One week later.Lorenzo's POV Today's the day. Today is the D-day.It's my father's wedding to Lora. Luke and I had flown in this morning and we are now seated in the huge church. My father is at the altar with the minister by his side. I can't believe I'm watching him get remarried. That trust fund money better be worth this."What in the world are those?" Luke says in a very disgusted voice.I look to the side and see what exactly had put that tone into Luke's voice. It's the bridesmaids. In very hideous dresses. The kind that looks like a rainbow threw up on it and then ran over it with a car before dumping it in the sewers. Dear God. What did Lora do to these poor ladies?I'm still distracted by the horrendous gowns when Celestine walks in but my breathing stops and my heart starts beating faster. Damn it. What is wrong with me? I'm not supposed to be feeling this way. I'm meant to be boiling with blind rage at seeing her face not wondering if I'm going to have a heart attack.An
Eve's POVSome creep keeps staring at me. And it's starting to get on my nerves. I need to get a breather.I excuse myself from the table I'm seated at and head out to the patio outside. Sighing, I lean against the railing and stare up at the night sky."Excuse me."I turn around and come face to face with the creep that has been staring at me for a while now. I'm an idiot. Why did I think it would be a good idea to leave a populated place and come out to a secluded space? Especially when I know that there's a creep trailing me. Now, we're caged in this tiny space and the only exit is behind him.My heart pounds fastly in my chest. Is this how I die?"Hey. I'm Luke. I was hoping to have a word with you," he says in a deep smooth voice.For a creep, I've to admit that he makes a hot one. His brown hair is sleek back and his amber eyes shine in the low light. His suit hugs his body tightly, showcasing his ripped arms. He would make a very hot killer, but that doesn't mean I want to die
Luke's POVCelestine's friend is standing outside the restroom when I get there. She sees me and then meets me halfway."Is Lorenzo in there?" she asks, pointing to the closed door."Yes. I called him and told him that I had to tell him something." He had agreed to meet me in the restroom without any questions. In fact, it had been too easy. "Is Celestine in there?""Yeah. She went in a while ago." She looks at the door and then at me again. "Do you think they are talking?""I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see." I lean on the wall behind me and cross my arm, taking a good look at Celestine's friend. "I didn't quite catch your name earlier.""It's Eve," she says with a little smile on her face."Eve," I mouth, testing out the name on my tongue. "I like it." A tiny blush appears on her cheeks and the realization that I've made her flutter brings a smile to my face.Just as I'm about to speak again, the restroom door opens with a bang and Lorenzo walks out with his face scrunch
A few days later.Celestine's POV.I'm back where I started. All my hard work and dedication that I had put into pulling myself out of this sad place have all gone down the drain. All because I had seen Lorenzo. I can still see the hate in his eyes when he looked at me. I didn't expect anything other than that though. After all, I had left him alone and ignored every attempt to reach out to me. I deserve that hatred and more.He didn't even say anything to me. He had just looked through me like I didn't exist and somehow that hurt more than any hurtful words could. I would have preferred if he had hailed accusations and curses at me instead of keeping mute."Celestine." Two swift knocks sound at my door. "I'm coming in." The sound of the door opening pierced into the otherwise silent room.I should have locked that door when I had the chance."I guess we're back to hiding in darkness." Eve flips the switch and bright light pours in. "You're better than this, Celestine." She sighs and
Celestine's POV I'm seated on the plane and pondering over whether I should book another flight back to school as soon as I get to the united states. The only thing stopping me is that I know Eve will literally skin me alive if she found out that I didn't go through with this.That's how I find myself hailing a cab and reading out Lorenzo's address to the cab driver. My stalking is still paying off. It wasn't hard to find out the address that Lorenzo mostly threw his party at.Twenty minutes later and I'm standing in front of the door to that house. Oh, God. I'm doing this. I'm really going to go through with this. There's no turning back now. Though I could still catch a flight back to my school if I hurry back now.I shake my head to get rid of those cowardly thoughts. I'm not running away. I'm going to do this and if Lorenzo happens to slam the door in my face, I'm going to look for the nearest restroom to cry my eyes out in like the big girl that I am.I breathe in deeply throu
Celestine's POV "I want to know something." He cups my head, his fingers sinking into my hair as his eyes hold mine. "Why did you leave?" "Your father found out about us." ***It feels so good to finally say what I've been burying inside of me all this while. It feels so good to finally get it off my chest.Lorenzo's face falls at my words and he lowers me back onto the floor. "My father found out?" His fingers sink into his hair and he pulls on the end strands while looking scared out of his mind. "How? We were very careful." He runs his palms down his face. "How did he find out?""I have no idea how he found out." The only reasonable explanation I could come up with is that he might have caught us together at the house or he hired someone to watch Lorenzo. I'm leaning toward the latter."He didn't mention anything to me when he saw me last week." Lorenzo is now clutching his head in his hands. "Why didn't he say anything?"Probably because he is a sociopath who enjoys playing mi
