Chapter 262
“So, I can’t attack her, huh?”
Celestia’s golden eyes burned with pure rage, her jaw clenched as she processed the realization.
She didn’t believe it.
She refused to accept it.
Rather than calming down, rather than stepping back this only made her madder.
Celestia turned sharply on her heels and walked straight to the table again.
—
“Hey, girl” Olivia quickly followed after her, her instincts screaming at her to stop Celestia.
She could already guess what Celestia was thinking of doing.
“I think we should stop this and maybe sit down and talk,” Olivia suggested, trying to keep her voice level.
“You can’t harm anyone here… and you realize it now.”
But Celestia ignored her completely.
She snatched up the heavy ceramic pot from the table, her eyes flickering dangerously as she turned her sights back on Rose.
Without hesitation, she hurled it with full force at Rose’s face.
—
“Celestia, stop!”
Olivia lunged, but she was a second too late.
The pot was already mid-air, soaring directly toward Rose’s face.
Even though Olivia could guess that the pot wouldn’t hurt Rose just like before she didn’t want to take the risk.
She grabbed Celestia’s wrist, yanking her back.
—
“You fucking BITCH! HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY?!”
Rose screamed, seeing the pot rushing toward her.
FLASH.
Just like before
The pot vanished.
It reappeared right back on the table beside Celestia.
—
“Damn it!” Celestia cursed, her fists trembling in fury.
Rose exhaled sharply, her chest rising and falling.
She was saved again.
And now she was sure.
She couldn’t be hurt.
At least not by Celestia.
—
“You bitch, stop it now!”
Rose’s voice rose with anger.
“Why the fuck is your ass burning?! Lucian isn’t even your boyfriend! He’s not even your friend! Why are you acting like this?!”
Rose was furious now.
Celestia had already tried to punch her in the face, thrown a pot at her twice, and now she was still looking like she wanted blood.
Even though Rose couldn’t move much, she wasn’t going to just let Celestia do whatever she wanted.
“You dare, BITCH?!”
Celestia’s expression twisted violently, her entire body tensing as Rose’s words stabbed at her sensitive nerve.
Her hand shot out toward the pot again.
She was going to throw it. Again.
—
“Hey! Calm down, Celestia don’t!”
Olivia tightened her grip on Celestia’s wrist.
But Celestia ignored her completely.
Then she paused.
—
Wait.
She could feel Olivia’s grip.
She could feel the warmth of her skin against hers.
—
Her mind clicked.
“Wait… You can touch me?”
She blinked, her rage momentarily overridden by realization.
“Isn’t this world supposed to stop us from touching each other? Or… is it only me?”
Even though her anger was all-consuming, her brain was still working.
She slowly placed her other hand on Olivia’s wrist.
Yes. She could touch her.
The world wasn’t stopping her this time.
—
“Is this only happening when I’m with Rose?” Celestia thought quickly.
Or…
Maybe it’s because Olivia didn’t have any intention of attacking or hurting me?
She calculated the possibilities.
The latter seemed more reasonable.
—
“Calm down, girl. It’s alright,” Olivia patted Celestia’s hand, trying to soothe her.
But Celestia snapped.
“WHAT?! Calm down?!
I won’t calm down! That bitch wants to take Lucian from me! How could I?!”
Her voice shook with fury.
“She even dared to KISS HIM!”
“A KISS. In front of me.
And she did it forcefully. To him.”
Celestia gritted her teeth, her muscles straining as she tried to break free from Olivia’s hold.
“How DARE she?! I won’t take a breath until I kill her!”
But Olivia held her wrist tighter, not letting her go.
—
“You bitch! When did Lucian become yours?!”
Rose snapped back.
“He belongs to no one!”
“You have no fucking right to take him either! If anything, I have just as much if not MORE right to have him!”
Rose’s voice cracked with fury, her emotions bubbling over the edge.
She couldn’t move, but she sure as hell wasn’t going to stay silent.
She didn’t even know what she was saying at this point.
But hearing Celestia claim Lucian as hers?
It broke something inside her.
She wanted to kill this bitch.
And what the hell did she mean ‘forcefully’?!
Did she even know anything?!
Rose clenched her fists.
She had done it to make Lucian trust her.
Yes. Trust her.
Maybe…
Yes. Trust.
But maybe something else, too.
—
Olivia’s eyes widened in shock. She had already been stunned by Celestia’s aggressive outburst, but hearing Rose her normally composed daughter speak with such crude language left her speechless.
“Rose, you…”
Olivia’s wide eyes snapped to her daughter.
She had never never in her life heard Rose speak like this.
Hearing her curse, yell, and claim Lucian as hers
Olivia was completely shocked.
Her mouth slightly opened in disbelief.
—
Rose saw Olivia’s expression.
Her stomach dropped.
She stiffened for a second, her face breaking eye contact immediately.
“Shit.”
Her mind screamed.
“Why is Mother here?! Why is she looking at me like that?!”
She felt her heart hammering.
Did she really just say that in front of her own mother?!
Rose’s hand shot up, covering her mouth.
“I said too much…”
—
“More right to have Lucian than me?”
Celestia’s voice dropped, cold and venomous.
Her golden eyes glowed with burning fury.
“BITCH.
Do you think I forgot how you guys treated him?!”
Her voice was like poison, spilling across the room.
—
She had wanted to say this in front of Lucian.
She had wanted to remind them of their realities.
But the world never allowed her to.
But now…
She realized something.
Maybe I can’t punch her.
Maybe I can’t kill her.
But I can destroy them mentally.
Celestia’s lips curled into a vicious smirk.
And she didn’t believe the world would stop her from doing that.
“Let me show you your real reality, you bitch… You deserve him more?”
Celestia angrily mimicked Rose’s words, her face red with rage, but a cruel light flashed in her golden eyes.
Just those words from Celestia
Rose’s body trembled.
She stared at Celestia, her breath catching in her throat.
Olivia, who had been gripping Celestia’s wrist, suddenly stiffened.
Her fingers went limp.
She let go of Celestia’s wrist and took a step back.
“No… Don’t…
DON’T!”
Olivia yelled hard louder than both of them combined till now.
