The Villainess' Vengeance

Chapter 3: The Doctor

So, Celine has met her new doctor about her supposed treatment. Celine was having so much fun that she was giddy and happy to move from the dungeon to the place that she was supposed to stay. Maybe I will see Lucia again, Celine mused as she was looking around her new surrounding right now.

She was in the room to get settled in. It did not have much as it was minimalist kind of vibe. So Celine went to the door that was at the end of the room and it was a bathroom. She has to make sure that no one was watching her so she was swiping through the room for any hidden cameras or anything.

None, which was a relief, Celine thought before she was putting down her bag on the floor. It was nothing, just a duffel bag that contained everything that she had.

Celine dumped all her stuff, which was only her body, and she went to take a nap on the bed. It was luxurious than the ones that she was sleeping back in the dungeon. Celine shivered at the thought of ever being there. Maybe she can escape this place.

“Ms. Lebrun?” The guard called after her when Celine was tying her shoelace on my sneakers. It was yellow and she was wearing a black shirt and leggings. It was the only thing that she will be wearing for the whole time that she will be here.

They said it was to recognize which patient was for which doctor. And luckily for Simone, his color was black.

“Yes?” Celine asked him as she looked up to see who it was. It was one of the guards that have escorted her here and he nodded at Celine.

“Your doctor will see you now,” he said before he opened the door and urged Celine to go with him.

“Where are we?” she asked him as they were walking down through the long hallway as they stopped in front of the door. It was ominous but Celine thought she can manage it. Besides, what can a small room do anything to me? Celine mused before she was snickering inwardly, just to herself.

Nothing!

Celine went inside when the guard opened the door and Simone was waiting for her there. He was being cool and professional as he was sitting at the table with notes in his hand. No doubt it was my notes, Celine mused before she was walking inside the room with the guard right up her tail.

“Ah! You’re here. Please have a seat,” the young doctor said as he gestured to the seat that was in front of him. Celine was wary of Simone because he was being bold and commanding as if he belonged there.

Well, maybe he was, Celine thought before she was considering her option. Better do what he want, she concluded.

Celine went to the chair with the guard beside her before he released Celine of her handcuffs and she was rubbing her wrists. It was too tight today.

“You can fetch her in an hour,” Simone said as he nodded curtly at the guard. He went away before Simone looked at Celine as if she was a fascinating object, a mere mind that he needed to cure, which was unnecessary.

But Celine doesn’t mind him staring at her. In fact, she welcomed it willingly. Maybe I can use my allure to get what I want, Celine thought before she was hiding her smirk from the young doctor.

“So, how do you feel today?” Simone asked when he was opening a new page on the notes that he had. Celine wondered what he had read about her. Probably nothing good, Celine mused as she was looking at the focused young doctor. Her heart skipped a beat.

“Well, I felt more relaxed now that I don’t have to live in that stinky hole anymore,” Celine said honestly before she has to restrain herself to the limit that Celine cannot be so open to him. He might be using that info later for blackmail. Or worst, threat.

“Good to hear that. I heard that you also met Lucia Ricci yesterday, is that correct?” Simone asked her before his violet eyes were on her face. Celine gulped before she nodded, not trusting her voice right now.

“How is she?” He asked and instantly Celine felt jealous that he cared about Lucia even though that woman never talked to him.

“Well, she’s nice,” Celine replied as she was nodding at the young doctor that was in front of her.

“Do not interpret anything nice about her, Ms. Lebrun, or you might be caught in the deceit of her lies,” Simone said as he was being formal with her again. She rolled her eyes at Simone before scoffing loudly.

“Well, for your information, she is nice and not everything that you heard was true you know,” Celine said as she was crossing her arms, a defensive action, considering she was in front of a person that probably can read someone like a book.

But he did not know Lucia like I did, Celine reasoned before she was looking at Simone. The young doctor sighed.

Simone eyed her for a second before he shook his head and wrote something in the notes. Celine was so curious to know what it was he wrote about her. Was he impressed or maybe curious a little about me and wanted to know me better? Celine thought before she dismissed that thought altogether.

Well, he did visit her before this treatment. Isn’t that against the rule as Celine heard some of the guards talking? She did not want to think about the consequence that the young doctor might have to face if the head of the psychiatrist, Dr. Copper, hear about it.

“So, I see that you have an acquaintance with another patient. That was rather a social behavior for you,” Simone said as he put his pen down and looked at her.

“What do you mean?” Celine asked before he smirked at her. Simone was looking at her as if she was a toy to be played with.

Well, I’m not and I sure as hell will never let him do that to me, Celine thought as she was grimacing at him

Not anymore.

“It seems like you prefer to do work on your own, without any input from the colleague or friends. Also, I think you were distant with your family,” Simone said as he was reading the notes before looked at her again.

Damn that magnetic eyes, I cannot look away from him anymore, Celine cursed under her breath that she was not immune to this young doctor.

“Well, they are foster parents, not my real ones,” Celine mumbled before she looked away, breaking the eye contact. Simone was silent for a while before the guard came as it has been an hour.

As Celine was leaving the room, she heard that Simone mumbled, “At least you have them,” and she was out of his sight.

*****

Simone was rubbing his face as he did not get the information that he needed. He heard that Celine was a devil incarnate in a human body, well a sinful one at that. And she barely made an effort to seduce him.

Simone was attracted to her, no doubt and he thinks she would use that to her advantage. He can see many things that were coming from the seducing alone but she was barely looked at him in the face.

Simone felt angry somehow because her beautiful eyes were not on him.

He gritted his teeth as he was walking back to the conference before Simone saw Dr. Sean in the room, feeling frustrated with something.

“Rough night?” Simone asked him as he put his notes on the table. Simone was so tired before rubbing his neck. And the hour was barely for him to get under Celine’s skin and he thought she already under his skin.

Bloody hell!

“Yeah, well, it has to do with the method that I have been using on Lucia and it was not working as much as I thought it would be,” Sean said as he was looking at his laptop. Simone chuckled before he was at his desk as well, doing some work and replying to emails to his lawyer.

Addington stated that he wanted Simone to come home already but he told him that it was just 2 days that Simone has been gone. He can wait another 28 days. Simone sighed before he leaned back on the chair. He saw that Sean was ready to leave for the night.

“Do you want to go out?” Simone asked Sean as he was new here and he hoped that the young doctor that he adored so much would show him around, like a tour of the facility.

“Can’t. I have something urgent to do right now. Maybe another time,” Sean said as he went to the door before he waved at Simone. He waved back as Simone went to the screen of his laptop. It was barely 8 PM. He sighed before he took his bag and went to his dorm. Maybe he just sleep it off then.

He was looking around the room before Simone put the bag on the desk. It has a lot of notes and books that he was trying to learn about his new patient.

Celine Lebrun, what a fascinating name.

Simone rubbed his chest as something was aching when he was reciting those names in his mind before Simone was making his way to the bathroom. He opened the faucet before he was splashing some water to his face.

All Simone can see was the green eyes that were looking at him during the treatment. Bloody hell, I need to get laid ASAP, Simone thought before he was taking the toothbrush and started to clean himself before he hit the sack.
