Chapter 43
The past
His heart was about to burst off its rib cage from the amount of continuous consternation he suffered since the moment he received the catastrophic news about his fiance. But finishing the episode of Tom was necessary and of pivotal importance. Anthony taught him a good lesson and then raced through the entrance of Holy city hospital.
His eyes search for the reception flurriedly while drops of sweat settled on his forehead even on the biting cold night of mid-December.
He slaps the desk on tenterhooks unable to form the right words to gain the attention of the middle-aged lady sitting at the entrance. She raised her head to embrace the attention and her eyes were on stalks to receive the striking hot billionaire standing right in front of her. Anthony, one of the handsome and famous Rodriguez brothers could only be any woman's dream after watchi
Chapter 44The PastCeleste walked into the washroom to finish nature's call. A man was already behind the door. Using a chloroform he fainted Celeste so that she wouldn't scream. The kidnapping was to be done with pin drop silence. No chances can be taken regarding Anthony. He is extremely smart and extra caring towards Celeste.Tom had observed that he wouldn't leave her presence though she had kicked him away from her room. “He had started operating business through the hospital. The doctor who had previously talked to me so sweetly regarding Celeste is now giving me cold feet. Everything is the result of his manipulative mastermind.” Tom was beyond angry while talking to Dave regarding Anthiny.“Be careful, he is worse than a cobra.” Dave cautioned.“I had engaged my best men in kidnapping Celeste from th
Chapter 45There was a knock at the door. New maid Philomena arrived with the tray filled food for Celeste along with a sweet dish. “Good morning sir and ma'am.”“Who are you? Who allowed you to enter inside?” Anthony asked irritatedly.“I'm sorry sir, my mother has not been feeling well since Christmas. She had chest pain and the doctor confirmed it as a heart attack. So I will be working instead of her. This is my identity card. After showing this the security man allowed me inside the estate.” She placed the card in his hands.Anthony checked the identity of the young girl. “You have many features of your mother. Okay you can continue to work here. And tell your mom I will be sending her five million which would take care of her medical expenditure.”“Thank you so much sir. My mom and I w
Chapter 46Dave pressed the remote but nothing happened in the supermarket. Everything was going on normally. The manager was surprised. He was waiting outside shortly to see the area in flames. Nevertheless Celeste walked out just like the way she came in and the shopping store was intact.*****“Hi, Sasha, how are you?” Celeste called her friend on her way home.“Oh My God! You are alive. Your phone appears to be dead because no matter how many times I call, I get the same response, - “This number is not available.”Celeste laughed loudly. “My phone broke and Anthony brought me a new one. That is why I called you, so that you can save my new number.”For the next half an hour Celeste kept talking to Sasha updating her about her relationship with Anthony. “I have good news fo
Chapter 47“What?” Anthony got up from the bed at once in shock.Celeste shivered with fear by his sudden and terrorized intonation.Anthony only then realized Celeste was with him. “Excuse me, I have to take this call.” He gestured to the phone in his hands and pacified her with his eyes which went closed for longer moments. Walking out of the bedroom, he shut the door behind him so that she wouldn't hear his conversation with Rudolph.“Who did that?” He shouted on the phone once he was out of the bedroom.“Sir, the first suspicion is like you expect on Tom and Dave. We are already in the process of hunting for a proof to shut them out of this earth.”“I want this investigation to happen as soon as possible. This is regarding Celeste and I don't take chances.” Anthony was firm and commanding, exuding his supremacy being the mafia
Chapter 48The next morning Anthony called Rudolph and told him about the new maid Philomena. “Though I don't suspect her, you can start with the investigation. We don't know who turns out to be what.”“Sure sir, I'm on my way to meet your domestic manager and collect details about Philomena.” Rudolph informed him.He had hardly finished the call with Rudolph when Kyle called him. “Good morning to you sir. I'm here to give you some very important news. We have taken the manager of Palmart into custody where the bomb blast was planned. After a long endurance of the third degree treatment he finally opened his lips to tell us about the people behind the blast. They are Dave Hawkins and Tom Mac Grath.”“We can't afford to allow them to live anymore. Catch them as early as possible because, as long as they live, Celeste's life
