Chapter 240: Celine’s Despair

(Author’s POV)

Caleb sneered at the phone, his expression twisting with cold disgust.

“Do you think I’d still believe your bullshit?” he spat into the receiver.

His voice was laced with a venom that had been brewing since he woke from his coma.

“Celine, look at where you are now. This is entirely your own doing!”

He paced the small room, his grip on the phone tightening until his knuckles turned white.

“You deceived us for years,” Caleb continued, his tone unforgiving. “You were secretly contacting that deadbeat father of yours, Chuck Haden, behind our backs the whole time.”

Inside Caleb’s mind, his wolf, Noah, roared in fury.

The beast felt a wave of nausea wash over him at the thought of the woman they had once

considered family.

Her betrayal was a stain on their honor.

Caleb took a deep breath, trying to steady his shaking hands.

“If you had just told me about your troubles earlier, he said, his voice dropping to a harsh whisper. “Ethan and I might have solved this mess for you long ago. We wouldn’t have let you end up like

this.”

Silence stretched on the other end, heavy and suffocating.

“But now?” Caleb laughed bitterly. “I will absolutely not come to save you. And I won’t let Ethan go

either.”

He thought of his elder brother, currently lying in a hospital bed.

“Ethan is suffering in that hospital right now because he tried to detoxify Amelia,” Caleb growled. “He’s been tormented enough. I will never allow you to hurt my family again.”

Without waiting for a response, Caleb ruthlessly ended the call.

He tossed the phone onto the worn cushion of the sofa.

Hatred bubbled in his chest, hot and suffocating.

He could never forgive himself.

He had hurt his biological sister, Amelia, time and time again just to vent anger for this adopted

sister.

And what was the result?

When **Karma** struck and he lay in a coma, Celine had betrayed him without a second thought.

Noah’s voice echoed coldly in his mind.

“Not killing her with our own hands is already our greatest mercy.”

Livia heard the commotion and hurried out from the bedroom.

She stared at the phone on the sofa, her face contorting with rage.

“Was that her?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “Was that the **Imposter**?”

She gritted her teeth, cursing the girl who had caused them to be driven out of the Stone River

Pack House.

“That ungrateful wretch,” Livia hissed. “She made us homeless!”

After the initial burst of anger, a look of deep regret washed over Livia’s face.

She slumped onto a chair, burying her face in her hands.

“I should have treated Amelia better,” she moaned. “She is my flesh and blood.”

She looked up at Caleb, her eyes sharp with warning.

“Caleb, listen to me. We loved Celine before, yes. But she is a sinner of this family now.”

Livia stood up and grabbed Caleb’s arm.

“You absolutely cannot be soft–hearted,” she insisted.

Caleb nodded firmly.

“Don’t worry, Mom,” he said. “The only sister I care about now is Amelia.”

Suddenly, a thought struck him.

He paused, his eyes widening slightly.

“Mom,” Caleb said slowly. “November 2nd… that’s Amelia’s birthday, isn’t it?”

Livia gasped.

Mother and son exchanged a look of realization.

“This is it,” Livia whispered, hope igniting in her eyes. “This is our chance.”

“We can prepare a huge surprise for her,” Caleb said, his mind racing. “If we move her heart on her

Chapter 240 Celine’s Despair

birthday, we might get her forgiveness right then and there.”

It was the perfect opportunity to repair their shattered family ties.

Caleb immediately picked up his phone again.

He logged into his banking app and checked the balance.

“Five hundred thousand dollars,” he muttered, staring at the screen.

It was the last of his personal savings.

Originally, he had set this money aside to buy a new luxury car for Celine’s birthday.

A wave of relief washed over him.

Thank the Moon Goddess he hadn’t spent it yet.

“I’ll use this,” Caleb decided, clutching the phone. “I’m going to buy a gift so impressive that Amelia

won’t be able to refuse it.”

Meanwhile, in a **run–down apartment complex** on the edge of the city.

