Chapter 2

  • How is she doing? As soon as Leon walked into the room, he asked.
  • "Don't worry, it's just a common illness. Celine had a fever, so I gave her medicine to make it go down. So make sure she gets a full night's sleep," Erza says as she puts her gear back in her bag.
  • Leon said "yes" and sat down on the bed.
  • "Your wife goes through so much, so be kind next time!" Erza says something before she leaves the room.
  • Leon made a fist and looked at Celine, who was sleeping. Her face looked tired and was wet.
  • Leon knew he messed up when he thought back to what had happened earlier. Still, he got mad every time he thought about seeing her outside.
  • "It's all your fault..." Leon whispers to Celine as he lies down next to her. We don't know how long he will stay there. Celine in his arms is the only thing that matters.
  • Then Leon thinks back on the month since he married Celine.
  • ----------
  • (FLASHBACK)
  • "You can do anything except leave the house... Do you understand?" Leon says as he walks into the large living room.
  • Celine didn't answer, but instead looked around the house.
  • She thought her parents' house was big, but when she saw Leon's house, she couldn't say a word.
  • The elegant furniture goes well with the mansion's style.
  • Leon added, "If you don't have any questions, the servant will walk you to your room."
  • "Wait! About your promise ..." Celine murmured. She has a lot of doubt in her heart. She wants to get revenge for her parents, but Celine doesn't know how.
  • She didn't know the people who tortured her, and she didn't understand what they had to do with her family.
  • "You are now my wife, Celine , so anyone who hurts you will face my wrath," Leon said calmly, looking into her eyes.
  • "That's everything I need..." Celine said this while making a fist. Even after she killed herself, she could still remember how her father and mother looked.
  • "As long as you stay in this house, I promise you'll get everything you want," Before going straight to his office, Leon says.
  • Celine's new room was shown to her by a servant.
  • "Is this bedroom the main one?" Celine asked without caring. Leon and she decided that she would have her own room.
  • Even though they are married, Celine wants some space from them because they don't love each other. She still likes being at home.
  • "No, ma'am, the main bedroom is opposite this room," the servant said, pointing to the double door on the other side.
  • Celine couldn't say a word... She couldn't fit in the room.
  • She said this as she walked around the room and put things away: "It looks like I married a billionaire."
  • The front porch has a tea table. The library was also big, and there was a piano in a corner next to a bookshelf.
  • "There," he said, pointing to a door inside the room, "is where your closet is." "Tell me if you need anything else."
  • "Thank you ... Celine cut off the other servant when she said, "But all I want to do is rest."
  • Celine has never liked fancy things, even when she was young, so the beauty of the room wasn't that important to her.
  • The servant left the room in a polite way. Celine went out on the veranda by herself and looked at the world.
  • She didn't notice how big the yard was until now...
  • If she's not wrong, they might be a thousand meters away from the house. The other side is the same.
  • "Should I be scared of the man I'm married to? "Leon Drake , who are you really?" Celine made a deep sign while she spoke.
  • Celine gets up early the next day. Even though she doesn't love her husband, she knows what she has to do.
  • "Ma'am, Master Leon has been out since yesterday," the servant told Celine when she asked.
  • Celine ate by herself while reading the newspaper while the man was out.
  • "Uncle..." Celine muttered as her anger filled her lungs. When she asked for help, her uncle pulled her away and called her names. Even her parents turned into thieves and killed themselves because of it.
  • The phone then rang for Celine...
  • When Celine hears Leon's name, she answers the phone quickly. "Did you really do this?" She asked quickly.
  • "Hmm, yes... Everyone who hurts you will pay, I promise..." Leon laughs at the answer.
  • "That quick? How did you do that?"
  • "Fast? "I haven't done anything yet!" laughs Leon on the other side.
  • "Did I marry an evil spirit?" Celine said something as she held the phone tightly. Celine doesn't know what's going on in the city because she lives far away.
  • "You'll soon find out..." Leon laughs in response.
  • (END OF FLASHBACK) ----------
  • "Ugh..."
  • Leon stopped thinking about the past when he heard Celine growl.
  • "You need to make your body stronger. As soon as Celine opens her eyes, Leon tells her, "You're too weak, so once you're better, someone will train you."
  • Celine was still feeling dizzy, but when she heard Leon's voice in the distance, she forced herself to lean against the headboard of the bed.
  • "Why did you—"
  • "You're to blame! You didn't listen when I told you not to leave the yard. If you don't listen to me again, things like this will happen!" When Leon stood up, he cut off her words. It showed how strong his will was in his eyes. Leon knows he did something wrong, but he won't admit it. Celine needs to know her place.
  • "I hate you. Leon Drake Bridgerton, I will never forgive you!" Celine yelled while tears ran down her cheeks.
  • "Hate me for all I care! But you are mine, Celine White Bridgerton! And you can't escape me!" Leon declared. Celine shivered at what she saw.
  • "I wish I hadn't met you..." Celine said, her eyes filled with hate.
  • "You'd be dead if it weren't for me! I don't care if you hate me. But you can't say that I didn't give you a second chance! So it's easy for me to take it from you!" Leon's answer was a smirk.
  • "Leave! Get out!" Celine yelled in a rage. She picked up the table's bottom and threw it at Leon.
  • Her heart was broken, but her strong husband was a jerk to her. He didn't say he was sorry. Instead, he said mean things.
  • And Leon must have known what she thought because he didn't try to change her mind. He left the room quietly and walked right up to the counter.
  • "Damn it!" Leon poured himself a glass of Scotch and drank himself to death.
