CELINE HERRERA POV

Everything was in chaos. Grandfather was dead and Delia had committed suicide. She'd driven off a cliff. The car had caught on fire when it crashed, and it was so bad that there was almost nothing left of her.

Her suicide note was on the news for all to see. I wasn't surprised to hear that she blamed me for everything that happened to her. She told the world I bullied her to death because Grandfather gave her the company instead of me. She also claimed that I stole her husband and caused her divorce.

Belshar had been supportive, and while I was at the hospital, he helped me with both Delia's and grandfather's burials.

Delia's suicide note caused quite an uproar but not in the way I expected. I thought people would point fingers and blame me, but they actually came to my defense. Then evidence of every vile thing that she'd ever done started to be uploaded online.

People she'd bullied had a lot to say about her, then it was followed by the company board members br

    XAVIER POV "We should attack Belshar now. Celine is in the hospital, His mother is dead and Kail is probably dead too. If there was ever a time to strike, I think this is it"I crossed my arms. "You are wrong Persephone. Belshar was behind what happened to Séda. As for Kail, there is no sure information on him yet" I murmured, rubbing on my chin and wondering why Belshar was such a fucking enigma. Belshar had made it seem that Séda died of natural cause and that his brother Kail had been sent to Vratia but he had to know that every syndicate was going to find out about what truly happened.Such news would only make people fear him more. To them, he would be invincible. A man who wipes out his own family, surely had nothing to lose; that was what they would think. Belshar had no weakness, except for Celine. And he had her under watch twenty-four seven.Persephone hands on my shoulder made me glance at her. "Your problem is you think too hard. You do not make quick decisions. You are

    CELINE HERRERA POV "I didn't kill Bella, Celine. You have to believe me. Delia was behind everything and now she's trying to frame me for it" I crossed my arms and stared at her. "What evidence do you have," I asked. "Delia is dead. What if you're just making all these up because you know she's not here to defend herself? Bella's pearl necklace was found in your house. Your cousin's body was also found. You had him In pieces" Julie groaned, her red-rimmed eyes feeling up with tears. "God, don't remind me. I still can't bear to picture it" she choked out, then shook her head as if doing so was going to get the image out of her head."I didn't kill Zyaine, Celine. Delia killed him and now she's faked her death just to get away with everything she's done"I shook my head and let out a frustrated sigh. "This is getting us nowhere Julie. It's your word against a dead person. What do you think is going to happen? No one is going to believe that Delia was involved in this. She is dead and

    CELINE HERRERA POVI didn't want to help Julie. I wanted her to pay for her crimes. Also, I could tell that despite her apologies, she was not remorseful about what she did. The only reason she was saying sorry was because she got caught.Letting out an exasperated sigh, I met her gaze squarely. "Fine, I will help you out, but that does not mean you are going to get away with what you did. You are going to pay for all the crimes you committed" "I will take whatever..."I cut her off. "I will help you get a lawyer. You have to say the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If you do, then you will get a lighter sentence. I'll also try to look for evidence that can help you get out of the murder charges. If there's really a video, we might be able to get a copy if we find your missing phone"Julie shook her head. "The only other person I can think of who has the video is Kail. I sent it to him myself... Delia probably had my phone stolen. Even if we comb the whole city for it, I am cer

    DELIA HERRERA POV I gasped awake, my eyes flying open. Fuck. Was I alive? I sat up, my bleary eyes taking in the room I was in. I flexed my wrist, then wriggled my toes. There was no pain and everything was working as it should, which was fucking weird."What the hell happened to me" I whispered, because try as I might, I couldn't recall what happened after the car malfunctioned... I could still remember the fear that had plagued me when I thought I was going to die... Then it all went dark after that.I glanced around the room I was in. It looked cozy but a bit luxurious. Thick curtains were covering the windows and if it wasn't the light, the whole room would have been flooded in darkness. I was all alone in the room. Jason had been the last voice I heard before everything went blank, so was he here? He had to be."Jason" I called tentatively, my voice carrying eerily Into the room. Did our plan work out? I was still alive so I guess that counted for something. Maybe Jason was in

    CELINE HERRERA POV "You have ten minutes" I got out as I took in the condition of David. He was chained to the wall and seemed to be in a great deal of pain. He'd had bruises before but Belshar had punched him a few times, so he had new ones. "Tell me why you came here. What's going on" I asked.David groaned, his hand flexing against the cuffs. I shouldn't feel sorry for him but I did. There was nothing I could do to ease his suffering though. Also, we didn't know if he was here on Xavier's behalf to spy on us or if he was by himself.The only reason he wasn't dead was because of me. Belshar had wanted to kill him but stopped after I urged and begged him to spare him, so he was chained up instead."So you got your memory back" he got out choosing to ignore my question. I stepped closer to him. "Yes I did. Xavier gave me the scar on my head. He tried to kill me"."He never meant to, plus you pissed him off and Xavier's never been good with channeling his emotions" "I'm sure you're

