Celine’s POV

After I finish narrating everything that has been going on in the past four three months, my hands fidgets by my sides as I wait for her to say something but she just… stares at me.

My own words echo in my ears and I wonder if she hears it too. It felt like something I’ve torn out of myself and laid on the table without knowing what to do next. My throat burns. My chest feels too tight. For a second, I wonder if I should add something—clarify, explain more, soften the parts that so

  • The Billionaire’s Fake Bride    Chapter 107- Love Is Uncomfortable

    Celine's POVThe look on Tiana’s face when she asked that question made me wonder what exactly she's getting at.‘What is really going on with you?’ The question rang in my mind like an alarm.I stared at her pointedly. Then, for a moment, I almost laughed, though the sound never actually made it out of my throat.“Excuse me?” I finally said, leaning back slightly in my chair as if distance alone could make the question less intrusive. “You came all this way because Celeste is what? Worried?”Tiana simply watched me, unflinching, her fingers resting loosely around the glass of water I had given her.“Yes,” she said calmly. “She is worried about you.”I scoffed, feeling a bit silly.“Worried for what?” I asked, my eyebrows lifting in disbelief. “I’m perfectly fine. I don’t understand why she’s worried. She never voiced anything to me.”My fingers twisted together in my lap.“How come she’s so worried and she never told me?” I continued, feeling irritation gather beneath my ribs. “And s

  • The Billionaire’s Fake Bride    Chapter 106- Unpleasant Suprise

    Celine’s POVWhen I open the door, the last person I expect to see standing there is Tiana Hawthorne.For a moment, I simply stare at her.She looks… troubled. Not disheveled exactly, because someone like Tiana Hawthorne probably couldn’t look disheveled even if the world were collapsing around her, but there is something in the set of her shoulders, something in the tightness of her expression that makes my brows pull together in confusion.Why is she here?The thought echoes loudly inside my head that I almost believe I voiced it out.Why would she come here? After everything, it feels unnatural to see her outside her fancy house, and frankly I don't feel so hot for visitors after the way everything between Lucien and I detonated so spectacularly.My voice finally finds its way out of my throat.“Why are you here?”Her lips curve slightly, not quite a smile, more like the ghost of one. She's wearing a pale blue dress shirt that's tucked into well-pressed black pants, making her look

  • The Billionaire’s Fake Bride    Chapter 105- Complications.

    Celine's POVI stare at Lucien for a very long time. He didn't look like he was just getting the news. If anything, he had known for a while because there is no trace of surprise on his face, just a slight hint of annoyance of some sort.His hair slightly messy, like he ran his hands through it a hundred times before walking over. His shirt sleeves rolled up. I hate that I notice everything about him. It was almost repulsive, given our history together.“I need to talk to you, Celine.”Yeah, no doy! But as I think about it, I can’t help but wonder if I even want to know. I've left that part of my fucked life behind. It’s no longer my concern.“There’s nothing left to say,” I mutter without much conviction as I slide the cover back over the trash.“There’s everything left to say,” he presses. That one lands somewhere I do not want to examine.I fold my arms over my chest, suddenly aware of how vulnerable I feel standing in the morning sun, exposed to my ex fake husband.“You’ve been tr

  • The Billionaire’s Fake Bride    Chapter 104- What You Don't Know

    Celine's POVLucien, Lucien, Lucien!I'm starting to get annoyed by the mention of him, which is all the time. Apparently, my sister thinks he's trying to tell me something and I should give him a chance. You'd be shocked at how people switch up all the time.He's always in my face, trying to help me lift this and that, totally abandoning his company and family to be here when I don’t even want him, and I hate how much butterflies flutter in my belly whenever he shows up and offers to help with something—rubbing my feet, massaging my shoulders, even lifting my sore boobs so I feel relieved.They were all very tempting, but if I intended to avoid him, then accepting any help from him would be a totally horrible idea.I shut my eyes and made my way out of the building with two bags of trash dragging behind me. The morning sun was warm against my skin, and…“Need help with that?”Oh fudge.Of course he would see me just when I decided to step out of the house. He was stalking me. Of cours

  • The Billionaire’s Fake Bride    Chapter 103- Don't Overdo It

    Celine's POVI step inside the apartment, my bag heavy on my shoulder, my bump heavier than I expected. The air feels smaller here, tighter, like it’s been waiting for us to return.Especially with Lucien just standing around, staring at me.“You’re going to keep doing that?” I ask, slipping my shoes off slowly. “Or are you planning to say something?”His eyes don’t wander, don’t shift, don’t blink too quickly—they stay on me. My skin tingles under his focus.“You look tired,” he finally says, his voice low.“I just spent two days in a hospital,” I reply dryly. “What gave it away?”His jaw tightens slightly, but he doesn’t rise to it. He just keeps looking at me, like he’s trying to memorize the way my hair falls across my shoulder, the curve of my lips, the subtle swell of my stomach.I force a small smile. “What?”He doesn’t answer, doesn’t move.The silence stretches, and it makes my chest ache in a way I didn’t expect. Then the sound of footsteps, soft but deliberate. Celeste appe

  • The Billionaire’s Fake Bride    Chapter 102- Try Again

    Celine's POV His hand is still resting against my stomach when the baby moves again. His fingers are overly careful, like he’s afraid even breathing will disturb it. His eyes lift to mine, and there’s something fragile there. Something almost reverent. And then the monitor beside me changes. The steady rhythm shifts. Just slightly faster. I don’t notice it immediately, still focused on Lucien. But he notices. His head turns toward the machine before I even process the sound. “Is that normal?” he asks, his voice tightening. Before I can answer, a wave of dizziness washes over me. It hits fast. My vision blurs at the edges, like someone dimmed the room. My stomach twists. I inhale, but the air feels thin. Lucien’s hand leaves my stomach and grips my shoulder instead. “Celine?” I try to respond, but my tongue feels heavy. The door flies open, and a nurse steps in, then pauses when she hears the monitor. Her expression changes completely. A look of concern crosses her face as she
