CELESTINE's P O V

Uncle Karl and I left the ward and went to sit on the bench in the lobby. I couldn't stop the tears from falling out of my eyes as he comforted me.

‘‘Celestine…’’ Uncle Karl grabbed my hand, choking on his sobs as well. ‘‘Don’t cry… It makes me sad to see you in such distress, my dear...’’

‘‘But you’re crying, too…’’ I said, my voice shaking.

The sight of Tom's son sobbing over his father's lifeless body brought back memories of when my own mother passed away. And the realization that Victor had murdered my mother's parents caused me to cry even more loudly.

‘‘Tom is a nice person, but because of your father…’’ he sighed, wiping his tears away.

‘‘Uncle Karl…’’ I whispered, as I looked at him. I suddenly felt scared, realizing on how Victor just took someone’s life as easy as that.

‘‘There's no need to be afraid now...’’ he said to me as he gently ran his fingers through my hair. ‘‘I'm here. I promise that I will never leave your side... I will always protect you my d

    CELESTINE's P O VWhen I got back to the Maxwell villa, it was already well past twelve in the midnight hour, and the only people who were still up were the servants.As I headed my way up to our room, they greeted me with a bow, and I smiled and nodded, acknowledging their greetings.I opened the door to the room, and I observed that there was just a single lamp glowing softly, and Arnold had already fallen asleep; yet, the warm light made Arnold's face look extraordinarily appealing. He had the appearance of a handsome statue, and his appeal had a way of irresistibly drawing people in.After entering the room and pushing the door softly close behind me, I followed my feet into the bathroom to freshen myself with a quick shower.I experienced motion sickness, and having to fly back and forth in one day left me feeling even more weary.I then headed towards the couch after finishing drying my hair with the clean towel. I desperately needed some sleep.To my surprise, though, I found t

    CELESTINE's P O VThere’s only one day remaining until the public auction that was scheduled to be held by the Maxwell Group. I had finally registered the company, and there was a lot to do at this moment, so I'd been very busy and didn’t have much time to rest.Over the course of the previous two days, I went to more than a dozen different manufacturers. It was either that they were too small or that they didn’t have sufficient samples. Some of them weren't even interested in participating in the competition.I had been dealing with these factories on a daily basis, but at this point… I didn't have enough time to do so because the auction is scheduled to take place tomorrow.Because I was so exhausted, I went to the closest coffee shop and ordered cold brew coffee latte.While I was sitting, waiting for my order to arrive, a breaking news appeared on the screen of the television. I was completely taken aback by this piece of information when a reporter showed and provided an update r

    CELESTINE's P O VI stepped out of the taxi while continuing to call Arnold for the ninth time already, and this time he answered his phone, which made me let out a breath of relief; yet, I still couldn't help but feel angry at him.‘‘Why aren't you picking up my calls?’’ I let out a snarl the second I heard him breathe over the phone. When I looked up at the tall and magnificent structure in front of me, I couldn't help but admire how beautiful it was, as if it were the king standing proud in the city.One day, I hope to be the proud owner of a building — nay, structures that are just as majestic as this one!‘‘Where are you?’’ he asked, instead of answering my query.‘‘I have arrived at your...’’ I was unable to continue what I was going to say because I saw him standing right in front of me at the entrance of the building, grinning broadly at me while holding his phone up to his ear.‘‘Let’s go?’’ he said, coming over to me to me, and extending his arm after he hung up the phone.‘

    ARNOLD's P O VIt felt like time had stopped moving as I stared at Celestine in shock.Did she just say, she will make love to me in order to win the contract and defeat her father?While I stared at her in bewilderment, my mind unconsciously filled with images of her body, my hand that had been holding the glass of wine, hovered mid-air and shook a bit in sudden excitement.It’s been so long since the last time I made love to her, and I couldn’t wait to feel her, kiss her, and touch her with my hands again…She steadied herself by biting her lips together and fixing her gaze intently on mine. I could tell that she was taking this matter very seriously; And even if I had to decline her offer, she would still insist on it, and I have to admit that I was always waiting for it to take place.‘‘Are you... willing to help me?’’ She inquired with a voice that was a little weak, and her eyes seemed to glance at me in an alluring manner.She sounded like a cute little kitten, rubbing her itty

    CELESTINE's P O VAs soon as we stepped inside our bedroom, Arnold immediately locked the door behind him. When I looked at him, I didn't realize that he was staring at me intently, and as I did so, I couldn't help but feel nervous, and then awkwardness started to fill the air.I cleared my throat, and with my trembling knees, I slowly moved towards the desk and set down my handbag.‘‘Are you going to take a shower first?’’ Arnold inquired, and I was completely taken aback as I stood there with my back turned to him, biting my lip.This is really happening…‘‘Aren’t you going to swim tonight?’’ I responded with a question while fumbling around in my bag, seeming to be busy but actually looking for nothing in particular.‘‘No…’’ he mumbled, his voice becoming husky as he spoke. ‘‘I need to save some energy…’’I stood there dumbfounded for a moment before taking a few slow, deep breaths in order to compose myself. ‘‘Okay… I'm going to get cleaned up first...’’Before I made my way to th

    CELESTINE's P O VBaby? Why was he calling me, baby?‘‘Are you sure you want to help me?’’ I cocked my eyebrows in his direction as I continued to look at him. I was having a hard time accepting the fact that he was doing this for me.I wasn't an idiot at all.From what we had discussed earlier, I was able to draw the reasonable conclusion that even if he was not the CEO of WW Group, he must nonetheless play an important and powerful role in the organization.Was he truly going to assist me, despite the fact that doing so, could potentially reveal his identity?Was worth it?‘‘You're my wife...’’ He sighed, and looked at me as if he knew what was going through my head at that particular moment. ‘‘I'm going to do everything in my power to help you. I can't bear to see you being mistreated once more, my dear wife...’’I just stared at him, unable to speak. At this very moment, he gave off the impression of being an entirely different person.I felt like there was no way for me to see th

    ARNOLD's P O VI was busy studying the documents for tomorrow's auction, when I heard the door of the bathroom open, and when I lifted my head, I saw Celestine walk out of the bathroom with her bare feet, and her body was only wrapped in a small towel.Her silky and milky-white skin glistened in the light, and I had to force myself not to swallow as my eyes lingered over her slender neck, her elegant shoulders, and her beautifully sculpted collar bones. She looked so beautiful that it made me want to kiss her all over and every inch of her at the very moment.It was almost as if she was a celestial being that had been cast down from the heavens.‘‘Come here…’’ I asked her to come closer to me so that I could tell her that I had already found a company for her, and that the company was WW Group, one of the largest companies that I owned.Celestine, on the other hand, was hesitant to approach me; she had a firm grip on the towel in both of her hands, and I could tell that she was experi

I had actually seduced him, and it seemed that he had enjoyed it, because when I opened my eyes this morning… he was looking at me with a grin playing around on his lips.In an effort to cover up my shame, I quickly stood up and dashed into the shower room. I blamed everything that occurred the previous night on the whisky I had consumed, and I promised myself not to drink ever again.‘‘Didn't mom tell you that I spent the past few days in Paris with several of my close friends?’’ Cynthia interrupted my train of thinking by saying something. ‘‘Celestine, come with me... I bought a lot of items for you! I

    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

    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
