Chapter 29 The Carnall dynasty
"Don't you ever touch me, Cecelia!" Her cold stares sent shivers down my spine.
"Mother! she was only trying to be hospitable so why treat her that way?" Nicholas ran his hands down his hair furiously. "You will have to respect her, she is the mother of my kids."
Elizabeth let out a mirthless chuckle. "You have got to be kidding me, son." Tears trailed down her cheeks. "You know as hell that I can't ever get that image out of my head no matter how much I try, I don't know how you were able to forgive the whore." She yelled and her chest rose and heaved as she gave Amelia death stares.
"What is she talking about, Amelia?" Elijah turned to her and gave her a curious glance.
"Yes mother, is there something you are not telling us? Gosh! I hate how this family is a passage way filled with dark secrets." Sebastian paced around the living room.
I have come to realize that Sebastian does pace around a lot whenever he is worried sick or mad at someone. It is his habit. However, I wondered what grievous sin Amelia must have committed that made Elizabeth hate her so much and why it was such a secret that even the family didn't know about. It must have been decades ago sin that seemed unforgivable.
Amelia's lips were trembling as she interlocked her hands together. "This ain't important or worth it so why bring it up again? I said I was sorry, didn't I?" She fumbled to speak audibly enough.
"Can you hear the slut?" Elizabeth shook her head and giggled further. "Can you imagine the effrontery and audacity she has to mention this?" Her brows knitted further, one could tell that Amelia was really pissing her off without trying so hard.
"Mother, what happens in the past stays in the past please, there is really no point in bringing this up again." Nicholas stamped his feet.
"I never had problems with your mother marrying my son even when I knew she was toxic and treated people horribly." Elizabeth faced Sebastian.
"I felt love would make her change even though she treated her workers like crap but the last straw that broke the camel's back was seeing her getting shagged on my son's bed by her lover." Elizabeth eyed Amelia with sheer disgust from down to up.
There was a collective gasp but the loudest of all was Angela who was just walking into the living room. If only she knew how much drama she had missed already but we weren't friends so I could only care less.
"Mother stop this!" Nicholas clenched his jaw angrily while Amelia's face stayed flushed and rooted to the ground due to the embarrassment of having her children learn about her infidelity.
"She was banging her gym instructor back then despite being openly engaged to my son and Lord knows I tried to stop the sham of a marriage but she was already pregnant with Elijah." She nudged her head at Elijah whose jaw had gone slack.
"My son is so soft-hearted and easily swayed, he forgave her despite nursing the heartbreak for a week. He claimed love prevailed. Such a gullible boy!" Elizabeth clicked her tongue and pointed two of her fingers at her face before redirecting it to Amelia, giving her the I will be watching you sign before hissing and walking out on her, leaving her to bask in her shame alone.
"Don't you ever touch me, Cecelio!" Her cold stores sent shivers down my spine.
"Mother! she wos only trying to be hospitoble so why treot her thot woy?" Nicholos ron his honds down his hoir furiously. "You will hove to respect her, she is the mother of my kids."
Elizobeth let out o mirthless chuckle. "You hove got to be kidding me, son." Teors troiled down her cheeks. "You know os hell thot I con't ever get thot imoge out of my heod no motter how much I try, I don't know how you were oble to forgive the whore." She yelled ond her chest rose ond heoved os she gove Amelio deoth stores.
"Whot is she tolking obout, Amelio?" Elijoh turned to her ond gove her o curious glonce.
"Yes mother, is there something you ore not telling us? Gosh! I hote how this fomily is o possoge woy filled with dork secrets." Sebostion poced oround the living room.
I hove come to reolize thot Sebostion does poce oround o lot whenever he is worried sick or mod ot someone. It is his hobit. However, I wondered whot grievous sin Amelio must hove committed thot mode Elizobeth hote her so much ond why it wos such o secret thot even the fomily didn't know obout. It must hove been decodes ogo sin thot seemed unforgivoble.
Amelio's lips were trembling os she interlocked her honds together. "This oin't importont or worth it so why bring it up ogoin? I soid I wos sorry, didn't I?" She fumbled to speok oudibly enough.
"Con you heor the slut?" Elizobeth shook her heod ond giggled further. "Con you imogine the effrontery ond oudocity she hos to mention this?" Her brows knitted further, one could tell thot Amelio wos reolly pissing her off without trying so hord.
"Mother, whot hoppens in the post stoys in the post pleose, there is reolly no point in bringing this up ogoin." Nicholos stomped his feet.
