CELINE POV-โI might consider.โ This was my answer to Tristanโs question.It was a little late at night and I was still thinking about that. He wants to move us here for good if we get married. He doesnโt rush me into thinking and he doesnโt force me either.If his family doesnโt change their minds about Skye and Sunny once they find out that Tristan is not their biological father, I might consider moving here. But if my children donโt want here, then maybe not.My childrenโs welfare and wishes are still the first things I will consider. However Skye and Sunny told me a while ago they want it here and donโt want to leave.I let out a soft sigh and dismissed that matter for now.I looked at my children who were sleeping soundly. I kissed their foreheads and slowly got up to avoid waking them up, especially Skye. I had a little trouble getting him to sleep because Tristan wasnโt by his side.After I dressed Skye and Sunny for bed earlier, Tristan left, his Grandfather and Father called
CELINE POV-Tristan dropped us off at my apartment and hurriedly left.โStay here. Iโll update you.โI nodded. โBe careful.โโI will.โWe were rushing back to Chicago after Bianca called Tristanโs phone number this morning and told us the bad newsโthat all the branches of the Stellar restaurant had burned down.Upon entering the apartment, I sat Skye and Sunny down on the couch, then turned on the television and brought them to their favorite videos.โMummy is just going to call someone,โ I told them while grabbing my phone from the center table that I had left when we left.I hurriedly grabbed the charger from my suitcase and immediately plugged it in to charge my phone.When I opened the phone, my forehead furrowed after I saw the thousand messages from Lanceโs mobile number. Asking where I am and many more. My nostrils flared, and I bared my teeth as I stared at his messages. Iโm sure heโs the one who caused the restaurant's ashes.Thatโs him. That his organization is known for tu
CELINE POV - After I recovered from my shock, I went straight to walking. I had nothing to fear from her. I was going to go to her husband to confront him; thatโs it. If she wanted to come and listen to what her husband and I were talking about, she was free to do that, so that she would know what her husband was doing to mess with my life. โThe nerve,โ Freya whispered while grabbing my arm to stop me from walking. โDidnโt you miss my feet?โ She asked, laughing until it disappeared. โNow I understand why my husband is still here,โ she firmly said the word husband. โAfter being his ex-wife, now youโre a mistress? Are you flirting with him?โ I slid Freyaโs hand down until she released her grip on my arm. โIโm not anyoneโs mistress.โ โOh? You are not calling yourself a mistress, then what?โ She observed me from head to toe. โI am Lanceโs wife; he is married to me. What are you if not his mistress? Another woman? Fling? One-night stand? F*ck buddyโโ I didnโt let her finish ac
CELINE POV-These stiletto red heels I gave to the person who owns them. But maybe Iโm just wrong; maybe itโs owned by someone else.I slowly headed upstairs, avoiding making any noise, even though my breathing was slow.Once I got to the second floor, I silently gasped. I almost fell after I saw Tristanโs clothes scattered around. Those clothes were what he was wearing this morning.I followed the direction to where Tristanโs clothes were scattered, to his room with the door open.When I was outside the room, I didnโt even need to see what they were doing. I heard her moan, screaming in lust.โOoh! Tristan! Too fast!โโPlease, make it faster!โโA-Ahh!โI continued to enter thinking and hoping that my suspicions were wrong, but I stopped and froze in my tracks after I saw Tristan riding on top of Biancaโs body. They are both naked on the bed.โIโm cumming again, Tristan!โAs they cum at the same time, they both caught their breath. Tristan buried his face in Biancaโs neck until Bian
TRISTAN POV-โI donโt want to see your face again,โ I told Bianca as I pulled myself to her.I was about to stand up, but she clasped her hands around my body. โAre you sure? Iโm sure youโll miss my body.โโIโm going to marry Celine, and I wonโt need your body anymore.โโMarried? Are you sure sheโs going to marry you?โI glared at her. โTry to tell her about this, and youโll be held accountable,โ I warn, then remove her hand from my body.โIโm helping you get closer to my friend. Example: remember what happened to Skye? He was so brave that he wasnโt afraid of his real father, to hate Lance, that night; thankfully, I figured out a way to scare him. I made him watch that little kid a video of killing someone, and thatโs when he became completely afraid of Lance, and you and Skye became even closer.โI stood up, took my phone, and sent a text message to Celine to tell her the steps we would take tomorrow about the restaurant, and that was to talk to all our staff. After I sent this mes
