Chapter 203
203 Perry sent her a message .
Celine , the Tate family has fallen for a scam .
I did some digging .
This fake Dr.
C is part of a fraud syndicate .
It turns out that most of the Tate family members are gamblers .
This time , they might lose everything .
Celine wanted to reply , but before she could , her phone vibrated .
She glanced at the screen , and her heart skipped a beat .
The caller was none other than Adam .
She couldnt believe Adam was calling her .
Why was he calling her ? Wasnt he supposed to be with Carly ? Celine had no idea why he suddenly decided to call , so she didnt answer .
The phone buzzed again and again .
He kept calling until finally , the calls stopped Celine lay in bed .
It was late now , yet sleep eluded her .
A soft locking broke the silence as she turned onto her side .
Someone was at the door .
Who could The knocks came again , firm and deliberate .
The rhythm echoed with an unyielding strength .
Celine slipped out of bed and cautiously opened the door .
Standing in the dimly lit hallway was a tall , imposing figure .
It was Adam .
The hospital corridor was eerily quiet at this hour , and the faint light from overhead fixtures cast long shadows on his chiseled features .
His broad shoulders carried the chill of the night .
He stood there , bathed in half light , his deep black eyes fixed intently on her .
Celines heart thudded heavily in her chest by his sudden appearance in the middle of the night .
Why was he herei Adams gaze bore into hers as he spoke , Why didnt you answer my calls ? His low , husky voice tinged with a gravelly warmth .
I didnt hear them .
Celine stood by the door .
He didnt believe her .
A smirk tugged at the corner of his thin lips .
You spent the whole day with Nathan but couldnt spare a moment to take my call ? Celines fingers curled Mr.
Alvarez , its late .
You should go .
If theres anything important , we can talk tomorrow .
She moved to close the door , but it wouldnt budge .
His lovee had slid between the frame and the door , holding it firmly open .
Celine had no choice but to look up , her clear eyes meeting his unwavering gaze .
Alvarez , what exactly do you want ? Do you plan to keep standing there and talking to me through the doorway ? Either I come in , or you come out .
His domineering tone left no room for negotiation .
Not wanting to disturb Nathan , Celine reluctantly stepped out into the hallway .
Adam didnt waste a moment .
He took her hand and pulled her along Her hand was small and soft against his firm grip , Celine was unsure where he was bringing her , but his touch was warm , almost unnaturally so .
The seductive scent was probably still in effect .
Celine didnt know what had gotten to him or how he and Carly were doing She didnt want to know either .
Celine struggled to free herself .
Alvarez , let go of me ! Adam didnt .
He led her to an empty stairwell , then turned abruptly .
With a swift motion , he pressed her against the cold wall , trapping her between the unyielding surface and his solid frame .
Celine tried to push him away .
Alvarez , what are you doing Adams handsome face blocked her vision as he started kissing her .
Celines mind went blank .
The kiss was forceful .
His hand braced against the wall beside her head , caging her in as his lips claimed hers .
Realizing what was happening , Celine fought back .
Let me go ! She turned her head to escape his kiss .
Adams heavy breathing filled the small space as he stared at her .
You asked what I wanted .
Is the answer good enough for you ?
