. Her loyalty to Lance is unwavering, despite the lack of any reason for her to fight with me.“Got it.”My eyes widened. “What do you mean?” I was confused.“I won’t tell Lance about this matter.”“Why?” I was still confused.“Why not? If that’s what you want. Every word I told you a while ago, I will do. Not until you tell Lance about this matter, will I not tell him either.”“Can I trust what you say?I question, even though I am conscious of her ability to trick me.“You can’t trust me, but I will show you I do what I say.”I looked at Hanna without knowing what to say. If I trust her, it’s like I trusted her with the lives of Skye and Sunny.She glanced at her wristwatch. “We have to hurry. Let’s go outside so the glam team can take care of you.”“Glam team, for me? Why?”Hanna shrugs her shoulders. “I don’t know either

CELINE POV-After doing my makeup, Hanna helped me put on the red dress she said I should wear.Confusion causes my forehead to wrinkle as I look at my reflection. This look makes my heart shattered and range. What did Lance want to prove, or what did he want to happen and did this look to me?“Celine, you are beautiful!” A wide smile spread across Hanna’s face as she felt pure happiness and astonishment.My eyes are hurting with tears. I stop them from coming down. I don’t want to cry and my tears fall. I won’t allow this minor concern to make me appear feeble.“Isn’t there another dress?” I asked Hanna behind me.“No more. That is the only dress boss Lance wants you to wear.”I took a deep breath and sat on the bed. I don’t want to look at myself in the mirror and because of this look I feel various emotional pains.“What does Lance really want to happen? Why is he doing this to me?” I looked at Hanna. “We are divorced. I don’t bother them with his new wife, I never communicate wit

CELINE POV-As I was getting off the private jet, I immediately noticed the bodyguards who were waiting for us. When I counted them, there were ten.I continued to follow Hanna until we reached in front a black car. A man, not included in the ten people I counted, opened the car door for us. The total number of bodyguards with us is twelve.I looked around. There is one car each in the back and front of the car and two big motors.“Celine, what’s the matter?”“Why are there so many security guards?” I asked Hanna, looking at her.“For your security. Lance was worried that something bad might happen to you while he wasn’t on your side.”I chuckled. “I’ve been safe for six years without him. Even when we were together for three years, I was safe even without him by my side.”“The situation is different now. There are more enemies around. Let’s go inside. It will take you only fifteen minutes to drive away.”“Only fifteen minutes, but this many guards? And then where are you taking me?”

CELINE POV-Hanna left me in this big house. She told me to wait for Lance and Lance will be here any moment.While waiting, I went around this whole house. The upper floor has a dazzling living room, facing the big blue with a beautiful fireplace and a large skylight. There is also a luxurious primary suite that includes a gigantic bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, shower and a huge walk-in closet. The glassed-in dining room is beautiful. There is also a media room and a larger guest bedroom. On the middle floor, there is a large room with a fireplace right off the pool and an enormous deck. There is also an enormous bedroom with a bathroom, gym, playroom and five-car garage, tennis court, shooting range. What makes it more beautiful is the beachfront and sea views.I looked away from the pool area where on the enormous deck there was a table for two and scattered red rose petals and candles.I closed my eyes and inhaled. I felt my fist clench as I stopped my tears from falling. Why does

CELINE POV-Three minutes, five minutes. I think Lance was on his knees in front of me for almost ten minutes while I just looked at him.I was waiting for him to stand up or else he would laugh at my surprised reaction, but no. For ten minutes, he was still in this position, saying nothing.“Excuse me?” I broke the silence between us.“Celine, marry me again.” He repeated.“No.” I answered, looking directly into Lance’s eyes.I almost laughed when I saw the surprise on his face.Does Lance think that after six years, I still love him so much? I admit Lance still has a part of my heart, but not my brain. Now I know my value as a woman, as a person and above all as a mother, I will not settle for the same as Lance.Once Lance stood up, I also stood up. “Is this what you’re aiming for, so you want to see me? To test how stupid I am?” I asked. “Of course not. I want you to come back to me, Celine. I want us to start over again.”“While you’re still married to someone?”He became silen