    DELIA HERRERA POV Jason pressed his lips against mine, his tongue invading my mouth like he had a right to. Chains clanked above and below as I struggled to get away from him.Groaning in frustration, I bit down hard on his tongue and he growled against my lips. He didn't stop kissing me though, instead, he gripped at my neck harder, so hard that I couldn't get in a lick of air. He devoured my lips while I struggled, my chest tightening as I ran out of Oxygen. I thrashed underneath him and tried to move my head to the side to be able to breathe a little, but I couldn't. Fear slithered up my spine as darkness crept at the edge of my vision. I was going to fucking die like this. My chest burned fiercely and the darkness became more pronounced.The rush of air into my starved lungs made me choke, the feeling of breathing a bit foreign. I coughed as his grip on my neck loosened, and then I lay there for a few seconds just gasping for air while he watched me.I wanted to curl in on mys

    DELIA HERRERA POV I gasped awake, but it was to horrible pain. I'd passed out last night as Jason had his way with me, so I was a bit disoriented. My eyesight was fuzzy but I could tell that I was still in the same room.I was lying on my front. Naked. Tears fucking filled my eyes. I pressed my face into the bed, groaning as memories of the night before flashed in my head. I didn't want to remember what happened but the pain that shot through every inch of me even at the slightest move made me recall everything in horrid detail. "Stay still, Delia" Jason warned and his voice made me flinch. I had thought that I was alone but he was still with me. Fear slithered up my spine as I turned my head in the direction his voice had come from. Our gaze crashed and my heart took a nosedive.He was seated by the edge of the bed, wiping my back with a wet towel. "I am sorry about last night" he got out, his hand stilling on my back.

    CELINE HERRERA POV Speaking with David was draining and as I stepped out of the shower to dress up, I couldn't help but worry that if he kept being stubborn, Belshar was going to kill him.I glanced at the lingerie I was considering putting on tonight, then shook my head."Belshar might think I'm seducing him to spare David's life," I said and put on my panties. My ears perked up as I heard the front door opening. I was still very much naked except for the panties I was wearing and he was getting closer.Left with no choice but to stay naked, I quickly picked the lingerie, carefully got it over my head, and let it drop over my body. The door opened immediately after and I froze as Belshar's eyes met mine.He stopped, his gaze taking me in and making my skin prickle with awareness. I couldn't help but fidget. "I was going to get dressed for dinner but then I heard you coming in, so I..." I faltered as he smirked."You should have just stayed naked," he said, the lust in his eyes gla

    CELINE HERRERA POV The shot was a warning and Delia flinched, getting distracted for a second, but that was all I needed. I shoved at her hard and she fell to the floor, a gasp escaping her lips. The gun skidded out of her hold and she crawled after it. I got it before she could, then I kicked her in the face with my leg. She grunted, her head smacking against the hard concrete. She slumped to the floor, blood seeping out of the cut on her head. The cops lying in wait all rushed up to the roof, then they swooped in and grabbed her by the arms, handcuffed her hand, and dragged her to her feet. Delia looked around wildly as her shock wore off, and then her gaze met mine in disbelief. "How... How" she stuttered but I felt no pity for her. I'd always wanted her to pay for her crimes and now that it was happening, It felt like a breath of fresh air."It was pretty easy Delia. You are not as sly as you think you are" Once I was sure they had her secure, I walked toward her and wasn't s

I should be able to do this much after everything that happened" I frowned. "Didn't we say we were going to forget about that, Grandma?" "Oh right, we said that. I'm sorry, I keep forgetting about that. You look so beautiful by the way. You're so pretty, it's making me tear up" she said and I laughed "You're going to make me cry too, Grandma"She patted my head and then looked around. "Where is Belshar. Why isn't he here by your side? He's been gone for a while hasn't he""I'm sure he'll be back soon," I said, glancing around. The music suddenly got louder and the DJ encouraged everyone to get on the dance floor."See, he should be here with you.

    DELIA HERRERA POV Celine was smiling and moving through the crowd. She looked so happy that it made me sick. I watched as she spoke with some group of people, the happy smile on their faces making my fist clench. Bunch of people pleasers. I was sure most of them didn't even like her. They were all just pretending so that they could get something out of her. It had been annoying to find out that despite all the money I'd siphoned out of the company, she'd still managed to rebrand it and keep it running. Then she went on to change the name, erasing Herrera from it. She destroyed my very legacy. All the time that I suffered, she'd spent it in achieving great things and being happy with Belshar.Tremor racked through me all of a sudden and I swayed on my feet. My hand trembled and my body grew hot. I knew exactly what I needed. The darn pills that Zane had gotten me addicted to. Why hadn't I taken the stupid pills? I thought I could survive without them but now as I shook like I was c

