My heart skipped a bit as I watched the video that was playing in front of me.
" Do you like it?" The woman in the video asked in a sultry manner.
"Yes... just like that" The man with her replied slowly as he surrendered to her touch.
My eyes immediately widened in absolute shock as the realization of what was happening hit me.
" Go faster" The man continued as the woman rode on him slowly.
The sounds of moaning filled the speaker of my phone as both man and woman expressed the satisfaction of being pleasured. And then, I saw the woman's face clearly, .... It was Emilia, my step sister.
A million and one questions ran through my head as I tried to figure out what was going on.
Why on earth would anyone send this to me? I haven't heard from Emilia in 2 years and now I am recieving a video of her having sex with God knows who?!!!
I was about to put off the video when something caught my attention.
" Rowan......, oh Rowan!" Emilia moaned out loud in absolute pleasure.
What?! No. No fucking way! This can't be true.
My hands trembled as I held onto my phone tightly.
There is absolutely no way that it is the same Rowan she was referring to. There is no way she would be talking about my husband, Rowan Sinclair. There is absolutely no way that Rowan would go back to her after all that she did to him.
I refuse to believe it!.
I stared back into the video and watched closely even though I was disgusted by the sight in front of me. Emilia was on top of him as she moved in rhythms. I watched as he grabbed her ass, guiding it where he wanted it to be.
" Am I doing it right?" Emilia asked him again.
" Just right baby " he replied her in a husky tone. I couldn't really tell if it was my husband's voice because of the situation around it.
His face was well hidden in the video and all I could see was his form.
" Did she ever make you feel this way?" Emilia asked a few seconds later.
I was puzzled by the question. Who is this 'she'?
" Don't bring her into this" The man replied her as he brought her face down to kiss her. Most likely to distract her from talking.
After a few seconds Emilia released herself from the kiss and then asked again. " C'mon Rowan, I want to know.......did Celine ever make you feel this way?"
And that was the confirmation that I needed. My heart immediately sank.
My husband and stepsister were truly the ones in the video. Tears immediately gathered in my eyes as I began to hyperventilate.
I couldn't believe it. How is this possible?
How could they do this to me? How could Rowan do this to me? Is this the thank you I get after sacrificing 2 years of my life to be his wife?
How could he go back to the same person that left him waiting at the alter? This must be a dream. The universe must be playing some sort of tricks on me.
My intrusive thoughts was interrupted by the sound of moaning coming out from my phone as I immediately ended the video.
" Ms Celine....is everything okay?" One of the house staff asked as she rushed to my side.
I could barely breathe properly as I was obviously in shock.
" Do you need me to get you water?" She asked with worry written all over her face.
I raised my hand to stop her.
" No, it's fine." I replied her slowly and then added. " I just need to be alone"
" Okay ma'am, do you need me to assist you upstairs?" She asked again
" I'm fine Fiona, I can manage on my own " I replied her in a low voice as I picked up my phone, gathered all the strength that I could find and then headed for my bedroom.
Never in a thousand years did I ever imagine that a day like this would come.
I never asked for any of these. I never wanted to be here in the first place but I had been forced against my will.
I had been forced to marry Rowan Sinclair two years ago after Emilia, his ex fiancée disappeared the morning before their wedding. Everyone had been shocked by this because she had claimed to love him.
Wanting to save face from the public and not ruin the perfect relationship with the Sinclairs, my family made me a substitute bride for Rowan. I was forced into a loveless marriage with my step sister's fiancé, the ruthless billionaire.
I barely got into my room when my phone started to ring and as soon as I confirmed the caller Id, I froze on the Spot.
It was Emilia.
A thousand questions began to go through my head again as I contemplated on whether to answer it or not. But then, I needed answers to all of the questions I had, I needed to know what was going on exactly so I answered it.
" Hello" I said into the phone as I tried my best not to allow the fact that I was emotionally hurting show.
" Hello Celine, my dear step sister" she said in a high pitched tone.
" What do you want?" I asked her. There was no point in beating around the push, I needed her to go straight to the point.
" Is this how you greet someone you haven't heard from in the past 2 years?" I could hear the mockery in her voice but I was determined to stay strong.
I wasn't going to break down while she's listening, never!
" What do you want Emilia?" I continued
" Did you get the gift I sent to you?" She asked
Gift? What gift?
Then it hit me. Ofcourse she was referring to the sex video!
I had wondered how and why the video was sent to me and now, it all made sense.
" I'm sure you received it, your silence is all I need" Emilia continued
" What game are you trying to play Emilia?" I asked her in return
" Let me just cut to the chase Celine.......I am back " she blurted out. " I am back to claim what you stole from me!" She added
Stole? What I stole from her? Is she kidding me?!
