CELINE’s POV “You have no choice but to leave! Now!” Mrs. Anderson suddenly stood up, and while she was doing so, she motioned to one of the bodyguards to come over to assist her. He quickly obliged, and as he stopped beside her, he handed a black shoulder bag to Sebastian’s mom. She opened her bag and flung a check at my face. “That’s the equivalent of five million dollars! Leave this place and get lost!” When I bent down to pick up the check after it had fallen at my feet, I raised my eyebrows to look at the amount of money that was written on it. “That is incredibly kind of you, Mrs. Anderson… I am very grateful.” “Get out of here!” she shouted, anger laced her face. “Leave! Now!” I raised both hands into the air in a mocking way and turned around to leave, but as I did so… I heard a low sound reverberate through the speakers, and when I turned my head to check who it was, my heart raced when I saw Sebastian holding the microphone. The priest who had been holding it moments earlier was nowhere to be found. “You’re just going to leave like that?” he asked, his eyes piercing through me. “All you want is that money?” I stood there with my arms crossed over my chest and stared at his handsome face. His face was very calm, and his blue eyes were as deep as well, making it difficult to decipher what was going through his mind. “I’ll give you one hundred million dollars, Celine…” he said and my eyes widened in shock, as well as the eyes of everyone else in the crowd. Brylee’s face paled, while Mrs. Anderson snapped her head towards her son, her red nails digging against her palm as she 1/6 clenched her fists, glaring at him. “All I ask is that you give birth to my child…” What?
Is he insane? That photo of an ultrasound was fake! How could I even… Oh, Go d! I scoffed at him and shook my head “I’m sorry, Sebastian…” I said as I took a few steps back, my eyes welling up with tears as I did so. “But… I don’t want my child to be born without legal parental consent…” After I finished speaking, I turned around and started walking toward the exit; however, the next thing he said caused me to stop in my tracks and made me stand still in the same spot. “Marry me, Celine…” he spoke, his tone was authoritative. “Let’s get married so that our child can have legal status… “Sebastian…” Brylee uttered those words, her voice quaking. “You’re going to marry her? Why? And what about me?” “Sebastian!” The echo of Mrs. Anderson’s voice could be heard throughout the air. “What makes you think you’re capable of doing that? Have you completely lost your mind?” After turning my head, I saw that Mr. Anderson had rushed over as well and was shaking Sebastian’s shoulders, Julio Lauren was beside him, sending deadly stares at his son-in-law to be. I couldn’t understand what Mr. Anderson was saying to his son, but it sounded like he was telling him to stop what he was doing. As I made my way back to the front, Brylee began to pull herself to her feet with assistance from Sasha and Mrs. Anderson. “Sebastian, please…” She cried out. “What could I possibly have done to deserve this? Why are you treating me in such a cruel manner? What have I 200 +25 BONUS done for you to hurt me like this?!” This time, she wasn’t putting on an act at all. She was sobbing her eyes out, and on the inside I couldn’t help but laugh. You all deserve this! But what Sebatian just said caused me to engage in some
introspective contemplation. Why did he want to marry me? I thought I knew him very well, but I was wrong. Does he not give a da mn about Anderson’s reputation? I watched as he disregarded his father and Brylee… and my eyes. widened when he started to walk towards me and stopped short of me by only an inch. This caused my heart rate to increase. significantly. “Celine…” he said my name in a soft whisper, and I swallowed… my hands automatically covered my mouth when he suddenly pulled out a ring on his finger and kneeled down in front of me. “Will you marry me?” I was completely at a loss for words. I was just standing there, un to speak as I stared down at him, and he was looking at me wit kind and loving look, and for a brief moment… I had the feeling that was in love with him, but no. I couldn’t… I wouldn’t… When he pulled my hand and slipped the ring on my finger, I jerked back in response, but I was late. The ring had already slid onto my finger. “Sebastian!” Brylee wailed while crying her eyes out very loudly. “You have no right to treat me like this! I don’t deserve this!” The man, however… did not focus his attention on her but instead grabbed my hand as he stood up from kneeling and led me away from the venue where the event was taking place. This was not something that I had in mind at any point. I had no intention of getting married to this man at all. My sole mission in +25 BONUS coming here was to cause disruption at Brylee’s wedding and to generally make things difficult for everyone involved. I was only interested in money. In order to promote my later plans, I needed a start-up fund. And lastly… I was aware of how cruel Julio Lauren was, and I knew that if he found out that I had returned to this city, he would never let me go and would probably end my life. Therefore, I decided to attend this wedding… And regardless of whether or not my reputation will improve, as a direct result of the mayhem that I caused, I will become more famous and will be known by a greater number of people.

difficult time torturing me if we proceed in this manner. Nevertheless, the man next to me, holding my hand while we escaped his wedding, had other plans, and I had no idea what to do at that point. I believe that I will just go with the flow with him… “Don’t go, Sebastian, please…,” I was still able to hear what Brylee was saying before I heard Sasha shout. “Oh my G od, Brylee!” She let out a loud scream, as if she purposely wanted to make Sebastian hear it. “Brylee passed out! Call an ambulance! Hurry!” Sebastian, however, continued to walk away from them despite this fact, his hand firmly gripping mine as if he didn’t want to let go of me at all. “Sebastian!” Now it was the sound of his mother shrieking in terror. You have no right to treat Brylee like this! Don’t lose sight of the fact that she has Claire’s heart!” And that brought Sebastian to a stop. Claire…? Who the hell was Claire? +25 BONUS However, a short while later… Sebastian continued to leave the venue and led me to his car. After we had gotten settled in, he did not immediately start the car’s engine. He did nothing but remained there, apparently thinking… and stared blankly at the steering wheel. “Sebastian…” I uttered the phrase in a low voice. “Who is… Claire?” He heaved a sigh as he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. He murmured the name “Claire…” before he declared, “Her heart was given to Brylee five years ago…” Oh… and who was she? What exactly was her relationship with Sebastian? The fact that he wanted to marry my sister because she had her heart, indicated that she must be an important person in his life. Sebastian suddenly opened his eyes and started the engine when we were abruptly interrupted by the sounds of an ambulance. “Are you sure you don’t want to go and check on Brylee?”
He gave me a puzzled look while shaking his head. “Claire’s he in Brylee’s body… That’s the reason why I wanted to marry her, L Oh… he just confirmed what was running through my mind. But… what? “But it’s you that I like now, Celine…” he said. Oh… I averted my gaze away from him. “How did you even like me? I mean I am a cold and heartless woman. I am not deserving of anyone’s love. I… I’m even considering getting rid of your child!” My hands were fidgeting on my lap as I looked down, but he suddenly grabbed one and brought it to his lips, making me surprised. “I know you’re lying about the baby…” he said, smiling, and my eyes +25 BONUS widened in horror. How did he even know about it? “I know you’re not pregnant, Celine…” +25 BONUS