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED The party was in full swing. My gaze stayed on Celine as she laughed and mingled with the guests, and I couldn't help but fall deeper in love with her. She was so damn perfect, she made my heart ache. As if attuned to my gaze, she glanced up and our gaze clashed. Her eyes brightened, then she blew me a kiss. I made a show of catching it then grinned as she grinned bashfully and put her hand over her heart.I mimicked her gesture and then gave a nod back. Celine's smile widened, but then she pressed her lips together and pointed with her chin that someone was behind me."Belshar" My expression hardened as I turned to face Kail. It was one thing that Celine had invited him to the party but that he was shameless enough to come was another. "Thanks for inviting me..." "Don't bother with that Kail, I didn't invite you. I am also sure you know how I feel about you being here. Didn't I warn you to stay out of my sight" He blanched, then stepped back. "I just wanted

    DELIA HERRERA POVZane was right about everything and I hated that he was. His words rang in my head, driving me Insane.Wanting to get rid of those voices In my head, I reached for the bottles of pills, my hands trembling as I uncapped them. I glanced inside it and noticed that there wasn't much left Inside. I frowned, wondering just how many I'd used up in two days, then recalled that each time I felt even the slightest discomfort, I'd drowned the pills as if they were the solution to all my problems... Maybe they were. I didn't feel as shitty when I was high on them.I picked out two of the pills and then stopped as I brought them to my mouth. Was I really going to do this too myself? Was I just going to watch everything crumble like dust around me?I couldn't. Throwing the pills away, I capped the bottle shut and got up from the bed.A quick shower helped to reduce the tremors in my hands and also helped clear my head."You are Delia Herrera, Delia," I told myself because it was

    DELIA HERRERA POV "You said you wanted to watch me kill Celine. It's been three days now and you still haven't told me how that's going to happen. Are you stalling because you're having second thoughts? You've also been spacing out lately. Are you thinking about her " I asked unable to keep it in.After the last sex we had on the day he arrived, he hadn't touched me and it was driving me Insane just thinking that it was because of Celine. It was infuriating and recalling his words about how he was going to let me kill Celine because he couldn't have her made it worse."Are you not going to answer me" Zane glanced at me from across the table then sighed, before flinging his spoon to the wall. "Can you stop? You're fucking ruining the romantic atmosphere, Delia" he growled but I was too pissed off to care about his anger."You're so fucking delusional. There's nothing romantic about this setting" I screamed then dragged my hand through my hair, before clutching at it tightly and pull

    CELINE HERRERA POV "I think I am going to take some time off work" I got out and Belshar's gaze jerked to mine in surprise as he stopped pacing.He'd been walking in circles for a while and at first I just thought he was agitated from excitement, he was, but he was also worrying and I could see it on his face.Belshar was damn perfect at hiding his emotions, so if he was so expressive this time, it meant he was really stressing over it."You are" he asked, his tone disbelieving. Deep down I knew he was throwing a fist in the air. "Are you sure about that" I gave a quick nod, then smiled. "Yes, I'm sure. I think Karen should handle things in the meantime. She's really the best at what she does. I'm sure she'll be able to handle things in the office without me, Besides, I feel like if I don't stop working, You're going to pace a hole into the ground" I joked, then narrowed my eyes "Tell me the truth, you were trying to come up with a reason to make me stop going to work, weren't you"

    CELINE HERRERA POV "Congratulations, Celine. You are approximately four weeks pregnant" the doctor announced and I jerked into a sitting position, my eyes widening as I looked from the doctor to Belshar whose jaw was literally on the floor.He'd stepped inside the room just in time to hear the news and It was a miracle that he didn't drop the glass of water he'd gone to get."I'm pregnant?" I asked dazedly.It was quiet for just a second and then Belshar threw a fist in the air. "Yes! That's what I am talking about" he grinned as he rushed at me and engulfed me in his strong arm, then he proceeded to pepper kisses all over my face while I struggled to shove him off. "Oh my god, Belshar" I groaned even as I laughed. "You're suffocating me" I got out and he quickly let go of me. "Are you alright? I didn't mean to hold you like that" he asked as he looked me over, worry written all over his face. "Will you cut it out? I am perfectly fine. Stop fussing already" "You're carrying a ba

    DELIA HERRERA POV "A present," I asked, my heart thudding hard against my ribcage. Zane nodded. "Yes, I did. " He said and pointed to the shopping bags he had dropped beside the bed. It wasn't what I was curious about but I forced a smile to my lips. I've learned that if I was patient enough with Zane, he would eventually tell me what I wanted to hear."Thank you so much, Zane," I said and picked them up, my hands trembling. Zane noticed it and my breath hitched in fear when he frowned. He grabbed hold of my hand and I held my breath, waiting for him to hurt me. "Have you been skipping out on your pills You're shaking so badly" I let out a gasp of air. "There are only two pills left and I didn't know what day it was. You've been gone for so long..." "I was gone only for a weak" I fidgeted. Had it really just been a weak? It felt so much longer. "You never let me go out of the house, so I can't tell how long it's been" "Are you saying you want to go outside""No of course not
