DELIA HERRERA POV "I want to raise a toast to Celine, for the success of her much-anticipated wedding. I wish you all the best moving forward" I said and everyone around the table clicked glasses including Belshar who I was seated beside. I'd met his gaze almost four times tonight and they didn't slide off me like they always did when he didn't know who I was or when he'd come for dinner at grandfather's so I was making some progress.Grandfather had retired for the night since his drugs required that he took a lot of rest and so it was just me, Enoch, Celine, Belshar, Kail, and their parents- Séda and Nessar- who looked like they were planning some sort of evil for the night.Belshar's family was overwhelming, especially Séda. I had tried to become acquainted with her on different occasions and she'd dismissed me rudely. She said there was something off about my energy but I knew it was bullshit. Séda was the type of woman who decided based on her mood whether to hate or like a per

CELINE HERRERA POV The last guests to leave were Enoch, Delia, and Bella and I couldn't help but feel skeptical when I saw Delia and Bella conversing beside their parked cars.I stood at the door, my gaze fixed on them and then Bella looked up, our gaze clashing but she didn't look as if she'd been caught doing something wrong, instead, Bella smiled and waved at me before her attention turned back to Delia, then Delia also glanced in my direction and glared, the dead look in her eyes making feel uncomfortable.I made to head back inside when Enoch stepped out of the car and started to walk in my direction with an uncertain look on his face. In his left hand was a small parcel that was wrapped in a shiny red wrap. He smiled as he reached me, took my hand, and placed the box in it, then scratched the back of his ear, his gaze fixated on the box in my hand as I looked it over."I forgot to give this to you earlier. It's a wedding gift" he said and I glanced up to meet his eyes."Are yo

DELIA HERRERA POV *******"What did you drop into her drink? And don't even try to deny it, we both know I caught you redheaded" I said and Bella just stared at me, then her eyes widened then she smiled as if she'd just realized what it was I was talking about."Oh, you are talking about earlier. It was just a relaxative. Celine told me that she was feeling a bit nervous so I gave her the pill to calm down" Bella explained and I scoffed. "You must think I am pretty stupid, don't you? Celine never asked you for anything besides you put the drug in her drinks when you thought that no one was looking at you"Bella crossed her arms, her gaze moving to the front door of the house where Celine stood staring at the both of us, then she smiled and waved before turning her gaze back to me. "And what if I did put something in her drinks... You saw me and yet refused to speak up, doesn't that make you an accomplice to my crime""I kept quiet because I don't care if Celine gets drugged or not"

CELINE HERRERA POV "Miss Celine" Karen called, her hands tapping on my desk and my gaze snapped to hers as I forced myself to recall what we had been talking about. "Are you sure you're ok? Your focus seems a bit off today" she pointed out and I just stared at her."I didn't sleep well," I told her but I was sure she could already tell from the dark circles beneath my eyes that I hadn't."You shouldn't have come back to work so early. I mean you were recently married. We all thought you were going to take a month off at the least" I waved her words away, as I glanced down at the files in front of me. "I will not neglect my work just because I'm married Karen. Besides, Belshar is cool with this. He loves me working" I told her and forced a smile to accompany the lie. "Then why didn't you sleep well? I know your exhaustion is not due to sexual activities" she said and I watched as color rushed to her cheek, she also couldn't meet my gaze. "You look tired and you have been spacing ou

CELINE HERRERA POV I felt sick and as I walked with my head held up high so that no one would know that I was sick, I hurriedly made my way to the parking lot. It was only once I got there and saw my car did I allowed the pain of what I was feeling to show on my face. The sickness had started all of a sudden, one minute, I'd been perfectly fine and the next, it was as if I was going to die which was why I had no choice but to leave work early and go back home."You didn't give me an answer last night" Enoch's voice startled me and I turned around to face him, my gaze moving involuntarily through the empty parking lot before landing back on him. He smiled as I met his gaze then stepped toward me, but stopped some steps from me as he noticed me take a step back."What are you doing here" I asked, forcing my voice to sound steady and he tilted his head, then scratched behind his neck before his hands dropped at his sides."I came to check out the company that might one day be Delia's.

BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV.PAST ********Selene! Her name was a wail in my chest as I drove manically towards G&H cooperation. Stone had finally managed to track her call and as the sky rumbled above with a sense of danger I couldn't help but feel like I was already late.Once I got to the company building, I rushed out of the car and then made my way to where she was.The sight made my heart freeze in my chest and the feeling was suffocating as I made my way to where she was laid on the stroller that my men had brought, the doctor beside her trying his best to save her.I got to her side and her eyes moved in my direction as if she'd been waiting for me. I stepped closer, my eyes taking in everywhere blood dripped from her pale skin. I grabbed her cold hand and cradled her head with a shaky hand to press a kiss to her forehead.The back of her head was wet and I could feel her blood coating my finger as I caressed her hair.She clutched my hand tightly and I could see her struggling

BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV Celine blinked her eyes open and I glanced up from the book I was reading. Keeping my gaze on her to see what she would do next, I took off my glasses and placed them on the table beside me.Celine sat up with a wince, then stared directly ahead for a few seconds before lifting her hand to press and rub two fingers against both sides of her head."Ugh, that hurts," she muttered to herself, then turned to get up from the bed and froze when she met my gaze. I could see as her walls came up and her blue eyes lost some of their color. "Belshar" she called tentatively as if she didn't believe that I was there. I crossed my arms and tilted my head to peer at her. Her hands dropped to her side and I watched as she fidgeted where she sat under my intense scrutiny. "You fainted," I stated, and her eyes widened, then got bigger, and then she was on her feet in an instant, her pale skin becoming whiter, and I wondered just how it'd look when blood rushed through them,

CELINE HERRERA POV "Let go of me!" I yelled as he dragged me from the room, but just like before, when he'd carried me to the car, there was no stopping him, and my heart began to pound in my chest. "I said to let go," I screamed, and he glanced at me with a warning in his eye as if he was telling a tantrum-throwing toddler to shush and then proceeded to drag me along. The room he was heading for loomed ahead in front of me and just the door had me renewing my struggles in earnest. What the hell was he going to do, was he going to lock me up or keep me in the dark until I broke down and told him the whole truth? Was this some sort of white room torture? There was no way he could be that cruel.He fucking killed a man just some hours ago, so what the hell was I saying. He could kill me and no one would even know it. No one cared about me anyway so who was going to report me missing?I started struggling again, and I was almost tempted to start screaming for help, but I knew there wo

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

CELINE HERRERA POV "I'm so glad you are here Grandma. I thought you wouldn't make it" Grandma held my face In her hand, a smile on her face. "I would travel over the seven seas just to celebrate you, my child.""Aww, that is so Sweet. I am so sorry for the stress though. It must have been exhausting for you""You don't have to apologize. 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
