Bryan's POV

I groan in pain as I flutter my eyes open sharply. I look around, trying to recall what happened last night and how I got into bed.

I shut my eyes and groan again before sitting up sharply and placing my feet down on the pompom rug beside my bed.

I wonder why I feel pain all over me and why I feel feverish. I glance beside me and I see my bandaged hand then it clicks in my head and everything comes rushing.

I remember everything; Camilla, the whole content of the alcoholic drink I gulp down my throat within five minutes, Celine and Camilla's presence, and Celine treating me before laying me on the bed to sleep after giving me a pill.

I squeeze my eyes shut as I feel the agony again. My heart is contrasting in pain and betrayal. I feel lost and stupid for not confiding in Helena before she died. I should have told her the truth so she would forgive me.

    Bryan's POVWork was more than I expected it to be today. The deal with the Chinese investors has been successfully signed and I feel proud of myself more than anything else. I am going to own a factory soon.But I couldn't let myself sink and bask in the overwhelming feeling of my achievement today because of my guilt. I left work with a mixed feeling; I want to be happy about today's achievement and at the same time, I want to wallow in self-pity for betraying Helena.I wish she was alive to hear me out and find out the truth by herself. I wish I told her this myself. I wish I can explain what happened and what led to my unfaithfulness but she is gone, I can't explain anything to her. She will neither hear nor see me suffering. No matter how hard I am on myself and others for betraying her, nothing can be done about it. The deed has been done.I exhale deeply as I take the staircase to my bedroom.

    Celine's POVI thought I was dreaming when I heard Bryan's voice and it made me flicker my eyes open in shock. I was shocked by the fact that he has my number and he is also calling me. I sit upright with a pounding heart, realizing that my sleep has vanished into thin air. Jason spends more time with Lizzy these days, giving me more time to rest and sleep all I want. I hadn't had a good sleep since I woke up this morning to help Bryan get his dress ready when I realized I was late. I found out he was already gone so I went back to my room, hoping he won't fight me for that. I haven't slept since morning and I was sleeping before he called me.With haste, I climb down from the bed, wear my shoes and walk out of the room. Bryan barely comes into my room these days to check up on Jason, I guess it's because he is very busy and he sees Jason outside with Lizzy most of the time, thereby giving me enough freedom and assurance that I can't be caught sleeping on Jason's bed.I wonder why

    Bryan's POV I flutter my eyes open with a groan. I look around trying to recall how I fell asleep last night. What happened last night? The memories come rushing. I had called Celine in to massage me because I wanted to punish her but it turned out that the punishment worked to my benefit. The benefit of making me relaxed from the stress of the day and sleeping off without knowing. I slept soundly like a baby. I sigh. Everything still hurts me. Camilla, Celine, Emily, and Eric. They all hurt me. I am still finding it very hard to forgive them all. I have learned not to trust anyone anymore and it is making it very difficult to forgive and forget every single person that offends me. Camilla and Celine accepted their mistakes and apologized but I still haven't found a place in my heart to forgive them. What Camilla did is nowhere compared to what Celine did. What Celine did is the worst and unforgivable. I feel Camilla didn't tell me because she cared about me, she didn't w
