“Here, but I didn't get a pen. ” Bianca forewarned. Emily's brows went up “What you got, Ma'am?” she gave an unrelenting stare, opening her hands.“Just a ketchup from my room.” Bianca forewarned, she handed it over to Emily with a beamful smile.Celine slams her palm on her forehead “Truth needs to be told, Mum. You urgently need medical attention.” Celine confessed as she shakes her head. Emily and Bianca shot her a disgusted glare. She had to shut that running tap she calls a mouth.They crouched on the same couch with Emily sandwiched in between a stool before Emily, they leaned forward paying utmost attention to Emily. Emily grabs the ketchup“Alright, we are aware those men are mafia's, aren't we?”Celine commented, stroking an invisible beard.“Yeah, kind of but they mostly sell people so they should be murderers or assassination.” Emily nodded quickly, she had no time to argue about a fact.“Uhmm…on point darling,” Bianca remarked giving Celine a fist bump. A smile spreads
Henry walked into a room, he came out of the room with a bag filled with guns. “Oh no…never! I wouldn't want to murder anyone.” Bianca mumbled immediately after she had a glance at the guns.A smile spreads across Celine's face, “Im in” she confessed. Emily nods negatively doubting herself but she could do anything for Jones. “Let's do this” Emily concluded.“Yeah…I love this kind of vibe.” Celine yelled.They all walked out of the cabin. Their eyes balled out as they sighted Lucas seated in the car with his visage fixed at them. He was outside expecting them the whole time, he became relieved when his eyes met Celine.“You traitor! You lied that Bianca's daughter was dead” Lucas glares at Celine. Some fully harmed men appeared before them, pointing their guns at them.Henry grimaces at Emily, he misunderstood her for Bianca's daughter. “I would sacrifice anything to save Bianca's daughter even my life.” Henry grunts, the lies h
Emily excuses herself, she drags her feet to wherever her legs took her. She was in deep thought and couldn't find another option than to go save Jones herself. Emily found herself in the lady's restroom with a flushed face. She twists the tap knob, the running tap worsens the situation by making her remember some memories they shared with Jones on the island.“He can survive this, I believe him.” she convinced herself with a forced smile. She splashes water on her face, taking a glimpse of those eye bags underneath her eyes. Her shoulders slumped and her troubled heart cease to heed her fearful warnings. “There's no time left. I will go save Jones myself.” Emily remarked, pushing out her chest with her head lifted.Emily made up her mind.She takes a step away and a pop-up message made her new cellphone buzz, she had to pause for a minute with her eyes wandering. She staggered when she noticed it was from her pocket, it was her first time using a cel
In the hospital…Celine jerked, she stood on her feet when she sighted the doctors walking out of Bianca's ward. With the facial expressions on the doctors' faces, Celine understood that it was a serious case.“Doctor, what happened?” Lucas was able to stop a doctor who looked patient enough. Henry nudges Lucas, pushing him aside so he could look into the doctor's eyes. “Doctor, what's going on? Why did it take so long to remove just a bullet?” Henry rants.“How are you guys related to the patient?” The doctor questioned moving his gaze to Lucas and stepping on Henry's toes.“I'm her husband” Henry and Lucas chorused. They frown at each other with intense anger. Henry pushes Lucas away, and Lucas staggers tightening his grasp on his golden walking cane. Air huff's from his nostrils as he turned his angry gaze to Henry “You have a woman in your life, why don't you let me be?”Lucas roared. Henry and Lucas started arguing. The doctor became confused, “Do you guys notice you are in a ho
“Yes… All I need is your blood sample or hair sample.” The doctor spoke.“Uhm….I don't have the other samples. Will get it right away.” Celine said moving so close to him. The doctor jerked away “Eew! Your mouth stinks. Don't tell me you spent the whole day here?”Celine feigned a smile, she wished she could strangle him and cut off his air socket. Celine was muted as she took a glimpse of Bianca “You would be fine in no time, mother.” Her palm touches Bianca's cold hand. The doctor rushed to his office, he offered her DNA plastic bags to keep the samples from external factors.Celine walked out of the room, she looked miserable just having a night without a good night's rest.When she walked out of the ward, her visage moved to the area loud masculine voices emitted from. They seem to be in an argument. Celine interrupts by pulling Lucas's black hair, and she instantly puts a strand of Lucas's hair in the bag. Lucas winced turning around “What the fuck? Are you trying to hurt me?”
Celine eyes moved to the black shoe obstructing the door. Her visage moved up, her blood ran cold when she sighted the tip of a black suit. She gasps trying to catch her breath.“Hello?” The voice uttered. He finally showed his face.“Henry, you startled me” Celine gasps placing her hand on her chest.“Why would you reject a free breakfast from a billionaire?” Henry questions, barging in. Celine gave a preventative stare“Pervert! Get out” She grunts, she ran into the bathroom to change into a simple dress and walked out with a frown. “You look so much like her,” Henry whispered.Celine glared at him, she finds it unnecessary to reply.“Alright, let's get going,” Henry ordered. Celine refused to come after him, she stayed at a spot with wrinkles on her forehead. “What do you want with me?”“Come on.” Henry chuckles, he clung his arm in hers pulling her out. “Why? What… are you trying to do with
Celine curled her lips in a supercilious smile.“What do you mean? You had the guts to call me that. Hmm….it seems you have no idea that I'm far wealthier than anyone on this planet.” Celine confessed, she couldn't continue eating, she was so disgusted at his actions.“So how do you explain being at my dad's table? You low-life bitch.” Erickson rasped, folding his arms on his chest. He had the sentiment of sending a dirty slap across her face but he didn't instead he held his hands back in anger.Celine moved her gaze to him, she tilts her head with a furrowed brow.“He is your father? Henry is?” Celine questioned. Erickson raked her in disdain. He slams his palm against each other, clapping widely. Erickson offered an option.“Nice job. The other plan is to pretend you don't know my family, right? You are sleeping around with Henry for his money, right? How about I offer you a million and you get your filthy face away and find a better job?”
“Im so sorry. I didn't mean to make you angry.” Celine pleaded. Emily scrunches her face with her fist firm on the steering. “Ugh… it is fine. I'm okay.” Emily stammered with her angry gaze fixed on the road. Celine noticed outrage from Emily, and she frowns. She got confused about Emily's behavior and had no intention of ado so she won't awaken Emily's anger again.“I've forgotten the name of the hospital your mother was admitted to. Silly me! Would you mind reminding me?” Emily uttered with a smile. Celine tilts her head, she was more confused than ever, and she chose to ignore Emily. She creased her eyes then she noticed Emily's phone in the back seat, she grabbed it trying to unlock it but ended up tapping a trending picture. Celine gasps, she slammed her eyes shut and opens them back, it wasn't a dream.She could see a picture of her and Henry so close. They were captured when Celine was foolishly cleaning her spit off Henry's arm.“Oh, my f
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
