CELINE POV - The next morning I woke up earlier than I used to wake up. I’m also not sure if I fell asleep. All night long, I looked at Skye several times. Sometimes, I also saw Tristan coming to their room to check with Skye, so when I got out of the room, I did not wonder if Tristan was still asleep soundly on the couch. I approached Tristan to fix the blanket on his body. When I looked at his face, I couldn’t help but stare at Tristan’s face. Tristan is the kind of guy who is cute and, at the same time is handsome while he sleeps. He is also attractive while sleeping, especially noticeable with his natural long eyelashes. His naturally thick eyebrows were yet in order to make him even more handsome. Behind the fit and bulky physique, Tristan has a cute side he doesn’t show anyone. But even so he is a loving, caring and responsible man. I silently laughed as Tristan moved his lips along. I saw his dimples. In fact, except for Skye and Sunny, Tristan’s dimples are stressf
CELINE POV-“Mummy, when Skye gets better, can we play?” Sunny asked while the three of us were in the living room.Until this time, Skye still doesn’t speak, she just nods and shakes his head whenever Sunny and I ask or talk to him. “Yes sweetheart, you can play with Skye again when Skye gets better and his fever gets away,” I answered and then I looked at Skye and kissed his on the cheek.“Hey!” Sunny said happily. “Did you hear that, Skye? get well soon, so we can play.”Skye’s only answer was a nod.I’m starting to worry about what Skye is doing. I can understand if Skye is like this only with Tristan and us, and not with Sunny. Because when it comes to Sunny, no matter how Sunny annoys Skye, and even if Skye doesn’t want to speak, if Sunny will be the one to talk to Skye, he will also change his voice in lively, so that Sunny won’t worry about Skye. Sunny’s smile dwindled. “Skye, are you mad at me?”Skye shook his head in response.“Why don’t you talk to me anymore? You don’
CELINE POV-It was night when Tristan came to my apartment and as soon as I opened the door for Tristan, his head bent down and let out a sigh.“I know. Your discussion with him did not go well, Tristan.”Tristan quickly looked up at me. “How did you know?”“Bianca told me that tomorrow is our first day at the Heavenly hotel and that means that you and Lance didn’t have a pleasant conversation.”“I’m sorry. it’s my fault–”“No,” I cut off Tristan’s self-blame. “You don’t have any fault. I know you did everything to terminate the contract.”“But I didn’t do enough because of my minor mistake.”“What a mistake?” I asked in surprise.I opened the door more first and then let Tristan in. After I closed the door, Tristan and I went straight to the living room.“Where are Skye and Sunny?” Tristan asked, as sitting on the couch. “Is Skye all right?”“Skye and Sunny are already asleep. As for Skye’s condition, his body temperature is slowly getting better.”“Good to know about that. I’m sorr
CELINE POV-I was in Skye and Sunny’s room all night. I slept here to monitor Skye’s situation.Last night after Sunny called me and I ran to their room, my heart almost broke when I saw Skye crying in his sleep and he kept calling me.Forced, but I gently woke Skye up to stop what he was dreaming. When he woke up, the only thing he said to me was that the monster in his dream was chasing me.I didn’t ask Skye about his dream, so he wouldn’t remember it when he fell asleep again.Today I cooked breakfast for the three of us. Later, I will call Bianca to say that I cannot go to our first day at the Heavenly hotel.After what happened last night with Skye, I can’t leave them with Sunny until I’m sure they’re okay.I stopped for a moment while mixing pancake flour with banana when my phone rang on the table.I answered Tristan’s call, then continued mixing the pancakes I was going to cook for Skye and Sunny.“Celine, I’m on my way there. Sorry if I woke up a little late.” Tristan said o
CELINE POV-I just thought that Skye was sick. That’s he was acting at me like that. It also made me less worried that Sunny was not leaving Skye.While I am in the kitchen chopping ingredients for our lunch, Skye and Sunny were in the living room. They watched cartoons that were their favorite shows.Somehow, Sunny can talk to Skye. It’s just that it’s not like before that Skye patiently answers every question Sunny asks Skye. Now, out of Sunny’s ten questions, Skye only answers two.Maybe because Skye just got sick again. That’s why he’s acting like. this, maybe Skye isn’t used to being sick.I focused my attention on cooking first so that Skye and Sunny could eat on time. I cut quite a few small cubes of carrot that I will put in the spaghetti sauce.I cooked the fried chicken and pasta sauce at the same time to speed up my cooking. I was about to turn the fried chicken to the other side, and my phone rang again. I think it’s Tristan calling again. He has called several times si
CELINE POV - I didn’t tell Tristan what happened yesterday. I didn’t even mention Lance went here yesterday. “Are you sure nothing happened yesterday?” Tristan asked again. Today Tristan and I are eating breakfast with Skye and Sunny. Tristan came here to the apartment earlier to make sure he will cook us breakfast and lunch before he leaves and will go to Stellar restaurant. “Nothing,” I answered Tristan’s question. “So, why was your phone off yesterday?” “I... I can’t find my charger, therefore I opened my phone late.” Following his nod, Tristan continued to feed Skye. I couldn’t help but worry about Skye again. When Tristan came and he talked to Skye, somehow Skye answered, meanwhile when to me, Skye he hasn’t talked to me except for nodding and shaking his head in response. “Celine?” I looked at Tristan after I felt he held my hand on the table. “I’ve been calling you. Are you okay?” I forced myself to smile in front of my children so they wouldn’t worry about me. “Ye
