Rita arrived at the address Vivian had sent to her, she pulled over and got down from her car, then glanced at the drinking tent.She drew a sharp breath and made her way towards the entrance with a frown on her face, her hand curled into a fist. Her husband had the audacity to keep drinking after mak8ng a promise to her that he was going to stop.How often men go back on their promises!She clenched her jaw and walked in, she glanced around, it was this late but there were lots of men in here. She glanced down at her wristwatch, it was past three, yet no one seem like they were retiring for the night and the owners didn't think it was right to shut this place close and send everyone home.She glanced around and her eyebrows creased when she spotted her husband, his head was buried on the table and there were lots of empty alcohol bottle on the table."This is the fucking place you come t9 waste your money right?" She grounded her teeth and made her way towards him."Jonas!" She calle
"Katherine, can you at least tell me where we are headed?" Celeb who was feeling so sleepy asked her, he hasn’t slept since he had been the one who drove them to their destination before now."We are head to meet someone." She didn't look at him, but rather she put her focus on the road.Celeb rubbed his eyes to chase the sleep away. "Isn't it too early to meet that person?" He raised the corner of his brows, it was past four and they were still on the road."We would get to our destination when it is bright, so it's okay going now." She answered and Celeb leaned back on his seat and glanced out of the window."You are probably right, but right now I miss my bed." He mumbled but she heard him.She glanced at him and recalled he didn’t sleep all the way, even when she had fallen asleep, he had been awake driving."You can rest, we would be there soon." She informed him and glanced back on the road.Celeb turned his tired eyes at her. "How can I fall asleep when your driving is almost g
Katherine pulled over at her destination and glanced at Celeb who was still fast asleep, she stretched her hand to wake him, but he was snoring and seemed very exhausted.She withdrew her hand and took out the key, stepping out of the car, and she shut it slowly and locked the door, but left the window wind down a little in order to let air in for him.She took a deep breath and head towards the little building before her, her expression hardened and her lips pressed down in a straight line.She got to the door and pushed it open without knocking, and the moment she got in, she made a face seeing the mess inside the house."Damn, Robin, would you please clean up!" She yelled after stepping on a leather bag."Who do we have here? Oh, it’s Katherine, the only lady who doesn't knock while coming into my house." Robin stepped out of the kitchen with a plate if hot black noodles. "You call thus a house?" She glanced around. "This feels like a refuse dump." She avoided the things littered
Celeb pulled over at the garage of their apartment, he had taken the wheel from Katherine along the road.He turned his eyes to her and drew a sharp breath. "Are you ready to face my mother?" He asked.Katherine glanced at the building, dragging a slow breath, she nodded, she could tell what awaits her there, if she had gone alone, she would have faced the consequences alone."You know," Celeb turned to her after he unfastened his seatbelt. "You can decide to run away now, I will go in, act like you left, then in a few days I will get you all your luggage and you won't have to face my mother again, or this family." He looked into her eyes.It was a tempting offer, Katherine had considered it, but she wasn't going to abandon him, he was a good person and running away wasn't what she is used to, she had never done that and can't do that.This family needs her, a part of her knows they need her to survive, she has nothing to lose if she gets married to that mysterious man, but Vivian has
Celeb took Katherine to the little upstairs living room, he stopped still holding her hand, and turned his face at her."Can you please listen to me whenever I speak?" His forehead creased. "I know my mother more than you do, I knew she would do that to you!" He glanced at her rosy cheek that had turned red from the slap."Celeb," Katherine glanced down at her wrist that he was still holding and he traced her gaze and slowly left her."Celeb, I didn’t want you to be hit, it was better to get hit than have you slapped that way, whereas I made you leave with me." She said softly."Just stop Katherine, I made my decision to go with you on my own." He told her and glanced at her face again. "I'm sorry you got hit," Katherine shook her head."It doesn't hurt at all." She forced a smile, but Celeb didn't believe her, her cheek was too red to lie, and he was sure it stung."Stay here, I will go get some ice for you." He pointed at the couch and hurried down the stairs.He saw his mother asle
Jonas turned back to the cupboard after talking to Celeb, he knew his son was disappointed with him.No, it was not only his son, his wife, Katherine, Vivian and even Katherine’s parents would be turning in their graves because of him.He had disappointed all of them, he drew a sharp breath and began searching for the contact address.He looked through each file and finally arrived at one, he recognized it instantly, he had put a card in it three years ago.Flipping the file, he took out the white card and breathed a sigh of relief, throwing the other files back into the drawer, he grabbed his coat.Walking out of his room, he saw his wife laying on the sofa asleep, he looked at her tired face, he knew she was doing everything to protect their daughter, and he understood that his wife was never like this in the past.He slowly squatted next to her, putting down his coat, he picked her up slowly in his arms and made his way to the room.Putting her carefully on the bed, he pulled the q
Jonas waited for his response, hoping that Raid would give him any, he knew his favor was ridiculous, how can he walk into this office and request a billion dollar from a man he had never spoke to for three years now, a man he barely knew, someone who was only his student. Raid drew a sharp breath and leaned forward on his chair. “Mr. Jonas, to be honest with you, our company doesn’t have that amount, we are struggling as it stands now and I am sorry but that amount can’t be given.” He told Jonas. Jonas closed his eyes momentarily, all the hopes that were written on his face disappeared, this was the last man he had in mind to ask for help, and the one billion he had gotten from that family had been what he used to pay off the debt he owed and help his company. “How much can you offer me right now, I am really in a desperate situation.” He told Raid, his heart beating fast in expectation, if he could get something close to the amount he wanted, then he would be grateful. Raid thoug
Rita woke up late in the afternoon and rubbed her eyes, but her eyes slowly fell on the blanket over her shoulder, she remembered that she slept in the living room and on the sofa.She blinked and sat up, holding the quilt in her palm, she glanced around the room.There was only one person who carried her this way and it was none other than her husband, but he was not here.Why decide to act sweet? She pressed her lips together with a slight frown on her face, but her lips slowly parted in a smile.She was reminded of how she loves sleeping anywhere when she is tired and Jonas had been such a sweet soul to take her to the bed.Whenever he lifts her, he is always gentle not to wake her up, and she always sees him watching her whenever she opens her eyes, but it was different today.She pressed her lips together and pulled the quilt over her shoulder and got out of bed heading out of the room while wondering where her husband had gone again.She went to the living room and glanced aroun
