Celine's POV

If I were to consider Bryan's harsh behavior towards me, I would never feel any sort of sympathy towards him. He makes me feel like trash. 

He makes me feel like I am not wanted and my presence is not needed. If I had the power to decline this offer of being our son's nanny, I would have declined the offer just to spite him but I have no choice. I am the one in dire need, not him.

I cried so hard after Camilla told me everything about Bryan and his first love. I was trying to relate everything together, I was trying to justify all of his actions towards me and I was also trying to understand him and his silence.

I never knew he had been through so much. I thought he was ruthless because he wanted to but tonight, I realize he is this way because of the ugly realities of life.

I accepted his proposal to marry him, even when I knew he was into the Mafia but his first love didn't want to accept that part of him.

I examine the house from afar, glancing around and looking at the rooftop. This will be a great area for a sniper to kill Bryan.The only difficulty is that I don't know if he comes around there often. He is a workaholic and I doubt if he has leisure time.I look around once more, making sure my presence is not known to the guards at the gate before leaning back in the seat, taking off the seatbelt.This is looking more than I expected, I groan.Did he find out about my disguise? Why is the security suddenly rigid both within and out? The Bryan I have been studying for more than a year, even without knowing his physical appearance has been nonchalant about securit
