As the clock kept going forward and soon the lunch break came. Celeste lazily got up from her seat and started gathering things in her purse to go to the nearest cafe to eat her lunch. She didn't eat much at breakfast so she was very hungry. When she came out of her office room she found Diana already standing at the entrance, waiting for her. Diana noticed Celeste's presence and waved at her happily. Celeste smiled before making her way towards her.
"Where's Louisa?" Celeste asked as soon as she reached where Diana was waiting for her. Diana frowned before answering.
"I don't know. I haven't seen her since morning." Diana replied while keeping her phone in her purse. Celeste frowned and nodded before they both started moving towards the exit.

The next day Celeste woke up in the morning a bit late. She couldn’t sleep properly last night because of the previous night's event. She hurriedly got up from the bed and noticed Liam was already up but wasn’t present in the room. Thinking he was downstairs she hurriedly went to the washroom to freshen up. She brushed her teeth, took a warm shower and then got changed into a pair of the thick maroon sweaters and white leggings. She didn’t blow dry her hair instead left it to air dry. As it was Saturday Tracy wasn’t going to come. Celeste told Tracy not to come on weekends as she would be home and could manage everything on her own. She urged her to take care of her sick husband properly. When Celeste reached downstairs, she found Liam sitting in the living room and reading the newspaper while drinking his coffee. He was
Liam rang the doorbell and they both waited for someone to open the door for them. Soon one of the mansion's helpers opened the door for them and then greeted them with a smile. Liam nodded at him with a smile while Celeste greeted the middle-aged man enthusiastically. Hearing their voice, Clarissa who was working in the kitchen came out to check. Her face immediately bloomed into a beautiful smile when she found her son and daughter in law moving into the living room. "Celeste! Liam! You guys are here!" She beamed in happiness. Celeste turned back hearing Clarissa's voice, smiled immediately and ran into Carissa's arms to hug her. "Mom! I missed you so much!" She said while hugging Clarissa like a baby. Clarissa smiled while hugging her back.
After the incident in the living room, Celeste excused herself and went straight to Liam's old bedroom in the mansion to get changed. She felt really upset. She tried to think positive and cheer herself up but all in vain. She had been married to Liam for seven months already. It took her only around three months to fall in love with him. But what about him? Couldn’t he just defend her in front of Amy? She sighed and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She then took out a fresh pair of clothes and headed straight to the washroom to freshen up. After changing she put out a pair of fresh clothes for Liam on the bed and headed downstairs to help her Clarissa in the kitchen. When she got downstairs she found Liam, Rihanna, Amy and Rafael chatting happily among themselves. Liam was the first one to notice her presence there. When their eyes met Celeste passed him a smile and t
It was almost midnight and Celeste was resting her head on Liam's bare chest while listening to his steady heartbeat peacefully. They hadn’t slept yet after the passionate lovemaking. They had been making love the whole afternoon and then just had dinner and spent some time with their family and returning to their room again to engage in their pending work. Liam had one arm around Celeste while his other hand was busy caressing her hair. Celeste had her eyes closed as she silently laid on his arms. All of a sudden Liam stopped caressing her hair and leaned backwards. Celeste opened her eyes and took a glimpse at what he was doing. She found him taking out something from his drawers and went back to her previous position. She wanted to sleep as she was already very exhausted. She even lost the track of time. Celeste was slowly drifting away to sleep when all of sud
In the evening the Rodriguez arranged a small get together with their close friends and family members. In the meantime Celeste was talking to Diana over the phone and as she had called to greet her for her birthday. She invited Diana and Evan in the evening. Diana gladly agreed to come before they hung up the call. Celeste was about to go downstairs when someone knocked on the bedroom door. She said a come in when the door opened and Clarissa entered the room holding some boxes and packets. Celeste got up and smiled at her. "Mom, what's the matter?" She asked confused when she found Clarissa placing everything on her bed. Hearing her question Clarissa looked at her and smiled before answering. "There's a few dresses and jewellery that I have brought for you. Come check them out and tell me if you like them or not." Clarissa said