The air in the cramped rental unit smelled of mold and stale beer.

Inside the tiny bathroom, Celine huddled in the corner, her body trembling violently.

*Bang! Bang!*

The bathroom door shook under a barrage of heavy blows.

The flimsy lock was already loose, rattling with every impact.

Celine was covered in bruises. Her face, once pristine, was swollen and stained with tears.

She held her phone with shaking hands, scrolling desperately through her contacts.

After Caleb’s rejection, her eyes were filled with venomous spite.

She dialed a number.

“Brad,” she whispered as the call connected. “Brad, you have to help me.”

Brad was a rich heir who had once pursued her relentlessly.

But the voice on the other end was dripping with mockery.

“Help you?” Brad laughed. “Celine, look at yourself. You’re just a disfigured stray dog now.”

Celine’s fear turned into hysterical rage.

“Brad, you dare hang up on me!” she screamed into the phone. “Don’t think I don’t know about your

art 240 Celine’s Despair

dirty little secrets!”

She gripped the phone so hard her knuckles turned white.

“I was the one who brought you into this social circle!” she shrieked. “You think you can dump me

now? No way!”

*Beep. Beep. Beep.*

The call was disconnected mercilessly.

“Argh!”

Celine screamed and smashed her phone against the tiled wall.

The screen shattered, spiderwebs of glass spreading across the surface.

But a second later, she scrambled to pick it up again.

The banging on the door turned into violent kicks.

*Thud! Thud!*

“Open the damn door!” a rough voice roared from outside.

Celine sobbed in despair.

Suddenly, a notification popped up on her cracked screen.

It was a message in a large social group chat.

Someone was betting against Amelia. They seemed to be at odds with her.

Celine’s eyes narrowed.

It was like seeing a lifeline in the middle of a storm.

She quickly tapped on the user’s profile and sent a friend request.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed the justification for the request.

*I know Amelia’s weakness. If you want to win against her, accept my request.*

***

Just as the message was sent, the bathroom door gave way.

*CRASH!*

The wood splintered, and the door flew open, hanging off one hinge.

A piece of the broken door panel struck Celine on the shoulder, sending a jolt of pain through her.

Chuck Haden charged in like a mad dog.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he reeked of cheap alcohol.

“You little bitch!” he roared,

He reached down and grabbed a handful of her hair

“No! Let go!” Celine screamed, clawing at his hands

But Chuck was stronger.

He dragged her out of the bathroom, ignoring her cries of pain.

He threw her forcefully onto the filthy, sagging couch in the living room.

Dust motes danced in the dim light as Celine landed hard.

“You have so many schemes, don’t you?” Chuck spat, looming over her.

He pointed a dirty finger at her face.

“Remember when you made me hire those Rogues?” he sneered. “You wanted them to ruin that Stone girl, didn’t you? You’re just as rotten as I am.”

Celine tried to scramble backward, but the couch backed against the wall.

Chuck stared at her.

Her clothes were torn and messy, and despite the bruises, she still held a trace of her former

beauty,

His cloudy eyes darkened with a greedy, lewd light,

“Since you don’t have any money left,” Chuck grunted, leaning closer.

He pressed his heavy body down, pinning her arms to her sides.

“You’ll have to pay with your body.”

Panic exploded in Celine’s chest.

Her hand brushed against something sharp on the floor–a jagged metal piece from the broken

door lock.

She grabbed it.

With a guttural cry, she slashed it viciously across Chuck’s arm.

“Gah!” Chuck yelled as blood welled up.

But the pain only made him angrier.

He slapped the metal shard out of her hand and pinned her down with renewed force, his weight crushing her.

Celine couldn’t move.

Tears of humiliation and pure hatred streamed down her face.

She glared at the man above her, her eyes burning with a murderous fire.

She opened her mouth and let out a bloodcurdling cream.

“You dare touch me! Chuck, I am your biological daughter! I will kill you! I swear I will bite your

throat out!”
