Damon felt miserable. He went back home unusually early. "Mr. Bishop, Mrs. Bishop has just returned. She's upstairs." Seeing Damon enter, Edna quickly welcomed him. She was finally back. Only then did Damon relax a little. "Ask what she wants to eat and make it for her," he said. "There's no need for that. I'm leaving in a short while," Celeste said politely. She was packing her things up. She walked out of the room when she heard voices. She then stood by the railing on the second floor. The two had been living together for so long. They even shared countless intimate moments. But now, she sounded so polite as if she was an outsider. Damon was hurt. He raised his head to look at her. She was so thin that he could barely see her underneath that gray wool sweater. The sweater clung onto her, making her seem fragile and pale. Instantly, he was overwhelmed with regret. Suppressing his heartache, he walked upstairs. "Are you feeling better? You got discharged so soon.
Apart from their first night together, it was the first time Celeste was so proactive. Damon had a bad hunch about this, so he put in even more effort. "We're not getting a divorce. Don't leave me, darling." Brushing his lips against her, he said this repeatedly. Celeste didn't say a word. When she decided on something, she wouldn't turn back. She would divorce him. Celeste kissed him back and hugged him tighter. She wouldn't have a chance to do this anymore. The man whom she fell for would eventually exit her life and leave no traces behind. Would that happen? Would it be as if he had never existed in her life? Celeste was troubled. She didn't know the answer to that. She lost her voice during one climax after another. She didn't even know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, Damon was no longer there. The luggage with which she used to pack her things was open. Everything was restored to its original position. "Rest well. We're not getting a divorce." As us
After Celeste sent Damon a photo of her "achievement" on WhatsApp, she received no reply from him. She sat down alone and sulked. She heard someone knocking on her door. Edna brought a pair of slippers from the outside for her. She placed them by Celeste's feet. Gently, she said, "Mrs. Bishop, Mr. Bishop told me to bring a pair of slippers to you. He said that you're free to smash anything. But be careful to not hurt yourself." "Tell him that I won't hurt myself if he lets me go out." Staring at the slippers, Celeste's heart throbbed. When she just moved in here, she liked to run around the house barefooted. At first, Damon would just leave her be. He'd only force her to wear slippers when the weather turned cold. Celeste told him she would wear them but she didn't. After asking her about it, Damon finally realized the reason. He suspected that Shannon had worn the women's slippers in the villa before, so Celeste was disgusted by the thought of wearing them. "She never wore t
Damon didn't go back home for a few days. He didn't want to admit it, but he knew he didn't dare face Celeste, the woman who wanted to divorce him. He could no longer see his reflection in her eyes. It was embarrassing of him to run away, but it was a useful technique. To prevent Celeste from hurting herself, he told Edna to hide away all the sharp tools at home. He'd let her wreck the house if she wanted to. She could do anything she wished as long as she didn't hurt herself. After all, Celeste didn't grow up in a rich family. She still treasured their belongings deep down. After smashing things for a whole day and getting no reaction from Damon, she lost interest in doing so. He watched the surveillance footage. She even went to the door and argued with the bodyguards. Seeing how she couldn't get through them, she hid in the room and did nothing. "The tall bodyguard was speaking too loudly to her, wasn't he?" Hearing their conversation, he frowned in dissatisfaction. "T
Celeste was instantly full of energy!"Megan, quick, check if this news is true or not!" Ever since she lost the baby, she had been in low spirits. It was the first time she had a smile on her face in days. Megan was quick and effective. Soon, she called Celeste. "It's Henry indeed. He was convinced by someone to smuggle a bunch of fake fire hydrants. This involves a transaction of ten billion dollars!" Celeste's heart thumped hard against her chest. She was trembling in excitement. She finally did it! "Megan, I did it! I finally did it!" She tried her best to take a deep breath and calm down. But she couldn't stop herself from crying. "Yes, you did! You finally avenged Aunt Sylvia." Megan sounded throaty on the other end of the call too. Then, they both started crying out loud. "Are you okay, Mrs. Bishop? Tell me if there's anything you're unhappy about." Edna would drop by occasionally to check on her as requested by Damon. When she heard Celeste crying in the room, she co
When Celeste hurt herself, it wasn't as horrible as the last time. Nevertheless, she did it again. She had never spared herself any mercy on matters like this. But when she cut herself previously, she intended to end her life. This time, she was betting on surviving because of Damon's feelings for her. Damon's face turned pale the moment she slit her artery. He immediately called someone at the villa to send her to the hospital. "Her artery snapped, and she even cut two-thirds of her tendons. If we delayed this any further, we certainly wouldn't have been able to reattach them." Nicholas was the one who operated on Celeste. Although he was used to witnessing worse scenarios, he appeared terrified when he came out of the room. "Just divorce her, Damon. You can't let this go on any longer. Both of you will suffer from this." He placed a hand on Damon's shoulder and advised him. Celeste was simply too ruthless. To someone as carefree as Nicholas, he thought Damon must be tryin
Damon didn't know how he even managed to get back home. His mind was all over the place. In the car, he struggled to focus on anything. Thankfully, Celeste was still alive. But she was going to leave him soon. She seemed so determined and excited about it. Edna said she cried and laughed before she cut herself in the room. She must have been experiencing another depressive episode. He didn't have time to tell her he had helped her speed up her plan to defeat the York family. When Damon reached the villa, he suppressed his pain and told someone from his company's legal team to come over. "She likes to design jewelry, so pass my shares in Prestige to her. As for this villa, there will be two alternative plans. Prepare an agreement to give her the villa as a gift. But based on her personality, she might not want it. If she doesn't want it, give her two other properties." Damon seemed worn out. He leaned against the chair as he spoke to the legal advisor. "Mr. Bishop, the
Both of them wouldn't back down. To make matters worse, Megan and Nicholas each defended their friend. In the end, Liam became the peacemaker. "Alright, since you two are divorcing amicably, it's not like you won't be in contact with each other from now on. You don't have to calculate everything today. "Mrs. Bishop isn't in the healthiest condition right now, so she wouldn't have the energy to take care of Prestige even if you insist on giving her the shares." As he spoke, he saw no reactions from Damon. He couldn't tell what Damon was thinking from the look on his face. He quickly glanced at Celeste. "As for this corporate building, you don't have to return it to Mr. Bishop in such a hurry. Just pretend that he's lending you the building for now. When the price increases, you can sell it and return it to Mr. Bishop by then. It would still be the same." At that moment, Celeste thought that what Liam said made sense. Since Damon didn't want her to return the building to him,
