CELINE POV - When I arrived at the hotel, I noticed that there were people working at the former Stellar restaurant's place. “Madame Celine, you’ve arrived here. I was planning to come to you at the cemetery.” “Ah, yes. I left there early it because—” Possibly he’ll tell Lance that Tristan and I met. “What’s being done there?” I changed the subject as I pointed to the former Stellar restaurant’s place. “Matthew’s restaurant is opening soon.” “Matthew’s restaurant? Hannah’s brother Dylan’s restaurant, right?” “Yes, Madame. Would you like to take a look?” “Is that okay?” I’m curious that Dylan agreed to have a branch here, from New York to Chicago. Christine and Astrid had told me before Dylan didn’t want Matthew’s restaurant to have multiple branches because it was too tiring for Dylan. “Yes, Madame. Let’s go? I’ll join you inside.” I nodded and followed Conrad. When we entered, it was no different from the main branch in New York; it was just a smaller place

CELINE POV - “Good morning, sweethearts!” Sabrina greeted us warmly as we entered the kitchen. “Good morning, Auntie!” The kids greeted back at the same time. “Are you leaving?” I asked Sabrina while supporting the kids to sit down. “Wow! You are a big girl and big boy.” Sabrina complimented the two of them then turned her attention back to me. “Yep. I’m going to go to the store I saw; I might run out of that book if I did not buy it right away.” “Do you want me to accompany you with the children?” I offered while sitting next to her. “After all, it's weekend now.” “Thanks, but no thanks. Conrad will be with me, other thing,” Sabrina leaned her face close to my ear. “Maybe you have a family bond.” I don’t think so. Since yesterday, I haven’t known what’s going on with Lance. He didn’t pick up the kids; he didn’t send a message if he was coming or when he was coming. I don’t think we’ll be expecting Lance today. “Ask him if he knows anything about next week.” He was

CELINE POV-“Wow!” Sunny pointed to the huge playground.“Wow!” Sunny pointed at the zip line.“Wow!” Sunny pointed at the pool.“Wow!” Sunny pointed at the sea.“Wooooow!” Skye and Sunny utter in amazement while looking at the large and spacious house.From where we stood outside the house, we could see what Sunny had pointed out.Lance took us to the private villa he took me to when he kidnapped me.I didn't expect it, I didn't even know that he would bring us here. A lot has changed in this place, there have been things Sunny has pointed out. There is also a large inflatable playground in the sea and I can see a speed boat. There is a kiddie pool around it with statues of Skye and Sunny’s favorite cartoons. There is also an open area cottage not far from the sea.The area looked like a private beach resort with fun activities and more relaxing because there were a few plants around.“Did you like it here?” Lance questions the two.Skye and Sunny turned to face Lance. “Yes!” they

CELINE POV - At this time we are here at the inflatable playground. We are in the part of the slide that goes straight to the sea. Lance is already in the sea; he slides first while holding a phone pointed at us. Lance slid first to catch Sunny. We are all wearing life vests, but it is still dangerous for Sunny if her vest gets stuck to her body, and she might have difficulty breathing in the sea. Sunny sat down, then raised her hand and, without hesitation, slid down. Next, Skye got ready to slide. “No!” Skye yelled so Lance could hear that Skye didn't want to be caught. “Okay!” Lance simply replied then effortlessly placed Sunny around his neck. “One! Two! Thre–” Before I could finish counting, Skye slid happily, while I almost felt my heart jump out of my body from the nervousness of what he had done. When I saw Skye descend smoothly into the sea, my heart rate returned to normal. I realized that I was next; my nervousness returned. This was my first time going into the se

CELINE POV - It’s been over an hour since I put Sunny and Skye to bed. After dinner and playing with Lance, I put them to sleep easily because of the tiredness. But, for me, no matter what, I’m tired too, and no matter how hard I try to close my eyes, I can’t sleep. Every time I close my eyes, our laughter and what we did all day suddenly come to mind. What happened all day was like a dream. No. Even in my dreams, I wouldn’t have thought that these things would happen. Lance would be with us full of joy and happiness. I forget to think of anything like the fear of if he would hurt our children, if he would throw me out, if he wouldn’t get furious because I talked to him. For me, this is kind of magical that I don’t want to end. That’s probably why I can’t sleep right away; I'm scared. I don’t want to think about things like this in front of my children. I don’t want to think that even what Lance showed our children wasn’t true. I got up and made sure there were big pillows on bo

CELINE POV - “Is something bothering you?” Lance intruded on the noisy silence between us. “You’re a heavy sleeper, so it’s just surprising you suddenly woke up in a short period of time.” I swallowed hard. “I just... suddenly woke up.” “Do you want me to believe your reason?” He sounded sarcastic yet concerned. My vision gradually blurred as tears formed. I saw the rise and fall of his Adam’s apple while he fixed his gaze at me. "Lance,” the moment I mentioned his name, my tears fell. “Hmm?” He questioned softly. How can I tell him the things that are bothering me when he himself is bothering me? And I shouldn't think about this matter because, after all, we both have an agreement. I shook my head. “I’m going back inside,” I said in a hurry. “Why don’t you tell me what’s bothering you?” he asked before I even took a step. “I want to know how you feel; I want to know if I’ve done anything else that you didn’t like. This morning, I know I hurt you, but no matter what I think,

