Chapter 31
CELINE’S POV
We’ve arrived at the airport at four o’clock in the afternoon and I never
thought that Jake was that caring as he always checked on me from time to
time and I have to force a smile at him, for him to know that I was fine. But the
truth was that… I was really feeling nervous. I have to hide my shaking hands
behind me for not anyone to notice especially the couple in front of us, as we
walked our way towards the departure area.
“Celine… are you sure you want to go with us? Maybe you want to inform dad
first about this?” Brylee suddenly turned her head to look at me, then walked
slowly so that she could walk beside me. “If you want to change your mind, I
can call a cab for you to go home.”
Of course… Brylee would think of something she could do to get rid of me and
I couldn’t help but closed my fists, hating the fact that she couldn’t wat to
drive me away. A sly grin plastered on my lips as I turned my head to look at
her. “I think if Dad finds out that I’ll be on the same trip with Jake, he will
definitely not object…“.
And twas startled when Jake suddenly laughed beside me, and as
expected… Brylee could only grit her teeth in anger as she sent murderous
gazes in my direction.
“Jake..” I heard the almighty Sebastian groaned beside Brylee, “I think you’re
not young anymore to not distinguish what’s the difference between a
demon and a human!” I could feel his burning gazes at me but I only
responded at him with a sweet smile, hoping to annoy him even more.
I will never be affected at their nasty words throwing at me. You wish!
I tore my gaze away from him and looked around the airport, still feeling
amaze at how big and beautiful the place is. I never had the chance to
oppreciate this place earlier when I picked up Jake because I was too busy
looking for him.
Helt Jake shrug his shoulders at Sebastian’s statement.

Sebastian glared at me before he pulled Brylee away from us, leading the
way to the departure area.
“Are you okay?” Jake asked, his hand squeezing mine.
“Yeah..” I nodded. “I’ve never been in a plane before, so, I’m really feeling
nervous…”
My eyes suddenly darted outside the glass window and they went wide, my
mouth gaped open as I ran towards it, my finger pointing at the big airplane
outside. “Hey it’s an airplane! Oh my God, it’s so big!”
Jake followed behind and I heard him chuckle. “You’re the daughter of Julio
Lauren, one of the richest businessmen in the country. Haven’t you been on a
plane before?”
His question made me freeze momentarily. He knew me, that meant he saw my name and face on social medias. I put a smile on my face as I turned to face him. “Aren’t you afraid of me, Jake?” I didn’t expect the words that came
out of my mouth.

“Why should! be afraid of you?” he chuckled as he ruffled my hair. “Are you a
demon who eat people?” He asked and I shook my head. “Then there’s
nothing to be afraid of… You appear to be more of an angel than a devil…”
I laughed. “Didn’t you hear what they said about me? Didn’t you see my
pictures and videos on the internet?” I asked again, my eyes locked with his,
trying to read what’s in his mind but I couldn’t see anything. All I saw was
genuine concern for me. “I don’t have a good reputation. In their eyes, I’m not
a very good girl…”
I heard him sigh and took my shaking hands. “I don’t believe them. I only
believe in myself and myself says that you’re not that kind of girl. That’s what
my eyes see on you. The real you. So… why would I have to listen to others?”
My breath caught in my throat as I stared at him. The corner of my lips slowly
curved up in a genuine smile, showing my dimples. “Thank you, Jake…”
And Jake was stunned for a moment as he looked at me smiling. I have no
idea what was going through his mind as he stared at me but he looked so
mesmerized by the way his eyes lit up. That prompted me to blush profusely This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Four and a half hours later, and we were already landing at the airport of
Navy District of Oceania City, which made me sigh in relief. Only when I got in
the car that I was slowly coming back to life.
“How are you holding up, Celine?” Brylee asked sarcastically as she sat
beside me at the back of the car. Sebastian climbed inside followed by Jake
behind and they both sat at the front row of the seat, just behind the driver,
and in front of us. “I told you to rest at home. Why don’t you want to listen to
me?”
I rolled my eyes at Brylee before I closed them and leaned back in my seat.
I’m not interested in talking to her right now. I hate it that she’s acting like she
pared for me, showing everyone that she’s wonded about my condition.
“If you’re feeling uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to tell me so that I can take
Bere of you okay?” she continued and I noticed that her voice suddenly
became sweet, her hands even holding mine, so I frowned and opened my
eyes to check if I wasn’t dreaming at all and that’s when I saw Sebastian’s
eyes were on us, particularly at me.
I sat up straighter and my lips curled slightly. “You can slap me all you want,
but why do you have to scratch my hands with your nails?”
Brylee’s eyes widened as she turned her head to look at Sebastian and she
was lucky that he diverted his attention away from us. I pulled my hand away
from her hold and smirked at her.
“Have a rest first, Celine… I’ve already arranged for a banquet to be prepared
for tonight… Jake turned his head to check up on me, and I smiled at him to

see? I’m afraid that she won’t be able to eat anything tonight. Can you just
let her rest in her room?” my sister said, and I scoffed, loud enough for
Sebastian to hear, so I wasn’t surprised when he looked back at me with
burning glares.
I am positive that Brylee didn’t want me to steal her spotlight tonight but I
won’t let her win. “Thank you for your concern, my dear sister…” I said as I
pressed my hand on my stomach hardly. “But I’m…” before I could finish what
I was going to say, a bile rose up in my throat and I leaned at Brylee to throw
up all over her lap.
“What the f….!” She can’t curse. She’s not allowed to curse, because in the
eyes of everyone, she was the good girl, and I was the bad one.
A shrill scream coming from her erupted from the inside of the luxury car and
I smiled, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand before I leaned back to
my seat and closed my eyes once again, pretending that I was very sick.
