why are risking this much for me?

Epiosde-158 why are risking this much for me?

Celeste's POV:

I felt someone grabbing my hand as I was

busy in my thoughts... I saw Steven. I tried to pull away but he said, "Celeste...

let me hold it... I won't do anything..."

I don't know what to

do?... Steven said, "show me around.... Please..." I nodded... after like 20 minutes

I was done showing him the house, he is funny and nice... he said, " will you not show me your room.." my room?...

This is

embarrassing.. I opened the door for him and said, "my room... it's nothing

much.." he said as he looked around, "wow... it's like how princesses live..."

I smiled and said,

"I am not Princess..."

He looked at the

book shelf and the study table and said, "how do you survive these books..... god! you are really genius..." I chuckled.. yea.. I have lots of books...

He said, "looks like I have to arrange books

for you in my place... don't worry I will arrange an entire room filled with books if you like them.." he means when we get married.. I have to stop him right there...

I said, "I am not a

v****n..." it took a lot of courage.. he turned to me as I said this\, my eyes

were getting teary, I said, "I do not love you... are you still signing up for this?.. I will be honest, I won't able to love again... this engagement would be senseless and hurtful... I am legally married to a man.."

He walked to me and

touched my cheek\, he said, "I am not v****n either... I had 2 girlfriends so far\, both of them were for money and cheat on my back... I don't demand things like v*******y\, purity of body is defined when the heart is pure... I just care about you being pure hearted... and no once an dirty you even if they try too"

I moved back and

said, "but I don't love you..." he said as he looked at me, "I don't care... I know one day you will love me, I promise I won't force you, I wait till you love me.... When I saw you I want to make you mine, but I won't force you... and we will find a way to break the marriage with the Prince... it's not your problem now.. it's

mine... I feel the need to protect you.. you are magical..."

I really have no

faith in any men now.. but he sounds promising but somewhat unreasonable too... I

asked, "why?.. why are risking this much for me?"

He replied, "I

don't know... but I care for you, I didn't sleep well since I saw your picture...

you did something, and I swear on my life, I have feelings for you.. that why I agreed to marry you..." I am so confused and worried at this point...

I looked away as I

was trying to control my own self.. I heard him, "you can take all the time you need, Celeste...." He walked out of the room... I stood there thinking to myself....

what should I do?....

After dinner,

Steven went to his hotel room... I am glad that he is not staying here. I walked

in my room and went to the bathroom. I washed my face and applied some lotion,

but the entire time I was thinking about Steven and Ernest... these two men!...

I walked out of the

bathroom and I saw Ernest sitting on the chair, my eyes went wide. I shouldn't panic, I should be more stronger and controlling.. just like he is..
