“Hey, don’t worry I know that it is painful but it will go away very soon, they say time heals all wounds and I am very sure that the sparkle in your eyes will return only if you manage to get that guy out of your system.”“You are right”They stayed up the rest of the night chatting, Celine didn’t want to be alone and Lina did a good job at keeping her company .she couldn’t even imagine what would have happened to her if she would have gone to the mansion.She could have been lonely and sad with no one to talk to, her father was the only one who at least could have listened to her but how could she start to tell him that the man who they are so thrilled about marrying their daughter was none other than her very own husband.It still scares the hell out of her to think about what could be her father’s reaction, she couldn’t stand another rejection from him. If it comes from April and her mother it will make no difference because they already despise and hate her.When dawn came, Celi
But Celine knew that her friend didn’t have the same patience that she had so she tried to neutralize the situation by saying.“April, she is my friend please don’t treat her badly like that. All I want is for us to respect each other, okay? ““Gosh…why are you spoiling my moods this early morning. Please I don’t care whether she is your friend or your enemy, All I want is to be left alone. By the way Celine, where did you go to last night after you walked out on my fiancée?”She is asking as if Jared cares about her, Celine laughed internally then looked at the woman standing in front of her with both of her hands on her hips.“I was just out on the garden trying to catch some air. Is that also a crime?”“You tell me because my Jared also went to the same place. Celine I know that you are shameless and won’t hesitate to hit on my man, but let me warn you that he chose me and there is nothing that you can do. Any way why am I even getting worked up like this, Jared will never set his
“Well you now have me as your family and don’t ever hesitate to call me when you have a problem, seek me out at any time of the day. Since you were good to by daughter and you continues to be, I will be good to you,”“Thank you so much I appreciate.”All this time? Celine just kept quiet observing how the two were conversing and she couldn’t help tears of happiness flowing down on her cheeks.She was sure now that she made the right decision to accept Patrick as her after, she could see the love in his eyes. The man adored her and he even treats her friend well, what more could she have asked for than to have a father like him.It was such a shame that he found himself a selfish wife and daughter who only cares about themselves and what they want in life. But as long as he will be in her life she will show him what love is.After talking to Lina for a while he turned all his attention to Celine and took her in to his warm embrace. He caressed her hair and whispered into her ears” I am
April looked at him and then again at her mother who was standing on her side with her mouth wide open. It was odd that the usually calm Patrick was shouting at them and for sure this time round things have changed.Jemma held her shoulder and told her softly “let’s go honey, your father is very angry with us and I think we should give him time to calm down first.”Like they always do, Patrick soon saw the materials of their clothes as they disappeared upstairs in to their rooms. He didn’t mean to shout at her but it is just that of late he had been under a lot of pressure and he didn’t know how to control his temper any more.The worst thing that annoyed him that morning was that her only daughter was asking her to choose between the two of them and when he remembered how he had to convince Celine to come with him, he couldn’t bear to hurt her. It was just not possible, he was never going to disappoint her the same way he did to her late mother.Moreover he wouldn’t be fair to her be
“Who talked about divorce here, Celine, I will only let go of you if I so wished. So don’t make this any more difficult than it is already, tell me this instance where you are or else I will search for you all over the place. I am very sure that I will get you and you will have to pay for the consequences.“Go ahead, search for me and let us see if you are brilliant enough to find my hideout. Please, I don’t feel like talking to you anymore, okay” she said and hung up the phone.“She hung up the phone on me?” Jared was furiously pacing in his apartment, this was a situation that was proving to be more difficult than he had earlier thought, now what should he do to make Celine forgive him?He suddenly felt overwhelmed with the thoughts and so in order to feel better there was only one alternative. His friends were the only guys who were capable of taking the pain he was feeling but the problem was that he got angry and sent them away last time they messed up with him. How the hell was
“I don’t know even why I came back to you guys, please help me with this one favour and I promise that I will never mention her to you if you don’t want to hear about her. All I want is for you to help me find her location and then I can take it from there.”“Ivan, I know you are the lawyer here and I know that you have got so many detectives under your control. I want you to recommend one for me so that I can locate her. Can you imagine she sneaked out of my new apartment at the middle of the night and I have been keeping my men outside her house to keep a watch for her and she didn’t turn up?”“Don’t worry buddy I will help you get her location and that is as far as I can go, whatever else you want to do with her I am not interested.” Ivan said.“Thank you that was all I wanted to hear from my friends.”“By the way how is April? Ivan asked“That is another problem I don’t want to talk about. Can you guess how Celine found out about her and me? I don’t think any of you will believe m
