CELINE HERRERA POV

I didn't know what to feel after I left Antonia. Why would she look for me now, what could she possibly hope to achieve after staying away for so long?

Mother suffered because of them so does she even deserve my forgiveness? If they hadn't abandoned us maybe she would have still been alive, and I wouldn't have suffered so much as I did in the hands of Delia and Grandfather because I would have had someone to protect me.

I dragged my finger through my hair and let out a sigh.

"Should we go back to the company ma'am or are you going to make another stop?" the driver asked breaking through the turmoil going on in my head and I met his gaze through the mirror.

"Let's head back to the company, I still have something to take care of," I answered and he nodded and started the car.

We drove in silence, the car moving slowly through the traffic.

I checked the time on my phone and paused when I saw that I'd gotten a message.

It was from Belshar and I hastened to open and

    DELIA HERRERA POV Belshar had gotten her flowers; beautiful green roses that shone beautifully in the sun. I watched Celine blush, turn, and rush into the company building after they talked for a bit. The sharp pang of pain in my chest as I watched Belshar stare after her made it difficult to breathe."You always get to have the best things, don't you? Why does it have to be you all the time"Enoch was thinking about getting back with her, she was the company's CEO once again and it seemed that Belshar truly loved her. Would my plan with Kail even work? Was he even doing anything? Just how long was I going to wait? And do I truly only want a child from Belshar without him in my life or was that because I knew he hated me so much and I didn't know what to do to get him to like me even just a little bit? Taking a deep breath, I got out of my car instead of heading home like I'd intended and walked toward him. He noticed me approaching and my heart almost stopped as memories flashed

    DELIA HERRERA POV The El Salvador club was bustling with rich influential and good-looking people and as I took in the faces of the men walking around, I couldn't help but feel like I'd been missing out a lot. "Damn, it's been a while since I'd been here" I muttered to myself. This had been my most favorite place to spend my nights before I married Enoch. I'd been caged up for too long. When was the last time I even unwinded? Shaking my head, I looked around for Liam while covertly taking in the admiring gazes of the men around me. They were staring blatantly at me, their desire for me clear and I couldn't help but smirk."I guess I still got it" I muttered and flipped my hair. Belshar could only hate me for so long before he fell for my beauty. If I pretend long enough to have changed, he will warm up to me and when Celine dies at the end, I'll be his only shoulder to cry on. The bartender whistled as I stopped in front of him."Delia Herrera, what a pleasure to have you here wi

    CELINE HERRERA POV The roses were what my gaze was on, which was why I didn't see Julie turning away from the secretary and heading in my direction until we crashed into each other. Hard.A gasp escaped my lips as I fell to the floor, my eyes widening as I took in the damage the drink she had been holding that got crushed between us had done. The roses had been splashed and so had my dress. Julie was all over me in a second. "Oh, my goodness. I am so sorry, I didn't even see you" she rushed out as she took my hand and pulled me up to my feet. "Are you alright, I slammed into you pretty hard didn't I?" she asked and I nodded as I adjusted my dress and tried to clean away the residue of the drink. I noticed that two of the guards and the secretary were hovering around us, not quite knowing what to do to remedy the situation. "It's alright" I got out then gave them a dismissive wave. "I am totally fine. I'll just talk with Julie here, so you all can get back to your position" I said

    CELINE HERRERA POV "What are you..." I panicked as he started to give space between us."Fuck, this is so hard" he growled In frustration. I was more frustrated, but I guess he was much stronger than I was in this little game we were playing. He had more restraints.I didn't. I wanted him so bad, I literally burned with it. So without thinking, I twined my hands around his neck and pressed my lips to his.My action must have surprised him because he made a shocked sound against my mouth, but it only took a few seconds for his body to catch up with mine, his mouth pressing insistently against mine.I couldn't help but feel a bit of thrill that I'd managed to throw him off balance. I liked that I had the power to shock him, to make him unable to resist me. Me.His hungry hands constricted around my waist until there wasn't a breath of room between our two bodies. Until there was no denying the hot, hard length of him against my stomach or the wet heat pooling between my legs, scenting

    JULIE POV Delia was going to be pissed that our plan had not worked out but there was nothing to be done about it, besides it would have been very suspicious to offer Celine a drink right after reconciling with her. What happened was for the better. Not that I gave a fuck if Delia got mad. I am sure she has a lot of things to worry about at the moment. The video of her killing Bella being at the very top of that list.My phone pinged and I stared down at it. It was a video. A grin tugged on my lips as I hit play and the sound of Delia moaning as she got fucked over the table flooded my ear. The little bitch. Great, another thing to add to her worry list.Enoch had refused to believe that Delia was planning to sleep with Belshar for whatever reason known to her, but now he would know that I was telling the truth and that Delia didn't give two fucks about him. The thing about Delia was that she was obsessed with Celine. She didn't know it but she was. And it wasn't a recent thing ei

    CELINE HERRERA POV The ride was filled with tense silence and every time I glanced at Belshar, I could tell that he was in deep thought. I didn't know how to feel or what to do to make the atmosphere playful like it had been since we went to the beach. He was facing away from me, choosing to stare out the window, probably because he didn't want to look at me.The heated moment we shared in my office was still fresh in my head. I could also remember the moment that ruined it all. I'd almost blurted out that I loved him but stopped at the last second but I was certain Belshar knew that I'd almost confessed.I'd hurt him even without meaning to. Was he pissed off? How the hell did I want to go about seducing someone who was in a bad mood anyway?I glanced down as his hands flexed on his thighs, the veins on his arm making me swallow. my eyes strayed to the center of his parted leg and a soft gasp escaped my lips as I stared at the prominent bulge tenting his pants. My cheeks heated up

    CELINE HERRERA POV I looked up at him through my lashes. "I thought we were only going to be having dinner... Why the sudden serious atmosphere" I said, pulling my hand away from him. I leaned forward, my cleavage on display. "You shouldn't ruin such a good moment Belshar" His jaw clenched and he gripped the fork in his hand tightly. "Celine" he hissed, warningly and I arched a brow."Why, I gave you a chance to make me fall for you didn't I... It's only right that I get to seduce you too"Slowly, teasingly, I took hold of the sash of the robe I was wearing and pulled it off, letting it drop to the floor. I got to my feet, letting the robe part, and watched as he sucked in a sharp breath.His reaction made me all the more bolder as I walked toward him, shedding the robe in the process.The material of the lingerie was almost transparent and I knew he could see everything I had to offer."You didn't quite get to finish back at the office. I think we should take care of that, besides,

    DELIA HERRERA POV Zyaine had been a beast. Goodness! Who knew good sex was what I needed to feel alive again? I didn't regret taking a chance on him at all. The tension I had been feeling all week was gone and I was less angry.I stepped into the house, the quietness enveloping the space a bit daunting. Did Enoch leave already? "Enoch" I called as I climbed up the stairs. The sound of the shower running alerted me that he was still at home. Getting to the door that led to the master's bedroom room, I fixed my hair, fixed a stoic look on my face, and stepped inside. I knew he was in the shower room. His shirt had been flung carelessly on the floor and the standing mirror had a crack in it. I stepped closer, noticing the smear of blood at the center. What the hell happened here?"Delia" his voice rumbled through the room and I jerked, whirling around to see him standing in front of the bathroom, his toned body steaming and glistening as he wiped the residue of water off his skin.

    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
