PRICELESS CELINE’s POV “What the hell are you doing to me?” I was unable to move since I was stuck under Sebastian’s body, so I attempted to push him away. from me. There was not the slightest sign of warmth in his eyes as he merely stared at me in a chilly manner. “Dam n, Celine!” he groaned. “What exactly do you think of me? Your pet…?” I had to stop and think for a second about what he was talking about, since I was a little bit perplexed. I am completely oblivious to the point he’s trying to make. “Five million, huh?” he continued. “Do you really think that I’m only. worth five million dollars?” Because of that… I finally regained my composure. That was what I mentioned to Brylee a little while ago, and I scowled as I thought about how Sebastian found out all of this information. Was he standing outside the room listening to what my sister and I were talking to each other? Or… Brylee might have recorded the full conversation and then played it for Sebastian to hear? A smile formed on his lips all of a sudden, and there was a deep mocking sneer in his icy expression that would have caused anyone to cringe. “How about him? How much is he worth, huh?” he asked as he pinched my chin, his tone was hostile and aggressive. “Are you willing to sell him off like what you’re doing to me?” Of course, I was aware of the person he was referring to. Sean… “Tell me!” He yelled while increasing the pressure of his hand that was pinning mine owing to the rage he was feeling. “He’s priceless!” I shouted at him in rage and used every ounce of my strength to shove him away from me. “Get off me!” “Does my approach disgust you that much?” But he was even angrier. He grabbed my hands again and pinned them above my head. “You were fine a few days ago, but your attitude has become so
cold these past few days. Is it because your first love came back, huh?!” “Have you done any investigation on him?” Instead of providing answers to all of his queries, I questioned him. How did he know that he had come back if he didn’t investigate about him? “Sean Hayes, a childhood sweetheart of yours…” He muttered as he gave me a sly grin, and that confirmed my suspicions. “I was under the impression that you wouldn’t love anyone. It seems that you had already decided to give your heart to this man from the very beginning, didn’t you?” I forced myself to remain cool despite the impulse to put up a fight. Don’t tell me, my beloved husband… that you’re already in love with me ” And as he looked at me, he appeared dumbfounded. I gave a sarcastic grin, and my eyes lit up with derision and mockery.” Mr. Anderson… I’m very sorry to tell this to you, but I don’t love you! I don’t love you at all! I don’t love you now, and I won’t love you ever again!” As I stared at him without showing any emotion, I could see the agony in his eyes. “Do you really despise me that much?” After what seemed like an eternity, he finally inquired, his tone husky and low. 2/9 I decided not to answer his question. When I saw the pain that was clearly visible in his eyes, I couldn’t help but feel a little confused about how I was feeling towards him. And then, all of a sudden, Sebastian started laughing out loud and let go of both of my hands. He got out of bed and proceeded to the window, where he opened it before he lit up a cigarette. While the breeze blew, he puffed away heavily on his cigarette. The white smoke obscured his handsome face, and the thick black eyebrows on his face were wrinkled. I got out of bed and fixed my clothes before heading towards the door and opening it. I heaved a sigh as I exited the room, and Sebastian continued to stare after me with a miserable expression on his face until I was no longer in his line of sight. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
But not even a minute later… I could hear him following me down the stairs, the sound of his footfall could be heard after me. I made it a point to keep my calm as I waited for him so that I could put my arm around his and look at him with affection. I don’t want anyone in the house to suspect that something’s going on between us. Especially Brylee, who, as far as I knew… was anticipating that Sebastian and I would be upset with each other when she told him about what we had discussed earlier in the day. As was to be expected… the sight of Brylee sitting on the couch while drinking her coffee caused the scenario of my husband and I to penetrate deeply into her vision. Perhaps she had anticipated that we would be torn apart, yet, despite this, our relationship remained very intimate. Brylee, if only you knew… “Hey Celine…” Suddenly, Sasha, who had just emerged from the dining room, spoke out. “Since you haven’t eaten that much earlier, you must be feeling hungry right now. Do you want me to ask Nadia about preparing something for you to eat?” “Don’t bother…” I put on a phony smile. “I’m not hungry…” “Celine…” Another person who had entered from the sliding door at the side of the house and was carrying a cup of coffee called out.” Come here, my daughter…” He sat down next to Brylee on the couch and reached over to touch the spot that was close to him. I rolled my eyes but went along with it anyhow, dragging my husband with me as we sat next to Julio in the living room. “Now that you have married Sebastian, with the title of Mrs. Anderson, you must try your best in everything in the future so as not to bring a poor influence on the Lauren family…” Julio started. “What do you think about if I suggest that Brylee move in with you for a while?” What?
