“What’s the meaning of this?” she asked in confusion.“Why do you have my underwear?” she looked intently at Daniel expecting him to panic but she only saw calmness.What is happening?Daniel took a deep breath and walked towards the tall book shelf behind the desk.“Someone took it from you, I just took it back” he then placed a folder full of her photos in provocative positions.Celine didn’t know how to respond.“It’s not what you think”“What do you think I think?” Daniel calmly asked back.“I was assaulted that day. His name was Enrique” she started recalling everything that happened at the party.How Enrique approached her and how he mentioned having a meeting with Daniel. How he suspected that she is Anne Yates.There’s no point in hiding it now from Daniel.When she finished her story, she was already snu

Aunt Marge immediately understood her dilemma.“You need to let him know. Or it may be too late” the older lady squeezed her hand for comfort.After a few more exchanges, she finally felt comfortable with Aunt Marge.No wonder Daniel and Sylvia has only kind words for her.She could easily put anyone at ease without the fear of being judged.They were still enjoying their chat when Daniel called again.“Are you still with the insurance agent? I can pick you up if you’re held up”“No need. I’ll be back in 30 minutes” she said then ended their call.Aunt Marge is watching her reaction the whole time and she saw how Celine’s cheeks blushed while listening to Daniel’s voice.The way her eyes sparkled when something silly comes from the other end.She also noticed how Celine carefully ordered snacks which were Daniel’s favourite.Now she understands what Oscar meant earlier in the office when he said ‘they both needed a push’.“You can tell him how you really feel, Celine. Pain is more bea

When they reached the resort, Celine could not prevent the inevitable. They ended up staying-in the whole afternoon and when they finished, she could not move a muscle.A lot of things have happened between them in the past few weeks, but it seemed none of it mattered when their bodies had a language on its own.They were in synched as soon as the doors were closed, and no words were needed to be spoken.Their bodies knew what they needed, and the mind just indulged in the pleasure.“D”“Shhhhhh” Daniel immediately cut her off.“Let’s not think of anything right now” he pulled her closer and just closed their eyes.For the first time in his years of existence, he felt free.Free of obligations.Free from being a Stevenson.Free from being Roland Yates’ apprentice.He just wants to be a man who longed to be with his woman.And the serenity that encapsulates them was so overwhelming he didn’t notice a drop of tear escaped from his eyes.And as soon as he realized it’s enormity, it was g

The next day, she woke up before Daniel and her smile slowly crept up her face. There are times when she looks at him, as if she’s seeing him for the first time, and her heart would skip a beat. But most of the times, she sees him as a familiar face that gives comfort and warmth to her heart. She always thought she had to choose between the Daniel who sweeps her off her feet and the Daniel who would always catch her when she falls. But she knew in her heart, she needed both. She’s lucky Daniel is everything she ever needed in every stage of her life.“Are you sure you’re not in love with me?” she saw Daniel opened his eyes with a soft smile.“I was about to wake you up, you overslept. You promised to go to the cave” she demanded expressing her usual attitude.She turned around to hide her blush and let a gentle smile register across her face.Daniel did not waste any second and before she knew it, they were already trekking the inside of the jungle towards the secret cave.“Daniel, I

Daniel is at his wit’s end.It’s been two hours since he dispatched ten of his bodyguards to search five possible locations but not one has found her. He was sure she was at the university, but the bodyguard said no trace of her. The waiting lasted for hours and hours and Daniel found himself staring at their blow-up photo in the living room. Based on Aaron’s warning, she has consumed a lot of alcohol. That is enough reason for him to be agitated. Add that to the threats Minerva and Clint have been sending ever since the reading of the second part of the will.He could not believe he couldn’t find her.Not wanting to leave her safety at the hands of his bodyguards, he drove to the university himself. He could risk accepting Celine’s outbursts as long as he could ensure her safety. He could think of other ways to find her should she really makes good with her threat.Having ordered Oscar to meet him at the university, his frown grew deeper looking at the old man flashing his light “H
