THANK YOU FOR READING! 😊💞💓💕
[ CHICAGO ]....CELINE POV-I widened my eyes at Sabrina when she looked at me again with a teasing smile. She shook her head while holding back her laughter.“What?” I mouthed without a voice.She shrugged her shoulders.I continued eating while focusing on my children who were eating alone.After we finished eating and brushing our teeth, we went outside.I was surprised to see Conrad standing outside and leaning against the wall, when he saw us he straightened his posture.I glanced at Sabrina and immediately saw her eyes roll after she saw Conrad. I just shook my head at her reaction.“Uncle Conrad, I miss you!” Sunny greeted him happily.Conrad smiled at Sunny. “I miss you too,” after he said that, his gaze went up to Sabrina.I held my mouth while holding back a smile and took a look at Sabrina. I will be the happiest for them if they end up together one day. I’m sure Conrad will take care of Sabrina.“Have you been here before?” I changed the subject before Sabrina could melt
CELINE POV-Lance didn’t give me a chance to breathe when he inserted his finger into mine. I was firmly gripped by the carpet. It hurt at first but he gave me time to bear the pain.“L-Lance…” I begged. I didn’t know how to tell him that he needed to take responsibility for the heat inside my body that I was feeling. On the other hand, it looked like I didn’t need to say it anymore when I saw the playful grin on his lips.I felt his finger move inside me until he found the right spot.I took another deep breath to try to swallow my moan but I couldn't. “Ooh, Lance!”He slowly moved his finger in and out, but soon his movements became faster. Once again, one of his hands landed on my chest and he rubbed it. My hands were shaking, not from fear, but from a mouth-watering, almost unbearable anticipation. Then it climbed, a rising tide of sensation, until my whole body was vibrating, humming with pleasure. He thrust deeper while kissing my clit.I can feel it. I felt the liquid build up
CELINE POV-“What?! Why?!” Sabrina query exaggeratedly. “I’m the one telling you the hairstylist’s suggestion is right for you.”I also like what they suggested, so that it can be changed. But, Lance likes my natural hair, so I don’t want to do any treatment for now.“Ow–what kind of smile is that? Why does your smile reach beyond the earth?”“Hmm?” I look at Sabrina. “No. You’re just looking at it wrong.”“No? Even when you talk, your lips are about to tear apart while you’re smiling.”“That’s just your imagination,” I said, then gazed in the mirror again. “Just trim, maybe not even five inches.”The hairstylist stroked my hair while smiling broadly at me in the mirror. “Your hair is natural, so I understand if you don't want to have it treated; plus, it seems like your hair has sentimental value that makes you Duchene smile.”I tried not to let the smile on my lips fade again lest I become too obvious.––––After over four hours, we finally finished going to the salon.We spent a lo
LANCE POV-“What do you both need?” I asked the two people directly in front of me.“What is right for me, and for my son, ” Uncle Philip answered.A teasing smile spread across my lips. They want to reclaim what is not theirs, the company that my parents founded and the organization that was run by my father’s grandparents, my father, and my half-brother that he gave me. I can’t count how many times they’ve tried to take it from me, even working with other organizations, but not once have they ever claimed it from me.All the property left to me is about to be transferred to my name, so here they are again, causing trouble. I can’t give them what my parents left for me and my half-brother. They chose to give it to me because they knew I could take better care of it, which I have done and proven to everyone.“All the money and property left by my brother and our father should go to the real Ladezma. And what is your last name again?”“And to whom did my father and grandmother leave th
HENDRIX MORGAN POV-As soon as I entered the mansion, I found out Lucian was here because we had an important guest coming. I wasted no time and went straight to his room. I knocked on his bedroom door several times, but he wouldn’t open it. I had to call Butler Leo and order him to get the duplicate key, and he arrived a few moments later with what I ordered.“What’s the problem?” Butler Leo invoked as he handed over the duplicate key.“Nothing. Leave.”“But, Master—”“We’ll talk after I finish talking to my brother. Now, leave!”I caught a sharp look at Butler Leo, who understood he shouldn’t interfere this time.He bowed his head in respect. “I understand, Master.”He also had a lot to tell and explain to me. When we came back to New York, he was the one Lucian was with the most and was the only one who knew about the stupidity Lucian had done.After unlocking Lucian’s room door, I went in and saw he had just finished talking to someone on the other line of his phone.“What do you
CELINE POV-“Do we really need to—”“Shut up.” Sabrina stopped me from talking again.After dropping off my children earlier, we went home, and Sabrina ordered me to take a shower again, which I did. As I left the bathroom, she dragged me to the living room where she had set up a make-up studio. There were lighting, mirrors, and other tools.I still can’t imagine how Sabrina was able to set up like this in almost an hour knowing she was slow to move.She finished blow-drying my hair, and now she started doing my makeup after she prepped my face.“I don’t have anything planned for today,” I said. “Maybe, let’s just eat in a restaurant?” I asked her.“I’m busy today,” she replied. “Close your eyes.”“Then, I’ll just cook?”Sabrina narrowed her eyes on me. “Close your eyes,” she ordered.I close my eyes first.It’s my day, just like Sabrina said. Today is my birthday, but I don’t feel any excitement or anything special; it just feels like an ordinary day. All that matters to me is being
SABRINA RODRIGUEZ POV-It’s so annoying to see Conrad’s face. I don’t want to see his face anymore, and yet it seems like fate is still working for us to meet over something small. Every time I glimpse his face, I think about how stupid I am. I don’t understand why the way he treats me and is concerned more than a friend; he has another woman he likes and no one else but his friend Hannah.When he learned Hannah was in the hospital, he couldn’t rest, especially since he couldn’t call her. He almost turned his suite room upside down and only calmed down after talking to Hannah. Only then did he realize he didn’t mean to yell at me, and then he apologized for doing that.I get it; he was worried about Hannah. I get that person was a friend—but his worry; it’s different. There’s something he’s hiding. It can be seen and felt that his worry and anxiety that day were more than a friend. That’s not what I hate about him, but how he treats me is what’s annoying. I feel like he made me reboun
CELINE POV-Here’s my tear again while looking around. I smile and quickly wipe away the teardrop before it even falls down my cheek.I was taken to a high-end and exclusive restaurant where Lance rented the entire building. It was quite far from the hotel, which took more than an hour to travel.When I looked around again I smiled. The only light at this time was the scented candles that each table had. What made the ambiance even finer was the night view from where I was sitting overlooking the bright city lights outside the glass wall. Each table had a single red rose flower and on my table there was a bouquet of red roses.The surroundings were quiet until my attention was caught by a server who went to three tables and replaced the scented candles there. She checked on me and smiled at me.“Ma’am, would you like us to serve food for you? We have an appetizer ready for you.”“No,” I refused. I coughed softly because I felt my throat tighten and dry. “Can I have a glass of water?”
• • • • • ( 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
