CHAPTER 145

Celeste's POV:

The room smelt like old concrete and cold metal. Not damp, just stale. Forgotten. Like breath trapped in a lung that never exhaled.

My wrists burnt. The rope had been tied too tightly, the fibres digging into skin already raw from struggling. My ankles were bound as well, cutting off just enough circulation to remind me with every heartbeat that I was not free. The chair beneath me creaked when I shifted. The sound echoed too loudly in the silence.

I kept my breathing slow.

Deep enough to stay conscious. Shallow enough that he wouldn’t notice my fear.

The door scraped open.

I felt him before I saw him.

The air in the room changed, becoming heavier and electric in the way storms were electric before they broke. Leather boots crossed the floor unhurriedly. Each step deliberate. Measured. A man who knew he was in control enjoyed reminding the world of it.

Damian stopped in front of me. I kept my head lowered.

“Look at you,” he said quietly. “Alive. Breathing.

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   Birth Complications 

    CHAPTER 154Christian's POV:Hospitals were battlefields of a different kind.There were no guns, no bloodstained marble floors, and no screaming men clawing for their lives, but the fear was sharper here, more insidious. It crept under my skin and lodged itself in my chest, tightening every time I looked at the closed labor room doors and realized I had no control over what was happening on the other side.Control had always been my weapon.Tonight, I had none.I paced the corridor for the third time in under ten minutes, my footsteps echoing too loudly against the sterile floors. The scent of antiseptic burned my nose. Somewhere down the hall, a machine beeped steadily, its rhythm mocking me with its calm.Celeste was inside that room.In pain. Terrified. Pushing her body past its limits. Because of me.I scrubbed a hand down my face and stopped pacing long enough to lean against the wall. My reflection stared back at me from a glass panel, eyes bloodshot, jaw clenched so tightly it

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   BIRTH OF A NEW DAWN

    CHAPTER 153Celeste's POV The ceiling lights blurred into one long, white ribbon as they wheeled me down the corridor.Everything smelled like antiseptic and clean linen and fear. Anxiety caused fear that almost had me fainting.My hands were trembling so badly I had to grip the rails of the gurney just to remind myself that I was still here, that this was real, that this wasn’t another dream where I woke up screaming and reaching for someone who wasn’t there.“Breathe, Miss Celeste. Slow breaths,” a nurse said gently, her voice calm in a way that felt almost unreal.I tried. I really did.But every breath felt too shallow, too sharp, like my lungs were refusing to cooperate. My heart was hammering so hard I could hear it in my ears and could feel it echoing down my spine and into my swollen belly, where my child shifted restlessly, as if she could sense my panic.I was terrified.Not of the pain, though the pain was already clawing through me in waves that made my vision darken, but

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   THE SHAPE OF PEACE

    CHAPTER 152CELESTE:For the first time in months, silence didn’t feel like a threat. It felt like a blessing.I stood barefoot at the bedroom window, one hand braced against the glass, the other resting over the heavy curve of my belly. The estate grounds were washed in early evening gold, with no armoured cars lurking at the gates, no shadows tucked into the trees, and no men pacing with guns slung across their chests.Just wind in the leaves, birds settling for the night, just peace.The war was over. Damian was dead.And somehow… I was still breathing. The thought still didn’t feel real.Christian had stripped the house of guards a week ago. Slowly. Carefully. One post at a time, testing the perimeter like someone easing into cold water. Every removal had made me more nervous at first; terror is a stubborn parasite, but after a few nights of uninterrupted sleep, something in me finally began to loosen.I was safe. My child was safe.For the first time since that night on the road,

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   Aftermath

    Chapter 151Christian's POV:Damian Grimaldi’s death didn’t land like thunder. It was more of an explosion in the underworld.Slow at first. Subtle. Then crushing.The underworld didn’t explode into chaos the way many expected. It reorganised. Predators moved quietly. Borders shifted without announcement. Old allies tested loyalties with innocent questions that carried knives in their smiles.Fear travelled faster than gunfire. Because everyone knew who killed him.And everyone knew why.The Grimaldi empire didn’t fracture overnight; it had already been rotting from the inside. Damian had ruled through terror and isolation. No siblings he trusted. No true second-in-command. Just ghosts and threats. When I took his life, there was no heir strong enough to step into his shadow.The throne stayed empty, and an empty throne invites war.But war never came for me. Not openly anyway. Because the story that spread wasn’t just that I had killed Damian. It was that I walked into hell itself an

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   THE PLACE I BREATHE LAST

    CHAPTER 150CELESTE:Silence stretched between us, thick with everything that had happened and everything that still hurt.Slowly, awareness began to filter back into my body in pieces. The bed was soft, too soft, and even the sheets were too clean.The air smelt like home.I pulled back again, glancing around in confusion. This wasn’t Damian’s mansion. It wasn’t a cold, guarded room with locked windows and cameras in every corner.This was familiar. My heart stuttered.“We’re not… there,” I whispered.“No.”“Then where?”“Home,” he said quietly. “You’re home.”The word hit me with dizzying force.Home. My chest tightened again, but this time it wasn’t only grief.“What happened?” I asked. My voice trembled. “The last thing I remember… I was in the mansion. Damian was yelling. And then you were there, and there was shouting, and everything went loud and bright, and I felt your arms around me, and then nothing.”“You fainted,” he said. “From shock. From blood loss. From exhaustion. Fro

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   Reality hits harder

    Chapter 149Celeste's POV:The scream tore out of me. It ripped through my chest like something feral, something trapped and dying, and when my eyes flew open, the world came rushing back too fast: ceiling, walls, dim light, and the echo of my own voice still vibrating in my throat.Esme.The dream clung to me like smoke. Her laughter was still in my ears. The warmth of her arms around me still burnt on my skin. The sweetness of sugar and the safety of a world that no longer existed still coated my tongue.And then the truth crushed back down.She was gone.My chest seized violently, breath locking inside me as if my lungs had forgotten how to work. I rolled onto my side with a broken gasp and then curled inward, clutching myself as if I could physically keep my heart from shattering out of my ribs.“She was there,” I sobbed into the pillow. “She was there… she was right there…”The sobs poured out of me without warning, without mercy, loud, ugly and uncontrolled. My whole body shook
