why are risking this much for me?

   Epiosde-158 why are risking this much for me?    Celeste’s POV:       I felt someone grabbing my hand as I was busy in my thoughts… I saw Steven. I tried to pull away but he said, “Celeste… let me hold it… I won’t do anything…”   I don’t know what to do?... Steven said, “show me around…. Please…” I nodded… after like 20 minutes I was done showing him the house, he is funny and nice… he said, “ will you not show me your room..” my room?...     This is embarrassing.. I opened the door for him and said, “my room… it’s nothing much..” he said as he looked around, “wow… it’s like how princesses live…”    I smiled and said, “I am not Princess…”     He looked at the book shelf and the study table and said, “how do you survive these books….. god! you are really genius…” I chuckled.. yea.. I have lots of books…    He said, “looks like I have to arrange books for you in my place… don’t worry I will arrange an entire room filled with books if you like them..” he means when we get married.. I have to stop him right there…     I said, “I am not a v****n…” it took a lot of courage.. he turned to me as I said this, my eyes were getting teary, I said, “I do not love you… are you still signing up for this?.. I will be honest, I won’t able to love again… this engagement would be senseless and hurtful… I am legally  married to a man..”    He walked to me and touched my cheek, he said, “I am not v****n either… I had 2 girlfriends so far, both of them were for money and cheat on my back… I don’t demand things like v*******y, purity of body is defined when the heart is pure… I just care about you being pure hearted… and no once an dirty you even if they try too”    I moved back and said, “but I don’t love you…” he said as he looked at me, “I don’t care… I know one day you will love me, I promise I won’t force you, l wait till you love me…. When I saw you I want to make you mine, but I won’t force you… and we will find a way to break the marriage with the Prince… it’s not your problem now.. it’s mine… I feel the need to protect you.. you are magical…”     I really have no faith in any men now.. but he sounds promising but somewhat unreasonable too… I asked, “why?.. why are risking this much for me?”      He replied, “I don’t know… but I care for you, I didn’t sleep well since I saw your picture… you did something, and I swear on my life, I have feelings for you.. that why I agreed to marry you…” I am so confused and worried at this point…    I looked away as I was trying to control my own self.. I heard him, “you can take all the time you need, Celeste….” He walked out of the room… I stood there thinking to myself…. what should I do?...     After dinner, Steven went to his hotel room… I am glad that he is not staying here. I walked in my room and went to the bathroom. I washed my face and applied some lotion, but the entire time I was thinking about Steven and Ernest… these two men!...    I walked out of the bathroom and I saw Ernest sitting on the chair, my eyes went wide. I shouldn’t panic, I should be more stronger and controlling.. just like he is..
