CHAPTER 76 – Under Attack
“Hello, Tiff. Remember the pool guy? The shirtless guy in the photo, he’s a criminal” Celine immediately shared the information to Tiff when they reached the house.
Daniel went straight to the study room to continue his work.
She thought it’s imperative that she share the information with Tiff in case she decided to pick a random guy to replace Aaron, she could exclude the pool guy from the selection.
“I don’t remember anymore” Tiff said.
“Aaron deleted the photo, he said it’s not good for the publicity” she added casually.
Celine understood their reason, at least she has done her part.
She was about to end their call when Tiff got curious.
“How’s the boss?”
“Okay, I guess” Celine doesn’t think something is wrong with Daniel.
Based on his reaction this morning, he’s not as affected as she thought he would be.

Both Oscar and Celine were surprised at his revelation.Does it mean he knew all along who was attacking them?“What happened between the two of you?” Daniel asked casually.He remembered the name Clarence was mentioned by Brent Hardwood the first time they met.He didn’t pay much attention since he focused on Brent.Celine looked between Oscar and Daniel then decided to tell what happened.Clarence Finn was their manager at the bank and he has openly declared his love for Celine.Everyone thinks he was just being playful and Celine couldn’t care less.It was pretty harmless initially, then he started calling her ‘my love’ even introducing her as his love to his subordinates.She still ignored it as it didn’t really affect her work and her performance.Until one day, they attended a work event together and Clarence Finn tried to harass her.She filed for resignation
Crack My Code CHAPTER 78 – Bitter Gourd
Daniel slowly released her mouth and put down the phone.“Please stop calling me that. Or I may have to call Mrs. Finn” now it was Clarence’s turn to be silent.That was unexpected.After his one-way flirting, he would suddenly stop at the mention of his wife.“Bitter gourd” Clarence suddenly say after a moment of silence.“What was that?”“I remember you said it was your favourite. We’ll have bitter gourd tomorrow”“Have a good night, my love” Clarence said then ended their call.She felt goosebumps all over her body.“Someone’s forcing him to do this” Celine looked at Daniel.Daniel raised his eyebrow in confusion.“Bitter gourd” she said.“There’s one time we’re having team lunch and he ordered bitter gourd”“I told the team I hate it and the only way to
Crack My Code CHAPTER 79 – Marry Me
Celine just smiled.What happened to turning his life around?People are only loyal to their own benefits.When your back is against the wall, it’s normal to turn to your instinct for survival.She understands that very well.Isn’t it insulting when someone tries to play you thinking you don’t know anything but in fact you know everything?Sometimes it’s fun to watch people scramble for words trying to hide their real intention.But she could see through all the lies.If she was able to interpret Minerva’s subtle change of tone, or slight pupil dilation or twitch of her lips, reading Clarence’s hypocrisy is very basic for her.“So, is someone going to pick me up or we will go to the parking lot where my captor is waiting for us?” she asked casually.“I don’t have a choice, I’m sorry”“If you think you can get her back, you’r
Crack My Code CHAPTER 80 – Runs in the Family
“Done?” he casually asked. She nodded her head then went inside the car. She has a lot to ask but she’s scared to find out the truth. Knowing Daniel, he wouldn’t sugar-coat anything. “I don’t remember you smoke” she said casually while lowering her window. “I do, sometimes” “You know I was hoping when I wake up, I would be in our room and you would be there” she tried not to sound reproachful but her voice cracked in the end. “I was so scared, Daniel. You asked me to trust you and I did. But you weren’t there” she let her built-up emotions out. Daniel stopped the car on the side of the road and tried to comfort her. She must be very traumatized with what happened. But he remembered the scenes differently. As soon as Clarence sent the details of their meet-up, the restaurant was secured and the people inside were hired men. When she passed out, it was Daniel who carried her in the car and
Crack My Code CHAPTER 81 – Little Annie
“Mum, can we meet?” Daniel called Sylvia as soon as he checked-in in his hotel room.“Are you okay, son?” Sylvia’s gentle voice was heard on the phone.“I’m okay. It’s little Annie” he wasn’t able to finish his words when Sylvia cut him off.“Is she okay? I thought she’s abroad. What happened to her?”“Son, please make sure she’s okay. I’ve been dying to see her again. I hope she still remembers me” Sylvia was clearly concerned.Daniel could only close his eyes.He doesn’t know how Sylvia will react if the little Annie that she cared for 25 years ago is right under her nose all along.“Mum, she’s okay. She wants to know about her biological mother”“Is it alright to meet with you?” he heaved a deep breath.He knew he’s opening a can of worms but he could not carry all the secrets

Daniel raised both of his hands as if in surrender.“Mum, Uncle Carlos wanted her to have a private life” Daniel started.To the rest of the world, Roland Yates’ daughter is named Anne Yates.When she turned five years old, every one stopped calling her little Annie and used her first name: Celine.Only those who are closed to her knew about her real identity and she grew up privately as Celine.Away from the media, away from danger.“Little Annie and Celine are the same” Daniel concluded.“But you went abroad, you said to keep her safe. I thought you accompanied her abroad?” Sylvia got confused.“I have kept her safe. But she never left the country”Sylvia looked at the woman in front of her.She could not believe that the daughter she longed to hold for a long time is the same girl she’s meeting every Saturday at the hospice care facility.The gi

When Sylvia recovered from the operation, Marge Stevenson asked her to manage the hospice care facility.Mrs. Stevenson understood how she felt and she tried her best to help Sylvia in other way.One day, Sylvia was surprised when Roland Yates visited her with little Annie.He wanted to maintain his current relationship with her and Daniel and he propose to have a regular get together or vacations.She agreed initially but she started feeling guilty after a few months.She feels like she’s being his mistress.‘Mistress is only applicable if there is a wife’ Roland Yates said meaningfully.‘I’m married only in paper, Syl. I decide who I treat as my wife’‘Don’t think so much. She’s well compensated and she knows her place’Should she be satisfied with that?The paper that he was talking about makes all the difference.Slowly, she started to keep her
Crack My Code CHAPTER 84 – Still Publicity
“You’re just tired. You don’t mean that” Daniel objected.Does she really think he would just agree to whatever she demands after what they’ve been through?“We already agreed that we will get divorced as soon as I received my money”“This is long overdue” she was surprised at how calm she is in negotiating with Daniel.As if all her energy were drained.“I don’t have time for this” Daniel said then covered himself with a blanket.He clearly disagrees.She knew she cannot force him to sign.And after all that Daniel has put up with her, he deserves all the leniency in the world.She just needs to convince him that they would be better off separately.Why?She cannot answer that right now.She just feels like it’s not right to continue anymore.The ‘why’ and ‘because’ will surely come later.
