CELINE POV

-

The moment I opened my eyes, I didn’t bother glancing at the digital clock on the bedside table.

Like the previous days I was here in this disgusting house I don’t know what time I fell asleep, what’s for sure is that I didn’t sleep for three hours.

After I agreed to Lucian’s condition–that I would go with him, he instructed me what I should do and it seemed he anticipated I would agree to his plans.

The drug I injected into, and fed to, those guarding me before came from him. After going to various places to leave my clothes and other belongings to mislead Lance’s search for me...

...among a crowd of people, I was suddenly snatched by one of Lucian’s men. I was injected with a sedative and when I woke up, I was already in this house.

I got up and picked up the picture Lucian had given me three days ago from the bedside table. It was a recent picture of Starr, smiling as she drew.

I caressed Starr’s face on the picture frame. “You look exactly like your daddy,” I whispered

  • HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE   CHAPTER 0271 

    LANCE POV-Giovanni approached us, clearly flustered, and undoubtedly coming from Mr. Marco and Madam Gianna’s room. There’s some relief in knowing their health has improved, especially Mrs. Gianna’s, as she’s no longer requiring hospitalization. However, she’s experienced significant weight loss, a hardship made worse by the recent passing of her friend, Mrs. Martha Morgan.“Sweethearts, why don’t you introduce Axel to Nonni? Sure they’ll be happy to meet your friend.” Giovanni’s suggestion.** Nonni ↪ Grandparents **Catherine volunteered, “Uncle, I’ll go keep them company,” Blake, her personal bodyguard–beside her, ready to assist.Skye and Sunny both agreed with Giovanni’s idea, so Catherine and Blake joined Skye and Sunny heading upstairs.As I stood, Vince approached me. “Lance,” he took two pictures from his pants pocket and handed them to me.The photograph he presented was a stark diptych: Skye and Sunny, mere moments into life, contrasted with Celine’s gentle embrace of Sta

    [ N E W YO R K ]~LANCE POV-Hannah informed me, “The transaction was successful. All of the weapons were shipped without issue.”I simply nodded, while my mind was still racing to where Celine was.I’m at a loss as to where to search for her next. We’ve covered nearly every inch of America, yet we haven’t unearthed even the slightest hint of her whereabouts. I don’t want it to end with everything being too late before I find her. “Lance?”I glanced at Hannah in the rearview mirror. We’re currently in her car, on our way back to the mansion, to see my child. Earlier today, someone attempted to assassinate me by planting a bomb in my car. I devised a plan just before the bomb was set to detonate and managed to escape the car promptly. Although I sustained a few minor injuries, I disregarded them. Attempts on my life have become commonplace, so these superficial wounds are insignificant compared to my concern for Celine. Hannah was nearest to my location, so I summoned her to

  • HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE   CHAPTER 0269

    CELINE POV-“Lance!” I called out, my voice filled with a mixture of hope and a touch of desperation.But I felt so disappointed when I saw Lucian.He is staring at me blankly.I hid my worry as I looked at him from head to toe. He’s wearing a light blue shirt dress paired with black pants. His face and body are marked with numerous cuts and bruises. His clothes are stained with blood, and his pants are torn, exposing fresh wounds.“Lucian...”He stepped closer to the bed without taking his deep gaze off me.As he drew nearer, I noticed how rapidly his chest was rising and falling, accompanied by deep, ragged breaths that seemed to pull from the very depths of his lungs.“What happened to you?” I couldn’t help but ask. At some point I still had concerns.He slumped onto the edge of the bed, each breath a ragged gasp. “Celine...” he wheezed, his voice strained. “I... I’m at my limit. I can’t take much more.”“What?” I asked, confused, but my body moved away from him on its own.“Celi

  • HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE   CHAPTER 0268

    CELINE POV-I looked over at Starr, just catching her eye. She was happily eating her buttered chicken, seeming to really enjoy it.My eyes welled up with tears again because of her situation, and I couldn’t help but blame myself for everything she was going through. The weight of guilt pressed down on me, knowing that my choices had led her to this difficult and painful experience.If only I had thought better then this wouldn’t have happened.“Celine,”I turned my gaze back to Bianca, waiting for her to continue.“I don’t care if you believe me or not but you have to trust me this time.”“And that’s the one thing, the only thing, I can’t just give you without a second thought,” I admitted, with utter honesty.“I understand, but in this situation, please consider it carefully. Okay, don’t trust me, but place your trust in your daughter.”I quietly listened to what she would say next, focusing all my attention on her words.“It’s been months since I first pointed out the exit from th

  • HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE   CHAPTER 0267

    CELINE POV-I took a moment to process her words, and my initial reaction was a derisive chuckle.“You?” I asked under my breath, dripping with sarcasm. “Will help us escape? Do you even hear yourself, or have you conveniently forgotten what you did to me—to me and my child?”Since I was the only one in front of her, I saw her secretly glance in the direction of the person guarding us.Looking back at me, he abruptly seized what I had in my hands and stated firmly, “I am the one who will prepare Starr’s food. She doesn’t trust you, she even don’t want to see you, so don’t waste your time.”Her words cut deep because of their truth. Yet, her loud delivery wasn’t just to hammer that truth home; it felt like a mask for another, unacknowledged reason that eluded me.She turned and walked away from me, heading towards the stove.I barely closed the fridge before my eyes flicked to my daughter. She was looking at me with an innocent expression, but transferred her attention to Bianca, almo

  • HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE   CHAPTER 0266

    CELINE POV-I reluctantly agreed to Lucian’s answer. It was better for Starr to be left out of this, to give her the best chance of avoiding harm. I needed to find a way to escape and ensure my daughter’s safety.Leaving Starr here is not an option. My priority is to ensure that, before Lucian tries to take me, either she is far away from this place, or Lance is aware of her existence and can protect her.The next day, he remained true to his word to me. When he left this house, Bianca came again with my daughter.“Starr!” I called happily and tearfully.I quickly matched her height and hugged her tightly, enough to make me feel how much I missed her.“Let me go!” Starr snapped at me.Even though I wanted to hug her longer, I preferred to break away from the hug than to make her angry at me more. As I released my daughter from the hug, I noticed she was tightly gripping the four fingers Bianca’s small hand could hold.“Sweetheart, I’m not a bad person. I won’t hurt your Mummy Bianc
