Chapter 89Celine Coleman POVJake stared at me disgustingly like he could kill me at that moment. "You got mated to that crippled bastard...""I wouldn't have you insult my husband, Jake. You need to show him some respect," I snapped at him, and he huffed as he threw his head back."You are really defending him, Celine? You are under his spell, right?" He scoffed and bit his lip as he blinked his eyes a few times."Jake...""Fine... You have to choose between the two of us, Celine," He cut me off, and my jaw dropped to the ground as I stared at him wordlessly."Ja... Jake...""You want to be with him... So why not go to him? Let's cease being siblings," He further said, and my heart sank into my stomach. Tears brimmed in my eyes as I stared at him. I wanted to try to at least talk him out of it, but knowing that I would only be wasting my time because he would never listen to me, then I didn't see any reason to try to talk him out of it."Let's pretend we are not siblings... If we e
Chapter 90Celine Coleman POVI sat on one of the couches in the living room, and buried my face between my palms. It was hard to stop my tears no matter how hard I tried to. This was difficult to handle, losing my brother was making me go crazy, but then, I couldn't leave my husband because he wanted me to, right?Again, I glanced at Bryant whose eyes were still closed. I managed to get him to the living room even though it was almost impossible to move him.I sniffled, then reached for my phone and scrolled through it. I still have Mr. Miles's number, so I dialed it. He picked up on the first ring."I've been worried sick about you. Have you gotten home now?" His worried voice sounded from the other end, and I briefly sighed."Hmm. I'm home now," I replied to him, and I heard him sigh in relief."That's a relief. Have you showered yet? Have you gotten something to eat?" He asked, but the truth is, I haven't had time for that yet."Yes, I have. My husband already made something by th
Chapter 91"What! You are going to get divorced?" Nolan almost freaked out when he heard the news. It was hard to believe because it didn't make any sense. They recently got mated for goodness sake, so what was this about getting a divorce?"Talk to the lawyer. I need the papers ready within twenty-four hours," Bryant didn't seem to care about Nolan's concern even though deep inside him, he didn't want this to happen. He was so in love with Celine that he didn't want to let go, but what was he supposed to do now?"You can't be serious about this, Bryant... You just recently did your mating ceremony. How can you think of divorcing her?" Nolan tried to reserve his respect for Bryant even though he was already losing it."Why should I not divorce her? Give me a reason why I should not...""Because she loves you genuinely, and you know it... She has been by your side, she risked her life for you, not once or twice, and she has been with you even in the toughest moment of your life... Are
Chapter 92Celine Coleman POVAfter I left Bryant's house, I couldn't count how many missed calls I'd gotten from Mr. Nathan, Nolan, Madam Leila, and of course, Bryant wasn't exempted from it, but I never answered any of their calls because I didn't have plans of going back to Bryant. He didn't deserve me.I didn't have much money on me after I refunded Mr. Miles the money he spent that night that Jake got into trouble, and the one he spent at the hospital. Although he asked me not to refund, but I insisted. I didn't want to owe him anything although I still owed him for doing me a favor of saving my brother and helping me take him to the hospital. I stayed at the hotel to clear my head and think of what to do next, but even after three days, I couldn't still think about anything and I was already running out of time. My money would soon expire here, and I would have to move out then. I might end up in the street after because I didn't have anywhere else to go, but at least I needed
Chapter 93Celine Coleman POV"Mr. Miles?" I called surprisingly, and he smiled at me."You are welcome, Ms. Celine. We meet again," He smiled at me, but nothing was funny so there was no reason to smile at him. Was he stalking me?"What are you doing here?" I asked him confusingly as I walked to stand across from him, and he shrugged."I'm the manager here," He replied to me as he shrugged again, but it didn't make any sense to me, so I could only scoff."What do you mean you are...""I work as a manager here. It's a long story. Why are you here, by the way?" He asked me after he dismissed my question, but I wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily. I needed to know who he was, and why he seemed to be following me around. Did he submit my details to these people? I wanted to give that a thought, but it didn't make any sense considering that he didn't have my CV."You submitted your documents to him back in Bryant's company," My subconscious mind reminded me, and I knotted my ey
Chapter 94"What do you mean you still can't find her?" Bryant snapped angrily as he slammed his hands on the desk. He had sent some of his palace guards to go find Celine and they were here now, telling him that they could not find her."Forgive me, Alpha...""Get out... Just get out!" He snapped at the guard, and he bowed before he walked away, and Bryant sank his fingers into his hair. He grabbed his hair and slowly pulled it. "What have you done, Bryant... What have you done?" He whispered as he slowly ruffled his hair. He thought he could take the pain, but it was becoming more unbearable for him. Not having Celine beside him had messed up his head, and he couldn't help but regret his action. He shouldn't have asked for a divorce.He reached for his phone and dialed her number again, but this time, it turned out that she had blocked him. 'Can you please answer your call? I need to talk to you''Are you safe?''I'm not mad at you anymore. We can talk about this. Can you please c
Chapter 95Celine Coleman POVThe sound of my blaring alarm pulled me out of my deep slumber, and even though I still felt tired and sleepy, I knew I needed to get out of bed and get ready for work. Sitting up on the bed, I reached for my phone tiredly and unlocked it. Furthermore, I switched on the data connection, and immediately, tons of messages popped up on my phone. Even though some of the texts were from unfamiliar numbers, I knew that it was Bryant. Yes, I couldn't deny that I missed him so much and desperately wanted to talk to him, or even see him, but then, I couldn't be with someone who doesn't have the slightest trust in me.Pushing all my thoughts away, I stood up tiredly from bed and dragged myself into the bathroom, had a long and relaxing bath, and soon got ready for work.My phone beeped just when I was about to leave the hotel room, and I checked to see a text from Mr. Miles.'Should I pick you up on my way to work? I'm just about to leave my house' I read through
Chapter 96Celine Coleman POVFor the umpteenth time, I glanced over to the supposed CEO's office, wondering what the fuck a teenager knows about handling a whole big firm like this, but on second thought, I shouldn't underestimate anyone. The CEO wouldn't have put her there if she was not capable of doing her thing.The sound of the office ringing telephone caught my attention, and I picked it up."This is Celine Coleman, speaking from...""It's me. Come inside," I looked at her office when I heard her voice, and I found her holding the telephone to her ear."I'll be there shortly, ma'am," And with that, I dropped the phone, stood up, and walked over to the door. I knocked on it and when she ushered me inside, I pushed the door open and walked inside."You called for me, ma'am,""Just call me Claire. I'm not the CEO," She shrugged, and I slowly nodded. My kid brother would be of the same age as her or even older, so that did justice to it."Do you need anything?" I asked her, and she
