Chapter 206

I turned to my mother, my voice softening. “Mom, I am very sorry. I genuinely planned for this moment to be pleasant, but there is a stranger here and don’t feel comfortable saying what I want to say.

But Mom, you have to trust me, okay? Twill not do anything against my conscience, and I have not done anything wrong. The ones who have offended me are the ones who should be worrying. I only refuse to sit down and take whatever they throw at me.

Since they want to play a game with my life, I will show them that I can play it even better. Mom, I know you are hurt that I have severed ties with this fool. But he had it coming. For a long time I have overlooked a lot of things, especially his stupid obsession with Seraphine. And now, after finding out what he did to Sierra, knowing she is pregnant with his child, I feel sick to my stomach. I cannot acknowledge that I am related to him. I will call you and find time for us to talk properly.”

“But Celeste, this Dominic…”

“Do not worry, Mom. I will tell you more about him at the proper time. And do not worry, I will bring him to see you eventually.”

My mother looked troubled, her eyes flickering between me and Felix, but I pulled her into my arms and whispered into her ear. “Dominic already confessed to me, Mom. He said he is in love with me and I feel the same way about him. You should be happy

for us.”

When I pulled away, my mother let out a long sigh. “So you are telling me that you are happy?”
