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. š„¹
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! š„¹šš š„¹ššš
CELINEās POV-After I fixed myself, I left the mansion and hailed a taxi that came into my view. I right away told the taxi driver to take me to Rodeo drive.I will buy my husband Lance a present. Today is our third year anniversary. I felt that he might be busy this whole day and there is a possibility that he will come home late, but I still want to celebrate our wedding anniversary even if itās simple and there is a possibility that we can celebrate it late.After I finish buying a gift for him, I plan to cook him his favorite food.Lance and I, our marriage, was an arranged marriage. Prior to our marriage, I had no knowledge of him except his name and the extent of his impact on various matters. After all, he is a businessperson and a mafia boss. When I initially discovered Lanceās involvement in the mafia, fear overwhelmed me. I donāt know much about the mafia thing. The only thing I am aware of is that they are dangerous individuals. But at that point, my love for Lance prevai
CELINEās POV-While waiting at the said restaurant where I will be waiting for my parents here in the private room, I also ordered some food.I took several deep breaths until I felt hurt. Only then did I notice I hurt my forearm from scratching.I was too tense about the reason my parents wanted to meet me, which is why I didnāt notice I started scratching on my forearm that led to me hurting myself again.I took a band-aid and covered the wound on my forearm. Soon, my parents arrived just in time with the server who brought the food I ordered for them. An appetizer of garlic bread and mushroom soup and the main menu of pasta, chicken, and pizza. I order for two people since I donāt plan to eat either.After the food was served and the server left, my parents said what they needed.āWe need five million dollars,ā my mother began.I silently rested deeply. I knew they needed money from me, but I didnāt expect that they needed this much money from me this time.āBut mom, I donāt have
CELINEās POV-āWe are not asking for your decision, Celine.ā My mother said firmly. āWe are only informing you about this matter. The new billionaire we found for you is just waiting for you to divorce Lance and he is ready to marry you right away.āI feel pain in my eyes and a mass teardrop on both sides of my eyes. An overwhelming sense of fear grips me as I contemplate the actions they might take, knowing that their desires could be advantageous to them in Lance and my situation.āAnd I also donāt agree with what you want to happen.ā I said with all my voice.This is the first time I will disobey my parents. I can do almost everything they want but not to divorce my husband.Maybe Lance doesnāt love me yet, but that for three years, Lance hasnāt brought about divorcing me. I still hope that one day, Lance will love me and we can fix our marriage.āDonāt be ridiculous with your decision, Celine. We all know that Lance doesnāt love you, so what are you afraid of?ā My mom asked and h
CELINE POV - WITHOUT DELAY, I went to the OB as the doctor said and followed she said, which is why the OB doctor took care of me right away. Iām just waiting for my urine test and the blood test. I also had an ultrasound. āThis,ā the doctor pointed to a tiny dot. āThis tiny dot is called a gestational sac.ā āIs that my baby, doc?ā I ask without taking my eyes off the tiny dot shown by the ultrasound. āYes. The baby is not fully developed yet, so you wonāt hear a heartbeat. After six weeks to nine weeks of your pregnancy, you can return to see your baby for the first time.ā āI will, doc. I will return with the father of my child.ā āI will look forward to that.ā After all the tests and giving me the results, especially the picture of the ultrasound, the doctor gave me a prescription that I can take vitamins and the foods I should eat. āCongratulations, Mrs. Hart.ā āThank you.ā When I left the OB room, I was surprised to see my parents waiting outside. I thought they had gone
CELINEās POV-āCeline, what do you need from Hanna?ā Astrid asked me.āI just have something important to ask her.ā I answered, almost in a whisper.I saw in the rear-view mirror Astrid open her mouth, but she closed it and did not ask again. In the passenger seat, Christine turned to me and smiled. I returned her with a small smile, then I looked outside.After what happened last night with Lance, I havenāt talked to him again, nor have I been able to look at him until Iāve met Hanna.Hanna Matthew is Lanceās right hand or underboss in his organization. Hanna is often with Lance when Lance transacts in the underground. Also, Hanna once lived in the mansion we live in now. Hanna only left the mansion because of me. Hanna told me the one time I talked to her she knows her boundaries as Lanceās friend and that it is not good to see if she will stay in the mansion as her friend Lance is married.I was so hurt last night and felt bad for my baby. My baby is still in blood and growing, ye
