"That's hardly a welcome," she retorted, rolling her eyes.Realizing his mistake, Celestine tried to make amends. "I'm sorry," he said in a calmer tone. "Please, take a seat."Stella nodded and sat down, but Celestine remained silent, unsure of what to say to her.After five minutes of awkward silence, Stella grew impatient. "Are you going to say anything?" she asked.Celestine shook his head. "I don't know what to say," he admitted.Stella's frustration boiled over. "How can you be silent now?" she exclaimed. "You promised to be with me forever. You promised to marry me. And what about our vows in the field that day? Were they all meaningless to you?"As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and her anger turned to hurt.As soon as Celestine remembered who Stella was, his expression changed dramatically. He hung his head low and apologized, "I am sorry."St

"cheers to Margret for being the new face of Jing Entertainment company," Brenda said loudly, everyone around the table echoed. "Cheers!" Amid Jing entertainment staff and celebrities, Margret was looking tipsy and her cheeks were flushed red, her eyelids were involuntarily shutting down. "th...ank you, eve...ryone" Margret words slurred while responding and she leaned towards her assistant, James. A broad smile appeared on Brenda's lips "James, my sister is drunk, why don't you take her to her room, so that she could rest?" she suggested. "yes, yes" James stuttered, and his hands quivered, but he still helped Margret up and led her away. Brenda narrowed her eyes and her lips curved upward triumphantly, as she watched the two of them stagger towards the direction of the doorways. "James, I am feeling so hot, ain't we in the room already?" Margret complained, her voice was soft and tender, making James freeze in place. His phone rang out making him almost jump in fright, "hold o
She took a deep breath before picking up the call. "Hello" she mumbled with a trembling voice and shaking hands. "Get home now!" a voice rumbled from the phone's speaker, making her lips quake. The call ended abruptly, Margret stared at the wall blankly without moving a muscle. She swiftly dressed up and grabbed her purse, she quickly left the room after giving a lasting look at the man lying on the bed. Margret took a taxi from the hotel to her home, the servant brought her into the sitting room, Mr Owen looked at his first daughter angrily. Brenda and her mother sat on a sofa snickering at Margret, "Dad" Margret called out to her father nervously. "Margret, what have you done? Where have you been all night? is it true that you were whoring around Houston the entire night?" Mr Owen yelled at Margret angrily. Margret trembled in fright and shook her head, she managed to reply "isn't true, Dad" Mr Owen threw the newspaper in his hand at Margret, and the newspaper fell off her f
Margret nodded but she was still crying and tearing up, she cried till late hours and later slept off in the sitting room. The next morning, news media gathered around Millicent's home, the commotion outside was so great that the two tired friends were awakened by it. Millicent peered through the window "The media are here for you, Margret" Margret wasn't surprised, she was expecting it, uprising artists in Jing Entertainment were awaiting such a moment to trample all over her. "Margret, I don't think they are going to leave anytime soon, you have to stay here, and hide from them" Millicent suggested, Margret, nodded in acceptance. The noise coming from outside didn't quieten down the entire day, Millicent sneaked out of the house and purchased a lot of groceries at night. Margret stood up immediately after she saw Millicent return, "were you able to fix my phone? I want to call Daniel, and also call my father" Millicent shook her head, Margret's phone was damaged by the rain, "
The both of them remained silent for some time before Millicent suggested, "Margret, the test isn't one hundred per cent sure, how about we go to the hospital?"Margret eyes lit up, she sprang up on her feet and said anxiously. "you are right, Millicent, we can't be too sure that the test is true, let's quickly head to the hospital"Millicent sighed ruefully, she didn't expect Margret to buy such nonsense, Margret quickly dressed up, "Millicent, why are you still not ready? let's leave quickly"Millicent looked at her strangely "you can't go out like this, what if paparazzi discover you again, we will be in deep trouble"Margret looked at her and nodded "you are right, Millicent, I can't go out like this"Millicent could see the sorrow beneath Margret's eyes, but she hid it well, the two of them disguised themselves and went to the hospital by public transport.The moment the two of them arrived at the hospital, they went to the doctor's office, after a thorough test, both of them we
