In the evening Celestine finally managed to open her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her head. She tried to step out of bed but failed and fell back on a soft mattress.
"How did I end up here?" Celestine found herself in a familiar room and memories of what happened at noon rushed back.
"Baby how are you feeling?" She was so immersed in her thoughts that she did not notice when Damien stepped inside the room.
"Better." Celestine tried to fake a smile which Damien did notice.
"Is your head hurting?" Damien asked with concern. He felt a pang in his heart when he saw her struggling.
"Yes. But it will be fine." Celestine said while holding her head.
"First eat dinner. You haven't had anything since noon." Damien said while gesturing for the maid to come in and serve the food. After arranging food on the table maid bowed her
"Now can we talk about what happened yesterday?" Damien asked when he saw Celestine coming out of the bathroom in business attire. "You have seen everything." Celestine walked to where he was and sat beside him. "Do you know Amanda before?" Damien asked coldly. Though he knows the answer but he wants to hear it from her. Celestine played with her fingers nervously not knowing what to say. "Speak Celestine." Damien made her look straight into his eyes. "I don't know her." Celestine lied looking down. "OK. You never told me about your surname." Damien was displeased at her answer. "Celestine Mancini." Celestine sucks in a deep breath before answering him. "Celestine Mancini, what is your relation with Amanda Mancini?" Damien again asked but this time his voice was dangerously cold. Celesti
"I want you in my office now," Celestine called Amanda through the intercom. Celestine waited for her till ten minutes when Amanda leisurely walked in without even knocking on the door as Damien was in a meeting and Celestine was alone in the office. "What's your problem?" Amanda sat opposite Celestine and spread her legs on the desk showing her high heels. "Have you forgot your place? Or should I call Damien to throw you out of here?" Celestine warned her with a tight frown. "Celestine you are nothing without Damien. Your happiness is only for few days after that Damien will be mine." Amanda arrogantly said. "We will see that but for now go and bring me coffee." Celestine's voice was cold and her face was plain void of any expression. Amanda was afraid to see a new version of Celestine. "Enjoy these few days." Amanda
Next day the sun shone with all it's might and forcefully made its way through the thick creamy curtains, caressing a beautiful face on bed.Celestine frowned in her sleep when bright rays of sun hit her closed eyes."Celestine; wake up! We have to visit hospital." Damien stroked her hair with utter love and adoration."What's the time? Why didn't you wake me up early?" Celestine heard the word 'hospital' and quickly jumped out of the bed, grabbing a random dress from wardrobe and hurried to bathroom."It is still early. Take your time." Damien shook his head and went down the staircase with a charming smile lingering on his face."Butler ask the chef to prepare breakfast for Celestine." Damien ordered while taking his coffee mug from butlers' hand."OK sir." Butler bowed and left from there with his orders.Damien was busy goin
Celestine woke up at seven in the evening. She searched for her phone and found it under her pillow. After unlocking she saw ten missed calls from Damien. She sighed and dialed his number. In a single ring, call got connected."Baby!" Damien exclaimed with a sigh of relief."Hmm...sorry. I was sleeping." Celestine said still yawning."I know. You were not attending the call so I asked Butler to check on you. Are you feeling better?" Damien asked."Yes..." Celestine replied and then suddenly remembered something."Damien?" She called out his name with a cold voice making him wonder about her sudden change in behavior."Speak." He replied with one word not sure what she was going to say."Jennet was here for you." Her voice was crisp with a hint of displeasure."Who allowed her to enter my house without my permission?" Dami
"Tesoro mio! What are you thinking?" Damien walked into the room and loosened his tie."When did you come back?" Celestine smiled brightly when she saw him."Just now. You didn't tell me; what were you thinking?" Damien asked again- holding her in his arms."I was thinking about you." Celestine replied without any delay, snuggling closer into his chest."Me?" Damien pointed to his face and asked in surprise."Yes! I guess you did not think about me." Celestine mumbled the last part but he still heard her."Sei nel mio cuore signorine."Damien held her chin and said in a serious voice.(You are in my heart milady.)" I want to meet Lisa. If not for her I won't be able to meet you." Celestine looked straight into his eyes."Your wish is my command signorine." Damien would had
