Celine was on her way out when a lady bumps into her. Celine brows squints as the lady pushed her way toward Erickson
“Baby!” Hannah squeaked as she embraces Erickson. Erickson pushed her, disengaging from the hug, he crinkled his lips in disgust glimpsing his fiancee almost naked. Hannah was on a crop top and a skirt above her knee line, she was aware that Erickson disliked her dress mode but she can't afford to lose her fans and followers just to satisfy her lover neither did she wish to lose Erickson. As a celebrity, she decided to juggle her lover alongside her acting career.
Celine was forced to turn around and her heart hammered glimpsing them closer. Jealously sprinkles on that unhappy soul, she gasps when Hannah placed a kiss on Erickson's lips.
“Haven't I told you to never step foot in my home? Uh?” Erickson's voice thundered, and Celine waited to satisfy her curious state of mind.
Hannah pulled her arm around his neck “What could I do? Helen asked me to come over since your nasty family members are out. I came to rekindle our love, baby.” Hannah gave a lustrous smile, her fingers moving steadily from his cheeks to his neck. Her squeaky and soft voice intoxicates him so he pulled her by her slim waist, Hannah leans forward with her eyes slammed.
Erickson was about to launch a kiss at her but he decided to surprise his lover “Get lost” he whispers, letting go of her. Hannah's shoulders drop “Why? Didn't you miss me?”
Hannah tries to maintain eye contact with him. “I didn't!”
“You liar! You did, who wouldn't miss a sexy wealthy, and influential celebrity? I'm the talk of the town”
Hannah turns around to entice him with the expectation that Erickson would subconsciously slam her ass but he didn't.
Erickson eyes were icy and he doesn't give a damn when it comes to maintaining his word.
His eyes were on Celine whose eyes became watery all of a sudden and she felt betrayed.
“What are you still doing here?” Erickson bolted.
Celine feigned a smile “I…I…” she stammered, turning around to walk out of that damn door and probably never step a foot in their house.
Hannah turned to Celine, she was astonished when she remembered the trending picture of Henry and Celine on the internet. She didn't notice Celine at first when she came in because everyone was inferior to her except for Erickson.
“Wow, so your father's concubine had the guts to come over? What audacity!” Hannah scoffed, she let go of Erickson and faces the intruder.
Celine wished she could give a befitting response but her shattered heart even made it more difficult for her to breathe properly.
She turned around to walk out, but Hannah holds her firmly and violently pulls her to the couch.
“You haven't answered my question, young lady. What gave you the gut to come over? Huh? Harlots like you will always be stepped over by men, read my lips.” Hannah threatened. The threat gave rise to Celine's almost-dying ego.
“Not everyone is like you. Not everyone sleeps around as you do. Being a harlot doesn't assure you that everyone is like you.” Celine blotted, her astute gaze looking directly into Hannah's. Hannah became scared of losing an argument over a lady that she believes is not up to her standard.
Hannah decided to use force to generate fear in Celine. She raised her hand in resentment to slap Celine but her arm was hung in the air. She looked at her hand to know the force that obstructed that drastic movement, it was Erickson. He firmly held Hannah's hand.
“She's being framed. I don't think she has anything to do with dad she isn't his spec.” Erickson said.
Celine soul rejoiced, Erickson taking sides with her made her heart skip again. What a strange feeling! Celine blushes, and she rolls a strand of her hair.
Hannah was disappointed, she puts down her hand and ran into a room.
Celine beams “Thanks, Erickson.” Celine cooed. Celine's voice had never been so cool. He didn't give any response, he ran after his lover. Running in his bathrobe made him hilarious.
Celine let out a chuckle before she walked out of the house. Just the minute she took a step out, a car halts and Don alights with veins throbbing from his neck. “You! I knew you would here. You worthless thing.” Don yelled at her, he was damn ready to pull up a fight with her but Emily interrupted.
“Celine, I can't believe you bring down yourself to this extent. Even with your mum's man?” Emily yelled with excitement about Celine's flushed face. “Mum's man?” Don paused with thoughts running through his head. He came early from work to make Celine's life a living hell and now he leans his back on his car with deep thoughts.
Celine had enough drama for the day so she just walked away and let them yell till they were tired. She wasn't embarrassed, instead feeling blessed for a man to take sides with her.
She wanted to take a cab but a walk down the road, wouldn't hurt. She kept on smiling to herself until a scent of roses swept her nose.
She turned to the flower shop with a smile
“Mum would love some of these,” Celine said inwardly. She bought freshly plucked roses and on her way, she bought a cellphone to know more about those rumors.
She later took a cab.
“Drive me to A**** hospital,” Celine commanded, the driver turned around and turned out to be Erickson.
“You?” she was startled pointing at the driver
She blinks and later found out that she was being delusional about seeing Erickson.
Afterward, every male she met transformed into Erickson. She slaps her face “What the heck is wrong with me?” The feeling was so strange and she thought she was running mad.
Thankfully, she was already in the hospital but she went into Bianca's room and laid the roses close to her bed. “Mum, I bought you roses,” Celine said, she touches her hand. Nevertheless, she wasn't satisfied with her mother's situation. She thinks she's being punished for not showing her love at the right time.
“I miss you mum, please come out of this nightmare.” Celine pleaded with tears almost dropping from her eyes. Crying wouldn't solve anything, crying wouldn't make her heal quickly and she's aware of this.
