View MoreRowan's POV " Good morning Mr Sinclair" One of the company staffs greeted me as I walked out of the elevator towards the exit of the building with Matt, my assistant following behind." Good morning Mr Sinclair" Another greeted again.All I did was respond with a slight nod." Is the car ready?" I asked Matt " Yes sir...I informed the driver already" He replied and as if on cue, the car was parked in front of the building." What time are they expecting us?" I asked Matt after getting into the backseat while he sat in front with my driver." In 2 hours sir" he replied as he scrolled through his iPad.Good. I mentally noted as I glanced out of the window. We were 20 minutes into the road when Matt faced me. " Sir, you might want to see this" he said as he handed me the iPad.Without thinking much about it, I collected it and then read through. The name at the top right of the report hit me first.... EldreenaDesigns. And then it began to sink in.Celine, My wife. An entrepreneur." Wh
Celine's POV The moment I recognized Eleanor's voice, .....I froze." Hello Celine" she said sweetly over the phone, as if we were long lost friends that were reconnecting.A million and one questions began to run through my mind all at once. How is this possible? How did she get this number? Who gave it to her? Or wait Had she being the one behind the SUV thing? Was she the reason why Alex and his sponsor were trying to protect me? Was she the one they were trying to protect me from? But this doesn't makes sense. I knew that Eleanor cared for nothing but herself and her daughter, but she wouldn't go to the length of being lethal....or would she?" You do know that it would have been decent to check in on us, your family every once in awhile instead of disappearing like you did" She started. I could hear the tone in her voice, it was combined with both sarcasm and disappointment. " Where are your human feelings? " She continued and then added. " How could you disappear like we
Celine's POV As we pulled up to the old three story hotel, a slight wave of anxiety gripped me. I was with Maryjane and two other members of the team for this project. I had spoken with Matteo 2 days ago and he had agreed for us to come inspect the place before finalizing the contract. It was all about evaluating the space we were expected to renovate and transform in six months." Are you sure this is the place?" Maryjane asked as she scanned the entire building from head to toe." I'm pretty sure it is.......see it has the name Kings Hotel written boldly on it." I replied her as I gestured to the bold sign above us." Perhaps there is another Kings Hotel " she continued as she gripped the stirring will tightly." This is the place Maryjane" I replied her as calmly as possible. I knew that she had been skeptical about Matteo ever since she met him but I wasn't going to allow that single meeting with him determine how we would run the project.So without wasting anymore time, I opene
Rowan's POV I arrived back home feeling all drained and exhausted. The ride all the way from the Dunphy's house had turned out to be longer than usual....I think it's probably because of the mental struggle I was currently experiencing.I remained in the car as I leaned into the leather seat and then stared out of the tinted window even though my focus was on nothing in particular. I picked up my phone to check for any calls or text from the private investigator but still, there was nothing. For how is he going to make me wait for?The is getting frustrating for the love of God!I meant every word that I said to Tobias and his wife, If Celine isn't found as soon as possible, I wouldn't hesitate to burn them to the ground..... their reputation, legacy, all of it.I hadn't cared about their family ever since Emilia walked out on our engagement without a single word and I wasn't going to especially now that I am beginning to realize how they had treated Celine. She had been the bandag
Celine's POV I stared out of the window silently as Maryjane drove me home. My hands clenched in my lap as I replayed the sound over and over again. The sound of the camera.... click.The snap of the camera shutter. Even though I wanted to stay positive, but deep down I knew that I hadn't imagined it. I couldn't have, just as the same way that I couldn't have mistaken Rowan for the man I saw at the restaurant. And even if Maryjane didn't witness it, the black SUV parked in the far corner of the restaurant wasn't a coincidence.....or was it? I am certain that someone was watching me. I could feel it.But then who could it be? And why would anyone be watching me? I didn't have any enemies, infant the only person that might have something to do with me is Rowan but I highly doubt that he is behind this. There was absolutely no reason for him to watch me this way, if he wants to see me he would have found me already, I mean he isn't Rowan Sinclair just for nothing.Unfortunately Rowa
Emilia's POV As soon as Rowan walked out of the house, silence immediately filled the entire living room. Celine filed for a divorce? I didn't expect that at all. I had sent her that video to scare her but I definitely wasn't expecting her to back off that easily. And now, she had left, leaving the space that I had yearned for the past 2 years empty. Can this get any better?I tried to hide the smirk that was beginning to form at the corners of my lips as I watched my parents rant to eachother." You see what you've done? " My Mother snapped as she began to pace the room. " This is all your fault Tobias, you are the one who kept spoiling and indulging that girl!" She said out loud I watched as my father tossed his phone onto the couch as he muttered under his breath. " I don't have time for this, .....I have an entire city to run. " He blurted out and then added. " Celine can't just disappear and embarrass us like this... that girl is going to ruin everything that I've built""She
