Throughout the entire night, Damon was completely drained from accompanying John on his medical checkup. He was busy for a long while. When Celeste called him, John was undergoing an MRI scan while Leah cried outside. He was feeling irritable, so he ended the call in a rush. It was normal for a cancer patient's health condition to deteriorate. That was because cancer cells would spread in patients with late-stage cancer. But Leah was in such a bad mental state that he could only accompany John in her place. Exhausted, he only left the hospital when it was 9:00 pm. He drove home alone. He didn't know if Celeste was already asleep. Damon then remembered that she had called in the afternoon as if she had to tell him about something important. So as he waited for the red light to turn green, he tried to call her up. He only realized something was wrong when he saw the countless notifications on WhatsApp. Why would Celeste be dealing with Jonah? How could that old bastard dare t
He should've let her talk to him. If he did, she wouldn't have ended up in such a dangerous situation. Celeste merely leaned against the headboard. She tried to recall what happened before she blacked out. She thought about how it started and ended. She could only remember how Winston appeared at the most crucial moment. He saved her from that demon. On the other hand, Damon was accompanying John with Leah! "Haha, thanks for showing up despite being so busy. Don't worry, I won't die. I don't need your care as much as a cancer patient does. You should go." Celeste smiled coldly. She said this while waving Damon away. "Celeste, I made a mistake and left you in danger. But don't drag anyone irrelevant into this." Damon knew that she was still angry. Seeing how weak she was, he explained to her patiently. He thought that she should get a checkup done during the daytime so that there wouldn't be any negative complications. As for Jonah Radcliffe … Viciousness flashed across Damo
Jonah arrived at where he and Shannon were staying together. "Why are you back so early?" It was already midnight when Shannon heard the door slam open. When she went out to welcome him, she saw how swollen Jonah's face was from where he was hit. She was terrified. Jonah slapped Shannon with all his might. Shannon fell onto the ground. She let out a shriek in pain. "Shannon York, how dare you scheme against me!" The usual fake smile was no longer there on Jonah's face. He finally showed his true colors. "I didn't! Let me explain!" Seeing the look on Jonah's face, he certainly didn't get to do what he wanted. Covering her face which was hot from being slapped, Shannon claimed that she was innocent. After spending some time lying on the ground, she struggled to get up. "That's not true at all!" "Not true? You told me that Damon doesn't care for Celeste at all. That's bullshit!" Jonah's eyes were all bruised from being punched so badly. He had been publicly embarrassed.
The moment Celeste woke up, she called Winston to thank him. Winston had just moved to Taverdale to expand his business not long ago. Yet, he beat up Jonah for her sake. This might affect him negatively in the future. She felt bad for this. But Winston was unbothered. He even joked in their call, "If you're so grateful, remember to spare some time and buy me a meal next time." "Of course I will!" Celeste was much more relieved because of his relaxed attitude. Then, she washed up and went to see Lawrence. She didn't know Damon didn't head to the company either. He had gone out of his way to bring the important files back home to work on them. Damon was looking at the bidding documents for a project in the study when he heard noises from the bedroom. Then, he heard someone walking down the stairs. "Edna, I'll be eating outside for lunch. You don't have to prepare food for me." Celeste quickly changed in the walk-in wardrobe. She then came out and spoke to Edna, who was busy
He was so angry that he skipped the foreplay and went inside her roughly. Celeste's resistance felt like nothing to Damon. When he finally got frustrated at what she was doing, he took his tie off and tied her hands above her head. He knew that she had said all of that just to make him angry. But he was an extremely possessive man especially when it was related to Celeste. The thought of how Winston and Lawrence treated her so well drove Damon crazy. Celeste wasn't someone who'd let another do whatever he wanted to her. When she felt some pain, she got angry too and bit his neck hard. She bit him with all her might. It hurt Damon's neck. But he merely stopped for a second before continuing with what he was doing. Nothing could stop him. Celeste only let go of his neck after she tasted blood in her mouth. "You're a bastard, Damon," she scolded him hoarsely. "I'll be a bastard just for today." Damon lowered his head and attacked her lips. The next morning, they both s
Damon was someone with well-executed plans. In just a week, Celeste found out what he meant on the Ferris wheel. Liam passed a stack of property deeds and keys to Celeste. "What are these?" Damon was on a business trip, so Celeste was home alone during the weekend. When she saw Liam carrying a whole bag of property deeds, she was taken aback. "Mr. Bishop said that you like the Golden Nexus, so he bought the whole building for you," Liam said. He pulled out a pile of signed agreements. "There are twenty floors in this building and forty offices. Half of them are rented out. Here are the rental contracts. You should keep them safe." Damon actually bought the super-expensive Golden Nexus just for her as a gift! Celeste accepted the contracts, her hands trembling slightly. Jonah had paid her 300 million dollars as damages a few days ago. Although she accepted the money in the name of Prestige, after deducting the 100 million dollars as payment for the business deal, the rest
"Damon does treat me quite well." Celeste took a picture of that stack of property deeds and shared it with Megan. "But would I seem pretentious if I said that I'm not interested in money?" "I know you the best. You really aren't interested in money," Megan replied. "But I've been facing a similar issue these days." What did she mean? Did something happen? Celeste became curious. Her eyes lit up as she started a video call with Megan. "Tell me about it!" Did her hot best friend finally meet 'the one'? "It's Mr. Belasco. I cleared his bill the last time he came to my club for drinks. But he guaranteed an entire year of revenue for Hooch Trading as thanks." Hooch Trading was an alcohol trading company under Megan's management. Their business mainly focused on the alcoholic beverages that were popular amongst youngsters. Their drinks ranged from cheaper ones such as Jagermeister to expensive ones like Cognac. They had almost every kind of alcohol one could think of. The amou
When Damon went on a business trip, Celeste could barely get used to falling asleep without him by her side. Soon, she was having insomnia again. When she lay down around 9:00 pm, she fell into a restless sleep an hour later. She woke up from a nightmare at 11:00 pm. With her eyes wide open, she could no longer fall back asleep. She pulled her phone out so that she could look at Twitter. She received a notification. It was a friend request on WhatsApp. The person in the profile picture and her name were familiar. It was none other than Leah. She accepted her request and sent a question mark to her. "Celeste, is that you?" She sent a screenshot from Twitter over to Celeste. The caption was "Bumped into a beautiful couple on the Ferris wheel. Didn't manage to capture their faces from the front, but they were stunning!" In the picture, Damon's hand was on Celeste's waist as they walked out of the pod. The two were talking about something. Their foreheads were touching. It