In a way they were right because immediately he took one bottle, he started feeling relaxed. However he refrained himself from taking another bottle because when he remembered the difficult times he had to go through in the past, he wouldn’t dare. It was so heartbreaking for him to remember.Soon they settled down and started playing what brought them all the way to Dean’s house but the game wasn’t going as planned. It was the most boring moments they have ever had together because Jared couldn’t concentrate on the game. He kept on losing until he gave up.The next moment he took his phone to call Celine but she didn’t pick up, it has become a trend for her to just ignore him like that and it was killing him deep inside. To make matters worse he didn’t even know where she was. He didn’t know whether she was okay or she was still crying over what happened. Jared hated to see her swollen face which was all because of his stupidity. His only problem was to listen to his grandparents wis
“Listen to me Celine, you are a very strong woman and I know that whatever the outcome of this situation, you will find a way to deal with it. But what I can tell you is that man loves you in all aspect. When I saw how he was handling you back here in Nairobi, I was sure that he was the one for you and I am never wrong. You have to be patient and let things flow as fate wants them. I can’t say that I am happy about this news but what I think is that Jared is much better than Nolan.”“Mommy I can’t believe you are taking his side, when I told my father this issue he said the same thing that he had his own reasons for doing what he did. But why am I the only one who doesn’t seem to understand him. What would I do with all this hurt I feel in my heart, tell me?”“I am not taking his side at all, but sometimes things happen in the way that we least expected , if I were there I would have been the first one to scold him. I would have given him I very hard slap on the face for having dared
“Watch your words, idiot. I love weddings and not all the marriages go wrong. I believe in Lina and me. Alright …. shut up already “Ivan scolded.Jared grinned at the two with a triumphant face.“I am just kidding. Anyway, I am happy for the both of you. Make this lovely woman happy. “Jared said and then left to say hello to Alexis and Jason. He hasn’t found time to visit them and so he was glad to catch up with them.Back at the other corner, the boys were chatting when they saw two beautiful women entering inside the hall. They knew that they were Lina’s recently found cousins. She introduced them when they went on one of their evenings out on which the boys and the girls were present.Nolan grabbed Rita’s hands and pulled her aside. He hasn’t stopped to fantasize about her. Ever since he saw her, she was all that he could think about day and night . He knew that if he didn’t do something ASAP, he was going to lose his second chance at finding love. He wanted to settle down and have
“Of course, this is a fucking yes. Let us make another baby. May be, she will be a girl so that your grandmother can tell me her name.” Celine said with affectionShe had grown to love Old Madam Walker so much and she wanted to please her. She was the only grandmother that she has.“Or maybe he will be another boy and my grandmother won’t hesitate to kick your ass” Jared joked as Celine wrapped her hands around his neck. ” Anyway, you could have simply asked me to tell you her name. You are just being silly, sweetie.” Jared whispered in her ears while nibbling on them. She so fucking liked the excitement that she was getting from the simple gesture.“Okay, wherever …a child is a child and as long as he/she will be yours, it doesn’t matter the gender. Anyway, I wanted grandma to tell me her name herself. Can we get to the business because I am ovulating and this is the best time to conceive?“Huh……” he hummed and then started kissing her furiously. Before they knew it, they were lyin
After the incidence, Celine didn’t go out much. She would spend her time at home taking care of Isaac. It was a good thing that Alma was still around and she was helping with the management of the N.C Corporation in Mombasa. Ever since Alma came to Mombasa, Celine’s uncle, Lucas Nelson found his way to manage the Nairobi branch. Finally, he got his hands on his late brother’s company the moment Alma left.Alma said that she was too old to fight with him so she gave up to raise her grandchildren. Nothing was more important than Isaac and Celine. She would give up just anything for their sake and she would sacrifice her career for them.In the evening, Jared came back from work. He was looking at her funnily and she didn’t know what he had in his crazy mind.“Sweetheart, spill it. I almost died the other day you know “up to now, she was still traumatized at the thought of April and her mother getting to them. She had thought that the two had learned their lesson but apparently, they de
