The pool guy knocked again.
“Look bro, it’s a misunderstanding” the pool guy tried to explain.
He said he cleaned the pool but left some chemicals to treat the water overnight.
He needed to check again so he came back.
Daniel let him in and let him continue his work.
Anyway, Celine is not around.
“It’s Sunday now, don’t you have day-off?” Daniel started his interrogation.
“Yeah, actually I didn’t file it in the office. I came here voluntarily” he said proudly.
“Admirable” Daniel commended his dedication.
“Any family waiting for you at home?”
“I’m single. My parents live in the country, we’re estranged” he said casually.
“So, if you’re gone missing, no one would find you?” Daniel asked seriously.
The poor guy lifted his head in shock when he realized the meaning in Daniel&rsquo
Daniel raised his eyebrows at her.“Not now, after the second part of the will. I want a divorce” he could not believe it.“Did Minerva talk you into it?” he asked.She shook her head.“Is it because of this afternoon? It’s normal for couples to have disagreement” he said trying to hug Celine.“No, no. It’s not that” she looked at Daniel intently.“I think Clint Solomon is my father” she immediately took out Minerva’s recording and played it for Daniel.After 15 minutes of listening to the recording, Daniel sent the recording to his phone and deleted Celine’s copy.“First, you cannot let anyone hear this. It will crash the company’s credibility” Daniel started.“Second, it doesn’t necessarily mean she would get pregnant after her first intercourse with Clint”“It’s possible they had a
The look of shock on Linda’s face was enough for her to realize she was being unreasonable.She immediately hugged Linda.“I’m so sorry, Linda. I cannot lose you” and she cried out all her worries.“I know you’re scared. I am too”“But when I found out I’m pregnant, I knew my life is not mine anymore”“And I’m willing to take the pain if that means I could deliver this baby into the world” she lovingly wiped Celine’s tears.“Love, can you call the doctor? Let’s see if we’re having a boy or a girl” Linda called out to Brendan.When the doctor came back, he showed the print-out of the scan.“Congratulations! You’re having a boy”Brendan and Linda were ecstatic.Celine knew, Linda would give up everything for that child.“Doll, come here” Linda reached out for her hand.
She wanted to call Daniel but she thought it’s not her business.She just sent him a message.Tiff was peeking at her phone but she got confused.She saw an ocean a moon and a firework.“Are you planning on a vacation?” Tiff asked lightly.“Yes”“With a merman?” Tiff saw the recipient of the message.“Yes”“OMG Celine. You’re not dating your pool guy, are you?” Tiff almost squealed in excitement.Oscar was passing by when he overheard the last conversation.He felt a cold sweat on his back.“Ladies” he greeted.Celine nodded in understanding.“Oscar, I’m taking a few days off. CEO said he’s on meditation retreat and he already approved” Tiff advised the old man.Oscar just agreed and proceed to the meeting room.“Go with Aaron. Have fun” Celine suggested then fo
“We agreed it’s not a date so sex is out of the table” Tiff said bravely.“Excuse me. I need to work” she tried to push the man aside.“Are you insulting my capabilities?” he asked arrogantly.“After what happened last night, you think you can still walk?”“Stop kidding me. It’s not funny” she said in trembling voice.“Why? Are you still waiting for Daniel to notice you?” he asked smugly.“Newsflash: His eyes are only focused on Celine”“I’m not waiting for Daniel” she blurted out.“I’m waiting for something real” she looked straight into his eyes but her vision got blurred by her tears.“I guess, I’ll never get to have that” she pushed him again but this time he moved.“I also wanted something real, Tiff. But I made a lot of stupid things before and no one see
“Your birthday is coming up. I booked a trip to celebrate in advance” Daniel quickly diverted their conversation.“Wow, thanks. I’ll call Linda” she said excitedly.“C, it’s only for us”“And it’s not advisable for Linda to travel” Daniel explained.“Okay”“By the way, I have received the formal invitation for Daddy’s will”“Can you help to send me there?” she still hasn’t started her driving lessons.“I think I need to ask Attorney Dawson for security”“I’m actually scared to be inside the room with my mother and Linda”“Brendan cannot go in because he’s not on the list”“What if my mother goes berserk just like the last time?” she felt a cold shiver ran down her spine.Last time, Minerva assaulted Linda on the spot and no one could br
“D, how far is it?” she asked after stopping for the third time.Their first day is already wasted in driving.They’ve been driving for hours now.“I need to stretch my legs. It would be easier if I have a reliever” he objected.Celine just gave him a grin.She has actually completed her driving lessons but her license is still pending.When they started driving again, she saw a strip of white sandy beaches.“Wow, D, this is amazing” she exclaimed in amazement.“We’re going to the mountains. But yeah, the beach is a nice view too” he chuckled looking at the disappointed Celine.“You are so annoying, Daniel Grant” she rolled her eyes then stared at the blue sky outside.“We’re here” Daniel slowly went inside a resort after driving a few minutes more.Celine looked around feeling familiar.“I think I’v
“That’s just cruel” she tried to control her tears.“They’re having a baby and he didn’t know about it” Celine drank another beer.“What makes you think so?” Daniel asked confused.“The letter said, ‘you gave me a life’, ‘a life’ not ‘you gave me life’. It must mean a person” she said trying to find meaning in the words.“I told you in the beginning you may or may not believe it”“And I choose to believe it. I can feel it’s real. Maybe we can find a cave here somewhere” she asked desperately.Daniel just gave her a comforting hug.How could he let her go out in the world when a mere bedtime story could crush her heart?“Do you want to know why the girl only appears on full moon?” Daniel asked.Celine looked at him expectantly then nodded her head.“Because she’
“Did you like the falls, Ms. Yates” the caretaker asked her when they arrived at the reception.“Send our lunch to the villa” Daniel requested kindly.“Yes, Mr. Stevenson” the old lady replied.As soon as they reached their room, Daniel hugged her from behind and started kissing her neck.“I want more” he took her lips like a hungry lion and led her to their bed.Celine’s mind went blank.She just let her emotions and her body dictate what happens next.And they did it again and again and again.“D, can we rest first” she was out of breath when they finished.Daniel hugged her sweaty body and whispered in her ears.“You’re addicting. I can’t get enough of you” he said as he nibbled her ear.His hands started caressing her body again when she did not object.When he looked at her face, her eyes were fully c
