"What makes my stepbrother to visit my office personally?" Damien stroked his chin.
"I heard you found a village chick, so I thought to come and congratulate you." Elijah stretched his legs on coffee table.
"What do you want?" Damien swirled his chair and came face to face, his aura intimidating and voice icy cold.
"My share in property." Elijah tossed out a pack of cigarette and put one between his thin lips.
"I have build this company with my sweat and blood. I am not running a charity house." Damien said indifferently.
Elijah did not reply and silently enjoyed the scent of smoke, filling his lungs and senses.
"Tch! Too bad then, you won't be able to get hold of the evidence." Elijah tsked with a smirk.
"So you both are still in touch." Damien clenched his jaw.
Elijah laughed. He throw the remaining of his smoked cigarette on white marble floor, and lit another one. After taking a puff Elijah finally loomed at Damien.
"You are up." Brad walked in with a tray, filled with fruits in his hand."Don't act as if you care. I know you are waging your tail around me just for my body." Lisa leaned on the headboard and closed her eyes. She was in much better condition. Lisa had already talked to Lilith and told her the reason, why she wasn't able to present on her first day. Thanks to God, Lilith was a nice lady and understood her problems."I am taking care of you because hurt you as for your body." Brad stopped and looked at her chest and then hips. He then smirked."Tch! You are too flat to be my type. I have seen many beauties." Brad passed the tray to her.Lisa choose not to utter a word in front of this shameless man. She knew- if she argued, thinks might accelerate and she would be the only one to get hurt in the end."Thanks!" She uninterestedly said and felt a headache, seeing bunch of dishes.The tray was filled with mouth watering recipes. There wa
After a long flight of 9 hrs, Damien arrived at Canada. His chilling dark auro warned others to stay at a distance from him. Mothers instinctively hug their children while young girls drool over him."It's time to meet you little kitten." Damien smirked and entered his car. Max was driving the car with a straight face.~~~~It was late at night in Canada whereas in Italy the sun started to spread its bright rays giving energy to each and everything.Celia was sleeping in her room. Celestine first checked her and then walked into kitchen to fetch a glass of water. She was feeling tired. On one hand she had to deal with her studies and on the other hand she had to run restaurant, she was going crazy. But for Celia and her baby she had to be strong and work hard.She was about to enter her room when the door bell rang. Her brows furrowed. Who could visit her at this hour? Maybe Peter was here to give her some fruits like he did two days back. Sh
Brad concealed his shock and turned to face Lilith."Is she a new worker? I haven't seen her before." Brad asked casually. His voice was unsuspecting."Oh her, yes she is new here. Lisa is such a sweet girl. And you! Don't you dare to flirt with her. Last time, on call, you said you have found a girl - go to her if young to flirt. My workers are not for you to toy." Lilith scolded him.Lilith and her husband old Mr.Winthrop, lived in the backyard of their restaurant. They found it good to be surround by so many people."As you say." Brad raises his hands in air and chuckled."Go now." Lilith shoo him away with a bright smile. Her mood instantly lit up."Old man!" Brad hugged him from behind and plant a kiss on old Mr.Winthrop's wrinkled hand."Bastard! You scared my little rabbits." Mr.Winthrop hit Brad with his wooden can."Sorry old man. I was busy." Brad sat on green grass and held his grandfather's leg like a little kid.
Damien throw the empty bottle of red wine to floor and it shattered into tiny pieces just like his life. The thought of hurting Celestine added more to his wounds.He had no choice but to follow his initial plan. He called Zhavia to his study room because she was in friendly terms with Celestine."You called for me sir?" Zhavia knocked before entering into the room."I want you to visit Canada." Damien leaned back on his chair and flip the tickets to her."But sir, where will I live? I don't know anyone there." Zhavia freaked out. She thought of countless possibilities. What if Damien had sold her, like other rich families do. They send their servants as a gift. With the mere thought of it, gave her goosebumps."You have to take care of Celestine, she is pregnant and can't work alone. Also, don't let her go near any other man." Damien did not care what Zhavia was thinking. His only concern was his woman."Sir, how did you found Cele...madam"
The evening of event arrived soon. In a luxurious hotel, with soft music in the background, luxurious cars stopped at the entrance of hotel. Businessmen were in colorful tuxe while women were wearing shiny, short and sexy gowns with high heels and extravagant accessories. Journalist were clicking photographs and were trying to grab on a juicy news to fill there articles.All there attention was grabbed by a screeching sound of red sports Mercedes. After five minutes, driver held the door for his boss with respect.Long legs with polished loffers made there way out and , long slender and wheat colored hands hold the door and slowly the Greek god made his appearance. It was none other than Damien. He was wearing black suit with collared shirt and red tie with a suit pin neatly hanged on his left side of suit.Not only journalists but heiress of other families also pulled out their phones to capture a slight glimpse of cold and alluring beauty.H
All the guests turned their heads to see the commotion in corner. They all started murmuring.Brad was shocked. His dark eyes landed on the culprit who kissed him without his permission. Brad was surprised to see Lisa kissing him passionately, her eyes were closed and cheeks were flushed. She was under the influence if alcohol.Brad closed his eyes and pulled Lisa by her waist and returned her kiss with equal passion. People started to gather around them and cheered them.Damien rubbed his forehead. He did not want Brad to get distracted from his real purpose but now things seems different."A whore can't stay away from dick." Athena sneered and smiled in ridicule.Lisa pushed Brad and stumbled backwards. She looked at him with a pout and then whispered in his ears."I had said before you'll regret it." Her husky voice pricked something in his heart. But before he could hold her in his arms she had run away, and now was on dance floor.
After six hours of long sleep, Celestine slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at her surroundings and her eyes stopped at the devilishly handsome man- sitting on the couch beside her bed. "Why are you here?" Celestine's crispy voice rang in the VIP hospital room, bringing the attention of Damien. "To check on you and my baby." Damien walked to her. "Not yours. This baby is only mine." Celestine said. Her voice was sharp and cold unlike before. There was a hint of hostility. "You are coming with me and that's enough." Damien turned his back towards her. "Do you still expect me to obey your damn orders? Didn't your fiance satisfy you?" Celestine turned her face to other side. Tears streamed down her bloodless face. "You have nothing to do with that. Should I remind you, I am your master and I am the one who bought you from that place." His voice was different. Not commanding but something was off. Celestine did not care. "Oh! Than
Brad and Lisa both arrived at Romano's mansion. Lisa was restless and moving back and forth. There were many questions in her mind but the answers were unknown. "Calm down Lisa. Damien is not a beast." Brad pulled her on the couch beside him. "He is a beast- a real jerk." Lisa tapped her white sneakers on the marble floor. She was thinking of ways to kick Damien but unfortunately, she can't. "Didn't you hear her voice? She is fine, don't stress yourself." Brad scooped up her and make her sit on his lap. Lisa only glared but did not protest against it. She rested her head on his broad chest and listened to his heartbeats. They were soothing to her ear, calming her nerves. The screech of the car pulled Lisa back to her senses and she jumped off Brad's lap. Her eyes were anxiously looking at the door. Zhavia was helping Celestine by holding her shoulders. In the past week, Celestine had lost weight and she was like a paper sheet- which can be blo
"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