Four and half months later… Time flew at its own pace without any care of anyone. Summer, Spring and Fall all came and went away and now it was Winter's turn. Fortunately or unfortunately this January, it didn’t snow in Toronto. Even though the cold was here but the snow had yet to come. Celeste who was sitting on the table near the window of the tall building smiled, looking at the scene in front of her. Diana was dancing crazily with Mathew at the table while everyone else was cheering up for them. There was loud music going on in the background and everyone was busy dancing, drinking, eating and laughing. Celeste took a sip of her juice while watching Diana's craziness. She had called her a few times to join her but Celeste had refused every time with laughter. She didn’t want to be involved in her craziness. She was too shy for that. It was the day of their annua
Celeste returned from Elora two days before her and Liam's first wedding anniversary. She was excited about that day. These past few days she had missed him terribly. She once even thought to return early just to see him but she couldn’t compromise with her grandma's health. She was glad that it was only seasonal flu and nothing serious. But she was still weak and Celeste couldn’t just leave her beloved grandma alone. She even insisted a few times for her grandma to come with her but that stubborn old lady didn’t listen to her at all. She didn’t want to go out of Elora at all. Celeste knew why. Her grandma loved her grandpa so much which was why she swore to live in Elora with her husband's memories. So all the arguments Celeste had with her grandma about her moving in with her in Toronto were all in vain. She didn’t even budge. Celeste sighed thinking of Marielle's stubbornness.
Celeste got out of her wild nervous thoughts when the front door unlocked and opened. She hurriedly got up from the sofa and turned on the lights. "Surprise! Happy First Anniversary!" She excitedly greeted Liam, who was standing at the door with a surprised expression on his face, with a huge smile. She then ran directly towards him and tiptoed before placing her soft lips on his to kiss him. She was so excited that she didn’t even notice him not kissing her back. After kissing him softly on his lips Celeste wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "Happy anniversary, Baby." She whispered in his neck. She then broke the hug and pulled the motionless Liam who had a blank expression on his face with her. Nevertheless, Liam followed her quietly as she took him where she had arranged the candlelight dinner.
Three months later…Celeste slowly walked around in the living room with her huge baby bump. She was wearing only leggings and a crop top. Her whole body was aching as she tried to walk around slowly by holding Liam. Liam massaged her back to give her some comfort."Drink some juice, baby! Liam said while holding a can of juice in front of her mouth. Celeste took a little sip and then averted her mouth from it. That time they were all preparing to go to the hospital for Celeste's labor. She was already in pain. Clarissa and Andrew were with them at their home helping them to arrange a few things."Everything is done. The driver is waiting outsid
Two months later…It was Liam's birthday. Celeste had arranged a Family gathering for Liam's birthday since Liam didn’t like parties much. Everyone had arrived including Rafael, Amelia and Ronin. Sharon and Rihanna were also here. They were all enjoying themselves in the garden where a small family picnic was arranged."Amelia! Where's Ronin and Rafael?" Celeste asked while looking for Rafael and Ronin. Hearing her voice Amelia turned around and smiled."They are with Liam. I have arranged everything. Here's both colourgun." Amelia said gesturing towards the small area they had arranged to surprise Liam. For Liam's birthday, Celest
Celeste was engrossed in cooking in the kitchen while humming a Shania Twain's song when all of sudden two hands wrapped around her waist and hugged her from the behind. For a moment Celeste was startled but soon she relaxed when she recognised the familiar touch."Liam! What are you doing? Can't you see I'm cooking? Let me go." Celeste said while trying to free herself from Liam's grip."No. Let me just hold you for a second." Liam said while making his grip tight on her and burying his head in her neck."Ok. The breakfast is almost ready. I will just serve it in a while." Celeste said while tasting her porridge.
