Celeste stood afar and watched a few people take away her beloved grandma to put her far away from her.
So far away that she could never reach her even if she wanted to.
She stared blankly as her neighbours came forward and gave her their condolences.
She didn’t want their condolences.
She wanted her grandma back.
"Celeste dear, Let's go back. You haven’t eaten anything since yesterday. You need to take care of yourself too. Your grandma won't be
As soon as the taxi stopped in front of the hospital, Celeste opened the door and got out of the taxi. She then opened her purse and took out some money before paying the taxi driver.She then looked at the tall building standing in front of her. St. Joseph Hospital. She sighed and looked at her stomach before placing a hand on it. Smiling, she made her way inside the hospital. Meanwhile her heart was racing with anticipation. She thanked God for listening to her and giving her this little hope.She had been feeling nauseous for the past 3 days. She couldn’t stand the smell of certain foods and her period hadn’t arrived yet when it should have arrived 10 days before. Nausea, Morning sickness and late period. It could only mean only
One year later…"Celeste! Celeste! Did you email all the documents I had told you to Mr Nedda?" Helen, Celeste's current boss asked while crossing her arms on her chest. Celeste looked up from her computer and nodded with a tired expression on her face."Yes, Helen. Don't worry. I have also made sure everything is done properly" She said while putting away her laptop. Helen nodded."Thank you. They will be coming by 11 am. I hope everything goes smoothly and please inform Philip to tidy up the CEO's office once more. I don't want any mistakes." Helen said in a commanding voice and went away. Celeste sighed exhausted.
So promise me, darling, you will always take care of yourself. You won't be cruel to yourself ever and you will always let go of things that hurt you, you won't hold onto them. You need to always remember, no matter wherever I am, I will always watch over you. Celeste smiled remembering those words and looked straight into Liam's smokey grey eyes which were already staring at her intensely. "What a surprise! I didn’t expect to see you here. How are you?" She asked in her usual soft voice while smiling like finding there after more than a year didn’t bother her at all. Liam got out of his thoughts and smiled at her a bit which seemed forced but Celeste didn’t notice it at all. "Me neither. I'm fine. How have you been?" Liam asked, still looking at her. She had become more beautiful or what he couldn’t tell clearly. She had gained a little bit more weight than before. Her hair was a few inches longer than the last time he had seen her. Her skin became paler and her light blue eye
Around a month later…Celeste woke up in the morning by the continued ringing of her alarm. She then turned around and laid straight on her back as she started counting from 5 to backwards. The moment she counted 0 she hastily got up and made her bed before running straight to the washroom to take a shower.She came out wearing her office attire which consisted of plain black pencil skirts and a green sleeveless top as it was already summer. She then blow dried her hair and went out of her room. Her apartment consisted of one bedroom, one guest room, two attached washrooms, a kitchen and a small living room. When she came out of her room she found her dog Archie and Her kitten Lilly were cuddling each other Archie's small bed. She s
Liam stopped the car in front of a five star hotel and unbuckled his seatbelt while looking at Celeste. Feeling his eyes on her Celeste sighed. She also unbuckled her seatbelt and grabbed her things from the backseat. Meanwhile Liam had already gotten out of the car and came to her side before he opened the car door for her. Celeste got out of the car and fixed her hair while thanking Liam for opening the car door for her."Thank you." She said in her usual soft voice. Liam nodded."Let's go." He said and then grabbed Celeste's hand in his before pulling her with him. Celeste looked at their entwined hands and sighed. Liam handed his car keys to the gateman and then they both made their way inside the hotel.
"So Ms Rivera, tell me more about yourself and your family." Celeste looked at the direction from where the words came from and found it was Benhan Lloyd. He was smiling at her while waiting for her answer. Suddenly the room filled with a chilling aura and Liam's whole body turned cold. He silently glared at his food without eating. Celeste didn’t notice the change in Liam's expression and smiled at Benham softly before answering."Well there's nothing special about me to mention. I'm just an ordinary person who moved here 8 months ago for work and I have no one to call a family." Celeste finished with a soft smile. Benham looked at her with a sympathetic smile which Celeste hated. Meanwhile Liam sat there feeling numb. He didn’t know why, when she said she had no one to call a family pained him. It made him feel suffocated.
Hearing Celeste's words both Liam and Shawn looked towards her direction. Liam had a very cold expression on his face as he moved from where he was previously standing, on the other hand Shawn looked at Celeste with questioning eyes."Uhmm I had gone out, so I thought of bringing dinner for us." Shawn said in a nervous tone while smiling awkwardly.Hearing the word 'us' Liam clenched his hands in a fist as he glared at the floor angrily."Oh that's so nice of you. Please come in. I was about to cook dinner." Celeste said with a smile while inviting Shawn in making Liam really angry. Liam turned around and threw Celeste an angry glare which Celeste d
The next day Celeste slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times to get rid of the sleepiness."Good Morning!" Liam's deep and husky morning voice made her turn around instantly. She looked at his handsome face for a few moments. Smokey grey eyes, beautiful fair complexion, messy jet black hair, a perfect nose, high cheekbones with a sharp jaw. His every feature looked perfect to her eyes as if God had taken His sweet time to create him. His deep smokey grey eyes were completely focused on her with a smile. After a while, Celeste smiled back and snuggled into his chest before she greeted him back."Good morning." She whispered in her usual sweet voice which made Liam's heart feel warm. He slowly wrapped his arms around her and pu
