Chapter 43
CELINE’S POV
“When did you get bitten by a snake?” I shrieked, feeling so panic. My voice
was obviously a little frantic and worried.
How did this happen? When did this happen?

“I’m fine!” Sebastian snapped, pulling his hand back from my grasp, and his
voice was unusually calm.
I frowned, thinking if I had missed any details, and that’s when I recalled how
he pulled me tight in a hug earlier, when the snake was ready to attack me.
“Did you block the snake for me?” I looked at him in shock. That was the only
thing I could think of why he had bitten by a snake. Why did he even do that?
Why did he save me?
“Don’t think too much, Celine…” he sneered. “Why would I even make myself

hurt just because of you…?”
“Whatever!” I grabbed his hand again, examining the marks that ruined his
beautiful calloused hand, and grazed it with my thumb. I couldn’t help but
feel worried about him. What if it’s poisonous and the venom was already
scattered all over his body?

Oh my God! I have to act fast now or he’s going to die. And it’s all because of
- me. I wasted no time and bent down, thinking that by doing this I’ll save him_
but before my lips could even touch his skin, Sebastian grabbed my chin and
lifted it up to stop me.
“What the hell are you doing?” he asked, his expression was full of shock. “Are
you crazy? Don’t even try to do that!”
I rolled my eyes and swatted his hand away before I lowered my head and
finally sucked the poison from his hand. I did it repeatedly, and I could feel
him flinch every time I sucked on it. I dared to look up to see his reaction while
I was busy with his hand and he was red all over, his Adam’s apple was
bobbing up and down during the process. When I thought that I had sucked
all the poison from the wound, I stopped and spat out the blood from my
mouth.

“Do you think I’ll be grateful by you doing it this way?” I heard him say but I
ignored him. I wiped the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand,
placed his wounded hand on my lap and tore a small cloth from the hem of
my dress. “Hey! What are you doing?”
“Stay still! Don’t move!” I ordered and smiled secretly when he obliged
without hesitation. I wrapped the fabric around his hand and secured it with
tie at the end as a precaution.
“Have you not read any books or have you watched too many tv shows?
Sucking the poison with your mouth is very dangerous! It’s the most useless
and stupid way, you idiot!”
“At least I’ve saved you…” I smirked and I could feel him watch me as I stood
up and sat in front of the fire. I rubbed my hands, trying to heat up before I
drew my hair aside, rubbing my aching nape.
SEBASTIAN’s POV
For the past twenty–seven years of my life, I’ve never felt out of control. But
this time, because of this woman, I merely lost all my control, my moral was
broken into the bottom line. I never thought that I had slept with my fiancee’s
sister, not only once, not only twice, but thrice. Damn it!
And I was so stupid to save her from that snake and got me bitten What is
this woman doing to me? I shouldn’t feel like this to her. She’s Brylee’s sister,
for fuck’s sake!
My eyes followed her as she stood up from sucking my hand. Yeah… the
sucking process. I could feel the heat travel all over my body when she was
doing it. Then she looked up at me, and our gazes locked, I don’t know why t
find her cute while having that smile in her eyes.
Did I just say that she’s cute?
hapter 43 What it
No fucking way!

But it’s true though… Her eyelashes are so thick and long–they cast a
shadow over her cheeks as my gaze stayed on her face. Her lips were full
and small, and so naturally red. She didn’t have to put any thing on her face,
like make–up or anything. Unlike Leina…
Shit!
Then I remembered last night. The way Celine surrendered to me. The
moment she gave her all. F***! She shouldn’t have provoked me like that!
I watched her sit in front of the fire and drew her hair to the side, rubbing her
hands as she wet her lips. Goddammit! It doesn’t have to be slow motion.
This girl annoys me, but I don’t know why I love watching her.
And then my eyes darted on the birthmark on her neck. In the press
conference about a month ago, she admitted that she’s the girl in the video
who slept with that young model. Well, I’ve watched the video and…

Shit! This couldn’t be happening.

The girl in the video was topless, and I had clearly seen her nape. It was
clean. There’s no stain, no birthmark at all. It was flawless! I was stunned as !
stared at Celine.
What if she’s not really that girl in that video?
What if it was Brylee…?
After an hour… the rain finally started to let up, and I watched as Celine, who
had been sitting in front of the fire, got up and stretched out her limbs, her
slightly wet dress sticking at her chest making me swallow and look away.
“Let’s go and check outside!” she chirped as she shifted her gaze to look at
me in the eye. “They are supposed to be coming over here any minute now
to fetch you up…”

“Me?” frowned. “What about you?”
“They’re more concerned about you, Sebastian. That’s a fact!”