"At least now tell me where you are taking me?" Celeste asked again in an impatient voice making Liam chuckle. Hearing him chuckle at her misery Celeste couldn’t help but glare at him even though she couldn’t see because of the blindfold he had put on her eyes."Just ten more minutes, I promise." Liam said with a smile as he held her hands. The driver who was driving the car smiled at himself as he heard their conversation."You have said that from the past three hours." Celeste said in a childish voice as she slowly leaned towards Liam and he held her close to him."It's been only 20 minutes Celeste." Liam looked at her before he answered
"Well then listen. I didn’t want to marry you either but my grandma wanted me to. I didn't have any problem with the contract either as I understood you were also in the same situation as me. But after I married you everything slowly changed. Your family became my own and you too. I had no one to call mine from my childhood. I had no friends because my grandma was afraid people would hurt me and didn’t let me go out much. I had only my grandpa and grandma. When grandpa died, I still had my grandma. Then you came into my life and living with you made me fall in love with you. I fell in love with your gentleness, your kindness, your beautiful face, your smile and everything. I thought maybe you at least liked me. So I decided to plan a surprise for you and confess to you. But what had I got? A divorce paper! I didn’t know you would still hold into that contract but you weren’t wrong so I couldn’t blame you. You were cl
In Liam's room Celeste was looking through her luggage for her medicine. She was sure she had packed them all but for some unknown reason she couldn’t find those in her bags. She again carefully looked through her every single clothes but still nothing. She heaved a sigh and threw the clothes on the bed."Where have I put those?" She mumbled to herself."Are you looking for these?" A deep voice came from behind startling Celeste completely. Celeste put her hands on her chest before turning around to look at the person."Liam! You scared me. Wait! Is that my medicine? What are you doing with them? Give them back to me." Celeste exclaimed when she noticed the medicine she was looking for the past half an hour was on Liam's hand. For a moment Celeste became sc
"Celeste!" The moment Celeste came downstairs, she was engraved in a tight motherly hug from Clarissa."Oh honey, Congratulations! I can't explain how happy I'm for you. I didn’t know you two are back together already. I was praying to God to give my stupid son some sort of sanity but I didn’t know he would hear my prayer so past. I still can't believe it. You are pregnant. I'm going to be a grandma for a second time. God! I'm so happy.! Clarissa said while crying tears of joy. She broke the hug and looked at Celeste who had a soft smile on her face."Thank you mom!" She simply replied with a smile while giving Clarissa a kiss on her cheek. Clarissa smiled with a grin and took a step back to let Andrew, who was standing behind her to hug
Celeste slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them with her fingers to get rid of the sleepiness. She didn’t know why her body felt light and didn’t realise when she fell asleep in the car. When she woke up she invented herself in Liam's room in the mansion. Liam must have brought her there and put her there.Celeste heaved a sigh and felt her whole body aching. She didn’t realise how long she had been asleep. It must be because of the sedatives.After stretching her body to get rid of the pain Celeste decided to head directly towards the shower to freshen up and get rid of the hospital smell. After entering the washroom she decided to take a shower instead. She stood under the warm shower before closing her eyes. She let her body get drenched as slowly her mind started to wander around what had happened earlier.She was pregnant!This time for real.But why now? She didn’t want to get pregnant. She didn’t want to give birth to anyone
"What did you say?" Liam asked while taking a step back. His voice was calm. To calm to be exact. Celeste didn’t look at his instead she focused her gaze at the floor. Liam carefully looked at her, hoping he heard her wrong. But looking at her face, his heart clenched. He didn’t hear her wrong. Her face looked determined. She wasn’t joking. She actually dared to say that."You heard me, Liam. I want an abortion. I don't want to keep this child." Celeste said while getting up from where she was sitting. Her face was blank. Her voice was soft yet determined. Liam kept looking at her, trying to read her emotion. At that moment he wanted to tear open his head and see what was going inside her head. What was she thinking? The doctor who was standing at a corner till now, hurried made his way out of the room, giving the couple
