The audience laughed and clapped at his disappointed face. He did not have enough yet. The crowd was still going wild at his cute gesture and it made Celeste blush hard. She punched his chest lightly and received a wild response from everyone.

"That's enough." Noah said to Edwin from the corner. Edwin wanted to beat the pulp out of him. Who does he think he is? Did he forget what he did at the wedding? People were so embarrassed that if he didn't let Carissa breathe more than a second they must have left giving them some privacy.


Edwin rolled his eyes at him. "Get lost bro". He roared and Noah giggled. "Maybe I should hold her...." Noah was referring towards Erin and Edwin passed her to him gladly. That's why couples do not like to have kids during their newly wed time. They like to enjoy themselves.

Erin was already used to the presence of Noah. In the absence of Edwin, Noah and Carissa were the only one for Celeste. They were by her side through all thick and thin and Edwin and Celeste are very grateful to them.

Noah took a seat beside Carissa. She was not well and baby Erin was so happy to see them.


"You really love daughters". Carissa commented when she saw him planting a kiss on her cheek. "What did you think? I was damn serious". He looked deeply in her eyes.

"You are scaring me. What if we will have a son?" She wanted to fulfill his dream and that was putting her under pressure.


Noah giggled and he snuggled one hand across her shoulders, "Darling you don't have to worry about me. It's okay even if it is a boy. We have Erin. We can pair them up and secondly, we will have to work hard to get a daughter". He winked and Carissa chuckled at his imagination. The baby hasn't seen the world yet and his overprotective father is trying to set him on a blind date.

"You are such a pervert". Carissa commented.

"Only for you". Noah retorted back. No one can win an argument with him.

She could only sigh.

At night, under the moonlight on the beach, a newlywed couple was walking on the cold sand. They changed into their comfortable clothes and his eyes were only at one person. She looked so relieved and he was happy to see her relaxed. Because he has never seen her like this before.

"You are not scared of me now, right?" Edwin asked her because she mostly tells him that she is scared of hima and that was the only reason that held them back.

"Loving you scares me". She replied looking at the vast sea under the moonlight. Celeste has fallen for him even before she could realize it and that fact scares her. Giving a heart to someone is not an easy deal and she did against her will without any regrets.

"Why?" He could not understand the meaning behind her words and looked at her with curiosity.

For the first time under the bright moon light, Celeste intensely looked into his eyes like trying to figure out his thoughts and answered, "What if you will leave me in the future.... what if we can't be together.... What if you don't love me anymore..." she had a lot of insecurities in her mind and these ifs were eating her up from inside.

He stopped walking in his track and turned her towards him, he was holding her both shoulders, "Do you think what I said in front of the world today were just mere words? Don't you trust me, Celeste? Even if it cost my life I will love you and Erin and will never leave you. I promise. Just trust me. You are only one for me. I love you with my whole heart".

His words calmed down her heart. She could see the sincerity in his words in his tone. And if he wanted to leave her, he could have done it in the past. He wouldn't have put so much effort in recovery just to see her again.

Celeste smiled brightly. "I am happy to be with you". She said, "And I will never be scared of you again." Her arm tightened around his waist and she put her head on his chest. "I love you". Those three words stunned him. He was shocked, surprised, happy, and then angry.

He sighed and separated her from himself, "Why did you say it first? Ahh.... Celeste you ruined it". Edwin growled.

She frowned upon his words and her brows knitted together. What the F**k!!!!! She just confessed and he is behaving this way.

Celeste clenched her teeth together and jerked her hand away from his grip.

She was mad.

Sh*t!!!!!

"I am sorry Celeste. I didn't mean to. Please hear me out." He held her hand again.

"Oh.. I am sorry. Let's consider I never said this". She sulked. "Forget it."

"Hey.... hear me out". He made her stop in his tracks.

"I am going back to sleep". She was going to make him say those three magical words.

He immediately held her wrist and pulled her towards himself. She placed her palms at his chest to gain her balance back. Before she could react he was kissing her, sucking the soul out of her body. No matter what he can't get enough of her. She has made him an addict. "I LOVE YOU". He said while letting her catch the breath, but before her breathing could get normal he was at it again.

Hearing the words "I love you" from his mouth had a totally different impact. It shook her entire world. Her face turned red and the tea pink flower tattoo on her temple shun brightly under the moonlight and she blushed hard.

He smiled at her reaction. "Are you shy? Don't tell me". He was not going to let the chance of teasing her slip away.

She punched his chest but this time he held her hand. "Why are you always hitting me?" He frowned and his grip tightened around her wrist.

"Then why are you behaving this way?" She complained and rolled her eyes away.

"Stop rolling your eyes". His jaws tightened.

"You haven't replied to me yet". Celeste was referring to his behaviour gaining a deep sigh from him.

"I can do anything to you. I am your husband and I have the full rights to you". Edwin raised an eyebrow while describing his rights to her.

"F**k with your rights". He forgot one thing here. She is not submissive. She isn't at all. "I hate it when you try to act like a Dom." Celeste was really fuming at him this time. It's been just a few hours since they got married and here we are all witnessing a love quarrel.

"Celeste mind your words." These women are not easy to tame. They really aren't.....

Meanwhile, Celeste once again rolled her eyes. She wanted to leave here. But how? Erin was with Noah and Carissa. They insisted that they will take care of her for the night so they can enjoy the time with each other.

She had no excuse.

"Okay as you wish. I can be anything for you". Edwin made a reckless comment in order to lift her mood up. "As long as you and Erin are with me. It doesn't matter".

Celeste melted at his words. Aish!!!!!

He can't be sweeter than this?

"You have really learnt some skills. What did you do during the past year?" He hasn't told her about the details of the accident. All Edwin could do was to smile and avoid her eyes. He does not want her to be worried about him

Celeste held his chin, "You can tell me, Edwin. I am your wife and I have every right to know about your past and what you have gone through."

"It was a horrible nightmare which I don't want to remember. Let beyonce be beyonce." He was observing the waves of the sea. They were emerging from an unknown origin and would be near his feet.

"Edwin please...." she insisted.

Edwin held her hand and started to walk beside the sea. "Celeste before anything..... I want to apologize to you". She heard him saying and his words puzzled her.

"What are you......" he cut her in the middle.

"For being rude to you in the past. For not believing you. For not trusting you. For treating you like a......... whore". And he really did.

Celeste was surprised to know that he remembers everything. "You must have your reasons. I don't hate you anymore for behaving this way and I have forgiven you long ago. But I really want to know what you have been through".

He took a deep breath. "On the day of the accident I met my...." words were not coming out like he wanted, "My mother. You know she left me. She didn't care about me in the past. I was born out of a mistake. I did my best to keep the family together but did not have the understanding of the matters. In the end, that woman left us. She left me and dad for another man. We were nothing in her eyes. We were a mistake which she wanted to undo." A tear left his eye. "Everything fell apart. I used to blame dad for being incompetent......." he continued.
