Celeste

I walked around the park, looking at all the little children play in the distance.

I was trying to distract my mind to stop thinking about how cold It was.

I merely had a thin sweater and a skirt with leggings and it was freezing out here.

How was I meant to survive the night like this.

Maybe I could find a 24 hour store and just walk around in the warmth.

But I would have to walk back into the city.

I sighed. I wish I at least had some gloves.

I cupped my hands and blew into them trying to maintain them warm. It was only going to get colder with time.

I wrapped my arms around myself trying to get more warmth but It didn't seem to do much.

I looked around everybody was dressed appropriately for this weather, except me.

As I turned back to look forward I accidentally bump into a hard chest.

I look up to find myself staring into a pair of blue orbs. This man seemed familiar but where had I-

Oh my. Of course! He was Lucas Blackwell one of New York's most ruthless CEO's. I had read about him and his brothers in a magazine, and he wasn't known for his kindness.

"I'm s-so sorr-ry sir I didn't see w-where I was going" I immediately look away from his eyes not wanting to anger him.

He doesn't seem to appreciate that.

He grabs my chin roughly and makes me look at him. I gasp at the sudden action.

"Don't look away from me" he growls.

I nod my head quickly.

"What your name little one?" he asks

"Celeste" I respond softly.

A gush of air passes by and I wrap my arms tighter against myself. Mr Blackwell's expression visibly darkens as he takes notice of what I'm wearing.

"Why aren't you wearing a jacket!" he practically roars.

I flinch at his tone. Why was he so angry I wasn't wearing a jacket anyways?

He doesn't even know me.

"I don't have one s-sir" my voice comes out shakily and fearful.

His face softens at my tone. I watch as he takes off his coat and places it around me. I wrap it tighter around me with no protest.

"Are you here alone little one" he asks softly.

I nod my head. I can tell my response only angers him.

Geez bipolar much.

"why aren't you at home" he asks sternly.

I freeze. What do I tell him now?

How about the truth

I can't do that, if my father ever found out I told someone what happened he would kill me.

Tell him

I bit my lip, I'll just make something up.

You're a bad liar.

"I'm walking my dog" I blurt out.

Told ya.

He lifts a brow. I wanted to smack myself in the face. A dog really that's the best I could come up with.

I sigh "I can't go home" I say in defeat.

There really was no use in lying at this point. For one he already knew I was lying. An two I was a really bad liar.

He doesn't ask any further questions and pulls out his phone.

I don't listen wanting to be respectful After he's done he turns to me.

"Here's what we're going to do, I'm going to take you home with me, you're going to take a warm shower, and I'll give you some hot chocolate and right after that you're going to go to bed" he continues

"and tomorrow morning you're going to tell me everything, I don't want any lies is that clear. " he says sternly.

I nod my head. "Thank you sir" I tell him gratefully.

I would never imagine myself going home with a stranger. But It was strange I felt like I could trust him, I felt almost safe with him.

Lucas

The moment she looked at me I knew she was mine.

I couldn't believe I had found her. I was so happy until I looked at what she was wearing. It angered me her parents would let her go out like that.

It angered me even more that she was alone.

I wouldn't push her for questions for tonight. Right now I only cared to get her somewhere warm.

But tomorrow I wanted answers, and I was going to get them.

I should call Liam, he needs to know. But she looked tired, I sighed. I'll just call him when I get home.

He's probably at his apartment by now.

I look at Celeste, she really was beautiful, I couldn't help but admire her features.

I was taken out of my daze as I realized Tony happy pulled in.

"Evening Mr. Blackwell, young lady" he nodded towards Celeste.

She didn't respond only giving a shy smile in return.

.................

I looked at my little one her mouth was agape as I opened the door to my penthouse.

"This is where you live" she whispers in shock.

I can't help but laugh at her expression.

"It's so nice" she mutters looking around.

I smile at her. "Alright let me show you how to use the shower, I'll let you borrow some of my clothes for now, and tomorrow I'll ask my maid Linda to bring you a pair, alright?"

She nods. After showing her and giving her a pair of the smallest clothes I leave her to shower.

Now I need to call Liam, he needs to know as soon as possible. Grabbing my phone I dial him.

"Hello" he responds tiredly

"You need to come over now"

"Now?" he sighs "can't this wait til tomorrow?"

"No," I say "it can't"

"Alright just tell me what's so important"

I couldn't help but smile, I wanted him to see for himself but I knew he wouldn't come if I didn't tell him.

"I found her." there was silence on the other side of the line for a moment.

"I'll be over in five."
