“you lied to me”

  Episode-229 “you lied to me”   Celeste’s POV:    1 week later,    I was hugging myself in bed, I miss him… and I hate that I can’t see him anymore….. I whispered, “Ernest…. I miss you..”   I haven’t left the room in 1 week, I have no will to get out.. I saw him in my dreams thrice in this week…..  I didn’t know I will miss him this bad… if I knew… then… I wound have taken the bullet myself…. I would have killed Steven when gun was in my hand….    For 2 months I thought he was missing but, that day when Mr. Davis mentioned that I was his widow, something imprinted in my mind that he is dead, I didn’t wanted to accept this… I had hope, now I am empty… and lifeless…    The door opened and Daisy walks in, she said, “Celeste.. come on get out of bed…. We will get some fresh air..” she is worried about me, everyone is, dad and Ace too…. In these days whenever Ace tried to be friendly with me I maintained distance, like…. I am a married women, but I am acting like this when he is not even here… and they say he is dead.   I whispered, “no.” Daisy caressed my face and said, “you can’t stay like this all your life.. you have to move on..” Daisy said, “get out of bed.. this is not healthy… let’s get around the city you will feel better… your dad asked you to do this… please…”   After an hour I was in the city, Daisy and I were having coffee. I didn’t talk much, Daisy asked, “Celeste for how long you are going to be like this…” I want to confess how I feel, I should or I will die in this guilt.   I whispered, “I hated him.. I said this to him hundreds of times… but when he is gone…. I feel like I am broken… I miss him so much…” Daisy pressed my hand and said, “Celeste… just forget everything… Ace likes you, can’t you give him a chance…” I looked out of the café glass wall wiping my tear. My eyes went wide… I walked out of there without waiting for Daisy to react…   I stood on the road looking at huge screen on the building, my hear is racing… the news say, ‘the 3 Prince showed up at the meeting in the parliament building yesterday… this is the first time the royal siblings showed up for any official meeting together…’    Yesterday…. They showed the pictures.. and I can see Ernest with his brother… he is alive…   I felt Daisy grabbing my hand, I said, “he is alive.. I need to see him…” I took a cab and asked them to take to the office… he is alive then why he hide it from me?   He faked his own death… he never showed up, did he knows how much I suffered… but I am happy at last he is alive… he is alive that whats I need…      I went to the office and asked at the reception, “is Prince is here?”   The receptionist said, “yes… but he is not up for meeting anyone…” I am frustrated..  I said, “call Mr. Davis tell him I am here…”     The receptionist did as I said and handed me the phone, Mr. Davis said, “Miss. Celeste?”    I said to him, “you lied to me… I want to meet him…”  Mr. Davis said, “but.. Prince refused to meet you.. he frees you… isn’t this you want?”   I was stunned, he let  me go.. that’s why he didn’t told me about him being all good and didn’t told my dad… he wants to leave me now… he lost interested.. but even if he wants me to go away I want to see him for last time at least to make sure he is real and alive…    I said, “Mr. Davis I want to meet him… please..” Mr. Davis said, “Miss. I suggest you to go home… he gave you a chance, go to the normal life you desire…”   I said to Mr. Davis, “listen… just once… one meeting then I won’t bother… please… I beg you…” I heard a sigh, then the call ended and I was left hanging. I  Kept the phone in frustration. I turned and noticed Mr. Davis was right there standing, I rushed to him and before I could say anything..   Mr. Davis said, “you can meet him… but I might lose a job after this… but meet him once… don’t make him angry…” I nodded and said, “thank you..”    I rushed into the elevator, and I waited till I can reach the floor… soon I rushed to his office, and I opened the door not caring about the rules he has.. I just want to make sure this is not a dream.. he is alive and here..   I opened the door and got in, I saw him standing by the glass wall, he turned and looked at me… I was in tears but I controlled it in…. he is alive?