CELINEās POV-While in the car, Astrid was unable to refrain from reacting to what happened earlier, even though she hadnāt yet inquired about the reason behind my actions.āOh, my gosh. My brain still canāt process what happened earlier.ā Astrid reacted again while driving. āBut if Hanna mentioned that she and Lance had an affair, I might be unable to restrain myself from reacting towards Hanna. Good thing she and Lance donāt have an affair.āāAstrid, just drive first. We might get into an accident if you donāt focus on the road.ā Christine disobeyed her. āYeah, we need to get to the restaurant so that we can find out all the details from Celine. Fasten your seatbelt.āAnd as usual, when Astrid said that, she sped up driving. What was supposed to be a half hour drive for us turned into only about ten minutes, including the parking.We went straight to the restaurant we often go to and because Christine reserved, someone assisted us to the VIP floor, which is on the second floor.āT
CELINEās POV-Christineās husband owns this mall. The security guard who let us in knew us, therefore Astrid was able to sneak a gun. Like Lance, Astrid, and Christine are also members of the mafia organization, which is why they are skilled in using guns and skilled in fighting.āThe next time I shoot this gun I will hit that bitch,ā Astrid threatened Lance without fear.āTry it, Astrid, and I wonāt hesitate to use all the bullets of my gun on you.ā Lance also threatened Astrid. āDonāt forget who youāre dealing with.āAstrid chuckled. āAn asshole and a bitch. I still havenāt forgotten who Iām dealing with.ā Astrid replied sarcastically.Fear is not really in Astridās vocabulary. Does she not understand that Lance is threatening him as a mafia boss.Before they exchanged gunfire, I approached Astrid.āAstrid, letās go.āAstrid looked at me in her disbelief, then lowered her hand holding the gun. āLeave? Why would you be afraid of what these two are doing?ā Astrid looked back at Lance
CELINEās POV-THE NEXT DAY, the driver assigned by Lance took me to the place where Freya and I would meet. I didnāt even tell anyone about this, especially Astrid, because she might do something else again. āPlease wait for me here or you can go around the mall first.ā I told the driver, then I handed him one thousand dollars to spend while waiting for me.āThank you, maāam. But I will not accept the money. I will just wait for you here in the basement parking lot.āāAre you sure?āāYes, maāam.āI nodded. āOkay, if thatās what you want.ā I then said to leave the driver alone. I canāt force him anymore and it might take a long time.Entering the mall as I expected, I could still enter after the chaos that happened yesterday. Freya was the one who decided where we would meet and she chose the same mall and the same restaurant yesterday where I first saw her with Lance.When I entered the restaurant, the same thing happened. I had no problem getting into the restaurant. Upon my arriva

CELINE POV-āWhy did you do this?āāI didnāt. I just saw that your carās tires were flat.āāDo you know how much perversion you have done?āāYour tire will be fixed right away. These people can take your car to wherever you are before the end of the day.āI glanced quickly at the two people Hendrix was referring to, then at him.What else can I do? I canāt 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.āWait a second,ā I told the two mechanics.I went to the passenger seat to get my kidsā bags. āLetās go, sweethearts. Our car needs to get fixed first.āSkye 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.āMummy, why did they take our car?ā Sunny ask
CELINE POV-As soon as Conrad got out of the elevator, Lance went inside.āB-Bossā¦āAs the elevator closed, Conrad looked my way. His eyes widened after he saw me.āMadame Celine,ā he called me in surprise as he came closer to me.āHmmm?ā I asked without opening my lips.I forced both ends of my lips to curve upwards while holding back tears.āHave you been here a while, Madame?āI opened my mouth. When I felt my voice getting hoarse, I took a deep breath before speaking. āYes. Before the elevator opened.āHe turned quickly to the elevator that Lance had taken and then immediately looked back at me.āDid you hear what Boss Lance said?āāWhy did you come here?ā I changed the subject.āHave you talked to Boss Lance?āI shook my head. āI donāt think we need to talk anymore. Iāve heard his reason.āāI think you need to talk to him,ā he handed me my car keys. āYour car is parked outside the building, Madame.āāThank you.āI followed Conradās gaze as he walked back to the front of the eleva