Chapter 49Anthony wanted Celeste to talk. Talk at least something to him and let the grief out of her. Finally after an age long deafening silence she spoke and the earth shook under his feet making him spell shocked.“Who was the girl in the video which my father forwarded regarding you? Did you have relations with other women while you were dating me?”“I don't understand you. What video?” Anthony asked her, perplexed.Celeste unlocked her mobile and showed him the video where he came to break her dad’s leg after fucking a girl. (Reference of this in chapter 23)“Who do you think is in the video?” Anthony was extremely serious while asking Celeste the question.Celeste shook her head going clueless.“I'm able to see, the face of the girl is not seen i
Chapter 50“You are still here? Didn't the manager inform you? Get out of my house.” Anthony snarled, pointing to the exit to Philomena.With Anthony’s bellow, it was clear for Philomena that her hooliganism was caught. Her face turned pale in a matter of seconds. Butterflies rolled in her belly with trepidation. Philomena peered at Anthony from the corner of her eyes. “I'm sorry, sir.” She said weakly already lost with her confidence.“Sorry? You're sorry Philomena? What would you have done if Celeste was not in this world because of you? I trusted you and allowed you to get into my house without any legal formalities or submissions and you came out to be a miscreant. I'm not killing you which is a big favor I'm doing. If I trace you again anywhere within this country, I am going to kill you with my bare hands. Tell your mother just because you are
Chapter 51On time, her phone began to ring. It was Sasha. “Hello dear, I will be there in Mobo restaurant within fifteen minutes and tonight we can have a girl’s night out.” Celeste threw a glare towards Anthony with a look ‘could-you- dare- fight- me- on- this?“Yay!” Sasha screamed on the other end and Anthony had to close his ears for the tweaking sound heard on the phone.“Are you mad? You're not going to move out of the house. Your life is in danger. He pronounced, swiftly chasing her. But did she care?Half an hour later she slowly got down the stairs making a ‘click’ sound with each step she got down. To provoke him she wore a red frock with a low neckline that hardly reached the middle of her thighs. Her face was caked with make-up, matching red lipstick and high pencil heels.Antho
Being the live witness of everything Natalie endured, Dave suffered a panic attack thinking of how torturous his death would be. While he was suffering the palpation, Anthony called the tattoo artist. He could be very vicious when the convict is a conniving swine. And Dave had invoked his black eye by bringing him a lot of problems."Do as I say." He called the blind man who was waiting for his call outside the room. "Carve the words I say on his forehead - Anthony is innocent."Dave yelled loudly sizzling like a snake when the needle of the tattoo pen pinched his skin."Do you know Dave, your tattoo artist Mr. Elliott is a blind man and his first experiment is on you. Elliott loves drawing but he could not get an opportunity to work anywhere because of his handicap. I encourage talent in every area and decided to realize his long time wish. Look how beautifully he painted my words on your forehead." Anthony showed Dave a mirror. He was havin
Chapter 83"I can understand, I will wait for you to adjust to the new situations." Celeste pouted, spreading her arms for Anthony.He walked into them and sighed looking down at her slightly visible baby bump.Celeste giggled. "It's only a baby, not an atom bomb to hurt you. You're hesitant even to hug me. What would you do when my tummy grows to the size of a football?"Celeste joked but for Anthony it was not even near to funny. On the contrary it was one of the most horrific things he was about to experience after being born.***"Anthony, I want you to send that bastard and bitch to the netherworld. But before that I want them to clean the dirt they spread against Rodriguez. We are a reputed family who have been in international and overseas business for generations. Some Tom Dick and Harry dare not talk nonsense about us in public and try to corrode our fame. You need to teach these grinches a good lesson so that one
Chapter 82"She is pregnant. Mr Rodriguez, I hope this is gonna be happy news to you." The doctor looked at him doubtfully after she saw the dull features of Anthony.The news came to him like a shock. Anthony did not know what to say. He was not planning for a baby so soon. Though he had experienced Celeste's mood swings and nauseousness off and on, they had taken preventives. He trusted contraceptives more than his intuition and they have failed him. There were exceptions for every issue. It was the truth Anthony had to remind himself. He forcefully spread his lips when he saw reels turning in her head. "How long is she due?"The young female doctor grinned. "She is two months and two weeks pregnant. In fact, double congratulations to you. You are going to be the father of twins."Damn it! Anthony felt like a blast happened in his body no sooner he heard the doctor's words. When he is apprehensive of having one firecracker at home, there are two on the
