Chapter 97Three days laterCeline Coleman POVI couldn't be more excited that I didn't end up in the street. Who knows what would've happened if I had not found the place? Maybe I would really have ended up on the street. After I went to check out the house, I had this feeling that the rent would be expensive, but I was stunned when Claire told me the amount. I liked the house, and I could finally move in now.I carefully arranged my clothes inside my suitcase and when I was sure that I had packed everything, I left the hotel room and headed to the reception where I dropped the keys and finally left the hotel.I stood at the side of the road minutes after I left the hotel, waiting for a cab which didn't take much time before I got one."Shantel estate," I said to the cab man."Fifty bucks," He said to me, and I nodded."Open your trunk, please. I need to keep this there," I said to him, referring to my suitcase. He pressed a button in his car and the trunk opened. I helped my bag in

Chapter 98"You need to comport yourself, Bryant. No matter what Miles says to you later, you can't get angry... Don't do something stupid," Nolan said to Bryant for the umpteenth time."You've said that like a million times already. There is no need to repeat yourself," Bryant rolled his eyes as he looked out of the car window. After a series of research, Nolan was finally able to get Miles's address, and they were parked in front of his house, waiting for him. They'd been there for over thirty minutes and yet Miles was not home yet."Are you sure he is coming home today?" Nolan asked after another ten minutes passed and there was still no sign of Miles."We need to wait for him," Bryant insisted, and Nolan knew at that moment that he didn't have a choice but to wait up for Miles.Seconds ticked into minutes, and another fifteen minutes passed before they finally spotted Miles's car approaching the gate. The slowed down just before it got to the closed gate as Bryant's car was alread

Chapter 99Celine Coleman POVI tried to hold back my tears as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, but it was really hard to do. I didn't come this far to get a divorce, I didn't stick around Bryant all this while just to end up getting separated from him, but what could I do when this seemed to be our fate?The sound of the knock on my door caught my attention, followed by Claire's voice."Ms. Celine... Can I come inside?" She asked from outside, and I quickly wiped my tears and cleared my throat."Ms. Celine... Are you there?" She knocked again."Hmm... Come in," The door opened almost immediately, and she stuck her head inside with that usual big and happy smile on her face. She finally walked inside."Are you going somewhere?" She asked as she stared at me from head to my toes, and back to my face, wearing a confused expression on her face."Hmm... I need to step out briefly. I'll be back shortly," I replied to her, and she pouted her lips."I wanted us to have dinner togethe

Chapter 100Celine Coleman POV"Can you please, come back?" He pleaded sincerely, and it broke me to see him in so much pain."You don't trust me, Bryant... You don't trust me enough to think that I could never betray you..." Slowly, I shook my head, unable to hold back my tears."I was foolish... I shouldn't have thought about that... I shouldn't have made assumptions, but you would do the same if you were in my shoes... Anyone would do...""No... I would never do that. I'm not judging you, but I would never do something like that to the person I claim to love..." I shook my head and rose to my feet."Look at me, Celine... I can't do anything for myself. I have to crawl to the bathroom. I don't have legs. The only thing that helps me are my hands..." He paused and scoffed."When I want to make love to you, you always take the lead on the bed. I can't even do my responsibility as a man. I can't take a walk with you... I can't even tour the pack with you the way I always wanted to!" He

Chapter 101Celine Coleman POVAfter Bryant was done eating, I cleared the table and did the dishes."Are you going to pass the night here?" He asked me after I took him to his room, and I bit my bottom lip.For the next few minutes, I tried to think of something to say to him. I had no idea how I was going to explain to him, but I knew that I really had to find a way to tell him. I couldn't just leave Claire at home alone. It won't be nice of me."Uhm... Bryant... The thing is..." I paused then held his hand and squatted in front of him."You know, I told you I have been living with a friend of mine, and she's a teenager. She can't stay at home alone, and I already promised her that I would be home tonight," I cupped his cheek in my palms and tried to convince him, but the expression on his face showed that he wasn't happy with that, and not that I had expected him to be, anyway."I will come over tomorrow, I promise. I'm going to make it up to you," I further said, and he sighed."C

Chapter 102Celine Coleman POVThe sound of my ringing phone pulled me out of my deep slumber, and I groaned tiredly as I sat up on the bed. A smile formed on my lips when I checked the caller and found out that it was Bryant."Good morning, babe," His deep voice sounded from the other end, and my cheeks flushed."Good morning, darling. Did you sleep well?" I asked him, and he hummed."Yes, I did. What about you?" He replied to me and asked again."Yes, I did,""What are you up to this morning?" I asked him even though I already knew he would be going to the office."Nothing... I'm just going to stay back at home. I took some time off work and at the castle too. I think I need some time alone, so I'm just going to stay back here," He replied to me, and I briefly sighed."Alright. Don't worry, I'll be there before you know it, ok?" "Hmm... Why don't we make it a date, hmm? Maybe we should go out on a date tonight. I'll make a reservation at the restaurant," He said to me, and I smiled

Chapter 103Celine Coleman POV"I need to be somewhere. I'll come home later," I said to Claire when she came to my office so we could go home together after work."Are you going to stay long there? You know I would be alone at home if you did," She pouted her lips and whined, and I rolled my eyes."I won't be long before I come home," I replied to her."You need to promise me that you won't. You told me you were not going to stay long the other day, and you ended up spending hours there," She blinked her eyes cutely at me, and I smiled at her. This girl was supposed to be a high schooler or a college student. Why did her Mom ask her to look after this place? She was childish, but trust me, I loved that about her. I never had a chance to be like this with my sibling since we grew up apart, and having her around made me feel like I was recollecting my childhood with my sibling."I'll be back early this time," I assured her."I promise," I further said, and she smiled at me."Let's have

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

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."
