ログイン"Sorry for keeping you waiting," He said and sat across from me. "Vincent, I need to talk to you," I said and rubbed my palm on the dress because it was becoming sweaty. "What is it?" he asked, his eyes filled with curiosity, unlike any other day when it's always blank. I took a deep breath. "I won't be able to go on the vacation trip with you. I need to prepare to join my father's company because I received a text from him." I said and swallowed the saliva in my throat. He told me he already discussed it with you" I added and looked up to see Vincent's expression. Vincent's face changed, his eyes clouded with anger, something else I couldn't figure out because he blinked. "You're choosing your father's company for the trip and I understand because it's more important?" he said, his voice low, not what I expected from an angry man. "What about the workers? They thought you would be with them," Vincent said and I felt bad. It's not about him now but the people here. "It
“Of course, I don't. Now get the hell out of here.” I told him but he still walked towards me like a fucking predator who somehow caught his prey. Nicholas closed the fucking distance between us and placed one of his hands on my shoulder. “You know what, I keep having this feeling that I have actually met you before everything happened”, Nicholas said and my heart skipped a beat. Panic surged through me and I prayed that there was no way Nicholas knew me. “And your actions towards me are appalling, Celine,” Nicholas said. I scoffed and looked at him in the face. “Why?” I taunt him and poke his chest. “Because I didn't jump on you and lick your feet about how I want to marry you so badly. Girls are different Mr Nicholas, in case you don't know.” I said and paused. “If you think I am going to swoon over you, then you are wrong.” I managed to finish when Nicholas suddenly caught my wrist. “I am getting fascinated each day, Celine. I guess we are done here so I will
Keeping promises? “You are just a liar. You aren't the type to keep promises. Don't give me that gibberish talk.” I told him and he paused as if what I said hit a nerve. I said it with so much confidence as if I had known him all my life. “Did you know me from anywhere?” He asked, his expression a bit suspicious and I tried to remain calm. Nicholas didn't know about our past life, so I needed to act neutral and let him know that these are all my guesses. It's not as if I knew him and even though I actually did know him, I can't reveal that to him. “Of course, I don't. Now get the hell out of here.” I told him but he still walked towards me like a fucking predator who somehow caught his prey. Nicholas closed the fucking distance between us and placed one of his hands on my shoulder. “You know what, I keep having this feeling that I have actually met you before everything happened”, Nicholas said and my heart skipped a beat. Panic surged through me and I prayed that ther
“Were you tailing me?” I said in an outburst, pissed by this bullshit he is showing me. “Did you think it was a joke? I get whatever I want, young woman.” He said and I hate that ego. The fact that he thought the world revolved around him, which is not true. I could have left, run away and left the whole of LA but in this lifetime, I don't want to be a coward. I'm going to face everything head-on without backing away. “And you think I am that easy. Release the article. You think I care.” I asked him and he smiled m “Maybe you don't but think about your father. I think he still has a reputation to take.” Nicholas said with a straight face. “You must be sick in the head if you think threats like this work on me?” I asked him and he placed his hand on my shoulder, which I pushed away immediately. “Then let's wait and see,” Nicholas said and stood up from his seat. “The document will be given to you in the next hour. Have it signed between now and tomorrow, then we can pr
CELINE Then I laughed, thinking maybe he was joking. “Is that a threat or a plea?” I asked and he rubbed his palms together. His tempting grey eyes watched me and I swallowed. “I don't want to know whichever way you put it but you can't escape this marriage,” Nicholas said as if it were a rule I have no right to go against. A debate I have no choice but to support. “How are you so sure of that?” I asked him and he thrust his hand inside his pocket. He was trying to back up his claim. Fine. Let's see what you have. “Check this out,” Nicholas said and tossed his phone to me. I checked what was on the screen. A message between him and a reporter. My picture with Nicholas' brother was taken. I read their chat and discovered that the reporter was actually trying to write fake news about me, claiming I go around hanging out with different men. Another picture of me was also taken in a club. Whatever these two are planning, they are planning to destroy my life. I never knew Nichola
I inhaled the scent of her soap hoping it would calm me down a bit because I am about to barge in there to drag Thelma out. “ Come on. I know you are doing this deliberately.” I said and I heard the glass door drag shut. Thelma stepped out of her dressing room and came out with a stunning brown dress. “Tada!” She exclaimed and placed the dress on the bed.. My eyes caught the elegant design of the dress and my anger melted instantly. “So you think you will come to my place and I won't be able to get you a dress that befits a queen like you,” Thelma asked jokingly and I picked up the dress, which looked absolutely stunning. “Well, I thought so until you showed me one,” I replied with the same energy and Thelma smiled “Let me quickly dress you up,” she said and took the box placed beside the dress out “This is a pair of panties for you,” Thelma said and tossed them to me. "You can pick the one you want." “And this bra” I grabbed the bra and took out the bathrobe.
CELINE“I heard about what happened between you and Nicholas. Father is hellbent on marrying you to him even after I pleaded. I don't know why he is insisting.” Rachel said, her eyes filled with sympathy. It is clearly not her fault and I have a feeling that she might have heard about everything b
CELINE “You can't tell me to kiss him in public. It's not appropriate” I text Nicholas back, hoping he will finally drop this. It sounds bizarre to me. Why would he want to watch me kiss another man? Or did he already notice that I might be lying from the beginning? Did he realise something I
“How is that not appropriate when he is your fiancé? I need you to do the needful and kiss your man. That will convince me to stay clear of you.” I read the text and held my phone tighter. If I were a cartoon character, there would definitely be smoke coming out of my nose and eyes right now. Wh
VALERIA POV I retired to my room after having a long talk with Lady Eliona. I still found Xyrus' behaviour nerve-wracking. He indeed held to his reputation and he was gentle enough not to force himself on me when I was acting all possessed, trying to kiss him. That only shows that he is not inter