CELINE POV-Along with my puffiness and redness, my eyes felt dry, especially around my eyes from crying so much. I continued to cry even though there were no more tears coming out of my eyes and they were already hurting. Lance tried to calm me down from crying, and now we were sitting in the cabanas while his hand was holding my hand.Looking at my hand that he was holding, I couldn't help but cry… out of joy.“Hey,”When I looked into Lance’s eyes, he folded his pointer finger and gently wiped my cheek.“You’re about to cry again.”“I just can’t believe it,” I confess.“I also can’t believe your hands are so small.”I quickly glared at Lance.“I was just trying to lighten your mood—but, wow!” He brought his hand closer to my face. “Your face is small in my hand.”“Because your hands are big.” I laughed softly as I said it.Even though my mood was light at this time, I still couldn’t shake the feeling of being tired from crying so much. The joy I felt was still overwhelming.“You’r

CELINE POV - “I’ll be back before dinner. I’ll join you for dinner. It’s just something important that I’ll take care of in New York,” Lance explained in a whisper as we got off the private jet. We had just returned from Chicago. Before we got back here, Lance’s face was already worried, and he said he had something important to do in New York. I told him that he didn’t need to accompany us back to Chicago since we were already in New York earlier, but he insisted and wanted to see for himself we would arrive safely and return to the hotel with Conrad. I nodded. “I understand. Go say goodbye to the kids first,” I suggested. He nodded too. “Skye, Sunny!" I called out to them, who were now talking to Sabrina and Conrad. Before we could even get close to the kids, they had already come to us. Lance sat down in front of Skye and Sunny. “Did you enjoy yourself?” “Yes!” The siblings answered in unison. “When are we going back there again?” Sunny asked. “Before you finish school,

THIRD PERSON POV-As soon as Lance woke up, the first thing came to his mind was his recurring dream where Celine left him. He let out a sigh, trying to get that dream out of his mind, until he became aware he couldn’t hear Celine’s voice, that he played before falling asleep.The two things were working, which made him wonder why they were both off. He dismissed that puzzle after realizing nine hours had passed since the scheduled time he should have risen.He impetuously moved. He was about to run to the bathroom, but he was again surprised to find his suitcase missing.“I’ll just buy some new clothes.” Lance uttered to himself.He went out first and hurried downstairs.“BENJAMIN!” He called out loudly to the person who was in charge of his mansion whenever he was not there.Lance called Benjamin several times. He even went to the kitchen, but before he could enter, Benjamin was already in front of him.“I told you to wake me up at nine in the morning.”“Ah, Sir Lance, about that–”

CELINE POV-I held Skye's and Sunny’s hands and headed for the main door. I was about to ring the doorbell, but it suddenly opened from the inside.“Madame Celine!” Benjamin cheerfully greeted me, the mansion’s head cook who had also taught me to cook before. It was nice to see him still here. “Welcome back!” he tearfully muttered.“Thank you, Benjamin.”He gazed downwards at my children. “What are they doing here?” Benjamin looked back at me. “I mean, Sir Lance is planning to go to Italy two hours from now.”“What will he do there?” I asked. Perhaps he had other business scheduled.“To visit you. He plans to spend two days there to see you.”“Mummy, where are we?” Skye asked.Benjamin’s eyes widened. “I’m sorry. I’m so excited to see you, Madame. Come in first.”“Mummy used to live here, sweethearts.” I answered Skye’s question before we entered.Once we entered, I observed almost nothing had changed except for a wall with pictures of me, Skye, and Sunny hanging on the wall.“Mummy,

CELINE POV-It wasn’t even fifteen minutes before Hendrix returned to the mansion.Giovanni can’t accompany us and they don’t want my children and I to leave alone, we’ll have Hendrix drive us back to New York. Also, Hendrix himself showed up to take us to New York hours ago before he took me here to the mansion.Hendrix carried Skye while I carried Sunny. They both fell asleep again as I changed their clothes.“Say hello to Hannah for me,” Giovanni whispered to me as he hugged me.“If she asks you.” I laughed and whispered back to Giovanni.“Andrea.” He sullenly called me by my real name.I looked at our parents. I smiled at them. I’m so lucky to have parents like them, a family like them. Without their intervention, the fear of confronting Lance would have kept me frozen.“Be careful. We will go to New York next on our grandchildren’s birthday.” Mommy pronounce.“Hendrix, take care of our daughter and grandchildren.” Daddy reminded him.“Yes, Sir.” Hendrix responded.Daddy returned