" Are you serious right now? I never stole anything from you Emilia!" I defended as my voice shook
" Keep telling yourself that........ As you could see in the video, I already have Rowan wrapped under my fingers, he never loved you Celine and he never will" Emilia stated out loud
I couldn't fight the tears that had been threatening to roll down my face anymore. I let them flow freely.
I had been married to Rowan for two years and not once had he touched me, but there he was sleeping with the very same person that broke his heart.
" Apparently you can never make him feel the way that I do......." Emilia continued and then asked "did you watch it to the end? Did you see how he held on to me as he came undone? .....did you hear how he screamed my name?"
" Stop it!....stop it Emilia!!!!" I screamed at her as she tortured me with her words.
I listened as she let out a scornful laugh. " Stop it? ...... come on Celine you know this is the truth. I should be the one answering that name Mrs Sinclair and not you!" She blurted out
" Then why did you run away?! Why did you leave him waiting at the alter?!" I asked with soo many emotions in my voice.
I was forced to marry him for the love of God! I didn't steal anything from her!
For two years I tried my best to be a loyal and dutiful wife. I tried everything in other for him to see me. But what did I get in return?
I was ignored. Rowan did nothing but ignore me.
"What I did back then is none of your business.....all that matters is what I plan to do now, and I won't stop until I have him fully for myself " With that being said she ended the call.
I couldn't hold it any longer as I let out a loud scream of anger and frustration! This was indeed the last straw!
I have had enough! I wasn't going to sit still and let myself be dragged to the ground like a piece of rag any longer. I was done being treated like a doormat. I immediately grabbed my car keys from my bedstand and headed for the one place where I wasn't welcomed.
Rowan's POV HongKong was everything it promised to be, bright lights, ruthless deals, ceilings made of glass and gold. Across from my team and I sat the entire HongKong representatives , with Mr Liang the CEO at the head of the table. I watched in silence as they flipped through the thick contracts and glossy presentations. " We're impressed with this Mr Sinclair"" Liang said with an asian accent. " Your numbers are clean, and the vision aligns perfectly with our expansion" he adds firmly I offered a polite nod, glad that this was going according to plan ." We are prepared to sign the contract, although.." he paused and then continued. "We expected your wife to be here with you" His words immediately caught me by surprise. In all my years of doing business, I have never needed the presence of Celine to sign a business deal. I remained still and then asked. " Excuse me?" " Forgive me if I caught you by surprise but your wife carries the grace of your brand well, elegant and r
Rowan's POV " Good morning Mr Sinclair" Philip, my butler and trusted friend greeted me as I walked down the stairs.I responded with a slight nod as I approached the dinning room for breakfast. The past few days had been very overwhelming for me with work and yesterday was no exception, the least that could happen to me was to be presented with a good meal.I got to the dinning table only to find no one there." Where's Celine?" I asked Philip who was following me from behind " She's not here sir" He replied me I looked at him with a puzzled expression on my face and then asked sharply " what do you mean she's not here?" I saw how uncomfortable he was as he responded to my questions " She left the house very early this morning" he replied meAs soon as his words registered into my brain, I let out a laugh of disbelief.Really? Is this about yesterday? What sort of game is she trying to play now?A thousand and one questions ran through my mind as I thought about it. I had gotten
Celine's POV I sat at my favourite coffee shop as I patiently awaited the arrival of my attorney. I had reached out to him immediately I got back from my family's house yesterday to draft out the divorce papers....there was no turning back for me at this point." Here's your coffee Ms Celine" One of the waiter said to me as she placed the coffee down. " Do you need anything else?" She asked " No thank you...I'm fine " I replied her with a small smile.The smell of caffeine filled my nostrils as I took a sip of the coffee. I am definitely going to miss this place because this was most likely the last time that I'd come here. My plan is to disappear far away from everyone, far away from Rowan's reach. I needed to cut all forms of contact with the people that made my life miserable. Memories from last night came flooding back. I didn't know exactly what to expect from Rowan after telling him about the divorce, but I had at least expected a different reaction from what I got. ........a
Celine's POV About two hours later, I parked in front of my parents house. It had been a miracle that I got there in one piece because my mind was all over the place as drove." Ms Celine.... you're here" The House help greeted me as I walked into the house " Where is my father?" I asked her " He is having lunch with your step mother upstairs" She replied me .Without uttering another word to her, I walked towards the stairs to find them.My father was the first one who sighted me as I neared them. " Celine? ... what are you doing here?" He asked with a surprised expression on his face.Eleanor, my step mother glanced towards my direction and then said. " Well, look who we have here " she started. " Look who finally decided to show up since Emilia returned over a week ago" Wait, what? They know that Emilia is back?" Took you long enough Celine!..... I can't believe that you'd wait this long to come greet her." Eleonor continued as she poured herself a drink.I wasn't surprised
