Immediately Cecilia saw the inscription, she hung her mouth wide open in surprise. 

" Hun.... what do you mean by this ?". She asked surprised.

Edward took the laptop again and wrote something on the screen before giving it back to her. 

She took the laptop and stared at it intensely. 

' I SAID DON'T TALK TO ME '. was written on the screen of the laptop. 

" Huh... so really do mean it ?". She asked but as usual, she didn't receive any response. 

" Ohh!! I understand now, and would surely keep it in mind Chen Edward ". Cecelia said while nodding her head like a reptile. 

Edward took the laptop from her and wrote something on it again. 

' CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND, I MEAN NO TAKING '. 

" But how are you even going to...... sorry, I'm going to keep my mouth shut, so no worries, and it's also going to be as easy as a piece of cake, so I can handle it ". Cecelia said. 

She couldn't complete her earlier statement because Edward had glared at her with a furious face causing her to find it hard to swallow. 

She canceled what he had written on the laptop and wrote something on it, before giving it back to Edward. 

' Can you come to my place today, because my parents are going to come back from the States today '. Cecelia wrote. 

' Sorry but I'm going to be busy all day long '. Edward wrote before giving it back to Cecelia. 

' But they would like to meet my boyfriend today.... or can we just pick them up from the airport today ?'. Cecelia asked.

She doesn't know why but she kinda likes their means of communication because she could already picture his voice as she reads the text. 

' I'll try!!! what time is it ?'. He asked. 

' I guess probably around three noon, so would you be free by then ?'. Cecelia asked. 

She was smiling as she wrote the text while giving it to Edward. Even though it's weird, she still like it weirdly. 

' I'll try to create a chance by then '. Edward said as she gave his laptop to Cecelia before winking at her. 

That was the first time Cecelia saw him winking, but a smile suddenly formed on her lips as she became amused that she's getting to know him more, which is progress. 

' So can I come over to your house today, because I would like to know things about my boyfriend, and after today, I won't visit your house again '. Cecelia wrote while hoping that he wouldn't get offended by her second request. 

" Why do you want to visit my house, when you already know a lot of things about me ?". 

" Other than you being popular, I don't know anything else about you!! I'm not a fan of you, so please just for today okay ". Cecelia texted as she placed pleading emote eyes, hoping that he would be able to understand that she needs to know him because she doesn't want to mess up in front of her parents. 

Edward nodded his head as he started staring outside the window and this time around, he didn't text anything to her. 

Cecelia was about to open her mouth when someone suddenly opened the front door. 

The driver and that other man who I still haven't ask of his name suddenly sat down as they accelerated the car engine before driving. 

" So mister, what is your name ?". I asked the man who had been talking to me earlier. 

" You can call me Mister black ". The man said while smiling. 

" And what should I call you ". She asked the driver. 

" You can call me Ezekiel ". The driver replied with his soft voice. 

The driver seems to be probably in his early thirty, likewise Mister black, but I still can't find how to describe which age handsome Edward is, because he looks so young, maybe probably in his early twenties.

" So are any of you related ?". Cecelia asked curiously. 

" Miss!! it's better that you don't ask us any useless question, which is part of things that you aren't supposed to do, and it's written in the contract ". Mister black said. 

" Ohh!! ". Cecelia replied as she took the laptop which was on Edward's lap, and wrote something on it. 

' Can you please give me the contract document? I would like to go through the DO and DON'T '. Cecelia texted before giving Edward the laptop. 

' In the signed contract, you are expected not to ask for the contract back, after you finish signing until the end of the month '. Edward said. 

" Ohh!!! this is getting weird ". Cecelia muttered out as she brought out her phone from her bag. 

" Miss Cecelia, you are expected to use this phone, while your old phone would be kept on hold because we don't like a situation where you have to be..... ". 

" Don't worry Sir, I get it. And besides you can't trust anyone these days, so here's my phone ". Cecelia said as she gave her phone to Mister black. 

