Chapter 9

Celeste's Pov

I looked around, so many thoughts flashing through my mind, but the top most was where was I?

Looking around once more, I spotted a lady dressed in white fetching water from a stream.

Wait, why didn't I see this stream before?

Not stopping, I allowed my legs to move to where she was, and I tapped her; she raised her head to look at me, and I froze.

I could feel my heart beat against my chest, and it felt like my ribs couldn't hold them in anymore.

She looked at me, her eyes fawning and her lips curved upwards as she dropped the water pot in her hands and stared at me, hands clasped.

"Cl-C-Clara?" I mumbled so unsure.

My whole body felt weak, and I could hear a voice telling me that this wasn't real, but I wasn't going to buy it; I had hope.

I stretched forward to grab her hand, but she stepped backwards sharply, her gentle face now looking a bit stren.

    Celeste's PovDropping the pillows in my hands and making sure that I looked okay enough, I walked out of the room, stretching my head down to see her glaring at me angrily."Come down here!" She scolded.A side of my lips curved upwards at the disrespect."Why do you shout so loudly? We are not all deaf, you know?" I stuck my fingers into my ears, creating the illusion of cleaning my ears.She blinked her eyes, swallowing the lump in her throat, and I smirked, staring at her blank expression."Mother," Alex's baritone voice sounded behind me.I turned my gaze to him, briefly glancing at him, before turning back to face Angela."Son, son, son," she called out approaching him.Alex adjusted his hand to hold Ethan very well and then stroked his hair to induce sleep."Mom, reduce your voice," he cautioned."Son," She called out again, her voice subtle."You need to see what Clara has done," She unzipped her bag and brought out an envelope.Still staring at her, she opened the envelope an

    Celeste's PovI rushed into the room where Ethan was staying, seeing a needle pierced into Ethan's hand, I felt a sting in my heart."Mommy, did something happen?" He asked, his round eyes widening as they stared at me inquisitively.I sighed in relief, forcing a smile to mask my anger as I approached him."Ethan, baby, how are you feeling now?" I questioned, my eyes watching him closely to know that he was in pain."Mommy, I do not like how I feel. I want to play with Daddy, but I feel so tired and funny," he reported.My fists clenched tightly as the idea of how an adult could drag her own grandson into adult war baffled me."Mommy, is Daddy mad at us again?" My brows furrowed hearing his question.I sat down on the stool beside him and stroked his hair."Ethan, who told you that?" The image of Angela flashed through my mind as I asked.Ethan shook his head vigorously, "Daddy isn't here right now," he observed.I could feel a slight squeeze in my heart. I wanted to defend Alex, but

    Celeste's POVI sat down, trying to think back on if I was mistaken.No, I could not have mistaken something as important as that, Clara lived poorly and the bracelet she was buried with was the only wealth she had.A part of me had always wondered why she never sold that bracelet despite her struggles and that was also the reason why I was pleased to know that she was buried with it.It belonged to her, she had an immense value for it.Taking deep breaths, it was suddenely as if the air in the room was stuffy, I rested my head on the head rest trying to regain some strength when I heard my door flung open and hurried footsteps.Quickly and skillfully, I tucked the photo under my pillow, opening my eyes softly to see Alex looking disheaveld with a frown on his face.I sat straight ready to question him when he rushed closr to me, "Something is wrong with Ethan, I-I-I- don't know what to do."His lips quivered as he spoke.I got up with all the strength I could mutter and rushed to Eth

  • Behind The Closed Doors: The Billionaire’s Secret.   Chapter five

    Celeste POVThe door shut with a gentle sound, but the click felt deafening in my ears. My heart was still beating fast, echoing the fire left behind on my lips. Alexander’s kiss stole something from me, something I thought I’d buried with Clara.I stood stuck in a spot, leaning the edge of the mahogany bookshelf for support. My legs weren’t shaking, no, they shouldn't be. I can’t allow it. Not here. Not when I’d come this far. Not after six years of well constructed plans.But the truth lingered in my chest.He kissed me.And I had kissed him back.It wasn’t supposed to happen like that. I had come here for revenge, not this. Not stolen heat beneath bitter silence. Not the thrill of being seen, not the ache of being touched.I closed my eyes tightly and breathed deep, willing the tremor out of my bones. Alexander still thought I was Clara, his once meek housemaid turned resentful ghost. And I needed it to stay that way, at least for now. He couldn’t know the truth. If he did, everyt
