DELIA HERRERA POV "Why are you just allowing her to marry Belshar? Their wedding is this week. What about me? This was not part of the plan" I screamed, my hands flying to my hair while my whole body shook almost convulsively. I was losing my freaking mind and grandfather looked totally nonchalant about it. "Say something! Fucking say something damn it" I roared. "Enough of your tantrums! I told you this was a bad idea from the very start.. what would you have me do against someone as powerful as Belshar" "If you had just cut her off then this would not be happening. She's not even a real Herrera and she killed your son. My mother died because of her.. how can you let this happen!".Grandfather stood up, walked toward me, and then grabbed me by my shoulders and stared at me for awhile until the trembling restless energy that coursed through my veins lessened. "That's enough now my lovely child, take a deep breath and calm down so we can talk about this rationally," he said and I t

DELIA HERRERA POV PASSION GARDEN Once I stepped into the garden house I saw him and my heart gave a little jump in my chest. God, he made me so mad even when he was doing nothing. He stood tall in a tailor-made impeccable suit, his gaze focused on one of the flowers in particular. Why a flower garden of all places? I bet he was doing it on purpose because he knew just how much I despised settings like this. Was his one goal in life just to annoy me or what?He had his hands tucked into his pocket and his stance screamed power and authority and all that combo just made me more furious than I already was. I really should have drank a bottle of wine before coming here because there was only so much I could take in a day."If you stare at me for much longer you might really fall in love with me Delia," he said making me blanch from where I stood then he turned to face me, a knowing smirk on his lips, his hazel eyes a light shade that shone with amusement.I scoffed, then rolled my eyes

DELIA HERRERA My marriage was registered and In the news a day before Celine's wedding and I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she joined us for dinner tonight.I knew she had no plan for a bachelorette party because the only people who would have been in attendance had had no choice but to attend the small ceremony we'd held to commemorate my wedding. Grandfather had made it absolutely necessary. Celine had not come of course since she made an excuse that she was going to be getting her wedding gown that day but dinner was a different ball game and she had to come.I couldn't wait to gloat in her face. She thought she could one-up me but I was going to make sure that things never go the way she wanted them to. Marrying Enoch had not been part of the plan but Celine had left me with no choice since I hated the thought of her getting married before me. And Grandfather was right, Enoch was really the right candidate if I ever wanted to outshine Celine. But that didn't me

CELINE HERRERA POV Tears welled up in my eyes as I yanked open the door to my house and stepped into my little sanctuary. I took in the familiar interior then squeezed my eyes shut and slipped to the floor. The tears fell in torrents. They hadn't stopped falling since the night I'd left Bella's place and tonight Delia had managed to push me so hard, I'd said stuff that I normally wouldn't. I rubbed my hand against my face and flinched in pain as my hand rubbed against the crusty dried blood and the small cuts on my face. Picking myself up from the floor, I made my way to the bathroom and washed all of the blood off, then I stared at my reflection for the longest time. I took out the first aid box then treated my wound and put bandages on the most nasty of the cuts.My phone rang and I glanced to see that it was Julie calling. I picked up the phone and answered the call."Celine, oh my God, thank God you picked. I thought you were still mad at me" I still was but I also heard that

BELSHAR NESSAR ABED Everyone was gathered at the church and as I took in the expectant faces of all the guests, all I wanted was to get the charade all over with. Séda had planned the whole wedding so of course I'd expected it to be grand. Most of the time I did whatever it was they wanted just so they didn't focus all of their attention on me but marrying Celine who was an illegitimate child had been all my decision and I was sure the wheels in their head were turning as to why I was doing all this.Everything was a game to my family and the dynamic was such that the weak didn't survive for too long. I'd survived for so long because I had Selene by my side but she was gone and I knew that If I showed any crack I was going to end up dead like Antonio my older brother and Angelo, my stepbrother. It was just me and Kail now and I was sure mother and father were salivating to know who was going to come out on top.They were crazy but my family's had always been. Selene had been the onl

