Chapter 1 I Want You to Marry Me

Author: Marion Ewe
In the Regalia Hotel's presidential suite, Celeste York looked at the sleeping man in front of her. For a moment, she couldn't bring herself to react.

Her body ached, and hickeys were scattered across her neck and chest. The clothes and condoms that littered the floor told her what she needed to know.

She had slept with him.

Celeste held back the feeling of discomfort and climbed past the man on the bed to get to the bathroom.

After a quick shower, she changed into her clothes. She even grabbed a box of cigarettes from the man's pant pocket and lit one for herself.

Through the smoke, she quietly watched as the sated man slept.

Damon Bishop was 26 years old and the eldest son of the Bishop family, which owned the country's largest financial group.

On top of that, his face could rival top male celebrities in the industry. He was noble and good-looking, cool and unobtainable.

His name represented influence and high status throughout Taverdale and the whole country.

Celeste knew the consequences she would face after getting involved with such a man. But she couldn't just sit by and watch him marry Shannon York, Hannah Kissinger's daughter, next month. She couldn't allow Hannah and Shannon to get what they wanted.

By the time she got to her third cigarette, Damon woke up.

He saw Celeste amidst the smoke as she sat there in her red dress. He felt disoriented.

"How much do you want?" he asked as he got out of bed. He grabbed his checkbook and pen from his bag.

He could still feel the lingering thrill from last night's amazing experience. The bloody spots on the sheets made things clear.

He would give her any sum she wanted, as long as it wasn't an outrageous amount.

As Celeste waited for Damon to wake up, countless excuses came to her mind. But as she met his sharp gaze, she could only put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

She put on a bright smile and said, "I don't want money. I want you to marry me, Mr. Bishop."

"What?" Damon laughed as though he had heard the world's greatest joke. "Who do you think you are? You're only worth slightly more than a prostitute."

Last night, while he was drunk, Celeste had brought him water while dressed as a staff member.

She had helped him shed his coat, placed it in the wardrobe, and then took off the rest of his clothes one by one.

Damon had always stayed away from the temptations of women. But when she threw herself at him last night, he couldn't resist.

He admitted that Celeste had a pure and seductive face, and her looks matched his tastes.

But she wore a fake smile that never quite reached her eyes, and her scheming ambitions disgusted him. She knew who he was and had taken advantage of him while he was drunk to get something out of him.

Damon's insulting words would've humiliated any other woman, but Celeste remained unaffected.

Her dazzling smile stayed on her face, and she felt neither sad nor embarrassed. Ever since Hannah and Sharon caused her mother's death, nothing could affect her.

Waving the phone in her hand, Celeste said, "I recorded what happened last night. Although I was the one who initiated it, you forcefully took me several times after that, Mr. Bishop."

"If this gets out, I'm afraid it would affect Bishop Group's stocks," she continued.

"You would have to first get out of here alive to release that footage," said Damon, who was no stranger to the law.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Celeste, he tossed his checkbook aside.

He then took his box of cigarettes from her and lit one for himself. "Don't forget, I could crush you like a bug."

What Damon hated most in life was being threatened. And since she dared to threaten him this way, she must've had a death wish.

    He never would have imagined that the intelligent and aloof Celeste would have a day like this, appearing adorably naive and innocent.Damon used to like girls who were delicate and pure, but that changed when he met Celeste.She had a face full of charm and allure, but her expression and personality were always cold and unyielding. She was pale and slim, yet not childlike. On the contrary, she resembled a young poplar tree, proud and upright.Because of her, he began to like girls who sparked his desire to conquer, and he scoffed at those who were simply weak and shy.But now with Celeste like this, he didn't feel annoyed. In fact, not only was he not annoyed, he actually found it cute and interesting.“What's your name?” she asked again."Damon.""Oh, that sounds really nice."The initial confusion in her eyes was gone, replaced by a sparkling glimmer, and her tone carried a touch of a young girl's excitement."You are actually my husband… Wow, great job, me! I've managed to

