LEINA's P O V

The hands of the clock struck at exactly ten in the evening.

I had already taken a shower, and now I was sitting on the bed, feeling really anxious on what was about to happen next. I was holding the book that Celestine had left on the nightstand, pretending to read it, but all the while… my eyes were wandering to the bathroom, where I was waiting for Arnold to emerge.

I was considering what the most effective approach would be for me to take in order to achieve a more natural appearance. And on top of that, I can't let him take off my bra tonight; else, he'll see the scar that had been on my chest after the surgery...

How am I going to keep it a secret from him?

I anxiously pulled down my shirt in front of my chest, and did a quick check of my scar. I had heart replacement surgery, and the scar was still visible, despite the fact that it could not be seen from a distance. However… if someone came closer and looked at it closely, the scar appeared to be very obvious.

    LEINA's P O V‘‘A-arnold…’’His silence made me feel even more frightened. I secretly wished, and crossed my fingers in the high hopes that he wouldn't identify me as Leina. It’s too early for him to catch me, and ruin my plans.Arnold averted his sight, making it impossible for me to read what was going through his mind. He gave me one more glance and a deep sigh as he adjusted the collar of my shirt before moving away from me.‘‘Go to sleep, Celestine...’’ he said and I stared at him in disbelief.What the hell? Why was he telling me to sleep? Was he not interested in making love with me?‘‘Sleep…?’’ I inquired, smiling at him in a way that suggested my disappointment.‘‘Yeah...’’ he said, shrugging. ‘‘You did mention that you were feeling a little tired, didn't you? It would be best if you could go to bed early tonight..."He got up from the bed and helped me lay down again, at which point he covered me with the quilt.‘‘Get some rest, Celestine…’’ he ordered as he turned his back

    CELESTINE's P O V‘‘You’re really good, I must say…’’ Allen increased the pressure he applied to my chest by pressing the gun's tip into it. ‘‘So… in such a short amount of time, you were able to persuade this man. But take a look at what you've created. Because of you, he lost his life...’’Then he laughed and threw his head back in exaggeration.‘‘And his wife is likely to die soon because of you…’’ I felt like crying as soon as I thought of his wife, remembering how my mom suffered in her illness as well. She’s going to die because of me, because I let her husband die, and no one would be taking care of her.‘‘Allen…’’ I mumbled something, and as I did so, my hand stretched out to grab his gun, but he swatted it away. ‘‘I… I’m your sister, too...’’I had high hopes that he would take what I had to say into consideration, but judging by the disgusted expression on his face, it appeared like it won’t work at all.‘‘What did you say?’’ His brows furrowed, and I instinctively jerked ba

    LEINA's P O VMy eyes snapped open, and the first thing that met my gaze was the surface of the room's ceiling.I rolled onto my side in the hopes of finding Arnold asleep next to me, but he’s not here and he’s nowhere to be found. The fact that the bed was cold indicated that he didn’t sleep in this room with me.Where might he be? Why did he not return back here in the room at any point during the night? Did he figure out that this was me, and not Celestine?I compelled myself to sit up and furiously shook my head. Why do I have to fill my mind with unnecessary thoughts?Be positive, Leina… It's possible that the overwhelming amount of work he had to complete caused him to nod off at the library. My sanity completely unraveled realizing how I loved Arnold so much.And the thought of him loving Celestine only served to inflame the hatred I already felt for her within my heart. I will never let her come back in the villa again. I will never allow her to be back into Arnold’s arms ever

    LEINA’s P O V‘‘Where can I find Celestine?’’ Arnold questioned me once again, and as I leaned my back against the door, I noticed that my knees were beginning to feel weak.I felt like I was going to pass out when I saw the way he was glaring at me, and I couldn't stop my legs from shaking as he slowly came closer to me with heavy steps after he got up from the sofa.However, I still forced myself to lean against the door as I slowly stood up straight, my chin held high, so as to make myself look less embarrassed.Arnold came to a stop directly in front of me, and just as my stomach began to churn with anxiety, he suddenly slammed his palm on the door, which caused me to scream and to cover my ears with my hands in fear. My pulse was pounding and it felt as if all of my blood was rushing through my veins at once. It was as if every part of my body screamed because I didn't want him to get any closer to me.‘‘Where can I find Celestine?’’ This was the third time he asked me, and his v

    ARNOLD's P O V‘‘Wasn't she the woman you’re going to marry?’’ Leina's voice jolted me out of my reverie as she continued. ‘‘How could you find another woman so quickly to replace the one you loved?’’I have no idea why Leina brought up Enid out of the blue, but I could tell by the look in her eyes that she was envious. It's impossible for me to tell whether she's feeling it toward Celestine or Enid, but I can definitely say that it was for the both of them.‘‘I thought you said that you want to love her until the end of time...’’ It appeared as though she had lost track of the primary topic, and she rapidly changed the conversation to focus on Enid. ‘‘I am carrying her heart within me... and I have the same face as Celestine… but why can’t you love me, Arnold?’’Then, all of a sudden, she clenched her fists to her chest, and fresh tears began streaming down her face.‘‘Are you aware that Enid's heart is bleeding right now? Don't you care at all? Huh, Arnold?!’’I was so impressed by