CELINE POV-“Are you done?” I asked Lance after he scolded me for everything he did he said was effort and love for me. “If you would just scold me for everything you did, you wouldn’t have bothered to spend time bothering me.”Lance’s eyebrows slowly furrowed until his facial expression softened. “No. No, Celine, that’s not what I meant. I don’t blame you for anything. I’m happy to see you, even though you’re pushing me away. I just want you to see everything I do to prove my love for you.”“You have nothing more to prove to me, Lance. I am content with my life in Chicago. I lived and coped without you. You also been okay with six without me in your life—”“No!” he cut me off. “I have been miserable every day since the disappearance. I always look for your presence. Goddamn! I almost went crazy looking for you. I can’t… I can’t live without you, Celine.” he weakly said. Lance took my hand. “Celine, please. Let’s forget everything that happened before and let’s start—”“No.” I immedi

CELINE POV-I placed a pillow on Sunny’s back before sitting her upright and in a comfortable position. I took the salmeterol from her bag and put the mouthpiece on her lips.“Breathe quickly and deeply,” I instructed Sunny.After doing that, I removed her inhaler, then Skye counted one to six seconds.“Breath out slowly,” I instructed her again.After that, Skye held Sunny’s hand and counted again.“One… Two… Three… Four… Five… Six…”I glanced at Lance, who was on the edge of the bed. He is intently looking at Sunny, his forearm on his chest while his other elbow rests there where his knuckle was moving.“Sixty!”Once Skye’s count reached sixty, we repeated the procedure from the beginning. We did this ten times until Sunny’s feeling and breathing were normal.“She is okay now,” I grabbed Lance’s attention.His blue sea eyes widened as he looked at me. “What do I need to do?”“Get out of this room.”“What?”He asked in disbelief.“I’ll put them to sleep first,” I quickly added.“Oh…
HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE CHAPTER 0153
CELINE POV-“Daddy Superhero, are you the one who will take us to our new house?”“Yes, sweetheart. I will take you to your new house.”Lance had two bodyguards with us carrying our two suitcases.“Do you want me to carry you?” Lance asked Sunny.“Yes!”I had no choice but to hand Sunny over to Lance. I didn’t want to cause trouble here and scare the kids.Lance picked up Sunny, and I carried Skye.“Does our new house have a big playground?” Sunny question as we walked towards the basement parking lot.“Do you want a playground?”“Yes! I want a big playground where Skye and I can play.”“We’re going to build a playground there.”Sunny clapped her hands in joy at Lance’s words.Once they arrived in front of a van, his people opened it, and Lance got in with Sunny.After he lowered Sunny from the seat, he looked at me. “Get in,” he coldly ordered me.I let Skye out of the car first, then we went to the second row of seats together.When we sat down, the door closed, and the driver got

CELINE POV-“Mummy, are we going to move far?” Sunny asked while I was fixing her clothes.“Not too far,” I replied.“Mummy, why are we suddenly moving?” Skye asked.Surely Skye was curious and felt that there was another reason why we were suddenly moving house, and he needed an answer.“The rent fee here is a bit expensive. Mummy found a better and cheaper apartment to rent .” My excuse.“I hope there is a park or playground where we are moving,” Sunny commented excitedly.I put on a face mask for them.I grabbed one large bag and grabbed two large suitcases. I tried to fit all our belongings into the two suitcases. I only brought the most important things.“Let’s go, sweethearts.”When we got out and got off the apartment, I immediately flagged down the first taxi I saw.“Mummy, Auntie Sabrina won’t be coming with us?” Sunny question as we boarded the taxi.“No, sweetheart. But she will visit us again like before,” I replied. “At the airport,” I told the driver as he got in.I won

CELINE POV-I pulled back the arm he was holding with a frown.I waited for him to speak, but after a few seconds, he did not clarify what he was saying; instead, he just fixed his gaze at me.“I don’t have time for this.” I broke the silence, and this is my saying goodbye to him.Before I could walk away to leave Tristan, the door opened again, and two men entered. The one with a name plate is the manager, and the one wearing the suit, I think, is the owner of the restaurant that Lucian Morgan summoned.“Sir Lucian Morgan?” The owner of this restaurant called in surprise. “I didn’t know you were here. Is there anything I can do for you?”I looked at Tristan. “Give me your resume,” he said as he extended his palm.”“Why?” I was confused.“To know why you will not get a job in this city.”I glanced at the two men who had just entered. When they stared at my face, the manager whispered something to the owner of this restaurant, who was circling with his pair of eyes after that.By tha

