Chapter 78"Can you talk to me, please?" Celine cupped his cheek in her palm while trying to convince him to say something, but he wasn't even looking at her.As much as he didn't want to be like this in front of her, he couldn't help himself. This was the most important day of his life. Knowing her was the best thing that had ever happened to him, falling in love with her was the second best thing that had ever happened to him, and now that he was supposed to be a man and mate her, he was going to stay in bed helplessly. "Are you ok, Bryant? Please talk to me," Again, Celine spoke to him softly."I'm sorry for being like this... I'm just... I'm just..." He was finding the right words to say, but she shut him up with a kiss."Don't let anything bother you. I'm here for you," She whispered, and he managed to nod his head.Celine leaned forward and claimed his lips again...*****The early morning sunlight penetrated Celine's eyes as she tried to open her eyes, but she closed them back.
Chapter 79Celine Coleman POV"You look nervous. Are you ok?" Bryant held my hand, and I glanced at him and bit my bottom lip. It was my first day at work, and we were just on our way to the company, but I was nervous. What if they end up saying that I wasn't qualified for the job but just got it because I was the Luna? I wasn't supposed to be worried about that, but I couldn't help myself."Hmm. I'm fine," I forced a smile at him, but I knew Bryant so well that no way he was ever going to be convinced."You don't look fine. You look..." He paused and scanned me briefly with his eyes before he continued, "You look nervous," He finally stated, and my heart missed a beat. I sulked my lip inside and swallowed nothing."Why are you nervous?" He asked as he rubbed my hand gently, but I just shook my head."Nothing. I'm fine," I replied to him again, and he sighed."You don't have to be nervous, my lady. Just consider here a random place you are going to be working, ok?" He assured me, and I
Chapter 80Celine Coleman POVI thought it was going to be hard for me on my first day at work, but I was glad it wasn't. I was just done sorting out the files that were sent to my mail earlier and the next thing was lunch break. Just when I was about to go inform Bryant that I was going for a lunch break, the office phone started to ring and I quickly answered it."Good day, this is Ms...""Ms. Celine Reed. Come inside, please," A smile formed on my lips when I heard Bryant's voice. I dropped the phone and went to his office to meet him."I've missed you so much, you know?" He pouted his lips as he wheeled himself to me, and I rolled my eyes."It's lunchtime, and I was about to go for lunch before you called, Sir. Do you need anything, Sir?" I tried to sound professional even though he was talking as my husband now."Ugh! You are so unbelievable. Come on, we are alone here," He pouted his lips and whined."I just want to have some time with my lady, is that too hard to ask for? Why a
Chapter 81Celine Coleman POVIt was a long day for me being my first day at work, but I was glad I could pull through. It was finally time for me to go home.Bryant walked into my office right about the time I was packing things up."Are you ready to go, my lady?" He asked, and I nodded."Yes, I am. I want to stop by the mall to get something. You might have to go home before me," I replied to him as I finally packed up everything and hung my bag on my shoulder."You must be very tired after a long day here. I would tell the maid to get it for you later. Come on, let's go home," He insisted, and I didn't want to argue with him, so I nodded."You might have to drive me home, babe. The driver is not yet here," He uttered, and I nodded."Shall we?" I asked as I went to stand behind him, and he nodded. I held the handles of the wheelchair and pushed it gently out of the office. I wanted to tell him to go ahead first while I joined him later, but I didn't want to make him feel bad.We took
Chapter 82"Miles... I want him fired from the company immediately," Bryant said to Nolan who had just walked inside his office. It was another beautiful day, but Bryant wasn't finding anything beautiful knowing that a man was hitting on his woman in the company. Of course, he trusted Celine so much and knew she would never look at another man because she was loyal, but this was just so fucking annoying that he felt like killing that bastard right away."Why do you want him fired?" Nolan asked confusingly as he sat on the chair across from Bryant."That bastard keeps flirting with Celine at every given opportunity. He even dared to call her on the phone yesterday. Can you imagine that?" Bryant fumed and clenched his fingers."Don't you trust Celine? Do you think she would fall for that?" Nolan asked as he raised one of his eyebrows, earning a glance from Bryant."Of course, I trust her. It's just that I'm not comfortable with him being around her," Bryant said honestly."I know how it
Chapter 83"You again?" Celine scoffed when he looked at the person and realized that it was Miles. Was he following her? She asked herself, but quickly discarded the thought and stepped away from him."I'm sorry, Ms. I didn't mean to. Let me help you clean it," Miles quickly apologized as he reached for a handkerchief from his pocket and offered to clean her body with it."Don't touch me," As much as Celine tried not to sound rude, her tone came out harsh."I really didn't mean it. I'm sorry," He apologized to her again, and she rolled her eyes."It's fine," She replied to him casually."You are standing in my way," She further said, and he briefly sighed."I can get you a change of clothes if you want, Ms. I really didn't mean it," Again, he apologized."You've said that like a million times already, and I told you it's fine. Can you leave my way?" She tried to be polite this time even as she was already irritated deep inside her."Hmm," He finally stepped away from her, and she roll
Chapter 84Celine Coleman POVMy day in the office was boring and I didn't need anyone to tell me that it was because Bryant was not in the office.I was finally off work, excited that I would get home early enough and see Bryant.As I strode down the walkway that led to the elevator, my phone started to ring and I stopped to check who the caller was. I knotted my eyebrows confusingly when I saw the unfamiliar number displayed on my phone screen."Who is this?" I mumbled since I was not used to answering calls from strangers. I ignored the call and proceeded to the elevator. I pressed the elevator button, throwing it open slowly, and I stepped inside.My phone beeped as I waited for the elevator to close, and I checked it tiredly.'It's me, Jake. I need your help' My eyes narrowed when I saw the text, and I immediately dialed the number. Luckily, he picked up on the first ring."Jake, dear... Are you ok? Did something happen? Where are you?" I asked him worriedly, afraid that something
Chapter 85Celine Coleman POV'He is owing us fifty thousand dollars, and we are not going to let him off if he doesn't pay' They had said to me when I asked the reason why they did that to my brother. They were going to kill him if I had not shown up there to help him. They didn't allow me to take him away even when he was bleeding, until Mr. Miles settled the bill.Mr. Miles took Jake out of the casino and his car. He drove us to the hospital afterward.We arrived at the hospital at past 9pm, and Jake was admitted immediately."You need to wait here, Ms. We'll take it from here," One of the nurses said to me when I tried to go into the ward with them, so I waited outside with Mr. Miles."You need to calm down, Ms," Mr. Miles said to me, and I nodded."You should sit down and get some rest. Do you need something? How about a bottle of water?" He asked me, but I just buried my face between my palms."I'll be back," He uttered, followed by his receding footsteps. He was gone for five
