Chapter 77
As a little girl, Celine had to take over the chores of Larry’s late wife. Each day, she washed clothes, cooked meals, and bore the brunt of his bearings.
Larry would yank her hair, kick her, and whipher with a belt. Those days were almost unbearable.
As Celine grew older, her beauty because strikingly evident in the countryside. But with her beauty came an even greater nightmare.
Larry’s lecherous gaze turned predatory. He would force her onto his lap, pressing his alcohol laden, sweat–drenched face against hers.
Bathing at night, she’d lock the door with trembling hands. But when she glanced back, she would only find his leering eyes peering through the crack, a sick grin spread across
his face
Those memories haunted her childhood like a recurring nightmare.
One day, Larry brought two of his drinking buddies home. They teased him, saying, “Tarry, why don’t you find yourself a new wife?”
Larry chuckled darkly. “My new wife’s already at home, just need a little more time to grow up.”
His friends immediately caught on, grinning knowingly, “Damn, backy you. We’d kill for that kind of luck.”
Terrified, Celine fled the house. Her hands trembled as she dialed Lucy’s number from a village payphone.
When the call connected, tears streamed down her face like broken beads. She sobbed and said, “Mom.. Mom, please save me…
But the voice that answered was Carly’s, haughty and gleeful. “Who are you? This is my mom’s phone, not yours. My mom only has one daughter, and that’s me”
Celine troze
Moments later, Lucy’s soft, doting voice came through.
“Carly, my sweet little princess, it’s your birthday today! Come see the pearl crown I got for you. Your classmates are here and asking for you. Don’t forget to perform that dance for them later, okay?
Carly nodded with joy. “Thanks, Mom!”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
