CELESTINE’s POV

When I thought about Leina, my twin sister and the person who had killed my mother, I came to a complete stop. She deserved to be punished! She deserved to be hurt just as much as she hurt my mom! She didn't bother herself or show any care about our mother at all. She only cared for this man, Arnold Maxwell!

After having that thought, I glanced back and saw that Arnold was still looking at me with his brows furrowed. The hatred I had been feeling transformed into a sly grin on my face.

‘‘Arnold…’’ I whispered as I took a step forward and pressed my body against his. My arms were wrapped around his neck, and I felt like I was going to burst out laughing when I felt him stiffen even though his icy eyes darkened. ‘‘Is it really true that you were a virgin?’’

He groaned as he brought his fingers up to my chin and cupped it. ‘‘Do you want to die, hmmm?’’

‘‘Awww… Did I hit a nerve, Mr. Arnold Maxwell?’’ I smiled alluringly and wiggled my eyebrows in a teasing manner. ‘‘It’s

    CELESTINE’s POV‘‘What are you up to?’’ I yelled as I leaned back against the tree where Arnold put me down from carrying me on his shoulder. ‘‘What are you trying to do to me?’’Why haven't they arrived at this point? I was under the impression that as soon as Leina saw the photo that I had sent to her, they would come and look for us. Why are they taking such a long time?Arnold didn't answer me. His gaze moved down from my face, first focusing on my eyes, then moving on to my lips, as if conducting an examination of me.I was caught off guard when his mouth immediately captured mine, opening my lips with his thrusting tongue.I wanted to put up a fight against him because of my pride, but my traitorous body was so responsive. I pressed my hands on his chest, ready to push him away. However… to my surprise, they slowly moved up from his chest all the way to his nape, surrendering to him.I gasped when he took off my coat and eased the straps of my dress aside, exposing my breasts.

    CELESTINE’s P O VI felt Arnold collapse on the dry leaves next to me. He appeared as though he was just completed a marathon based on the rate at which he was breathing. I rolled over onto my side and turned my back on him as he gazed at me.This shouldn’t happen…It was a mistake…I provoked him, and he did it…And I let him…I just let him…I slowly raised myself to my feet and looked around for my underwear. When I finally found it, I let out a sigh of relief, and then I quickly picked it up and put it on. I was acutely aware that Arnold was observing me the entire time, and I was unable to control the amount of redness that appeared on my face.I left him and started to make my way back to where the yacht was docked, and I nervously chewed on my lower lip. What would Leina so if she sees me? I knew she would embarrass me in front of her friends, in front of Julian.Suddenly, a loud thunderclap caused me to stop in my tracks. When I looked up, I noticed that the sky was much darke

    CELESTINE’s POV‘‘When did you get bitten by a snake?’’ I shrieked, feeling so panic. My voice was obviously a little frantic and worried.How did this happen? When did this happen?‘‘I’m fine!” Arnold snapped, pulling his hand back from my grasp, and his voice was unusually calm.I frowned, thinking if I had missed any details, and that’s when I recalled how he pulled me tight in a hug earlier, when the snake was ready to attack me.‘‘Did you block the snake for me?’’ I looked at him in shock. That was the only thing I could think of why he had bitten by a snake. Why did he even do that? Why did he save me?‘‘Don’t think too much, Celestine…’’ he sneered. ‘‘Why would I even make myself hurt just because of you…?’’‘‘Whatever!’’ I grabbed his hand again, examining the marks that ruined his beautiful calloused hand, and grazed it with my thumb. I couldn’t help but feel worried about him. What if it’s poisonous and the venom was already scattered all over his body?Oh my God! I have to

    ARNOLD'S P O VAfter an hour… the rain finally started to let up, and I watched as Celestine, who had been sitting in front of the fire, got up and stretched out her limbs, her slightly wet dress sticking at her chest making me swallow and look away.‘‘Let's go and check outside!’’ she chirped as she shifted her gaze to look at me in the eye. ‘‘They are supposed to be coming over here any minute now to fetch you up...’’‘‘Me?’’ I frowned. ‘‘What about you?’’‘‘They’re more concerned about you, Arnold. That’s a fact!’’I let out a deep sigh, remained seated there as I watched her make her way out of the cave. I shook my head and got up, following her out pretty quickly after a while.Oceania City was in every sense a part of the ocean. The rain fell almost as fast as it had come down. The initially dark sky gradually became brighter, and before long… clear blue skies were visible in the sky above.I didn’t pay any attention to what was going on around me; rather, I concentrated my atte

    CELESTINE’s POVAfter noticing the wound on Arnold's hand, Leina didn’t waste any time in getting a medical professional to examine him as soon as we got back into the hotel.Arnold was bitten by what the doctor described as a run-of-the-mill species of snake. It was not a poisonous substance. After I was certain that he was no longer in danger, I started to leave the clinic room, but I was stopped by a voice just as I was about to exit.‘‘It's now past lunchtime, but none of us have had anything to eat yet...’’ Arnold said as his voice became increasingly audible to me as I stood at the doorway with my back turned to everyone else. ‘‘Celestine… I am aware that you’re both hungry and exhausted. Let's go to the restaurant together and get something to eat…’’‘‘But, Arnold... There’s something that Julian had prepared for her, and he intends to eat with her in her room… right, Julian?’’ It was clear from the tone of her voice that she was aggravated by what Arnold had said.As I turned

I wished they never came to save us. I wanted to have more time with Celestine. I wanted to get to know her better.When we got back to the hotel, everyone around us showed worry for me, but Julian was the only one who was concerned about Celestine. He was the only one who cared about her. Somehow, I felt thankful that there’s my cousin who’s taking care of her, but I don’t know why I felt something deep inside me. Like I was hurt… Like I was jealous of him.And Leina… when she cried in my arms, she refused to even look at her sister. And as I gazed upon her flawless neck, I balled my hands into fists, increasing the level of rage I felt toward her. I have to know the truth as soon as possible.‘‘We’re hungry and exhausted…’’ I answered as

Well, your wish is my command, my dear. We’re going home…’’‘‘But…’’‘‘Wait a minute!’’ At that moment, Julian suddenly appeared and it seemed as though he also heard about me leaving the island as soon as possible. ‘‘We haven't given this location a proper check just yet! How can you leave so soon?’’

I used the money that Arnold paid me to get Jenny a private room for her to stay while she’s unconscious.I slept on the couch while Blake slept on the chair beside Jenny’s bed, with his head propped up on it. Jenny hasn’t woken up yet when I left the hospital to confront my father.I took a taxi to bring me to the Wheeler Mansion and as Nadia opened the door for me, there was a wide smile plastered on her lips. However… it was soon faded away and she seemed confused as she stared at me.‘‘Miss Leina…?’’ She inquired, and I couldn't help but smirk. I was still wearing one of the signature dresses that Julian bought for me so Nadia was a little uncertain of who I was.I don’t have time to talk to her, so I shoved her aside and went directly to the hall.I looked all around the living room, but I couldn't find my father. Instead, several wealthy ladies were

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.

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
