Celine's POV
"I knew he was yours the moment I saw him", Camilla smile boyishly and snap her head back to look at Jason on his massive bed. I flash her a smile in return, resting my back on the sofa more comfortably. I had left Paxton's apartment after telling him my conclusion. Now that I think of it all, coming here is a great idea. I am a nanny, not Bryan's wife anymore and this will give me the chance to relate with other domestic staff. Besides, Camilla is here to keep me company and lift my bad mood whenever I am sad. The smile on Jason's face the moment I entered with my little bag was priceless. It is a smile I would love to see on his face forever.Paxton was still insisting that I stayed back and he followed me to my apartment, watched me pack, and even accompany me out. I was able to convince him that I would be fine. He hugged me."You shouldn't have left", Camilla begins and I sigh heavily."I had to. I was scared BryBryan's POVThe car comes to a stop and the driver opens the door for me to come out. I step out, stifling a yawn in tiredness and frustration of a bad day.Eric is still not providing the real statement of account for me to know where the loss is coming from. I was tempted to call father and explain things to her before punishing Eric but I know father will take his side.Left to me, I wouldn't have employed him but my father was involved. I hate mixing business with pleasure. I hate having my extended family involved in what I do. I love being in control. Eric's father has his own company and I wonder why he is not working with his father instead.I have been trying so hard to control my anger. Eric deserves to be punished, I have a feeling he knows what he is doing.I grab my briefcase and walk to the door. I am pretty exhausted, all I want to do is to take a shower and go to bed. I will think of the best solution to this problem tomorro
Celine's POVIf I were to consider Bryan's harsh behavior towards me, I would never feel any sort of sympathy towards him. He makes me feel like trash.He makes me feel like I am not wanted and my presence is not needed. If I had the power to decline this offer of being our son's nanny, I would have declined the offer just to spite him but I have no choice. I am the one in dire need, not him.I cried so hard after Camilla told me everything about Bryan and his first love. I was trying to relate everything together, I was trying to justify all of his actions towards me and I was also trying to understand him and his silence.I never knew he had been through so much. I thought he was ruthless because he wanted to but tonight, I realize he is this way because of the ugly realities of life.I accepted his proposal to marry him, even when I knew he was into the Mafia but his first love didn't want to accept that part of him.What makes us differe
Paxton's POVUnlike the last time I was here to familiarize myself with the surroundings of Bryan's mansion, there are two hefty bodyguards right outside his gate, looking mean and ready to kill at the slightest provocation.I drive the way I came and pull over at a short distance. I examine the house from afar, glancing around and looking at the rooftop. This will be a great area for a sniper to kill Bryan.The only difficulty is that I don't know if he comes around there often. He is a workaholic and I doubt if he has leisure time.I look around once more, making sure my presence is not known to the guards at the gate before leaning back in the seat, taking off the seatbelt.This is looking more than I expected, I groan.Did he find out about my disguise? Why is the security suddenly rigid both within and out? The Bryan I have been studying for more than a year, even without knowing his physical appearance has been nonchalant about securit
Celine's POVI got prepared after Paxton left in happiness. For the first time in a week since Bryan burst into my home to take my son away, I feel genuine happiness again.I believe I have every cause to be happy. I have every cause to let go of the bad vibes and wallow myself in this new happiness since I have my son close by. I don't need to be sad anymore. Jason is doing fine and Paxton and I are still close friends.Even though Bryan is a pain in the ass, I will no longer get hurt by his insults and choice of harsh words he directs at me. I already understand what is happening to him and the reason for his actions so I don't need to be mad when he insults me.I prepared Jason's dinner on time and fed him around 7 pm. We played for a while before I sang him a lullaby to lure him to sleep. Within minutes, Jason slept off and I practically raced to the bathroom to take a shower, giggling like a teenager going on her first date.I finish taking
Celine's POVIt's almost half an hour since Paxton and I arrived here and I haven't stopped grinning from ear to ear since then.It feels so good to be out, having fun after so many years of dealing with my grandmother's illness, signing a contract marriage with my boss, running away from him so he wouldn't know I was pregnant, and taking care of my son alone.I feel young again. It's been so long since I felt this overwhelming feeling and a remembrance of my age. I am just 26 years old but with Jason, I feel like an old woman.Tonight, Paxton is making me feel different. He is making me feel like a sweet 16, making me put off every bad thoughts out of my head. I don't want anything to ruin this lovely night. I don't know when a day like this will happen again.We are sitting in front of the bar, laughing, drinking, and hitting each other playfully.I laugh heartily and gulp down the whole content of my alcoholic drink. Paxton is in front of
Bryan's POVGuilt was visible in her eyes. I was so angry to have seen her here when she was supposed to be with my son, taking care of him.What is the essence of employing her if she would rather prefer going to clubs with a man?The thought makes me more annoyed and I sigh severally to control my nerves.Celine keeps annoying me every time. She keeps doing things that displease me. She keeps acting stupid and childish.How can she leave my son in the house and come out? Who the hell permitted her to come out, looking like a whore with her cheap red lipstick.When I first saw her, I thought I was imagining things until I gazed closer to take a careful look. Our eyes interlocked and I saw shock coursing through her and proving my assumptions wrong.If she had ignored me like we don't know each other, I would have concluded that she isn't Celine. I have never seen Celine in a dress like this and it makes me angrier. Sh
Bryan's POVI storm into the house in a rage. I thought my anger had dissolved as Kelvin drove me home but I am wrong as it intensifies the moment I burst into the mansion.The living room is empty as I hasten my pace towards Jason's room, after dropping my removed suit on the sofa in the living room. Emily had stripped it off me and dumped it in the car before we entered the club.I don't want to think of the disappointment I saw written all over her face and the consequences of my actions. I no longer care about what she is going to do it anymore. Helena is dead already and I have no reason to be scared that she is going to tell her one day that I cheated on her. The least she can do now is to tell my father.I grasp the door handle and push it open with full force, entering the room to see Celine in her nightwear already, curled up beside Jason who is sound asleep. She jolts upright in terror and our eyes meet. Her hair is in a messy bun and her red cheap lips
Bryan's POVThe moment I push the door open, my phone begins to ring inside my pocket. I close the door quietly behind me as I bring the phone out to see my father's name on the screen.I am just coming from the conference hall, with the executive of A&A Construction Company. I am planning a partnership with the company and we are close to signing the deal.Eric's issue has been on my mind since I woke up this morning. I am still indecisive on what to do about him. I haven't decided yet, whether to tell father or to just fire the idiot and solve this problem myself.I haven't seen him in two days and I asked my private investigator to monitor his moment. I haven't gotten any feedback yet and I am curious to know what he has found now.Father's call now is making me debate on whether to tell him everything. I take long strides to the swivel chair and slouch in before picking up the call."Father", I greet politely, ransacking my drawer fo