CELINE POV - “Thank you,” I told the tenant after she finished talking to me. Before entering, I let out a sigh. The tenant informed me that from today the rent for the apartment will be 10,350 dollars. Almost five times the rent last month. I need to pass the interview and get a job; that kind of rent is out of my budget. “Who are you talking to?” Sabrina asked as I entered. “Nothing.” “You sure?” "Hmmm,” I nodded. “Did you bring all your stuff?” I asked, changing the topic. Sabrina will be back in New York to focus on her review. “Yep. It will be a while before I get back here. I have an exam coming up, so I need to focus on my review. But—” she raised her one pointed finger as if she were stopping me from speaking. "But it doesn’t mean that if you need me, you’ll disturb my review. That’s a big no. Okay?” I just nodded. “Oh! Maybe that’s the one who will pick me up,” Sabrina said when someone rang the doorbell. Sabrina opened the door excitedly, and upon se

CELINE POV-After I picked up the kids and we were going out, we saw Conrad in the parking lot.When Conrad’s gaze caught ours, he immediately came over to us.“Boss Lance ordered me to pick you up.”“Didn’t Lance understand what I told him?”I clearly told him earlier before I got out of the car that I don’t want us to have any kind of connection and that even picking up anyone who has anything to do with him, he shouldn’t do it anymore.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Madame. Boss Lance just sent me here to pick you up. Shall we go?”The weather was cloudy.I just nodded and went in the direction of Conrad’s car.“Where is Daddy superhero?” Sunny asked as we entered.“He’s busy,” Conrad replied.“He is just like Daddy Tristan, always busy.”I stroked Sunny’s hair and didn’t comment. It would be better if Lance got away from us sooner rather than later before Sunny got completely attached to him.The trip from school to the outside of the apartment building was quick, and a
HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE CHAPTER 0148
CELINE POV-When we got down from the apartment, I shifted my gaze to Sabrina after seeing Lance here with the car we rode in yesterday.“Wow!” Skye couldn't help but marvel at the car again.“I don’t know. I’m just not in the mood to go outside.” She explained before I could ask."Maybe it was just a coincidence. Right?” I asked sarcastically.“Yes. Of course, it was just a coincidence.”I believed what Sabrina said.I sat in front of the kids. “Skye, do you want to ride in that car again?”Skye catches a glimpse at Lance. “No.”“Why?” Sunny asked. “You want that car.”“Yes.”Sunny held Skye’s hand. “Then, let’s go. We’ll be safe with him.”Skye and I both did nothing when Sunny pulled him towards Lance.“Let’s go to school, daddy superhero.”Skye looked at the ground.“I’m not here to just drop you off.”“Eh? Why?”Lance sat in front of them, then showed the car key in front of Skye. “I will give this car to Skye.”His voice is not so cheerful but not too dry either.Skye quickly l

CELINE POV - “Sunny, it looks like she really likes art,” Lance said as she stared at Sunny. We were at the Art Institute, walking around. It was surprising that apart from the four of us, no one else was here, or maybe because it was only a few minutes before seventeen o’clock, the museum’s closing time. Since there was no one else around, I let Sunny look at the art alone, of course with Skye by her side. We were about ten steps away from them so that Sunny could enjoy going here more and so that Skye wouldn’t be too nervous. Sunny held Skye’s hand wherever she went. “As she said a while ago, she’s not sure either,” I replied coldly. “Why isn’t she sure? She seems to be enjoying it now.” “Maybe because she’s just used to coming here, or because she appreciates everything she sees. In her condition, she can only go to places like this occasionally, to museums—when there aren’t too many people, the surroundings aren’t dirty, she won’t see anything that can excite her fe
HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE CHAPTER 0146
CELINE POV-“Skye, are you okay?” I asked when he didn’t move or speak after seeing Lance.“I’m sorry, mummy.”“Why, sweetheart? Why are you apologizing?”“I am not brave.”I hugged Skye.I told him once that if he wanted something or wanted to do something but was afraid, he should go for it rather than regret it later.I don’t want Skye to be like me; there are many things I haven’t done because of fear of the people around me or what might happen because of fear.“It’s okay to not be brave sometimes. You can still feel scared.”“I want to go home. I want to see Daddy Tristan.”I bite my lower lip. If I had a hard time without him, I’m sure the kids have a harder time adjusting without Tristan. How many times have they looked for Tristan in me? I’m running out of excuses why we can’t be with him.I don’t want to confuse the children by telling the truth about why we can’t be with Tristan again.“Are you sure you want to go home? I thought you wanted to ride in this car?” “I’m scar