Chapter 81Each step she took forward Anthony’s heart began to beat faster. A naughty twinkle sequenced in her eyes which nobody would notice but for him. He knew the language of her optics. She was having a lot of fun in teasing him by not even giving him a glimpse of her. But damn the waiting was worth it! She looked like a fallen Angel.“It has been seven days, twenty two hours and five seconds since the last time I saw you. You played enough with me. Wait till my hands reach you, my little soon to be wife.” He whispered in her ears clandestinely and projected the same naughtiness she had in her eyes seconds ago. In a flash the twinkle in her blue irises died down as if caught by a wave. Tout de suite Anthony displayed a triumphant grin which now everyone could see.“Take care of my daughter. Otherwise I will break your bones.” Carson spoke with a smile putting Celeste's hand in his but Anthony did not miss the seriousness behind
Chapter 80"Don't worry mom. He is breathing. Let us take him to the hospital.""Daddy what happened to you?" Celeste cried. She brought a glass of water and sprinkled it on his face to get him conscious. But it had no result. He was lying there like a dead man.Anthony arrived on time. Celeste ran to him and fell in his arms. "Daddy" She cried on his chest showing her father who was laying there a few feet away unconsciously."Don't cry sweetheart." Anthony said in pain while wiping away the tears of Celeste. He can stand anything on earth but not her sorrow. She is his weakness as well as strength. "Nothing is going to happen to him." He tried to rejuvenate her courage and helped Saul to carry Carson to his car to take him to the hospital.Scarlett was sobbing throughout the way. "He is not a man who shares his sorrow with anyone. Before Celeste was born he suffered cancer and he managed to keep it a secret from me till the end until it was
Chapter 79Ariana, Charles’s wife Aliza, Henry’s wife Sania and his sister Edith came to Anthony’s house a week in advance to make the wedding preparations. The children were running around the house while playing. Festive atmosphere was spread everywhere. The house was filled with traffic like the 42 Times Square Junction in New York.“Uncle Anthony, when are you going to buy us planes? You promised you would buy them for Christmas. Christmas is fast approaching.” Asher, the eldest of all the cousins, asked Anthony with his head held up as if he was looking at the Eiffel tower. All the boys old and young starting from 9 months to 5 years surrounded Anthony in Asher’s support.To ease Asher from straining his neck in looking up at him Anthony kneeled before him to match his height. “Did uncle Anthony ever miss to keep his promise, young man?”Anthony waved the hand to one of his bodyguards who br
Chapter 78The private investigation and secret operations team of both Night Eagles and Gangs of Myriad are working on full scale in close cooperation to trace the culprit behind the catastrophe at Carson’s house. It was a huge human loss caused to their boss and the Gangs of Myriad mafia is not going to keep its hands folded.In the midst of chaos the wedding of Anthony and Celeste was planned. He suspects a mafia war very soon because the massacre in Carson’s home was not an easy one. Someone very powerful is behind this and it is the indication of huge disaster ahead. Anthony wants to make Celeste his woman as soon as possible because of the changing circumstances.With Goofy’s death Carson feared Scarlett would once again drown into depression. Luckily Celeste’s wedding came on time. Celeste made Anthony agree to her decision to stay with her parents. As a result Scarlett got over the loss of Goofy’s death pretty soon. &l
Chapter 77An hour agoA pearl of his sweat dropped on her forehead as his sperm spurted into her mouth similar to the fountain stream in the pond of water. A victorious grin crossed Celeste’s features before she wiped her mouth and looked at Anthony with triumph.Like fireflies which bring light in the no moon night, Anthony brought brightness in the glum life of Celeste. Today she has no shortness in happiness. “My beautiful spitfire, it is time to pay back for the naughty deed you just did. You take me to a euphoria and then stop your hands at work to make me beg? Not a good choice.” He winked at her with a snicker.Celeste rounded her lips like a little girl and looked at him scornful. She had no idea it is through these sorts of piques that she makes even as dangerous a mobster like Anthony Rodriguez who can kill people in a blink of an eye go crazy for her.“Do you know you are walking on thin ice by
Chapter 76Anthony had sent Kyle to the hospital where he got the DNA test done of Carson and Celeste.“Sir, I have gone to the laboratory. The hematopathologist who did the DNA test is bribed by an unknown source to tamper the result. He is in my custody now. The original result proves positive. DNA samples match more than 90%. This man with me has no information about the criminal. Should I kill him?”No sooner Kyle asked the question, the face of the physician turned red with fear. “Please do not kill me.” His voice came muffled because of the plaster pasted on his mouth.“He is paid twenty five thousand dollars through a wireless transfer for manipulating the result and sending it to you.” Kyle informed Anthony.“Fucking bastard!” Anthony murmured. “Find out the source from where the money went to him.”“I had already made the investigation, sir. Not much information
