Celestine observed Stella's joyful antics with fascination. She tugged on his arm, and he rose to his feet. "Make a wish," Stella urged, gazing at him with a broad smile. The two closed their eyes, surrounded by flickering fireflies. Stella was the first to open her eyes. "What did you wish for? Tell me," she inquired eagerly. Celestine shook his head. "If I tell you, it won't come true," he replied. Stella pondered his words for a moment before nodding in agreement. But then, her face lit up with a smile. "My wish is simple. I want to grow old with you, Caleb. I love you," she declared. Celestine was taken aback, but he responded, "I love you too." Stella rushed into Celestine's arms, and they held each other tightly before interlocking their fingers and walking back to her home. "I have to go," Celestine told Stella, causing her to pout and protest, "But I thought you were staying until tomorrow." Celestine shook his head and said, "I will call you soon. Can I have your phot
Peter's voice boomed with anger, "Go get her number!" Bennet felt intimidated and didn't dare show any signs of displeasure. He immediately set out to find Margret Owen, but unfortunately, she had already left and driven home by the time he arrived. As soon as she drove into the courtyard, Celestine and Caleb, who were inside the house, noticed her and rushed out to greet her. They took the shopping bags from her and the three of them went inside together. Margret headed to her room while Celestine and Caleb took care of putting away the groceries. As soon as Margret sat on her bed, her phone rang. She frowned at the caller ID, which showed that Charlie Jr was calling. When she answered, she heard a crisp, vibrant voice on the other end of the line. "This is Margret Owen," she said. But before she could say anything else, Charlie Jr spoke up. "If you want to see my father, you can. He's out of his coma." Margret was taken aback by the news, but before she could respond, Charlie Jr h
Charlie Jr had come to the hospital with the intention of finding Margret Owen and interrogating her about why she had caused his father to become violent. However, he was taken aback by the scene he witnessed at the entrance of the hospital, where his mother was viciously attacking the woman. "Mother," Charlie Jr called out to Chloe, who appeared uneasy and tried to divert the conversation. "How is your Dad doing?" Margret, unwilling to be a bystander, stepped forward to leave. Chloe's face darkened and she clenched her fists, wishing she could grab Margret and tear her apart. "Mom, Dad is awake. You should go and see him," Charlie Jr interrupted, disapproving of his mother's violent behaviour in public.Chloe strode confidently into the hospital, followed closely by her team. As they walked away, Salvation spoke up, directing his comment towards Charlie Jr. "Sir Charlie Jr, forgive me for saying this, but it seems like your recent behaviour is showing favouritism towards that woma
Charlie Sr's opened the file when he received the document. His face darkened when he started flipping through the pages of the document. "Don't keep me waiting." Madame Agnes said coldly. Charlie Sr glanced at her and signed the document with a resolute facial expression. "Retrieve the document" Madame Agnes snorted coldly, and turned around, leaving with the entourage she came with, in tows. As they made their way to the elevator, Charlie Jr encountered them. "Junior, come with me," Madame Agnes instructed Charlie Jr. "Of course, Grandma," he replied, following her obediently. They all went to Madame Agnes' mansion, where Charlie Jr and Madame Agnes, accompanied by Butler Mark, were left alone in Madame Agnes' pavilion. "Give it to him," Madame Agnes told Butler Mark. Butler Mark bowed and stepped forward, handing the document to Charlie Jr. Charlie Jr flipped through the pages, his surprise evident on his face. "Junior, I no longer trust your father. I hope you won't disapp
Brenda was taken aback by Daniel's foolishness in believing that Margret would still fall in love with him. She couldn't believe the level of delusion he was under. In frustration, she kicked Daniel's leg. Another servant appeared, joining the one who had knocked Daniel unconscious. Brenda issued a cold order, "Administer the drugs and take him to where the woman is." The servant hesitated and voiced a concern, "Madam Brenda, an overdose of the sexual enhancement drugs could be harmful." Brenda's anger flared, and she slapped the servant's face, sneering, "Why do you speak such nonsense? Just do as I say." The servant responded meekly, "I apologize, Madam Brenda."He knelt before unconscious Daniel and pried his mouth open and fed him the drugs. Brenda led the way as the two servants dragged Daniel off the floor and followed. As they approached the doorways, Brenda halted abruptly upon hearing footsteps behind her. "Madam Brenda, why are we stopping? We're almost at the room, an
