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
Jonas took a detour and drove to the grave where Katherine's parents were buried, he pulled over and took the long walk up to the cliff.He stopped when he arrived at their tombstone, slowly lowering himself to his knees, and looked at their name that was inscribed on the tombstone."I am sorry Edward." He said after a long silence, tears clustered in his eyes."I am so sorry." He said again and this time, his voice was hoarse, his lips dried and his eyelid drooped."I can't say I did all I could to stop this, I broke my promise to you." He shut his eyes and tears rolled down his cheek, his heart sank a thousand times again."I am really sorry, I can't stop this from happening, don't forgive me." His lips shriveled.He could still remember how nice Edward was, how he had treated him so well, and how they had both been great buddies at work.Edward had been his college classmate, they had done their project together and had been so close to each other ever since then.They established
Drawing a sharp breath, she swallowed hard and made her way up the stairs, she glanced at Katherine's room door, but turned to Celeb’s.She knocked on the door and waited for a response, but there was no response so she lets herself in without knocking again.She got in to see Celeb playing a game with a headphone over his head, she shook her head and glanced around the mess he made in his room.His bed was undressed, his clothes all around the room, and on the table was a different pack of snacks he had eaten.She frowned and walked over to him, grabbing the headphone off his ear. "Can you please clean your room at least?" She shouted at him and he blinked to see his mother in his room."Mom, hi..." He glanced at her but continued playing his game, he was on the verge of defeating the enemy and completing the game.Rita glanced at the game where he had invested his whole interest, she walked over and unplugged the cord and Celeb froze up as he stared at the blank screen with dilated
They headed down the stairs and towards the dinner, when they arrived, Rita was already sitting on the dining chair, she was the only one there and the other five chairs were empty."Sit." She said simply and began chopping the meat.Celeb drew a chair out for Katherine, then he sat down after she did, he passed her the bowl of rice and gestured to her to eat.Katherine glanced at Rita who was eating with her eyes lowered, she decided to eat in silence, although she was worried that Jonas wasn't here and curious as to why six plates were set for six people but they were only three.Celeb who was enjoying the meal decided to ask the question since he was curious as well."Mom, were we expecting to eat with another person? You already knew Vivian left home yesterday." He spoke up, breaking the awkward silence in the room."I invited Marcus and Vivian over for dinner," She raised her gaze. "But they turned it down because of the presence
