Chapter Fifteen
The silence that engulfed them only made the sound of the waves as they hit the seashore distinct. Vincent did not answer her questions. He stood straight next to her, arm around her waist, squeezing her hips from time to time. Celestine's head seems like it has a mind of its own and without her consent, it moved and rested on Vincent's shoulder. He stilled, astonished by her sudden move but he did not complain nor say a thing.
He let the heaviness of her head lay to his shoulder.

"I have to go now," he whispered against her hair. She closed her eyes as the warmth of his breath run through her scalp. Goosebumps developed on her nape down to her arms.
"Okay." She slowly moved her head away from his shoulder and crossed her a

They could no longer read what emotions he hid behind his stern face. It was impossible to decipher what emotion he's surfacing.

Even though he denied everything to himself he could say that he should not belittle what Vladimir and what he's capable of doing because of what he did right now.

"How was your sis? She's fine now?" Vladimir asked as he sat on the wooden chair opposite Sebastian. The chillness inside of the resthouse doubled, compared to the outside that it triggered his skin, giving him goosebumps."She's fine now. She just needs to rest for a couple of days." Sebastian yawned upon rubbing his itchy eyes. He was lucky that he didn't receive any wounds from what happened earlier. Two cars chased after them, shooting their car and intending to kill every one of them.Vladimir nodded. "That's great. Just monitor her. You know Alice and how stubborn she is."He spoke again. "She likes to throw herself to Vincent. It's something I'm scared about her."Sebastian was about to speak when Carter with a huge grin plastered on his lips entered the kitchen.

Vincent walked with heavy footsteps. It echoes throughout the hallway surpassing the sound of Vladimir's shoes as they hit the cold tile floor. He was walking behind Vincent, his mouth shut, eyes on the open windowpanes and hands on his pocket. "I know what happened now..." Vincent said as he stopped walking. His hands were in his pocket when he turned around to face Vladimir. Vladimir averted his gaze to the window and look straight into Vincent's eyes. "What did you know?" he asked, his voice is calm despite the curiosity that was starting to grow inside of his mind. "I know what happened to Sophia. You killed her." Rage reflected in Vincent's eyes. It was relentless. Vladimir had seen it before. He's familiar with the sinister that was hiding behind Vincent's eyes.

The old man seemed fine for her.When the old man was able to recover from the shock he felt upon seeing his son again, he stepped a little closer to his son and patted his shoulder."Long time no see, son."Vladimir's face darkened and it seemed like at any moment he was ready to kill someone. His eyes were in the shade of black and red, burning in rage."What are you doing here?" he asked his father."This restaurant is not part of Mogilevich's property anymore so I don't see anything wrong about coming here to visit."Vincent's grip on Celestine's hand loosened slightly as h

"No, you're lying. You're just making this thing up. Who asked you to say these lies huh? Vincent? Well, I'm not stupid. I won't believe you or even your boss!" she shouted as she turned her back to Vladimir. He chased her and grabbed her by arm."Listen, I'm your stepbrother. Your mom had an affair—"She slapped him, hard. Her hands were trembling and despite the soreness of her hand as it land on Vladimir's cheek she managed to clinch it into a fist. Her mom has nothing to do with the mafia and everything that Vladimir was saying right now. She won't believe him, never. Although her mom was already in heaven and wasn't able to defend herself anymore to accusations that Vladimir had been putting against her name, the memories of her mother should still be respected."Don't you ever try to accuse her of something she didn't do again in front of me because I don't know what I can do just to protect my mom?"

Celestine sat on Vincent's bed. She doesn't know for how long she had been silent ever since Vincent removed his hands on her. His rough warm hands immediately marked its territory to her waist that emptiness evade her heart when he let her go.He remained silent. Minutes had passed and none of them dared break the silence. He felt like his throat went dry upon waiting for Celestine to speak.Vincent tried to find regret in his heart for what he did, for touching Celestine, for crossing the boundaries he had built for the both of them, and for caressing her smooth hair.

He fastidiously put her to bed. Her weightless body felt like a feather as it touched the soft mattress that made a loud springy noise. She lost count of how many times she blinked to stop herself from falling asleep. She can't seem to move her muscle and wasn't even able to lift a finger. It was as if her body wants to shut down and permanently rest so she controlled herself. The rhythmic chirping of the crickets takes over. It wasn't too loud but was enough to kill the silence inside of her bleak, darkroom. A harsh slam of wind blew out of a midnight sky, she hugged herself and rubbed both of her arms. Vladimir stood up and approached the window and closed it. "Are you fine now? What did he do to you huh?" he asked softly as if she was a fragile thing. She looked at her lap, uncomfortable with Vladimir's stares. "I'm fine. He did nothing." He sat on the edge of the bed, his back on Celestine. Certainly, she's uncomfortable to
