Chapter 3


Celeste's POV


And I am not your savior
I am just as fucked as you
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself
Please don't take pity on me




I let out a relaxed sigh as I chuckled to myself. I can't beleive Kaiba actually walked right into that trap, but the bad news was that he now knew about my, if you'd call it that, relationship with my parents. I suppose now we are even, I know about Gozaburo, he knows about my family. And you know, you'd expect rich families to get along, they had everything they needed. I guess that just isn't enough. I could have cried, but I didn't.




I lifted the sponge to run along my leg, listening to the uneven fall of the water. I let the warm water relax my entire body as I put my head back and closed my eyes. Soon I'd be at the top, and everything will be fine. I'll get to work in my own building, seperate from my family, and I won't have to deal with any more threats or expectations. My eyes slowly drifted open to face the window next to the tub. I felt as if I was drifting away as I gazed out into the dark blue wide open, stars twinkling, the cool breeze of night filling my head, those two mischievious amythest eyes.........Amythest eyes!!!???!!!




I gasped as I grabbed the towel from the tile floor next to me and jumped out of the tub, causing the water to rush over the sides of it onto the floor. I hastily wrapped the towel around myself, my legs now shaking from the air. I stared at his eyes, and instantly stopped shaking. His eyes entranced me, they were almost hypontizing. His silver hair fell gracefully down to his shoulders, and I couldn't move. I was frozen as I watched him approach the window with a handsome smile gracing his features.




You'll be mine soon, Celeste. In the Shadow Realm, no one will hear you scream.



What? What was that? His lips didn't even move at all, but I knew it was him who said it. From the haunting expression on his face, it was him. What was the Shadow Realm? Who was he? My eyes fell to a beautiful golden staff he was holding in his right hand, which was glowing like a star. The man grew angry, like I was going steal it from him by looking at it. Suddenly, a blinding light surrounded him and he disappeared in an instant. I began to shake again, and I felt my body released from the spell. I ran over to the window and shut it.


I drained the water and walked back to my room to slip into bed. As I drifted off into sleep, the words still lingering in my head.

Next Day At Kouinichi Corp





-Ring!-



I bit my lip as I looked at the Id of the person calling.


Mother.


I took a deep breath and reluctantly picked up the phone.


"Hello?"


"Celeste Kouinichi! Are you trying to ruin my name??"


I frowned, "What"


"Why on earth would you let Seto Kaiba run our company??" She screeched.


"I didn't! He threatened us, and I didn't know what to say! You told me whenever an important desicion is to be made, I should leave it to you!"


"You should have had the common sense to think of something! The faster we would have gotten this over, the better. I mean, couldn't you have just bribed the Health Commision back?"


"Well if I would have done that, it would have been too much money according to you. There's always something wrong with the way I do business!"


"Or maybe you just don't have the business skills for this job. Celeste, you would have never gotten into college anyway."


I don't know why, but those words dug right into my heart. I felt a tear slip down my face as I listened to the insults being thrown at me over the other line. I knew it. Once I had followed her rules and not gone into college, once I had no future except for this business, she was going to fire me. On Monday morning, she would come in and tell it to me.


I closed my eyes and sighed, as I felt another tear come, "I'm never going to be good enough for you, am I?" I took one last breath and set the phone gently back on the hook. I wiped the tears briskly away and straightened myself up as I heard a knock at my door. I whirled around to face my secretary's smiling face through the window. I opened the door.


"Good Morning, Miss!" She said happily.


I just stared.


She looked a little disapointed at my reaction,"Okay, well, Your sister Maysaki would like you to pick her up at this address." She handed me a slip of paper. "She said she is doing a school project and needs to bring a friend along with you to work today." I stared at the address lazily and nodded my head as I pushed past her.


I climbed into my car and slammed the door shut as I sped off down the street.