It was Saturday and Damien did not have to go to office for work. He stayed in his study room to check some reports.As per wished by Celestine, he already instructed his driver to pick Lisa from brothel and bring her to to home. Celestine was happy to meet Lisa and was waiting patiently.~~~~~~~~~On other end Lisa - who received the news was excited to meet Celestine. She always take Celestine as her friend and was happy for her."Are you going on a date?" Janet mocked her while taking seat opposite to her. She never likes Lisa, because she take her as her love rival."No. I am going to Romano mansion." Lisa rolled out her eyes and dropped the bomb on Jennet with a smirk."You can't go there." Jennet jumped off the couch and fumed in anger."And why I can't go?" Lisa asked back with a dark look."Damien don't welcom
With the dazzling sun above her, Lisa was breathing heavily with bead of sweats forming on her forehead."Phew! Thank God I arrived at time." Lisa patted her chest and tried to steady her breath.In a corner a bright red sports car was standing and a pair of blue orbs were glued on Lisa.He slowly stepped out of car with his messy hair and lazy appearance for which girls went crazy. His lazy steps stopped when they reached beside Lisa."Want any help?" His unruly smile blasted Lisa's head with dirty thoughts but she restrained herself."No thanks." Lisa politely turned down his offer. If it was another day she would had accepted his offer and might end up on his bed but this time, it was different she want to live a carefree and happy life."Are you working for Mr.Romano?" He raised his perfectly curved thick eyebrow with a hint of surprise.&nbs
"Brad this is my office and I won't allow you to flirt with my employees." Damien coldly warned. Though once he was a playboy but he had always drawn a boundary line between his personal and professional affairs."Dude relax. I wasn't flirting with her. Actually we met outside the company building and she turned down my offer." Brad sighed but soon his sad expression was replaced with a smirk.And what's with your new secretary? " Brad asked with a mischievous smile."Don't you dare to think about her." Damien almost yelled in frustration."OK OK. Joke a part... I want to court that Lisa." Brad pleaded."Its your matter but don't do anything in my office." Damien went back to his table and start typing on keyboard skillfully."And what about Celestine?" Brad raised his left brow with a questioning look."I guess you have no other work
"Zack, Ryan is here for you," Celestine yelled from the kitchen. She was making her son's favorite dish. "Coming mom." A low magnetic voice resounded from the stairs and Celestine smiled at her son. He was now turned into a fine man. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes just like his father. Perfect jawline and cut cheekbones. His masculine body attracted girls towards him. Zack was basketball champion and also a topper of his university. Thousand of girls flaunt around d him but he did not bait an eye on them. He remembered his mother's words. "It doesn't matter if that girl is ready to throw herself on you or not but don't lose your conscience because of your desires. Be a man and respect women. They deserve respect too. But if someone tries to take advantage of you then show them who you are." Zack shook his head kissed his mother on her cheek. It was a daily routine for him. "Hey Bro! Are you ready for the mat
Its been 4 years since that incident happened. It had caused a huge impact on Celestine. She was afraid to send Zack school but Damien somehow convinced her. "Mom I am not a girl." Zack coldly said to his mother who was guiding him what to do and not to do. "Still you are my only son. I can't afford to lose you." Celestine shed tears and hugged Zack. "Ok. Don't cry. I will listen to you." Zack wiped tear from his mothers face. Like Damien he too can't see his mother crying. "What did I miss?" Damien picked
Seven months passed in a blink and it was the month of delivery. Celestine laid in the bed, caressing her big round belly. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and Celestine yelled in pain. "Damien!!!" She yelled with all the strength she had. "Damien gets the car ready, her water has broken. Mathilda yelled and helped Celestine to leave the bed. She was drenched in a cold sweat. Damien rushed to her and swept her up in his arms. " I am here. Everything is gonna be alright." Damien coaxed Celestine and rubbed her hands but nothing was easing her pain. They went to the hospital and Celestine was pushed into the emergency room. Damien paced back and forth in frustration. Inside the emergency room, Celestine kept on screaming. "Mrs Romano push harder, we can see the head of the baby." The doctor encouraged her to push. "Yes, you are doing great. Keep on pushing, with a little more force." Celestine nodded to
"Grandma" Emma jumped down the stairs and hugged her grandmother. "Mrs.Green, I want to have a talk with you." Mathilda politely said and glanced at Emma and Elijah with a smile. "Yes dear." Mrs.Green walked out to garden. "I know I am being hasty but I really liked Emma. She is a sweet girl." Mathilda paused and smile. Mrs.Green could guess what was coming next. "I want to ask for Emma's hand, for my son Elijah." Mathilda finally said. "I am happy to hear that child but its her life and I can't decide on her behalf." Mrs.Green was happy about Emma. Finally! She too was going to settle. "Then let's go in and talk to her." Mathilda and Mrs.Green walked in and smiled at each other. "Emma what do you think about my son?" Mathilda asked taking her hands. "He is a nice guy." Emma smiled bashfully and lowered her head to hide her blushed cheeks. "Then what if I ask you to marry him?" Mathilda looked at her nervo