Celestine's POV "You don't mean that." There's no way he's ready to throw away his future for me. Is he crazy? "I do." His eyes hold mine so I can see the hard promise in them. "I would give up everything if it means I could be with you." He cups my jaw and his thumbs graze against my cheeks. "Wouldn't you do the same for me?" The uncertainty in those beautiful green eyes squeezes at my chest. I snake my hands around his neck and rise to kiss him. When we are both breathless, I pull away and rest my forehead on his. "I would give up everything for you too."If there's anything I've learned in this past month, it would be that living without Lorenzo is hell on earth. So, I would rather experience that hell with Lorenzo by my side.I don't even want to think about how my mom will react if she found out about us, but I'm ready to face her if it means I could be with Lorenzo. I just pray that we aren't far over our heads with these delusions. I pray we'll actually be able to withstan
Lorenzo's POV Celestine is here. She's in my room and in my arms. This all seems like a dream. A dream I pray I don't ever wake up from.I push open the door to my room and hold it open for Celestine to enter. I watch her hip sway as she walks over to the chair in the room and dumps the clothes in her hands on it. She insisted on picking them up from the floor because she didn't want to give Luke the fright as soon as he walks into the house. With her back turned to me, I walk behind her while she's still distracted and grab her breasts. She squeals at the contact but relaxed once she realizes it's me.It's been so long since I last touched her but I still have every last inch of her sweet body because it is ingrained in my head. But I wouldn't mind refreshing those memories though.I let go of her breasts and place my palm on the small of her back, directing her to the bed. Celestine is compliant as I lay her on the king-size bed and lower my fully clothed body over hers. It's a c
Five years later.Lorenzo's POV"Daddy!" A tiny voice squeals and that's all the warning I get before I feel tiny hands grabbing at my trouser and tugging on them. "I missed you."I look down at my daughter's smile which is missing two front teeth, and pick her up, holding her on my hip. "Where is Mommy?" I ask, kissing her on her forehead."She's in the kitchen with Lucenzo," she answers, wrapping her arms around my neck and resting her head on my shoulder.I drop my car key into the bowl by the door and walk into the kitchen to see Celestine mixing a salad in a bowl. Lucenzo is seated on the countertop and dipping his hand into the bowl, stealing some of the vegetables and shoving them into his mouth. The whole scene gives off Deja Vu vibes. I'm reminded of the time that Celestine kept stealing carrots off the chopping board as I tried to make dinner."Daddy's home," my sweet little princess announces for me and two sets of blue eyes lift from the bowl and turn to face us.Lucenzo
One year later.Lorenzo's POVI'm scared of Celestine. Rather I'm scared of what she has become.It doesn't take much to tick her and make her go off. Last night, she started crying because she said I'm always hauling the covers all to myself. She didn't stop even after I gave up the whole thing to her.But this will all be over soon because her due date is two days from today. Then the baby inside of her will be out and Celestine will become my sweet little girl again. The one that doesn't snap at me because she says she hates the way my footsteps sound. They weren't even that loud!"Lorenzo, I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier," Celestine says from where she's nested under my hand as we watch the vampire diaries series."It's ok. You didn't mean to." I reach down and rub her stomach bump that peeks out of the shirt she wore. Despite Celestine's grumpy nature, I have to admit that pregnancy looks good on her, and seeing her waddle around the house with a baby bump has been the reason
A year later.Lorenzo's POV I press Celestine's face into the bed as I slide deeper into her ass hole."Lorenzo," she moans, trying to pull away from me but my hand on her waist holds her back.I slide my hand from her stomach down her body and push the dildo deeper into her pussy."Oh, God." She fists the covers and pushes her ass back.Sliding out of her asshole until only the tip of my dick is left inside, I look down at her and nearly come as I see both her holes squeezing around the dildo and my cock. "Fuck," I whisper, my breath caught in my throat. "You look so beautiful right now with both your holes filled.I'm definitely going to be drawing this image later.Focusing back on the tasks at hand, mainly on how to make Celestine accept my proposal.I fist her hair and pull her back until her back is pressed against my chest with only our knees on the bed. "So is your answer still no?" I whisper the question into her ear."It's a waste of money, Lorenzo." She rushes out, her wor
