“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
[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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“Hey Sunny, have you been waiting here for long? Apologies for the delay, babe. The Professor had so much for me to do that…” Selene began explaining why she was fifteen minutes late to the meeting she only knew about during her last class for the day. Her professor had tasked her to supervise a project that would determine whether they would pass or fail his program for the semester. “Cut the crap, you cheap slut!” He cut her off rudely, his voice a few octaves higher. It was as if he wanted everyone to hear him. “You are such a bold one, Selene. You kept me waiting here, while you took all the time in your Professor’s office doing God knows what. You think a simple apology can solve that?” Selene’s face turned pale when she heard what he had to say. She couldn’t believe her ears, as she wondered, “It’s only been fifteen minutes. Why is he getting so worked up?” Meanwhile, she cautioned in a gentle tone, “Watch your words, Sunny. What are you implying?” Her composure rather irked
“The bastard even used my card to pay for his orders at the restaurant!” Selene mentioned casually as if it was someone else’s story and not hers. Chloe couldn’t believe everything the young lady had just said. She thought her situation was peculiar, but this experience seemed quite similar to hers. She couldn’t help herself from asking, “So, what did you do about the card? You still left it for him after everything?” The two had spoken about so much amid tears that they already felt like besties. Selene smiled meaningfully, an evil smirk lacing her lips, “Tsk!” She then reached for her handbag and responded in jest, “I have my card just where it belongs. He should be paying the bills with his ego as we speak.” With their words coming out as incoherent slurs, the two girls laughed their hearts out once more. “Barman…” Selene called out enthusiastially. At this moment, her head was only filled with thoughts of how to drown her sorrows in more alcohol. Using an indifferent tone, s

“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
