Chapter 156

REAGAN POV

Celeste stood in front of me dressed in nothing but a purple flimsy night dress. Her hair was flowing down in loose curls that flowed down her back. The candle light illuminated on her soft skin with an inviting warmth which moved gracefully along her shoulders down to her collarbone. She was a seductive temptation that manifested in front of in me, possessing all elements of beauty but I have no desire for her, because she wasn’t her and she never will be.

"My lord?" Celeste called and I closed my eyes at the way her tone was sultry.

I swear I was going to be killing someone today, because what part of I want to be alone do they not understand?

"Look, whatever it is you have to say, it better be something good." I said as I walked towards the wardrobe and yanked a shirt out, "You’ve got five seconds to tell me just exactly what it is you want." I said putting on the shirt before turning to look at Celeste.

I could tell I caught her by surprise because she swallowed visibly trying to hide her surprise and also fear. But she was doing a piss poor job of it because I could see right through her.

"I....I just wanted to see if you were doing alright." She asked me and I almost snorted in response because that was just a lie.

"Who put you up to this?" I asked as I went to go and lean against a table.

Celeste’s gaze darted around nervously and I could see the fear in her eyes. "No one, I came because I care."

"Right, because I am supposed to believe that my mother didn’t put you up to this?" I asked already recognizing it as one of my mother’s plays.

She was trying to pull the strings now that Dahlia is gone. She sees it as her opportunity to finally try and control me but the one mistake she made is sending Celeste who I start to detest because she is trying too hard to be Dahlia but she isn’t.

"Marina didn’t send me." Celeste said trying to convince me, "I actually came to check up on you because I now notice that you don’t eat and you don’t sleep at all. I’m worried about you, we all are."

"Well don’t worry about me, I’m alright." I said and Celeste became silent, "Now if that is all you have to say, you can get out." I said eager to just go back to the peace and quiet.

Celeste drew in a deep breath before she stepped forward. "Reagan, I..."

"Don’t!" I silenced her immediately, starting to get really angry. "I have told you countless of times not to speak my name, it isn’t yours to whispers!"

"But I..."

"Get out!" I snarled at her, cutting off whatever it was she wanted to say.

Celeste stared at me, her blue eyes widening with surprise as if she couldn’t believe what I said. I saw her lower bottom lip tremble and if I had any compassion for her whatsoever I would have pitied her but instead I felt nothing. I felt numb even though I was aware for her feelings for me which she had not always tried to hide ever since I rescued her from the tyrant king.

When I saw her, I felt compassion for her because of the bastard king she had been serving at that moment, so I decided to rescue her. She had claimed that at that moment she had no one to turn to, no family that she could think of and she had claimed that she could be of help to me.

I had thought long and hard about it before I decided to bring her back with me just so she could spite the icy princess who lived under my roof. I didn’t know that was going to be my greatest mistake ever because all it has ever done is just brought trouble into my own home.

"Get out Celeste!" I said making sure she could hear how cold my tone was and that I wasn’t going to be telling her twice.

Celeste, thank the gods, was smart enough to hear the threat in my voice because she nodded her head and without another word she turned and left the room, taking all the tension along with her. It was only when she left did I feel like I could breathe again.

Rubbing my dace, I pushed off the table and went to go and stand in my earlier position, in front of the window. There was just something about watching the rain fall down your window that makes being alone with your thoughts so comforting.

If I closed my eyes and allowed myself to focus, I can see her face. I can see the smile on her face when she stares at me, the way she wrinkles her face at me anytime I come inside all sweaty and try to hug her. There was this one time she was in my room. We had agreed to meet up but I got caught up with training with Miguel, so Dahlia busied herself with reading a book.

Then when I came in all sweaty and she had ignored me. Pretended she hadn’t seen me and didn’t answer any of my questions. Instead she had been so focused on her book ignoring my apologies. She had been in a sour mood, so I had to do something stupid. I went to her and shook my head, causing sweats to drip all over her and her book.

That turned out to be my last mistake because she grabbed me and threw me in the floor for ruining her book, I did manage to convince her in another way not to stay mad at me. I took her right there on the floor and the way she had been so open with it and so ready for me, I only had to drive into her once.

Honestly, I got to say I love Dahlia being pregnant because she was always just so ready for me.

Fuck, I miss her! I thought to myself as I continued to stare out the window. I was still lost in my thoughts when all of a sudden the door to my room open again.

I heaved out a sigh ready to tell whoever it was this time around to fuck up and the gods help me if it was Celeste or my mother! But when I turned around, I found neither of the women there, instead I met Nikolai who gave me a solemn look as he spoke

"You are going to want to hear this!"
