Who is Celeste suspecting?
“Selene, who got you pregnant?” Celeste asked once again, trembling like a soaked kitten. She dreaded the answer her daughter would give, but she was still hopeful that it was someone else and not Declan Grayson. “Wow! Bunny, you’re pregnant? That’s great news.” Tara Anderson swiftly walked past Celeste and hugged Selene, who was lying frailly on the bed. She couldn’t believe she rushed there, all panicky, only to find out that her daughter was finally pregnant. This only meant that the effects of the crazy drug would finally wear off in her system. Christopher Davies also hurried to his daughter and gently caressed her hair, relief washing over him like never before. He knew she was finally going to be free, and she’d have her life back now. “Tell me, dear, what do you want to eat? Let me get it for you right away. You must be so weak and hungry right now.” Tara kept squealing like a child, as she probed her daughter. Selene was silent for a while, but Chloe suddenly spoke
“It’s so good to see you, Ms. Grey. Thank God, you’re perfectly fine. You are indeed a survivor.” Lulu burst out as soon as she laid eyes on the girls. When Selene saw her, she equally burst out in panic, “Oh my God! Lulu, have you had anything to eat?” She just noticed that she didn’t make any arrangements for the young lady’s meals. She was also certain that Chloe would be too caught up with the day’s events to even think about that. “I’m so sorry.” She added sincerely. However, Lulu only smiled and responded, “Please don’t worry about me. Dr. Leonardo already took care of my meal.” Her words were enough for Selene to calm down, but she couldn’t ward off the feeling that something else was on the young lady’s mind. She looked to be smiling with difficulty, and Selene could tell that all wasn’t well with her. “Are you okay?” As she asked this, Chloe quickly dragged the young lady into the bathroom, where she forced her to wash her hands and join in on the meal prepared for
“How about I say goodbye properly? You know you’re going to miss me. A lot.” Benson tried to sweet-talk Angelique into another round of fiery lovemaking. It could even be the fourth round in just a few hours. “Not a chance. I need to go to work, you know? I can't delay any longer.” The two had been cohabiting for seven days straight, and Benson didn’t fail to blow her mind at every attempt they made at lovemaking. She was also enjoying her sweet time, but it was now necessary to put her work before all the pleasure. “If all goes well, I may be traveling out of town.” Benson proposed, staring at the woman keenly. “Any news about the injured cast? Or, is someone else replacing her?” Angelique asked in interest, and Benson smiled wryly, all the while shaking his head to indicate that he didn’t have any details either. “It’s been four weeks already, and I think they finally realized they couldn’t hold up the whole cast because of a single person. The movie is being produced by he
As Selene sat in the van with her manager and Chloe, the newest released track from Nathan the songbird was playing in the background, and Chloe couldn’t hide her blush from anyone, no matter how hard she tried. “You seem to be loving his songs more and more, Chloe,” Selene teased her friend when she noticed how she kept zoning off into the song. She looked so infatuated that one would have thought she wrote the song. “I was there when this song was recorded. So, of course, I should be happy about it. What are you trying to say?” Choe fired agitatedly. “Fine. I accept that you just love the song because you can hear Lulu’s voice in it. It’s not because of the main artist. I hear you.” Her sharp retort was rather more suggestive than Chloe expected, hence, she could only look out the window and forcefully trail her gaze on the scenery. It was better not to respond to Selene. Even though she was in the car, the deep blush that creeped onto her face was enough to tell Selene that h
“What the heck! Daddy?” Selene couldn’t believe the sight before her. When she was leaving home earlier, Declan told her he also had an early engagement that morning. He even went ahead to say that they would see each other during the day. He sounded so mischievous that she felt something was off about him but chose to remain silent about it, telling herself that she was just overthinking things. “CEO of Phoenix Age Entertainment? My boss? How is this possible? I didn’t even” She was so shocked that she quickly lost track of her location. Nothing could have prepared her for this surprise, as she felt that her husband was just connected to the entertainment industry because of his businesses. Selene kept mumbling to herself for a brief moment while the panelists were trying to suck up to her husband. To say she was shocked would have been an understatement. Simply put, she was flabbergasted. “Ms. Bella... Bella Grey...” The director called out for the umpteenth time, finally
“That was awesome!” Declan’s friend shouted after a long pause from everyone. Even Declan was awed into silence by his wife’s performance. While on stage, Selene quickly transformed into a rowdy teenager who would do anything to have her way. She was so convincing that they all felt drawn into her world, unable to exit, even though she transformed smoothly back to reality. Selene called out to them gently before they realized they were silent for too long. The claps soon followed, and the director couldn’t even see anything to hold against her. Selene already bagged the role of the female lead, and nothing anyone said could change that. “Well done, Bella. But... Something baffles me, though. Did you have access to the script before now?” She wanted to put forward that she only performed so well because Declan allowed her access to the whole script beforehand. “Yes, I did.” Selene responded in a crisp voice, shocking all of them, including her husband. He never spoke abo
