Celsie was tired of being labeled as an introvert, workaholic, and dull virgin by her friends. Determined to prove them wrong, she made a bet that she would do something daring on her 25th birthday, coinciding with her recent promotion. Now that the day had arrived, it was time to fulfill her promise.
As a newcomer to the city of Serenopolis, Celsie felt a surge of nervousness as she stepped into a lively bar. However, to her surprise, the bartender was incredibly friendly, making her realize that maybe bars weren’t as bad as she had imagined. With her daring checklist in hand, there was one task left to complete: having a one-night stand with someone.
But Celsie wasn’t one to act recklessly. As she searched for a suitable candidate, she came across a charming and intriguing young man named Benne. Unbeknownst to her, Benne had recently been used by several women and longed to find someone who loved him for his personality rather than his wealth.
Would love ignite between Celsie and Benne? Let’s discover their story below.
“Already? You are supposed to be resting,” Celsie said, looking up at him apologetically. “I’m not complaining. Now let’s get you that drink,” Benne said, jerking his head towards the door for her to walk ahead of him. Celsie found it amusing that it was her apartment, yet he was ordering her around as though…
Celsie had a distant look in her eyes as she continued her story. She sat with her legs drawn up on the couch in a way that the soles of her feet were balanced on the couch while both knees were drawn up to almost her chin level as she wrapped both arms around her…
“Yeah. I don’t want you reliving those awful memories. Go inside your head, get the information needed, and come back. Don’t get lost in there,” Benne explained, “It is working, isn’t it?” He asked hopefully, and Celsie gave him a nod. “Yeah, it is.” “So tell me what led to his death,” Benne urged her…
“No, you should call him yourself. It is difficult enough to reach you as it is. I will text you his number the moment I hang up, so give him a call immediately, and save him the stress of trying unsuccessfully to reach you,” Benne said, making Jade sigh. “Alright. I will be waiting. Love…
“Well, better late than never, right?” She asked as she kicked off her shoes. “Sure. Good morning Jade Delgado, Esquire,” Harry greeted with a smile in his voice, making Jade giggle at his humor as she placed her phone on the bed and put it on speaker so that she could take off her clothes.…
“I’m on my way to the office… You can meet me there,” Benne said, and then added, “But first, could you arrange for someone to pick Celsie from the company’s hospital? The car is there, I just need someone to take her home,” Benne asked, making Harry frown. “Hospital? Why is she there? And why…
“You could tell her that you’re on leave,” Benne said matter of factly, “Besides, since you’re helping her find her witness, you should be near her,” Benne pointed out with a shrug as though he had everything figured out. “You are not even scared that I might hit on your sister? I am a full…
“It is nothing,” Celsie said with a stiff smile as she looked away from the doctor, not wanting to maintain eye contact with him. “You are still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and you need to see a psychotherapist. I could arrange for you to meet a very good psychotherapist,” he offered. Celsie shook her…
Celsie pursed her lips thoughtfully. Although this wasn’t how she had planned to break the news to them, she just wanted to get it out of the way. Benne was her temporary boyfriend after all, and she was sure he wouldn’t mind stepping in to help her get her family off her back.?? “Yes. Who…
Once she took off her clothes, she walked over to the bathroom and stood by the door as she remembered how Benne had walked in there only a few hours ago to carry her out. Why did it suddenly seem like it had been such a long time since she last saw him? She couldn’t…
