She remembered how the ear-splitting sound of thunder outside her window and the heavy drop of the rain on the rooftop woke her up. It was unexpected. It was said in the weather forecast from last night to expect rain but no one said that it'll rain heavily. She removed the sleep from her eyes and get off her bed. She walked towards the window and gingerly opened it. 

The harsh blow of the wind welcomed her just woke up with a bit swollen face. The rain intensifies, she could see how the trees swayed because of the wind. She took a heavy sigh and closed the window. 

Her darkroom was gloomy but she did not bother switching on the lights because she likes it that way. She reached for the fan and unplugged it. She dropped her heavy body to the bed and wrapped the comforter around her body. She's in no desire of getting out from her bed nor getting out of the room. She closed her eyes. 

She remembered everything. How she woke up that morning unenthusi

    Slowly, she removed her lips from Vincent's. She tucked some of her hair strand behind her ears as she opened her eyes. His eyes were still shut, his every breath was heavy, and he didn't move a muscle. Celestine's mouth was left open. Her eyes went to Vincent's lips. "Oh God, what the heck, Celestine?" she scolded herself as she gradually realized what she had done. Not much in herself, she touched her lips. It was there, she can still feel the softness of his lips against hers. She abruptly stood up and moved away from Vincent's bed—hands still covering her mouth. She was thankful that it didn't interrupt Vincent's sleep because if it does, she doesn't know how to save herself from embarrassment. No one caught her stealing a kiss from Vincent but embarrassment is eating her up so she decided to just leave his room. She fastidiously turned the doorknob, afraid that it will make a noise that might interrupt Vincent's sl

    Lander Buenavista. Lander Buenavista. Lander Buenavista.She repeatedly says his name at the back of her head, trying her best to remember when did she heard of his name.If she's not mistaken he's the man she is supposed to have a shoot with. She thought back to the time where she signed a contract alone because the man named, Lander Buenavista who was said to be her partner in the shoot, was nowhere to be found during this time.She glanced at his hand. Despite her reluctance to acknowledge his hand she still accepted it.They shook hands."Everyone was looking for you. I did the shoot alone a while ago. If I only knew that you're just here I already contacted Vincent."Celestine just gave him a faint smile. In her observation, she's certain that Lander wasn't aware of Vincent's dirty business because if he does, he wouldn't act this friendly towards her."We'll still shoot tomorrow. I think you should come with me. It woul

    "Do whatever you want with Celestine. It's not like I give a damn about her." Celestine kicked the stone in front of her that appeared to be mislaid in the middle of the sand. She heard everything but what only lingered in her mind until now, was that phrase. Her life has been in constant turmoil ever since she meets Vincent. One moment, he will come off as someone she could at least trust, and just after a few minutes after that, he'll be back to being the man she first met—the villain that ruined not just her life but also her father's. "Do whatever you want with Celestine. It's not like I give a damn about her." She messed up her hair as the little voice at the back of her head played Vincent's voice again stating those words like an old music box that relentlessly makes music even no one is playing it. Until now, she couldn't seem to get out of her mind how Vincent say those words without second thoughts—in great certainty.

    "You should sleep."Celestine consecutively blinked as she couldn't believe the reason why Vincent had called her."Wait, you asked the maid to call me just for you to say that I should sleep?"Vincent faced her, his back leaning against his desk while hands were on his pocket, his disheveled hair was preventing her to stare into his eyes. His hair was a bit long which Celestine hadn't noticed before. Vincent maintained his hair waxed that every time she sees his hair she recalls thinking about James Bond's hairstyle. But tonight was different. He looked someone else to Celestine."You'll go to an early shoot for tomorrow so you better sleep early tonight. I already contacted your manager about it."Celestine crossed her arms around her chest."How did you know my manager's contact number?""From Lander. I need to know the full details of your shoot tomorrow so I called her.""I don't want to do th

    "Vincent... Vincent..."Vincent slowly opened his eyes. His hand automatically shield his eyes as a bright light shone unannounced to his face. Everything was in the shade of white. He squinted his eyes, trying his best to recognize the place he's currently in and there was nothing but a pale surrounding."Vincent... Vincent..."He sheered. He knew that voice. He was certain of who was the owner of that voice. The softness of how his name was being called. It only knew one person who calls his name that way."Sophia..." he said in realization.He once again looks around. "Sophia where are you, honey?""Vincent..."He closed his eyes. He missed hearing it—her voice calling his name. Upon closing his eyes he felt something pressed against his eyelid, then to another. It was soft and gentle.Vincent opened his eyes again and Sophia's angelic face welcomed him. She's smiling, showing her white and almost per

