I'M Princess.

13. Still Like Before.

***Mansion Family Audison***

Cella still saw the intense outstretched hand of Mr. Mark Audison that was before her. Cella did not want to welcome the hand of her stepfather.

The atmosphere became a little awkward and gripping. Mama Cella, who was standing next to Cella, was uncomfortable with the situation.

"Cella, honey.be polite, not that kind to an older person." Greet her mother subtly.

Ms. Audison still clearly remembered that Cella did not like her second husband very much. They've never been close, and Cella's been away from them for years. Not closing the possibility for both still looks stiff.

Cella is aware that her attitude is not good towards older people, but she remembers if Mr. Audison wants her back just to be sold and made a guarantee to pay off Audison's family debts.

"My news is very good, Mr. Audison." Reply Cella while welcoming Mr. Audison's hand.

They shake each other for a moment, as Cella quickly pulls back her hand. He felt disgusted to shake the dirty hand that his stepfather had.

While Mr. Audison felt that Cella never considered herself good. Does he care? Of course not, Mr. Audison just wants to take advantage of the arrival of his stepdaughter, to save his company that is on the verge of bankruptcy and also save his biological daughter, who is, so as not to fall for an old CEO who became his biggest colleague besides Sean Hamilton.

Still stuck in Mr. Audison's memory, if he had so much debt because of the company's misguided financial problems. The old jacka CEO who was so infatuated with his daughter Hana, of course Mr. Audison did not want to give up Hana just to pay her debt.

While the debt to Sean Hamilton, the handsome and rich man Kingdom was balking Hana who wanted to be given to him as collateral. The successful man even asked Cella as collateral for the debt. Until this moment Mr. Audison did not understand the intent of Sean Hamilton who wanted Cella.

Mr. Audison had to agree, so that everything would go smoothly. His debt to the old CEO company will be paid off as well as his daughter Hana can escape the snares of the old man. For Mr. Audison it was already good enough.

He will find another way to make Sean Hamilton his son-in-law, he will use all the means so that Sean Hamilton and his daughter Hana can be together. That's the promise of Mr Audison to Hana who loves so much Sean Hamilton who is always haughty and cold untouched by anyone?

"Ma. He must have been tired from a long journey." Said Mr. Audison while sitting on a single sofa.

"Well pa.." Reply lady Audison obeyed her husband's orders.

Cella looked at her mother who was very obedient to her husband, her mother did not change much in terms of attitude. Cella doesn't like it.

"Master. Is there nothing you're gonna talk to me about?" Suddenly Cella asked, because she did not want to hold back any longer the problem she had this morning.

While Mr. Audison who does not know at all the meeting of Cella and Sean Hamilton. Frowning did not understand what Cella meant?

"What do you mean?" Asked back, Mr. Audison stared intensely at Cella.

Cella draws and exhales slowly, trying to regulate her breathing.

"I've met Sean Hamilton. What do you mean by a collateral contract stating if I am your guarantee to pay off all your company's debts." Tell Cella without covering anything.

Mrs Audison was quite surprised by what Cella said, because she actually did not know about the contract agreement intended by Cella.

Mr. Audison knows where Cella's talking is going, she's quiet enough to handle everything.

"I'm sorry papa Cella.." Said Mr. Audison softly, but disconnected from Cella's refusal which was enough to shock them.

"You're not my father." Cella's quick and unequivocal reply to reject what Mr. Audison said.

Mr. Audison is still trying to calm down, he just wants to use his innocent wife to melt Cella's heart and stubbornness. Mr. Audison knows that Cella can't see her real mama being tormented or in trouble.

"I'm sorry if it bothers you." His words are still calm.

"What does this mean? What contract? what bail?" Now it's Ms. Audison's turn to express her opinion.

The two people involved in the feud looked towards Madame Audison. Cella saw the mother was very surprised, it means her mother did not know anything about the guarantee contract made by her husband.

Mr. Audison got up from his seat, and stepped closer to his wife. The old man hugged his wife while putting on a sad and sorry face.

"I'm sorry ma.Papa has no other way. Our company is in serious trouble and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Only Mr. Sean Hamilton can help us, and he's applying for that bail contract. Mr. Sean Hamilton himself immediately asked Cella as his guarantee. It's not my dad who determines it. Papa initially wants to propose Hana as his bail, but Mr. Sean is unwilling. Papa there's no other choice, please understand." Audison explained at length what happened.

