"He is not yours!" She affirms with a confident and unwavering look. "Whose child is he, then?" I question, my eyes wandering to the boy with piercing blue eyes like mine. Celine narrows her eyes with her hands clenched. "He is mine!" "What about his father? Who is he?" I drop my hands lazily and watch her intensely. "That is none of your business." She says defensively. "It means he is mine and I am taking him", I conclude with a smile and walk past her to pick up the child who is already dozing off. "No, no, no!" Celine chants, blocking my way. "Please, don't take him. I beg you!" **** After realizing she was pregnant which was not part of the deal she made with Billionaire Bryan Martinez, Celine left his mansion before the end of the contract. When they meet again and he discovered the secret she was hiding from him, he decided to punish her by taking custody of the child. What will happen when the baby wants his mother close to him? Will this reunion blossom the love between them before her departure? How sweet will Bryan's revenge be for Celine?
View MoreCeline's POVI thought I was dreaming when I heard Bryan's voice and it made me flicker my eyes open in shock. I was shocked by the fact that he has my number and he is also calling me. I sit upright with a pounding heart, realizing that my sleep has vanished into thin air. Jason spends more time with Lizzy these days, giving me more time to rest and sleep all I want. I hadn't had a good sleep since I woke up this morning to help Bryan get his dress ready when I realized I was late. I found out he was already gone so I went back to my room, hoping he won't fight me for that. I haven't slept since morning and I was sleeping before he called me.With haste, I climb down from the bed, wear my shoes and walk out of the room. Bryan barely comes into my room these days to check up on Jason, I guess it's because he is very busy and he sees Jason outside with Lizzy most of the time, thereby giving me enough freedom and assurance that I can't be caught sleeping on Jason's bed.I wonder why
Bryan's POVWork was more than I expected it to be today. The deal with the Chinese investors has been successfully signed and I feel proud of myself more than anything else. I am going to own a factory soon.But I couldn't let myself sink and bask in the overwhelming feeling of my achievement today because of my guilt. I left work with a mixed feeling; I want to be happy about today's achievement and at the same time, I want to wallow in self-pity for betraying Helena.I wish she was alive to hear me out and find out the truth by herself. I wish I told her this myself. I wish I can explain what happened and what led to my unfaithfulness but she is gone, I can't explain anything to her. She will neither hear nor see me suffering. No matter how hard I am on myself and others for betraying her, nothing can be done about it. The deed has been done.I exhale deeply as I take the staircase to my bedroom. I had refused Landon the opportunity to take my briefcase from me because I want to b
Bryan's POVI groan in pain as I flutter my eyes open sharply. I look around, trying to recall what happened last night and how I got into bed. I shut my eyes and groan again before sitting up sharply and placing my feet down on the pompom rug beside my bed.I wonder why I feel pain all over me and why I feel feverish. I glance beside me and I see my bandaged hand then it clicks in my head and everything comes rushing. I remember everything; Camilla, the whole content of the alcoholic drink I gulp down my throat within five minutes, Celine and Camilla's presence, and Celine treating me before laying me on the bed to sleep after giving me a pill.I squeeze my eyes shut as I feel the agony again. My heart is contrasting in pain and betrayal. I feel lost and stupid for not confiding in Helena before she died. I should have told her the truth so she would forgive me. Now I don't know if she will ever forgive me for what I did. The guilt of what I did was what made me decide to be celib
Celine's POVAfter making sure that Jason is fast asleep, I sneak out of the room and tiptoe towards Bryan's bedroom. I am curious to know how he is doing and if he is now calm and asleep. I have been trying to put Jason to bed since but I guess his frequent naps make him sleep late these days.I had gone to Camilla's room too but it was locked. Lizzy was out with a puzzled look on her face and when she asked me what happened, I shrugged in ignorance. We stayed outside for a while with the hope that she would come out but she didn't. Out of worry, I went to the drawers where the spare keys are usually kept and I get the keys out with the help of Lizzy. We unlock the room and enter to see Camilla looking into space. She isn't crying, just staring blankly into space. We rushed to her and asked her what the problem was but she didn't answer. Lizzy left her room in anger that her grandmother wasn't saying anything but I stayed till she was able to confide in me. She told me what happene
Bryan's POV"Camilla", I yell, the moment I enter the mansion, taking long strides towards the kitchen after Landon took my briefcase away from me. There is no one in the living room as I walk past it to the kitchen. I was restless throughout the day, thinking about what Emily said and my desire to come home and talk to Camilla. I want to know everything. I want to know if Helena was hiding the fact that she is aware of my affair with Emily. Knowing this thought of mine isn't true will assure me that Helena died without knowing. Even if I didn't ask for her forgiveness, it would be better if she had no idea about it."Camilla?" I shout again at the top of my voice. Before I can enter the kitchen, she rushes out with the white apron above her neck region. She has a shocked expression on her face and I know it is because of how I shouted her name. Immediately after rounding up my last meeting, I left the office in a hurry. I couldn't wait to get home to see Camilla."Boss?" She furro
Bryan's POVWhile I step out of the elevator into the company and walk past my secretary to my office, I can feel the eyes of the employees on me as I refuse to answer any of their greetings. I am furious to see Celine out with a man right in front of my home. Can't she accord me any respect? Is he her boyfriend? So she has a boyfriend all along? I suddenly remember the man I saw with her the very day I went to get Jason from her. Is he her boyfriend? Are they staying together? Is he the same person as the one I saw today? I didn't see his face but I have a feeling he is the same person I saw her with at the party the other day.The thought of seeing her with a man is pissing me off and I want to tell her how mad I am. She is always doing one thing or the other to annoy me.I enter the office and stride to my chair. Before I can sit in to get to work since I came in late today, the door opens after a knock. Stella peeks in."Boss?"I am thinking she is here with my coffee so I utter
Celine's POVI have no idea how I got into my room until I slump onto the bed, trying to shut off the emotions seeping through me and closing my thighs together to stop the throbbing. I can't believe Bryan still has this much effect on me. I feel stupid and I scold myself mentally for not being able to hide my emotions and discomfort. I still can't believe Bryan asked me to undress him. What the hell was that for?I can't deny the fact that I am horny and I want to feel the hardness of a man beside my thighs to stop this feeling. Before I can get over my feelings, turning and tossing with closed ears and sweating profusely, I hear the knock on the door. My eyes fly open. Who is it? Is it Bryan? Isn't he going to work? Is he here to check up on Jason? I doubt if I can face him.Instead of answering the door and permitting the person to enter, I grab the pillow and bury my head in it. I don't want to see him, I won't be able to recover from this throughout today. I will just pretend t
Celine's POVDisbelief fills me up as I study his expression, trying to figure out if he is joking or serious. This is something I am supposed to laugh over if Bryan and I are on good terms but I am too shocked to react to his order of instructions.How can an adult like Bryan ask me to undress him? Even Jason doesn't allow me to do that willingly? Is Bryan serious about this?He gives me a questioning look as though he is asking me to do a normal duty that I am supposed to and I am not doing it. I stand staring blankly at him. Is Bryan seriously asking me to undress him? What the hell is this for? Is this another punishment or what? This is the dumbest punishment and order of all.He clench his jaw in anger and my heart race in fear of what will happen. I don't have enough courage to do what he is asking of me. I can't undress a fully grown-up man like him. What if I...?I squeeze my eyes shut, waving the stupid thought in my mind away."Are you deaf?" His shout jerks me out of my r