    Since Celestine got inside of the car she remained silent and she was thankful that Lander unexpectedly keep his mouth shut. Like her, he's also silent while driving. Far from Lander who likes to ask questions.Upon looking at the road her eyes went to the rear mirror. There's a black van behind them, tailing Lander's car. She let out a heavy sigh. She's certain that it was Vincent's men."The location is a bit far from here. You can still sleep," Lander said, his eyes still focused on the road.She yawned, making her eyesight a little blurry. "It's okay I'm fine.""You're not. You should take nap. I'll just wake you up once we get there," he insisted.Celestine is sleepy. She's been constantly yawning since a while ago but she thinks that it might be rude to sleep on Lander.

    "I want to know more about Celestine Oakmont," Vincent said after he suck the smoke from his cigarette and hold it for a few seconds before he blow it out. The man on his black t-shirt with a craggy face gets a wine glass from the waitress that walked past him, chinking other glasses on the tray. He chuckled then sit properly on the couch, leaning his back comfortably on the backrest of his seat. "I heard from Leandro that you already ask for that woman's information from Vladimir. What else do you want to know about her huh?" Vincent put the cigarette between his lips and emerges something out from his coat. Edward drank his wine, emptying the wine glass that made his cheeks blush as he was waiting for Vincent to say something. He put the empty glass on the table. "What's that?" Vincent nudged the checkbook to him. Edward smirked. "Name your price,

    Celestine hugged herself for warmth as the chillness of the wind etched into her skin down to her bones, making her shiver.She wandered her eyes and saw everything in the shade of yellow and green—sunlight slanted on the trees, lively color of the green grass, and yellow flowers surrounded her feet from where she's standing. Celestine inhaled and closed her eyes. Her hair is swaying in every gust of the wind."Open your eyes, darling." Celestine opened her eyes automatically upon hearing that voice."Daddy..." she said a little louder. He didn't respond. He just stared at her, his lips in a thin line, eyes on her, hands on his back."Where are you now?" she asked, almost like a whisper, still astonished by the fact that she's standing in front of her father."Come," he spread his arms. "Hug your daddy."Celestine shook her head. "N-No... Just stay there.""Don't you miss your Daddy?" he asked without an ounce of emotion express

    "V-Vincent..." All she remembered was throwing the gun somewhere and she ran towards Vincent. His eyes are wide open as well as his mouth. He's not moving. She tried to wake him by touching his chest yet after minutes of sobbing and trying to save him, nothing happened. His chest is not moving, it was as if he is asleep but his eyes is open. He's not breathing anymore. "N-No, Vincent. Wake up, c-cmon... Wake up p-please," she whispered to his ear even though she knew to herself that no matter what she do, it's already too late. She hugged his body and she sobbed in his chest, hoping that it was just a bad dream even though she still can feel the intensityof the gun when she fired it. "Celestine, let's go. C'mon, you need to leave now. Any minute from now Vincent's men will come to check on what was happening here. We need to go now." Celestine looked at the woman who suddenly speak. It was Sophia.

    "Clean the cell, leave no trace of his blood there, burn the gun, his clothes, and his apartment," Vincent authoritively said as he was washing his hands on the sink. His men immediately nodded his head after hearing what his boss had said. They were having a good time talking while eating until they heard a gunshot coming inside of the cell. Everything happened so fast that the the only thing they know was thinking that their boss had planted a bullet in Kingston's head but it wasn't what they are expecting because when they go to see the cell, it was Kingston who is holding their boss' gun. "What the fuck are you still doing here? Didn't you hear what I asked you to do?!" Vincent shouted when he noticed that the associate is still standing next to him like an idiot. Vincent's shout was enough for the associate to get back to his senses and get out of the bathroom and do what his boss asked him to do. Vincent closed his eyes firmly and threw his head back while he is clenching

    "Let me go!" She had been screaming yet no one seem to hear her, they are ignoring her. She is inside of a van with five men inside, all of them are wearing masks and they are all silent. There is nothing that could be hear inside except for her screams that don't seem to bother the five men. She closed her eyes firmly and stopped trying to untie her wrists on her back for a moment. She has to remind herself that she had been in this position before, her getting kidnapped by the enemies is something that is not new for her and instead of feeling scared she should think of a way to escape from them, though it might be impossible to do that because what is the strength of a woman compared to five strong men surrounded her. "Good thing you finally get tired of screaming," the man driving the car said while he is chewing a gum. She opened her eyes. "If you think that Vincent will come to save me, you better think again. You got the wrong person. I am not Sophia, you should've taken h