CELINE HERRERA POV The piano piece sounded like an intro to a horror show, and as I got closer to the altar with Belshar standing and staring at me as if I'd bolt at any second, I felt the seriousness of the situation and that there was no way for me to back out. I was fucking doomed.Séda was by my side as soon as I reached the aisle where she was sitting. She took my hand, kissed my cheek then met my gaze, the smile on her lips not quite reaching her eyes."I am so happy you showed up for your wedding Celine. I almost thought I'd have to kill you if it turned out you ran away" she whispered so only I could hear then chuckled when she saw me clench the flower I was holding tighter. "I am just joking love, you shouldn't take everything so seriously, it's really a bad habit.. now off you go, let me not keep you waiting any longer," she said and patted my back. I walked away from her but I could feel her gaze boring into my back and even though she had said it was all a joke, I knew t

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

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

BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV "We need to join them at the table," Celine murmured against my chest, where she had her face pressed against."But I quite like it here. Just the two of us, dancing under the moonlight"Her arms wrapped around me. "Me too," she sighed, then glanced up at me.Her eyes sparkled, reflecting the iridescent glow of the moon. I wanted to get lost in them."It feels so good to get away from everything, doesn't it""Yeah," I nodded, then caressed her cheek. "How are you feeling. Has it been difficult with Sadie""Not too hard since you help out a lot... Antonia has also been a good help to her. Thank you for getting her. You were right, she's really good at her job"I grinned. "I am happy to hear that. If it gets too hard, tell me okay"She nodded. "I will"Celine gaze darted to the hall as the music coming from inside changed."Do you think they'll notice that we've been gone for a while?" she asked, meeting my gaze."Kail is keeping them busy with his MC skills.

CELINE HERRERA POV Giving birth was a nightmare, but as I stared at my beautiful baby girl's face, I couldn't help my heart filling up with joy and love. I glanced up at Belshar who was grinning down at the baby in my hand."She's so tiny" he got out, his voice filled with awe. "I know, right? After all that food, I thought she'd be a lot bigger"His grin stretched, his eyes crinkling at the side. "She's perfect," he said, then looked up at me. "Just like her mother"Color filled my cheek and I leaned toward him. "And she's strong just like her father," I said and pressed a kiss to his lips.His eyes were moist with tears when I pulled back.My heart squeezed; the feeling of too much happiness in my chest suffocating. But I loved it. I loved everything I felt when I was with Belshar."You're going to be a great father Belshar"He took my hand. "I promise to always be there for you and our daughter. And our other kids that we are going to have very soon," he grinned."Hey, what's tha

KAIL NESSAR ABED POV "Oh," Karen gasped, then pulled away from the kiss.I stared at her, my heart pounding as I took in her flushed face and swollen lips."What's wrong?" I asked as I watched her try and catch her breath."Celine. Celine and Belshar are here. They were the ones who told me about where you were. I was scared to come alone, so they came with me"I shook my head as I sucked in a deep breath. "I know," I said, then turned, and pointed to where Celine's phone was peaking through the hallway by the side of the wall.The phone soon disappeared and I chuckled. She probably noticed me staring and pointing at it."You two can come out now! Your cover has already been blown" I yelled and waited.Celine was the first to come out. She smiled as she gave a small wave. "Oh my God, Kail, it's been how long since you vanished," she said, The guilty smile on her lips stretching the closer she got to Karen and I. Belshar followed behind and stopped by Celine's side when they reached u

KAIL NESSAR ABED POV "What the hell do you want?" I groaned as I stumbled out of bed, my feet studding against the bedframe and jarring me awake as pain shot up my body. "God damn it"I grumbled as I walked out of the room. It was probably room service. My head throbbed and I barely managed to avoid tripping on the bottles that littered all over the floor. Just how much did I drink last night?"I told you not to fucking bother—" The words died on my lips as I yanked the door open and came face to face with Karen.I stared at her, my heart stopping for a beat."Karen—" her name escaped my lips as my heart kicked up in my chest, and then I clenched my eyes shut. "God, I am going crazy," I groaned, then chuckled under my breath as I rubbed my hand over my face. "I must be drunk out of my fucking mind. How long am I going to keep seeing your face, Karen," I muttered to myself, then pulled my hand away.My brows furrowed as I stared at her. Why was she still standing there? On a normal da

