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
CELINE POV-“What!?” I snorted. “What do you mean, new job?”I saw Lance tighten his grip on the papers he was holding before he let go and placed them on the table.Lance tightened his jaw while maintaining his gaze on me. “Do you think I don’t know what you’re f*cking doing, Celine? You were absent from no d*mn excuse for consecutive f*cking days. For f*cking what? Go f*cking awol and get fired from your f*cking job on g*dd*mn purpose?”Why didn’t I consider Lance was not that foolish to assume that thing?“I warned f*cking you Celine. You are simply devising a g*dd*mm*t plan to keep your distance from me, I have a plan ready, so you won’t be out of my sight.” Lance said firmly and angrily, but calmly.“You can’t do this.”“If you believe I’m breaching the contract, you are free to d*mn terminate your contract. Inform me immediately if you intend to terminate the contract, so I can figure out where we should go on our first date.” he said in his cold baritone voice. He shows no em
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…
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
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
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
