"Grandma" Emma jumped down the stairs and hugged her grandmother.
"Mrs.Green, I want to have a talk with you." Mathilda politely said and glanced at Emma and Elijah with a smile.
"Yes dear." Mrs.Green walked out to garden.
"I know I am being hasty but I really liked Emma. She is a sweet girl." Mathilda paused and smile. Mrs.Green could guess what was coming next.
"I want to ask for Emma's hand, for my son Elijah." Mathilda finally said.
"I am happy to hear that child but its her life and I can't decide on her behalf." Mrs.Green was happy about Emma. Finally! She too was going to settle.
"Then let's go in and talk to her." Mathilda and Mrs.Green walked in and smiled at each other.
"Emma what do you think about my son?" Mathilda asked taking her hands.
"He is a nice guy." Emma smiled bashfully and lowered her head to hide her blushed cheeks.
"Then what if I ask you to marry him?" Mathilda looked at her nervo
Seven months passed in a blink and it was the month of delivery. Celestine laid in the bed, caressing her big round belly. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and Celestine yelled in pain. "Damien!!!" She yelled with all the strength she had. "Damien gets the car ready, her water has broken. Mathilda yelled and helped Celestine to leave the bed. She was drenched in a cold sweat. Damien rushed to her and swept her up in his arms. " I am here. Everything is gonna be alright." Damien coaxed Celestine and rubbed her hands but nothing was easing her pain. They went to the hospital and Celestine was pushed into the emergency room. Damien paced back and forth in frustration. Inside the emergency room, Celestine kept on screaming. "Mrs Romano push harder, we can see the head of the baby." The doctor encouraged her to push. "Yes, you are doing great. Keep on pushing, with a little more force." Celestine nodded to
Its been 4 years since that incident happened. It had caused a huge impact on Celestine. She was afraid to send Zack school but Damien somehow convinced her. "Mom I am not a girl." Zack coldly said to his mother who was guiding him what to do and not to do. "Still you are my only son. I can't afford to lose you." Celestine shed tears and hugged Zack. "Ok. Don't cry. I will listen to you." Zack wiped tear from his mothers face. Like Damien he too can't see his mother crying. "What did I miss?" Damien picked
"Zack, Ryan is here for you," Celestine yelled from the kitchen. She was making her son's favorite dish. "Coming mom." A low magnetic voice resounded from the stairs and Celestine smiled at her son. He was now turned into a fine man. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes just like his father. Perfect jawline and cut cheekbones. His masculine body attracted girls towards him. Zack was basketball champion and also a topper of his university. Thousand of girls flaunt around d him but he did not bait an eye on them. He remembered his mother's words. "It doesn't matter if that girl is ready to throw herself on you or not but don't lose your conscience because of your desires. Be a man and respect women. They deserve respect too. But if someone tries to take advantage of you then show them who you are." Zack shook his head kissed his mother on her cheek. It was a daily routine for him. "Hey Bro! Are you ready for the mat
"The tumor in her brain is getting bigger and bigger. If this goes on she will die soon. Maybe in a minute or an hour. We can't say anything. If you want to save her then arrange 4 million for her operation including her medical expenses. After arranging money, deposit it at the reception so that we will start her surgery. Now please get a side we have other patients to look after" the bulky doctor said rudely and harshly pushed her.Celestine stumbled on her feet and fell to the ground on her knees."From where I will arrange this much money? I don't have any family and for relatives, they can hardly earn for their regular necessities." Celestine knelt in a corner of the hospital with puffy black eyes.After sitting there for some time she managed to stand on her feet and walked with trembling steps. All the way her mind was repeating one-word "money".She entered her village and begged everyone for their help."I am begging you all please len
"What is your name, little girl?" Lisa asked while driving. There was a dark smile lingering on her brown lips. "Celestine," she said looking at the scenery outside the window. "You seem very young to be in the bar," Lisa said while looking at her up and down. After a second she concentrated on the road. "I am from the near village. My sister is suffering from cancer and for her surgery, I need 4 million." Celestine sobbed at the end of her sentence. "I don't have any family and in search of a job I came to town and ended up in that bar." Celestine continued. Her voice was soft and feeble. "Poor girl. It will take some time but you will earn more than 4 million. It depends on how big of a fish you catch." Lisa lightly stroked Celestine's hair and a sudden sadness flashed in Lisa's eyes whic

And rich people like to live in a high end society where they can show off their wealth to their rivals." Employee finished his speech."Antonio bring all the details of this project to my office.

Maira exclaimed and hugged the struggling Celestine."Where am I?" Celestine scrunched her nose. Her beautifully arched eyebrows slightly bumped creating a frown."Calm down little girl. You are in my room." Maira walked to the coffee table
