Chapter 63

Bryant paused when he wheeled himself into Nolan's room and found him on the balcony instead. Nolan was yet to recover from the pain but he was getting better, or much better now, rather.

A smile laced up Bryant's face, grateful that his best friend made it out alive. Maybe he would've lived the rest of his life with the guilt if anything had happened to him.

Nolan who was leaning against the rail and staring into space all this time turned and smiled when he saw Bryant.

"Are you sneaking up on me, huh?" He scoffed and rolled his eyes, turning to face Bryant.

"Maybe," Bryant finally himself into the balcony and went to stay beside Nolan.

"How are you feeling now?" He asked Nolan.

"Much better than yesterday," Nolan replied, and he nodded.

Silence assumed the atmosphere as they both stared up at the beautiful stars in the sky. It was a cool yet an emotional moment for the two friends.

"Thank you for everything, Nolan," Bryant broke the silence, and Nolan scoffed.

    Chapter 64 Celine Coleman POV 'Let's get married, Bryant' A smile laced up my lips as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I didn't regret asking him to marry me because I really was in love with him. He was everything I ever wanted in a man and I would be damned if I allowed him to slip off my fingers just like that. Never! I could barely get enough sleep last night because I was busy thinking about him all through the night and I wished we slept together, but he had to pass the night with Nolan. I woke up quite early this morning and did my usual morning routine of brushing my teeth and other things, after which I left my room to go assist Madam Leila in the kitchen. According to Nolan, he didn't hire a maid here because it was meant to be a secret place and he couldn't risk letting anyone here, so apparently, Madam Leila will be the only one handling things here until further notice. Wait! Until all of this is over. The usual sweet aroma of Madam Leila's food welcomed me

You know Alpha Kayla must've had his men out there to look for us," Bryant held my hand and shook his head after I told him I needed to step out of the house briefly. "He is right, Celine. You can't wander around just like that," Nolan who was seated on Bryant's bed chipped in. I had walked in on them talking about something earlier. "It's really important and I need to go attend to it," I insisted. "Then I will have to come with you..." "No, you can't. I can handle it alone," I quickly cut him off but he scoffed. "I can't agree to that, Celine. You can't go out alone. That's like risking your life and that's the last thing I want. It's either I go with you or you stay back at home," Bryant said with finality in his voice but who said that I was going to listen to him? I needed to see Jake and maybe send him back. I can't possibly allow him to stay here, right? We were yet to s

    Chapter 66Celine Coleman POVIt felt like the whole world was against me. Having Jake here was something I never wanted and now that he was here, I had no idea how I was going to handle everything. I had many questions I wanted to ask him."Jake..." I finally paused pacing and went to sit on the bed beside him."What are you doing here? How did you know where I am?" I asked him the questions I was curious and disturbed about. This wasn't the time to be asking him those questions, I was supposed to welcome him warmly knowing that we were just meeting for the first time in five years, but then, my curiosity wouldn't let me rest."I told you I graduated from high school...""I told you that I'll handle your college. How come you are here?" I cut him off impatiently and he rolled his eyes."I just came here, can you at least let me get some rest? You are acting weird and it's making me scared. Is this still the sister that I know or is someone else disguising as you right now, Celine?" H

    Chapter 67 'Friend' Even though it had been hours since she said that word, it was still fresh in his head and the thought of it made Bryant think he was going to lose his mind. Was she so ashamed of him that she couldn't even introduce him to her brother? Is that how much of a pathetic loser he is? The thought of it made Bryant want to go crazy but he tried to keep his sanity. The sound of the footsteps behind him caught his attention and even though he didn't look back to check who had just walked into his balcony where he had been, getting fresh air, he knew that the person was Celine. "Dinner is ready, Bryant," Hearing her voice, Bryant turned his wheelchair and faced her. "Dinner is ready? Is that all you are going to say to me?" Bryant almost lost his patience and raised his voice at her, but he tried to at least remain calm for the sake of nothing. "What do you mean?" How she could still act as though nothing happened earlier made Bryant hurt even more and he huffed. Brya

It has been years and he was still like that. He would be mad at me for the rest of his life if he found out that I was dating Bryant."You can go to bed, Jake. I'll join you soon," I said to him after we had dinner and we returned to my room. I was put in a tight corner and couldn't even talk to Bryant."Hmm," He nodded his head and lay on the bed."Good night, sis," He said as he pulled the duvet to cover himself, and I briefly sighed before I made my way into the bathroom to shower and come back to bed.I spent over twenty minutes in the bathroom, and I was stunned to find Jake seated on the bed when I walked back into my room after I left the bathroom."You are still awake?" I asked him as I walked over to the closet where I p

    Chapter 69Celine Coleman POVMy heart pounded hard against my chest as I waved my hand on Jeff's face, and when I confirmed he was already asleep, I grabbed my phone and tiptoed to the door. I twisted the doorknob carefully in a way that it didn't make even a single sound, and when I was able to pull the door open silently, I made my way out of the room and closed the door back, finally releasing the breath I'd been holding unknowingly."That was close," I muttered and finally walked down the walkway that led to Bryant's room.I knocked on his door when I got to his room, and he ushered me in. I pushed the door open and peeped inside before I walked in fully. "Bryant..." I called his attention when I walked in and found him close to the window as he stared out of it, and he immediately turned his wheelchair to face me. I had expected him to frown at me or get mad at me, but he just smiled, revealing his set of perfect dentition."I thought you were not going to come. I've really mi

    Chapter 70Celine Coleman POVI couldn't help the smile that laced up my lips, waking up with Bryant sleeping peacefully by my side. I cupped his cheek in my palm and rubbed it gently, and just then, his eyelids moved until his eyes opened and he stared at me."Good morning, baby," His voice was thick as he just woke up, and I smiled at him."Good morning, my love. Did you sleep well?""Hmm, I did. What about you?" He asked as he managed to sit up on the bed. We were both naked under the duvet since we went back to sleep immediately after the session of lovemaking yesterday night."Yes, I did. I'm still a bit tired and sleepy," I rubbed my eyes sleepily."It's still early. You should get some more sleep," He uttered as he looked down at me, but even if I desperately wanted to sleep for some more time, I knew I wouldn't want Jake to find out I slept here. I needed to return to him before he found out something."No... I'll return to my room," I insisted as I reached for my robe lying

I finally got the justice I'd always looked forward to.It was a beautiful evening, and watching the sky from the balcony of my room felt so good and relaxing. The sound of the footsteps behind me and the familiar scent of Celine caught my attention, and when I turned the wheelchair to face the direction, I found her walking inside."I had no idea you were here. Why are you here alone?" She asked with concern as she walked over to me."Nothing. I just want to get fresh air. When did you get home?" I asked her because she went out earlier with her brother to have fun."I just got back," She replied to me as she leaned against the rail in front of me."What about Jeff?" I asked her, and she shrugged."Chatting with Nolan as usual. They were playing video games before I came here," She replied to me. It was crazy and annoying how Jeff had g

    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

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.

    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

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."

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?"
