CHAPTER 007

CELESTE:

“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

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   HIGH FEVER.

    CHAPTER 15.CELESTE:Sister Theresa didn’t let me off after that. There was no way she was going to do so. My head was still banging as I uprooted the weeds in the garden with my bare hands.“Celeste, you shouldn’t be doing this. This is wickedness at this point.” Esme angrily said, her hands tightly wrapped around the bars surrounding the garden. “Why are you so worried? I’ve done this so many times. It’s not as if I’m going to die doing it.” I responded, with a slight shudder.“Oh please, leave it be. I’m already helping out. Go sit down or something.” She reprimanded.“It’s fine. I can manage.” I tried to convince her, but she didn’t look convinced.She walked up to me and pulled me up.“You sound so pale and—Oh my goodness, Celeste, you’re burning up! You have a fever!” She shrieked in panic.“What? No. I'm fine. I am probably just reacting to the sunlight.” I shrugged it off, and she scoffed.“Now, this is the height of it.” She let go of me to pick up our stuff, and I staggered

    CHAPTER 14.CHRISTAIN:“Matteo, I need you to do something for me.” I stated as I stepped out of the car. He shut the door behind me and took off my coat.“What is it?” He questioned.“Keep an eye on Celeste—and Sister Theresa. I think she might be mistreated by her. I have noticed the fear in her eyes whenever she sees her. The kids too—““Theresa? She is a disciplinarian. It’s nothing. Whoever goes against her rules gets punished.” Matteo responded, in an attempt to wave off my thoughts.My brows furrowed on hearing that.“No. I don’t believe that. If there’s one thing I know, it is the fact that Celeste is really obedient.” I argued, and Matteo shrugged.“Okay. I’ll do my findings. If she is actually being mistreated, what do I do to Theresa?” He asked, and my eyes darkened.A cruel smile laced my lips. “Leave that to me.”I returned to my bedroom, and just as I was about to take off my shirt, her face flooded into my vision.“Little Angel”. I mumbled, a small smile playing on my l

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   A ROSARY FOR MY SILENCE

    CHAPTER 13CELESTE:My feet hurt badly now. I had been standing at a spot for the past three hours now, waiting for the candle flames to go out. Sister Theresa had lit five big candles, and was only going to question me when they went out. Till then, I was going to keep standing. My tummy was rumbling hungrily, it was way past dinner time. Sister Theresa had gotten her meal down to her bedroom with the excuse that she didn’t feel so good.Esme was right.She is a horrible witch!Two of the candles had gone out now. At this point, I could barely feel my legs.“Stop moving!” She ordered the moment I tried to wriggle my legs.“Sister, my legs are aching.” I mumbled.“Are the candles out now?” She questioned, and I meekly shook my head in negation.“So, shut up.” She responded, glaring at me. I wondered what doctrine she lived by, because only a follower of Jezebel would act like that. She knelt down beside her bed to say the rosary, and I stared at her with contempt. Dear Lord, Mother

    Chapter 12CELESTE: As soon as the mass was over, I rushed out alone. Walking out with Christian would only prove whatever it is Sister Theresa was thinking, and I wasn’t ready for her questioning. Thankfully, Christian didn’t go after me.I ran to the garden and leaned on the fence, trying to catch my breath. Lord, please. I had barely prayed as a result of Christian’s presence. My thoughts and emotions were so scattered, and I was panting.“Celeste?” I felt a hand on the small of my back, and I jumped in fright.“What?” I shrieked. I turned to see it was Esme, and standing next to her was Alice, clutching her teddy bear.“Jesus. Celeste, are you okay? You look so pale and agitated. What is going on?” Esme questioned, with a concerned expression on her face. I glanced at Alice before looking back at Esme.“I have told you before. Stop scaring me. I’m fine.” I said, looking away. “You are lying. What is going on? Why are you acting so jumpy?” She questioned again, and I sighed.“Y

  • SIN FOR ME, VIRGIN NUN   NEVER WANTING TO FALL

    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