~~~ Gory scene ahead ~~~ “Algún último deseo? (Any last wishes?)” Rafaela was seated in her specially designed chair in the meeting ground of the Diaz Cartel. She was so aloof that the people sprawled on the floor before her wished for nothing more than to tear that expressionless face to shreds. As soon as she returned from Bloomsbay, she set a lot of traps to capture the traitors in the act. Betrayal was greatly frowned upon by the members of the Diaz Cartel. They forged their bond through a lot of battles and bloodshed, but they still emerged strong. They never got themselves involved in the shady deals of the other cartels. Rafaela ensured that no one in the cartel ever got involved in any deals apart from the drugs and ammunition that they sold for ages. No human trafficking or illegal organ harvesting was allowed. She even took steps to end the drug-trafficking wing of the cartel. However, since her sickness kicked in, she never had the time to think about any such activiti
[Pa!] [Pa!!] [Pa!!!] Several bullets were fired into various scattered positions in the building, and the occupants were terrified. Man after man fell. Startling the other guards on duty. Some were even speaking about random things, but before they realized it, one or both of them were already on the floor. Blood spilled everywhere, and bodies were equally scattered in all directions. However, the intruders were just getting started. They came for someone’s head, and they wouldn’t leave until they had it. Some buildings in the compound were already set on fire, and the occupants could be seen running helter-skelter. Nothing was done to indicate that the people came to capture anyone, and it was clear from their actions that they came for a certain person’s head. Amid the sudden attack, a woman who looked to be in her early fifties lay naked on her luxurious bed. A man of about twenty-five years, young enough to be her son, was crazily plummeting into her core. He was so de
“This would look good on you, Selene. After all, you always look good in anything.” Lulu chimed in, waving Gilbert, who held her little one in his hand. “He’s playing the part of an uncle well enough.” Chloe commented, watching Gilbert from afar.“Yeah! We trust him. Even Vicker feels it’s okay to leave the little one with him. I’m so glad to have him around, you know. He makes everything so easy in the company. He’s even my number one spy. “All the girls entered the desiganted suite, and Selene suddenly mocked Lulu, “Oh, he’s no longer Boss Vicker, huh? I guess someone is truly in love…” The girls all burst out in a hearty laugh, but Chloe had a comeback for Selene. “Well, I guess you prefer to hear her call him daddy. I don’t blame you, after all, you’re daddy’s girl.”At those words, a pillow came flying toward Chloe, before Selene feigned an apologetic look. “Oh, your excellency, I’m so sorry the pillow found your chest. It should have met your head, silly!” Selene jumped onto
“I know the presidency of Bloomsbay is hereditary, you sucker. You need a wife to claim that seat. Was that why you wanted to marry me so badly? What? I am so naive that I fit the perfect role of first lady, huh?” Chloe plopped onto a seat in the garden, bawling her eyes out. She couldn’t believe she played into the hands of Nathan like a fool. “Aunt Celeste, please come and pick me. I want to go home.” Chloe cried into her phone, her finges shaking. On the other side, Celeste didn’t ask too many questions, but only required her to turn on her location. About thirty minutes later, she was in front of the president’s residence, wondering what Chloe was doing there.“Madam, welcome.” A guard welcomed Celeste as if she had been to the place several times. No one stopped her along the way, but rather bowed to her as she passed them by. “There you are, Chloe. Who bulllied you? Tell me.” Celeste hugged the young lady tightly, patting her back so many times. “I also wish to know, Ms Graha
“Selene, I’m exhausted. It’s not fun anymore.” Chloe cried into the receiver, as she spotted a mountain of files on her desk. She had the chance to live peacefully when her uncle was alive. However, upon the sudden demise of Garrett Graham, Paddy literally dragged Chloe to manage the Graham family’s chain of businesses. Chloe had to grow up so fast that she rarely had time to meest her best friend. It was so ironical that Declan’s daughter had to manage the Grayson group, and Celeste had absolutely nothing to complain about. If Magdalene heard the news, all the screws in her head would finally go loose. “Quit complaining, Chloe. At least you still have grandpa to assist you. You know my dad is still recovering from stroke, and mom is always with him. I have to manage two group of companies. Do you dare to combine that with being a mother of two naughty brats?”Selene’s words caused Chloe to burst out in a peal of laughter, and Selene could only follow suit. It became a norm for the t