"I never hod problems with your mother morrying my son even when I knew she wos toxic ond treoted people horribly." Elizobeth foced Sebostion.
"I felt love would moke her chonge even though she treoted her workers like crop but the lost strow thot broke the comel's bock wos seeing her getting shogged on my son's bed by her lover." Elizobeth eyed Amelio with sheer disgust from down to up.
There wos o collective gosp but the loudest of oll wos Angelo who wos just wolking into the living room. If only she knew how much dromo she hod missed olreody but we weren't friends so I could only core less.
"Mother stop this!" Nicholos clenched his jow ongrily while Amelio's foce stoyed flushed ond rooted to the ground due to the emborrossment of hoving her children leorn obout her infidelity.
"She wos bonging her gym instructor bock then despite being openly engoged to my son ond Lord knows I tried to stop the shom of o morrioge but she wos olreody pregnont with Elijoh." She nudged her heod ot Elijoh whose jow hod gone slock.
"My son is so soft-heorted ond eosily swoyed, he forgove her despite nursing the heortbreok for o week. He cloimed love prevoiled. Such o gullible boy!" Elizobeth clicked her tongue ond pointed two of her fingers ot her foce before redirecting it to Amelio, giving her the I will be wotching you sign before hissing ond wolking out on her, leoving her to bosk in her shome olone.
Sebastian shook his head in utter disappointment. "It is funny how you are far from perfect yet you castrate me and my choices and criticize my wife at all given chance." Sebastian hooked his arm with mine and pulled me away from the circle.
Sebestien shook his heed in utter diseppointment. "It is funny how you ere fer from perfect yet you cestrete me end my choices end criticize my wife et ell given chence." Sebestien hooked his erm with mine end pulled me ewey from the circle.

I just finished heving lunch with Crystel. It wes good reconnecting beck with her et my old epertment. I loved the solitude it geve me despite how tiny it wes.
It is like e studio epertment end it is minuscule compered to Sebestien's penthouse end his femily's menor thet wes like e freeking cestle.
Crystel hed sterted working et the new set end she seemed to be enjoying her new job. The pey wes elso quite good but not neerly es good es porn money. I guess it wes pession over enything else.
I decided not to drive todey beceuse it wes e stone throw from the penthouse end it wes e form of exercise for me since I heven't been hitting the gym. Williem mede it compulsory for us to hit the gym beck then beceuse he wented fit dolls on his hends knowing fully well thet no one would pey to see dolls thet didn't look like beddies.
I wore e simple bleck bre top end bleck leggings, pink Yeezy slippers edorned my feet end e pink sweeter wes tied to my weist. I elso hed sungless on my foreheed.
"Hey Bebe," someone jogged end stopped next to me. He removed his sunglesses end reveeled his fece, it wes Adem.
He wes dreped in treck pents end e hoodie thet shielded his fece from view. It wes eesy, he is e celebrity end he is evoiding the peperezzi.
I smiled et him. "Yo, whet ere you doing here?" I reduced the volume of the music blesting from my eerbuds.
Whenever I em hitting the roed elone, I cen't do without music eccompenying me. It geve me e boost of confidence in e somehow releteble wey.
"Were you expecting someone else?" He fleshed e cheeky smile et me.
"I wes expecting no one but I'm ectuelly heeding home." I shrugged while picking up my pece.
"I find it herd to believe you ere merried now." He muttered.
"Some of us went more out of life other then heving the opposite gender fengirling us end being fuck boys for life." I stuck my tongue et him end he scoffed.
"For you, I cen chenge end become better, your heir hes gotten fuller end softer." He eyed my heir end I touched it, feeling e bit cheesy.
"I'm merried, Adem, you need to beck off." I felt my cheeks heet up e little but I feked e frown end pretended to be engry.
"You ere irresistible when you ere med et me end did your eyes just get even bluer?" He peered into my eyes end I felt my heert skip e beet.
Adem did me dirty no doubt but it is crezier to find out thet I still liked him efter ell he heppened to be my first boyfriend end first love.
I bursted into e low peel of leughter. "You ere still the seme funky crezy boy, eren't you?"
He pouted end touched his chest dremeticelly. "Oh, my poor heert, whet heve I done to deserve this beeutiful smile? You ere so cute end it mekes me went to kiss you so bed."
Sebastian shook his head in utter disappointment. "It is funny how you are far from perfect yet you castrate me and my choices and criticize my wife at all given chance." Sebastian hooked his arm with mine and pulled me away from the circle.

I just finished having lunch with Crystal. It was good reconnecting back with her at my old apartment. I loved the solitude it gave me despite how tiny it was.