CELINE POV-“Mummy, where’s daddy Tristan?” Skye asked me.“Daddy Tristan, will be back soon.”“He won’t leave us?”“No. Daddy Tristan will not leave us.”Skye leaned his head against my body. “Mummy, I’m sleepy.”“You can sleep. I will not leave you.”“I’m scared. I want daddy Tristan.”I kissed Skye on the forehead and did my best to prevent even a single tear from rolling down my eye.We are now at the hospital, where an expert doctor has conducted a mental health check-up on Skye. We are waiting for Tristan outside the office of the doctor who diagnosed Skye.When Tristan suspected Skye might be experiencing the aftermath of a traumatic event based on what Skye shared with Tristan. Tristan said Skye told him that if Skye makes noise, there is a get me and Skye and that monster will hurt us. Tristan didn’t understand what Skye said. That’s why Tristan spent the entire day seeking a doctor who could assess Skye.It didn’t take long for Tristan to exit the doctor’s office and glan
CELINE POV-Since Skye has recovered from the fever, we decided to let go to kindergarten first. We arrived at school earlier because Tristan and I had a discussion with Skye’ and Sunny’s teacher regarding Skye’s situation.“I’m sorry to hear about that. I will make sure we don’t give any reason to trigger Skye’s situation. I will also redouble the focus on Skye and Sunny, Ma’am and Sir.” The teacher said while we were talking to her outside the classroom.“Thank you so much, Teacher Agnes.” I sincerely thank her.I gaze at Skye and Sunny, who were now happily playing and talking with their fellow children.Despite the teacher’s assurance of watching over my children, I still couldn’t eliminate the fear of what might happen to them while I was away. What if Sunny’s illness will attack her suddenly? What if Skye suddenly remembers about the monster he was talking about and I’m not with them when that happens?“I’ll will call both of you right away if there’s even a little of trouble
• • • • • ( F L A S H B A C K ) • • • • • ....LANCE POV-It was four in the morning when the private jet landed in the hangar. I still had time to eat breakfast with my family, Sunny, Skye and Celine, and most of all, I had plenty of time to spend with Celine on her special day. I couldn’t wait to show her my surprise.When I got off the private jet, I received a private message from an unknown phone number. My vision and surroundings went dark after I saw the photo that was sent to me. A few moments later, Hannah called.“Freya needs you.”“Freya?”I felt a twinge of suspicion. I looked around. My men were waiting for my order, while the others continued to watch where they were standing.I pretended to hurry back to the private jet. “I’ll be there in less than an hour.” I told Hannah and ended the call. “Let’s go back to New York,” I ordered the pilot. “My wife needs me.” I said it firmly, full of pretended concern. My statement surprised almost a
[ NEW YORK ]....HANNAH POV-“What the f*ck Dylan?!”Boss Lance’s voice boomed as I entered the entrance hall heading towards the living room. I rolled my eyes after I saw Freya’s face and moved the joystick of her electric wheelchair towards Lance.“Babe, what’s wrong?” Freya asked softly.It’s still terrifying to watch Lance let Freya slither around him like a snake. She can take care of Freya, but letting Freya get close to her is what I hate. He is pursuing Madame Celine, but after what happened to Freya, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t hurt Freya? no No. He doesn’t need to take care of Freya anymore because it’s confirmed that she’s not pregnant.I can’t understand Lance’s mind anymore. When the time comes for him to cry again about what he is doing to Madame Celine, I will make sure that I am by his side and I will not leave his side to laugh at him.Lance ended the call, then looked at Freya. He has a blank face expression so I can’t read Lance’s feelings on his face w
[ CHICAGO ]....CELINE POV-Two days had passed since I received Sabrina’s message. She even apologized to me for sending those pictures because she said shouldn’t have done it, I just told her it was okay.At some point, I could prepare myself for what Lance might say–but as long as he doesn’t say that, I will trust him.“Mummy, when is Auntie Sabrina coming back?” Sunny asked.Sabrina told me yesterday that she had resigned from her job and was going to look for a new job here in Chicago. I didn’t get to ask any more details because I was also not myself and was focused on cleaning her room.“Maybe before nightfall, Auntie Sabrina will be here.” I replied to my child. “Let’s go?” I asked them after I had tidied up their things.Dylan invited us to his restaurant for breakfast for the food tasting of his restaurant that will open in the next two days. Many people are looking forward to opening the restaurant, which caused that only a select few were invited on that day because i
