HIS SWEET REVENGE

Celine’s POV

I have no idea how I got into my room until I slump onto the bed, trying to shut off the emotions seeping through me and closing my thighs together to stop the throbbing. I can’t believe Bryan still has this much effect on me.

I feel stupid and I scold myself mentally for not being able to hide my emotions and discomfort. I still can’t believe Bryan asked me to undress him.

What the hell was that for?

I can’t deny the fact that I am horny and I want to feel the hardness of a man beside my thighs to stop this feeling. Before I can get over my feelings, turning and tossing with closed ears and sweating profusely, I hear the knock on the door. My eyes fly open.

Who is it? Is it Bryan? Isn’t he going to work? Is he here to check up on Jason? I doubt if I can face him.

Instead of answering the door and permitting the person to enter, I grab the pillow and bury my head in it. I don’t want to see him, I won’t be able to recover from this throughout today. I will just pretend to be asleep so he can leave without me seeing him.

The door opens and my heart begins a marathon race. I can hear the beat as I lay tense with my head on the pillow.

“Celine?” I hear Camilla’s voice.

Impulsively, I heave a deep sigh, sag my shoulder in relief and throw the pillow away.

“Camilla”, I call, catching the flash of concern on her face. When she came to tell me that Bryan wanted to see me, I was as surprised as she was that he was still around. We thought he had gone to work already.

Camilla had asked me if I offended Bryan and I said no, even though I knew what I did at dawn was enough offense for someone who doesn’t want me around him unless necessary.

I try to hide my flush face but she is quick to notice it.

“You are as red as a tomato, what happened?”

I look away in embarrassment, short of words to say to Camilla. I feel Bryan is abnormal. How can a man ask a lady to do that without being turned on so badly?

I am wondering why Bryan wasn’t turned on by my touch.

Is it because he is not attracted to me? Do all men get turned on only by the women they are attracted to? If that is the case, then why do some men get easily turned on even when they don’t know the girl?

“Celine, did something happen between you two?” Camilla laughs shortly and my embarrassment increased.

“No!” I say sharply. “Nothing can happen.”

“Really? If you had told me that four years ago, I would have believed it but I won’t believe it now.”

I furrow my brows. “What do you mean by that?”

She sits beside me on the bed. “We all knew your marriage was a contract and I never expected you to come back with his child. I thought your marriage was fake and consummation wasn’t necessary.”

I get it now! I groan in frustration and shame. I never knew Bryan and I will have sex too, it just happened.

“So what happened?”

“Nothing happened, Camilla.” I lie.

“Really?” I hear the tone of disappointment in her voice and I sigh heavily.

I cover my face with my palms and blurt out. “I think Bryan is abnormal.”

“Why do you say that?” I drop my hands.

“He asks me to undress him. He wasn’t even moved by my touch but I was. How can a man be like that? I…” I trail off.

I don’t even know what else to say again. I don’t know how to express myself.

She touches my shoulder. “Bryan has had a distaste for women since Helena died, I guess that is why. Don’t be surprised, there are men like that.”

“Really?” She nods. I am still not satisfied with her reply. How can he….? Gosh, I’m so ashamed of myself for feeling this way.

“Breakfast is ready, I came to call you to eat.” She says.

“I will eat here”, I say and lay lazily on the bed. I had the intention of sleeping before Lizzy is done teaching Jason. I wonder if Bryan hadn’t noticed it yet and why he isn’t saying anything yet about his schooling.

Doesn’t he want his child to be educated?

“I will ask Juliet to bring it down for you”, she rises and I nod.

“Thank you”, I appreciate her. She flash me a smile before walking to the door. I wonder why Camilla isn’t surprised by my observation.

Did she notice something about Bryan too? I feel there are a lot of things about Bryan that she knows and she doesn’t want to share with anyone.

There is more to Bryan’s story and I hope to get them out of Camilla someday.

My phone rings and I grab it nonchalantly before picking it up without checking the caller.

“Baby”, I hear Paxton’s voice and I sit up immediately.

“Hey”, I say.

“I’m outside the mansion, can you come out”, he informs me and I disconnect the call quickly to go and meet him outside.

Where the hell did he go? Why the hell is he just back after a month of being away? Is he fine? Is everything fine?

I rush out in anticipation. I want to see him to be rest assured that he is fine, he doesn’t even sound cheerful like he used to.

The guard opens the gate for me and I hurry out. He is sitting outside the car on the bonnet. When he sees me, his face lights up in happiness.

“Where the hell have you been?” I attack him the instant I am close by and he opens his arms for me to come in.

He smiles and drops his arms when I glare at him, feigning anger with my folded arms. He turns to go to the driver’s seat.

“Let’s talk in the car.”

I want to object to him immediately but I decide against it and trotter to the other side of the car.

I hop in.

“Aren’t you going to welcome me yet?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I glare coldly again and he chuckles.

“Celine.”

“Don’t call me, you idiot”, he begins to laugh again and I almost laughed too. I am not yet ready to let go.

“I’m sorry”, he apologizes and I feign seriousness for a few more seconds before my face breaks into a smile, by just watching his smiling face.

When he opens his arms for another embrace, I watch him for a while and I am about to go into his arms when I catch the eyes of a familiar face.

Behind Paxton is Bryan at the back of his Range Rovers staring daggers at me. He is sitting comfortably in the car with the side windscreen down.

I have forgotten that he is still indoors. I thought he must have gone to work already.

I shouldn’t have come out here when he is still inside, I say inwardly.

Before I can recover from the shock and before Paxton can turn around to find out the reason for my agape mouth, the car’s windscreen goes up and the driver drives off immediately.
