CELESTINE's P O V‘‘I'll go out first...,’’ Arnold said after fixing himself and I nodded in response, not taking a glance on his direction as I pulled my pants up and tidied up my clothes.He sighed, pulling me closer to plant a kiss on my temple before he opened the door, leaving me alone inside the restroom.After Arnold had left, I stared at the door that was now closed and laughed to myself. I had no doubt that Leina was aware of everything that was going on, and now I'm curious as to what she planned to do once Arnold and I had returned to the dining room.I proceeded to lock the door before I climbed up on the sink and took down the mini spy camera that was almost invisible. I smiled victoriously as I slipped it into my pocket and brushed off my palms together.This will slowly torture and break you, Leina… and dad.When I emerged from the restroom and returned to the dining table, I found that Mrs. Maxwell had already left. Cynthia was beaming from ear to ear as she conversed

CELESTINE’s P O V"Listen to what I have to say, Cynthia..." I added. “Even if it wasn’t me, he still won’t choose you. It’s impossible for you two to be more than what you are now! You’re cousins!”‘‘Why do you care?!’’ she roared, reaching out again to close the window, but I was able to stop her as I grabbed her hands and yanked them on her sides. ‘‘If you've really committed yourself to doing it, down from here!’’“What?” She was unable to move because I had control of her, and her expression was one of shock as she swallowed while looking first at me and then at the water below.I smirked and let go of her. ‘‘You don't even have the guts to end your own life...’’ I spoke in a whisper. ‘‘How are you going to be able to face the rumors and the criticism that will come your way if you continue to feel the wrong way about him...?’’The corner of her mouth twitched. “W-what… that’s bullshit!” she stammered indignantly.‘‘You know about my reputation…’’ I said. ‘‘Are you able to hold u

ARNOLD's P O VIt's been three months since Celestine left the city and the villa… and today is the day that her sister, Leina, and I will finally get married.My parents came to the conclusion that they wanted to throw the ‘‘Wedding of the Century,’’ so they invited a large number of guests and spent no less than one hundred million dollars on the event, which was lavish in every sense of the word.At an early hour of the morning, the Maxwell villa was packed with many people. The entire building was surrounded by reporters from a variety of countries on all sides. After one another… luxury cars pulled up, and the passengers who exited the vehicles were celebrities and other well-known figures on their way to the event.Directors of local companies, as well as high-ranking officials from various city and county government agencies, arrived incognito. Even though Julian's parents had arrived three days earlier to lend a hand and Dad was extremely busy, the amount of work that needed t

CELESTINE's P O VI object!Two words that caused the entire audience to fall silent as they looked at me with wide-open mouths and shocked expressions on their faces. Nearly all of them turned their heads in my direction, as though they were wondering who was the courageous woman that brought an end to this grand and luxurious wedding.I smirked as I slowly took off my cap and mask, showing them my face as I moved closer to the groom and the bride, who were staring at me in shock--- Oh… it was only my sister who seemed taken aback at my presence because the groom appeared as though he was expecting this to happen.‘‘Isn't she the bride's sister…?’’ I picked up on what someone in the crowd said.‘‘Oh my God! She's the black sheep of the Wheeler family!’’I expressed surprise by raising an eyebrow, but I didn't bother to look at the person who had made this statement. I have always been conscious of the fact that this was how other people saw me; they considered me to be a black sheep,

CELESTINE's P O V‘‘You have no choice but to leave! Now!’’ Mrs. Maxwell suddenly stood up, and while she was doing so, she motioned for one of the bodyguards to come over to assist her. He stopped beside her, carrying a black shoulder bag, and he handed it to her. Arnold’s mom opened her bag and flung a check at my face. ‘‘That's the equivalent of five million dollars! Leave this place and get lost!’’When I bent down to pick up the check after it had fallen at my feet, I raised my eyebrows to look at the amount of money that was written on it. ‘‘That is incredibly kind of you, Mrs. Maxwell... I am grateful.’’‘‘Get out of here!’’ she shouted on my face. ‘‘Leave! Now!’’I raised both hands into the air in a mocking way and turned around to leave, but as I did so… I heard a low sound reverberate through the speakers, and when I turned my head to check who it was, my heart raced when I saw Arnold holding the microphone. The priest who had been holding it moments earlier was nowhere to