[ NEW YORK ]....SABRINA POV-THERE were so many thoughts running through my mind that I managed to slap my client. I wasn’t satisfied with slapping this maniac old man CEO; I stood up and poured orange juice with ice cubes in his face. While he was still in shock at what I did, I put away my things.I was in a billionaire company. I forced my Senior to give it to me and I assured him I would make the client agree to come to our company to assist. But this maniac CEO, while I was explaining, came closer to me, squeezing my arm until his rough hand landed on my shoulder and after a while, he slid his hand down to my chest so I couldn’t control myself anymore.“I will make sure you get fired from your job!” this old man shouted.I sneer a smile, then raise my middle finger at his face. “Bye, old freaking ugly man.”I hurried out of his office as I noticed he looked like he was going to turn into a dragon with smoke coming out of his nostrils.I was thinking about what happened yester
CELINE POV-It was around seven in the evening when we arrived at the hotel. I turned off the engine and looked at the hotel entrance, my feeling became heavy again.What I had heard earlier came back to my mind. Is there anything I’m still holding on to? That there was still hope Lance and I could fix this? Or is there anything else we need to fix?“Mummy, are you okay?” I heard Skye ask.In an instant–which even I don’t know how I did–I smiled and made sure there was no trace of a problem on my face so that my children wouldn’t worry.“Yes, sweetheart,” I answered Skye, looking at them. “Mummy is okay. I’ll get you off first.”After I got off, I went straight to the passenger door to open the door for my children and helped them down.“Sweethearts, didn’t I bring your jacket?” I asked them while continuing to look for a jacket that I could put over their heads.“We didn’t see any jackets there, Mummy.” Sunny replied.I slapped my forehead before getting out of the car and closing t
HELLO EVERYONE/READERS,For some reason I can't reply to the comment box.I would like to apologize for the delay in uploading a new chapter/s, also I would like to apologize if I disappointed each of you with the previous chapters. Every comment is also sincerely appreciated. 🥹I had PCD (Post-concert depression). Don't worry, it's not a mental health issue (for me). The concert I went to I have been a fan for ten years, and in those ten years I have been able to attend their concert twice. It still feels unreal to be able to attend their concert. I had PCD for almost two weeks, and it's the reason I can't focus.In a few days, I'll be able to upload new chapters and I'll make sure that this long period of not updating will not happen again.Once again, I apologize for the long delay in uploading the new chapter/s.I SINCERELY THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR CONTINUE READING, SUPPORTING, GIVING GEMS, LEAVING COMMENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU! 🥹💕💖 🥹💞💗
CELINE POV-“Why did you do this?”“I didn’t. I just saw that your car’s tires were flat.”“Do you know how much perversion you have done?”“Your tire will be fixed right away. These people can take your car to wherever you are before the end of the day.”I glanced quickly at the two people Hendrix was referring to, then at him.What else can I do? I can’t change the tire if I get angry. This needs to be done immediately so my children don't have to ride public transportation, which could be harmful to their health.“Wait a second,” I told the two mechanics.I went to the passenger seat to get my kids’ bags. “Let’s go, sweethearts. Our car needs to get fixed first.”Skye got out first, followed by Sunny. After I got off them, I took the key and gave it to the two mechanics.Once the two mechanics reached for the key, they quickly moved. One opened the truck door and the other started my car. After they got in my car, they left immediately.“Mummy, why did they take our car?” Sunny ask
CELINE POV-As soon as Conrad got out of the elevator, Lance went inside.“B-Boss…”As the elevator closed, Conrad looked my way. His eyes widened after he saw me.“Madame Celine,” he called me in surprise as he came closer to me.“Hmmm?” I asked without opening my lips.I forced both ends of my lips to curve upwards while holding back tears.“Have you been here a while, Madame?”I opened my mouth. When I felt my voice getting hoarse, I took a deep breath before speaking. “Yes. Before the elevator opened.”He turned quickly to the elevator that Lance had taken and then immediately looked back at me.“Did you hear what Boss Lance said?”“Why did you come here?” I changed the subject.“Have you talked to Boss Lance?”I shook my head. “I don’t think we need to talk anymore. I’ve heard his reason.”“I think you need to talk to him,” he handed me my car keys. “Your car is parked outside the building, Madame.”“Thank you.”I followed Conrad’s gaze as he walked back to the front of the eleva
CELINE POV-“Are you sure of what you are saying?” I asked her.“Yes,” she answered confidently. “Conrad went to the restaurant to meet you there. He can’t call Sir Lance's phone either.”“Conrad couldn’t call Lance’s phone number?” I assured her.“Yes.”Is it just a coincidence that Lance’s phone number couldn’t be called and he didn’t come?“Celine!”I looked at Sabrina in surprise after she yelled at me right in my face.“Why?”“I am asking you why you are not with Sir Lance. Did you know someone rang the doorbell yesterday, and then I checked the intercom? The man had his back turned, but I doubt it was Sir Lance; that’s why I didn’t open it. Because Conrad told me not to open the door if he’s not the one outside. I’m not one hundred percent sure if it’s Sir Lance because he has his back turned and seems to be talking to someone on the phone.”I assumed Lance had come here. Maybe something unexpected happened that made him not arrive?“CELINE!”I felt like I was going to be deafen