But the police were on their trail shooting from all directions. They tried but they couldn’t match up to the number of the police that was sent to pursue them.Buy accident the tires busted after being hit by the bullet and before they knew it, they were thrown in to the man-made lake on the side of the tarmac road. The police surrounded the lake from all sides to prevent them from escaping and by the time that the car had been pulled out, the both of them were already dead.Joel was hit on the chest and was unconscious when he was found and taken to the hospital When he woke up, Patrick was by his side and he couldn’t believe the state that he was in. He was no longer the babbly and healthy Joel that he used to know. He was thin and pale. He looked like he had aged a bit and Patrick couldn’t bear to look at him.“Oh…. Joel. what have you done to yourself? I told you that it wouldn’t end up well for you. Those two were snakes. I lived with them and I knew them very well. why didn’t
“Daddy, life is too short to keep on having unnecessary beef. Look at what happened to Jared, he has forgiven Nolan and his mother. It was like they were never the people that he hated with his life. He is now at peace with himself. I wish you could see him today. He is not the Jared we used to know. Always angry and sad. Please just hear him out, he might be having something important to tell you.” Celine begged.She always had a way of reaching out to him. Patrick felt sad suddenly. Celine was right in a way. All this time, it has been eating him up like hell. He wouldn’t be at peace knowing that his only brother was suffering while he enjoyed life and had such a wonderful family.Perhaps it was time to hear him out once and for all.As if on a cue, Joel called again and this time, he picked it up.“Joel, what do you want?” he asked emotionlessly.“Listen, I don’t have much time to talk or explain things but your life and Celine’s s life is in danger. Your car is being followed an
After a few days, Celine went to visit her dad. It has been long since she saw him. Patrick Rowan was happy nowadays. Together with Iris, they were trying to build the pieces of their life back together and she couldn’t help but admire their spirit.It was admirable. Finally, life had granted the two of them another chance to experience good days. Gone are the days that her father would be insulted like a little kid. Gone are the days that she would look at his loneliness and wished that she could take his place.“Daddy…” She called as soon as she saw him.“Baby” Patrick hasn’t forgotten how he used to call her and he had maintained it to the end. Iris only smiled loving the way the two loved each other. She knew that she could never match up to them but as long as Celine was happy, then she had nothing to worry about.“Mum, how are you?” She asked as she kissed her cheeks.“I am great dear. I am happy to hear the good news that Jared reconciled with his family. Now you are going to
“Why not my sweet little daughter in law. I love you and remember that we are only focusing on the future. No more dramas or immature behavior from me, I want to be a good mother and a grandmother, okay. You made my son happy and that is why I will have you as my daughter in law. Thank you.”“No…. Thank you for giving me such a good man as my husband. “Celine smiled as she looked at Jared and his father.“Oscar, congratulations on your wedding. I never came to the ceremony.” Celine cracked a joke and the family laughed about it.“No, it was a quick one and I am glad that I made that decision. You should have seen how my wife was aggressive with me but who is smiling now? I want her to know that despite what has happened between us, I am glad that she gave me a beautiful family. I never even dreamt that I will one day become a grandfather. Thank you, darling, I love you from the bottom of my heart.“I love you right back “Danna smiled“No need to talk anymore. I want to celebrate with
Enzo gladly went and together they hugged their mother consuming her in to an embrace that stole her soul all over again.“Enzo, baby. I love you so much. You two are my life right now. ” Danna muttered as she kissed Enzo on the cheeks. The man chuckled as he replied “ I love you too Mommy and I love that we can now be a normal family with Jared . Oh…I waited for this day for so long, damn it . I wanted to tell my brother that I didn’t mean to cause him trouble in the past. All that I wanted was for him to notice me and consider me as his brother but he was so full of hate that I didn’t know how to reach out to him. ““I am so sorry for my behavior in the past. I am the one who should be asking for forgiveness. I was jealous for the love that our mother gave you. You have to understand that I watched you have everything that I didn’t. so, I found myself hating you even when I knew that you were innocent but it won’t happen again because I will never break up my family. I couldn’t
“Come here, sweetie.” Old Mr. Gavin called. Did she hear it right? was this arrogant man calling her sweetie? When did he start to grow fond of her? wonders shall never end. Danna was now being pampered by the very people who loathed her in the past.“Mmh….are you calling Oscar? “She asked dumbfound.“No….it is you, Danna. Why should I call that bastard that denied me a chance to be with my grandkids like an idiot? Does he even deserve for me to pamper him?” the man snarled. “Dad, you are being unfair and you know it. I also suffered, why must you complain and blame me for everything bad in our lives? “Oscar complained.“I love you son , but sometimes you let me down. I am just going to bear with you because Jared has finally come to me. I can feel it that he has decided to come home, something that should have happened earlier if not for your incompetence. Listen, I know that you haven’t been a good mother to him but the most important thing is that you are trying to make it up t
