Chapter 8

Alma Nelson was her mother, she was her only friend even when she was married and her husband never cared about her. Celine knew she would not take it if something were to happen to her.

After about two hours of waiting while anxious, the door opened and one of the doctors wearing scrubs approached her then announced that the operation was successful and her mother would be better after some times. He explained that she had to be put under a temporary coma so that she could recover well.

Tears of happiness couldn’t stop flowing on her face, she had lost countless times she had shed tears in the last 24 hours and this was the best news ever. Her mother was finally going to be cured, she will wake up and give her that sweet hug she used to.

”Oh…doctor thank you so much, you don’t know how much this news have brought joy to my hopeless life. I promise I will pay the rest of the money as soon as I can.” There was hope and she meant it, as soon as she was done visiting her mother she will go back to Jared to fulfill her part. She was going to do anything possible to get the rest of the money.

“Don’t worry about that, your mother have passed through the worst phase in her life. Alma is a fighter and she will be fine.” The doctor patted her shoulders and comforted her

She didn’t miss to appreciate him by smiling but then again she missed Alma so much and she was in a desperate need to see her and touch her. Being in a comma, she understood that she might not be able to hear or respond to her but she didn’t mind as long as she was close to her. “Can I see her?”

The doctor was pleased as he pointed towards the ICU room “Go ahead. Just talk to her so that she could feel loved. I am sure she will recognize your voice.” He was just thrilled to see happiness in the poor girl’s face. Last time they talked she was devastated and was almost giving up and it was an honour to witness the miracle.

“Thank you “

Celine entered the room and found her mother still attached to so many tubes. She looked pale and frail even the beautiful smile she used to give her was no longer there.

She didn’t hesitate but hurriedly went to her side and gave her a tight hug and apologized to her emotionally “Oh Mum, I miss you so much. I am sorry I couldn’t get the money soon but I know you will understand my position. Please wake up soon. I will be waiting with wide arms.”

She brushed her hair softly and kissed her forehead before remembering that it was almost 9PM in the night and she had a date with Jared. “Mum I have to go but I will come back tomorrow to see you.”

Even though some how she knew that she was not listening to her, she missed her scolding back then when she had to explain everywhere she went. She will always say “Celine Honey, always tell me where you are going so I can know and in case you are unable to come back home on time, please call and tell me”

Celine couldn’t take it anymore and with tears on her eyes she turned and left the room to go face other problems.

But when she reached the hospital exit suddenly a black car appeared out from nowhere and instructed her to get in. The man was unmistakably Jared, she recognized him by his handsome face. No one can mistake that for somebody else.

“Are you spying on me again?” she asked and Jared didn’t make any effort to answer him. Instead he gave her a dark stare and proceeded to show her the door. ”would you rather I force you or would you get in by your own free will.” He stated with a no nonsense look.

“I am not in the mood” Celine snarled back at him” I am only going to enter in to this car because I want to play my part and not because you are forcing me. I wonder why you are so mean to me like this couldn’t you have chosen another day?”

With a deep impatient voice he muttered “You are my property and I have to look after you well or else someone will snatch you away the same way I am doing to Nolan.”

Now that’s she was close to him her body was already warming up, desire was building inside her. She has been the only thing on his mind the whole day. He didn’t want to waste time with talking nonsense because his groin was already getting excited.

It wouldn’t behave however how much he tried to shift positions, that has been how he has been throughout the day, as horny as hell and now that she was here all he wanted was to bury himself deep inside her and feel what they had yesterday.

“The damn woman was unaware of what she was doing to him” he thought as he shot her a glance. Suddenly he realized that she was crying and her eyes were red and swollen. He wiped the single tear that was falling from her eyes and whispered.

“Sweetheart, who made you cry. Tell me and I will beat the hell out of them.” At least the man was concerned about her unlike Nolan who knew how the day would be hard on her and coldly left her alone. He didn’t even call to ask how she was feeling or if she was okay.

“I am very sure that now that I am not at home watching his moves, he has already gone to one of his mistresses.” She thought while looking at Jared with sad eyes.

When he saw how lost she looked, he wished to take away her sorrows. He was already a bastard towards her and now the least he could do was to comfort her “It is about your mother? How was the operation? You should have told me to accompany you and help you with whatever you need.”
