CALISTA'S POV

Celine was already waiting at the entrance of the gallery. She was standing right beside the manager of the gallery, and from a distance, it was obvious the two were hitting it off as Celine kept laughing.

The young man, standing at 6'3, almost as tall as Raviel beside me, was seemingly fawning over Celine with a bright smile on his face.

Even without getting close, I could tell he was very interested in Celine... and she didn't look too different.

A knowing smile formed on my face, and I slowed my pace, intending to give them more time.

It was rare to see Celine showing any interest in a man...

The seemingly long distance due to my intentionally slow pacing finally decreased, and we stood before them. "Hum." I cleared my throat to attract their attention.

Celine jolted, and her eyes widened in surprise. However, her composure soon returned, and she bowed slightly. "Miss," She greeted, and our eyes met.

'Plenty gist?" I asked through my eyes.

  • Unholy Desire: Lustbound   CHAPTER 44: DOUBT

    CALISTAMy brows twitched. What did she mean?Selene laughed maniacally. "What a big fool. No one likes you, Calista. No one will ever do."My heart pounded. Breath hitched and breathing became difficult. My legs weakened, and I nearly fell, but a pair of hands held my waist from behind. Turning my head, I saw Raviel smiling down at me. A rarely genuine smile. Comforting and assuring. I swallowed and closed my eyes. How could I let Selene's words affect me so much?Selene wasn't human. She was a devil!A beast in a human form. So, why should I believe what she said? Why would I believe what she said to me?My skin prickled. I rubbed roughly, and for a moment, I felt like I had traveled back in time. I was on the ground, small and trembling. Tears rolled down my face as whips tore my skin. Laughter rang in the air. Not many people, but a person. Selene. Her small hand... we were less than 16. We were so young, but she was so evil. I was in pain, but she laughed. She enjoyed

  • Unholy Desire: Lustbound   CHAPTER 43: CONFRONTATION

    CALISTA'S POV I hooked my arm around Raviel's as I greeted the executives who came around. "Miss Calista," I suddenly heard a call behind me. A familiar voice. My smile faltered, and my eyes flickered with Raviel, who was beside me. Our eyes hooked. Our arms were hooked...I sighed and finally turned around, facing Selene. "Hi?" I greeted with a smile. Selene's eyes sized Raviel, and she crossed her arms. "See who's here." She laughed. "Isn't this our Calista with someone else? Or has Mr. Severin changed so much?" She questioned. My heart sank slightly. Selene was a Bitch. She would stop at nothing to make sure Severin knew about my relationship with Raviel..."Maybe you need your eyes checked, Selene," I muttered and quickly composed myself. Even if she said anything, it didn't matter. Severin had never monitored me, and with a few words, I could always let him understand that there was nothing between Raviel and me. Raviel wasn't the type to talk either. Selene snickered.

  • Unholy Desire: Lustbound   CHAPTER 42: FAILED... AGAIN

    DRAKE'S POVI stood at the corner, watching as everyone attended to each other. No one knew me, and honestly, I wasn't supposed to be there. I wasn't invited. However, wherever my target was, I had to be. It had been this way for two years already, and while I hadn't gained much, I wouldn't back off either. It was a work given to me, and it needed to be done without flaws. I slowly sipped the fruit wine in my glass while my eyes lingered on the target, a frown deepening on my face as I tried to see through the man next to her. Tall, handsome, but none of these features mattered when compared to the danger I felt whenever I looked at him. Even when he wasn't looking, his presence was like a bomb. He was like a snake watching through the ceiling, capable of wrapping around my neck anytime. Though I knew he might not know about my presence at the moment as no one in the room would, considering my disguise___ a brown wig and a pair of black glasses. I took the identity of an heir

  • Unholy Desire: Lustbound   CHAPTER 41: A FLICKER OF AFFECTION

    CELINE'S POVI stood behind Calista and Mr Raviel with a calm expression on my face, but my mind worked efficiently. "Continue monitoring his office. Report to me as soon as he comes out." I said into the earpiece and ended the call promptly. My eyes flashed at Calista again, and I inwardly sighed in relief when I realized she hadn't noticed the call. Mr Severin... He mustn't know about Mr Raviel's existence. Calista had decided to keep it secret, and it made me wonder why she kept inviting Mr Raviel to places with crowds. Where people could easily see them and probably report back to Mr Severin. But whatever the case was, my duty was to make sure Mr Severin's movement was under watch, and I could immediately put things under control the moment he stepped out of his company. A ring interrupted my thoughts, and I tapped the earpiece. "What's it?" I asked. "Miss Celine, the data has been encrypted safely. Be assured. No one can hack it anymore."Hearing the word of the professio

  • Unholy Desire: Lustbound   CHAPTER 40: BY DANTE?

    CALISTA'S POV I turned around and glanced at Celine, who quietly nodded and excused herself. "I'm done here. Let's go, Raviel." I said to Raviel. Raviel's gaze, which had stayed on Drake for way too long, finally wavered, and he took my hand, leading me out of the room. We both kept quiet because of Louis and his people behind us, but it seemed Raviel had as much as I had in mind. We walked quietly, seemingly enjoying the different paintings in the room while receiving the greetings of the guests around. Raviel's fingers never left mine all through the time we spent walking around. His eyes lingered on me more than they ever did on the paintings, and for some reason, my heart wouldn't stop fluttering. My phone buzzed, and I secretly checked. *I've archived everything. Nothing can be found.*It was a message sent from Celine. I sighed in relief and finally focused my attention on the works of art around us while also waiting for Celine's return. Hours passed, and the exhibitio

  • Unholy Desire: Lustbound   CHAPTER 39: DRAKE

    CALISTA'S POV "He's your father, isn't he?" Raviel asked. My eyes flashed, and disgust washed through me. "He once was... but not anymore," I replied and stood up. "The exhibition should start now." Right then, a knock came from the door. "Come in," I said, and conveniently changed the topic. The door opened, and a lady, seemingly in her late twenties, walked in. "Miss Calista, Mr Raviel, what would you like me to serve you?" She asked with a subservient tone. I glanced at Raviel, who nonchalantly shrugged and returned his gaze to his phone. Then, I returned my attention to the lady and revealed a polite smile. "We are okay," I replied. "By the way, when is the exhibition starting?" The lady smiled. "Mr Louis should be here to pick you up any moment..." She replied. I knew it was her way to tell us she had no idea. However, the door opened in the next seconds, and Louis walked in, accompanied by the smiling Celine. "Miss Calista, Mr Raviel, it's time." He said. I breathed i