CELINE HERRERA POV "Absolutely not," Belshar said, then faced Victoria, who quickly looked away and shrugged. "You cannot travel in that condition""Why not? I already gave Karen my word that I was going to be her wingwoman," I pouted, and he scoffed."You are not going to be traveling, Celine, and that's final. Call Karen and tell her that you won't be able to go with her." He said then paced for a bit before turning to face me. "Did you forget what you went through in the past months? The doctor said no stress"I crossed my arms, my brows furrowing hard as I frowned. "Travelling is hardly any stress and you owe me this much after everything that happened"Belshar let out a sigh of frustration and then glanced at Victoria again. "Are you not going to say anything. Tell her just how dangerous traveling is in her condition" he said and I looked at her, my eyes daring her to say anything that was not in my favor She sighed as she dropped the towels she was folding. "If it's just for a

CELINE HERRERA POV THREE MONTHS LATER "What's wrong. You've been spacing off for a while now" Karen turned to face me and then shook her head, her eyes squinted to avoid the glare of the sun."Nothing's wrong," she answered, and I gave her a look because even a blind mind could tell by her aura that things were not right."You know you can always talk to me right"She forced a smile. "I know that"I couldn't help becoming more concerned. "If you're still traumatized about the whole thing you went through, I can fix you an appointment with the therapist that helped me when I experienced something similar"She sighed and came to sit beside me. "No, you don't have to do that at all. I promise I'm really fine."I nodded even though I wasn't convinced. There has been something off with her ever since the rescue and her refusal to talk to me was starting to make me worry.I already felt bad that she got dragged into our family's mess and had to go through something so horrible, so why wa

KAIL NESSAR ABED POV I watched as they wheeled her away, my heart burning in my chest.Belshar walked toward me; his face was grim and emotionless. He stopped in front of me and my jaws clenched, the anger in my chest poisoning my blood."You sure took your time, Belshar"He scoffed, his gaze moving over me. "That's what you think but I didn't take a rest for the ten days you both were captured, kail. I did everything possible to make sure you didn't have to die In this dump""If it was Celine, you would have made sure you rescued her in time" I roared and grabbed his shirt. "Do you have any idea what Karen went through in there? She's probably going to be traumatized after this" I gritted and saw red when he smirked."What the hell is so funny" I gritted out, the urge to punch him in the face becoming impossible to resist."I didn't think I'd see the day you would be concerned for someone else. I thought you were angry for yourself, but it turns out it's for Karen. You're down that

KAREN POV I started to get up and stopped when he reached out, his gaze intent on mine."Don't" he started, then swallowed, his gaze darting away from mine. "You don't have to get up"My face flushed and the prickly feeling in my neck intensified despite the frigid air. "Don't you like me anymore?" I asked and he shook his head, even though the action caused him a bit of discomfort."I like you a lot, Karen. You have no idea how hard it has been for me to have you so close and not be able to do anything" he said, his gaze pinning mine. "From the moment I laid eyes on you at the cafe, you consumed my thoughts. I couldn't help but watch you... I must have scared you"I bit down on my lips. "You did scare me at the start but I knew you weren't going to hurt me"A flicker of a smile ghosted across his lips, then he became serious. "You told me at the cafe before all of this happened that you loved Enoch. I told you how I felt about you and that was your reply"I twiddled with my thumb,

KAREN POV "I used to really hate Belshar, you know," Kail got out as he turned on his side to face me."Why?" I asked, staring into his grey eyes. "Because father and mother used to pay more attention to him than me. It was almost as if I didn't exist back then. They always had their eyes on him, so I had to go the extra mile just to get them to notice me."He paused, and I watched as a wry smile played on his lips. He looked so sad, it hurt my heart."I started to bully him because of that. I took pleasure in causing him pain since he took all my joy away. Father and mother soon noticed, and instead of getting in trouble, they told me that they were proud of me. So the pattern formed. It was only when I hurt him that Mother smiled at me, so I did it more times than often. But that feeling of finally being noticed soon faded because it was still because of him. I hated him so much all I thought about was killing him""And Belshar never fought back," I asked. It was a bit surprising
