Hi dear readers, thank you for your support! Happy reading!
Jefferson's POV Celina is really persistent. I didn't want her to go but I was sure that she'd insist, so I had to agree with her so she wouldn't get mad at me. I contacted Noli and asked for help and referred to me a good bodyguard that could look after her when she leaves. Although I asked him not to show up in front of her because she would only get mad and would only think that it was only a waste of money. I am going to be very busy in the company because I am having a hard time trusting people again, after Noris and a few board members did that to the company. Having someone to look after Celina wherever she goes will put me at ease, so I'd rather spend it even if it was so much so that I could work properly. "Sir, Ma'am Celina is in the company now," Lester, the bodyguard, reported. "Thank you, just be careful not to show yourself and let her know that you are watching over her. I didn't want her to get mad at me, OK?" "Copy that Sir," he replied, and we ended the call an
Jefferson's Celina was still sleeping, our baby is fine and I hope that this will make her feel a little better. What had happened to her was very traumatic and I wouldn't blame her if she became hysterical when she woke up, so I had to be with her when that happened. The man who did that to her was now in police custody and dad was the one who was taking care of the case. I don't know who he was, but according to the police, he had some cases of swindling, fraud, rape and murder. He will surely rot in jail and I will make sure of that. I looked at Celina again and smiled. She looked like our daughter. I've got two girls to woo for the rest of my life. I caressed her head and rubbed her arm when she suddenly opened her eyes, very slowly. "Hey, my Celina," I said in my most loving tone. I want her to feel that she's safe because I am here. Her tears started to fall when she saw me and my heart broke, "Our baby, Jefferson. Where's our baby." She said hysterically when she felt her
Celina's POV Jefferson was at my side all the time I felt down. Our daughter remained healthy after what I went through and I thank God for that. I felt humiliated and violated. However, being able to be with my husband and our baby helped me recover more quickly than my psychologist thought. My doctor was very supportive and careful every time she tried to make me say something about that incident. She said that in time, I will be able to smile and laugh wholeheartedly, especially now that the culprit is in jail paying for his crime. Afterward, my husband explained what had happened, and I was thankful that he cared so much about me. I thanked him for having someone to look after me when he was not around. I know it was because he is wealthy that he could do such a thing and I feel lucky about that. I guess having money is not that terrible after all. I used to think having too much was an exaggeration of the way we live. For me, it was enough that there was food on my table and a r
Jefferson's POV "Marry her and you will have all my shares in the company," Dad told me. I was furious. He knew I had a girlfriend and yet he wanted me to marry someone else. Ever since, Dad has never bothered himself with me. He always said he trusted my decisions and would never meddle in my personal affairs. Now, here he is, singing different tunes. "If I did not agree?" I asked him. I knew that he had no choice but to hand me the company. It's not because I'm his only son, but because I know that he knew that I was capable. "Then I am going to offer it to Noris." Shocking was an understatement. How could he? Is he willing to give his shares to that b****** just to marry that woman, whoever she is? "You've got to be kidding me. You knew he'd grabbed the opportunity at once. " I told him. "Yes, that's why I am offering it to you first, because I already knew the answer I would be getting from him." He answered. I didn't want you to tell me. After that, I didn't let you know abo
Celina's POV"You have no say in this. You have to marry Jefferson Scotts, " Daniel said."Give me one big reason to agree with this," I told him. I was keeping my cool and tried not to lash out at him. He is my adoptive father. When I was in the orphanage, I longed to have someone who'd take me away from there.When he and his wife Lalaine took me, I thought I was the happiest person in the world. As it turned out, there's nothing to be happy about. They are the worst. At a very young age, they exploited me. They made me their maid without a salary.I had to force them to allow me to study on the condition that I'd do them a favor in return. I guess they are using it now against me."You owe us your diploma. We agreed that when the time comes, you would do us a favor," Daniel said. I looked at him and chuckled."You're doing this to me? It's the marriage we were talking about. The rest of my life. It was already hell living with you and yet you wanted the rest of my life in a marriage
Third Person's POV Celina went to Clandestine. As she entered the restaurant, a waitress stopped her. "Excuse me, but this part of the restaurant is off-limits," the waitress told her. Celina nodded, and told the waitress that she had a reservation. "Reservation under Mr. John Scott," Celina said, and the waitress glared at her. She rolled her eyes at the waitress when she realized that she was being criticized, and she didn't like it a bit. "If you are going to look down on me, you better look at yourself first. Remember what you are here for," she said, and the waitress ushered her to a private room after feeling embarrassed by what Celina had said. As she entered the room, she found Jefferson in a suit. His face hardened and darkened while waiting, and Celina smiled internally as she thought that she had made him wait. Jefferson looked at her and didn't say a word, so she just sat opposite him. "You're late," he said. "I am not applying for the job, so I don't need to be punctu
Jefferson's POV Mine and Celina's wedding was announced, and everyone in the company knew about it as they were all invited. They wanted to know who Mrs. Scott was and how she was. Is she pretty, smart? From which family did she come from? They were expecting my future wife to be the most elegant bride because I was the groom. The well-known most sought after bachelor and one of the wealthiest too. Thinking she was chosen by her dad, who was very strict and known to be very meticulous when it comes to work, they expected her to come from a prominent family. But I know where she came from and the word prominent was not in her family's vocabulary. Dad knew that I wouldn't agree to this, so he made a great bargain of using the company and gave me no choice but to marry and deal with this woman who thought highly of herself. It made me furious thinking dad had set aside everything I had done for the company for him to just freely give it away to Noris and that woman. Ever since I was a
Third Person's POV The wedding had ended, and everyone was satisfied, especially John. If Celina and Jefferson just acted, John would not have noticed anything either. He was busy with the guests when they were at the reception. He was occupied by nonstop greetings and best wishes for the newlyweds and an overwhelming number of gifts from everyone who had all left the ceremony happily, except Noris. In the mansion, the newlyweds were in their room trying to rest when one of the maids knocked on their door. Celina was looking at them when Jefferson opened the door for her. "Sir, Sir Noris is outside. He was drunk and was breaking everything. He was calling you out. " The maid informed him. He looked at Celina, who was waiting for him to say anything. "I'll be back; stay here." Jefferson told Celina, who just nodded. She was curious why Noris was making a scene. She knew him, and she was shocked earlier when she found out that they were brothers. Noris was her friend, and he had no
