Bianca's tears soothe his infuriation, he hastens to her with his emotions eating him up. “Will you stop hurting yourself? Would you one day let go of the horrendous past and move on?” Lucas raised one eyebrow and leans on the wall. His forehead wrinkled as he stares, waiting for a response or probably a breathing competition.Bianca was hanging her head, muttering some words to herself. Lucas grabs her arm as soon as she drags her heavy feet.She sniffles turning around to gaze at the hook pulling her backward. Her eyes were filled with tears, she couldn't turn around to look him in the eye. Her lips quake.“I tried….I tried to let go but….m…. my past keeps haunting me. I can't be heartsease after discovering that pervert is euphoric after inflicting my whole existence.”“How can I be elated when I'm not sure of Celine's biological father? I'm faint-hearted about conducting a desoxyribonucleic acid test (DNA). Have a great look at this, I could be David!!” Bianca stares at a spot, h
Lucas brings the call to an end with a frightful smile plastered on his face. The evil grin plastered on his face made him look shivery. Lucas slides out his pistol “Finally, it's time to make use of this weapon after a long wait and patience, She would be mine in no time. It's time to execute my initial plans.” Lucas. He firmly clenches his pistol, his glance flickered as his footsteps became silent.He ultimately sighted her out of the corner of his eye.“Dad, do you think mum is cheating? Or she's just having a break from us?” Celine reported, she swung her restless gaze to his gun. “Where did you get this toy? it appears to be genuine!”Celine asked, giggling. His crudely insulting stare got her frightened, his smile spreads from ear to ear, and he points the gun at Celine. “Get down!” Lucas ordered. Her goofy eyes scanned around “It's just you in this room, dad!”“Who are you yelling at, Dad?” Celine maintains her goofy eyes.“Damn! Are you this dumb? Don't you understand the
“Sweetheart, if you love me you would help Celine” Emily raised her voice with a straight face. Her angry gaze sliced at Jones.Jone's eyes pop out, and he nudges Emily“Babe, how could you believe Celine? She's filled with deceit and probably lying about everything. I know her plans, she wants to murder people and use your pure hands to clean the blood stains so she could go scot-free.” Jones let out, poisoning Emily's naive mind. Emily heaved a sigh, looking into Jone's eyes “If she wants to use me, I'm available. I'm that friend that is available in need” Lucas shrugs his shoulders.“You don't learn from your mistakes, don't you? After everything's over, you will come by for help.” Jones boasts, chinning up. “Emily, come over here. I think I found something.” Celine's voice echoed from Bianca's room. Emily walked out of Jones, following Celine's high-pitched voice.“You are gullible…fool” Jones yells. Emily paid a deaf ear to Jon
The trucks halt, properly parked before an eight-story building company. “What the heck! Didn't I ask for a hundred beds? You are all fired!” A husky voice ordered. The truck driver starts to plead for another chance. The man tucks his hand in his pocket, he was in a black suit and he has a handsome look even with a frown on. Celine tucks out her head to sight what the commotion was all about.Immediately she exposed her head, the man glimpsed her. “Hey! Hey! What are you doing on my bed?” The man yelled. He crossed his eyes in exasperation.A man walked out of the building, he chins up walking closer to the trucks. He appears to be Henry, but something about him was different.“Don, what are you doing here? We have a conference meeting to attend.” A man uttered.“Dad, these men aren't competent for the job. They couldn't heed a simple instruction and now there are some beggars on our products.” Don complains.“Who did you just call a beggar? My mum can buy your company and yourself.
