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 89Celine Coleman POVJake stared at me disgustingly like he could kill me at that moment. "You got mated to that crippled bastard...""I wouldn't have you insult my husband, Jake. You need to show him some respect," I snapped at him, and he huffed as he threw his head back."You are really defending him, Celine? You are under his spell, right?" He scoffed and bit his lip as he blinked his eyes a few times."Jake...""Fine... You have to choose between the two of us, Celine," He cut me off, and my jaw dropped to the ground as I stared at him wordlessly."Ja... Jake...""You want to be with him... So why not go to him? Let's cease being siblings," He further said, and my heart sank into my stomach. Tears brimmed in my eyes as I stared at him. I wanted to try to at least talk him out of it, but knowing that I would only be wasting my time because he would never listen to me, then I didn't see any reason to try to talk him out of it."Let's pretend we are not siblings... If we e
Chapter 90Celine Coleman POVI sat on one of the couches in the living room, and buried my face between my palms. It was hard to stop my tears no matter how hard I tried to. This was difficult to handle, losing my brother was making me go crazy, but then, I couldn't leave my husband because he wanted me to, right?Again, I glanced at Bryant whose eyes were still closed. I managed to get him to the living room even though it was almost impossible to move him.I sniffled, then reached for my phone and scrolled through it. I still have Mr. Miles's number, so I dialed it. He picked up on the first ring."I've been worried sick about you. Have you gotten home now?" His worried voice sounded from the other end, and I briefly sighed."Hmm. I'm home now," I replied to him, and I heard him sigh in relief."That's a relief. Have you showered yet? Have you gotten something to eat?" He asked, but the truth is, I haven't had time for that yet."Yes, I have. My husband already made something by th
Chapter 91"What! You are going to get divorced?" Nolan almost freaked out when he heard the news. It was hard to believe because it didn't make any sense. They recently got mated for goodness sake, so what was this about getting a divorce?"Talk to the lawyer. I need the papers ready within twenty-four hours," Bryant didn't seem to care about Nolan's concern even though deep inside him, he didn't want this to happen. He was so in love with Celine that he didn't want to let go, but what was he supposed to do now?"You can't be serious about this, Bryant... You just recently did your mating ceremony. How can you think of divorcing her?" Nolan tried to reserve his respect for Bryant even though he was already losing it."Why should I not divorce her? Give me a reason why I should not...""Because she loves you genuinely, and you know it... She has been by your side, she risked her life for you, not once or twice, and she has been with you even in the toughest moment of your life... Are
Chapter 92Celine Coleman POVAfter I left Bryant's house, I couldn't count how many missed calls I'd gotten from Mr. Nathan, Nolan, Madam Leila, and of course, Bryant wasn't exempted from it, but I never answered any of their calls because I didn't have plans of going back to Bryant. He didn't deserve me.I didn't have much money on me after I refunded Mr. Miles the money he spent that night that Jake got into trouble, and the one he spent at the hospital. Although he asked me not to refund, but I insisted. I didn't want to owe him anything although I still owed him for doing me a favor of saving my brother and helping me take him to the hospital. I stayed at the hotel to clear my head and think of what to do next, but even after three days, I couldn't still think about anything and I was already running out of time. My money would soon expire here, and I would have to move out then. I might end up in the street after because I didn't have anywhere else to go, but at least I needed
Chapter 93Celine Coleman POV"Mr. Miles?" I called surprisingly, and he smiled at me."You are welcome, Ms. Celine. We meet again," He smiled at me, but nothing was funny so there was no reason to smile at him. Was he stalking me?"What are you doing here?" I asked him confusingly as I walked to stand across from him, and he shrugged."I'm the manager here," He replied to me as he shrugged again, but it didn't make any sense to me, so I could only scoff."What do you mean you are...""I work as a manager here. It's a long story. Why are you here, by the way?" He asked me after he dismissed my question, but I wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily. I needed to know who he was, and why he seemed to be following me around. Did he submit my details to these people? I wanted to give that a thought, but it didn't make any sense considering that he didn't have my CV."You submitted your documents to him back in Bryant's company," My subconscious mind reminded me, and I knotted my ey
