No, they had guns! Celeste's head spun after being slapped hard. All she could think of was that she couldn't let Damon come here! Now that Felix was left with no other way out, he'd do anything. If Damon came here, it'd be a minor issue if Felix just asked him for money. But Damon might lose his life here. Someone checked her clothes and pulled her phone out of her jeans pocket. "Call him!" The man passed the phone to her. Celeste took it and used all her might to smash the phone against the door. She wanted to smash the phone so that nobody could turn on her phone. "Damn it!" Felix saw through her intentions. He snatched a gun from a man and pulled the trigger at Celeste. Instinctively, she closed her eyes. The bullet brushed past her ears and hit the wall near her. A muffled sound could be heard. These guns were silenced. Trembling, she opened her eyes in fear. "Are you going to call him, you stupid woman?" Felix's minions kicked her when they saw Felix get ang
"Go? Where do you think you're going, Mr. Bishop?" Felix laughed hysterically as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever. "Since I'm the one you want, shouldn't you man up and let my wife go?" Damon saw through Felix. The reason why Felix could boldly give him the address without worrying about being ambushed was probably because they had guns. Felix never intended for Damon to leave here alive. If Felix wanted money, he could have brought Celeste to a secluded spot and had Damon transfer the money to a designated bank account. But Felix clearly wanted Damon dead. Surprisingly, Felix's minions made way for Celeste to leave after he gave them a look. "No!" Determined, Celeste stood still. "Be a good girl." Damon wiped away the blood from Celeste's lips with his fingertips. He then licked it away. "Just go now." Celeste didn't budge. "Please throw my wife out of here." Damon turned to Felix. Damon was not panicking at all. And Celeste didn't seem as flustered as he im
Damon was only focused on Celeste. He didn't even realize it when Nicholas and Jasper left. The bed in the VIP ward was big and soft. Since Celeste was thin, there was a huge space beside her. Damon quietly lay beside her. He watched her while propping up his head with his uninjured hand. That woman wouldn't even contact him when she was badly beaten up. And the first thing she said to him on the phone was that she had no feelings for him. That he'd be dumb to save her life. What a woman. After she was removed from danger, she dashed back into the house again. What was she thinking? Bruises and bloody wounds were all over her face. Some skin on her nose had fallen off. Damon told the nurse to check her body. There were bruises on her stomach after being kicked with leather shoes. Her thighs were scraped too. Damon didn't even bat an eyelid when he watched the doctor extract the bullet from his arm. But his heart ached when he looked at Celeste's injuries. Celeste had cont
Henry had hidden Caleb in a residential housing near Barlett Lake. When he woke up, someone lied to him. They said that Celeste told him to wait for her there. When Celeste never showed up, Caleb realized that something was wrong when he saw Henry instead. He had never seen Henry before. But he could immediately tell that this man with a fake smile on his face was his father. "Henry York, you won't be able to threaten Celeste with me." That was all Caleb said. After that, he stopped eating and drinking, starting a hunger strike. Henry wasn't concerned about Caleb at all. He only visited Caleb once. Afterward, the guards told him that Caleb wasn't eating anything. Dismissively, Henry merely said that it wouldn't matter if Caleb missed a few meals. By the time Damon and his men found Caleb at the location Shannon told him, Caleb was already so weak that he could collapse at any time. "Damon." He smiled weakly at Damon before he blacked out. Henry wasn't there. With a cold e
The York family just suffered from great losses because of the Radcliffe Group's project. They wouldn't be mad enough to be enemies with the Bishop family now. It was clear that Henry was the one who brought Caleb away. But he might not have partnered up with Felix. Damon considered that. He sent someone to interrogate Felix. To his surprise, Felix also seemed to be threatened by someone else. He insisted that it was the York family who hired him and nobody else. Who else would know about Henry kidnapping Caleb? It could only be Leah, who always exaggerated the things she said to Serena! But Leah wouldn't partner up with Felix to kill him. She'd gain no benefits from killing him. Before Damon could go ask Leah about this, she came here on her own accord. "Are you alright, Damon? I was so scared after hearing what happened. I even dreamed about you being in danger." It was as if she didn't see the unconscious Celeste on the bed at all. She teared up the moment she saw Damon.
Celeste only woke up in the morning three days after the incident. Her head was hurting badly. And she felt uncomfortable. She turned around and made a noise. The next thing she knew, she was pulled into a warm embrace. "You're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Damon hugged her with his uninjured arm. His bandaged left arm was hanging limply by the side. "You're hurt? What happened?" Celeste was shocked. She checked his left arm. After a while, she finally recalled what happened before she blacked out. "Thank god you're alive," she mumbled as she leaned closer to Damon's chest. Damon's heart warmed up. Quietly, he hugged her tighter. Her mind wasn't the sharpest since she just woke up. After a minute, Celeste yelled, "Where's Caleb? How long have I been unconscious? Save Caleb!" She was about to get out of Damon's arms. Damon only managed to calm her down after a while. "Caleb is in the hospital too. But not here." Caleb was in such a weak state that he was
Shocked, Celeste stared at Damon. He seemed to have grown thinner these past few days. His jawline was sharper than ever. The stubble around his mouth made him look carefree yet seductive. Suddenly, he held the back of her head carefully and lifted her chin. The two were so close to each other that they could feel each other's breath. Damon's intense staring made her blush. "I-I'll think about it," Celeste stuttered. "You'll think about it?" Damon raised his brow in dissatisfaction. This woman probably didn't know how many other women out there wished they could have kids with him. Before he met Celeste, Damon would imagine what his future wife would look like. But he never thought about how his child would turn out to be. Would Celeste be happier if she had a child? Besides, if they had a child, this woman would consider the fact that she was a mother before she made any decisions. She wouldn't dare to do anything risky anymore. Although Damon didn't want to admit it, bu
"Let's eat downstairs. We'll be visiting Caleb after the meal anyway," she said. Everything was done for Celeste in the bedroom. "We'll see how things go. I can ask my men to send Caleb over. You better recover well at home." Damon had a change of mind ever since he heard that she had a concussion. "What about you? Are you going to rest here with me?" Celeste was a little dissatisfied. "I'll do most of my work at home. After all, we have to give birth to a daughter," Damon answered matter-of-factly. "Huh? Why are we in such a hurry?" Celeste was speechless. Damon was truly impulsive. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a daughter. If the daughter inherited Damon's genes, she would have great looks and intelligence. As for her personality … Celeste glanced at Damon. He was emotional. He wasn't simple and calm enough. "We can't just make babies so easily." She didn't know what else to say. Damon lowered down and pressed kisses all over her face. "Be good and stay here. I'll g
