welcome to the family

Episode-109 welcome to the family        Celeste’s POV:          I hesitated to open the car door, it’s been more 25 days since Ernest imprisoned me and then I got rescued.. this is first time I am coming to college… today is exam so I have to come.. I tried to concentrate on study, it was hard … I still managed.. at least I will be passing…     I got down the car, Ace was about to get down with me, but I said, “No… please wait here…. it’s campus. I don’t want rumors to spread..” he looked at me and was not convinced, he said, “I have to follow you it’s my duty Miss. Celeste..”     I sigh and said, “Look it’s campus.. they will make disgusting rumors about me if they saw a bodyguard with me….. I will call dad and tell him… anyways I won’t fear anymore now..” Ace looked at me and I said, “please…” he nodded.. he said, “ok.. I will wait here…”     I walked in the class and everyone is speaking about me. I heard them, ‘isn’t she the sexy nerd?’..  ‘look at her’… ‘her hair changed’… ‘she didn’t show up for long’…. ‘anyways, ignore her’… I didn’t have to go through this for long, the exam started and I should only concentrate on the exams…         After the exam ended, I walked to the office. I need to talk to the Principle, I know I am a top student, me not attending college was not normal… I need to make up a reason….    I walked to hallway and took the lift, the elevator stopped and I didn’t paid attention, I was going through my phone. I heard, “Senior… I didn’t hoped you will show up for exam..” Aaron.. it’s Aaron, my eyes went wide…       I looked at Aaron standing in front of me in closed elevator, I was panicking inside. Aaron said, “Senior.. won’t you speak to me…”      I said as I looked away, “I have nothing to do with you all.. just stop bothering me..”     Aaron smirked and said, “are you happy without brother?” I almost screamed, “stop this… I have nothing to do with you or your brothers….”     Aaron said, “you are my sister-in-law… legally… are you sure?” he told his brothers about this….  I am finding it difficult to breathe in fear..      Aaron said, “anyways.. I have nothing to harm you, you are Turner’s daughter now…. and most importantly brother loves you… welcome to the family…” he said this and I failed to understand was it a order, apology or warning…      I saw the lift door open, I said, “your brother doesn’t love me.. it’s obsession…” Aaron smirked and said, “you can think that, do you think Turner can stay alive after stepping in brother’s mansion and taking his women away, Turner is alive because he is your father… Brother Ernest loves you… you are his..” I stayed there without  words and in tears, Aaron walks out of the elevator….      After few minutes, I wiped my tears and went to the wash room, I looked at myself in the mirror.. what is wrong with me?.. I will be strong.. I fixed myself and after few minutes I walked to Principles cabin, I should just focus on myself.. that’s what important..    I saw Professor Stephan, I asked, “is Principle sir here?” Professor nodded and said, “you can go in…” I walked in the cabin, I looked around the room and it’s empty… weird..      I walked further to check if it’s really empty or not… I heard the door opening again, I turned in hope to see the Principle but I saw Ernest.. my legs got weak as I saw him.       He walked to me with heavy steps, I moved back subconsciously.. how is he here?.. why is he here?       He was smoking his cigar, he threw it under his foot and crushed it. He just kept his eyes on me, he didn’t speak or anything.. just stares at me with intense gaze.. I am sweating and uncomfortable… what do I do now?.. run?.. is it possible to run?        I looked at Ernest and some part of me is glad to see him, and I hate this. I looked away, and tried to walk pass him, I just need to go…. he grabbed my hand and pulled me in front of him again.       Every moment he is filling me with anger. I tried to get free as I said, “leave my hand.. leave!!!”
