Chapter 19 Surprise

• It was almost midnight and Celeste was resting her head on Liam's bare chest while listening to his steady heartbeat peacefully. They hadn’t slept yet after the passionate love making. They had been making love the whole afternoon and then just had dinner and spent some time with their family and returned to their room again to engage in their pending work. Liam had his one arms around Celeste while his other hand was busy caressing her hair. Celeste had her eyes closed as she silently laid on his arms. All of sudden Liam stopped caressing her hair and leaned backwards. Celeste opened her eyes and took a glimpse at what he was doing. She found him taking out something from his drawers and went back to her previous position. She wanted to sleep as she was already very exhausted. She even lost track of time.
• Celeste was slowly drifting away to sleep when all of sudden she felt something cold touching her neck and at the same time her phone beeped for a while. She opened her eyes and was about to turn look at her neck when suddenly Liam placed a soft kiss on her forehead before softly whispering,
• "Happy Birthday, Celeste!" Celeste closed her eyes for a moment and then looked at Liam with a surprise expression on her face. She then touched her neck and found a pendant adoring her neck. She looked down at the pendant and found a beautiful pendant carved with rubies. It was indeed really beautiful and complimented her golden skin.
