Pay For Lovely Me novel Chapter 1

"Celia Su! Come out!"

Celia Su hadn't slept well all night. Now she was rudely awakened by the commotion from downstairs. She sat up in bed looking haggard, especially without any makeup.

'That sounds like Lina. Why is she here so early in the morning?

Didn't she have her pre-wedding photo-shoot today?' The thought of the wedding sent a jab of pain to her heart. She pursed her lips and tried to push that thought away from her mind.

"Miss Lina, Miss Celia hasn't woken up yet."

"Fuck off! Where is that bitch?"

When Celia Su opened the door, the muffled sounds of the angry voice became clearer.

Clad in a fiery red dress, Lina You angrily stomped up the stairs in her three-inch-high heels. Her hatred for Celia Su shone in her eyes.

Celia Su asked indifferently,

"What's the matter?"

Lina You gnashed her teeth. Her face was as red as her dress and her gaze dropped straight to Celia's flat stomach.

"You are such a shameless woman! You secretly had a baby with Hans?

If you think that will stop me from marrying him, dream on!"

Lina You spat.

Celia's expression changed. She gave Cassie, who had followed Lina, an embarrassed look.

This change in Celia's expression made Lina even more furious. She raised her hand and slapped her hard.

Cassie exclaimed, "Miss Celia!"

The force of the slap jolted Celia and she staggered a bit. She quickly reached out to grasp the railing for support.

It all happened so fast that she couldn't even dodge the slap. But this didn't quell Lina's anger. Instead, it deepened her hatred.

"Get lost!"

Lina screamed at Cassie, who was trying to help Celia. After Celia signaled Cassie to leave, she turned around and went downstairs.

A tense silence hung in the air.

"Did he tell you?"

Celia asked in a low voice, suppressing her sadness.

Lina was stunned momentarily but then she smiled smugly and said,

"Of course! Hans never hides anything from me. He said that you should have an abortion within three days and then leave the villa. If you don't do that, he will hire a group of men to rape you until you have the abortion."

Her cruel words pierced through Celia's heart like a blade. Her face turned pale.

Somewhere deep down, she believed that Hans Pei was capable of doing something so ghastly.

He could do anything for the sake of revenge. Fear gripped her heart and she tightened her hold on the handrail until her knuckles turned white.

"Celia, do you really think that Hans will fall in love with you? Mark my words; it will never happen. And I'll tell you one more thing: he loathes you because of his mother's death.

If you don't abort the baby, your lover, Ryan, will also be dead. Maybe you don't know the real reason your brother, Joe, was addicted to drugs. It was all Hans's doing. You are so stupid to think that he would save Joe. Now just wait and watch; Ryan's fate will be worse than Joe's!"

Celia's face fell and she looked broken. Seeing this, Lina's anger faded and was replaced by joy.

She was determined to not allow Celia to steal her man and ruin her happiness.

Celia, on the other hand, was feeling suffocated.

She remembered the gut-wrenching sight of her brother at the height of his addiction. His face was twisted in agony as he spoke his parting words. "Celia, promise me you won't fall in love with him!"
