Chapter 5 False accusation

It's finally a month and Celeste is back to work although she tries to avoid Mia and her colleagues they still come to find her trouble regardless. Vincent's life has gone even worse, his life has gone downhill than he had expected. The Brooks families are so brutal they make sure Vincent has no peace and he is made to do all the guard's work without even feeding him, they treat him like a dog and make him regret even trying to help Celeste the day they met. Whenever Celeste goes to work they will treat him with contempt and make sure he is back to his room before Celeste returns.

"Should I just tell Celeste about this?" He thought to himself as he limped back to the room after he was done doing all the day's work. He collapsed on the bed and thought deeply about his recent life. He was about to stand up to take his bath when he heard the sound of the large door from the outside believing Celeste was back he jumped back on the bed and pretended to be asleep. Celeste was about to enter her room and decided to check on Vincent when she noticed that his door was slightly open. After knocking for some time and she got no response she finally peeked in, seeing he was fast asleep she opened the door widely and entered his room. "Oh he must have been so bored!" He is always asleep by the time I get back. Celeste pouted with a faint smile. She covered him well with the blanket before leaving the room. Vincent opened his eyes widely. He hoped he could stand up and told her he was always pretending to be asleep because he was ashamed to face her. He took his shower before finally drifting to sleep. The Next morning, Vincent stirred awake. He got up from the bed and quickly had his bath and changed into new clothes, he got up so late that day but something got him baffled by the fact that they hadn't sent for him even though he was sure Celeste would have gone to work earlier as usual. He was out of his room and walked towards the bathroom when an aroma of food caught his nose. Surprised he quickly rushed towards the kitchen and met Celeste cooking happily. Noticing him Celeste turned towards him with a smile. "Good morning she greeted". "Morning!" Vincent replied plainly. "Come and taste my food!" Celeste asserted waving her hands towards him, without thinking twice he rushed towards her like he had been craving for it. "You know how to cook!? Vincent inquired. "Of course, just taste this first and comment on it Later". Celeste replied with a smile. Vincent accepted it and had a taste, "wow this is so delicious he commented with a smile. "That's a relief!" I will cook a lot today so I can make your day lively. Celeste declared happily. "You are not going to work!?" Vincent questioned. "Yes! So, I can gist you and make you less bored" she enunciates. Vincent quickly rushed over her and enveloped her in a deep hug "Thank you!" he whispered. He was so happy he could finally get a day off from his crazy in-laws. "W...w..what are you doing!?" Celeste asked, confused. "I'm sorry, I'm just overjoyed," he replied with a smile before rushing out of the kitchen. A while later Celeste rushed out of the kitchen and grabbed her bag from the room. I will be back soon, she declared before rushing out. Vincent nodded with a fake smile, knowing he couldn't escape that day. Just as he had predicted a maid knocked on the door and informed him Bridget sought his audience. He got up and left to her room. He knocked a few more times before he was asked to enter. He entered the room and waited patiently by the door while Bridget was sitting majestically on the bed. "You sent for me!" he said curtly. "Yes I did!" come closer Bridget commanded. Vincent walked closer to her but she still asked him to move closer to her which the foolish Vincent did. She stood up to his length and tripped backward pretending to be falling. Vincent quickly rushed toward her and grabbed her by the waist before she could fall. But what she did next sent shivers down his spine. Bridget grabbed his shirt and pulled him down with herself; they both landed on the bed with Vincent on top of her. Help! Help!! Help!!! She screamed as the maids rushed in as if they were already prepared for her to shout. Vincent quickly wanted to stand up but she pulled him more. The maids rushed in and started hitting him with heavy objects. That's when it hit him that it was a trap. He finally struggled to stand up but he couldn't fight back as he fell abruptly because a maid slammed a vase on his head. Vincent was woken up by a bucket of cold water and excessive slap from the guards. He looked around and he was tied in both hands and legs to a pillar in front of the house. "You mother fucking bastard!" How could you try to rape my wife Edward yelled at the top of his voice angrily. Vincent ignored his yelling and scanned through the crowd. Everyone from the Brooks family is here to witness his end except one person. "Celeste" He smiled happily after all that was the only person he wouldn't want to see before his demise. This bastard still has the time to smile. He should be put to death right now "Flog him with the rod now" Mason commanded angrily. The guards began flogging Vincent with a rod in rage. He vomited a large portion of blood, he couldn't even open his mouth to defend himself. "Father!!" he will die at this rate, someone shouted, The voice breaking with tears. Vincent raised his head and saw Victor who was already soaked from his own tears. "This brat actually cared about me!?" Vincent said in his head as painful and hot tears streamed from his eyes. "What the hell are you doing!?" he heard that familiar voice as he raised his head again to look at where the beautiful voice came from. Then he saw Celeste rushing towards him and enveloping him in a deep and comforting hug. He wished he could hug her back but he couldn't as he vomited another large portion of blood. "This is my end" he whispered internally, his eyes closing slowly.
