The secret is out!!!
“Dad…?” Declan called in a careful voice. He wanted to hear what he just said a second time. He wanted to be sure that he wasn’t dreaming. He needed to be certain that he wasn’t a dreamer who could finally wake up to the harsh realities of life. He finally wanted to confirm that he wasn’t a sinner who didn’t just sleep with his niece, but he also couldn’t get her out of his mind, no matter how much he tried to. A huge blow had just been dealt to Declan, but unlike other people, he was rather happy that he wasn’t a true Grayson. It only meant that he was free to do anything he wanted. To be with whoever he wanted, even if it was Celeste’s daughter. “I’m free to date Selene. I can be with her without worrying about a thing. I just need him to confirm this. I need to be sure…” With a suppressed grin, Declan called out once more, “Dad? Can you repeat everything you just said?” He questioned with an expectant gaze, and Paddy could only release a huge sigh and remark, “I’m sor
“Chloe…” Declan called out to his daughter as soon as the line got connected. She was glad to receive her father's call but could also tell that something was amiss when she heard his suppressed voice over the phone. After exchanging brief pleasantries, he quickly cut to the chase, “I cannot reach Selene on the phone. Do you have any idea why?” He sounded calm and collected, but Chloe knew it was just the calm before the storm. She knew the two had already broken up, so, she couldn’t understand why he would complain of being unable to reach her. “Dad, I thought you two already broke up. Why do you want to reach out to Selene?” Chloe wasn’t happy that her father kept the issue of their complicated relationship away from her. Still, she realized it would have been a challenging topic to breach, so, she didn’t hold it against any of them. However, that didn’t prevent her from pulling her father’s legs a little. Besides, he was hard on her when she messed up some time ago. Lo
“So, what do you think we should do now? My manager didn't say anything about the artist pulling out in the long run. I'd like to know, was it because of the money?” As Nathan asked this, he had a shocked expression on his face, unable to understand why a newbie would have issues with the pay. Most established artists in the industry would even rush to be his backup singer. However, the unpalatable experience with them compelled him to pull away, making everything strictly business between them. “Tsk!Let's just say, he got too greedy for his own good.” Selene responded disinterestedly, her nonchalant attitude not escaping Nathan's eyes. “So, who do you have in mind?I'm sure you have more than one candidate in your agency, right?After all, you are not the hottest artist at the moment for no reason.” Nathan said with a wink. He wanted Selene to complete the process and help him get someone she could trust. The project was going to be a long one, and he had plans of going on
“I don’t believe this. Why would Selene have another attack at this time of all times?” Chloe’s heart was in her mouth as she thought about the commotion that may have ensued at the restaurant. Funny enough, Nathan chose her Dad’s restaurant to have a reunion with Selene, and she just couldn’t understand the coincidence. She is certain she would have refused the offer if it was her, but Selene just happened to be one headstrong and daring entity that wouldn’t give a fu*k about what unimportant people had to say about her. Since she already broke up with Declan, she had no plans of worrying or even caring about what he had to say. After all, his restaurant was as much a public place as a shopping mall. There was no way she was going to hide from the young man because they broke up. “Shit! Why is his car here? Don’t tell me…” As soon as Chloe pulled into the parking lot of her father’s restaurant, she spotted her father’s Cadillac parked in the garage. She knew at a glance th
Declan's gaze on Boris urged him to step on the gas. He had no time to waste, as he needed to satisfy his woman as soon as possible. “How did you cope all this while, Bunny?How did you survive all the attacks before now?”Declan’s gaze bore into her, but Selene was unaware of it. She only knew she needed help as soon as possible, and even though she roamed her hands all over his body, she was still in a daze about who was holding her.After all, Declan had stayed away from the love of his life for so long that at a point in time, he felt he was going to die without her. Holding her in his arms right now gave him so much peace that he could just keep her that way, resting in his arms for eternity. However, they had an important business to attend to.It didn't help things when he cast his mind back and realized he was her uncle. However, in light of the current revelations, Declan knew for a fact that nothing could stop him from being with Selene anymore. Not even Selene herself cou
“Shit! OMG! What have you done, Selene! Shit! Who did you end up with last night?” Selene reprimanded herself for being too careless and falling into the hands of a random man. Again. She met Declan in a fit of drunken stupor, on the night her scumbag boyfriend dumped her. It was her twentieth birthday, but he didn’t even give a damn. Now, ecstasy kicked in once more and she ended up in the arms of another stranger, causing her to feel totally cheap and slutty. Even though she already had a headache, she believed strongly that a more painful ache was coming her way soon enough. “Tell me I didn’t end up with Nathan last night. Fu*k! That would be too awkward. Shit!!! Shit! Shit! Shit! How on earth do I face him after today?” When she raised her head and roamed her gaze throughout the place, Selene’s brows were suddenly drawn together in confusion, wondering if she was just seeing things. The shape and decorations in the bedroom looked just as she had remembered it,
“Look at me, Selene.” Declan called out to her for the umpteenth time, but she wouldn’t budge. After the passionate reunion they had earlier on, Selene couldn’t help feeling cheaper by the day. Her thoughts were filled with what she would have done if he had not been there, and the realization of him being her uncle worsened everything. As a result, when Selene finally woke up from her long and peaceful sleep, she was pissed with the young man lying beside her. Meanwhile, her sleep quality had taken a dive for the worse since the two broke up. This was the best and most peaceful sleep she had in a long time.“If you don’t open your eyes this instant, I wouldn’t mind taking your silence as a cue to devour you once more. We'll both like that, no?” Declan declared shamelessly, a coy smirk lacing his lips. He knew she was going to fall for his antics. True to his assertion, no sooner had the words left his lips did Selene’s eyes flew open in a panic. Unable to stare him in the face
“Are you handing me the divorce documents or not?” Selene fired impatiently, after watching him being silent for a while. When she saw that he rather had a smile on his face, she was rendered speechless, wanting nothing else but to walk out and never look back at him. “Mr. Grayson…” Selene called out once more, finally getting his attention. Declan only gave her his brigtest smile and declared, “I guess it’s my karma, huh?Having you use those exact same words on me. Tsk!” Without any further delay, Selene asked to be sure once more, “Are you holding me here against my wish?Am I perhaps being kidnapped?If the answer is no…”Before she could complete her statement, Declan quickly made way and silently watched her leave without even sparing him a glance. Meanwhile, he didn’t hesitate to alert her that his feelings still hadn’t changed. “I love you, Bunny.”Selene’s steps didn’t even falter in the slightest. Though his words caused a sweet sensation to spread throughout her bo
