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

Chapter 86Celine Coleman POV"You should go home, Mr. Miles. I'll stay with him," I said to Mr. Miles."Don't worry. It's fine," He assured me, and I slowly nodded. I couldn't be happier when the doctor revealed to me earlier that Jake was going to be fine. According to the doctor, he just needed a few hours of rest, and he would come around.As I sat along the walkway, I buried my face between my palms as many thoughts paraded my mind. Bryant must be really worried about me, and I could not even reach him. Just then, something crossed my mind, so I rose to my feet and turned to Miles."Mr. Miles... Is there anywhere I can use a public telephone here? I need to call my husband. He must be worried about me," I said to him, and he seemed to think about it for a while before he nodded."Yes. I think at the reception. I don't know how possible it's going to be, but maybe it'll work," He suggested, and I quickly took off to the reception without wasting another second."Excuse me, please,

Chapter 87Bryant's eyes burnt with rage as he stared at Miles. His heart wrenched painfully, and slowly, he gritted his teeth tightly until it was starting to hurt, but still, the pain was nothing compared to the one he was feeling in his heart. He had been worried about her all day yesterday and here she was with another man?"Babe... I was just about to call you," Celine uttered as she walked over to him. She tried to touch him, but quickly retracted her hand after he gave her a murderous glare."Get me out of here," Bryant said to Nolan, as he stared at Celine. He felt betrayed, fooled, and used. How could she do something like this to him when he trusted her so much with everything in him?"Why are you leaving, babe? Jake got into...""Don't say anything to me, Celine..." His tone was laced with pain, anger, and betrayal as he looked away from her. It felt like a dagger was thrust deep into his heart. His chest contracted so tightly that he could barely breathe, but no way he was

Chapter 88Celine Coleman POV"Call me if you need anything. I need to go to the office," Mr. Miles said to me before he finally left the hospital, leaving me with Jake. As I walked back to the ward where Jake was, my phone started ringing and I stopped to answer it. I checked the caller and saw that it was Nolan. I quickly swiped the answer button."Hey, Nolan,""Bryant is alone at his mansion. You should go meet him there," Nolan's voice sounded from the other end, but I didn't know if I was ready to face Bryant. Of course, I knew that I was wrong for not reaching out to him and it was entirely not my fault. I was disappointed that he just left and didn't even hear me out. He didn't even bother to know what was wrong with me and why I was in the hospital. "Hmm. I'll do that," Regardless, I replied to Nolan and the call finally disconnected. I breathed out and held my phone firmly in my hand. Even though I was disappointed and mad at him, I couldn't deny that I was worried about hi

Chapter 112EpilogueAs Celine sat on the edge of the bed, staring at a picture frame of her family which had her Mom, Claire, Jake, Bryant, and herself in it, she couldn't help but smile excitedly. This was the kind of family she had always prayed for. The kind of life she had always prayed to her maker for. Being with her family and getting married to a loving man. She couldn't be more than glad that her prayers were all answered.The bathroom door opened, and Bryant wheeled himself into the room. He had a white towel wrapped around his waist and his body dripping wet. He had just showered. He paused and smiled when he saw his beautiful wife seated on the bed."Is the baby kicking you?" He asked with a sweet smile on his face, and Celine looked from the picture to him."Not really... I'm just admiring us here... We look so good together," She looked at him and smiled."Right from the day I set my eyes on you, I knew we were going to look perfect together," He uttered as he wheeled h

Chapter 111A few days laterCeline Coleman POVI stood on the balcony of Bryant's room and stared up into space. A lot has happened over the last one week since I met my mom after many years. Even though I wasn't so mad at her, I couldn't still bring myself to forgive and accept her back into my life. Not after everything we had passed through without her here. Jake met her also, but he wasn't ready to forgive her, just as I am. I spoke with Bryant about Jake over the week and he had forgiven him for everything he had done. I asked Jake to move in with us, but he said he had something to take care of before that, so I had to respect his decision."It's cold out here... You should go back inside," I heard Bryant's voice, and I turned to find him seated in his wheelchair. He was wearing pajamas, probably ready to go to bed. "Hmm... Just getting fresh air. Will go back inside soon," I replied to him, and he wheeled himself to me. "Babe..." He held my hand and squeezed it gently."I w

Chapter 110Celine ColemanToo many thoughts paraded my mind as the cab I boarded drove down the road, heading to Claire's apartment. I knew something was wrong somewhere because she didn't sound fine, but I could only find out about it if I went to her house, yeah? As much as I wanted to stay calm, my curiosity was eating me up every damn second and I ended up being tensed.It felt like the drive was slow even though it wasn't. I was desperate to get home early and meet her Mom. I was desperate to see her and finally know who she was."Can you drive faster, please?" I urged the driver when he slowed down the cab."There is a heavy traffic jam ahead," He replied to me, and I couldn't help but feel frustrated. Not today, please."Calm down, Celine. She's not running away. You will meet her even if you go there late," My subconscious mind reminded me, but it was just difficult to listen.We ended up spending fifteen minutes in the traffic jam before we were able to get out of it.

