CHAPTER 009

CELESTE:

“Celeste William.” he called out in a casual tone, like we were old-time besties or something.

Alice was standing between us, so I had to be nice. “Mr Christian”, I replied, trying to be polite.

He held his gaze for a beat too long. “You know each other?” Alice asked innocently, beaming from ear to ear.

My mouth opened to respond, but he beat me to it. “Yes, we’re good friends.”

A shallow scoff left my throat, just loud enough for me to hear; maybe he did too, because his expression shifted into one of amusement. “Come, Alice,” I said, stretching out my hand. “Maybe we should head inside now.

She was about to leave him when he gently pulled her back. “How did you get that bruise?” He enquired, seeming genuinely concerned.

“Sister—”

I interjected before she finished her sentence. “Alice”, I cautioned. She raised her head to look at me with a confused expression. “He is a guest; we don’t overshare in front of strangers or guests.”

“But he’s your friend,” she a

    CHAPTER 11CELESTE:I could barely sleep last night, and I found myself turning from side to side. My hair was fanned out around my head like a halo as I stared at the ceiling. The more I tried to ignore him, the closer he got to me. After my morning prayer, I took a walk around the chapel to clear my head. The sound of the birds chirping in the background filled my ears as I moved. Here, behind the chapel, nobody would disturb me. Most didn’t even know they could find me here. There was an old rusty bench which I settled on, staring out into space. I closed my eyes, hoping the quiet would hush the noise inside me. But instead, it drew something else out—a memory. Faint and worn like parchment left too long in the sun.A soft voice. A woman’s voice. Humming. Humming something sweet. In my head, the memory was so blurry that I was practically recalling it in black and white. It came and left like a whisper in the wind. I didn’t know her face, not fully. I just remembered warmth and

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   THE WRONG SAVIOR

    CHAPTER 10CELESTE:Matteo’s presence radiated importance. His suit looked expensive—too expensive for a mere visitor—and his polished charm put the entire staff on high alert. Sister Joan was already offering him tea like he was the Pope himself. And me? I stood a little straighter, smoothing out the front of my plain habit.So this was the man who saved us.The man who kept the roof over their heads. The man who gave the children another chance.The benefactor.I approached cautiously after everyone else had had their fill of small talk and fluttering gratitude. He was standing by the courtyard window, arms folded behind his back like someone surveying his land.I cleared my throat. “Excuse me, Mr Bellanti?” The name was sweet against my tongue.He turned, pleasantly surprised. “Yes?”“I just wanted to say… Thank you. From all of us. What you did—it means the world to us. The kids, the staff… me.”He blinked, then offered a modest smile. “You’re very welcome. It’s an honour to suppo

    CHAPTER 008CELESTE:My heart skipped a beat, and I squealed out of joy. “Oh, thank the lord!” I exclaimed, jamming my hands together as I looked towards the ceiling with a faint smile, a sigh of relief escaping my parted lips. Sister Theresa blinked a few times, her expression unreadable. “This is excellent news,” she began, stepping forward. “But who might this donor be?” she asked in her dry, cracked tone.Mother Lucia beamed brightly. “We will all meet with him in due time; I don’t want to say too much just yet,” she replied. Alice raised her head. “Does that mean we get to stay here?” she asked joyfully. “Yes, it does.”She jumped on her feet a few times excitedly, and when nobody was looking, she made sure to stick her tongue out at Sister Theresa, who didn’t take the gesture lightly. “Why, you little—”Her words were cut short when Father Elijah walked in, his lips curling into a warm smile. “Oh, I believe our mother in the Lord here, Lucia, has shared the good news with yo

    CHAPTER 007CELESTE:“Holy Mary!” I jerked, then turned to face him. “What are you doing here?” I asked harshly, staring into his eyes.He smirked, that damn smirk that made me feel drowsy. “You mean what am I doing in a hallway that leads outside?” He gestured all around him to prove his point.I ran my fingers through my hair and exhaled. Esme looked between us and stepped back. “Um, I have to check something at the altar, I will be back.”Before I could open my mouth, she had disappeared. I fought the urge to scream ‘Liar’ at the top of my voice.Not only did she lie, she brought the altar into it. There was absolutely nothing to check at the altar, it wasn’t even time for mass!“Did you just try to avoid me?” he asked in his usual cocky voice.I nervously looked around, trying to spot sister Theresa. I wouldn’t want her to find me talking to him again. “What did it look like to you?” I spat, voice sharp. “It looked to me like you saw me and tried to run the opposite direction wi

    Chapter 006CELESTE: I was leaning against the stone walls in the orphanage lobby, staring into space with vacant eyes. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces. “These children, they deserve so much better,” Esme said softly beside me.“They do.” Alice approached me with a teddy bear in her hands. “I want you to have this,” she said, looking up at me with her wide eyes. My eyebrows knitted in confusion. “Me? Why are you giving me this, Alice? It’s your favourite teddy, which helps you sleep at night.”She shook her head slowly. “The others say I’m a big girl now, and that I need to stop sleeping with my teddy. Plus I want you to have it, so that when I’m gone, you can use it to remember me.”Tears stung the corners of my eyes as my nostrils flared. I covered my mouth with my palms to hold back the sob that threatened to escape. “Alice… you don’t have to.” My voice was soft and choked with emotion. She shouldn’t feel this helpless. She was only but a child. Too young to unde
