"Jasper, you finally thought of me." Leah and Jasper decided on the time and place to meet each other. Leah even did a full makeup. Dressed provocatively, she walked over and spoke to Jasper with excitement. But Jasper wasn't swayed. Crossing his arms, he looked at her. "You're the one who wrote the draft about Carly." In just one day, he managed to find out that one of his staff had been having monetary transactions with Leah. "Did he admit it already?" Leah frowned. If he exposed her so quickly, all the money she gave him would have gone to waste. Jasper shook his head. "He insisted that he was the one who wanted to do it." "If that's the case, you shouldn't have suspected me then." Seeing how cold Jasper was toward her, her heart sank. She gave up. Jasper's eyes were icy and dark. "Not only did you almost cause Celeste to have a miscarriage, you managed to embarrass the Bishop and Schultz families. You killed three birds with one stone. "I'm warning you, this will be
At that moment, Damon was looking at his phone to write her a few things about what she should eat as a pregnant woman. When he saw the WhatsApp notification, he tapped it open. It was an interview from a media platform that had grown popular recently. In the video, Celeste was just like any woman who dreamed of marrying into a rich family. She expressed her utmost admiration for her husband to the reporter. She said that her child's name would be decided by her husband and that she'd have four children just for her husband's sake. She was proud to be Damon's wife. The comment section was filled with mockery. "No way! When I saw Damon's confession in his post back then, I liked this woman a lot. But she's just another spoiled young socialite!" "She's just a regular girl who was lucky enough to marry a rich man. She sounded so ignorant in the interview. Did she think that she'd get to have a good life with the rich as long as she gave birth to children?" "After all, they h
There was no reason why he'd turn down an offer from such a beautiful woman. Under Celeste's instruction, Damon drove to a small restaurant famous for their seafood barbecue. "I always came here with Megan in the past. They serve razor clams as big as this." Celeste stretched her hands out and showed it to Damon. Her fingers were long and pinkish. Damon's eyes couldn't move away from them. Damon was a picky eater, so there wasn't a lot of food that he'd enjoy. But seeing how excited Celeste was, he felt like trying the razor clams recommended by her too. "I want this, and this." Celeste pointed at the seafood on the digital menu to the waitress. "No, you can't eat raw seafood when you're pregnant. And no swordfish too. They have higher levels of mercury." Damon tapped on the cancel button. He added a serving of pumpkin soup for her. Damon was a man who juggled numerous tasks every day. But surprisingly, he knew more about the dietary restrictions for pregnant women than she
After ordering the food, Ray looked over at Leah. "I'll go over now." She nodded at the two. It was their first time seeing Leah leave so easily. Seeing her walk away, Celeste seemed unbothered on the outside. But she was heaving a sigh of relief. She should be happy that a woman who tried to steal Damon away from her was finally willing to let him go. Serena heard about the news of Celeste getting pregnant too. Although she didn't visit them, she had already prepared all the gifts for her future grandchild. She even hired people to build a playground for babies. Everything was going smoothly. Even Bernie's task against the York family was almost done. Touching her belly, Celeste spaced out a little. Not knowing why, she felt anxious because of how happy things were for her now. "What's on your mind?" Damon scooped some clam meat to feed her. He tried to get her attention. "I'm just overwhelmed by happiness." Smiling, Celeste ate the clam. Her eyes were bright. "M
The reason why Leah contacted Damon at midnight was that she didn't want Ray to touch her. So she was locked up in the underground wine cellar. Damon went to great lengths to look for her. He only managed to save her when the sky turned bright. "Sorry, I thought that I'd be able to forget you once I found another man. I just can't do it." After putting on an act for a while, Leah was back with her old tricks. She hugged Damon while bawling her eyes out. Damon was worried about Celeste. He got annoyed by Leah's crying. "Leah, I'm a married man now. I hope you can deal with your problems better. There won't be a next time." Frowning, he told Leah. He then pushed Leah away from him. …It was already afternoon when he reached home. Celeste was curled up on the couch in the living room. She was watching a movie on her tablet. There were dark circles under her eyes. "Go upstairs and sleep." Damon's heart ached at the sight. He reached out to carry her upstairs. Celeste could h
Celeste was hospitalized for another three days. Throughout her stay, Winston, Wish, and Megan came to visit her. But to her surprise, even Leah dropped by. She carried bags of things over to the ward. With a regretful look, she sat by the bed and apologized to Celeste. "It's all my fault for meeting such an evil man. I created trouble for you two. I promise you that it won't happen again."As Leah spoke, she glanced at Celeste on the bed. She then started tearing up again. "If your baby is affected because of this, I… I don't want to live anymore!" She was so good at acting that Celeste wondered if Leah had learned from her mistake for a moment. "She's not feeling well and shouldn't be disturbed for long. You should go back. We can talk another time." On the other hand, Damon stopped Leah from talking further as he sent her out of the ward. When he was back, Celeste leaned against the headboard as she looked at him curiously. "It's annoying when she cries." Damon in
The driver drove her to the suburbs and locked her in an abandoned garage. With just a glance, she could tell that everything was planned out early on. It was dark, cold, and humid in the garage. It was full of dust too. If she listened carefully, she could also hear the sound of mice. There were two white lamps above her to brighten her surroundings. The walls in the garage were filled with news and pictures of Sylvia's suicide on that day! The pictures were in high resolution and uncensored. She could see her mother's bloody body clearly. As the door shut with a clank, Celeste sank to the floor with a shriek. She shut her eyes tightly. How cruel it could be to lock her up in a suffocating space and make her look at her mother in her moment of death. Shannon must have done this! She picked such good timing to get Celeste here when Damon was forced to leave. Celeste closed her eyes as she took a long time to calm herself down. Only then did she open her eyes carefully
Damon's face was tense. He trembled profusely. For a moment, Nicholas and Jasper thought he might pass out. Holding his breath, Damon didn't dare to move forward. Nicholas, who usually hid behind Damon's back, walked over quickly. Standing at the door of the garage, he gasped. "Damon, why don't you, stay there for a bit…" He carefully talked to Damon as he stood there. "We'll send Celeste to the hospital first with the ambulance. You can meet us at the hospital." It was as if Damon couldn't hear him. He dashed past Nicholas and barged into the garage. Celeste had fainted. Her head was covered with blood. She had hit her head against the wall. There was blood between her legs too. That must've been from the baby. There were pictures of Sylvia jumping off the building all over the wall. The pictures were likely screenshots of videos that were presented in high resolution. A few of them were stained with blood. They were most probably torn by Celeste. Nicholas, Jas