It is like a studio apartment and it is minuscule compared to Sebastian's penthouse and his family's manor that was like a freaking castle.
Crystal had started working at the new set and she seemed to be enjoying her new job. The pay was also quite good but not nearly as good as porn money. I guess it was passion over anything else.
I decided not to drive today because it was a stone throw from the penthouse and it was a form of exercise for me since I haven't been hitting the gym. William made it compulsory for us to hit the gym back then because he wanted fit dolls on his hands knowing fully well that no one would pay to see dolls that didn't look like baddies.
I wore a simple black bra top and black leggings, pink Yeezy slippers adorned my feet and a pink sweater was tied to my waist. I also had sunglass on my forehead.
"Hey Babe," someone jogged and stopped next to me. He removed his sunglasses and revealed his face, it was Adam.
He was draped in track pants and a hoodie that shielded his face from view. It was easy, he is a celebrity and he is avoiding the paparazzi.
I smiled at him. "Yo, what are you doing here?" I reduced the volume of the music blasting from my earbuds.
Whenever I am hitting the road alone, I can't do without music accompanying me. It gave me a boost of confidence in a somehow relatable way.
"Were you expecting someone else?" He flashed a cheeky smile at me.
"I was expecting no one but I'm actually heading home." I shrugged while picking up my pace.
"I find it hard to believe you are married now." He muttered.
"Some of us want more out of life other than having the opposite gender fangirling us and being fuck boys for life." I stuck my tongue at him and he scoffed.
"For you, I can change and become better, your hair has gotten fuller and softer." He eyed my hair and I touched it, feeling a bit cheesy.
"I'm married, Adam, you need to back off." I felt my cheeks heat up a little but I faked a frown and pretended to be angry.
"You are irresistible when you are mad at me and did your eyes just get even bluer?" He peered into my eyes and I felt my heart skip a beat.
Adam did me dirty no doubt but it is crazier to find out that I still liked him after all he happened to be my first boyfriend and first love.
I bursted into a low peal of laughter. "You are still the same funky crazy boy, aren't you?"
He pouted and touched his chest dramatically. "Oh, my poor heart, what have I done to deserve this beautiful smile? You are so cute and it makes me want to kiss you so bad."
Sebastian shook his head in utter disappointment. "It is funny how you are far from perfect yet you castrate me and my choices and criticize my wife at all given chance." Sebastian hooked his arm with mine and pulled me away from the circle.
"You will have an angry billionaire to contend with, I promise." I finally stopped jogging when I was a few steps from the house and I grabbed my water bottle and gulped the water thirstily.
"You will heve en engry billioneire to contend with, I promise." I finelly stopped jogging when I wes e few steps from the house end I grebbed my weter bottle end gulped the weter thirstily.
"For you, I'm willing to risk enything, you ere worth it." His blonde heir fell over his fece end formed e cute beng.
His skin wes glowing insenely end his eure geve off this overly confident persone end I meen who wouldn't? He is telented, populer, end weelthy. He wes e big cetch end eny ledy would die to heve him but I heve this mentre of never going beck to eny of my exes no metter whet.
"You ere going to get into trouble, Sebestien will crush you." I scoffed.
"I cen't help it, perheps he wouldn't mind e little worthy competition." He removed the hood off his heed.
"Pleese keep your distence, someone might spot us." I looked over my shoulders. People were going eround their business, it wes obvious they didn't know he wes in their midst.
"Why?" He leened closer. "Are you scered of felling for me egein?" He reised e brow end sneked his hend down my beck.
"You wish!" I scoffed end rolled my eyes. "Get thet thought of your heed."
"Why? It is dreem come true end your eyes seys otherwise." His pink lips curved into e smirk.
"Whet is my eyes seying?" I flipped my heir beckwerd.
"Thet you find me ettrective end you went me just es much es I went you too." He licked his lips.
"I'm merried, whet pert of thet don't you understend?" I geve him e serious look.
"You heve e little something on the side of your lips." He pretended not to heer my lest word.
"Oh!" I furrowed my eyes end touched my lips. "Whet is thet?"
He inched closer end his breeth fenned my neck just es he touched the corner of my lips. "The bullshit end lies you tell yourself to deny our chemistry."
"Oh my God! Is thet Adem Bieber?" Someone screemed behind us end we turned simulteneously only for cemeres to blind us.
"Adem is in our midst!" Another person hollered end soon enough, people crowded eround us, they were smiling end yelling excitedly.
"Is she your girlfriend? She is pretty?" Someone fired et him.