" Thanks for your understanding, and if you continue to cooperate with us, then we aren't going to have any problem with each other. The only number you are allowed to call with this phone is your parents' number and the number of our boss here. We won't tolerate it if you end up calling someone else with this phone, except both of your parents. Our boss number is the only number you have on the phone, but keep it in mind that you can't call him whenever you like ". The man said while Cecelia just nodded her head, as a means of understanding. 

She opened the phone and went to contact, to see what they had saved Edward's name with. 

On the contact list lies only one contact, which was ' HEARTBEAT '. 

Cecelia became confused because it might just be saved by mistake. 

' I can't find your contact on this phone '. Cecelia texted her notebook on the phone and showed it to Edward. 

' My contact is there. It's saved as a heartbeat '. Edward informed me.

Cecelia typed as she showed it to him while frowning."Come!". Edward typed and Cecelia followed behind.Edward walked back inside his room and opened a door, which was wide as the type of door that is usually in a palace.The door is brown, while behind that door, lies a whole different world entirely.At first, I thought Edward's room was quite stunning, but seeing the room in front of me, I just couldn't help but swallow hard, because I suddenly found it so difficult to breathe."So this is my room, and that room is for you".

    Edward didn't know why but he somewhat became affected that he found himself lying down on the bed while pondering on what Cecelia said."So you don't need money from me.... what about position..... you don't need anything that would make you rich?".

  • My Rich Billionaire Is Dumb.    Epilogue.

    I slowly open my eyes as I adjust them to the brightness of the room. Early this morning, I and Edward both made love together in the most blissful way. Edward had promised me that he was never going to leave me, even after he has sex with me. I needed it….. I need Edward, so I couldn't deny my body its own need. Besides everything that I and Edward had gone through….. I think that he's going to keep his word. This morning, we made love over and over again, until we finally fell asleep. Currently….. I'm guessing that this is mid-afternoon, due to the sun rays that are currently entering el room. I used the back of my hand to wipe away the sleep that was vastly in my eyes. I slowly got up from the bed, and I stared at the space beside me. 'Where is Edward?' I asked myself, but couldn't answer my question. I suddenly have a bad feeling about this, and I hope that this isn't history repeating itself.I searched every area of the hotel room, and I couldn't find him. I planned o

    "And who the hell did you think you are you hold my woman?" A voice asked while grabbing their hands of Franklin with full force. I shift my gaze towards where the voice is…. And then I saw Jefferson. He's currently on a black jacket, and black trouser, while on his other hand lies his ailment. Jefferson held the man so tight that I felt as if he was about to break the man's bone. "Who the fuck are you?" Franklin barked. "And who the hell are you to ask me such a question?" Jefferson asked, before pushing the man away. The man held his wrist and stare at Jefferson with anger burning inside of him. "Stay away from her, and learn to respect ladies!" Jefferson scoffed, before dragging my hands, as he lead me outside the restaurant. I couldn't wrap my head around what was currently going on. Jefferson on the other hand dragged me towards his bike and gave me his ailment to put on. After wearing it, he hop on the bike and speedily drove away. "Where are you taking me to?" I aske

  • My Rich Billionaire Is Dumb.    Flashback.

    A year ago. After making sure that Cecelia is perfectly okay. Anna decided to make her way back to her house. She has a date tomorrow, and it would be disrespectful of her if she eventually has to turn the guy away. Besides, she was the one who had promised to have a date with him. Anna sees Sophia off at Jefferson's house because Cecelia claims that she wants Edward to stay with her at the hospital. Making her way back home….. she smiles at herself, before taking a glass of water. Today didn't go as planned, and she felt Damn lucky to see that her best friend didn't end up dying. If Cecelia had ended up dying….. then it would be so painful. Besides, the only reason why Anna comes to this city is that Cecelia is her friend. 'Thank you, Lord!' Anna mumbled within herself, before finally deciding to go to bed. ***Waking up the next morning, she visited Cecelia at the hospital, and surprisingly…... Cecelia seems not to be so bothered about all the things Edward did to hurt her

