It repeatedly enters my mind that what I am doing is wrong but I can't step back now. I peeked into the grand mansion. The monster's house That's what they call the man who lives here. I haven't really seen him yet but because of rumors. I couldn't stop my curiousity so here I am. I'm sure my Mama will scold me again when she finds out what I'm doing. I kept hearing so many things about the man named Alexendris Courner. About how ruthless he is and short temper. I wonder, if it's really true. Based on what I see. He is extremenly rich. He has a two storey mansion. I think. His land area is 8 hectares and it is not just a mansion that stands here. "Odd. Why does it seem so quiet?" I asked in astonishment I looked around before approaching the guard house and was surprised to see nothing there. He doesn't have a security guard? In the size of his house. Isn't he afraid to rob? I was hesitant to enter. I know it's trespassing but I can't help myself. I slammed the gate. I almost drowned when I pushed it open. My eyes widened. "A-aren't they already robbed?" Nope! This is not trespassing. I'm just checking. Later they are actually robbed. I'm just a concerned citizen! I shared the sight across the house. I see three sports car parked in the right side. Is there anyone inside? I'm even more nervous e. I made my way through the door. My hand was still shaking as I knocked on the door. No one's answering. "Knock Knock-" I was interrupted by someone speaking behind me. "You!" My chest throbbed when I heard that baritone voice as if the was ready. I slowly turned away. Our eyes met. His deep sharp blue eyes bore at me. There's a dangerous glint in those orbs that pushed me back. He took big steps until he could get close to me. He held my hand and drew me harshly. "You shouldn't be here ... young woman."
CHAPTER ONE
THE feeling of the man's grip on her arm made her cringe. Celestine tried pulling her arm to no avail. He is holding her tightly.
"L-let me go..."
Instead of freeing her. The stranger's infection only got worse. It was as if her arm was about to break.
"How did you get inside my house?"
"Let me go first! It hurts!"She complained.
She kept pulling her arm and telling him to let her go but it seemed like a deaf man that don't let her go. He's really bad. The gossip is enough. she regretted that she even went inside. This is what she got.
"Answer me!" the man demand
"How can I answer you if you seem to be cutting my arm? Let go of me!"
She took a deep breath when he finally let go of the strong grip on her arm. She caressed her sore arm. Thankfully, no one seems to have broken her bone.
"Are you one of them who kept invading my privacy?"
She shook quickly. He got it wrong. she admitted that she was a gossip but she was not the type to know even her most private life. Coincidentally, she thought it had been robbed so she entered the young man's house.
"What are you doing here? How did you get in?" its blue eyes narrowed
"Because your gate is open. I thought ... you were robbed. So I went in to check." she explained
She nodded and bowed as the young man's eyes deepened. she looked like he wasn't believing her.
Celestine doesn't care though whether to believe it or not. And at least, she was able to explain her side.
"You could've call a police to check not by yourself." the man's tone was sharp
His face went with its tone. If he can speak, it's like he's just making an excuse.
"Why did you ask if you don't believe? Tss. I'm already concerned about you. You're still scolding me." Celestine asked bitterly
"I don't need your concern." He spat
Her jaw dropped at how cruel he is. She just laughed. The people around are right. He's one ruthless, arrogant and cruel man who doesn't know how to be grateful. Contrast to his face. He's bad in the inside.
"Instead of thanking me. You're telling me that?! You should be thankful because someone is still checking on you. It's like a habit."
she whispered what dhe said in the last line but the man still heard. His sharp eyes looks like it's ready to fire bullets at her.
"What did you say?"
Celestine averted her eyes. She have to escape now. Looks like he's going livid.
"Nothing."
He turned and walked away but he still couldn't get away when he grabbed her arm and pulled. She sighed as she almost sank into his chest. Her heart reacted wildly.
"Liar. I heard you loud and clear lady. I have a bad temper?"
Her feathers rose when she heard his weak laugh. His laugh is not just like any other normal laugh. His seems like promising something.
"I am really bad and I don't let anyone who insult me ​​getaway from it."
Her legs stiffened as it touched both of her waists. His big hands wrapped around it perfectly and even with her clothes still on. She could feel his heat.