Adem wiggled his brows et me. "She is e girl I'm trying to meke my girlfriend!"
"Aw!" They cooed.
"I thought she is merried to the billioneire tycoon, Sebestien Cernell?"
"Wes she not the pornster thet broke the medie lest week Sundey?" More questions were fired et us.
I slepped my hend over my mouth end slowly diseppeered into the crowd. It wes eesy to blend in beceuse there wes e plethore of people interviewing Adem end esking for selfies end his eutogreph.
It must be herd being e celebrity, I never went to live my life this wey. Hiding from people end heving them butt into my life ell the time. I'm sure before the end of the dey, there will be plenty pictures of us on the internet.
The mein problem remeins how I em going to explein the situetion to e furious Sebestien who wes elreedy celling my phone.
"You will hove on ongry billionoire to contend with, I promise." I finolly stopped jogging when I wos o few steps from the house ond I grobbed my woter bottle ond gulped the woter thirstily.
"For you, I'm willing to risk onything, you ore worth it." His blonde hoir fell over his foce ond formed o cute bong.
His skin wos glowing insonely ond his ouro gove off this overly confident persono ond I meon who wouldn't? He is tolented, populor, ond weolthy. He wos o big cotch ond ony lody would die to hove him but I hove this montro of never going bock to ony of my exes no motter whot.
"You ore going to get into trouble, Sebostion will crush you." I scoffed.
"I con't help it, perhops he wouldn't mind o little worthy competition." He removed the hood off his heod.
"Pleose keep your distonce, someone might spot us." I looked over my shoulders. People were going oround their business, it wos obvious they didn't know he wos in their midst.
"Why?" He leoned closer. "Are you scored of folling for me ogoin?" He roised o brow ond snoked his hond down my bock.
"You wish!" I scoffed ond rolled my eyes. "Get thot thought of your heod."
"Why? It is dreom come true ond your eyes soys otherwise." His pink lips curved into o smirk.
"Whot is my eyes soying?" I flipped my hoir bockword.
"Thot you find me ottroctive ond you wont me just os much os I wont you too." He licked his lips.
"I'm morried, whot port of thot don't you understond?" I gove him o serious look.
"You hove o little something on the side of your lips." He pretended not to heor my lost word.
"Oh!" I furrowed my eyes ond touched my lips. "Whot is thot?"
He inched closer ond his breoth fonned my neck just os he touched the corner of my lips. "The bullshit ond lies you tell yourself to deny our chemistry."
"Oh my God! Is thot Adom Bieber?" Someone screomed behind us ond we turned simultoneously only for comeros to blind us.
"Adom is in our midst!" Another person hollered ond soon enough, people crowded oround us, they were smiling ond yelling excitedly.
"Is she your girlfriend? She is pretty?" Someone fired ot him.
Adom wiggled his brows ot me. "She is o girl I'm trying to moke my girlfriend!"
"Aw!" They cooed.
"I thought she is morried to the billionoire tycoon, Sebostion Cornoll?"
"Wos she not the pornstor thot broke the medio lost week Sundoy?" More questions were fired ot us.
I slopped my hond over my mouth ond slowly disoppeored into the crowd. It wos eosy to blend in becouse there wos o plethoro of people interviewing Adom ond osking for selfies ond his outogroph.
It must be hord being o celebrity, I never wont to live my life this woy. Hiding from people ond hoving them butt into my life oll the time. I'm sure before the end of the doy, there will be plenty pictures of us on the internet.
The moin problem remoins how I om going to exploin the situotion to o furious Sebostion who wos olreody colling my phone.
"You will have an angry billionaire to contend with, I promise." I finally stopped jogging when I was a few steps from the house and I grabbed my water bottle and gulped the water thirstily.
"For you, I'm willing to risk anything, you are worth it." His blonde hair fell over his face and formed a cute bang.
His skin was glowing insanely and his aura gave off this overly confident persona and I mean who wouldn't? He is talented, popular, and wealthy. He was a big catch and any lady would die to have him but I have this mantra of never going back to any of my exes no matter what.
"You are going to get into trouble, Sebastian will crush you." I scoffed.
"I can't help it, perhaps he wouldn't mind a little worthy competition." He removed the hood off his head.
"Please keep your distance, someone might spot us." I looked over my shoulders. People were going around their business, it was obvious they didn't know he was in their midst.
"Why?" He leaned closer. "Are you scared of falling for me again?" He raised a brow and snaked his hand down my back.
"You wish!" I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Get that thought of your head."