    Staring outside the window….. I just couldn't help but smile. I allowed the cool morning breeze to refresh my mood, and a smile was plastered on my face. My white long sleeve dance alongside the breeze, causing my thigh to be slightly exposed. Nothing feels like having a great sleep. The sounds of birds singing all over the place could be heard loudly, and their music entertained me. Nature…… is just so beautiful. It gives a feeling of warmness to one. 'Having peace of mind in this world is all that I dreamt of.'Currently, I don't have to worry about the future, because the future will eventually tell for itself. The past is already the past…… and as long as I breathe air….. God who's merciful would give me a befitting future. "What are you thinking about love?" The voice of my husband asked from behind me. I didn't turn around to stare at him, but I could tell that he was making his way towards me. He wrapped his hands around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. "

    Speaking of Sophia Dad….. Jefferson and his guys suddenly showed up inside my room. "Where's that bastard?" Jefferson roared while making his way further inside. Edward got up from the bed, and he also seems mad.Edward and Jefferson in no time were now staring at each other deeply. "Daddy….. are you going to start a fight?" Sophia asked while standing in between the two of them. She wasn't staring at Edward but was staring at Jefferson. "Dad?" Edward asked while arching his brow. "Dad!" Jefferson said firmly so that Edward would get the idea that he's Sophia's Dad….. and Edward is nothing. "He's trying to fool Cecelia Jefferson!" Anna said, and it was obvious that she didn't believe what Edward had just told her not quite long. "What did you do to her?" This time around, the person who had just spoken is Jack. Yeah….. my entire family members were now present in my hospital room. "I didn't do anything to…..!" "I heard that you are Cecelia's EX! So why did you make Cecelia

    "A kiss would do." He muttered out, with his usual shameless voice. Hearing his statement….. I shake my head sideways, and then I stare at him with an amused expression. It seems that after all this time….. I ended up being wrong. I had hated Edward for no good reason because the man was trying to protect my life. He has also said something that cleared my entire doubt. He said that when he left me….. if he had written the reason why he had to leave….. then they would have easily tracked me down. I understand everything now, but I'm still pissed off. I'm offended because Edward had to go through all these things alone. "You know that I'm still……""Mama!" The sound of my baby girl cut me off from completing my statement. "Sophia!" I exclaimed while spreading my hands wide for her to come and hug me. "Mama….. how are you feeling?" She asked while hugging me. I stroke the little one's hair, while smiling. "I'm fine dear. Remember that Mama is very strong!" I said before winkin

    Edward!"Cecelia. My goddess, I'm so glad that you are awake." Edward said, as he slowly made his way inside the room. "Edward is alive!" I chanted, without being aware that I had just said that out loud. "Yeah!.... I'm alive, Cecelia. Or were you expecting me to die?" He asked with a teasing voice. I didn't have the time in me, but to angrily slap him. He's alive, and he made me get mad and mother those that were trying to kill me. Edward placed his hands on his cheek but didn't say anything. I know that I shouldn't be reacting like this but I have no choice. Even though getting angry made me kill those that were attacking me….. I'm still mad that I had to have their blood on my hands. "I'm sorry!" Edward mumbled, before taking his seat. I also sat down properly on the bed, because I needed to have a conversation with him. "How is the war? Is everything over?" I asked Edward. "Yes. After you release your anger and kill the witch queen….. they had no other person to take or

    "Cecelia!" I heard someone calling my name, but I couldn't open my eyes. They were stuck. I mean very stuck. "You are going to be alright okay." I heard the voice of a lady saying. Currently, all I want to do is open my eyes. But they are stuck as if it's being glued together. I kept hearing the voice of a lady, and it seemed that the lady was crying. Slowly…. The voice started fading away. All I could hear was just a mumbling sound and boom….. I suddenly found it so hard to breathe. I could feel my heartbeat rising….. and later it would slowly fall. The death which I have been talking about is here. Here to take me to its land. I wanted to struggle, but it ended up being so useless, so I gave up. Edward died at my hands and his death was because of me…… and now I'm also leaving this world. Sophia wouldn't have a Dad, and she also wouldn't have a mother anymore. DEATH!....
