"Mommy, why are we moving again?"

The little girl with long curly brown hair sat on the car seat beside her mom, who is busy working on her laptop.

“It’s because I found a beautiful house here for Celeste,” Cecilia answered her daughter, Celeste.

"Oh, why, Mommy? You don't like our house in Franth?"

Cecilia could only force a smile, unable to answer her daughter.

What happened to them is too complicated to explain to a five-year-old.

Six years have passed, and they have never settled down. They are always on the move. And now, they are in their fifth country.

With the help of Matthias, she got in contact with her maternal grandfather, Elliot Basset, who also cut her off because of her involvement with the Millers. He did not like how she chose to stay with the Millers after her whole family died. Despite telling Cecilia about how much he disliked the Miller family, she blindly defended them.

He already has suspicions about what the old woman from the Miller family wanted from Car

  • Celeste's Mommy Runs Away    Chapter 18: Race Day

    "Ellen, what just happened there?!" Aleck screamed after they got kicked out of the restaurant. Out in the streets of Monte Carlo, Ellen looked disheveled with her hair covering her face. She could not believe that the restaurant would not give them face and just casually tossed them out to the streets. It was extremely humiliating. Especially after so many people have seen their disgraceful faces getting dragged by security. No matter how many times they shouted that they are from the infamous Verro family, the security simply did not care. Whether it was a prince or an ordinary person, they would not tolerate such vulgar actions. For them, offending the Verro family is nothing to worry about. This is what infuriated Aleck the most. If he can use his influence in other parts of Europe, he cannot do so in Monaco. Ellen quickly fixed her hair and her clothes as she stomped her way to the car waiting for them. She said, "It's because of Cecilia! I saw her inside!"Aleck frowned. "Cec

    "Ellen, you're not supposed to leave my sight this time. Do not go around like you did last time. Monaco is not the place for you to act like a queen."Aleck tightly held Ellen's waist as they walked towards their table in Le Grill, an upscale restaurant in Monte Carlo. The elegant and luxe interior impressed Ellen. It was her first time in this restaurant. She heard from her friends in the modeling industry that it was hard to get a reservation. She has asked Aleck multiple times to go, but he is always busy managing his businesses. And now she's here. "Just be pretty and quiet. That's all you need to do, Ellen.""Yes, baby..." she shyly said, hiding her disdain. Whenever Aleck needs to attend an event, he brings Ellen as his partner. That is the main reason why they got married. He needs a partner who has no connections to his rivals or his family. Ellen's drive and confidence are what made her the perfect wife for him. Ellen held her head high, confident despite the judging gaz

    “Miss, one of our investors requested to personally meet you.""..."Cecilia just looked at Jennifer, her secretary, who had just arrived in Switzerland. She came to Cecilia's new laboratory with five senior chemists to help with Cecilia's research. However, she came with bad news—to Cecilia, at least. "Can we schedule a video meeting with him?""No... He insisted on meeting you personally..." Jennifer bit her lip before continuing, "Or else, Mister Alwyn will withdraw his investment...""Go ahead then. I will cover the loss." Cecilia muttered in a detached tone, then continued to review reports from their factories. "Miss... Please reconsider... This partnership is essential for our new factories in the states. If he withdraws, we would have a hard time pushing through with this...""Jennifer, you know that I cannot leave Celeste here. You must have heard about the report a few days ago. There are men following Celeste and her nannies. Do you think I can leave my daughter after th

  • Celeste's Mommy Runs Away    Chapter 15: The Mafia Boss's Wife

    "Babe, there's a kid who irritated me earlier. Can you deal with her?" "Oh, and her nannies too!" "She really pissed me off! How can a kid be that annoying?!" Ellen ranted as soon as she got back to her hotel room. She tossed her scarf on the bed as she continued to take off her jacket. Her husband, Aleck, was smoking as he leaned on the balcony. His back was facing Ellen, not paying attention to whatever his wife said. "I want to twist that kid's ears and put her in her place!" "Ugh!" "Hey, babe?" she asked, walking towards her husband. "Are you listening to me?" Aleck briefly glanced at her before tapping the ashes on the ashtray. "You're so loud, woman. Don't you know when to shut up?!" he hissed. Ellen flinched. Things always get ugly when Aleck is in a bad mood. Aleck Verro is a notorious figure in the underworld. He may appear as a stout old man with a receding hairline, but he is so powerful that no one wants to get on his bad side. Beneath his clubs around th

    "I had a great time, thank you for inviting me to join your dinner," Julian thanked the group as they waited for their driver to pick them up. "The pleasure is ours, Julian. Please join us again when our schedules align," Matthias happily invited Julian. "Sure will!" Julian cheerfully responded, then turned to Cecilia. "And I hope you'll be joining us as well, Lia," he added in a familiar tone. Cecilia nodded in agreement. "Of course, Julian. I'll be looking forward to it." Though the night started on a sour note, it sure ended sweetly because of Julian's company. The group certainly liked the F1 driver. Even Cecilia, who was usually aloof, clicked with Julian's personality. He is a good conversationalist but did not cross any boundaries. He is friendly and a natural gentleman. Perhaps that's why Cecilia felt comfortable with him. She even allowed him to call her by her nickname!"I'll text you, Lia," he whispered softly to her, his face breaking into a cheeky smile. "Hahaha, ye

    Ellen was left dumbfounded by what the naughty kid said. “Unbelievable! Tell Aleck to find that kid and bring her to me.”“I’ll deal with her myself.”Her voice was laced with a chilling threat that seemed to hold weight. She viciously watched the backs of Celeste and her nannies, remembering the humiliation she got from a mere child. “Miss, I think the kid is quite rich. She has a bodyguard. Should we tell Sir Aleck…? I’m afraid we’re going against someone powerful…”"And the people in this neighborhood are also elites... I don't think we should..."Ellen scoffed. “Who is more powerful than Aleck? He is the heir of the Verro Family! No one dares to cross a century-old mafia family, right?”Allyssa reluctantly nodded. “So, what are you waiting for? Tell his men to follow the kid right now!” She screamed as she slumped on the bench. ...Following the incident six years ago, Ellen Miller was embroiled in several scandals.A video of her and the old investor was released to the inter