Five years laterLorenzo's POV I'm not going to lie and say that these past few years weren't the hardest years of my life. There were. And there were times when I felt like giving up and calling it quit. Times when I felt like going back and groveling at my father's feet for his forgiveness. But anytime I felt that way, all I just had to do was look beside me and stare at Celestine, and wonder if I'm willing to give her away.The answer was always no. Every single time.Now, I'm glad as fuck that I didn't give up. Because I wouldn't be here if I did. I would have been locked away in an office, running a company I didn't want.“This is insane.” Celestine spins around the gallery, her hands stretched out. She bumps into a lady passing and I can't help but chuckle as she mumbles an apology and walks back to me. “I can’t believe this." She looks around. "I’m seeing your work on the wall, in a real show.” She beams at me. "I'm so proud of you."I'm proud of us. Celestine finished her s
Celestine's POV I slip back into the house and immediately head for the stairs. Making sure my footsteps are light, I rush into my room and move to my wardrobe, throwing the doors open. I reach for a suitcase, the biggest one I can find, and throw it onto my bed.Opening it, I start throwing clothes inside. I'm not even looking at what I'm putting into it. I'm just shoving whatever I can grab into it. Next, I head into the bathroom, putting all my toiletries into a small bag which is then shoved into the suitcase. I open my drawer and reach for some cash I had in there. We'll definitely be needing it.Just as I'm about to close the drawer, something sparkling catches my eyes. It's the ring. The ring Lorenzo gave to me. I had shoved it into this drawer as soon as I got back home. I couldn't let his father or my mom see me wearing it so I kept it locked away. Not anymore.Reaching for the ring, I tilt it to the light to see the engravement that has taken over my heart, 'allow me to te
Celestine's POV Tiptoeing down the stairs, I glance behind me to see if I have been compromised.I'm still in the clear. None of the parents heard me leaving my room. I slip out the front door, close it softly behind me, and run out of the property.Frantically, I spin around in a circle, looking for Lorenzo. I can't find him, and just as the tears start welling up in my eyes again, I see a figure hidden in the shadows away from the streetlights.Squeezing my eyes, I try to make out the figure as the person inches closer. It's Lorenzo. I would recognize those shoulders anywhere.Running towards the figure, I wrap my hand around him. "I missed you." I press my face into his chest, inhaling his scent to try and calm my racing heart.Lorenzo's hands also wrap around me. "I missed you too," he whispers into my hair. "I'm sorry I got us caught. Has he told your Mother?""I don't think so. And it wasn't your fault that we got caught. Don't blame yourself." We were both kissing each other.
Celestine POV"You didn't do it for me." Lorenzo lets go of my hand and walks forward. "And you're wrong about me being over her. I didn't forget about her. She's still all I can think about because that girl that you texted was Celestine."It's like a ball has been dropped on the court. The drop of a pin could be heard in this deafening silence. Cade breaks it by speaking. "Celestine was that girl? How's that even possible? Coincidences like that don't happen.""It's possible because you didn't even think to check out who the girl was. You were so fixated on ruining my life that you didn't even bother to look at the picture of her." Lorenzo is visibly shaking and his hands are clenched into tight fists.Cade rolls his eyes heavenwards. "What are you talking about? Ruined your life?" He scoffs. "I sent her a little text message that wasn't even up to three lines. I don't see how that ruined your life."I can't believe I'm hearing this. He has no remorse for what he did. He doesn't se
Celestine's POV"What the hell is going on here?!" A loud thunderous voice booms from behind us.Lorenzo quickly moves away from me but it's already too late because Cade is standing at the entrance of the kitchen with his face a shade of bright red. He had seen everything.He wasn't supposed to be home at this time. What is he doing here?"Did you two think you could fool me?" He drops his suitcase to the floor and walks over to where we are, standing in front of us. "Do you think I'm an idiot? I knew you two would try to go behind my back but I held out hope thinking that you would both do the sensible thing." He scoffs. "At the end of the day, you're just two idiots ready to throw away their future. And for what? Sex!" His face is a shade darker now and spit flies out with his words."Watch your tongue. Don't talk to Celestine in that manner." Lorenzo stands in front of me, shielding me from Cade's harsh words. I try to pull him back away to his previous position beside me but he s
Celestine's POV My phone rings. I pick it up and look at the caller ID. It's Eve.Answering the call, I place it against my ear. "Hello," Eve says as a way of greeting."Hey," I answer, getting comfortable on the bed with a pillow under my arm. It's been three days since I came home. Meaning Eve should have gone home now. "Are you back home?""Yeah. Got here yesterday." A heavy sigh. "I don't know why I'm made to come here every year. She's never home."I rise a bit, sitting up straighter. "Have you seen her since you got back?" I know the answer to that question but I ask anyways."No, I haven't." Another heavy sigh. "Can't wait for when I'm done with school and don't need to be coming here again.""You want to hang out?" I offer. I don't mind going out to cheer her up."Nah, I'm good." I hear footsteps on hardwood, kind of like she's moving. "Enough about me. How are you two holding up there? Do you think his dad suspects something is going on?" The sound of a fridge opening flows