After Millicent called the police, she was taken to the police station for her report, in the end, the police promised her that they will look for her friend. Fifteen Years Later... The wind blew on Margret's face, she stood before the airport with her luggage, and two extremely eye-catching boys stood side by side. Some passerby took a sneak shot of her and her children, "mom, why are we still standing here, why ain't we moving our luggage?" Margret regained her senses. She had disguised herself judiciously, and over the years, she has grown her music career strong and has become an A-list celebrity. Even in her early thirties, she still looks like candy, and commands followers all over the world, she got a juicy offer from Houston from a renowned international company, so she decided to return home, and face her fear. She exhaled in relief, before boarding the plane with her sons. Nine hours later, the plane landed at Houston airport, the mother and son were leaving the airpor
The question made Charlie Jnr angrier, his frosty gaze lingering on Margret. Suddenly, a scream broke through the tense air: "Bliss!" Margret's attention was diverted from Charlie Jnr., and a small smile spread on her face. Right behind her, a group of people appeared, her manager, Klaus, leading them. "Bliss, why didn't you even call me before coming here? Am I still your manager?" Klaus asked, curling his lips into a frown. Despite being a male, Klaus was always dressed like a lady. Charlie Jr. watched Margret distractedly before he heard a whisper from his PA "Sir Charlie Jr, your father wants to see you." He averted his gaze while leaving with his entourage. By then, Margret was fully back to her senses and realized that Charlie had gone. At that moment, Klaus witnessed her puzzled expression. "Who are you looking for, Bliss?" Margret forced a weary smile and answered: "Nobody." She was too afraid to let the media get any hints about her children's existence. Klaus tried to

Stella's mom initially thought that Charlie Jr. and Caleb wanting to marry her daughter would be good news. However, her joy turned into despair when she realized that Stella was caught in the middle of three brothers."Follow your heart, Stella," her mother said, shaking her head. "I cannot make any definitive statements about this matter because your partner is someone you will be spending the rest of your life with."Stella furrowed her eyebrows as she contemplated her options, deep in thought.****Charlie Jr. drove aimlessly around the city, his mind in turmoil after leaving the bar. Eventually, he found himself at the field where Stella had taken him before. As he sat alone, he gazed up at the moon, his heart heavy with longing for her."I wish you were here with me, Stella," he murmured, his voice soft. "I know you want me to move on, but I can't. I just can't."After a while, he stood up and made his way back to his car, his thoughts still consumed by his feelings for Stella.
Stella was torn. She knew that if she didn't act, the situation would only get worse, and she couldn't bear the thought of things spiralling out of control. Summoning up her courage, she took a deep breath and spoke firmly."Charlie Jr., I have to be honest with you. I'm in love with someone else, and I don't think I'm the right person for you," she said, her tone serious.Charlie Jr. shook his head and replied, "It doesn't matter who he is. I love you, and I won't stop loving you. My feelings for you won't change."With that, he got up and walked away, leaving Stella to watch his departing figure with a complicated mix of emotions.As Charlie Jr. exited the bar, he spotted Caleb seated atop his car's bonnet, smoking. The two locked gazes, and Caleb extinguished his cigarette before standing up."Why do you persist when she's made it clear?" Caleb asked, his tone frosty."Her rejection doesn't change my feelings or my desire to pursue her," Charlie Jr. retorted, his own tone equally c
