Chapter: Chapter 127They had a lovely time with Celine's father,for the rest of the week.Her father, most times doted on his grandchildren all the time he was home,except when he was at work at his law firm.David gave himself a little break at the office and told the new secretary to handle matters over there.The secretary was doing a great job as he was trained by Arabella,so David was not regretting letting Arabella go anymore.The new secretary was capable of handling matters so swiftly and even more.David had also informed his mother that they would be arriving at the weekend,and Celine had also talked to her,letting her know, she and her grandchildren were fine.At the last day of the week,Celine's leg was better,so they decided to go out to the park and have a good time with the children. The maid also went with them.They strolled around for a bit then sat down under a tree.Whil

Chapter: Chapter 126"What!" David exclaimed.“How ? When did it happen?”“Am sorry, I didn't know she was going to enter the garden and sit there,you see the garden has been unkempt for sometime and the new gardener comes in after a month," Celine's father said.“Anyway we are in the hospital.”David hung up the phone and his heartbeat accelerated. He couldn't believe Celine was in danger,and was fighting for her life in the hospital.He barely grasped the name of the hospital from his father in-law,all he wanted to do at that moment was to be at his wife's side.He stood up shaking and took his car keys and phone on his desk.As he stepped out, the new secretary that took over from Arabella was at the office besides his own,he quickly asked David what was wrong,seeing David's worried expression.David told him to take care of the office and not to worry.As he drove,he was so lucky tha

Chapter: Chapter 125David was not himself for some time now,after Celine had left the house with the kids,the house was not the same for him anymore.The night before seemed endless,he tossed and turned until he was sure he had worn a hole in the mattress.Sleep refused to relieve him,he wrestled with his thoughts,his feelings for Celine,his love for his children…..But now,he had to make a decision and that was what he was about to do as he sat in his office.He had already sent for Arabella through the intercom,and was waiting for her to come in.“You sent for me David?” Arabella said as she came inside David's office.“Yes I did,”David said,”please sit down Arabella.”As Arabella sat down,David used just a minute to finish up what he was doing on his laptop.“Arabella,”he said as he raised up his head.“I know what I'm about to say might upset you,but you have to look at the brigh

Chapter: Chapter 124Celine stood by the pool at her father's house.She watched the water in the pool as it was calm.She wished her life was as calm as the water.She remembered when she came to the house the day before and hugged her father,she couldn't prevent the tears from falling as her father consoled her.She watched later as he doted on his grandchildren before they all went inside the house.Her father had already told his housekeeper to prepare a room for Celine and the children.He made sure they cooked her favourite dish and allowed her to relax well and enjoy the food without asking her any questions.She was surprised because this was the third day and he hasn't said anything to her.“My princess,”Celine turned quickly to the sound of her Dad's voice,he was coming towards her as she stood by the side of the pool.“Father, you shouldn't have come down here to look for

Chapter: Chapter 123"No mother,I will tell him on the way to my Dad's place.”“Ok,I have no business meddling,my dear it's between you and your husband but please try to sort it out on time,so that the children will not be affected.”“Ok mother I will do that,thank you so much,”Celine said.“Ok my dear,”the baroness said.She followed Celine inside the nursery to say goodbye to her grandkids.She bent and kissed each one of them on their cheeks.“My sweethearts,”she said,smiling at each of them,”I will miss you so much,come back soon ok.”“Don't worry mother,we will be back soon ok.”“Ok my dear,” the baroness said to Celine,"I will take you on your word.”Celine went over to the room and picked her suitcase and the one she packed for the kids.She then went back to meet the maid who was already ready with her own suitcase.They went downstairs and th

Chapter: Chapter 122Looking at Celine,for a while,David saw that she was serious.He knows that the way he feels and relates with Arabella,others don't do the same as they don't understand their relationship.“But why would you say that Celine,I have never given you any reason to doubt me in handling this matter.”“You know I am not having an affair with Arabella,and I told you I will handle the matter.”“I will also make sure Arabella doesn't come to this house anymore.”“That is what you would always say,but after a while you will see her here again.”Celine said.“I don't know why we are still arguing about this woman? Especially after what she did.”“This woman would not stop till she has you in her life David and I can see that you are trying to make things so easy for her,”Celine said.“I am not making things easy for her Celine,I am just trying to handle this situation in a
