DELIA HERRERA POV

"I have the video" Julie got out all of a sudden and I widened my eyes in shock as I let out a fake gasp.

Was she finally threatening me to my face... Did the murderous look in my eyes scare her to the point that she was no longer going to hide her deceit? Julie was fun.

"Oh my goodness" I slapped a hand to my mouth and leaned toward her. "You do? I am so scared right now. What the hell am I going to do? What if you release it to the press? I'll be ruined. I'll spend my life in prison. Please don't do it. Please don't..." I trailed off as she watched me.

Her brows furrowed as she looked at me and I burst out laughing, the look of distraught on her face comical.

"What are you..." She started to say and my hands crashed against her cheeks. Hard. Her head whipped to the side and I watched as she dazedly raised her hand to her cheek before she slowly turned her head in my direction.

"Wasn't the five billion enough, Julie? Are you so greedy that you are already trying

    CELINE HERRERA POV "I know how to shoot," I told Belshar as we stood at the shooting course. "I also know how some defensive tactics" "Did Xavier teach you while you were with him?" he asked, genuinely curious and I nodded. "You were always the target. Xavier hated your gut" He chuckled. "He knows I am going to kill him. That's why""He's been watching me... Watching us. You saw the pictures. He also sent you that note. He wants you dead Belshar"Belshar aimed at the target. "I am going to gouge out his eyes for daring to look in your direction. For making you afraid" he vowed and pulled the trigger. I watched as the bullet hit the target square in the forehead.Forcing myself not to bask too much in his masculine aura, I turned to face the target in front of me. I held my gun steady, took a deep breath, aimed, and pulled the trigger. I hit the target in the chest. It was exactly where I'd been aiming for. Feeling proud of myself, I lowered my gun, a grin tugging on my lips. I co

    KAIL NESSAR ABED "We are going to kill Belshar tonight," I told Séda as the last attendant stepped out of the room, leaving just the two of us. Séda admired herself in the mirror, then met my gaze. "We are going to kill Belshar tonight? What happened to the plan that we made before? What happened to prolonging Belshar's suffering for as long as possible by using his wife against him" she asked, her hand playing with the pearl necklace on her neck.I got up, walked to the mini bar, and poured myself a drink. "That was before. Now I want him dead tonight" I said, placed the glass to my lip, and swallowed the dry burning gin."And what about Delia? I thought she had to get what she wanted before we could kill Belshar. Do you no longer have a deal with her" "What is with the questions, Séda... do you suddenly have cold feet? Are you unable to kill your favorite son after all" I asked, walking toward her. Our eyes clashed in the mirror for a second. "Is that what this is about" Séda st

    DELIA HERRERA POV "Did Enoch send the divorce papers yet?" Grandfather asked as I fixed his drink. I glanced up from what I was doing and gave him a small smile. "I already signed and sent them back to him. We are no longer together and good riddance to him. He has embarrassed our family enough. I told you he was a bad choice right from the start. You should have listened to me." Grandfather grunted. "But did he really beat you, Delia? You didn't lie to me about anything did you?" My hand froze for a second, and I glanced at him. "I would never lie to you, Grandfather. Enoch was not a nice man. I tried my hardest to love him, but there is only so much I can take. You saw the bruises, didn't you? Do you think I made them myself" He looked away from me. "Enoch's character just doesn't..." "Enoch's character. Are you kidding me? Do you think I made the bruises up" I got out and dropped the glass on the table in annoyance."Of course not. I just want to be sure that was what truly h

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED Séda looked worried even as she walked up onto the stage. The confident look that always gleamed in her eyes was gone and in place of them was a look of anxiety that didn't go unnoticed by me.Kail was nowhere to be found and I knew that it was killing her inside. Séda cleared her throat, our gaze clashing for a few seconds enough for me to give her a knowing smirk.I watched as she clenched her fist, her chin jerking up as she turned to face the crowd who had gone quiet and were eagerly waiting for what she had to say.I crossed my arms and watched her address everyone."Thank you all so much for showing up to this great gathering" Séda started, a fake smile plastered to her lips as her gaze moved over the eager-looking people. "Today we celebrate the return of my son's wife, Celine Belshar Nessar Abed after months of thinking she was dead" She raised her glass in Celine's direction, her smile widening. My gaze followed hers and I watched mesmerized as Celine re

    DELIA HERRERA POV I drove away from my grandfather's mansion while listening to the news about Celine's homecoming party. Nearly all the channels were talking about it and it drove me fucking nuts.That party should have been mine. It was so unfair that I was not even given a chance to have Belshar see me in a new light.Yes, it was wrong of me to kill his wife. It was one of the reasons he could not stand the sight of me but the major reason he would never give me a chance was because of Celine. She came out of nowhere and managed to take everything I liked for herself. My whole life was ruined all because of her. I didn't even have a Grandfather anymore.She was the one who pushed me to commit all the bad things I've done so far. I had to take all the money out of the company to start over because my life as a Herrera was practically over. Enoch left me and the man I truly loved wanted nothing to do with me. If Grandfather had found out the extent of the damage I'd done, he would

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED The tension was thick in the air. Séda watched me, her eyes boring into mine. I could see the wheels turning in her mind. She couldn't quite decide if I was joking or serious. Her right eye twitched and she opened her mouth to speak. "Oh my goodness Celine" a voice exclaimed and both of our gaze jerked to see who it was that dared to interrupt. It was Julie Ping. Celine's friend. She rushed toward Celine and took her hand. "I've been waiting for a chance to talk to you all night, but I kept losing you in the crowd" Celine glanced down at their hand, her brows furrowing. "You have?" "Of course" she exclaimed enthusiastically. "I really need to talk to you about something. It's really important" she said, then let go of her hand. "I know things have been a bit crazy for you, we even planned to have dinner and all, but it didn't happen" Celine eyes widened a bit. "Oh, right. We planned to do that. Sorry, I totally forgot about that Julie..." She waved her words

    BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV "Enough" Séda shouted. Her eyes clenched shut for a second as if she couldn't believe what she was witnessing, then she took a deep breath and opened them. "How dare you do this, Belshar. We hosted a party to celebrate our family reunion and you want to ruin it by killing all these men and your own brother. Do you want people to take us as a joke""Wasn't that your plan for tonight though? Weren't you both going to kill me off and have Kail take over" I stated as I walked toward Kail, grabbed his hand where they were clenched on the armrest, straighted them out, and yanked the nail off his middle finger with the pliers in my hand.Kail's shout of pain was quiet and to keep from squealing like a bitch, he bit down hard on his lips. Séda's breath hitched and I could tell she was starting to feel the pain of the poison. Her gaze fastened on Kail's bleeding thumb, but I could tell she was totally unaffected by it. After all, it was her favorite method of punishme

    CELINE HERRERA POV "You said you wanted to talk. Is anything wrong, Julie" I asked as I and Julie stopped at a quiet corner.I noticed that she was trembling and wondered if she was cold. Or if it was because of Belshar's stare from earlier."Um, it's really not that serious and I don't want you to take this the wrong way..." She got out, dragged her hand through her hair, and let out a frustrated sigh. "My cousin ran into some money problems and, it's kind of hard for us right now... I don't know if you can help me with some money" I gaped at her. It was a surprise that she was even telling me about her problem. The Julie I knew never spoke about her family and got offended whenever I steered the conversation in their direction."Of course, I can help you out, Julie. How much do you need?" Her brows furrowed. "You're going to help" "What do you mean by that question? Of course, I am going to help. It's your family we are talking about here"She shook her head. "Really? Don't take

    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 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
