"Goodnight, sweet dreams." He kissed the side of her head. "Thank you Roman." Celine sighed and hugged him tighter.When Celine woke up again, Roman wasn't there anymore. She was relieved that he finally left her alone, but at the same time, she couldn't help but wonder where he had gone.As she was thinking about it, she began feeling a little nauseous, so she got up to get herself some water to relieve her stomach pain. Celine put her legs into a pair of shorts and went outside the bathroom. After filling her glass with water, she headed into the kitchen to wash it and prepare breakfast for herself.She placed everything that she needed on the table before sitting down and eating her food quietly. She was lost in thought because of what her mother had said the previous day. She wished that she could tell her the truth about everything that has happened to her and ask her why she didn't come back to the castle. But deep down, she knew that she wouldn't tell her.She knew that it w
"Hello, duchess Celine."Celine didn't know how to react at first, but once she got over her initial shock, she smiled and gave a small nod."Hello King Roman. Hello everyone." Celine greeted politely."Would you mind if I joined you for lunch today?" Roman asked with a smile.Celine nodded her head yes slightly. "Of course not." She said."Good." Roman replied.The women were all staring at Celine intently and she couldn't figure out why. She suddenly felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable."Can I leave now?" She asked quietly.Everyone snapped out of their thoughts and gave her a slight nod of approval."Good, I will go ahead now and wait for you downstairs, King Roman."With that, she got up and walked away from them and disappeared outside, leaving them behind with confused looks on their faces.Roman watched her walk away and sighed, he looked around and noticed that most of the guests had left the restaurant already. "Are we still going to eat, or would you rather go somewhere e
Celine remained silent."You must've known that I loved you.""I knew." She finally admitted. "But I thought you didn't care for me."Roman's eyes flashed with anger. His lips tightened into a thin line and his nostrils flared as he inhaled sharply. He opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. His hands balled into fists as he tried to control himself."I was foolish and thoughtless back then. When you left me, I wanted to die. All I thought about was getting rid of the pain you had inflicted upon me. All I cared about was myself and getting revenge on you for what you had done to me. I believed that after you died I would feel relieved because I wouldn't have to live with that pain. Then I met you again." He took a deep breath as he tried to calm down his temper. "The pain you caused me, the pain you caused me again and again and again. You hurt me. You made me love you. You broke me. You tore apart everything that was mine and brought everything within me back to yo
"I wanted to erase all my mistakes and replace them with new ones. I wanted to be like everyone else. I wanted to feel nothing for others. To feel nothing for myself. I wanted to pretend that I was just like everyone else. Just like I had pretended to be back then.""So you killed because you hated yourself?"He nodded. "At first it started because of you. Because I realized that I loved you too much to let you go. But I didn't realize at first that I loved you. Only later when I found out that you had given birth to my child. I wanted to punish you for doing that, but I decided against it because I didn't want to make you angry. I didn't want to lose our relationship over something like that.""But then I got curious. I wanted to know what made you happy. Why you smiled and cried. Why you laughed. I wanted to see you smile like that again. Like the way you used to when we were younger. So I kept asking myself questions until one day it hit me." He paused. "One day, it hit me that wh
"I don't need your help," She muttered, shaking her head weakly.He frowned, pulling his hand away. "Why?"She shook her head lightly. "Nothing.""Celine." He insisted.She closed her eyes tightly, trying to hold back her tears again. She had no idea how long this conversation was going to continue. How much longer she was going to have to listen to his endless apologies. She couldn't handle that anymore. She was tired. Tired of listening to all his stupid words and pretending to agree with everything he said. She was tired of pretending to forgive him when she couldn't even begin to imagine forgiving him. It was easier just to shut him out. Maybe it wouldn't work out. Maybe she wasn't really supposed to forgive him after all. Maybe she should try to find some way to forget him. Forget that he existed. That he ever existed."Do you even know how much trouble you put me through? Do you know that I had to spend months trying to track you down to apologize? That you left me without eve
When Celine and Roman finally arrived at their destination, she stood up quickly, walking along the sidewalk toward the entrance. Roman followed her. When they got to the door, he pressed the buzzer three times loudly. There was no reply. He pressed it twice more. Still no response. He turned to look at her briefly and then pushed the doorbell. It rang loudly and repeatedly. Still, nobody answered it. He knocked a few more times, but there was still no response."Damn it." He said in frustration. "They must still be out celebrating. I told them to get the hell back here, but they ignored me. I guess we wait here a while longer." He shrugged.Celine stared at him for several seconds and then turned around abruptly, heading toward the street. Before she could take another step however, she stopped, turning slowly around again and facing him, an uncertain expression written all over her face."What are you doing?" He asked, frowning at her, suspiciously.She shrugged slightly, shruggin
"So do you still love me?" She asked quietly.He took hold of her hand and placed it gently over his heart. "Yes." He whispered. "With all my heart. All my soul."Suddenly, he reached out for her and pulled her closer to him. His arms encircled her tightly around the waist as he leaned forward and pressed his forehead against hers, closing his eyes. For a moment, neither of them moved. Celine felt tears starting to roll down her cheek as her own arms wrapped themselves around his neck."I love you, too." She mumbled.They held each other close for a long time, holding onto each other with such strength and determination that they seemed to have never separated in their entire lives. And even though she knew that he didn't feel the same, she still clung to him desperately. Because even though she knew that he wasn't truly in love with her, she hoped for some form of comfort and solace in his embrace, hoping that he would be able to help her to believe that it was true. Even though
"In the dresser right over there." She pointed towards the dresser across from the bed.He looked back towards the dresser and then back at her. "Oh... I see. Well, it looks like we won't be needing any of those then."She looked at him questioningly, not understanding his intentions at all. "Why?"He simply grinned at her, then walked over to the dresser and opened it up."What are you doing?" She exclaimed in shock.He looked up at her with a devilish grin on his lips as he pulled out two sets of underwear. One pair consisted of sheer black silk panties which were cut rather low. The other pair were very short and very sheer."Do you want to play or not?" He queried, a mischievous glint in his eye.She laughed loudly as she watched him walk toward the bathroom. She knew that he intended to give her another round of sex. Although he had said that he wasn't going to force himself on her, he certainly was making it seem as though he intended to do just that."Wait!" She called after h
