LANCE POV

-

“Lance.” Hannah stopped me.

Hendrix lifted one side of his lips.

I tightened my grip on his collar. “You and your brother, you both stay away from Celine.”

“Don’t forget you’re not in your territory.”

He seized my hand and released my grip on his collar.

“Lance!” Hannah whispered loudly and pulled my suit from behind to make me sit up.

“I will let this go, as compensation for what your men did in helping Lucian during your wedding,” he said while fixing his tangled collar.

I turned to Hannah for an explanation. She shrugged her shoulders, not knowing what Hendrix was talking about.

“What are you talking about?” I asked him.

“Lucian went to Fire-Hart Castle six years ago,” he casually answered.

Six years ago, that was the time I got married there.

“He is with a woman, which is why your man let him in.”

He is with a woman; it’s possible that Celine was with him. That means that day she was there and witnessed it. I didn’t know she was there that day. Surely she herded every

    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,

    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

    CELINE POV-Hendrix extended his palm. “Shall we go in together?” He asked me.We toured the theme park, rode the few rides we had planned to ride before, and we also played the machine games as well as the arcade games.Now we were in front of the Ferris wheel, and we planned to ride it last.“No, thank you.” I refused the hand he offered.I rode the Ferris wheel first and as he rode someone locked the door and started it.During the few hours I was with Hendrix, I didn’t think about anything else. I tried to focus and try to enjoy this place.Once we reached the top, the Ferris wheel stopped whirling.It was scary, but I still found myself smiling slightly after I saw almost the entire theme park.“The Ferris wheel is actually what you've wanted to ride the most since then.”I nodded without taking my gaze down. “The way you drew the Ferris wheel before, it was colourful, and you could see a lot from just one seat. Then it was close to the stars, and this is the exact one you showed

    CELINE POV- “I don't have time to joke around.”“Likewise,” he said meagerly.I calmed my feelings down first. “You won’t hurt me, will you?”“No,” he answered sparingly but directly.Somehow his answer made me feel at ease. I had no choice but to just believe what he said. I didn’t have anything with me except the mini makeup kit in the purse I was carrying.“Where are you taking me?”“To my gift for you.”“Gift?”“Don’t you accept late gifts?”“No. That’s not what I meant.”I didn’t explain anymore, and I didn’t open my mouth for a while.I’ll wait until we get to where he wants to go, so his nonsense can end.“We’re almost where we’re going,” I heard him say as I looked out the window.————About ten minutes later, he stopped in front of an amusement park.“Come on!” He was so excited that he even giggled.I laughed a little at his reaction.I also got out of the car. I looked around; except for the amusement park staff, Hendrix and I, I didn't see anyone else.What was surprising

    CELINE POV-“Thank you,” I said with a smile to the manager and the female server who served me a glass of water earlier when I saw them in the lobby.“Ma’am, wait!” They exclaim at the same time.I stopped walking when they ran towards me.“I want to apologize again for what happened earlier,” the woman regretfully said.“I also want to apologize for my negligence,” the manager said and bowed his head.“Don’t think about that. It’s okay,” I told them. “Is that all you want to say?”“Ah, no.” They suddenly panicked.The manager handed me a paper bag. I took it and peeked at the contents. Inside the paper bag was a suit coat and a familiar calling card.“What is this for?” I asked.“Sir Hendrix Morgan left those. He asked me to give you the paper bag.”I returned the paper bag to the manager, but he didn’t take it.“Give it back to him,” I stated.The manager took a deep breath. “I…” then he exhaled, and his face was covered with worry. “I’m sorry, ma’am. If you give back to me, he war

    CELINE POV-“You should have let the woman kneel down earlier,” my eyebrows furrowed at Hendrix’s words. “Or you should have let her terminate her job.”Is that the kind of person he is? He likes seeing other people suffer? Didn’t he think about that person’s situation? Maybe that person’s job was too valuable to her. That person wouldn’t dare to lower her knee to the ground if she did not badly need the job.“Don’t judge me,” he said, laughing.He read my thoughts?He faced me, he crossed his legs, and rested his elbow on the table. “Someone like her needs to learn a lesson; she needs to pay for her mistake—that’s all I’m saying. It’s not just the surprise that that person ruined but also your feelings. That person not only ruined the surprise for you but also your feelings. She hurt you badly, and your mind was confused by what happened. Who wouldn’t think and be glad that you were expecting someone, but then the wrong person would come in front of you? Right?” He raised his pointed

    CELINE POV-I couldn’t move from where I was standing as I turned to look at the man who uttered my name.My forehead wasn’t wrinkled, but my body was full of wonder as I looked at him, and I was sure the question was, 'why is he here?' was printed all over my face.What’s going on? Why is he here? Why is he in front of me? Why is he in front of me in this situation?“Hendrix?” I utter hoarsely.After seeing his face, my tears came back to my eyes; I felt again the pain in my back from sitting for over five hours and the hunger I was feeling. Most of all, the hope may be that the proposal was from Lance.I couldn’t make a mistake in my gaze; I’ve been looking at his face for a few seconds, and his appearance hasn’t changed. I also couldn’t be hallucinating because there was no reason why I should see him in my mind. I never thought about him after our last encounter.Why is he here? Why isn’t the person I expected and waited for here? Why isn’t Lance in front of me now? Where is he?