    "What? Aren’t you my husband? Do I still need to avoid you while changing clothes?" The confusion in Celeste's eyes didn’t seem fake.Damon was speechless and didn't know how to respond at that moment.When Damon didn't respond, Celeste suddenly felt a bit nervous."I'm sorry… I can't remember clearly. Aren't you my husband?"Damon raised an eyebrow casually and asked, "Why do you think I am?"Celeste innocently blinked, her eyelashes fluttering like fans. "The nurse said it. Besides, if you're not my husband, why would you sleep with me at night?""What did the nurse say?" Her reasoning was actually logical and undeniable. For a moment, Damon found it somewhat amusing."The nurse said that my husband is really thoughtful," Celeste responded seriously. Then she asked, "Aren't you my husband? Then why would you be willing to stay here with me so late?"This one sentence left Damon speechless.The reason he was willing was because he was a coward. He said that he didn't care abo

    Damon frowned upon hearing the classic amnesiac questions being asked."Celeste, are you trying to act out a TV drama?"Celeste still looked at him blankly. "What do you mean?"Damon didn't answer and went straight to the director's office to get Nicholas.Knowing her, she wasn't the type to joke around, especially not with Leo still missing. She must have hit her head hard.Nicholas was equally surprised and hurried back to the room with Damon.Celeste was sitting up, hugging her knees and staring into space."You're awake? How do you feel?" Nicholas asked with a smile as he entered."Why am I here?" Her voice sounded hesitant, and she turned to look at them.Her confusion seemed genuine. Nicholas and Damon exchanged worried glances."Celeste… you don't remember?""Celeste?" She asked, "Is that my name?""Yes.""I don't remember. My mind is blank.""Do you remember… Leo?" Nicholas hesitated. After all, if she knew that her child had been missing for three days, he was wo

    "Alright," Celeste said in a deep voice. "Let me see Leo first."They pushed open the hidden door, revealing a staircase leading to the basement."Have Leo come to the stairway corner." She stood at the dark staircase and negotiated with the kidnapper."Mommy!" Suddenly, Leo's desperate cry echoed from inside."Leo!" Celeste ditched everything else and rushed down the stairs.She ran ahead, and as soon as she reached the corner, there was a loud explosion, and a wave of heat hit her face."Celeste!""Celeste!"Damon and Winston's faces changed drastically, shouting in alarm.The basement was empty. It was a trap.Had they been more careful, they would have noticed that both the kidnapper’s voice and Leo’s cry were artificially synthesized. But Celeste, in her desperation to save her son, had been too frantic to discern this.The basement was rigged with landmines. Unfortunately, something went wrong. The mine exploded when Celeste reached the stairway corner, instead of when

    What? Damon was also coming? Celeste felt her heart leap, and her voice became sharper as she said, "I can handle this. You can't come!"There was no response from his end.Observing Damon’s silence, Celeste quickly softened her tone. "Damon, listen to me. I can handle this alone. There's no need for you to get involved… because I'm their main target, and they likely won't harm Leo. You need to stay home and wait for him. You need to take care of him later on…""Celeste," Damon interrupted coldly. "Are you planning on not coming out alive?"Of course, coming out alive would be ideal, but she couldn’t guarantee that."Damon, I do have a chance of surviving, but when it comes to exchanging myself for Leo, there can be no room for error. We must follow the kidnapper's instructions to ensure Leo's safety."It was out of the question to provide a false sense of security and pretend to comply with the kidnapper, only to backtrack and get Leo killed.She needed to ensure Leo’s safety a

    They checked all the surveillance footage near the Bishop residence and investigated every suspicious vehicle. They also had people keeping an eye on Henry, but after half a day, there was still no breakthrough.The kidnappers had taken Leo to threaten Celeste, and the lack of communication was meant to unnerve her. If it was according to predictions, she was supposed to wait for their demands. But, as a mother, she couldn't just sit and do nothing.Celeste remembered that Shannon had called her, so she found her contact in the blacklist and called."Shannon, did you and Henry kidnap Leo?" she demanded.Shannon laughed coldly. "Don't accuse us without any evidence. Your son is missing? Maybe it's karma. Hahaha!"Celeste hung up, unable to stand Shannon's smugness.Several teams searched for over 20 hours, even involving the police, but still had no solid leads. Celeste suspected Henry, but they couldn't just arrest him without any proof.She was extremely desperate. She didn't e