    CELESTINE's P O VAs I gave the man a cold and calculating look, I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks. The air felt colder as I fear for what was about to come next.‘‘Hey! Why are you shedding those tears?’’ Luca gave me a sly grin as he brushed his fingers lightly across my cheeks and wiped away my tears, which caused me to recoil in revulsion. ‘‘Baby girl… you have such a wonderful body to go, along with that beautiful face...’’ Then, while smiling, his thumb lightly stroked my quivering bottom lip. ‘‘Your lips are so incredibly gentle. I wonder how it would feel to kiss these lips...’’He was about to lean in closer to me when I bit his thumb making him scream aloud.‘‘Let go of his finger!’’ Brad smacked me across the face, but I didn't move and instead bit his finger more forcefully. I could taste blood on the corner of my lips, and another tear escaped from my eye due to the pain Brad inflicted me.Luca screamed even louder when he realized that I had no intention of relea

It was him who ordered to do this, please…’’Allen Wheeler!Fuck him!‘‘I want you to show me what you did!’’ When I said it, my voice was shaking slightly. I was curious about the extent of the damage they caused to Celestine. I wanted to know what kind of abuse they had put her through.‘‘W-what?’’ He was stunned, and his eyes flicked over to his friend who was lying unconscious on the ground. His friend's hands had been wrapped in cloth in an effort to prevent further bleeding.‘‘I’m telling you to show me what you did!’’ Because I was growing frustrated, I gave him a powerful kick to the face, which caused him to stumble and fall to the ground; nevertheless, he quickly rose

I could have instructed the helpers to get additional food and cook it for you…’’It came to my attention that my father took the initiative to speak while wearing a very animated expression on his face. It appeared as though he was unaware that I had been taken captive by his favorite daughter.‘‘Where’s my sister?’’ I inquired, my sharp look cutting through him like a knife.Jason, who had been helping me stand up straight, was replaced by Arnold, and he took my arm and hooked it around his, causing me to freeze in my spot. I saw from my peripheral vision that Jason walked out of the house, leaving me with Arnold.‘‘Uh… your sister…?’’ He garbled his words. ‘‘She... she isn't feeling well… Yes! She’s not feeling very well right now, so she has gone to her room to rest for a while…’’‘‘Not feeling well?’’ I inquired in a soft voice while ra

  • Win His Ex-Wife Back!   Chapter 322 EPILOGUE

    JULIAN’s P O VAunt Olivia insisted that Cynthia must first complete her education, and give birth to our child before she allowed us to get married. And I felt worried about Cynthia because I was aware that she was waiting for this moment. Even though she wasn’t voicing it out, I could sense that she was expecting me to propose to her, for us to build our own family, but Auntie asked me not to let Cynthia know about our agreement.After seven months, Cynthia gave birth to a healthy baby boy who she gave the name Mark Julian. And while I was occupied with the expansion of the business that Arnold had requested me to handle, Cynthia continued her studies.Finally, Cynthia graduated and I’ve never been so proud of her. I believed that as a result of all of the things she went through, she got more matured. She never complained about the fact that I did not offer her marriage.When it was time for Cynthia to get her graduation present from me---it’s not exactly a graduation present, but

    CYNTHIA's P O VAt this moment, tears were beginning to run down my face. I couldn’t keep them at bay. Now that it was almost certain that I’m losing this baby.I may not know a lot about pregnancy, but I knew that bleeding was a bad sign.As soon as we entered the emergency room, an array of questions and answers ensued, and I answered them to the best of my ability, while my parents and Julian were listening attentively. Julian refused to let go of my hand even when I was wheeled back toward a room and directed to strip for an ultrasound.The nurse stopped Julian when he was about to enter the changing room, insisting that he wanted to help me change into a hospital gown. ‘‘I can help her, Sir. Just stay with her parents outside…’’Julian did not immediately follow the nurse after initially hesitating, but he did so eventually. Soon after, he began to loosen his grip on my hand before leaving completely.My parents sat in a chair along the far right wall, and Julian stood a few feet

  • Win His Ex-Wife Back!   Chapter 320 MOVING ON.

    CYNTHIA's P O VTWO MONTHS LATERI groaned as I sat up in bed and stretched my arms. A quick look at the clock that was sitting on my nightstand revealed to me that nightfall would arrive sooner. How long have I been dozing off?These past few days, my normal pattern of sleeping has been thrown off. Simply put, I was mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point where I lost track of time because of it. Even though my parents, Arnold, and Celestine regularly checked on me every once in a while, one of the harmful things I'd been doing was spending most of my time alone in my room. This was another habit I'd gotten into.They have been monitoring the media, calling people and giving them orders, as well as discussing the situation with the authorities. They would act wary every time I descended the stairs, as if they didn't want me to hear about those fucked up news again.I never heard from Julian again after that day. I was aware that his wedding took place last month, but none of