CELINE POV-I easily got Sunny to sleep, especially Skye. Skye’s eyes were tired from crying.Looking at my child sleeping after talking to Skye, I couldn’t rest. I couldn’t sleep well until I was sure my children weren’t burdened with heavy feelings.What if there were more things Skye and Sunny weren’t telling me? Things that were heavy on their hearts and minds.I slowly got up and kissed my children on the foreheads then left the room.My parents were waiting for me in the living room to talk to me. I was sure it was about their grandchildren. Like me, they couldn’t sleep well until they knew what they heard earlier.Once I went downstairs, I saw Giovanni waiting with our parents.“Did you talk to Skye?” Mommy asked as I sat down.Along with my nod, I took a deep breath. “He was referring to Lance. He has known for a long time.”“How?” Giovanni asked.“In their eyes. They have the same eyes, and when Skye saw how much they looked alike, he suspected Lance was their real father.”“

CELINE POV- The dinner that Hendrix and I were supposed to have didn’t happen, and I didn’t even go to see Lance, instead Hendrix drove me to the mansion. He didn’t let me drive, even though I insisted I could drive. I think it’s a good thing he forced me to drive to the mansion. The entire trip, I was thinking about nothing but what he said about Lance.I wanted to think about what Hendrix said to me.“Celine?”When I heard Hendrix’s voice, I noticed we were already outside the main door. He was already outside and the passenger door was open.I unbuckled my seatbelt, then got out of the car and closed the door.“Thank you.”“No worries. Think about what I told you. I’m here until tomorrow night.”I nodded. “I’ll think about it. I’ll call you right away if I change my mind.”There was a small smile on his lips at the last words I said.“I’m leaving.”I nodded, not knowing what to say.I followed Hendrix’s car with my eyes until it headed towards the main gate and exited.I remained

CELINE POV-One corner of my lips twitched while reading the documents, including in Giovanni’s computer.It’s nice that Giovanni is in the right hands with our family company.I was dropping the folders I was holding on the table when Giovanni’s telephone rang, connected to the entire building.“Good afternoon, Ma’am Andrea. Mr. Lance Hart is here.” Enzo informed me on the other line.I glanced at the digital clock. Twenty minutes before six in the evening, I didn’t notice the time.“Let him in here.”“Yes, Ma’am.”After I hung up the phone, I arranged the papers I had read to hide them again.I hadn’t finished arranging them when I heard footsteps approaching me and, as I looked at the owner, it was the person I was expecting.“Sorry if I was late. There was a problem with my private jet, which required me to buy a new one.”“It’s okay, Mr. Lance Hart.” I said formally. I pointed to the open area. “Sit down there. I’ll be right next in a second.”“Sure.” He also replied formally.On

CELINE POV-I spent time at the coffee shop after leaving the hospital and after talking to Hannah.Mom also informed me they had released Giovanni because his condition was better than expected. He just needed to rest his legs and arms for one to two weeks.I sighed, remembering the conversation between Hannah and me.I wanted to take back what I had told Hannah, to talk to Lance. It’s all clear to me, so why do I need to hear what he has to say?“Here,”I looked at the iced Spanish vanilla coffee along with the cookies and cream croffle that Ashley had placed in front of me.“Are you having a problem?” She asked, sitting in the other chair.“I’m sorry if I’m not that helpful here.”“It’s okay so I can learn to talk to other people too,” Ashley said with a smile.I smiled at Ashley’s words and took a sip of my coffee.It seems everyone is ready to face what they fear, yet I thought I was courageous, but for Lance’s love, I was always afraid of the truth. Even though I know he didn’t

CELINE POV-I picked up the medicine bottle. My forehead furrowed, reading what this medicine was.I took medicine like this after I moved here to Italy, but with the help of my family I could stop needing this medicine.This medicine is calming whenever feeling fear or unable to control heavy emotions.I shifted my gaze to Hannah. She was already standing and looking at me. Her eyes were red. What caught my attention was her trembling hands.“Q…Queen…”My brow creased, not just because of what she called me, but because of her raspy voice.I shifted my gaze to Giovanni. His eyes were also red.“What’s going on here?” I asked, still full of ponder. “Do you know each other? How? Since when?” I take back my gaze and forth between the two of them until my gaze settles on my brother. “Why didn’t you tell me?”If he knew Hannah, he would know that she was close to Lance.“I’m going out now…”My gaze shifted to Hannah again. This was the first time I had heard her voice shaking, as well as

CELINE POV-It felt like I had fallen and got up when I remembered I was in a meeting. When I got up at the same time as I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see that I was in the room and my children were next to me.I slowly got up to avoid waking my children. I took my phone out of my bag and saw that it was only seven in the morning.I usually wake up at twelve to one in the afternoon if my children don’t wake me up.I fall asleep late when I don’t take sleeping pills, so I wake up late. I still feel heavy every time I wake up. I always lack sleep and force myself to get up even after less than four hours of sleep, so that I can do something and be with my children before they start school again.My body clock is the reason I haven’t been able to work at the company, but now, except for waking up early, I feel light.I kissed my children on the forehead. I smiled, seeing them sleeping soundly. I just saw my children sleeping again in the morning.It was still one to two hours befo