Of course he keeps it a secret, if he also wants to save Hana from the old CEO of Bangka who wants Hana to be his 4th wife.

Cella quite understands Mr. Audison's explanation, it's certainly not easy for Cella to believe everything that Mr. Audison said.

"Papa is also not willing and sad because Cella will be a victim here. But please papa, to save our company, this is for the sake of our son Celo. If the company goes bankrupt and goes missing, Celo has nothing in the future." Persuade Mr. Audison to seduce the wife who is very easy to persuade with seduction.

Lady Audison fell silent and tried to digest what her husband said. What her husband said was the truth. If the company that was the sole search for the Audison family disappeared, what would happen to their lives in the future. Mrs Audison agreed and supported the husband which she thought was reasonable. Without him thinking about the fate of the princess who made their victims.

"Darling.I'm sorry mom and dad.Please help us, we have no other choice. At least think of your innocent sister Celo." Persuade Miss Audison while tightly grasping Cella's hands.

Cella was silent. He was trapped, whether he could refuse the mother he loved and cared so much for. Can Cella see the mother go into prison like the threat Sean said to her.

"Mama.mama willing to see me become a victim of their greed." said Cella in a sad tone. He never thought that his mother was the one who hurt him. But Cella could not reply or hurt like her other enemies.

Tears just fell on the white cheek of the mother, in fact she was on two difficult choices. Among his eldest daughter and his little son. Both of them he could not ignore just like that, but Cella who was considered an adult could understand their circumstances.

"I'm sorry, dear mom. Mama is guilty and always puts you in trouble mama, forgive mama…!!" Madam Audison cried until she lowered her head.

Cella knows if her mother's choice is really heavy at the moment, how Cella responds. It felt like he was the one who bought Audison's company to be in his control. But he can't just do it.

Suddenly, Cella recalled the words of Mr. Audison who said, if Sean Hamilton was the one who chose himself as the guarantee of the contract.

'Did Sean Hamilton have any other plans to choose me? Does he want to take revenge on me for his heartache first, or does he just want to play me?' Cella murmured in her heart, so many questions and conjectures about Sean Hamilton.

'All right, if this is what you want Sean Hamilton to be. I follow your game, I want to see where you can play me. I'll prove that Princess Johanes is not an indiscriminate woman who can be oppressed all you want.' Mumbled again.

"Just…!!" Call the mama while shaking the body of Cella who is still focused on her own thoughts.

"Yes ma…?!" Reply to Cella with a weak-sounding tone.

"If you don't want to, don't do it. Mama doesn't want you to be in trouble, son.." Mama said softly.

Lady Audison is a mother who loves her children very much. I cannot see all my children suffer.

While Mr. Audison held the turmoil in his heart, listening to the wife's lethargy attitude so that Cella did not do what he did not want.

Cella looked into her eyes deeply.

"Has Mama and Celo been happy all this time?" Suddenly Cella asked.

"I..Yes of course.." Anxious lady Audison answered for getting such a question.

"Mama is happy, and Celo is happy too. So mommy hopes you're happy too." Miss Audison's words covered both of Cella's cheeks.

Cella held her mother's palms back. Then saying.

"Cella will do, what can make you safe and happy." Cella's reply pressed down on her every word, but her eyes were sharp on the Audison master who was behind the mother.

Mr. Audison stared coldly and sharply at Cella, because he knew the glare of Cella's eyes was so sharp it was full of unusual aura.

"Is it really like that, son…?" Ask your mom not to believe it.

"Yes." Yeah." Nod Cella allows.

"Thank you, my mom loves you so much." Reply to Miss Audison while hugging Cella's warm and affectionate body. He was so lucky to have a daughter who always and can understand his family.

Cella permeates the warm embrace and dear to the mother that she has not felt for a long time. It's still as warm as before.

"Well then, mom take you to the room now." Madam Audison said after releasing their embrace.

"No ma...Wait a minute, I agreed to do the guarantee contract on one condition." He said with a look towards the madam and lord Audison in turn.

Madam and Mr. Audison looked at each other, they were astonished at the negotiations conducted by Cella. What exactly does Cella want?
