All Chapters of YES I DO?: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

PAUL Reyes had gone to his boss' office one Monday morning. He had just got off the phone with Celine, his daughter and she had reminded him that her fees were due and yet to be paid. Paul was broke at the moment, he had been that way ever since his wife's burial and could barely managed to make ends meet. Celine understood her father's situation and also tried by taking part time jobs to also help keep the family standing, after all it was just her and her father in this world of distracted humans.Paul went to his boss' office to ask for a salary raise and possibly an advance. He had worked with the company for a decade now and he had never asked for a raise. So he was pretty sure he was going to get his raise even though his instincts told him his boss was going to ask for something in return.Paul's boss was an elderly man, around eighty five years of age and was still fit as a fiddle.Mr Smith had life going for him, owning a multinational company and having so many sources of

Celine had gotten a call from her dad early in the morning. He asked her to come home that he had an important discussion that he wanted to have with her. She had gotten home that evening and met her father sitting in the living room, his palm placed under his chin. He was so deep in thoughts that he didn't notice his daughter come in."Dad? I said good evening!" Celine repeated herself seeing as her father didn't hear her the first time."I'm sorry my dear, I have a lot on my mind. Please take a sit" Celine sat directly opposite her father. She was confused as to what would make her father thinking so hard."So Celine, you know i have taken loans in the past to be able to make ends meet and also pay for your tuition?" She nodded in response and her father continued. "Most of those loan sharks are on my neck. I also have to pay tuition for your sophomore year too."Celine sighed and her father gave a slight smile and continued. "I went to my boss to ask for a raise and possibly a sa

Celine had given her conversation with her father a lot of thought. It wasn't making any sense to her. She was a firm believer in love marriages. Arranged marriages weren't her thing and her father of people knew that. The offer Mr Smith had made was very mouth watering...but sacrificing the rest of her life to be with some stranger in exchange for a comfortable life sounded like a good deal at the same time sounded like a really bad decision to make.She knew that if it were up to her father, he would have married her off immediately. She was grateful that he considered her feelings at least. She couldn't imagine if her father had given her no other option than to get married to the billionaire's grandson. She needed to talk to someone about it. She was usually busy trying to make ends meet so she had literally no friends. Well, except Zack her boyfriend, most times she wondered why he was with her. She brought absolutely nothing to the table, she was young and broke. She had big dre

Early the next morning, Celine is making breakfast when her father comes out of room fully dressed for work. "But dad, you need to rest" She said with a look of disapproval. "Working is like weakening your immune system the more."Paul sighed, he didn't think this far. If he doesn't go to work it's going to make Mr Smith wonder if something was wrong. He should have told his boss of his plan before hand."I won't go after today. I just need to let them no at the office that I'll be taking a leave due to health issues" He told Celine. He couldn't think of other reasons that'll convince her to let him go except this one. "Alright dad" Celine shrugged " but at least have breakfast before you go, and also I have something to tell you" Paul sat at the table to enjoy the breakfast of pancakes and hot chocolate.Celine sat opposite her father too and watched him eat. Her emotions were like a rollercoaster as she watched him. He was the most important person in her life and she wasn't r

Mr Smith had called Xavier into his room that afternoon, he felt like he needed to have a heart to heart conversation with him before he met Celine. Mr Smith was willing to let Xavier in on the little he knew about Celine."Wait! You mean it's not Maria you want me to marry?" Xavier had said in shock.Maria had been his friends since they were kids, they grew up together and basically did everything together. Party, drink and the likes. One the night of his 20th birthday she was also there and was like some sort of comfort to him during that period.Xavier knew his grandfather was good friends with Maria's family, so had thought in his head that he was going to get married to Maria, after all she was from a respectable family and also belonged to the high society."You want me to get married to your employee's daughter?" Xavier asked his grandfather. Some times he wondered what went on in the elderly man's head."Sit"Xavier who was on his fit before sat back down to listen to wha