I let out a deep sigh, remained seated there as I watched her make her way
out of the cave. I shook my head and got up, following her out pretty quickly
after a while.
Oceania City was in every sense a part of the ocean. The rain fell almost as
fast as it had come down. The initially dark sky gradually became brighter,
and before long… clear blue skies were visible in the sky above.
I didn’t pay any attention to what was going on around me; rather, I
concentrated my attention on the girl in front of me whose arms were
spread wide as she walked joyfully toward the beach with the wind blowing
her hair and making it sway as she went.
And it was at that very moment that I became aware that I had just
witnessed Celine Lauren smile for the very first time. A genuine smile.
Chapter 43 What If
“It’s so beautiful…” She uttered those words as her attention was drawn
upward to the sky above.

The rain helped to wash away all of the gloomy clouds in the sky. Clouds that
were white and puffy were now hovered low over the horizon.
It was so lovely that it could have been a painting. But it’s not quite as lovely
as this girl with me…
It took me by surprise because she appeared to be refreshing. She looked
cute when she glared at me, but when she smiled, it’s just completely
different. She smiled in the same way that Brylee does, but Celine’s smile
never fails to put me at ease. It made me calm and relaxed.
Refreshing.
I think I’ve found the right word to describe the way she smiles.
Since I have absolutely no interest in taking a look at my surroundings
anymore, I decided to make small talks.
Chapter 44 Whal!!
“Is this the first time you’ve ever seen the ocson?” Lasked, watching her play
her feet with the water, she looked like a three–year old kid who tosted o
cotton candy for the very first time. And I don’t know why I enjoyed watching
her,
Right. Small talk like getting to know better about your new friend, asking
about her.
But wait! Celine Lauren doesn’t even consider me as her friend. Then, as a
mistress it is. She said she wants to be my mistress for a week I couldn’t help
but smile at the thought of what would I let her do as my lover.
Celine didn’t respond right away, and I noticed how the way she arched her
brows that made her appear cheerful and sparkling, yet in reality. there was
a hint of melancholy in the depths of her eyes.
Now, as I watched her smile again, I wondered if this was the same Celline
that I saw every time she’s with Brylee and her friends. Because right here,
right now, she seemed free, unbothered, and happy.

“it’s impossible for me not to see the ocean!” she exclaimed. “My mother and
tused to live on an island.” As her voice grow softer, she continued to store
at the ocean, her eyes gradually becoming watery. “I miss living to that
place. I miss my mom…” her voice cracked, indicating that she’d been
brought back to the days when her mother had still been alive,
“It she was terribly ill and you needed money for her treatment, why didn’t
you ask your father for the money when he knew you needed it?” The
question I blurted out made her freeze for a moment.
After a brief pause, she eventually shrugged her shoulders and opened her
mouth to answer me.
“Why are you asking me this?” she asked, instead of responding to the
questions I had posed. “Why are you interested in me all of a sudden?”
! refrained from speaking.
Even I don’t know how to respond to that.

“Ten thousand dollars is hardly any money to him…” she continued in a small
voice, closing her eyes. “But when it comes to me and my mom…. it’s a lot of
money for him. It’s just too hard for him to let go that kind of amount…
But then she snapped her eyes open and looked at me, and I caught sight of
sadness crossing her expression in a blink as if she just realized blurting those
words. As if she can’t believe that she just told me about something private
regarding her personal life.
I, on the other hand didn’t mind her rambling in front of me. It’s so much
more appreciated than the silent treatment she used to give me. Or when
she snapped and sent murderous gaze at me, as if I was her mortal enemy.
“You are his daughter.” I sighed. “I don’t believe he has a valid excuse for not
a**isting you in saving your mother.” In particular, with regard to finances.
He’s one of the richest businessmen in New York. But what she had told me
did not in the least bit come as a surprise to me. Julio Lauren was one of the
greedy businessmen in the world.

smile. “What if I told you that they refused to provide any kind of a**istance in
any way? What if I were to tell you right now that both dad and Brylee find me
a black sheep in the family? They don’t like me… My mother and I… And if I
wanted money from them, I had to give them or do something in exchange
for it…”
I gazed at her in bewilderment. “Did your father actually do that?” I asked.
“Why?”
