63. WIN HER HEART

SEBASTIAN’s POV

Today is the celebration of my mom’s birthday. Everyone was excited, and despite the fact that the venue was already packed with hundreds of wealthy guests, they were still waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive.

I stood tall in front of the full-length mirror as I dressed for the

evening by donning a white dress shirt that had been brought to me by the ser vant. I heaved a sigh as I reached for the black tie and began to put it around my neck when, all of a sudden, I felt someone hugging me from behind.

“Hey…” As I turned to face her, a grin spread across my face. She was dressed up like a princess, and although she appeared sweet and lovely, I knew that behind that lovely face was a cruel devil.

She greeted me timidly with “Hi…” and I wanted to roll my eyes at the fake behavior she was displaying. According to what your mother told me, you just got off of your flight at four o’clock this morning and haven’t slept for even a few hours since you got here. Don’t you feel exhausted?”

She began to rub her palm against my back with the intention of calming me down, and although I wanted to recoil in discomfort, I forced myself to keep my composure. Instead, I gave her a warm smile and a nod of acknowledgement. “Don’t be concerned, Brylee. I’ve gotten used to it…”

She gave me a reassuring smile and continued massaging my back, apparently under the impression that I did not object to it.

“Did every member of your family make it?” While I was looking at her in the mirror, I asked the question casually.

I could tell by the momentary look of shock on her face that she was aware of the person I was looking for. She snapped out of her stupor almost instantly and plastered a grin across her face.

“Dad and mom are talking to your parents…” she retorted. “And Allen will definitely come here next time…

Allen was her younger brother and he was studying abroad… so I didn’t get to see him very often.

“Is that all there is?” I inquired, and she nodded while biting her bottom lip. “Haven’t I told you that wanted you to bring your whole family with you?”

Then I felt her tremble.

“Celine is…” she choked back her words. “Celine went out this morning… she claimed that she had to attend to something very important… Uh… she went to hang out with her friends, so I guess that’s… that.”

Friends? Jenny is the only friend I knew Celine had… The girl who was hit accidentally by their father.

“Oh, is that so…?”

After noticing how tensed she was, I couldn’t help but break into a smile and give her a tight hug.

“What gives you that shaky feeling?” I whispered into her ear when I felt her body tremble as well. “Let’s go…?”

She took a few anxious breaths before finally nodding.

We took the elevator down to the venue, and as the doors shot open. into the lobby, I saw Celine sitting in a chair wearing a stunning black dress. Even though her dress wasn’t quite as breathtaking as Brylee’s … she’s still the most beautiful girl here tonight.

On the other hand, the woman I was looking at was engaged in conversation with Jake, who was sitting directly next to her.

“Is that, Celine…?” Brylee’s eyes quickly darted over to the couple, and she narrowed her brows as she did so. She gave off the impression that she was taken aback at seeing her twin sister at the birthday party of my mother. It’s possible that she didn’t anticipate her being. here.

My gaze shifted from Brylee to Celine and Jake, and my eyes narrowed when I saw that they were smiling and chatting in an extremely joyful manner.

“You know what?” Brylee wore a broad smile as we approached them. “You two definitely looked together. Sebastian… do you think it’s

possible for us to have a double wedding?”

I looked at her and made no attempt to conceal the irritation that I was experiencing as a result of what she had said. Moreover… she appeared to be terrified as she thinned her lips together and averted her gaze.

However, the response that Celine provided caught me off guard. That’s a great suggestion! What are your thoughts on this… Jake?”

“Brilliant idea, of course!” my cousin responded, which made me grit my teeth. “If I’m not swamped with work, we can talk about it when I have some free time…”

“Hi there, Sebastian…” Celine greeted me, keeping her usual smile. The shape of her mouth was perfectly symmetrical, which turned her features into the most alluring angle possible.

D amn! I absolutely cannot stand it when she speaks or acts in a sarcastic manner.

When Jake gave her a gentle expression while looking at her with his

eyes lighting up… I couldn’t help but feel upset by his actions.

The day that Celine informed me that she would never love me is one that I will never forget. How could I ever win her heart?

CELINE’s POV

The atmosphere at the party for the upper class made me feel like I wanted to throw up. While Jake was talking to me, I maintained my cheerful expression but my thoughts were still focused on carrying out my vengeance.

“Which famous person would you like me to try to get an autograph for you?” Jake asked in curiosity, who was sitting next to me.

“Will they give it to you, though?” I asked back as I looked around, searching for Julio and Sasha Lauren.

“Of course! I am the almighty Jake!” he exclaimed as he lifted his arms, showing me his muscles, and I laughed so hard, and playfully hit his arm.

“Celine…” a voice echoed in my eardrums, jolting me out of my trance and bringing me back to my senses

When I looked up, Sebastian was standing directly in front of me, and beside him was the very elegant Brylee, who had a sour expression on her face because her fiance appeared to be keeping his distance from her on purpose.

Sebastian’s eyes were dark and appeared to be very deep as they looked at me obliquely.

I couldn’t help but think back to the time when I swore to him that would never, under any circumstances, fall in love with him… but I couldn’t help but wonder what it is that I’m feeling at this very

moment.

When I felt his intense gaze on me, my heart was beating so quickly that it hurt. After being exposed to many new things… I felt as though I had become an ice cube, unable to form any attachments and

unable to experience any feelings at all.

But now that I am aware that my heart beats for him, I will do everything in my power to prevent it from doing so. We’re not from the same world. We don’t belong to each other. He belongs to my sister, and I belong to no one.

I swallowed my sorrows and made a fake smile when Sebastian and my sister approached us.
