"Celestine, I'm not rushing you to decide about this project right away. You still have a week to decide so please think about this first," Saoirse said as she lean her back against the swivel chair. "And besides, the company isn't asking much of your time to do the project unlike the other offers so please think about this very seriously before you decide. I won't consider your decision for now," she added.
Celestine let out a soft sigh. She doesn't want to do the project because she is thinking of quitting. All her life modeling becomes the center of her life, she feels like without it she's wasting her time. But now, she realized that modeling is her dream and she had already reached that dream now it's time for her to put herself first and let go of it.

"Boss," Balthazar greeted as he answered the call after closing the car door. He stopped the car for a moment because in just half an hour of him driving Vincent called him. As much as he wanted to just answer the call inside of the car, he can't because of Celestine. There are some things that Celestine shouldn't hear of. And he doesn't trust her. "Change of plans. Don't drive her to the hotel, drive her to the resthouse instead," Vincent said while glancing to his wrist to check the time. "Is that all, boss?" he asked with evident respect in his tone of voice. "Yes, drive her to the resthouse. If she asks, don't answer her. Don't let her know that you will drive her to the resthouse and not to the hotel, understand?" "Yes, boss." "Good. After driving her to the resthouse don't leave and guard her. No one is in the resthouse except for the maids so make sure that Celestine is safe," Vincent remind

"Are you hiding something from me?" Vincent asked with his eyes firmly closed. The risk of knowing if she really can lie to him petrifies him more than a gun pointed to his head would. However, what petrifies him, even more, is to know that Celestine is innocent and he had accused her. He trusted Celestine and he's more than willing to trust her even more now that he heard something about her that can ruin everything they had in a snap of a finger. Celestine put the phone down for a moment and try her best to stifle a cry. She bit her lower lip and tucked some of her hair strands behind her ears despite her shaky hands. "Celestine, answer me, darling. Like I promise, I'll believe you." She shook her head as her tears started to escape from her eyes. She looked up to stop her tears from falling but even so, her tears still stubbornly coming out of her eyes. It was suffocating; to cry and try not to make any noise so you don't ha

"What do you want to eat, Miss Celestine?" Balthazar asked as he was checking the refrigerator and the kitchen cabinets. As expected, the refrigerator is full and the spices are complete inside the cabinets same as the pastries section. "Anything that you can cook will do," she simply answered. Her eyes are wandering around the place trying to remember the first time she went to the resthouse to differentiate the changes that had happened to the house. She doesn't want to do anything other than wander her eyes all over the place and remain silent. Until now, she still has Vincent in her mind and the question he had asked her a while ago. She's somewhat thankful for what happened a while ago at the convenience store because if it didn't happen Vincent probably already confronted her inside of her hotel room. Although a part of her heart feels the need to talk to Vincent and explain everything she still couldn't exa

"Thank you," she said to the waitress with a sweet smile on her lips before the waitress leaves. She's been waiting an hour now before she decides to finally order something just to keep herself busy while she is waiting. She checked her phone. She still hasn't received any text from him.

"Balthazar please, we need you to lie. Please don't tell Victor that I'm seeing Mr. Daniel. W-What happened is just a coincidence. I didn't know that he was also in the same cafe that I was in. I'm begging you please don't tell this to him," Sophia pleaded while Celestine was cupping her mouth using her left hand as she do her best not to make any noise. The call wasn't on a loudspeaker. Celestine intend to not press the loudspeaker button when she figured out that it was Sophia that is calling Balthazar, afraid that the man might know that she answered the call that was supposed for him. "Please Balthazar. I'm not promising that this will be the last time that I'll see Mr. Daniel but the next time I see him, I'll avoid him right away..."

A while ago, she already lose hope that Vincent will go to meet her and said to herself that if Vincent won't reply to her text, at least he is aware that she waited and still willing to wait for him. "I-I thought you won't come anymore," she said breaking the silence that she predicted to surround them if she wouldn't dare to be the first to speak. Vincent takes a deep breath then he fixes his wristwatch. "I attended a meeting a while ago and got preoccupied that I have forgotten that I was supposed to meet you three hours ago." "It's okay. I understand. By the way, do you want something to eat? You can order, my treat," she offered. "I'm not hungry." He crossed his arms on his chest. "So you mean to say that you

A knock from the door woke Celestine up. She sat on the bed and yawned; causing tears to escape from her eyes. She heard a knock on the door once again. "Who's there?" she asked while removing the sleep from her eyes. A while ago, she decided to just rest inside her room then she unconsciously fell asleep because of exhaustion. She won't be aware that she had fallen asleep if the knock didn't disturb her sleep. Lander outside the room is swallowing repeatedly as he couldn't find the right words to say to Celestine. He regret the things that come out of his mouth earlier and it took him an hour to think of the best way he could do to apologize to Celestine.

"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. She wanted to start her morning in a good mood since she slept with a heavy heart last night so instead of scolding the maid she just p

"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." He turned his back on her then he pulled his sleeves up. She, on the othe

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