It was night when Celestine woke up. She looked around the familiar room and smiled. At last, there was no serious damage instead it was good that Damien found her mother and brother back."Are you hungry?" Damien walked in wearing a white loose shirt and black sweatpants. He was like a painter to her eyes."Yes, I want to eat crayfish, salmon, and Mexican pasta." Celestine licked her lips and nodded her head like a little rattle drum."You are not allowed to eat spicy food." Damien turned down her request."Then I won't eat anything." Celestine pouted and refused to talk with Damien."OK. Then you can stay hungry." Damien smirked and left the room. Celestine looked at him with shock. She thought he would agree but he did not care for her. Tears started rolling down her eyes and she sobbed.Damien returned to the room with her ordered dishes and found her crying hard."Baby, why are you crying? Did you got hurt?" Damien panicked and examined h
"There is no more engagement ceremony. I am sorry for all this commotion. You all can leave." Mathilda politely bowed her head and send off the guests."Happy to see you again Mathilda" Lilith and Mr.Winthrop hugged her and shed happy tears."My girlfriend is back." Brad wiped his tears and hugged Mathilda. It was a happy and emotional moment for the Romano family."It is not good for her health to stand for too long." Emma reminded them.Damien was still in shock. Elijah and Damien helped their mother to walk into the house. Damien adjusted cushions behind her back and both brothers sat on the floor with their heads on their mother's lap. They all teared up seeing the emotional and unconditional love between mother and their child. Celestine smiled and rubbed her protruding belly.Maira, Lisa, Brad, and Mr. and Mrs.Winthrop left the family to spend time and resolve their inner conflicts."Zhavia lead Doctor Emma to the guest room," Celestine ordered."No, i
The next day there was a commotion downstairs. Celestine groaned in annoyance and left her bed to take a morning shower. She then completed her morning chores and went downstairs to see what was happening. Athena was ordering around maids and a lot of designer clothes were lined up with diamond, gold, and silver jewelry. "Oh, Celestine choose a dress for yourself too. I and Damien are getting engaged next week." Athena smiled sweetly and walked up to her. "It is useless to stay here and burn your heart." Athena was wearing high heels which made her look taller than Celestine. She bent her head and whispered in Celestine's year. "Congratulations Athena! By the way, there is no need to worry about me and why would I leave? I have the future heir of Romano empire in my womb." Celestine smirked "You think too highly of yourself little slut. Once I will give birth for Damien, he won't acknowledge this illegitimate bastard." Athena ridiculed h
Lisa and Brad thought to give this news to Damien and Celestine first. The next very day, they drove to the Romano mansion. "Cele!" Lisa saw Celestine on the couch reading a magazine. She called her with enthusiasm. "Lis, what a pleasant surprise." Celestine sprung up to her. "We have something important to say." Brad held Lisa's hand and kissed her. Celestine smiled at Lisa. "You two are here." Damien walked downstairs and stood beside Celestine. "Old man and Lilith approved our relation and we are getting married next month," Brad announced with a grin. "What? When did this all happen?" Celestine glared at Lisa. "Don't be angry. I'll tell you everything." Lisa coaxed Celestine. "Before you two proceed further, there is a secret of your life Lisa. You should be aware of that." Damien tugged his hands into his trousers pocket. "What do you mean by my secret?" Lisa and Brad both shared a confused look. "A
On the other end, Amara opened her eyes slowly. She felt a sharp pain in her G spot. It was as if someone had torn her apart. To her surprise, Ivan had untied her hands and feet. Amara managed to stand on her feet and wore her jeans. Her face was white as a sheet and her body was numb. First, she confirmed no one was there and then scurried away from Ivan's house. Her legs were trembling due to intense pain but she somehow managed to stop a taxi and drove to her apartment. She rang the bell and it was her father who opened the door. "Dad!" Amara hugged her father and cried out. "What happened honey?" Mr.Mancini gently asked his daughter. "Dad I have something important to tell you." Amara managed to control her emotions. Her voice was determined. "First come in." Mr.Mancini closed the door and called his wife. "What happened to you, Amara? You look weak and tired." Julie hugged Amara and her brows furrowed. "Did
