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

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. He said what he had to say was a private matter.When we arrived at the restaurant and sat down, the waitress served us food, after that, Lucian told them to leave us.“I’m sorry, Lucian. I didn’t plan on staying lo

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. When I looked at h

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