Celestine gathered all her strength then held his hands on her waist to detach but the young man just rejected it. He even pulled her closer and her breast was already touching his chest. Her heart pounded even more.
"W-what? Release me!"
He uses his one arm to wrapped around her waist so he can use his other one to cup her chin. It raised his face causing their eyes to meet.
"I am not really in a good mood. You can lighten it up by f*cking me. What do you think?"
Her cheek warmed at what he had said. He affects her but that isn't enough to make her deaf to what he said. He'd just insult her!
"Fck!"
Before she even knew it. He knelt down the most careful of it. The young man immediately walked away from her.
Her eyes widened as she realize what had been done. The man walked away while holding his accidental knee.
Damn!
"Y-you!" He snapped
"I-it's your fault!" He stuttered a shout
He called her names several times when she ran without looking back. Celestine could still hear heart beating so fast. She wants pity but that should be here.
He insulted her. Yeah. That's just right. Celestine just hope that she would never see him again.
IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK since that happened and she's thankful that she hasn't seen the man yet. She didn't even try to go to his house to say hello to him.
She can tell that it really hurt the poor man. His character was strengthened. She winced as she remembered the man's insistence.
It was his fault! He insulted me! He's not that handsome, eh, I'm going to shoot him!
She just sighed and then resumed eating. She doesn't want to remember it anymore.
A knock made her look up. She is in the living room. Eating while watching. It's her only way to distract herself while she's not yet going to work.
I didn't expect any visitors, did I?
Out of nowhere, that man suddenly entered her mind again. She instantly feel nervous. What if it followed him ?! What will he do?
"Calm down Celestine! Calm down."
She's still not sure though. Later it was different. Though, Celestine was mentally praying. It really isn't. She slowly walked towards the door. Taking a deep breath. She opens the door.
"What's up? Why do you look like that?"
She lost her eyesight when she heard that voice. It seems that she was pulled by a thorn when she saw Ericka and then Ivan was outside. They were looking at her weirdly.
"Ahh." she hesitated to laugh and smile. "N-nothing. I just came out of... the bathroom."
Wew... She thought she had been followed. Maybe she's just overthinking. Maybe that man won't waste time looking for her.
"What are you carrying?" she asked
Ivan who is holding the drinks put it in the center table. Ericka is holding the pizza and plastic fries that are still to be cooked.
"Bottles of cardboard." Ivan's philosophical answer
She would hesitate to beat it because of its answer. He's always like that. Philosopher. Until now she is still not used to it. They were friends for so long now. So they were brave enough to rush to her house.
"Wait. I'll get dressed first. Why didn't you tell me." She said to her friends.
"It's a surprise. If we tell you, it won't be a surprise. I'll cook it first." Ericka promised to go straight to her kitchen
"Take a bath too. You stink." Ivan said, making her frown.
"Why are you always fighting me? I don't really stink!"
She stared at it even though the young man could not see her. She went to the room to change and take a bath. It's embarrassing for her guest.
Before she went to the bathroom. She first checked her phone if someone called but she froze when she read the unread message.
It's her complete address with the devil's initials in the bottom.
Oh no...
To be continued...
