All Chapters of HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Both Celine and Bianca were surprised by Starr’s words.“Why?” Celine’s fear gradually increased that her daughter might not want to be with her anymore. “Did you forget to take something important there?”Starr shook her head and said the reason, “It’s so beautiful out here. There’s so much to see, and it’s so bright. It’s like there are so many lights being used because it’s so bright. I thought there were only walls and ceilings outside.”Celine’s heart ached as she listened to Starr describe their surroundings. It struck her deeply this was Starr’s first time seeing the outside world since being hidden away, and that even the simple sunlight filled her with wonder.“The world outside this forest is even bigger and more beautiful, sweetheart. We’ll see many wonderful things around us,” Celine said, trying to reassure her.Starr held back her tears as she shook her head.“Why, sweetheart? Why do you want to go back there?”“It’s scary here, Mummy. You’re hurting, you have blood and

Starr then noticed Bianca, but still kept her gaze fixed on the path they had come from.“Starr, what are you thinking about?”She shifted her gaze to Bianca. “Mummy,” she replied innocently. “Why isn’t she here yet? She said she’d follow right away. We’re so far away from her.”Bianca didn’t know how to answer the child’s questions without making her c

CELINE’S POV-Lucian, with a smile playing on his lips, called out to me, “Hon.”He scanned me, his gaze traveling the length of my body in a slow, deliberate descent. He stared at my wounds and the gunshot I had sustained.His eyes darkened, a storm gathering within his depths as he snarled, “Who did this to you? Point them out to me. Tell me which of my men dared to lay a hand on you.”He took off his coat and placed it on my shoulder in front of my body.“Let’s get out of here, hon.”Before he touched my hand to lift me, I pulled his hand away, throwing his coat in his face.“I would rather die right here, in this spot, than go with you again,” I declared, my voice thick with fury.I did everything I could, I even held my breath so he wouldn’t find me.I forced myself to stand up and walk as far as I could.I saw a bigger and wider tree. I sat down on its roots and leaned against the tree.When he found me, I pretended to listen intently to everything she was saying, hoping she wo

CELINE’S POV-“We have to go back for Courtney!”“Madame, it’s dangerous. We need to get out of here, especially you.”“Courtney needs to get out of here and get treated too!”He stopped running.He scanned the surroundings, searching for a tree strong enough to bear my weight as he lowered me. With utmost care, he eased me down until my feet touched the ground, then gently supported me against the tree’s trunk.“Use my shirt first, madam.” he instructed, then took off his black clothes.“But what about you? The air is cold.”“If others catch up with you without clothes, my body might be as cold as the wind,” he joked. “I’ll help you get dressed.”He put the sleeve of the shirt on my arm followed by my head. Using his fingertips he helped take off the clothes.“Ronnie, Courtney needs you too. Please, go back to her,” I implored.“I’m just kidding, madame.”“Huh?”“She could get through that, even if she was completely broken.”I suspected he was just trying to downplay it to ease my

CELINE POV-I turned my gaze to Lance, in surprise, silently asked for an explanation.Lance offered a faint smile as a response, also not knowing the reason behind it.“Sweetheart, Starr,” Lance called softly. “I’ll come sit next to Mummy Celine, do you want that?”“Y-Yes, d-daddy...” Starr uttered, her voice nearly voiceless.I watched Lance until he sat on the edge of the bed. Following that, he gently lowered Starr onto the bed.“Starr... Can I hug you too?” I asked again. Starr turned to Lance as if asking his permission. Lance, warmly smiled at our daughter then nodded.Starr turned back to me after Lance nodded.I pushed myself up from the bed, leaned in closer to Starr, and enveloped her in a warm hug to show her my love.We slowly began to hear Starr’s sobs until she spoke, “I’m sorry, Mummy. You were put in danger because of me; you slept for so long because of me.”After hearing those words, my heart wept uncontrollably.I broke the hug, I gently caressed Starr’s little c
