CHAPTER 101 – Emergency
“What’s the meaning of this?” she asked in confusion.
“Why do you have my underwear?” she looked intently at Daniel expecting him to panic but she only saw calmness.
What is happening?
Daniel took a deep breath and walked towards the tall book shelf behind the desk.
“Someone took it from you, I just took it back” he then placed a folder full of her photos in provocative positions.
Celine didn’t know how to respond.
“It’s not what you think”
“What do you think I think?” Daniel calmly asked back.
“I was assaulted that day. His name was Enrique” she started recalling everything that happened at the party.
How Enrique approached her and how he mentioned having a meeting with Daniel. How he suspected that she is Anne Yates.
There’s no point in hiding it now from Daniel.
When she finished her story, she was already snu

When she left Linda’s room, she suddenly felt there’s nowhere to go.She has an unfinished discussion with Daniel about the incident in the yacht.About their divorce settlement.About his wedding.About him giving her flowers.She doesn’t want to go to the facility because all her bottled-up emotions would explode if she heard Sylvia’s gentle voice.Not to the mansion, for obvious reasons.Hotel it is.She decided to sit at a nearby bench near the bus stop and watched the people as they chase the bus.‘Funny’, she thought.After they managed to get on the bus, they were relieved enough to smile and to continue scrolling through their mobile phones as if the previous bus chase did not happen.Maybe it’s a gift to be able to acknowledge an obstacle and surpass it and move on and then repeat every time.To be able to celebrate small wins and to have the courage to accept defeat.She has never imagined to be in another person’s shoes.But sometimes she wonders, what if someone else is in

When they reached the resort, Celine could not prevent the inevitable. They ended up staying-in the whole afternoon and when they finished, she could not move a muscle.A lot of things have happened between them in the past few weeks, but it seemed none of it mattered when their bodies had a language on its own.They were in synched as soon as the doors were closed, and no words were needed to be spoken.Their bodies knew what they needed, and the mind just indulged in the pleasure.“D”“Shhhhhh” Daniel immediately cut her off.“Let’s not think of anything right now” he pulled her closer and just closed their eyes.For the first time in his years of existence, he felt free.Free of obligations.Free from being a Stevenson.Free from being Roland Yates’ apprentice.He just wants to be a man who longed to be with his woman.And the serenity that encapsulates them was so overwhelming he didn’t notice a drop of tear escaped from his eyes.And as soon as he realized it’s enormity, it was g

“I thought you want me to be happy?” Daniel asked innocently.“I do. But you won’t be happy with an arranged marriage. You should pick your own wife. I can help you with that. I can filter out those who are incompatible with you” she reasoned-out.“You sound like a jealous wife. If I didn’t know any better, I would think you’re in love with me and want to keep me to yourself” Daniel smirked then winked at her.“Oh wait, you insisted on divorcing me so I’m sure that’s not the case”She squinted her eyes in annoyance.How dare he expose her like that without regards for her feelings?“You’re so annoying” she just rolled her eyes to finish their discussion.She continued working on her laptop, but she couldn’t maintain her focus.Tack! Tack! Tack!Her keystrokes are so powerful it loosened-up all the gunk in her keyboard.After some time, she noticed Daniel went to the bathroom and came back smiling.“I’ve prepared your bath, you look like a dragon about to blow fire” he pointed to his n

The next day, she woke up before Daniel and her smile slowly crept up her face. There are times when she looks at him, as if she’s seeing him for the first time, and her heart would skip a beat. But most of the times, she sees him as a familiar face that gives comfort and warmth to her heart. She always thought she had to choose between the Daniel who sweeps her off her feet and the Daniel who would always catch her when she falls. But she knew in her heart, she needed both. She’s lucky Daniel is everything she ever needed in every stage of her life.“Are you sure you’re not in love with me?” she saw Daniel opened his eyes with a soft smile.“I was about to wake you up, you overslept. You promised to go to the cave” she demanded expressing her usual attitude.She turned around to hide her blush and let a gentle smile register across her face.Daniel did not waste any second and before she knew it, they were already trekking the inside of the jungle towards the secret cave.“Daniel, I

“You don’t like it?” Daniel asked.“I like it. This is mine, yes?” she confirmed without emotion.She thought she could escape the inevitable.She thought having Daniel all to herself in a faraway location would make her fantasy a reality.It seems he has moved on.No matter how many times they would share a bed, he would still belong to someone else when the time comes.When they went back to the resort, she suggested to go back to the city. Since she also wanted to visit Linda and the baby, Daniel did not suspect anything.“I can design a new ring if you don’t like it” Daniel has been observing her since he showed her the rest of the ring.Her reaction was not what he has envisioned for the longest time.He was expecting her to be moved and appreciative of his efforts but instead she just dismissed everything.“I’m just used to having one broken ring. Now that it’s complete, it just feels…unfamiliar” she replied honestly.“I think I will keep the two rings in my vault and just retai
