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
When Damon called her again, Celeste had switched off her phone. He did carry Leah's suitcase for her when they were at the airport. Everything would be fine if he told her the truth. But hiding the fact that Leah had visited him seemed to have made the matter worse. "Damon, I've reached home safely." Leah happened to send a text to him through WhatsApp right then. "Leah, did Celeste contact you recently?" Damon asked. "Of course not, Ms. York hates me. Why would she take the initiative to contact me?" Leah said pitifully, "I just really like you. It was Ms. York who intervened in the relationship between me and you …" Damon didn't listen to the rest of her words. He looked at Leah's stories. It was just something about her father's birthday celebration from two weeks ago. There was nothing else. How could such a coincidence happen? How did Celeste know about him sending Leah to the airport and carrying the suitcase for her? …After switching her phone off, Celeste cou
When Damon returned home, there was no sign of Celeste. "Mrs. Bishop left for a business trip. I thought she told you about it." Edna was a little anxious when she saw the dark look on Damon's face. She quickly followed him behind and explained. "Didn't I tell you to let me know anything related to her?" Damon contacted Sylvie. He was very dissatisfied with her decision. "Celeste said that you're the one who allowed her to go," Sylvie replied in confusion. "She lied. I didn't." Sylvie was quiet for a long while. She suddenly said, "There's something wrong with the way you treat your wife." "What?" "She's a grown woman with her own freedom. She's not your three-year-old daughter. You don't have to be worried about everything she does." "No. She's just a three-year-old daughter in my eyes." "It's scary how possessive you are, Damon," Sylvie said after a while. Damon had been aware of his possessiveness over Celeste a long time ago. So he didn't argue with what Sylvie
Celeste made a noise of affirmation from her throat. "Leah did come over last night. I lied to you because I didn't want you to overthink and not be able to sleep. I told you that I only treat her like a sister. There's nothing else." Damon touched her cheek with his hand. He spoke so softly as if he was afraid of scaring her. In the past, he never would've thought that he'd lower his ego and coax a woman like this. "Yeah, but why did you have to be with her for so long by using the business trip as an excuse? I don't get it." Celeste finally told him what bothered her the most. She couldn't understand how he could be alone with her for seven days. "For so long? Since when did I accompany her by using the business trip as an excuse? It was 6:00 pm when I saw Leah yesterday. I sent her to the airport around 8:00 pm. Is that a very long time?" Dissatisfied, Damon frowned. Where did this woman hear such rumors? "Stop lying." Celeste pulled her phone out. She wanted to show Lea
