Chapter 173


    173 ckmailed into engagement


    Celestine knew that Rex was ckmailing her. She swallowed and thought she should ept the ring


    but after she leaves, she can take it off, so she stretched out her hand. O


    Rex smiled and put the ring on her ring finger. He looked at her straight fingers and smiled before


    kissing them. “You have fine fingers, Celeste.” He raised his gaze to look at her face, she was pulling a


    long face which made Rex chuckle. “I know what you are thinking. Don’t make the mistake of taking off


    our engagement ring, Celeste. I’ll be mad and you won’t like it.” He beamed.

    Celestine felt like crying. She has never regretted anything in her life like she regretteding here


    last night. She would alwayse to Rex’s house when she’s in Country M. He even gave her a room


    here but nothing like this had ever happened before.


    Rex had always treated her with respect and care. Although he never hid how he really felt about her,


    still, he had never crossed the line. So, what changed now?


    She can’t deny the fact that she enjoyed the wonderful s3xst night. Indeed, Rex was the best man


    she had ever tasted and she wants more of him but still, this is just wrong no matter the angle she


    looked at it from.


    First of all, Maverick might not show any emotion when he finds out, but there’s no denying that he


    might feel awkward. Secondly, Jeslyn!


    Jeslyn still doesn’t know that she, Rex, and Maverick are friends. Even when she arrived at theb for


    the bone marrow test yesterday, Jeslyn was nowhere to be found, which meant that Mav must have


    taken her into their room. When Jeslyn came for the bone marrow test, Celestine was inside Matt’s


    office. So, both of them didn’t meet.


    If Jeslyn was to find out the music coaching was opened solely because of her, how would she feel?


    Their rtionship and friendship will be awkward from now on. Why isn’t Rex trying to understand


    that?!


    Celestine looked at Rex with helplessness in her eyes. This child, she had watched him grow and she


    took care of him all the steps of the way. She even helped him change his diaper three times. 7


    Everyone in their circle nicknamed her Rex’s mother due to how well she paid attention to him and


    cared for him. Even Maverick sometimes called her that.


    What if Rex loved her because he saw her as a mother figure in his life? He respected her a lot back in


    the days and even stopped his bad habits whenever Mav and the others made a joke, threatening to


    tell Rex’s ‘mother‘ what he did wrong. (2)


    Like a time Rex got into a brawl in middle school. When the information got to Maverick, all he told Rex


    was; “Your mom will be disappointed” and Rex never got into a fight until he left high school.


    Celestine happened to be walking towards them when she heard it and couldn’t help butugh, so ever


    since then, she categorized her love for Rex to be how a mother felt for their children until it got out of


    control a few years ago.


    The love grew so much that she almost couldn’t control herself anymore, so for that, she relocated to


    Country Y, hoping that would be helpful but it got worse. Not seeing Rex daily, not hearing his


    12.57


    cheerful voice, and watching him make a fool of himself all formed into one big ball of depression that


    hit her so hard and even affected her music.


    Unknowingly, she drifted from her cheerful music to depressed music. It got worse when she got


    married. She thought it would be helpful but it wasn’t. Her husband wanted fame and she needed him


    to get Rex off her system but it didn’t work.


    Just after a year of marriage, her husband that wouldn’t dare to look at her twice started to misbehave


    and in the end, he got another girl pregnant, which resulted in their divorce. Even though she knew that


    someone was behind it all, her husband still took the me and told the world he was the scumbag.


    All these while, she thought it was Rex but now that he denied it, then who got involved with her


    marriage?


    Celestine brushed the question to the back of her mind Immediately Rex came into her line of view. He


    was leaning in for a kiss.


    “R- Rex, no, no- aaah…”


    Pinned her to the bed and looked into her eyes. “We are engaged now. Do you still need to be like


    this?” His hand started to trail her body.


    Celeste shivered when his fingertip touched her exposed skin. She liked everything he was doing to


    her but she was stubborn, yet Rex was always stubborn and hellbent on achieving his aim.


    He became a Casanova because of Celestine. She kept rejecting his love, so for that, the intention to


    make her a jealous freak popped into his mind and he went for it.


    Yeah, he seeded at first but after she found out he doesn’t sleep with the girls, she felt relieved.


    However, when Rex identally learned about it, he picked out two girls from the crowd of women in


    his life and had s3x with them. It was after that Celestine got into depression andter got married.


    “Celeste, I love you and your opinion no longer matters. I gave you ten years of my life to do whatever


    you want but now, I’m taking control. It doesn’t matter if I have to ckmail you into epting what you


    feel for me or keep f*cking you until you have no choice but to ept. I’ll do anything for you to be


    mine.” He spread her legs after that and pushed himself in.


    Celestine whimpered when he entered her because she wasn’t lubricated enough butter it got better


    and she decided to enjoy it for now. This was tomemorate their engagement. 2
