Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 1 - Bab 10

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 kne

Celeste wore a red halter dress that exposed her fair shoulders and arms. She was seated at a table amidst some men, casually chatting with them. So far, she had won all the games, and the chips in front of her piled high.With an air of indifference, Damon noticed that his marks on her had faded. It seemed that her skin's ability to heal was exceptional."Mr. Bishop!" The surrounding men all stood and greeted Damon respectfully. Only Celeste remained seated and acted as though he was a stranger.Damon sat down in an empty chair, but he didn't participate in the card game. He watched coldly as Celeste cheated in every round, her expression never shifting once.The men at the table were either rich, powerful, or both. Still, they didn't get mad when a beauty like Celeste won their money. It felt like they were simply humoring her. They continued to play from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. By the end of the night, Celeste had more than a million dollars worth of chips."Won't you

"Since you know that I've cut off my relationship with the York family, I hope you won't disturb my peace anymore, Madam Kissinger." Celeste smirked as she ended the call.By the time she returned home, it was already the next afternoon.Unsurprisingly, Shannon was there blocking the way to the door.Frowning, she went straight to the point and asked, "Celeste, what exactly do you want?"She didn't bother to keep the customary elegance that she used with others."You know what I'm doing. I'm simply taking back what's mine." Celeste regarded Shannon flatly. "Go away. It doesn't do well to just stand there like a traffic cone.""Taking back what's yours? You've already cut off your relationship with Father. What does the York family have that's yours anymore?" Shannon's tone was ruthless. "I'm warning you. Don't keep hanging around Damon. He's now my fiancé.""Your fiancé? What a joke. I still have the marriage agreement Mr. Bishop Senior wrote. How did Damon become your fiancé n

"Let go of me. I'm not in the mood," said Celeste.She realized what Damon was up to only after he pressed her into the couch and started undoing her buttons.What a pervert.She was aware of what she currently looked like, even without checking a mirror.Yet, he somehow still wanted to sleep with her.As Celeste complained to herself, she started struggling violently."You keep showing up in front of me. And this time, it's during such an incident, too. Am I not doing what you wanted?" Damon chuckled coldly.He clasped her hands behind her and then laid himself atop her.It seemed that he had misunderstood. Damon assumed Celeste had arranged this whole thing so that he could be her knight in shining armor. Furthermore, he thought that her motive was to get closer to him.Celeste couldn't take the effort to explain herself and once again put on her signature smile."Yes. How else could I provoke your protective instincts if I didn't put myself in a more pitiful state?" Ce

The next day, Damon was frowning as he read Celeste's report from her visit to the gynecologist.It said, "Patient has suffered a tear. The wound is about an inch long and is mildly infected."It seemed Damon found it impossible to control himself when it came to Celeste. He had always portrayed a chilly image to the public, unwilling to display his emotions easily. But with Celeste, it was like she flipped the switch and turned him into a beast.She made him go into a frenzy and lose his self-control. With her, he showed his natural self and became who he truly was.He recalled how he'd pressed her into the couch in that private room at the club.Damon felt his heart sink when he thought about her smile and the sad look in her eyes. He had been too disrespectful to her. He vowed to write her another check the next time he saw her.The sound of his phone ringing broke him out of his thoughts. It was Jasper calling. "Wow, Damon. You just got started, and you did it three times