"Yes, let's say I fucking love it." he said making me smile. We stayed in that position for a while and I shivered again for the second time. he changed our position so he was on top again. He put his hand on my side and moved freely on top of me. "Ohhh! Fa-Faster please." "I can't hear you, baby?" He was still teasing and slowed down his movement as he entered with full emphasis. I held his seat to make him lean more. "Alright, hurry up." "Next, baby." he said and sped up again. While he wasn't moving as fast as he was, he was relentlessly kissing my lips. I like this. I want to give him everything. he is the man who made me feel strange feelings. I feel that I will be very hurt when he leaves me. So I will do everything to be the only woman for him. We hugged each other and I was amazed by his last strength. I rested deeply and accepted the warm liquid he released from my insides. We kissed again and smiled at each other. He pulled out his length and left on top of me. He stood next to me and hugged me so I leaned on his chest and closed my eyes. "Flirt!" I woke up when someone grabbed my hair so I winced in pain especially when it pulled me down on the bed. "Suzanne!" "You're an animal! You're an animal, Atreo!" I was confused as I wrapped the blanket around my naked body. I looked at the woman who was beautiful, sophisticated, well dressed, and maybe the same age as Kuya. "Suzane, please, don't come here." I looked at both of them because I couldn't understand why the girl was crying. The woman looked at me when I stood up. I was shocked when he slapped me so I held my cheek and looked at it. I can see his tears and anger on his face. "You're flirtatious! You managed to hook up with my husband!" I was almost pierced and couldn't breathe from what he said. Husband? Is Atreo his wife? I looked at Atreo Ripler Alvarez. The guy I thought was single. The man I thought I could have. "Grace, let me explain." I cried and almost wanted to sink to the ground in my situation. I hate myself. I ran outside with only a blanket covering my nakedness. I could hardly see the road because of my flooding tears that blurred my vision. "You're flirtatious! You managed to hook up with my husband!" "You're flirtatious! You managed to hook up with my husband!" "You're flirtatious! You managed to hook up with my husband!" What the woman said kept echoing in my mind. I sat down on a rock and hugged myself as I continued to sob. "You are nothing but a mistress, Grace."
 "ELLESA WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON !!!" I woke up because of that thunderous voice. I got up and looked at the person at my bedroom door. And immediately a blanket covered my body "D-dad?" My answer is shocking. The person next to me moved and I felt stunned by it as well. "YOU'RE A DISGUSTING WOMAN. ANY MAN YOU MAY HAVE BROUGHT HERE! YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER! YOU'RE JUST GIVING THIS FAMILY SHAME!" He added. I want to cry because of dad’s insult to me. I wanted to defend myself but I lost word. I can't talk back to my dad. "Mr. Craig? How did you get here? As far as I know your house isn't here." Dad's Sarcastic Promise. None of us spoke. "A lot of media is out because someone saw you last night in a parking lot at a club. REALLY? OUTSIDE YOU REALLY DID IT? YOU ELLESA! YOU'RE AN EDUCATED WOMAN RIGHT? BUT YOU ACT LIKE A LOWLY SLUT." He is there again for his insult. "I want you two to get married as soon as possible." Authoritative he said. "WHAT? HELL NO! I WILL NEVER DO THAT MR. GIBB!" Nate shouted.  "Whether you agree it or not, you're going to marry my daughter. Or else I'll bring down your company. Don't fight me Mr. Craig." After that dad turned around.
"Let's get a divorce"- His wife looked at him, he stood up and approached his wife. "What do you mean Divorce? Are you really gonna leave me?"- he said while stroking her wife's cheek, Charlotte removed his husband's hand and stepped back "Yes! and I'll do anything just to get rid off of you!"- she shouted, her husband just grinned at her. "If you can"- he said and went back to where he was sitting and drank some wine Charlotte was holding tightly to her pants......
I sighed a few more times before driving my car away. I don't care about him anymore. but I forgave him a long time ago even though I was very hurt by what he did before. Oh God! I hope our paths never cross again.
"You're really rude! Be respectful!" Dad said angrily. I smiled bitterly because of what he said. "Rude? You're the reason I've been rude! If only you hadn't been so selfish, I wouldn't have been that!" I answer back. "We didn't become selfish children, we did it for you — for your future. We want your life to be peaceful when you graduate." Mom said tearfully. "Is that your solution for my future? You must be stupid then. I can work after I graduate. What you said is that you did it for yourself-so that you can be even richer and be known by all over the world and- " “How dare you talk back to your mother!”-Dad. I winced at what Dad had done. Its the second time he slapped me. I was grabbed by my sore cheek and started crying again. But instead of acting, I wiped away my tears and smiled wryly. "There you are again. Does it feel good to slap your daughter over and over again Dad? Is it comforting? Because I felt like slapping me is becoming your habit." I said to him. Dad didn't speak right away because of what I said. Mom kept crying as she hugged Dad's arm. "I'm sorry daughter." Only Dad said. I ignored them and started walking up the stairs. Mom tried to stretch my hand to stop me but I just tapped her and left. "Do you think you can stop this agreement? Sorry daughter but you have no other way. You need to marry him! Because I say so!" Dad chased after me but I just ignored it. You're wrong Dad, there's still a way.