CELINE POV-āAre you sure of what you are saying?ā I asked her.āYes,ā she answered confidently. āConrad went to the restaurant to meet you there. He canāt call Sir Lance's phone either.āāConrad couldnāt call Lanceās phone number?ā I assured her.āYes.āIs it just a coincidence that Lanceās phone number couldnāt be called and he didnāt come?āCeline!āI looked at Sabrina in surprise after she yelled at me right in my face.āWhy?āāI 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; thatās why I didnāt open it. Because Conrad told me not to open the door if heās not the one outside. Iām not one hundred percent sure if itās Sir Lance because he has his back turned and seems to be talking to someone on the phone.āI assumed Lance had come here. Maybe something unexpected happened that made him not arrive?āCELINE!āI felt like I was going to be deafen
CELINE POV-Hendrix extended his palm. āShall we go in together?ā 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.āNo, thank you.ā 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 didnāt 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.āThe Ferris wheel is actually what you've wanted to ride the most since then.āI nodded without taking my gaze down. āThe 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- āI don't have time to joke around.āāLikewise,ā he said meagerly.I calmed my feelings down first. āYou wonāt hurt me, will you?āāNo,ā 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 didnāt have anything with me except the mini makeup kit in the purse I was carrying.āWhere are you taking me?āāTo my gift for you.āāGift?āāDonāt you accept late gifts?āāNo. Thatās not what I meant.āI didnāt explain anymore, and I didnāt open my mouth for a while.Iāll wait until we get to where he wants to go, so his nonsense can end.āWeāre almost where weāre going,ā I heard him say as I looked out the window.āāāāAbout ten minutes later, he stopped in front of an amusement park.āCome on!ā 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-āThank you,ā 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.āMaāam, wait!ā They exclaim at the same time.I stopped walking when they ran towards me.āI want to apologize again for what happened earlier,ā the woman regretfully said.āI also want to apologize for my negligence,ā the manager said and bowed his head.āDonāt think about that. Itās okay,ā I told them. āIs that all you want to say?āāAh, no.ā 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.āWhat is this for?ā I asked.āSir Hendrix Morgan left those. He asked me to give you the paper bag.āI returned the paper bag to the manager, but he didnāt take it.āGive it back to him,ā I stated.The manager took a deep breath. āIā¦ā then he exhaled, and his face was covered with worry. āIām sorry, maāam. If you give back to me, he war
CELINE POV-āYou should have let the woman kneel down earlier,ā my eyebrows furrowed at Hendrixās words. āOr you should have let her terminate her job.āIs that the kind of person he is? He likes seeing other people suffer? Didnāt he think about that personās situation? Maybe that personās job was too valuable to her. That person wouldnāt dare to lower her knee to the ground if she did not badly need the job.āDonāt judge me,ā he said, laughing.He read my thoughts?He faced me, he crossed his legs, and rested his elbow on the table. āSomeone like her needs to learn a lesson; she needs to pay for her mistakeāthatās all Iām saying. Itās 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 wouldnāt think and be glad that you were expecting someone, but then the wrong person would come in front of you? Right?ā He raised his pointed
CELINE POV-I couldnāt move from where I was standing as I turned to look at the man who uttered my name.My forehead wasnāt 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.Whatās going on? Why is he here? Why is he in front of me? Why is he in front of me in this situation?āHendrix?ā 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 couldnāt make a mistake in my gaze; Iāve been looking at his face for a few seconds, and his appearance hasnāt changed. I also couldnāt 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 isnāt the person I expected and waited for here? Why isnāt Lance in front of me now? Where is he?
