The Billionaire's Rejected Wife (The Heart Betrayal Series)

Celine's POVWhen I was four, my mum told me the story of Cinderella and I was fascinated by it. I wanted my love story to be like that of Cinderella. I wanted my own prince charming.Back then, I asked my mum "mommy, do I have a prince charming like Cinderella?"My mom gave me that loving smile which I missed so much. The thought of her beautiful smile is the only thing that can calm me down when I find myself in a difficult situation."Of course baby, you have a prince charming just like Cinderella."I smiled, happily bouncing on my toes in excitement. I was happy that I had a prince charming; someone who would come around someday and sweep me off my feet. "Mommy, I want to meet him."She laughed and pulled me to sit on her lap. "You will meet him someday when you're older, and he's going to love you so much, just like Cinderella's prince.""B_ But what if he doesn't like me?" I asked sadly, but my mum hushed me gently."He will baby because you are the smartest, kindest and the mos

Celine's POV.The ride back to Carter's mansion was filled with utter silence. Abel had his head rested on the headboard of his seat with his eyes tightly shut. Probably avoiding any conversations with me. I desperately wanted to talk to him; I felt like it was my fault that he lost the woman he loved. If only he hadn't been forced into this marriage, he would probably have been proposing to Taylor. But deep down I was glad that Mr Carter made this decision. I wasn't sure if I could take Abel marrying another woman.We arrived at the mansion thirty minutes later and Abel was the first to get out of the car. He didn't say a word to me and instead headed straight inside without a single glance in my direction. His actions stung a little, but I assured myself that someday he would come to realize just how much I adore him."Are you okay, miss Celine?" I was so drowned in my own thoughts that I didn't notice the concerned look Jerry was throwing at me."I'm fine" I replied with a small sm

Abel's POVI sat in my well furnished office, staring down at the busy city through my glass office walls.I twirl my pencil in a daze, thinking back to last night when Taylor kicked me out of her house after I had gone to see her, after the wedding ceremony.The torn look on her face was a torture to my heart.If only I could turn back the hands of time and talk some sense into my old man, if only he had given me an early warning before making such a stupid decision, then all this wouldn't have happened.Now i'm stuck with the girl I hate the most in the world, and the woman I love hates me now.But I won't let this nightmare go on.Celine must think she have won, she must think that marrying me was all she needed to do to get me trapped in her God forsaking love fantasy.But I am going to make her see reality, I am going to make her realize that marrying me is the worst mistake she has ever made and then I am going to prove to Taylor that all these was a big misunderstanding and I s

Celine's POVThe ride back home was silent as usual. Abel said nothing to me, he didn't even ask me where I was while the party was still going on. If anything, he look really happy.We finally arrived at the mansion and Abel got out of the car, ignoring me as he walked towards the entry.I got out after him and followed behind slowly. I was sad by his ignorance towards me but my sadness didn't last long when I thought of someone who did everything to make me laugh.A smile lit up my face at the thought of him, I sure would not be forgetting about him anytime soon.Abel was already sited on the sofa when I walked in. He watched me with a bored expression as I stroll across the room towards the stairs, nervous by his fixed stare on me."Sit, I want to talk to you" he commanded, and like a lost puppy, I walked towards the arm chair opposite him and sat down obediently.This is the first time we were ever sitting down together like this for a talk, it made me wonder what Abel wants to ta

Celine's POVI was crying throughout the ride back home and the cabby kept glancing at me like he wasn't sure what to make of me. I totally ignored him and went on sobbing my pain away.It's so painfully clear to me now. Abel will never love me and there is no use hoping to win his heart.I did everything I could to make him look at me even for once, but again I ended up failing terribly. I kept hurting myself over and over while clinging to hope, but this is the last straw. I can't do this anymore.I arrived home dejected and broken. Cara and Carin were laughing and making jokes when I walked in, but they stopped at the sight of my miserable state."Celine, is everything okay?" Cara asked in concern but Carin kept a blank face, probably already guessing what happen.I fake a smile and straighten up. thank God I cleaned my teary face before coming in "i'm fine"Cara wasn't convince "how did things go with Abel?"The sound of his name made my heart ached and Cara must have notice somet