Madame Agnes noticed that Margret had accepted her proposal with little resistance, so she decided that there was no need for further discussion. "Very well, I'll arrange for Celestine to travel abroad today," Madame Agnes informed Margret. Margret was surprised at how easily Madame Agnes had been persuaded. "I'm so grateful for your kindness, Madame Agnes," Margret expressed her appreciation. Madame Agnes waved it off, saying, "Don't thank me, Celestine is my grandson." They went back inside the room, where Butler Mark had already taken Celestine's luggage to the car. "I'll miss you, Mom," Celestine said, hugging Margret, who smiled in response. She held Celestine at arm's length and replied affectionately, "If you miss me, just come visit me, and I'll do the same when I come to see you." Celestine flashed a grin and replied with a cheerful "Sure, Mommy." Caleb's expression turned stern as he chided Celestine, "Please don't behave in such a childish and entitled manner. When
Margret was taken aback when Charlie Sr asked her to visit him in the hospital, using his son as a shield. Her opinion of him instantly soured - what a petty and cowardly man! But when she tried to close the door on them, Charlie Jr dropped a hint that made her uneasy. "Your son is a student at the Central Military Academy in the Capital," he said, his tone carrying a veiled threat. Margret scowled, sensing that she was being threatened. "What's that supposed to mean?" she demanded icily. Charlie Jr shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, nothing much. Just that the Principal happens to be a good friend of mine. And if you continue to be stubborn, I might have to drop a few words to him." Margret's heart sank. She knew that Charlie Jr wasn't just bluffing - he meant what he said. With a deep breath, she clenched her fists and ground her teeth. "Fine. I'll come with you to the hospital," she spat, storming off to change.Salvation, Sir Charlie Jr's assistant, spoke up after noticing that the w
Margret had no idea about the secret plot. After leaving the hospital, she stopped by a bookstore to purchase some books. On her way home, she noticed an individual standing at her gate. Feeling annoyed, she honked at the person, but they didn't budge. Margret stepped out of her car and politely asked, "Excuse me, can you please move out of the way so I can enter?" She gestured towards the gate with her hand. To her surprise, the stranger was holding a gun and had a sinister smirk on his face. Before she could react, a car screeched to a halt next to her, and seven armed individuals got out. "Margret Owen, come with us," one of them commanded in a cold, unforgiving tone. Margret was bewildered. She didn't recognize any of these people and couldn't imagine why they would want her. Nonetheless, she complied and got into their car.Once inside, the men swiftly donned masks and released a gas that quickly overpowered Margret, causing her to lose consciousness. After an hour had passed
"Stop him!" Chloe commanded her men.Despite his valiant efforts in exchanging blows, Charlie Jr. was unable to force his way through and was kicked back. As Chloe's men continued to charge forward in overwhelming numbers, Charlie Jr. fought his way out of the room, growing increasingly fatigued.However, when Chloe's men grabbed hold of him, Charlie Jr. desperately struggled to break free, his chest rising and falling with exertion. Despite his fierce resistance, the grip on him proved too strong to overcome.Chloe looked at him condescendingly as she sneered, "Junior, amongst your brothers, you are the most foolish; who are you to make me work for you?""Boss, the helicopter has taken off," one of Chloe's underlinings informed her.A huge smile appeared on Chloe's face, and she said with a tone and gesture of generosity, "You may let him since he wants to watch his lover explode."As soon as Charlie Jr. was released, he appeared to lose his mind. He repeatedly muttered Stella's name
Stella's lips twitched at the sight of Celestine's dismissive attitude. She hadn't expected him to treat her like a nuisance. "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
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
