Chapter 4

"Stop teasing me...," Celine said."What do you want?" she stammered, resting her hands on Leon's chest. Celine has no idea what is happening to her, but every time Leon approaches her, her heart beats faster.

Leon gave her a glance and signed, "We're leaving this house," he said quietly, tenderly rubbing Celine's lips. 

Celine raised her brows as she met Leon's stare. (Hmm, is he up to something?) In amazement, she mutters to herself. Celine has lived in the home since her marriage to Leon. She was only permitted to leave when she went to visit her parents' grave. "Would you mind telling me where we're going?"

"I have projects outside of Cambridge, so we'll move to a house near my workplace," Leon said softly, tightening his grasp on Celine's body.

Celine was curious about the kind of company Leon was referring about. "Do I really need to come?" she inquired. Celine didn't aware her finger had already toyed with Leon's chest since she was immersed in concentration.

"You are my wife, so you must come," Leon said before kissing her lips. The kiss was brief, but its impact on Celine was profound. 

What is going on with me? My pulse is becoming very rapid... She blushed and mumbled to herself. 

Leon had been gone for a long time, but Celine was still astonished. No! That can't be! Celine quickly dismisses the notion that she is in love with her husband.

-------------

They left the house early, as Leon said. Celine was silent on the journey, analyzing her emotions for her spouse. She doesn't want to accept it, but Leon penetrates her heart with her awareness, and Celine is terrified. She was terrified of falling in love with her spouse!

"The rules in the last house will remain the same. You are not allowed to leave the house alone, as you were before," Leon says insensitively, his gaze concentrated on the papers in his hand.

Celine frowned, but she was expecting it. "Why do I have to hide? I'm sure your adversary is unaware of my appearance..." she responds, peering out the window.

Leon drew Celine in closer. "I'm not seeking your opinion... All I need is for you to follow my rule!" he said angrily before letting go of Celine's arm.

What's the deal with him this time? Did I make another mistake? She was perplexed by Leon's lack of interest. Celine chose to keep her lips shut after that statement, and Leon didn't seem to mind since he didn't say anything.

The automobile came to a halt in front of a house the size of Leon's in Cambridge. The only distinction is that the yard is a little smaller.

"What are you doing? Are you going to leave?" Celine was surprised when Leon stayed in the van.

"I told you, I have work," Leon said before the driver shut the door.

Celine signaled as she glanced towards the automobile, which suddenly vanished from view. "It's all right, Celine... At the very least, you'll feel at ease..." she said as she entered the home. 

Celine and Leon had been at their new home for a week. It's also been a week since Leon returned home, which Celine was relieved about. She has time to investigate her feelings.

"It's better to sit and watch than to think of nonsense..." Celine whispered as she took up the television remote.

Leon's expression astonished Celine as soon as the TV turned on. "What the hell?" she said. Celine had not expected Leon to appear on TV with a renowned movie actor.

"Is this the work he's talking about? That cretin! I believed he was unique among males!" Celine screamed as she grabbed the phone and called Leon's number.

[Sorry, the number you phoned was either unanswered or out of service region; please try again later...]

"Huh! You're ignoring my call now?!" Celine says, her eyes widening. It's her first call to Leon, and he has no intention of responding.

"Fine! Do whatever you want!" Celine screamed violently and turned on the television.

Celine was about to take a bath when Leon came that night. Celine is certain he is inebriated based on his looks. Perhaps he's in that superstar's arms... Celine had the notion as a result of this concept.

"It seems that your tire... How's it going at work?" With a sultry grin, Celine approaches Leon.

"What made you call? Did anything happen?" Leon inquired, his brow furrowed. Leon was astonished to find Celine miscalled since he had not received a call from her throughout their time together.

"Why? Is it forbidden for me to contact my husband?" As her hands are wrapped around Leon's neck, Celine makes a suggestive comment. Celine may have gotten the guts to behave this way because of envy.

"You're not going to call me out of nowhere... Can you tell me what's wrong?" Leon replied by putting his arm around Celine's waist.

"I saw you on TV earlier and thought of calling you..." Celine confessed while taking her hand from Leon's neck, but she was stopped by Leon.

"Hmm, my wife called me after watching me on TV with another lady... Is that correct?"Leon said sarcastically.

Celine flushes when she notices Leon's lips smirking. He's tormenting me once more! Celine drew her body closer to his with this in mind. "Why? Am I not allowed to bother you?" I attempt to make a funny look to cover my discomfort.

"Celine, please don't play with me..." Leon said this while glancing at her lips.

"And what will happen if I want to play?" Celine replies by rubbing her lips across Leon's lips.

Instead of responding, Leon grabbed Celine by the back of her neck and kissed her fiercely. Leon has been restrained for so long, but when Celine makes the first move, he loses his cool.

Celine, too, replied with the same zeal and passion. 

But Celine doesn't want to kiss Leon, so when she lets go of her lip, she leaves a gap on their bodies.

"I'm sure you're tired, so go to bed and get some rest..." Celine stated. She didn't wait for Leon's response before turning around and going to the restroom.

"Not so fast, my dear wife..."
