“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
Celine wanted to curse herself for listening to her mother.For sure Daniel thought she was being influenced by Minerva.When the work week started, she felt Daniel became distant.She wasn’t sure if she’s becoming more observant of his actions or he’s really avoiding her.He bought her a car as soon as she gotten her license and they started driving to office separately.She suddenly felt empty.“Celine, are you listening to me?” Tiff asked.They were having lunch with Aaron but Celine doesn’t seem so interested.“Sorry, I zoned out. Are you guys officially dating now? Or still press release?” she asked.“No, no. Still not dating” Tiff immediately replied.“So, Aaron, you’re still having one-night stands?” she casually asked.“What the hell is that about?” Aaron glared at her.“I just want to know how do
When they reached Attorney Dawson’s office, they saw the rest of the invitees.Minerva, Linda, Attorney Dawson.Brendan was also outside the office together with some security guards.“I need your invitation for verification, Mr. Stevenson” Attorney Dawson asked for formalities.“You personally handed me the invitation” he could not believe this old man.“For formalities” the old man replied flatly.Daniel took out his crumpled invitation and stretched it before giving it to the good lawyer.“He shouldn’t be here” Minerva sneered.“They’re divorcing anyway” she added arrogantly.Attorney Dawson just ignored her remarks.Well, she’s just being her usual self.“Good morning” Attorney Dawson greeted.“We are gathered today to hear the second part of Roland Troy Yates’ last will”&ldqu
“Celine, give 5% to your sister, yes? Good girl” he asked as if Celine already agreed.“Celine – 55%; Linda will have 15%; Daniel another 15%” he furrowed his eyebrows.His math is not tallying.“What’s wrong with this stupid paper?” he lashed out.Attorney Dawson wanted to laugh seeing his old friend.“Jeffrey, force the board to give up 5%. That’s on you. Break” he didn’t want to compute anymore.The good lawyer stopped the video and faced the furious Minerva.“The video has not yet ended, Minerva. Maybe your portion will be stated towards the end” he gave his opinion.“You think? Maybe? You know your friend Jeffrey. He’s humiliating me” she said dramatically.“Do I need to sign, anything?” Celine suddenly asked.“To allocate the 5% to my sister?” she asked sarcastically.“I
“Fuck!” Clint cursed.He was enjoying the company of three strippers since last night and he doesn’t want to be bothered right now.“What else?”“Nothing, we had to postpone because she had stomach cramps”“Did Mr. Yates leave her anything?”“15%” Clint could only whistle.15% of billions is still a lot.“How much does my princess have?” he continued to ask of the breakdown and Minerva continued to answer him.“What do we do now? I cannot let that Linda Lopez get a piece of the pie” Minerva asked in panicked.“You do nothing, Minerva”“If anything happens to Linda, it will come back to you”“Focus on the princess, if you play it right, she will do everything for us” he ended the call as he fondled one of the strippers.If the princess has the biggest share, maybe he should sta
“Babe, I want to see Linda. I cannot sleep” Celine said when she opened her eyes.Daniel let out a soft chuckle then opened the black-out curtain.Celine could not believe the sun is already up.She thought she was awake the whole time.She must be very tired to oversleep.When they reached the hospital, she got confused.Where is Linda?“We moved her to another location last night. Since someone has been monitoring our house, we need to stay here for a while” Daniel explained.“But I want to see her. I need to explain why I did that. She cannot be mad at me, right?” she asked worriedly.“She loves you more than anything. Don’t worry about it”After waiting for an hour, they decided to leave the hospital.“Confirmed location, boss” the driver of the black car called Clint after seeing Daniel’s car coming out of the hospital&ldqu
The room was still silent even after Daniel’s confirmation.No one wanted to break the silence.“Aaron, come with me” Daniel took Aaron to the corner to discuss their plan for tonight.Based on Minerva’s words, Clint will take action on Linda.They need to be prepared.The next day, both Celine and Daniel received a call from Attorney Dawson.They will resume the reading of the will.When they reached the office, Minerva was already there sitting proudly at the sofa.“Ahh, Celine darling. I had the most peaceful sleep last night”“I feel so light as a feather, one less nuisance out of the way” she said proudly.“Attorney Dawson, let’s start” Minerva said directing the flow of events inside the room.“Shouldn’t we wait for Linda?” Celine asked innocently.“I’m afraid Linda won’t be able to join us any
Minerva let out a nervous laugh.“No, of course not. You know – ““Then Linda Lopez will retain her shares. We will honour father’s last wishes as it is”“Anyone who has objections, feel free to return everything my father has given you” she looked around to see anyone who would object.“Is there anything else, Uncle Jeffrey?” she wanted to escape from there as soon as possible.“Nothing else, only the re-distribution of the shares will be made public”“The rest of the details will be kept confidential”“Next reading will be on your 30th birthday. Five years from now” Attorney Dawson said with formality.He was never a fan of Celine.He always thought she is a spoiled little brat who always get what she wants and who would get away from responsibilities.But no matter how wayward she is, she doesn’t des
The next morning, she woke up with a splitting headache.She doesn’t remember most of what happened.Good thing she went out with Aaron, at least she was sure he sent her home.Everything was still blurry as she tried to open her eyes again.She dashed to the toilet when she felt her stomach rumbling and vomited inside.She hated that feeling.It was very painful to feel the acid coming up to your throat after being wasted the night before.She must have drunk a lot.She usually stops after a glass. She will have another if Linda is around.She looked at the mirror but she didn’t like what she saw.Just when she allowed herself to feel, all the feelings came in at once.She washed her face and brushed her teeth but tears kept on flowing.No matter how many times she splashed water on her face, the tears kept on coming.She closed her eyes and dry her face one last time.&ldq
