Celine's POVTwo weeks later.I could hear the crowds arriving and getting settled on their seat ready to witness the greatest dance performance of a life time.My hands were shaking slightly with nerves and I tried hard to calm my racing heart down to avoid sweating from nerves so I wouldn't ruin my face that was caked with heavy cosmetics of different kind.I wore a figure hugging spandex shorts with a short flare skirt over it and a flashy diamond covered top which was endlessly sparkling in the bright light of the back stage.I rubbed my sweaty palms together knowing that soon the dance competition would begin and I would be out there showing off my talent to over a thousand people present while awaiting the judgement from the judges.The other contestant were busy getting ready all around me, each running around adding finishing touches to their costumes and dress up some others choose to practice their dance steps alone or with their partners.My heart clench painfully at that w

Celine's POVHappiness?When was the last time I ever felt what it means to be happy?After I lost my family in that car accident, things have been rough for me.I was adopted by the Graysons who thought I was their daughter but my grandma made them believe I was otherwise and for that reason, they abused me only to find out later that I truly was the daughter they were looking for.Finding out the truth was the worst pain I have ever had to go through. I wanted to forgive them, I really do, but sometimes the thought of them apologizing to me just because I turned out to be their daughter made me hesitant. If I wasn't, would they have completely ignored me like they use too? Would they even think about apologizing to me?It was confusing and anytime I felt like letting the past go, the thought came to me unexpectedly and I had no choice but to hold myself back.After so long of living in pain and sadness, I was finally happy. In the end, my endurance did pay off. Abel turned out to be

Ethan's POV.Nothing had changed at all. That was what I noticed the moment I step into my room.The bed was still well made and covered with neat white sheets. I have no doubt that nanny Iren comes in here everyday to clean up.My basket ball was right where I had left it glued to the wall beside my bed. My computer was still on the computer table untouched.Everything was just as it was the day I left. The typical teenage boy's room.I walked in deeper and closed the door gently behind me. I set my luggage down and moved towards my bedside drawer where a night lamp, an alarm clock and a photograph frame sat.I picked up the photo frame with a smile on my face. Gia, Holden and I were laughing at the camera. My arms were around Gianna's neck. She was fourteen then and Holden and I were sixteen.I couldn't help the smile that graze my face. We were all happy then. We were all so close. It was the time when Holden didn't care that I was adopted when he still sees me as a brother and not

Ethan's POVThinking about saving the company was the only thought that ran through my mind for the next few days. The fact that I was the reason why everything went down the drain in the first place was still eating at me and I desperately wanted to do something to ease the guilt.Gia hates me now and I do understand her reason, but I would give anything for her to talk to me again, to smile at me again. She is my little sister after all, someone I truly cherish and I hated that she couldn't stand my presence anymore.She had made quite an effort to avoid me at all cost. She leaves whenever I joined her at the dinning table and she doesn't even show up when she knows I'm already there.Her ignoring me all the time was killing me, but I'll try my best to fix it. I already lost Celine, losing my siblings as well would only make me feel worse.I straighten my dark grey suit and adjusted my tie to make myself look smart. My hair was all pulled back giving me a more proffessional look and

Ethan's POV. I anxiously tapped my foot on the marble floor and repeatedly look down at my watch.It had been a few minutes but Isabella isn't here yet. We had agreed to meet up here today for the first time but she was yet to make an appearance.After signing an agreement with Mr. Gonzales, the marriage date was scheduled. We will be getting married in a few weeks and had very little time to get to know each other, we planned to make use of the time though.Isabella and I had only talked through the phone on many occasions. She was quite a busy person and I was also busy with helping out the company which is going really well now that we were able to get the money we lost.We haven't had a proper chance to meet up, but today happens to be a free day for both of us and I wouldn't deny I was nervous to meet her. I was meeting my future wife for the first time and I was curious about her.A few more minutes of waiting, my eyes caught sight of a lady walking in through the glass doors o
