Lisa opened her eyes with great difficulty and reach out to her phone. There were one missed call and two messages from an unknown number with different country code.
"Lis, its me Celestine." When Lisa read the message her dizziness vanished and she jolted up on bed. Without waiting for a second she called on that number.
"Cele! Where are you? Do you know how worried I am for you? Did you ever take me as your friend?." Celestine distanced phone from her ear, afraid, might Lisa damage her ear drums.
"Hey Lis! Calm down. I had to arrange house and I have left all my belongings in Italy. It was really hard for me to arrange and adjust in one day. I am sorry." Celestine let out a sigh.
"You little brat! Where are you now?" Lisa was relieved after she heard from Celestine.
"Canada." Celestine looked around at the small beautiful house, all covered with glass windows.
"If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me. I have to run now, that blabbermouth
Lisa did not went to house instead she walked aimlessly on footpath. Her steps halted outside an amusement park. Parents were enjoying their quality time with their children. Family of three, four and two walked hand in hand. Some parents were buying cotton candy for their children while some were line up to buy ice creams.She shook her head and stepped inside the park. Her eyes wondered and spotted an empty bench. Lisa sat there watching beautiful couples teasing each other and parents doting their children. A lonely tear escaped from her eyes but she wiped it quickly with the back of her hand."Young girl." an old sat beside Lisa and patted her shoulder.Lisa looked at the wrinkled yet smiling face. She passed a warm smile to old lady and turned her gaze."Why are you upset young girl?" She looked at Lisa's reddened eyes and asked with pity."Nothing ma'am. Just some bad memories." Lisa shrugged her shoulders."Call me Lilith, dear.
"Lisa please open the door." Brad banged on the bedroom door. He was afraid, Lisa might hurt herself. It was noon, and she hadn't showed up after yesterday night. She must be hungry.Brad knitted his thick brown brows, his blue orbs narrowed with concern. He had never felt this helpless before."Fine, you left me with no choice." Brad left and returned after five minutes with a bunch of keys. He then unlocked her room door and saw Lisa laying on bed. His brows furrowed, Lisa was not the type of person to sleep till afternoon."Lisa?" He called but there was no response from her."I am sorry, OK? I didn't intend to hurt you." Brad sat on the edge of bed. His eyes trailed on the face of girl. She looks pale and her lips were cracked dry."Hey! Are you listening?" When Brad touched soft skin of her arm, it was hot like lava. He then touched her forehead only to discover that she was burning with high fever."Darn it! What the hell happened to h
"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
"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
