CELESTE
I was born without even knowing what my mother looked like. I only know her by name. Selene.According to my late father, my mother died when she gave birth to me. And the rest is blurry. When I was five, my father married Jade—my father’s best friend. Jade came from the West family—a well-known family in the business industry.Jade has a glamorous life, but her demeanor is rubbish. When my father was alive, she treated me like a princess—because dad was there.However, ten years ago, I was fifteen years old, exactly my birthday, I lost my father. He died in a car accident, and that’s also the start of my miserable life.Noah, Jade’s son, came into the picture, and he started to treat me like I was his toy. My once-clear world became dark, and I didn’t see any light of hope from that moment. I don’t know if I will be able to escape.Sleepless nights, aching bodies, traumatic fear… Jade and Noah made me feel these.And I am lost.Then here comes another part of the monsters’ family, Noah’s fiancée, Liza.“What the hell are you doing?!”I got back to my senses when I heard Liza’s voice. I looked up and met her gaze. “I’m sorry,” I mumbled.Liza rolled her eyes at me, then pulled me by the arm. “Fucking get your ass off the bed. Stand near us and watch!”I did what she said, and I almost fell when my knees weakened. Good thing I grabbed the edge of the bed.“Geez, you want to play with this weakling, babe?” Liza’s seductive voice irritates me. I bit my lower lip and pulled myself up.Damn, I didn’t even have my lunch. And my body is still screaming in pain. What’s new? I always feel pain every day—physically and emotionally.“I thought your meeting would last until the evening. How about Mom? Aren’t you with her?” Noah uttered. He darted his gaze at me, but I looked away.I can’t stand seeing those demonic eyes. My hands trembled as my mind started to think about his cruelty, but I managed to calm myself even a little bit.I saw Liza lie down on my modest bed and take off her clothes. “Mom is upstairs, and she’s right.”“Right, about what?”“That you’re playing with Celeste. And if you do not take me here, I will fucking hate you,” Liza replied.My eyes widened when she turned her gaze on me. “Don’t even think about closing your eyes, or you’re dead,” she warned.I want to laugh at her words.Dead?They always told me that if I couldn’t do the thing they wanted—every time, they threatened me.One simple mistake. Just fucking one! And they started to play with me—torture me like I’m a criminal.They’re even worst—they’re demons.I even wish to be with those mythical creatures rather than be with cruel humans like them. I close my eyes for a while and open them again. I’m afraid Liza will catch me.I remember the book my father gave me when I was seven, and it was all about wolves, vampires, witches, and the like. Every time I read it, it seems like that book comforts me.“You are out of focus again, Celeste,” Liza’s stern voice pierced my ears.“I… I’m watching,” I replied.Liza smirked. “Sure, you will,” she said. “Look how Noah kneads and squeezes my boobies. It’s wonderful, right?” she added.I glanced at Noah, and he was grinning demonically while he was massaging his fiancé’s breast.“Y-Yes,” I replied.“Ahh…” Liza started to moan, which irritated my ears, but I couldn’t do anything. I will stay obedient, even just for today.My body is still weak because of Noah’s slaps and punches the other day.I forgot to iron his fucking boxer, and he made me his punching bag already.I don’t know, but I can still survive even if they throw me and beat me to death. I even blame Him. Why He’s making me taste this kind of life? What did I do in my past life to experience this cruelty?Dad always told me to be a good girl—stay humble as I could. And I did. But why?“Oh… that’s it, baby….” Liza’s moan cut the fragments of my thoughts.I frowned as I watched her close her eyes like an idiot while Noah’s pleasuring her.“Oh… suck it, baby,” she said to Noah when the latter went down to her thighs.Noah smirked, and I gasped when he glanced at me. I diverted my gaze and darted it into Liza’s face. Her eyes were closed, showing how she was enjoying their thing.I clenched my jaw when she suddenly opened her eyes. She bit her lower lip and formed a sly smirk on her lips. “This is so damn good, Celeste. Noah is getting better and better when we’re doing this in front of you,” she said.I clenched my fist and glared at her.CELESTE “That’s it, tigress. Get angry, and remember that if you throw me words, I will fucking kill you,” she threatened. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I smiled. “Really? He’s good?” Liza arched her hips when I saw Noah savor her goddamn jewel. “Hmmm… yes. So good that I want him to fuck me every day—oh, Noah,” she caught Noah’s attention. Noah stopped and glanced at me, then at Liza. “What?” Liza smiled. “Why don’t we do this every day in front of Celeste?” I saw how lines were drawn into Noah’s forehead. I hide my laughter inside me. I have known for so long that Noah wants to fuck me, but Liza hinders it, which I am grateful for. Still, when I collect all the memories, where he touches me everywhere, tying me and playing with my thing, it makes me want to kill him slowly and painfully—I want to skin him alive and make him feel all the agony that I felt because of their cruelty. “Babe, the feeling is not great when someone is watching us while I pleasure y
CELESTE “You did a great job, Liza,” Jade said when she saw us. I admit the bitch did great because I can’t see the bruises on my face or shoulders. “Of course, Mom,” Liza answered and stood firm and proud. I wanted to roll my eyes, but I stopped myself. When I turned my gaze to the left, I saw Noah’s staring at me—it seemed like he was memorizing every angle of my body. I looked at myself and pulled the hem of this simple sleeveless black dress. Damn, how could this dress don’t reach my knees? Ugh, I know I am taller than Liza, so that’s why. I clenched my jaw when Noah didn’t bother to look away. Is he still thinking that he can have me? ‘Oh, dream on, demon. You will never have me.’ But the fact that he had already touched and seen every part of my body wanted me to cut his shaft and kill him. Now that I will have the opportunity to see outside, I need to plan how to escape. “Why do I feel like you will do something stupid?” And here he comes, playing like a for