    CYNTHIA's P O VNothing could have prepared me for the crushing agony I experienced when my mom told me that Julian had departed without even alerting me, or even bidding farewell to me before he flew back to France. Nor could anything have prepared me for the profound sense of loss that caused my heart to tighten, leading me to believe that it was going to cease beating altogether.Even though I was aware, on some level, that he was meant to return and marry her, the fact that he did still hurt. How could he? How, after making love to me? After I had already given him everything? After stroking my hair until I fell asleep? After spending so much time gazing at me with that breathtaking smile? How could he love her and marry her still?There was a painful lump that was lodged in my throat, and it was making it difficult for me to even breathe. In addition to this, I had to fight against my tear ducts in order to keep from crying in front of my family because of him. In total honesty,

    CYNTHIA's P O VThe moment the door to the Maxwell villa opened, I was met with a resounding slap across the face from my irate mother.‘‘Aunt Olivia…’’ When she raised her hand to slap me again, Julian attempted to stop her, but she instead hit Julian which caused my eyes to widen in shock.‘‘Don't address me like that, you have no connection to any of us anymore!’’ she said through gritted teeth, a threatening tone was used as she glared at him.It appeared as though everything around me had come to a stop. I blinked back the tears that was on the verge of falling down my cheek. ‘‘Mom…’’Did Arnold tell her about us?‘‘What are your intentions with regard to my daughter?’’ She asked Julian while completely ignoring me. ‘‘Do you intend to take him as your mistress?’’‘‘No, I…’’‘‘There is no future for the two of you, and even if you leave the woman who will soon become your wife, I won't let you have my daughter!’’ And she smacked his face once more, which prompted me to push her aw

    CYNTHIA’s P O VJulian grabbed the shower head, turning on the water. He pointed it at me and he made sure to let it pour all over my body, until every inch of me was soaked. ‘‘I’ll take it that it will make you behave…’’‘‘Uhmmm…’’ I agreed mindlessly, not really listening to a single word he uttered, for I was too busy gawking at his dripping wet physique. I could feel my lids becoming heavy, my veins burning under my skin as pure sexual desire course through them.Unwittingly, without even noticing it, I kneeled in front of him, coming face to face with his semi-hard shaft, but before I could even touch it, he grabbed my shoulders firmly. ‘‘Get up before I fuck you again…’’‘‘But I want you to fuck me again…’’ I protested with a pout, still resting on my knees.He chuckled amusedly, lightly shaking his head. ‘‘Come on, Cynthia, we’ve got to go…’’But I didn’t listen, I remained still.Julian decided to bring his arm under my armpits and pick me up against my will, laying small kiss

    CYNTHIA’s P O V‘‘Do you think that somebody was listening to us?’’ I inquired anxiously as fear began to course through my veins.Julian gave a dismissive shake of his head before rising to his feet and reaching for the bathrobe that was still hanging on the door of the bathroom. ‘‘No, the rooms are soundproofed. You stay here...’’ he covered himself and left the room.But I couldn’t mind my business in a situation like this. I rolled out of bed and took a fluffy bath towel, wrapping it around my body before following him towards the living area.From the other side of the slightly open door, I could hear a feminine voice. ‘‘Uhmm, Hi… I mean, good morning. I was wondering if you saw Cynthia---’’I rudely pushed Julian out of the way and came face to face with Stef, who let out a sigh of relief upon seeing me.‘‘Oh, Cynthia… I was worried about you!’’I smiled at her and placed a kiss on her cheek. ‘‘Well, as you can see, I’m good…’’ I then stepped closer to her so that she would be a

    CYNTHIA’s P O VI completely let myself go, carelessly giving up on trying to hold myself up and completely leaning against his tall, manly frame. ‘‘Oh, fuck…’’ I moaned as I gripped his hair and pulled on it, moving his head and craning my neck so that our lips would touch. I immediately opened my mouth, allowing his tongue to slip inside.Julian added a second finger into my tight canal, starting to thrust harder. ‘‘You’re such a sexy little thing, aren’t you...?’’ he pulled his hand away and brought his fingers which were coated in my juices, to his mouth, sucking them clean before he picked me up and walked back to the bedroom, letting me fall onto the bed, and then followed me immediately.I pushed him down onto the sheets and got on top of him, hovering over his rock hard member. ‘‘Do you want me…?’’ I inquired in a hushed tone as I took both of his hands in mine and placed them on my waist.He nodded with his mouth agape, looking up at me with full of desire and appreciation.‘

    JULIAN’s P O VThere was something unbelievably intimate about waking up next to someone, especially when that someone was the one you love.Strips of golden sunlight shone into the room and Cynthia managed to wrap herself around most of my thin sheets.I woke up with my arm lay across her stomach and her head was tucked into my bare chest. We hadn’t bothered dressing ourselves after last night’s events, as we had already seen every inch of each other.Also we were exhausted, that we had drifted to sleep after another heated kiss.Cynthia stirred slightly, which brought me back from recalling what brought us here, and buried her head further into my chest while placing a hand onto my torso.But all of this felt so wrong, since everyone around see us as cousins, and in addition to that, I am already getting married.But then, why did last night feel so right? And why did her touch alone light my body on fire?I knew that my old self would think otherwise, but Cynthia and I couldn’t hap