Chapter 109Celine Coleman POVIt was finally morning and the day Claire had told me her Mom would be back.The aroma coming from the kitchen welcomed me as I descended the staircase after I left my room. My mouth salivated and my stomach grumbled hungrily, so I left for the kitchen."You are awake? I didn't want to wake you up. Good morning. Did you sleep well?" She looked at me and smiled."Good morning. Yes, I did. What about you?" I pulled the refrigerator open and brought out a bottle of water."I did," She replied to me."What are you making?" I asked as I uncapped the bottle and drank some water from it."Breakfast. It's a surprise. Trust the process," She winked at me, and I smiled."So, have you called your mom yet? What time is she coming back?" I asked curiously after I put back the bottle inside the refrigerator."Are you so desperate to move out?" She asked sadly, but I shook my head."Far from that... I'm just concerned," I shrugged, leaning against the counter."I was j

Chapter 108Celine Coleman POV"Are you feeling sick? Do you need to go to the hospital?" I asked Claire after I pulled the car over at the parking lot in her apartment, but she slowly shook her head. We were supposed to go for a walk after work, but she was so dull that we only did it briefly and she asked us to come home instead. She couldn't even drive, so I had to do it myself."I'm fine. I just need to get some rest, and I'll be fine then," She replied to me as she removed her seatbelt, pushed the door open, and stepped out of the car. I did the same and alighted from the car too.I watched as she dragged herself toward the entrance, and by the time I got to the living room after she walked inside, I found her already seated on the couch. She looked like she had worked her ass off all day and was going to die anytime soon."Do you need anything? Should I get you a glass of water?" I went to sit beside her on the couch and held her hand."No," She replied to me, and I briefly sigh

Chapter 107Celine Coleman POV'I don't think I'm ready to be a father... I'm scared, Celine. I don't know if I'll be able to' Those words replayed in my head for the umpteenth time as I sat behind my desk in my office. I have been trying to concentrate all day since I came to the office, but my head has been messed up and I haven't been able to think straight. A part of me was disappointed when he said that, but another part of me tried to understand him. "It's not something to be mad about, Celine. You can help him overcome it," I said to myself and breathed in and out before I resumed work.The office telephone started to ring and I picked it up."Hello! This is...""Come to my office, Ms. Celine," Claire said from the other end, and the call disconnected immediately.I dropped the phone, stood up, and proceeded to her office to hear her out."You asked to see me, ma'am," I said to her politely, and she rolled her eyes."I told you to drop the formality. You can talk to me casuall

Chapter 106Celine Coleman POVI rubbed my stomach gently, unable to hold back my smile as the cabby drove down the road. It was still hard to believe that I was pregnant. The thought of it made me feel like I was on top of the world. It just felt so good."We are here, ma'am," The cabby's voice pulled me back to reality, and that was when the realization dawned on me that he was already parked in front of Bryant's house."Thank you," I muttered as I pushed the car door open and stepped out of the car. I paid him and he zoomed off.As I stood in front of the house, I held my handbag tightly and bit my bottom lip. A part of me was eager to tell Bryant about the good news, but another part of me wanted me to wait. Bryant would ask me to move in immediately if he found out about the pregnancy now, and I still needed three days to do my confirmation before I leave Claire's house."Just three days... Just three days, and you'll tell him. You have to keep it for now," I said to myself and t

Chapter 105Celine Coleman POV'The doctor will be with you shortly. He is busy' One of the nurses had said to me earlier when I just arrived at the hospital, and here I was for the past thirty minutes, still waiting for the doctor. I was almost losing it, but I tried to understand the nature of their job and be patient. Maybe there were too many patients to attend to today.I touched my forehead for the umpteenth time and winced silently as waves of pain spurred through me. What could've caused this overnight? I asked myself, but there wasn't any answer I could provide for it, so I had to wait for the doctor.My phone started to ring, and Bryant's name was displayed on the screen. I swiped the answer button."Hey, babe," His calm, deep, yet soothing voice came through the phone, and I smiled."Hey,""I'm sorry I'm just calling you now. I woke up quite late. Did you sleep well?""It's fine, I understand. And yes, I slept well," I replied to him."Are you coming over today?" He asked."

Chapter 104Celine Coleman POV"Are you seeing someone?" Claire said out of the blue moon, and I choked on my food and started coughing."Why are you choking? I only asked a question," She clicked her tongue as she handed me a glass of water, and I drank from it."How did you know that?" I looked at her and asked, but her face beamed with smiles instead."Are you really seeing someone? Who is he? Is he cute? I like cute guys, so, is he cute?" She bombarded me with questions as she looked at me, desperate for answers."Ugh! You are so..." I paused and shook my head, not knowing what to say."Come on, tell me everything. Who is he?" She asked me, and I rolled my eyes. "He's just a random guy... Yeah, just someone I met some time ago," I replied to her, and she raised her eyebrows. I felt guilty for lying to her, but I couldn't just start telling her everything when I didn't even know what they were after, right?"Has it been long since you two have been together?" She asked again, and