Celestine's expression turned grave, and he whispered, "Isn't that considered treason?"Madame Agnes affirmed, "Yes, but that's not our concern right now. Your task is to intercept the mercenaries and safely escort the X country minister to Houston.""When do we depart?" Celestine inquired, turning to Butler Mark."Right away. We need to set up an ambush," Butler Mark replied."I'm ready," Celestine declared, and Butler Mark turned to leave."Wait," Madame Agnes called out to Celestine, causing him to pause. She looked at him with a serious expression. "Your safety is of utmost importance."Celestine smiled reassuringly and answered, "Don't worry, Mother. Nothing will happen to me."Madame Agnes nodded, watching as Celestine followed Butler Mark out of the house.As they left, Madame Agnes felt a sense of unease. She knew those mercenaries were ruthless and willing to sacrifice themselves for little gain."He'll be alright," she murmured, trying to ease her worries.****After finishi
"Tell me about yourself and your brother, Celestine," Stella inquired of Caleb.Caleb let out a sigh, unsure of how to feel about the situation. He couldn't help but wonder if Stella had known the truth all along - that he and Celestine had been acting as one person while he was pursuing her. "Let's find someplace quiet," he suggested to Stella, who nodded in agreement. They left the mansion and got into Caleb's car.Meanwhile, Charlie Jr. stood outside, watching them drive away with a cold expression and clenched fists. He was infuriated by what had just transpired.Caleb drove them into the busy city, eventually pulling over at a peaceful location. They got out of the car and settled down."I'm sorry for deceiving you," Caleb said apologetically, "I know you must have found out everything. I was young and foolish."Stella's heart skipped a beat. She had suspected the truth, but hearing it from Caleb made her realize that she had never truly been in love with him. Instead, her feeli
The atmosphere was tranquil, and the soothing notes of the piano filled the air. All present were entranced by Celestine's performance, and not a single person dared to disrupt the spell he had cast. As he played the final note, the sound faded away, leaving fifteen seconds of absolute silence. The audience remained lost in the music's beauty, not wanting to shatter the enchantment.Suddenly, applause erupted, but no one knew who had started it. It quickly spread, and everyone joined in, clapping with enthusiasm. Stella glanced at Caleb, who was silently berating his luck. How could he compete with Charlie Jr. and Celestine for a woman's affections? The situation was a tragedy.Stella turned to Caleb and asked, "You know how to play, right?" His heart sank as he had used Celestine's musical talents to impress Stella before. Trying to maintain a serious expression, he responded, "Of course."Stella was surprised but pleased to hear this. She hadn't expected Caleb to know how to play th
Celestine paused his flute playing and turned to face the figure before him. He was momentarily stunned by Stella's beauty, feeling as though she was the most exquisite lady he had ever laid eyes upon. The fireflies dancing around her only added to her charm, making her utterly irresistible.Furrowing his eyebrows, Celestine tried to place where he had seen this face before. There was something familiar about it that he couldn't quite grasp.Similarly, Stella stood frozen, her heart racing as she felt a different kind of connection with this person who resembled Caleb but possessed a refined handsomeness that even surpassed that of his brothers. As she gazed at him, she couldn't help but wonder if he was one of the triplets. But why did she feel such a strong and unique attraction towards him? Her thoughts became muddled and chaotic.Celestine furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he looked at the beautiful lady in front of him. "Who are you? Do we know each other?" he asked, feeling
Caleb approached Stella with a happy expression, but she was in a daze as she stared at him. To her surprise, they looked exactly alike. Suddenly, a painful memory came flooding back to her when she met Charlie Jr. at the hospital years ago, and he didn't remember her."Stella, do you still remember me?" Caleb asked eagerly as he approached her.Just then, Charlie Jr. coughed, interrupting them. "Hey bro, this is my wife Stella," he said.Caleb's expression darkened as he looked at Charlie Jr. and then turned back to Stella. "What happened? You promised to wait for me," he said, his tone full of confusion and hurt.Stella's heart trembled as she struggled to understand what was happening. She quickly asked the first question that came to mind. "And what is your name?" she asked Caleb.Caleb furrowed his eyebrows, taken aback by her question. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's me, Caleb. Don't you remember me?"Stella's face showed evident shock as she looked back and f
