Privacy has been something that Celestine had been deprived of her whole life. Even before she decided to be a model, the media's eyes is already on their family because of her father's success as a businessman. And feeling it all now since she met Vincent had made her realized that she has been living a life that is not real. Before, she think that if she succeed in doing what she really passoniate about, she wouldn't want anything else anymore after that. But she's entirely wrong. She worked so hard to get on the top that she forget to live her life as Celestine Oakmont behind the camera. She doesn't have time to relax because of her busy work schedule, even though she is in the parties her mind was thinking on the appointments she has for tomorrow, and sometimes she even forget her own birthday. Her life revolves around the limelight that she had forgotten to step out of it. She removed the duvet on her stomach and she sit on the side of the bed. A while ago, when they are
"Fuck, fuck, fuck," Arthur repeatedly cursed under his breath. Someone hacked the system and make him lost access to all the CCTV inside of the hotel. He is clenching his jaw as he expertly tried to get to the system again. He should've pay attention to everything that is happening and didn't chill and become confident that no one will ever try to enter the system and try to be in control of everything. "C'mon, c'mon," he said while waiting for the system to open again for him because if what he did doesn't work, he might lose access to the CCTVs inside of the hotel permanently. After the longest two mintes of his life waiting, he finally get to have the access to everything. The first thing he checked was Celestine's room and he found her in the living room watching TV. He creased his forehead. There's something wrong and he can feel it. No one will hack the system if nothing happened. It was quite suspicious. He leaned his back on his game chair and caressed his chin while s
The moment he saw Celestine when she slowly opened the door, he immediately noticed the sadness in her eyes that evidently shown because of her swollen eyes. She looked on her feet to avoid his eyes. As much as possible she wants to avoid the questions he might ask after seeing her swollen eyes that she choose to looked away even though she wanted so bad to stare at him because for her, it feels like a decade since she last saw him. When she was unconcious at the hospital she don't remember what she had dreamed. However, she remembered a particular scene where she was chasing Vincent. She was chasing him and shouting to get his attention but he continued walking without looking back and the last thing she knew, her eyes is already staring at the white ceiling of her hospital room. And until now, that dream still haunting her even with her eyes open. "Hi," he said in a low tone of voice. He is lost for words. He doesn't know where he should start because he is trying to weigh h
Celestine was left dumbfounded at the living room. She did not expect Vincent to leave her just like that given that they are not finished talking yet. She looked at the ceiling and she take a deep breath. Vincent is probably lying at her that when she confronted him, he made a way for them not to talk. She thought to herself. And as she stay at the silent living room a bit longer, she wondered what was the thing that Vincent wants to hide from her. Perhaps, it has something to do to where he actually stay the whole day. But she keep on praying that what she think is wrong. She removed the blanket on her lap and get out of the sofa. She wants a conversation with Vincent and she knew that if she just stay inside of the living room she wouldn't have the chance to have a conversation with him which he clearly trying to avoid. Her footsteps is the only thing that can be heard inside of the suite. And even though she try to surpass its sound by trying to make her every step slower, i
"Don't touch me! Let go! Please let go of me I'm begging you. Please let go," she shouted to two masculine men holding her arms on both sides. The two men were wearing black sunglasses, a blak suit and white tie. They are also wearing earpieces that is connected on the other line where their boss dictate the things they need to do. No matter how much she tries to struggle from their grips, their hands was effortlessly still on her arms, hindering her to move on her own. "I'm begging you please. Let me go... I'll do everything that you guys want. I mean, anything. Just let me go please. I don't want to die please," she begged even though she feels like she's running out of air in her lungs. Her heart was started to raise when she's getting closer and closer to the fire. She can already feel the heat from the fire without being actually getting close to it. And as those men keeps on pushing her near the fire, she can feel the fear in her heart. I don't want to die. No, I don't wa
It was five o'clock in the morning when she felt Vincent moved on the bed. She kept her eyes closed and act as if she was still asleep. He removed the duvet on his body then he get out of the bed carefully, trying not to wake Celestine up in any way without knowing that she's already awake and was only trying to observe what he is about to do. He reached for his phone then he checked it. He creased his forehead when he saw missed calls from his maid. Before he call the maid, he checked some of the messages he received. Mostly, they are just reminders from his secretary and some unimportant messages from other businessmen. Just regular messages he received everyday. Vincent glance at Celestine. She is still asleep. It was a relief for him knowing that she is resting after a long day of worrying about him. He walked to the other side of the bed and he kissed her forehead. Celestine is trying her best not to open her eyes. The moment she felt his lips on her forehead, she was so nea
"Dad," Lander hoarsely greeted as soon as he answered the call. His head is aching and could barely open his eyes but despite that, he choose to answer the call. No matter how sleepy or how important is the meeting that he is in, he never not answer calls coming from his parents. He just thought that every hours he spent away from them is also hours of many possibilities that may happen to them. His parents are old now, he has to accept the fact that in between of those times that he is not with them can result into something that will wreck him forever. And so he think that every call, every text he receive from them is important no matter how nonsense they are texting or calling him for. "Sorry, did I disturb your sleep?" It was the voice of his beautiful mother. "Yeah, kinda. But it's fine. Why did you call using Dad's phone?" he asked while staring blankly at the wrinkled duvet that is covering half of his body. "I just had a bad dream," she said like a child calling his m
Celestine woke up from the warmth of the sunlight shone to her face. She looked around and found herself in the living room. She can't cleary remember how she end up sleeping in the carpet on the living room. All she remembered was crying so hard and feeling extremely tired from it. She blinked twice then she slowly raised her hand to protect her face from the sunlight that is coming from the open curtain of her hotel room. The sunlight were not yet hurting her skin that she decided to enjoy it for a moment. She put her arm down and closed her eyes again and let herself bask in the sun. Her eyelids are heavy and could barely keep her eyes open for a long time. Even though she hadn't seen her face in front of the mirror, she is certain that her eyes are swollen from crying last night. Even though she felt like she had cried everything before, she still can feel the heaviness of her heart as she remember what happened last night. Vincent left her for Sophia, for his ex wife. Sh