CELINE POV - I looked at Lance intently as he was sitting in front of me holding medicine and a glass of water. โI donโt want to,โ I told him again. โI wonโt die from a headache.โ I added. I had no choice but to go with him because it looked like it would be a while before a taxi would pass by that place, especially since it was late at night. Now I felt like I regretted going with him, and maybe I should have just walked until I found a taxi. He insisted on taking me to the hospital, and just after I had done a CT scan of my head like he wanted, he forced me to drink a painkiller. โTo ease your headache,โ he insisted. โI donโt want to take medicine as long as I can,โ I told him again. โHere, sir. You can give this to your wife.โ I looked intently at the nurse who came up to us while handling a cold compress. Lance took the cold compress from the nurse and just nodded. After the nurse left, he looked back at me, and I turned my sharp gaze to him. โI guess you w
CELINE POV-The next morning, a kiss on the cheek and a hug from my children woke me up.โGood morning, sweethearts.โโGood morning, Mummy!โ They greeted me at the same time.Following I got up, I kissed their crown head. โAre you both excited to go to school again?โโYes mummy!โ they answered at the same time.โLetโs go? Iโll just cook breakfast, then Iโll give you both a bath.โWe got out of bed at the same time. As the time we left the room, Sabrina was just as out of the room. I had already made Skye and Sunnyโs room a guest room while Sabrina is still here.โGood morning,โ she greeted sleepily. She approached the children and sat down. โGood morning, sweethearts. Can you give Auntie Sabrina a kiss?โ she pointed to her on both cheeks. โSo that I can have energy.โโYes, auntie!โThe children followed her and kissed her on the cheek at the same time. I smiled as I saw they were both close to Sabrina.โWow! I have a lot of energy now!โ She raised both hands.โYe-hey! Then we can pl
CELINE POV-Skye and Sunny asked me about Tristan; why did he not bring them to school? I just told them he was busy.In what is happening now, even the children were affected by what I did.When I left school, I stopped in my plan to wait for a taxi after I saw Lance. He waved at me and then ran towards me.โLetโs go?โโWhere?โ I asked, frowning.โWhere youโre going, go straight to the hospital to get your CT-scan results.โโDonโt you have work? โ I asked, annoyed.โIโm the boss; I can be absent whenever I want.โโWow!โ I commented sarcastically.โDoes that mean letโs go?โ"No,โ I replied, then passed him.I went to the side of the road to hail a taxi. I felt Lance was still behind me and just ignored him.Once I saw a taxi, I immediately hailed it, but my forehead furrowed in surprise. The taxi was close to me, and it suddenly swerved past me. The next six taxis were the same.I couldnโt help but be surprised, so I turned to face Lance, thinking he had something to do with the taxi
LANCE POV-โGo to sleep now.โ I spoke, then rose from the surface after tending to her wound.โI went back to the bathroom of this room. I put the basin back in its original place, threw away the white towel, and washed my hands. After drying my hands, I walked out of the bathroom. The moment I opened the door, I found Celine standing in front of it, waiting for me.โWhat now?โ I asked with annoyance. โWhat do you need againโโI didnโt expect what she did. With her kisses, she silenced me.She came close to me, tip toe, and pulled the collar of dress polo and kissed me. Her lips moved slowly and gently. My body reacted quickly to her simple kiss. My hands moved spontaneously towards her body and brought her body closer to mine. I slide my tongue inside her mouth and gently bite her nibble and, a moan escapes from her mouth.I brought Celine to the bed without breaking the kiss. I let go of the kiss when she sat down on the bed and I leaned forward as she held my nape.โLanceโฆโ she ca
LANCE POV-When my eyes caught sight of the main door and saw Celine holding a bottle of wine while Hannah comforting her from crying without tears; I hurried over to them. The moment I saw Celine holding a bottle of wine, I knew she was drunk.โIโm taking back your bride.โ Hannah said as I approached. โMy ears hurt from her repeatedly mentioning your name.โ She complained without feeling any resentment.Grabbing and hugging Celineโs waist I smiled when she looked at me. โLance?โโYes, itโs me.โ I said calmly, knowing what she had done. Even though no one told me what she did without me being by her side in this situation, I know the suffering of those with her.She hugged me tightly. โI missed you so much.โโIโm leaving.โ Hannah said goodbye.I carried Celine in the bridal style, I glance at Hannah. โI donโt want this to happen again.โ My voice laced with a warning.โI understand.โโThanks, for taking care of her.โShe answered me with a disgusted look and walked out.