    "Fuck," Kingston murmured when he tried to make a movement. His body is sore from all the punches that he had received. He doesn't know how long Vincent had been keeping him inside of the cell because he couldn't see any light from the outside. All he wanted was Vincent's men discovered a new hobby and it is to beat him up every fucking minute. He spit blood on the cold tile floor then he tried his best to move his body for him to comfortably lie on the floor. As he was trying his best to move, he is holding his breath firmly. He can endure the pain but his body needs a rest. He never felt so restless his entire life until Vincent kept him inside of the cell that makes him feel like he is visually impaired. "Fuck this," he continued cursing as he was trying his best to quicken his movement so the pain he might going to feel will be all at once yet his body is not cooperating. He can feel the tiredness of his body. Every inch of his being wants to rest yet in his mind, he keep tel

    Celestine stopped walking as soon as she figured out that Saoirse is no longer following her. She turned around to see what her manager was doing and she found her a bit far from where she is with a devilish smile. At first, she is hesitant to call her attention but then she remembered why somehow she wanted to have this conversation with her manager. "Hey! Everything's fine?" she asked loudly, making sure that despite the distance between them she will still be able to hear her. Saoirse who was startled by her voice immediately composed herself, remove the devilish smile on her face, and act as if she had done nothing wrong then she jogged towards Celestine's direction. "Sorry, I just had to reply to that important text message," she explained as soon as she reached Celestine's side. "Anyways, I know a place here where we can talk privately." What Saoirse just said made Celestine's eyebrow raise. She's not in her manager's side for months now unlike before that they are usually t

    "Good morning, Miss," the maid greeted as soon as she opened her eyes. Last night, she wasn't able to sleep. She doesn't know if it is about the temperature or is it about the idea that Vincent and her isn't fine. But between the two, she choose to believe that it is because of the room temperature. "W-What time is it already?" she asked as she was helping herself to sit on the bed. The windows in her room is open yet the sunlight is not hurting her skin, giving her an idea that she woke up early today. She looked at the maid confusedly. Maids are not allowed to enter the room, not just her room but in any room without asking for permission that she is confused for why the maid is inside of her room the moment she open her eyes. Even though she wants to point out about the maid tresspassing inside of her room she just decided to shrug the idea off.

    "H-Here's your coffee." She slightly tilted the tray that she was holding. Vincent lick his lower lip and run his fingertips to his scalp. He doesn't have an idea of how he supposed to deal with her after knowing almost everything that she had done. He couldn't believe everything that is on the papers. He couldn't believe everything that Kingston said. Everything is an act of betrayal. Everything isn't true. Celestine planned it, she tried to be in control of his life and he never did question her, it also somehow his fault yet it wouldn't justify the fact that she is the mastermind. She did what she did and he wouldn't let her fall for her stupid game anymore. She might had already plan how everything is going to end for him but he will change it. He will change the ending and it is him who will have the loudest laugh in the finish line that she had prepared for him. "I didn't ask you to bring that to me."

    Celestine hit her shoulder when she felt a mosquito pinching bite. Its blood was on her palm. It's dead. She grimaced, disgusted by the blood that is on her palm. She looked away from her it and wipe it on the hem of her t-shirt. The blood in her palm is something that doesn't freak her out anymore like she used to. Seeing blood anywhere becomes a normal scenario for her ever since she met Vincent. She glance in her palm and even though the blood wasn't there anymore, she can still see it; her hands that is covered by blood. She closed her eyes firmly to keep herself calm but instead of avoiding the idea that her mind had made up for her, she smell the blood. She can smell it. Blood that almost smells like hers, the scent that she's been trying to get out of her system. That smell, it was so familiar. A shovel suddenly entered her mind. The dried red stain in the shovel is what brings her back to the past that she's been trying to get off of her mind but couldn't. "Miss, are

    "Did you already sent the letter?" The man slightly nodded his head. "Yes, Sir." "Are you sure that she will receive the letter?" "Certainly, Sir," he answered with great confidence. "Good. Go back to your work now." He rest his back on the backrest of his couch. The letter successfully sent to Celestine, he just hope that the letter reach her before Vincent get to read them. Just when he thought he can finally have his fifteen minutes break, his phone suddenly rang. He pushed himself to reach for the phone on the other side of his table. He picked it up and put the phone against his ear. "Who is this?" he asked. "How are you, Bonifacio?" said the man on the other line with a devilish smirk lingered on his lips. That voice, he knows that voice very well, he know it so well that he immediately recognized the person calling. "Venedict," he said. Venedict chuckled. "Guess you still remember me." He clenched his jaw tightly. They haven't heard anything from Venedict sinc