“I'm Celine.” She babbled. Henry dissatisfactory plowed his brows. He moves his lips to utter a statement, and Emily cuts in.“I'm Emily, your soon-to-be daughter-in-law. I promise to take good care of Don in the future.” Emily meekly bows, sliding her hair behind her ear with a disarming smile.Henry chuckles “Nice to meet you guys. You look exactly like her, Celine. I would like it if you would come for dinner with your parents at my place.” His eyes devoured Celine, his astute gaze was fixed on her.“Sir?” Emily's eyes bulge with fright. Her lips pressed together, eliminating the broadened smile that was plastered on her face.“Her parents went missing.” She blurted out. Out of jealousy? She throws a glance at Celine's elliptical eyes with heavy lids.“Really?” Don yawns with his gaze fixed on his smartphone. “You don't need to pretend that you care about her folks, the media agencies are absent, dad.”Henry nudges Don with his elbow.“I don't need your fake sympathy. My parents a
They walked into the hotel. “What's the best and most expensive room you've got?” Celine asks, stretching a blank cheque to the receptionist. The receptionist eyeballs out, she drops a key labeled with room 205. “There are two best rooms here, a lady is in the other best room 204. 205 is available at the moment”“Thanks…did any lady perhaps lodge in this hotel?” Celine whispers.“Yeah, lot of them.”“Does anyone goes by the name Bianca or Williams?” Celine questions.“Im sorry, Ma'am. They are over a hundred Biancas and Williams lodged in this hotel. ”“Ugh…you are of no use.” Celine grunts, she snatched her blank cheque and poured some dollar notes. “Just lead me to room 205” “Take an elevator to the third floor and you would find your room.”The receptionist said, counting the dollar notes poured on the table.Celine and Emily walk near the elevator. They sighted some men in black gait out of the elevator. Emily allows them to leave before entering, Celine shoulder meets with a m
The door opens, and she felt a rising tide of tears from her head to toe, her visage behold a female, her mother, Bianca, lying on the ground. Celine started breathing heavily after feeling the spine-twisting terror, the gun fell off her hand. She screamed at the top of her lungs “Mum!” she ran towards Bianca. Her heart palpitated seeing her mother on the ground. Reality seems to be a crazy nightmare for Celine. Celine fell to her knees, she shook her expecting a response. “Mum, what the hell are you doing here? Get up, let's get out of here. Let's go home” Bianca was stiff, and Celine trembled to hug Bianca.Celine's face became purple and bloodshot. “Mum?” Celine vigorously moves her. Celine paused, her instinct made fear envelop her. Bianca's heart was not beating and she was cold as ice.“No! You can't do this to me, mum. You cant” Celine cries. Crunching hits her ears from outside the room, accelerating the already rampant pounding of Celi
Celine recollects Oscar discussing having her in his custody so the contract could be valid. Exposing her initial identity would create great havoc.“Are you her maid?” Henry questioned with a tight-lipped smile.“Maid…yes…I used to be her maid” Celine nods quickly. She presses her lips with a huffy smile “Wait till my mum gets better, we would teach you and your spoilt son a lesson.” “Um! Phew! That's great! You look so much like her that I almost guessed you were her daughter.” Henry chuckles, he quitted when he noticed his jokes only brought a frown to her face.“Well, I'm heading to my special hideout. I'm a good guy and you can trust me.” Henry winks at her.The men in black didn't run after them, instead, they watched their hostage go scot-free Henry was so bothered at Bianca's well-being, he couldn't keep his gaze focused on the road. It's been years since he set his eyes on her and glancing at her in a bad con
Henry ran to a doctor his eyes met “Hi, how is my son, Erickson? I heard he got into an accident and he needed a blood donor.” Henry questioned, he cared less about arresting Hannah.“Oh, you mean the patient in ward 103. His partner regained consciousness with bruises but he's still unconscious, he loved so much blood and urgently need a blood donor.” The doctor explained.“Then what are you waiting for? What about the blood bank?” Henry asked hastily. Bianca watched the cops take Hannah. She, later on, remembered her children, and she ran to Celine's ward.“Frankly, there is a higher percentage that the blood bank might not be able to deliver on time. It might be too late when they arrive.” Tue doctor explained.“I can't lose my son. No! I just can't!” he lamented holding his head, tears flowing from his eyes as he stares at the doctor.“Aren't you his father?” The doctor questioned. “I am!” Henry said almost screaming. He knew the next option was to carry out some tests on his bloo
“Shh…I know you love me more.” Erickson said like he read her mind. Celine shrugged with a frown. “Will you stop making this weird?” Erickson grabs her arm tightly. He moved closer to her and his eyes met hers. With a smirk, he leaned closer. Celine jolts, she tried to walk away but his tight grip on her arm stopped her. Erickson was only making things hard for her, he was trying to confess his feelings but since Celine wasn't willing to listen to his confessions, he thought he had to force it on her.His grip on her arm becomes tighter and he didn't notice the pain he's inflicting on her. “I love you too” Celine confessed with tears streaming down her chin. She thought she could hide those feelings but not anymore.Her heart ceased for a second, she wanted to run away from her feelings and then Erickson embraced her from behind.He let go of her arm with a grin, finally fulfilling his wish. “Let's run away!” Erickson confessed with tears dropping from his eyes.Unknown to them, the
It was getting dark“I will drive us home, besides mum must be damn worried,” Celine announced.Henry let out a chuckle, laughing with eyes “I wouldn't want to end up in an accident, love.” Celine darted a feigned glare at him.“You can't force me, your highness.” A blush appeared on her face, she hopped in the car with a wide smile, the smile she had never had. Her life feels complete with her family whole and healthy but she didn't think of the evil lurking in a corner. Henry drove, they were only stealing glances at each other in silence.“Dad, do you treasure every moment we share just like I do?” Celine broke the silence.“Uh… that's not a question, love. I treasure every second I set my eyes on you. I regret the fact that I didn't see you grow up.” “Those three days we spent tomorrow felt like 20 years, Dad. You don't have to be sorry.” Celine chimed.The vehicle halts at his mansion. They alighted with a smile. Don crinkled his nose when he sighted Celine, he got disgusted
Helen stood in front of the open wardrobe, her hands trembling as she pulled out clothes and shoved them into a suitcase. Tears streamed down her face, and her chest heaved with sobs."How could you do this to me, Henry?" she screamed. "How could you have a child with another woman?"Henry stood behind her, his hands in his pockets, looking crestfallen."Helen, I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to hurt you. It was a mistake, a one-night stand, I swear.""A mistake?" Helen whirled around, her face contorted with anger. "A child is not a mistake, Henry! You have a daughter out there, and you didn't even have the decency to tell me!""Helen, please," Henry begged, taking a step towards her. "Let me explain.""Explain what?" Helen shouted. "That you've been lying to me for years? That you've been keeping secrets from me? That you've been cheating on me?""I didn't cheat on you," Henry protested. "It happened before we even met.""That doesn't make it be
“That's a bad idea, Celine” Emily advised. Celine didn't heed, she barged into the house with her house pounding. She would rather go in than stay out waiting for a miracle.Celine's heart skipped a beat as she slid the doorknob, she takes a quiet step in and the door shut behind her. She knew this was a trap, but it was too late to turn back now. She stood frozen, she gasps when she sighted Henry, Helen, and Erickson in chains, and then her hawkish gaze moved back at David.It was the first time she's seeing David in person. She squint's her brows"Who are you?" Celine asked, trying to sound confident but failing."I want your supposed father, my dear, I'm David," David replied with a smirk. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Now I have you to myself."Celine clenched her fists and stepped forward. "You're sick, David. Let them go and face me like a man."David chuckled. "You are in no position to give me orders, my dear. You are the one who is going to do as I say.