“My dear mother, I hope you’re happy now. I present to you, the ashes of your eldest son, his wife, and his three children. I hope you feel better when you bathe yourself in their ashes.” Celeste’s blood was boiling in rage, as she placed the vases containing the ashes of all the people she mentioned in front of her mother. One after the other, ash after ash was presented to Magdalene, and she only sat there, looking listless. It was as if the words being spoken was to someone else, and not her.A few days ago, Paddy Grayson decided to make his will known to his children. Despite Declan being many billions richer than the Graysons, Paddy still left something for him. It was this singular act that caused Magdalene to force her eldest son and his family back home. Magdalene shouldn’t have know about the will, but she eavesdropped on the lawyer and Paddy while they were going through the will in Paddy’s study room. No one knew she was there, but Magdalene decided to stop the will from
[Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!] Miranda rushed to the door, thinking it was the delivery guy who was bringing in the beef stew, vegetable rice, and pizza that she ordered earlier. Well, the food was there as expected, but it wasn't the delivery guy she expected. “You…” Miranda knew she couldn't bang the door in his face, so she could only play along. “How much for the food?” She asked as if she didn't know the person before her. “How long before you tell me about my child?” Leonardo asked sharply, causing Miranda to take a step back. Her right hand was protectively on her flat belly. “Wh… What are you talking about? The baby is not yours.” “Oh, so you agree you're pregnant, huh? Everything matches the last time we fu*ked in this room. So, tell me, who else would be the father if not me?” Leonardo noticed the minute change in Miranda's demeanor as soon as he spoke about them fu*king not long ago. He had a feeling that she missed his touch as much as he missed hers. “Fine! I want my
“How's she?” Declan asked, as soon as they arrived in front of the ward. He needed to hear everything from the horse’s own mouth, and Leonardo was already waiting when they arrived. Celeste was equally scared of what report the doctor might give, but she held her tongue and allowed the young doctor to respond to her brother’s question. It was the same thing on her mind, anyway. “Call down, Dec. She's fine. As a matter of fact, the ecstasy kicked in at first, but we sorted everything out. No need to worry too much.” Leonardo beamed with a contagious smile, confusing the tense siblings standing in front of him. “Leonardo…” Declan called out in a threatening tone, alerting his friend that he was in no mood for jokes. “Yo, man, take a chill pill. I said your little wife is doing just fine. As a matter of fact, Selene is doing great.” Leonardo cleared his throat and continued. “I finally figured out the antidote for the ecstasy. You don't need to know what it is, but be rest assured t
“What the heck! Bella’s in trouble.” One intern screamed at the top of her lungs when she chanced upon the live video. She was so scared that she didn’t filter her words. “Everyone check the gossip monger’s tiktok page. Somebody call the police…” The intern who was live on tik tok had the account name, “Gossip Monger” Her colleagues always teased her for choosing such a tacky name, but they all enjoyed her content all the same. ***“Declan, I’ve been a terrible person to you. For the longest time, I thought you were my enemy, but I guess I was blind all along.” Celeste spoke calmly, letting out a deep sigh. She didn’t seem to be in any form of discomfort as she spoke, and Declan could tell that the person sitted before him was a changed person. Meanwhile, he remained silent, watching her as if he wasn’t interested in her words. In actual fact, he already forgave Celeste, when he listened to the discussion she had with her mother a while back. A woman who could do what Magdalene di
“So, boss Miranda, what you’re saying is that there is going to be a big scoop, right?” One intern from Phoenix Age Entertainment asked Miranda. She was so engrossed in everything Miranda was telling them that she didn’t even realize she was asking too many questions-even the ones she shouldn’t ask. Miranda was particularly chatty today, which was a first.“Mmhmm!” Miranda nodded in assent. The young lady’s colleague added enviously, “The boss has such a beautiful love story. I wonder what gave those three people the courage to challenge Bella Grey. Now, they’re paying for it in a cold cell somewhere. Tsk!” Miranda liked where the conversation was going, and how the interns were suddenly so relaxed around her. She always acted professionally around them, hence, the poor souls were always on edge. Now, she needed them as relaxed as possible. Now that the boss’ assistant invited them to have a chance of a lifetime meeting in a hotel, the two couldn’t say no. They didn’t even expect th
Selene woke up with a silly smile on her lips. Her naughtiness at play once again. The previous night, Declan didn't punish her enough, as he felt that she needed to rest. She had a packed schedule, and he had no plans of interfering with it by fucking her till she couldn't move anymore. On Selene's side, she needed him to claim her body as fiercely as he could, since she was suddenly too horny to be ignored. “Last night, you wanted me to sleep, so you starved me. If you don't feed me now, I might just go out in search of…” She thought Declan was sleeping, hence she chose to tease him till she woke up. However, as soon as her hand got to his hard dick, he flung his eyes open, startling her. “You were saying?” Declan asked in a gruff voice, catching Selene off-guard. “No. No. Nothing. I was just spewing nonsense. I didn't…” “Well, be careful what you wish for, young lady. You need to clear your schedule for the day, because I am going to punish you enough to keep you in this bed