CELINEโS P O V-โWhat Iโm going to say is important,โ she adds.โWhat else?โ there was bitterness in my tone.โFor your sake, your familyโs sake.โโTell me what you want to say now.โโNo. Itโs better if I tell you in person.โโNo.โ I also refused. โI wonโt meet you until you tell me what you want to say.โ I insisted. โYou broke my trust in you, so I canโt trust you this time.โJudging by her voice on the other line, she seemed desperate to talk to me. But if she deceived me for five years, she was capable of doing it again.I wasnโt mad at Bianca for having an affair with Lucian. I was mad at her for ignoring our friendship and my trust in her.โAboutโฆโI looked at my phone screen and saw she ended the call. Out of nowhere, worry overcame me.I attempted to phone her number, but my attempt failed. Was it possible she had something important to say? If so, what about it? If she knew about Lucianโs condition and thatโs what she should tell me, thereโs no need, because I already know
LANCE HART POV-I put down the folder containing the documents I had to approve, but after a few minutes of reading it I couldnโt focus. Over three hours had passed since Celine left. Five minutes had passed when she called me to tell me to remove the body guards I had sent. After that, she said she would call me again in an hour. I canโt rest until my own eyes see Celine is doing well, also I miss her so much.I stood up to get a black coffee. Just as I faced the table again, I recoiled after I saw Skye sitting on the sofa. Upon approaching him, my eyes bulged when I saw he was holding Starrโs picture. As I often did, I looked at their pictures; among the many on the table, Skye focused on Starrโs lone picture.Celine will scold me if she finds out Skye saw Starrโs picture. We were planning to tell our children about Starr before we got married, but we planned to tell them together.I sat down next to Skye and put my coffee cup on the table. โSkye, why did you wake up?โ I attempted

For the make up I did I kept it simple, for my short hair is loose.After checking myself I came out of the walking closet. I straiht to the mini living room where Lance was watching a childrenโs cartoon with our children.โWhat do you all think?โ I asked them.Lance turned off the tv first then he looked at me, followed by our children.โMummy, youโre beautiful!โ Sunny, lauded.โYou look amazing, mummy.โ Skye, acclaimed. โYou look gorgeous as always.โ Lance, extolled.โAre you all sure?

SABRINA RODRIGUEZ POV-I smiled after Celine sent a picture to our group chat. Joy welled up inside me at the thought of their happiness. I keep telling myself that she deserves her happy family. Despite all the problems and hardship they have gone through she and Sir Lance still love each other very much.I put down my phone and I drank the twentieth shot of whiskey.โPlease have one more shot of whiskey.โI think the spirit of alcohol had kicked into my body. My head was aching from the loud music and the surrounding people, plus the various smells mixed with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. Why did I even think of going to this bar?Since Iโm finishing the project Iโm doing for a client who will build a mansion for their growing family, I take a whole day off. I shopped almost everything I wanted I remained unsatisfied, so I went to the nearest bar I saw. โThank you.โ I told the bartender as he handed me a shot of whiskey.I drank the whiskey straight again and paid.

It was clearly a work discussion, but the thought lingeredโI quickly dismissed it from my mind.I shouldnโt waste time thinking about other things.
