Chapter 5

Now his eyes were the coldest she had ever seen and she couldn’t help but wonder what Nolan did to him. She never wanted to get involved in his affairs and now why would this guy think that she will be the price for his betrayal?

Honestly her head hurt from too much thinking, she was just a simple housewife and never had to deal with such a complex situation like this. She held her head up and asked “So I am just some bargain chip for you. Do you know how that makes me feel cheap?”

“What?  I am giving you a hand to destroy that jerk for cheating on you. Therefore, don’t you dare complain to me?” Jared was almost shouting, he thought that the woman was becoming a nuisance.

The next minute there was a total silence in the room and Céline didn’t have anything else to say except to shut her mouth. All she needed was for him to give her the money so that she can go and save her mother and as for marrying him, she still felt that he was just bluffing but the guy continued to dwell on the matter

He suddenly held her face with his long fingers and she understood it clearly. He had won and there was no going back “I take it from your silence that you have agreed to my proposal. Anyway whether you accept or not there is no going back. Haven’t you realized yet how much you burn in my touches?

He leaned closer and kissed her softly on the cheeks, Celine couldn’t help blushing. Jared just showed her how much power he had over her, he can make her do whatever he wanted and she will not refuse. He then whispered in to her ears” come on, don’t play anymore games”

“Alright I accept, but you are going to give me some time to get the divorce.”

The moment the words came out of her mouth, he heaved a sigh of relief. The first step is done and now the second step is underway. He will make sure that the damn Nolan Carter never messes with him again.

“Fair enough but do it as soon as possible. Meanwhile I want you to please me every time I feel like. Whether it is during the day or night it will be up to me.” Her mouth opened widely with surprise and she wanted to object but the guy tapped on her lips lightly to stop her. What he just said was final and he didn’t care whether she didn’t want to.

Celine continued to stare at him in a trance and couldn’t master what he was asking of her. “For God’s sake I am a married woman. What have I gotten myself in? She started regretting ever approaching him in the first place, but it was already too late and there was nothing else she could have done.

As if what they have just discussed was just normal, the man stood up and steadied his suit as he ordered “It’s time to go now, I have other things to do. Should I take you home?” but Celine was fast to reject his offer “No…No…No I can manage”

There was no way she was going to allow herself to be spotted with the man, the community will never forgive her. What if there were paparazzi waiting outside to take her picture. Would that make her disappearance during the night difficult to explain? 

Her husband was also a celebrity and she wouldn’t like to openly misbehave. She still wished to maintain the little dignity she has been left with after the crazy night.

“I will contact you later then” Jared said and left.

 After he left she felt a certain kind of loneliness, she didn’t think what happened was real. Jared did give her warmth, but maybe she received more than she was supposed to. How else would she be still yearning for him?  The remnants of the sweet love he gave her last night wouldn’t leave her stupid mind.

Staying locked up in the room won’t help her already complicated situation, she better stand up and go face her worst night mare.

As she walked out of the hotel room she realized that it was almost noon. Because it was on a Saturday and Nolan will most likely be at home, she started feeling guilty of what she had done.

How is she going to be able to act normal in front of her husband whom they have shared two years of marriage with all the memories of last night still lingering in her mind? Damn you Jared I wish I never met you? She cursed silently as she hailed a taxi to take her back home.

Celine sat on the back seat of the car reminiscing at the scene she saw earlier in her husband’s office. She was excited at the prospects of visiting him. Celine wanted to give him a special birthday present when she saw him having sex with his secretary.

Ooh…the damn man was groaning in pleasure as he sunk deep in  to that two faced woman who only pretended in front of her while she went behind her back and betrayed her. She was screaming his name and when she saw Celine walk in on them, she gave her a triumph look that tore her heart in to tiny pieces.

She should have been the one screaming his name like that but he never even once had the time for her. She was simply his wife who cooked his food and washed his clothes. At that instance she couldn’t prevent tears of sadness or may be regret for having stayed that long in the loveless marriage.

As she thought about what she has done , a wicked smile curved on her mouth .They have been married only for 2 years and even though she had heard rumours about his extramarital affairs she never believed them.

Nolan was a kind and trustworthy person who could never hurt even a fly. That was what she believed until the moment when she saw with her very own eyes what he was capable of doing. He was so cruel to her, she never could have imagined.