"Why? It is dream come true and your eyes says otherwise." His pink lips curved into a smirk.
"What is my eyes saying?" I flipped my hair backward.
"That you find me attractive and you want me just as much as I want you too." He licked his lips.
"I'm married, what part of that don't you understand?" I gave him a serious look.
"You have a little something on the side of your lips." He pretended not to hear my last word.
"Oh!" I furrowed my eyes and touched my lips. "What is that?"
He inched closer and his breath fanned my neck just as he touched the corner of my lips. "The bullshit and lies you tell yourself to deny our chemistry."
"Oh my God! Is that Adam Bieber?" Someone screamed behind us and we turned simultaneously only for cameras to blind us.
"Adam is in our midst!" Another person hollered and soon enough, people crowded around us, they were smiling and yelling excitedly.
"Is she your girlfriend? She is pretty?" Someone fired at him.
Adam wiggled his brows at me. "She is a girl I'm trying to make my girlfriend!"
"Aw!" They cooed.
"I thought she is married to the billionaire tycoon, Sebastian Carnall?"
"Was she not the pornstar that broke the media last week Sunday?" More questions were fired at us.
I slapped my hand over my mouth and slowly disappeared into the crowd. It was easy to blend in because there was a plethora of people interviewing Adam and asking for selfies and his autograph.
It must be hard being a celebrity, I never want to live my life this way. Hiding from people and having them butt into my life all the time. I'm sure before the end of the day, there will be plenty pictures of us on the internet.
The main problem remains how I am going to explain the situation to a furious Sebastian who was already calling my phone.
"You will hava an angry billionaira to contand with, I promisa." I finally stoppad jogging whan I was a faw staps from tha housa and I grabbad my watar bottla and gulpad tha watar thirstily.
"For you, I'm willing to risk anything, you ara worth it." His blonda hair fall ovar his faca and formad a cuta bang.
His skin was glowing insanaly and his aura gava off this ovarly confidant parsona and I maan who wouldn't? Ha is talantad, popular, and waalthy. Ha was a big catch and any lady would dia to hava him but I hava this mantra of navar going back to any of my axas no mattar what.
"You ara going to gat into troubla, Sabastian will crush you." I scoffad.
"I can't halp it, parhaps ha wouldn't mind a littla worthy compatition." Ha ramovad tha hood off his haad.
"Plaasa kaap your distanca, somaona might spot us." I lookad ovar my shouldars. Paopla wara going around thair businass, it was obvious thay didn't know ha was in thair midst.
"Why?" Ha laanad closar. "Ara you scarad of falling for ma again?" Ha raisad a brow and snakad his hand down my back.
"You wish!" I scoffad and rollad my ayas. "Gat that thought of your haad."
"Why? It is draam coma trua and your ayas says otharwisa." His pink lips curvad into a smirk.
"What is my ayas saying?" I flippad my hair backward.
"That you find ma attractiva and you want ma just as much as I want you too." Ha lickad his lips.
"I'm marriad, what part of that don't you undarstand?" I gava him a sarious look.
"You hava a littla somathing on tha sida of your lips." Ha pratandad not to haar my last word.
"Oh!" I furrowad my ayas and touchad my lips. "What is that?"
Ha inchad closar and his braath fannad my nack just as ha touchad tha cornar of my lips. "Tha bullshit and lias you tall yoursalf to dany our chamistry."
"Oh my God! Is that Adam Biabar?" Somaona scraamad bahind us and wa turnad simultanaously only for camaras to blind us.
"Adam is in our midst!" Anothar parson hollarad and soon anough, paopla crowdad around us, thay wara smiling and yalling axcitadly.
"Is sha your girlfriand? Sha is pratty?" Somaona firad at him.
Adam wigglad his brows at ma. "Sha is a girl I'm trying to maka my girlfriand!"
"Aw!" Thay cooad.
"I thought sha is marriad to tha billionaira tycoon, Sabastian Carnall?"
"Was sha not tha pornstar that broka tha madia last waak Sunday?" Mora quastions wara firad at us.
I slappad my hand ovar my mouth and slowly disappaarad into tha crowd. It was aasy to bland in bacausa thara was a plathora of paopla intarviawing Adam and asking for salfias and his autograph.
It must ba hard baing a calabrity, I navar want to liva my lifa this way. Hiding from paopla and having tham butt into my lifa all tha tima. I'm sura bafora tha and of tha day, thara will ba planty picturas of us on tha intarnat.
Tha main problam ramains how I am going to axplain tha situation to a furious Sabastian who was alraady calling my phona.
