Chapter 18: Chapter 18

After the incident in the living room Celeste excused herself and went straight to Liam's old bedroom in the mansion to get changed. She felt really upset. She tried to think positive and cheer herself up but all in vain. She had been married to Liam for seven months already. It took her only around three months to fall in love with him. But what about him? Couldn’t he just defend her in front of Amy?

She sighed and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She then took out a fresh pair of clothes and headed straight to the washroom to freshen up. After changing she put out a pair of fresh clothes for Liam on the bed and headed downstairs to help her Clarissa in the kitchen. When she got downstairs she found Liam, Rihanna, Amy and Rafael chatting happily among themselves. Liam was the first one to notice her presence there. When their eyes met Celeste passed him a smile and then said,

"I have put out your fresh clothes on the bed." She informed him with a soft smile. Liam nodded and mumbled a thanks before getting up and heading straight to upstairs after excusing himself. Celeste moved her eyes from his back and was about to go to the kitchen when Rihanna called her out.

"Celeste, come and sit with us." She said with a smile. Celeste smiled and shook her head.

"Sorry. I need to go to the kitchen to help mom." Celeste said with a smile. Heading her words Amy rolled her eyes while Rihanna pouted. Celeste gave them a soft smile and turned her back towards them while going to the kitchen.

Clarissa was already making the luck while two other helpers were helping her. Celeste politely smiled at them before entering the kitchen.

"Mom, let me help you." Celeste said as she stood beside Clarissa and started chopping some vegetables . Clarissa smiled at her and moved aside to give her space.

"Thank you dear. So tell me how are you and Liam doing?" Clarissa asked, starting a conversation. Celeste smiled and answered her.

"We are fine mom. And before you ask, yes he takes really good care of me. I'm happy with him." Celeste replied while looking straight to her mother in law's eyes. Hearing her words, Charissa's face bloomed in a wide smile.

"I'm so happy for you. May God always bless you two like this." Clarissa hugged Celeste from the side. Celeste smiled and put the knife aside before hugging Celeste back.

After lunch everyone went to their room to take some rest. Celeste decided to walk around the garden to digest the food. The garden was big and beautiful. There were so many beautiful plants like, different colours of roses, lilies, lavenders, gardenias, marigolds, dianthus, jasmines etc etc. Celeste looked around with a soft smile adoring her face. She was looking beautiful among the flowers. While walking she decided to pick some flowers for her room. She picked out a few roses and lavenders. She smiled looking at the flowers before taking a sniff of their smell.

Heavenly. She thought.

After a while she decided to go back to her room to take some rest. She slowly made her way inside the house and went straight to her room. When she opened the door Liam was already in there, reviewing some documents. He looked up from his documents and scanned the flowers in Celeste's hand.

"Hi. I just went to the garden for a walk and decided to pluck some flowers for our room." She said while closing the door and moving inside the room towards the flower vase.

"That's alright. They are beautiful, just like you." Liam nodded while saying the last part after a bit of pause, making Celeste blush. She looked away from him while mumbling a soft thank you. She didn’t even notice when Liam got up from his seat and hugged her from behind. She was busy blushing and putting the flowers on the vase that she didn’t even hear his footsteps. When he all of sudden embraced her from the behind she let out a surprised yelp.

"Liam!" She called out softly.

"Hmm?" Liam whispered, sniffing her neck. She smelled like fresh lavender and rose. For a moment he thought he might get addicted to her scent forever. He placed soft feathering kisses all over her neck making Celeste fill giddy and sparky all over her body. Her stomach did a flip flop at their close proximity. She closed her eyes while putting her arms over his. Liam slowly turned her around and leaned forward before capturing her lips with his. She immediately responded. At first,He kissed her slowly and passionately but then suddenly it turned into more wild and passionate as he hands started to grope her body and touch her here and there. Celeste let out a moan when his hands touched her left breast and he started rubbing it. She put her arms around his neck while moving her lips with his. After a while they pulled out when they ran out of their breathes. They looked at each other while breathing heavily. All of sudden Liam leaned forward and kissed Celeste on her forehead making her close her eyes. His lips stayed there for a while making her feel the soft burning touch. Celeste didn’t know why but that moment she felt really loved and cared that her eyes teared up. She opened her eyes and threw herself in his arms. She hugged him tightly while burying her face on her neck. She didn’t want that moment to end. She wanted to say she loved him. She loved him so much that she started to fear that she might lose him. For a moment she wanted to be selfish and always be with him. For a moment she regretted signing that damn one year contract. What if she didn’t sign that contract and could stay with him forever?

Liam, who was standing there, hugged her back and rubbed her back. He didn’t know he felt really peaceful while hugging her like that. He didn’t want to end this moment and always have her in his arms like this but he knew it wasn’t possible. But he didn’t care for the time being. She was now his and that's what mattered. Liam came out of his sudden thought when Celeste suddenly moved away from his embrace and looked at him for a brief moment before holdning the hem of his tee shirt and pulling it off his head. Understanding her gesture he smiled and gladly co-operated with her. Removing his tee shirt Celeste threw her arms around his neck and put her lips on his. Liam held her in his arms and kissed her back as his hands moved in her back and opened the zip of her dress before pulling it down. They kept kissing each other passionately while moving towards the bed. When Celeste's legs clashed with the bed Liam picked her up and put her on the bed gently. He then unhooked her bra and threw it away before capturing her one breast with his one hand and putting the other one in his mouth, making Celeste moan in pleasure.
