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 fRelated chapters

Helen snapped her finger. “I will deal with you later.” Helen turned around, she saw Celine staring like a mute bystander. Celine shifted her gaze to the wall to avoid further arguments.“You mannerless bitch! why don't you attach your ears in between us? I can see your preliminary personality reflecting bit by bit. Clean up this place before I come back. Ugh… she's just like her nosy mother.” Helen strictly ordered and ran after Henry.“She knows my mum?” Celine asked inwardly, she ignored that with the thought that Helen is just blabbering.Celine eyes surveyed the majestic room, she crouched on the seat “Why do I end up meeting bizarre people?” Celine grumbled and breathes spasmodically, making a sound.She stood up with the instinctive motive of locating the kitchen for a cup of water to get rid of her hiccups so she ran into different rooms in search of a kitchen, precisely a cup of water. She eventually barges into a male's room, Erickson's room. Startled, Celine looked over an

Celine was on her way out when a lady bumps into her. Celine brows squints as the lady pushed her way toward Erickson“Baby!” Hannah squeaked as she embraces Erickson. Erickson pushed her, disengaging from the hug, he crinkled his lips in disgust glimpsing his fiancee almost naked. Hannah was on a crop top and a skirt above her knee line, she was aware that Erickson disliked her dress mode but she can't afford to lose her fans and followers just to satisfy her lover neither did she wish to lose Erickson. As a celebrity, she decided to juggle her lover alongside her acting career.Celine was forced to turn around and her heart hammered glimpsing them closer. Jealously sprinkles on that unhappy soul, she gasps when Hannah placed a kiss on Erickson's lips.“Haven't I told you to never step foot in my home? Uh?” Erickson's voice thundered, and Celine waited to satisfy her curious state of mind.Hannah pulled her arm around his neck “What could I do?

Her endless cries wouldn't wake up Bianca from the coma. Her heart was groaning in pain yet she wiped her tears with a feigned smile. “Hang in there mother, I have a mess to clean up,” Celine murmured. She let go of Bianca's arm and walked out of the ward with her head facing the ground. The hospital was quite busy and people ran around to attend to the lot of people that got food poisoning from a party. She met the doctor in charge of Bianca's treatment on her way out. What a coincidence!“When will Bianca get up?” Celine questioned with her slumped shoulder, she didn't expect him to give a response because he was damn busy.“In approximately five years.” The doctor said, he continued “The DNA test results are out, would you like to take a look?” Celine spirit is geared, her pupils dilated and she nods quickly “Yes!” They went to his office to have a proper discussion. He stretched over the result to her with a smile. Celine's heart was p

“Why would come to my house to do this shit? What about hotels you saw on the way?” Erickson yelled, he was devastated after having a senseless argument with his fiancee, Hannah. Thankfully, he was able to lure her to the mall and now he had to deal with the playboy friend he has.“What hotel would accept me with an unconscious lady? She could barely walk.” Nelson confessed with an unwarranted smile.He continued by unzipping her outfit.“Are you trying to force yourself on a poor lady? Aren't you ashamed?” Erickson bolted, pressed his lips together, and pushes Nelson.“Watch your tongue! We are only friends and you shouldn't speak to your pal in that manner.” He never felt remorseful for his actions. Instead, he kept on using friendship to blindfold Erickson.“Get out of my house.” Erickson bolted.“Chill guy. It would be quick, I swear” Nelson wanted to continue his unfinished business with Celine, pulling off her outfit.“

“You liar!” Hannah yelled, staying her finger on his muscular chest. “Why don't you let us in? Are you trying to protect that worthless thing?” Hannah spoke with rage in her voice.“Babe, I'm sorry.” Erickson apologized, struggling to make eye contact with her but she looked away as her phone beeps from her purse.She opened her purse to check the caller. “just in time” She numbered with a smile. She was expecting her playboy, Nelson.She had to end the discussion at that moment.“I don't want to see you anymore” She started shedding crocodile tears before she left. Helen tried to stop her but it was to no avail.“You integrate!” Helen punched his shoulders. “If that beauty refuses to get married to you, I would disown you.” Helen thundered.Firstly, Erickson never loved Hannah. Their engagement was arranged by his body mother and she's forcing him to get married to a celebrity for her interest. Helen wanted to acquire more wealth since her husband refused to be productive.Erickson

Celine was done freshening up in a few minutes. She came out of the bathroom with a towel draped over her chest. She became helpless with thoughts of exposing her identity to Erickson or not.She snapped out of her thoughts when Erickson's deep voice whispers“Oh, you are done.” Erickson moved closer to her, he leans towards her, her eyes balls as he pins her to the wall. Celine heart pounds in her chest as her head leans on his chest, her body burns to be so close to him, she yearns to embrace him but her mind keeps pushing her away. “What? What are you trying to do?” Celine yelled at him, she flinched to a side.“Shutting my bathroom door. What else?” Erickson shuts the door behind her, he moved away an points a new dress to her. Celine stood in Erickson's bathroom doorway, a white towel draped around her body as she stares lovingly at him. She wraps her arms around his neck. As she leans closer to him, reality crashes in like a wave - they are siblings, and she can never tell him

His mother glared at him for a moment longer before lowering her hand. "Fine," she spat. "I deleted the pictures I had on the internet. From now on, I must not see this thing step in my house else death is the next sentence." Helen thundered, as she stormed out of the room.Celine looked on, her eyes wide with shock and gratitude. "Thank you," she said softly.Erickson nodded, his face still expressionless. "Let's go," he cooed, turning to leave.As they walked out of the house together, Celine couldn't help but ask, "Why are you being so nice to me? Your mother despises me."Erickson paused for a moment before answering. "I don't care what my mother thinks," he said. "She's just being picky as always and I'm sure she won't hurt you anymore."Celine smiled, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort from Erickson's words. As they walked down the street together, she felt grateful to have a friend like him, someone who was willing to stand up for her, no matter what.“So where are you headi

“They won't attack you. They have a personal vendetta against me and not you. Just stay away from me.” Celine's tone was icy, and Erickson knew that there was no room for argument.He glanced as she walked away, her hips swaying in her gown. It was hard not to follow her, but he knew that she needed her space.Erickson looked around and realized that they were in an abandoned alleyway. He knew that it was not safe to be there, especially after the attack they had just faced.He quickly jogged after Celine and caught up with her. “Let me take you home. It's not safe for you to be alone.”Celine stopped in her tracks and turned to face him. “I'm not alone. I have my father.”Erickson raised an eyebrow. “Your father? I thought you were raised by a single mother. I would like to meet the man that raised a tough girl.” he teased expecting a smile or blush but she pulled him off.Celine's expression turned cold. “Don't mock me.”Erickson scoffed. “Are you sure you would be alright?

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.

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.

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.

“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 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
