-CELESTINE-

I AGAIN signed a contract for an advertisement campaign and I have no choice but to be with Mister Gatchalian, the running mayor of the city. He's not clingy when I am with the other staff, but if we'll have time alone with each other, I can see how his eyes are full of I. ust and desire.

Just the way he looked at me, I knew he also had bad intentions towards me. He's around forty but looks young. He is very careful with his body and also looks like any woman who stares at him will like him back.

I often notice his simple brushes on the side of my melon just to take advantage of me. I just ignored it because I didn't want to lose my job right away, just because I noticed something was wrong. I chose not to be with Karina in the meantime. She's with her mom and she introduces me to her mother as a friend only.

I don't know why everyone seems to be boomerang on me because I did that to Bellevera and now Karina did it to me. Bellevera introduced me as her cling woman to her exes and it stings my nose. I know we shouldn't let others know that Karina and I are dating because we're both ladies. But the feeling was undefined and I can't explain how bad it was. Maybe because I am falling with Karina.

Those past days I was with her. I didn't feel like I had a problem. She's my scapegoat from the real world. When I am with her, I feel like I am in a paradise and I want not to be separated from her. I had the feeling of comfort with her. Like Bellevera's word, I want Karina to be mine too.

"Thank you for trusting us, Mister Gatchalian. But Miss Celestine and I need to leave." I heard Miss Roa beating goodbye to the man.

I quickly averted my eyes when Mister Gatchalian glanced at me and then smiled at Miss Roa. "Sure. I will prepare wonderful projects for both of you, especially with Miss Celestine. If you hadn't just told me that she was going to get married, I might have fallen in love with her right away." Ewww! I don't need another Brent in my life. I'm full and they are more than enough.

My face turned sour when I heard that. I almost had to get in the van quickly and back to the rest house. I was with Miss Roa, the designer, makeup artist, and two other male staff.

Arriving at the rest house in Tagaytay, I immediately went to the car. I have already told Miss Roa that I will no longer go with them. She also knew that I was now owning a house and not staying with my mom or Bellevera's unit anymore. I'll be living in hell if I will be in Bellevera's place.

Maybe now Bellevera's ear is heating with anger again. How many times have we postponed our wedding? December has become January, and it looks like it will become February or better not anymore. I also completely avoided him at all costs and I ask Miss Roa to make an excuse. I know Bellevera just wants to torture me. He thought he was holding me by the neck because I couldn't complain to him. And I know I'm the only one he'll never get.

It was already night when I arrived at my house that I am renting now. I can already feel my stomach growl. Karina immediately entered my mind. I want to eat food made by her hand.

I smiled when Karina answered the phone immediately. "How are you, sweety? Are you okay? Did you miss me?"

"Of course. I thought you would never call me again. Maybe you found someone else," she said to me and a hint of sadness in her voice.

"No! Of course not," I hissed. "I am not that kind of person or a two-timer. I'm all yours. I bought your favorite coconut pie and ordered a pizza. We'll have a pizza day later." "Thin crust ha."

"Sure. I'll be there in an hour."

Not too much traffic unless I get to the main road. But only for a moment. I ordered online, took the opportunity, and was ready to pick it up while I'm on my way to the resthouse.

Arriving at the subdivision where the rest house is I hurried to enter. I caught Karina wading in the water. I am so excited to see her. It felt months since I didn't see her because of my job.

"It's afternoon, take a shower. You might get sick," I told her and went straight into the house with the things I bought.

It was past three in the afternoon when I arrived and I skipped lunch. I thought I would arrive early because our meal was for snacks.

I ENJOY the food with Karina. I shared with her my thoughts, my problem and we had our dreams together. I thought there was no end to everything. That's where I went wrong. As long as there is a Bellevera that exists, my life will become a living hell.

If I only knew that Karina was going to open the gate for someone else, I would have been the one to open the gate. I didn't think he would quickly trace where I was. He has all the resources to find me. And no matter what I do to hide or escape from his hand, he will still be able to follow me. Even if I go to hell, he can chase me and drag me down.

"Long time no see, my dear girlfriend and soon to be my wife," Bellevera smiled at me as she stepped into the living room and saw me standing in shock.

The beer-in-can slid into my hand upon seeing him and the liquid spilled on the floor.

"Is there no kiss from you?"

I was not immediately relieved from the shock, even though I should have been accustomed to being overtaken or he would find me wherever I would go. I should have expected him, but not at a time like this. It widened my eyes as I saw him, and my jaw almost dropped on the floor as Bellevera greeted me with his dirty smirk.

I just flinched when he approached me and said nothing, he stole a kiss from me. When our lips parted, my expression went to Karina. Her eyes widened and gaped after seeing Bellevera kiss me.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"I think you were surprised by what I did to my fiancée," Bellevera said, focusing on Karina and now with his arm around my waist. "Didn't she tell you that I'm her legal boyfriend?"

I was even more annoyed and forced to let go when Bellevera's hand, which was already gripping across my melon with nothing underneath, twisted it hard.

"Let me go!" I said, and pain painted on my face.

"Why? Are you ashamed that she knows what we are? Where did you find this woman? Don't tell me she's a lesbian?" He even glanced at Karina from head to toe, who was wearing a one-piece bikini, and couldn't believe what she saw. "Karina, please, listen to me. You know, I don't like him-ouch! Fvck you, Bellevera!" I couldn't help but sneer when he rubbed my other melons like paper. I got hurt by what he did and I knew my cheek was red, not only in pain but in embarrassment.

Karina knew my situation because I had already told her everything. She also knew that I used her to run away from Bellevera, but the more I ran away, the more Bellevera would be like glue if he could catch me. He tried his best to stick on me. "Doesn't he know I own you?" He even brought his bullsht mouth to my earlobe and crawled on my neck until, like a vampire, sucked there to leave a mark.

I immediately pushed him when I had the chance, and I immediately approached Karina. "You don't have to tell her some lies. Karina is my girlfriend and she will stay with me no matter what." My arm immediately clung to her waist when I reached her.

Bellevera smirks as if he can beat me from what I have told him. "You are crazy, babe. Do you think Ms. Roa and the management will accept this crazy thing of yours? Just think about it. And look at this girl. I'm not sure she will like you that much. Remember, she is a woman, and what a woman wants will still stay the same." I know he just wants to ruin Karina in front of me.

"Why don't you just say what you need and get off my face?" I wanted to kick him out. He is a pain in my head and consumes me a lot. I then regretted why I let Karina open the door. I'm so stupid! I shouldn't let that happen. "Do you think this woman will stay with you? Doesn't he just need money from you?"

Karina looked at Bellevera intently. "You are wrong. I like Celes and not just because of the money."

"We will see, Miss... I don't care about your name." Very sympathetic and feeling he's cool, I really wanted to kick him or hit him at the table right now. "Have you made it more than we have?"

Karina's forehead grimaced, which I think she didn't understand, or she's pretending that she didn't understand what Bellevera was saying now. I knew very well what he wanted to initiate. I trust Karina more than anyone, and even if Bellevera tempts her, she will never leave me. She will stay by my side as she promised me and he can not ruin her personality in front of me.
