Chapter Seventeen IV
"I want to know more about Celestine Oakmont," Vincent said after he suck the smoke from his cigarette and hold it for a few seconds before he blow it out.
The man on his black t-shirt with a craggy face gets a wine glass from the waitress that walked past him, chinking other glasses on the tray. He chuckled then sit properly on the couch, leaning his back comfortably on the backrest of his seat.
"I heard from Leandro that you already ask for that woman's information from Vladimir. What else do you want to know about her huh?"
Vincent put the cigarette between his lips and emerges something out from his coat. Edward drank his wine, emptying the wine glass that made his cheeks blush as he was waiting for Vincent to say something.
He put the empty glass on the table. "What's that?"
Vincent nudged the checkbook to him. Edward smirked.

Celestine hugged herself for warmth as the chillness of the wind etched into her skin down to her bones, making her shiver.She wandered her eyes and saw everything in the shade of yellow and green—sunlight slanted on the trees, lively color of the green grass, and yellow flowers surrounded her feet from where she's standing. Celestine inhaled and closed her eyes. Her hair is swaying in every gust of the wind."Open your eyes, darling." Celestine opened her eyes automatically upon hearing that voice."Daddy..." she said a little louder. He didn't respond. He just stared at her, his lips in a thin line, eyes on her, hands on his back."Where are you now?" she asked, almost like a whisper, still astonished by the fact that she's standing in front of her father."Come," he spread his arms.

When Celestine calms a bit down, she insisted Lander continue driving for she doesn't want to be late, even though it was obvious that they're already late for the shoot.Celestine glanced to Lander whose eyes were intently looking on the road. He had been so enthralled by the morning scenery that he hardly noticed Celestine's gaze on him.She pulled a genuine weak smile. She couldn't befriend someone in two days but in Lander's case, it becomes possible. She's not friendly, she never was. Probably because she's in an industry where almost everyone is exploiters and selfish that it becomes hard for her to befriend and trust someone."In deep thoughts eh?"Celestine shook her head.He spoke again. "What are you thinking huh?"Celestine blinked her heavy eyes and yawned. Her swollen eyes make her sleepy but she's trying her best to not fall asleep. After waking up from a dream that she reckoned w

Celestine walks with eyes fixed on her toes, her pulse thudding noisily as she swallowed. At this hour, the sunlight started to hurt her skin yet she didn't bother shielding herself from it. As she take every step, from her peripheral vision she saw how the people they walked past reacted as they saw her. She can feel the eyes on her. They stare at her way too much that it made her uncomfortable. It was surprisingly uncomfortable for her. In many years of being a model, she learned to be comfortable with the attention she's getting. But everything has changed. The days she spent in the darkroom inside of Vincent's mansion had affected her differently. In those days she had nothing but the darkness and solitude that it becomes difficult for her to get out of it anymore. Lander tapped her hand that was holding his arm. She glances at him. "You should see the place. It's beautiful. Stop looking cute your toes, they won't walk away

"Celestine tell us the truth. Why do we hear that you came here with Lander Buenavista huh? Are you guys dating?" Julius asked as he make lazy curls to her hair."Of course not, Julius. You know me, I'm already done playing games. So, I don't have time for relationships anymore," she answered, avoiding his eyes looking at her through the mirror.It's just the two of them now because Mavi and Tiffany decided to buy food for them so Julius is free to ask things to Celestine."Yeah I know that's why I didn't believe the news that the hot businessman Vincent Mogilevich and you have a romantic relationship. I mean, it's impossible. You're into businessmen because like what you always say, they're too uptight and serious." He combed Celestine's hair and looked intently at it.

The room was scrupulously spotless with the distinct scent of get-well flowers that were presentably arranged in a vase.His eyes went to the door as it clicked open. The nurse in her white usual attire came in with a cup of coffee in her hand."Here's your coffee," she said as she extended her arm to give him the coffee.He gets it from her hand. "Thank you."The aroma of burnt coffee on his hand runs through his nostrils that give him enough comfort from the chillness of the air-conditioned room."Is he responding?" he asked before placing the cup of coffee near his mouth.She immediately nodded. "Yes but he's still under observation given the fact that he has just undergone surgery.""Can I smoke?" he asked right after he put down his coffee on the table."Obviously no." She sat on the sofa near him.He shrugged his shoulder and just grab his coffee again. He carefull

She gazed deeply into the most bewitching dark brown eyes and they are staring back at her—piercingly."Vincent..." she whispered as a warm cloth covered her cold shoulders."Huh? You're saying something?" Tiffany asked.He was looking at her with no intention of averting his gaze. His feet were glued to the sand and his eyes to Celestine. She's waiting for him to do something; to remove his gaze on her or to walk away but none of it happened.They got stuck in each other's eyes like they only met for the first time. She didn't blink for she doesn't want to let go of his eyes. There is something in them, she can't name it but they're deep and velvety."Celestine, you okay? Who are you staring at?"

She was hugging herself with eyes glued to the sea."Vincent used to be a very talkative kid with a dream of being a pilot."Celestine's forehead creased after hearing what he said then she slowly looked at him. He wasn't looking at her nor to the sea, instead he's looking at the sand, digging it a little with the tip of his shoe."I remember us escaping from our mansion and meeting at the secret park just around the neighborhood so we can play. We're just in elementary that time, I can't exactly remember everything but until now, I can still remember the time when his father first laid his hands on Vincent in public."Celestine could hear the sadness in Lander's voice.
