Chapter 65
65. INVESTIGATING CELINE’s POV It was Sasha… but not with my father. She was with another man! “Oh, Richard…” I could hear her moaning. “Don’t! Stop it! What would you do if someone came over here?” Her tone of voice was ragged, but it also had a dissatisfied quality to it. “Don’t worry about it, my love. Everyone is too busy sucking up and blowing smoke out of those big as ses in the hall…” The man’s voice was raspy and agitated at the same time. “Who in their right. would come here when the weather is like this, huh? “Oh my goodness, Sasha… I have deeply and profoundly missed you… This is it… I can’t take it any longer…” Sasha gave the man a seductive smile before wrapping her arms around his neck and letting out a loud gasp when he cupped her behind with his hands. “If you have some free time, we could meet outside. This is… It’s the Anderson family’s party, and… oh…!” The man did not allow her any space to catch her breath, which caused her words to come out in spurts. “I want to do it here in the Anderson garden…” the man chuckled. The excitement level here is much higher than it is outside…” “You’re right…” Sasha giggled when the man started to kiss her neck. To say that I was shocked would be an understatement of how I feel right now. So… Sasha has a lover on the side. Hmm… My shocked expression quickly transformed into a grin of triumph as I realized what had just happened. It appeared as though heaven was helping me to bring them down as quickly and easily as possible 1/5
without exerting an excessive amount of effort. “Julio… Julio…” I spoke in a whisper. “Not even in your wildest dreams would you be able to figure out
who is cheating on you!” Just when I let out a sly smile, the rock I was leaning on accidentally loosened, and with a resounding crash, it fell to the ground. The joyful times that they were spending together were abruptly brought to an end in an instant. “Who’s that?” Sasha asked, and the sound of someone pulling their pants up from the inside was followed by the sound of footsteps. Because I was so anxious… I couldn’t escape even if I wanted to. Nevertheless, just as I was about to give up, a large hand grabbed my arm and pulled me into his arms. I instantly found myself safe in his embrace. I was turned around forcibly, as the man pulled me further to hide. behind the rockery. I looked up at him in a daze, and when I recognized him, my eyes widened to their fullest possible extent. “S sebastian? What are you doing here?” Before he responded to my question, he extended his hand and shook the bamboo tree that was next to us. In an instant, the eagle that had been perched on the tall bamboo rushed over to us at a high rate of speed. Then it landed on his hand, but his wrist was scratched by the eagle’s claws because he was not wearing gloves at the time. Almost immediately, there were streaks of blood visible. He didn’t give it much thought before tossing the eagle in the direction of the front of the rockery. The large bird flapped its wings as it landed on top of the rockery, and then it slowly flew back in the direction of the bamboo tree. “Thank G od, it’s just an eagle…” Sasha let out a sigh of relief. “Let’s go back inside, please, Richard…. I don’t want anyone to find out about us…” The two figures vanished almost immediately after that second had passed. I tore my eyes away from them and looked down at Sebastian’s wrist, where blood was pooling from an injury he had
sustained. “What brings you to this place?” I decided to ask him. “Why did you help me?” He flashed a grin before coc king his head to the side and casting shadows across his features. “I wasn’t expecting you to have a habit of listening in on other people’s adventures outside…” At first, I was stunned, and then I noticed that my face was turning bright red. “What are you talking about?” I scoffed. “I wasn’t eavesdropping! I was just strolling in the garden!” I was actually investigating. When didn’t get an answer from him, I continued. “How about you? Wh business do you have popping up here instead of keeping my sister company?” I became annoyed when I realized that his other arm was encircling my shoulder, so, I angrily shook my shoulder and pushed him away from me. Following that, I tucked some stray strands of hair behind my ear that had been blown loose by the wind. Sebastian took a keen interest in the varied expressions that were on my face, and a glimmer of a smile appeared in his eyes as he whispered… “Talk about having the gift of gab when it comes to making arguments that are non sequitur. It was obvious that she was peeking at the trysting couple, but she was able to defend herself, and in the process, she was able to deflect the suspicion towards me, and 3/5 now, I’m the one who is suspicious, while she is exonerated…” I inclined my head and looked at him with brows raised. “Are you saying something?” Then my attention was drawn back to the hand that had been hurt. Here we go again…. The scene on the island where he was bitten by a snake came flooding in… and I couldn’t help but heave a heavy sigh. “Thank you for helping me…” I sighed once again as I stepped back and then pretended that I was dusting off my dress before looking up at Sebastian.

“To repay you, I promise that I won’t tell my sister that you came out to wander, or… whatever covert business you have here. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me…” I had the impression that Sebastian was just going to nod his head and then leave, so, I was taken aback when he took a step forward wrapped his arm around my waist, and pulled me closer to him. When he cupped his free hand around my chin and compelled me to look at him, I let out a gasp. “Celine…” he mumbled in a low voice. “I had no idea that you were so skilled at distorting the truth, hmmm…?” I smiled and looked squarely into his blue eyes, making no attempt to deflect or avoid his forthrightness in any way. On the contrary, I knew that there was a kind of cu nningness that he’d see in my eyes. I averted my gaze for an instant, then slowly stretched out my hand and reached for the expensive suit he was wearing. After that, I slowly. moved my fingertips up his shirt and started buttoning up the three buttons that had been left undone. I felt him freeze up, his eyes followed my hand that was expertly working. “Both you and I…” I smirked as I paused. “There’s no distinction between us… Why do you feel the need to hide who you are?” I bit my lip as I looked up at him.