Emily knelt beside him, checking for a pulse. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Celine. "He's still alive," she said.Celine's heart was pounding in her chest. She had never been so close to death before. The room was filled with the sound of their labored breathing.The minutes stretched on, and the silence between them was unbearable. Celine tried to speak, but her throat was too tight.Finally, they heard the sound of sirens outside. Celine felt a rush of relief. The police were coming.Jones was taken away in handcuffs, and Celine and Emily were left alone in the room. They sat on the bed, numb and exhausted.Emily put her arm around Celine. "Are you okay?" she asked softly.Celine shook her head. "No," she said. "That crazy guy almost killed us. He didn't care a bit about you.""It's okay," Emily said. "We'll get through this together."Celine leaned into her friend's embrace, feeling safe for the first time since the ordeal began. She knew that they had a long road ahe
“Emily, please don't tell me you believe that trash! Why would I assassinate you lover?” she said with her lips quivering.“What's with the pretense now? There's no one here just us.” Emily creased her brows with eagerness to listen to whatever she wanted to say.“I didn't murder him, besides he's alive. We had no dispute whatsoever so why would I hurt that fellow? ”“Really? You hated him from day one.” Emily rasped, blaming innocent Celine. If only she knew Jones was only playing tricks on her to get rid of Celine.“Im not ready to argue. Just want to inform you that Jones isn't dead.” Celine said.Emily laughed loudly “Oh my, what the fuck do you think I am? I ain't gullible. Do you think I would believe those cooked-up stories?.” Celine's mouth widened, she couldn't believe her ears. She knew Emily changed overnight and there is a solid reason she was being accused. With so much disappointment, Emily stormed out of the restaurant. Celine ran after her but with time, she lost her
With a cloud of sadness hovering over her, she fell to her seat with a slumped shoulder. Her confidence died down so did that rejoicing soul of hers. She looked up to Henry with a dreadful stare “You are at fault,” Henry was unable to compose himself anymore, the tears of joy wiped off, and he had no gut to look into his daughter's eyes. His eyes fell to the floor his soul drowning in disappointment.“If you haven't left mum for that woman. This wouldn't have happened!” Celine stood up, “Go take care of the bruises on your face” she stormed out of the hospital and fell to her knees with tears streaming from her eyes.Despite being blamed by them, he didn't hesitate to check on Bianca before running after them. Getting into her ward, the doctor was done conducting tests on her. “Hello,” “Oh hi, Mr. Henry.” The doctor in charge greeted me. Henry feigned a smile to avoid unnecessary attention.“Don’t pull on a long face, sir. She's getting better. ” The doctor said with a smile. Afte
Henry lay on the ground, bloodied and bruised, his men continued to beat him mercilessly. He was in turmoil, he groaned cursing the day he ever joined the men in black. “Let go of me! Stop!” Henry ordered. He thought his title as the second in command would make them listen but it was otherwise.“Beat him to death, boys. We need to send his head to Boss when he is dead.” Lucas chuckled.Henry became weak and he couldn't scream for help anymore, he was about to lose consciousness when a gunshot rang out. It was fired at Lucas's forehead. The men stopped their assault as they were gunned down. Henry struggled to open his eyes, his vision blurry and his head pounding.“Who's that? Please don't kill me, we can talk this out.” Henry said, checking his pocket for his pistol.“Damn it!” He grumbled as he couldn't find his gun in his pocket. He remembered keeping the gun in his car.He blinked away the haze and his gaze met a figure emerging from the
