CELESTE “My voice?” I saw the puzzle in Elias’ eyes. “I can’t be mistaken… it was your voice that I heard inside my….” I paused as I shook my head. No, I know what he’s thinking. “Never mind. Just go back to your room,” I said and walked towards my bed, but soon as I stepped twice, he grabbed me by the hand and pulled me closer to him. I met his gaze when I looked up and frowned. “I’m sleepy—” I didn’t finish my words when he suddenly claimed my lips. A shiver ran down my spine when he pressed his lips into mine. My heart thumped fast as his lips moved. He nibbles my lower lip as his hands gently press my back, caressing it. A moan slipped out of my mouth when he deepened it, making me join his pace. My body is feeling warm and afraid it will burst and result in a fire. This time, the intensity of his kiss is filled with hunger and lust, and what’s this…? Why am I feeling a shade of longing? I can push him away if I want him to stop, but my body tells me it’s OK. M

CELESTE After he left, I went to the bathroom and took a warm shower before I got down and prepared his breakfast. Since he loves soup, I searched for recipes besides the common stews he let me cook. But the thing is, some ingredients are fresh from the market. I don’t know where did he go after he left. Maybe he went to his office inside the house or back to his room. Also, I am curious about what his office looks like. Oh, girl, here we go again about the curiosity. I shook my head as I continued to stir. I brewed some soya beans for myself and then prepared the table. When I lifted my head, I saw him walking towards the table. “Morning,” I greeted, and I didn’t expect he would respond. “Morning,” he replied as he pulled the chair and sat down. “Do you want to come to the company to do it?” I frowned. “Hmm… what will I do there? Also, I need to do the laundry,” I replied as I placed the soup bowl before him. “It’s just across the street. Maybe it’s time for you to le

CELESTEHere I am again, feeling strange because of his kiss and touch. It seems like I have known him for so long, but I don’t know when.I’m afraid to ask him again about it. I’m not too fond of his cold aura every time I am asked about it.I held into his shoulder to support my body, and he put his left hand on my waist.A soft moan slipped out of my mouth then suddenly, he pulled away, making me open my eyes… confused.I saw his chest move up and down rapidly; seems he was catching his breath. I met his gaze, and I bit my lower lip.I bowed my head as I averted my eyes from him.“I will not apologize,” he said. And it seems like a Deja Vu since he also told that the last time.I pressed my lips together as I nodded my head. I lifted my head to meet his gaze once again. “I don’t want to ask. I’m already tired of asking and not getting any answers. All I’m sure of was that I’m happy and safe every time you’re near me.” I shook my head as I clutched my blouse. “It’s strange t

CELESTEI don’t know what to say. Sometimes he’s sweet and afterwards he’s cold. I couldn’t understand him since he was not making it serious when we talk about something. Seems like I don’t know him even more. Even after he saved me from my own misery.My eyes roamed around and I noticed it was not my room. It was Lucius' room. I stood up from his bed and walked out of the room. I didn’t know why he was doing this and still fresh in my memory.“Where is he?” I asked myself.‘Looking for me, princess?’ that voice again. It’s his voice again.I closed my eyes as I stops walking from the corridor. It was Lucius' voice and I’m certain that it was his. I can’t be wrong.I started to feel goosebumps when a cold breeze of the wind hugged my tiny body. I slowly opened my eyes and was startled when I saw Lucius' face.“W-What are you doing?” I almost stumble where I stand. I swallowed a lump in my throat and wasn’t even surprised when this man in front of me smiled.“You’re looking fo

ELIASI think the beast inside of me came out the moment I took this woman beside me. She’s peacefully sleeping and my plans got ruined now. I looked at her intently. She seems vulnerable even after I saved her from her abusive family.I get up slowly. I picked up my clothes and put them back on me. I just cover her with the comforter and left her alone in her room. As soon as I went back to my room, I already smell her scent on my body.“Damn it!” I cursed.I closed my eyes and went to the bathroom to take a bath again. I don’t have plans anymore to go out with her. I heaved a deep sigh while showering myself.“I’ll give you the pleasure of avenging yourself to the people who abused you, princess,” I whispered.If only I could turn her into a monster but I want her just to be innocent and just vulnerable. She wasn’t thinking of the possible consequences of revenge. I must say she’s desperate to get revenge on the people who hurt her that much.“What are you willing to do if I help yo