CELESTE “Watch her,” Jade cautioned Noah and Liza immediately upon our arrival at the hotel. “Why can’t we simply tie her to our suite, Mom?” Liza suggested, causing me to heave a deep sigh. “This bitch will undoubtedly cause a scene,” she added. Good gracious with these demons. They should allow me to stay at their house. When I touched my left shoulder, I winced. Even though the bruise is hidden, the pain is still felt. I sighed as I attempted to ignore their blabbering and concentrate on the hotel’s view. It’s opulent and exudes glamour. Dad used to bring me to every party he attended years ago. He was always proud of me and never failed to demonstrate it to anyone he met. However, things have changed. “Let her look for new things,” Jade mumbled and smiled at Liza. They’re conversing as if I’m not hearing them. “Celeste, you will not enjoy it when I am enraged.” I gasped at the sound of Noah’s voice and grimaced at the sensation of his breath brushing against my
“Do not fear, Celeste,” Liza says as she retrieves the whip from Noah’s bag, “this will be quick.”Celeste stood near the bed, her gaze darting to Liza.“Do not do this, Liza,” Celeste pleaded, causing Liza to laugh devilishly.Liza smirked and swung the whip into the air, landing on the carpeted floor with its tip.“Undress. Not unless you desired to be whipped in your dress—”“Stop,” Celeste pleaded with Liza. However, as Liza approached her, the woman laughed and arched her brow.Celeste took a step to the side.“Oh, please don’t tell me you’re going to flee. As if you can,” Liza asserted, swaying the whip towards her, but Celeste moved away unconsciously before being struck.Celeste’s eyes grew wider. She is unaware, but it appears her body was acting on her behalf—her mind was in disarray. All she knew was that she had been a little scared earlier. However, the fact that she has a chance of escaping suggests that there is something within her willing to do anything.“Ama
CELESTEI ran as fast as I could, even though my ankle hurt. I didn’t scream anymore; I was afraid Noah or Jade might hear it instead of someone else.Liza kept calling my name, but I didn’t dare to look back, and I turned to the right side when suddenly, I was pushed back by a strong force, making me stumble on the floor.“Ugh!” I whimpered.I looked up, and my eyes filled with surprise. “E-Elias,” I whispered his name.It was Elias, the man with bottle-green eyes.“What are you—”“Help me,” I begged and looked at my back. I could hear Liza’s footsteps. Good thing I made a turn, but unfortunately, I bumped into his broad hard chest.Elias stretched his hand towards me. I reached for it, and he helped me to get up.“Can you walk—”“Please…” I stared into his eyes, “get me out of here. She’s coming,” I said, and I knew he could feel how my body trembled in fear.“Hurry!” I uttered.I was about to step one foot when Elias carried me into a bridal style and ran towards the st
CELESTEI took a deep breath and stared at the white ceiling. Guess I’m in his house.I tried to get some sleep, but my eyes started to get hurt. Thus, I decided to get out of bed and talk to Elias.I don’t know how to thank him. If it were not for him, I would be imprisoned for a lifetime.Knowing what I did earlier if Noah or Jade caught me, I’m certain that I would receive the greatest punishment.I was about to walk toward the door when I glimpsed my reflection in the full-length mirror.I am wearing a white nightdress. I wonder who changed my clothes… I shook my head and continued to walk towards the door.I was about to twist the knob when someone pushed it, making me fall on the carpeted floor.“Ouch!”“What are you doing at the door?” It was Elias.I looked up and saw his stern facial expression. “I…”“Get up,” he said as he helped me.“T-Thank you,” I replied and felt a little bit embarrassed. I moved away, but he didn’t let go of me.“Didn’t I tell you to take a
“How long, Elias, do you intend to keep the stray?”Elias, who was gazing at the stars outside the window, sipped on his glass of whisky and then turned to face Fred.“What it has to do with you, Fred?”Fred approached him and took a seat on the one-seater sofa. “She’s a stray—”“She does have a name, Fred,” Elias responded, sipping from his glass.“This is a dangerous place for her.”Elias chuckled menacingly and clenched his jaw as he darted his gaze toward Fred.“How?”“Human beings are not permitted here, Eli. And you are aware of this.”Elias gave an unsettling chuckle. “Fred, we are humans.”“Partly, Elias.”Elias rose to his feet and reached for his glass. “Fred, get out of here. There is nothing I wish to discuss with you.”Fred’s fist was clenched, and he gritted his teeth. “You are the Crescent pack’s Alpha—”“Are you questioning my position?” Elias’ bottle-green eyes became evident as he dashed towards Fred, grasping the man’s collar in an instant. He gritted h
CELESTEI don’t know what is happening to Elias. It seemed like something was bothering him, or it was just me.I heaved a deep sigh as I looked past through the window. I am inside the room where he took me when I was unconscious, and it’s been two days since I was here.I asked one of the maids about Elias’ whereabouts when I went down earlier to have a glass of water, and she told me that he was not around.After that, I get back here.One maid told me that my duties would start next week and what am I gonna do for the remaining days?Get bored? Watch boring movies on television. After years of being locked up, I didn’t find films and the like to be interesting, and it is unusual.I should be excited to see those, right? But it’s quite the opposite. Maybe it was the fact that I was preoccupied with Elias’ demeanor.I want to see him and talk to him again. I don’t know, but it was what my heart and mind tell.I was about to get off the bed when I heard a knock, and suddenly
