Because I Love You Chapter Fourteen
“Uhmm…we are not going up the stairs, are we?” Celine had to ask. The twin marble stairs rose up before her like an endless rise to places she would never reach. Intimidating was the word to describe them.Ricco gave her an amused look. “Sure we are. That’s where Sir Williams’s wing of the estate is.”Unease settled into Celine’s stomach. She’d felt anxious ever since her encounter with Alicia, Williams’s fiancé and the queen of the castle in her own right.Ricco observed her face before understanding dawned over his own.“You must’ve met Alicia Darlings already.”Celine blushed. “I didn’t mean to go snooping around. I was simply looking for you after Williams dismissed me. Speaking of Alicia, she didn’t seem particularly happy to see me, and I understand that. I don’t want any other confrontation between us.”“Relax, Miss Celine. You are a guest of Sir Williams and you have as much right to be here as anyone else.”“It’s just that I don’t want to cause any misunderstanding between th

Williams made it all the way up the stairs to his wing of the estate before he stopped.Celine was somewhere up there, and he couldn’t face her in such a vulnerable state. The last time he had let his emotions get the better of him, he had planted a kiss on her lips. A kiss he couldn’t forget. He also couldn’t stop thinking of the way she’d felt between his body and the wall. Perfect. Alluring. Dangerous.He needed to keep a clear head around her. No love or lust something was needed. No emotions required except the desire to know her secret, to unravel her. He knew she was hiding something. The look on her face when he had asked her about her true identity was proof enough. He also had to know what her relationship was with Natasha.That was the chief reason why he had brought her to this estate. Nothing more or less. It wasn’t because he felt sorry for her. Certainly not because of the heat she ignited in his body whenever he saw her. He needed her safe until he had dug up everythin

Alicia stared away from his face as she tried to compose herself. Tried to regain her confidence, but Williams was not letting her off easy. “I’ve known you for almost a year now and we’ve been engaged for a couple of months. In all this time we have had no intimacy of any kind. We never spoke about being exclusive during our courtship but having sex with my older half brother is something I can’t tolerate.” Alicia shrugged. “It was just that one time—” “That one time at the hotels, his house, the estate, the club, the beach house…those one time?” “Did you pay someone to follow me and keep tabs of my actions?” “No, I didn’t have to do that. The two of you were not so secretive about your affair. People saw you together. People talk about such things.” Her face hardened. “Alright, we have been sleeping together for some time. And so what? It was just sex between us. Nothing emotional or deep.” “His wife and daughter would disagree to that, Alicia.” “I never seduced him. He appro

Back at the restaurant, Alicia Darlings was livid. So angry she was that her breath came out in hot wafts from her lungs.How could he do this to her? Who did he think he was? Yes, he was the most richest and handsome man in the country, but so what? She was rich too. She was beyond beautiful. How dare him reject her like that?Alicia stared down at the diamond ring on her finger. Her engagement ring that she never failed to flaunt with pride whenever she went out with the girls. They all knew who her man was, and they were all jealous of her. Williams Herringbone was the perfect Alpha male of them all.She could remember the day he proposed. Yes, she had known it was all a contract marriage for business purpose, but him popping the ‘will you marry me?’ question had brought tears to her eyes. Alright, truth he told, she had had an interest in Williams before he even came into the picture. That was why she had suggested that her father make marriage to her a term of the contract.Many

Celine yawned widely and snuggled deeper into the bed. She turned around to face the high canopy of the bed before opening her eyes.“Now, that’s what you call a nap.” She announced with a satisfied smile on her face.Other times, she normally woke up from sleep screaming because of the nightmares that plagued her. Almost every time she closed her eyes, the memories and recollections of horrible things came pouring into her mind like a broken dam releasing torrents of dirty water.The constant nightmares had started immediately after the accident. The dream was always the same one but with little changes sometimes. That was why Celine only allowed herself to sleep when tired. Naps were a no go area for her. The demons of her past allowed her no respite at all.She yawned again, and sat up to look outside. The evening sky was clear and cloudless, with the sun just lowering below the trees of the horizon. It would soon be dark. Her first night at Castle-lake estate was almost upon her.

Williams stared into Celine’s face. She looked both flushed and unnerved at the same time.“What is it?” He fisted his arms at his sides. This was all he could do to prevent himself from touching her. He had a strange urge to return the strands of hair in front of her face back to the nook behind her ear. He wanted to rub her shoulders gently as he did only a few hours ago when she had been asleep. The want-to-do list was too long for comfort.She didn’t reply. Rather she glanced at the balcony railing before looking away from his face, her cheeks going red again.Williams moved close to the railings and stared down. He knew what must’ve spooked her immediately. All he saw was the tail end of a white Lamborghini as it inched down the long driveway out of the compound, but it was enough.“Now I know why he looked a little familiar.” Celine joined him at the railings. “He is your brother.”“Kellan is my half brother.”Celine smiled wryly. “Sounds the same to me.” She sighed dramat
Because I Love You Chapter Twenty.
That night, in a two story apartment building on a gloomy street in the more industrial part of the city, Cracked-teeth was on high alert.His real name was Gary Montez, and he had been friends with Vaughn since their childhood days on the streets of a tiny village in Spain. Together they’d done it all: from street fights, to petty theft, drift racing and the likes. When Vaughn had chosen Snowville as his next base, Gary had tagged along. Why not? Vaughn was the only family he knew.Gary clutched the grip of the shotgun tightly, fighting the urge to shed tears like a baby. Vaughn was dead. Gary didn’t want to believe it, but it was all over the news. It was all the bloody newscasters would talk about for days. The police had found his lifeless body in the alley….Gary couldn’t remember much about what had happened in the alley last night. Ok, backtrack to the restaurant. The puny pretty girl had made Vaughn angry. He had then suggested that they ambush her on her way back from work
Because I Love You Chapter Twenty-One.
Wake up, sleepy head.Gary had the strangest sensation that he was at the bottom of a very deep pool. A murky pool that made it hard for him to swim out. He tried to move his arms but couldn’t. His legs were as hard as lead and equally numb.I’m not going to ask again. I have many ways to pull you out of sleep. You are not going to like any of them.It was that deep voice…the same voice he had heard before passing out. The voice was cold and emotionless, like the monotone of an AI robot.Gary cracked his eyes open and knives pierced through his head causing him to gasp in pain. His head throbbed. Everywhere throbbed as if he had been run over by a car.Through his blurry vision, he found out that he was sitting on a chair at the center of his apartment. His arms were tied painfully behind his back and his legs…he couldn’t feel them anymore because of lack of blood flow to them.The carpet had been rolled away to reveal the wood paneling of the floor.
