Celine's POVI thought I was dreaming when I heard Bryan's voice and it made me flicker my eyes open in shock. I was shocked by the fact that he has my number and he is also calling me. I sit upright with a pounding heart, realizing that my sleep has vanished into thin air. Jason spends more time with Lizzy these days, giving me more time to rest and sleep all I want. I hadn't had a good sleep since I woke up this morning to help Bryan get his dress ready when I realized I was late. I found out he was already gone so I went back to my room, hoping he won't fight me for that. I haven't slept since morning and I was sleeping before he called me.With haste, I climb down from the bed, wear my shoes and walk out of the room. Bryan barely comes into my room these days to check up on Jason, I guess it's because he is very busy and he sees Jason outside with Lizzy most of the time, thereby giving me enough freedom and assurance that I can't be caught sleeping on Jason's bed.I wonder why
Bryan's POV I flutter my eyes open with a groan. I look around trying to recall how I fell asleep last night. What happened last night? The memories come rushing. I had called Celine in to massage me because I wanted to punish her but it turned out that the punishment worked to my benefit. The benefit of making me relaxed from the stress of the day and sleeping off without knowing. I slept soundly like a baby. I sigh. Everything still hurts me. Camilla, Celine, Emily, and Eric. They all hurt me. I am still finding it very hard to forgive them all. I have learned not to trust anyone anymore and it is making it very difficult to forgive and forget every single person that offends me. Camilla and Celine accepted their mistakes and apologized but I still haven't found a place in my heart to forgive them. What Camilla did is nowhere compared to what Celine did. What Celine did is the worst and unforgivable. I feel Camilla didn't tell me because she cared about me, she didn't w
Paxton's POVI watch Bryan's car drive past mine from where my car is parked a few distances away from his mansion.I have sun shades on so he won't recognize me but the moment the car drives past me, I take them off, heave a deep sigh of relief and pick up my phone to call Celine.I need to see her. We need to talk and I need to confess my feelings to her once again. I haven't done so directly but I have been giving her the impression that I love and want her. She keeps ignoring but I know she is either playing hard to get or trying to be careful about men because of what Bryan is doing to her.But now that Bryan is in the picture again and from what Emily said the last time I saw her, I need to talk to Celine. We were unable to talk the last time I was here all because of Bryan.The more I think of that man, the more my hatred for him increases. I hate him with passion for what he has done and what he is still doing to Celine and Jason.Celine rushed out of my car in fear when he r
Celine's POVMy curiosity is at its peak. As I took care of Jason, I kept thinking about what Paxton said.He has something to tell me and it's important. It sounded really urgent and I don't want to ignore and regret it later on.I really can't figure out what it is he wants to talk to me about that he can't discuss with me over the phone.I miss him too as much as he misses me but I am making an effort not to let Bryan ever see us together again so I won't get punished.I am trying my best to be on his good side now, to help him through his inner crisis, and to gain favor from him.I want nothing from him but a part of my son's life. Being my son's nanny is giving me that chance but I want more.I want freedom. I want to go back to living my life the way I used to, even though I didn't have enough to cater for us both but I am going to be more hardworking.I don't want Bryan's money. He can keep it. All I want is my child to be with me in my own house, not this comfortable prison th
Paxton's POVMy lips move gently on hers before I begin to seek more opening and dominance when she pushes me away."What are you doing?" She shouts at me, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.Confusion skates my expression and I wonder what is wrong.I thought she loves me too and it was just a matter of time before we became boyfriend and girlfriend?Our neighbors think we are dating and I thought…"Paxton, what the hell was that for?" She yells, looking at me squarely in the face. I drop my head in shame as I feel my heart shredding into pieces and my heart sinking deep into the tip of my stomach.No!This can't be happening.Emily said it and it has been my greatest fear ever since. I tried to assure myself that Celine feels the same way and there is nothing to be scared about.I am wrong.Is she pretending? Abruptly, she rises and rushes to the door in anger and I follow her. Grabbing her to face me, her back hits the door.I want to shout at her. I want to ask her why th
Bryan's POVI keep thinking about the letters Celine wrote to me and the contents. The words keep resounding in my ears and I wonder why she isn't acting as if she is responsible for the letter.I didn't see her this morning before coming to work but she pretended not to have anything to do with them the last time.She was as submissive as ever. Her head was lowered in respect as ever.Even though I had assumed that she was doing this just to get to me and make me soft on her, I am having a different feeling about it.As much as I try not to think of it, I am curious to know her answers to the questions I have.How long is she going to pretend?I am coming back from work very late today despite how much in a haste I was to come to ask Celine if she is the writer of those letters or not. I know she is the one but I am still going to question her.My maids would never do a thing like that. Celine is the only one with such audacity despite how scared she is of me.Surprisingly, my nightm
Celine's POVCamilla notices my restlessness as I move from our bedroom to the living room, hoping to hear Jason's cry so I can rush over to Bryan's room and take my son with me back to our room.But he isn't crying today of all days. Everywhere is silent as a graveyard."Are you ok?" She peers down at me for the umpteenth time in question."Yes, I am", I sit on the settee to calm myself down so she won't notice anything anymore."Is something wrong?" She asks again. "Did he say something to you?""No, no, no!" I chant, shaking my head vigorously. "He didn't. I am fine.""Then tell me what it is", she insists, sitting next to me. "He wants Jason to sleep in his room, I'm just worried Jason might wake up with a cry in the middle of the night and I will already be fast asleep", I half-lie, hoping she will believe me and let me be.I can't tell her the truth. I can't tell her that Paxton will be coming over here tonight to get me and my son out.Bryan is ruining our plans already. I am
Bryan's POVI wake up with a start and my eyes fly open to the handsome figure right next to me on my massive bed.He is curled up with his hair falling all over his face and the remnants of the chocolates I gave him last night as a bribe falling off his half-open mouth.I smile and relax back, thinking of what woke me up.Did he stir and I woke up in fright that he will soon wake up with a cry?I don't know why I am awake. I guess it is just a fatherly instinct. Impulsively, my hand finds its way to his chubby cheeks and I rub my hand over his face in adoration.He stirs again and coughs. Quickly, I pull the remnant of the chocolates out of his mouth and drop it on the side drawers. My hands become sticky and as much as I want to ignore them, too tired to get up from the bed to wash my hands, I rise.I get irritated by things easily. This isn't something smelly but the sight of its stickiness irritates me. I might not be able to go back to sleep if I don't get rid of it.Besides, i
