It was his little hideout and nobody was supposed to know that he has that place. The only person fortunate enough to see it was Celine and he would gladly have her near for as long as she was willing to.He stood at the huge window overlooking the Indian Ocean to try and improve his mood. He has always liked the view, it kind of gave him some peace of mind that he couldn’t have in normal circumstances.Lately he has been drinking much to his liking. This habit he has started developing wasn’t good at all, his grandmother and his friends warned him but he didn’t want to listen to them. Today more than ever he just needed one bottle and he will be fine.He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge to take a drink but unfortunately there was none. He thought that last time he went to the supermarket he bought some but evidently he forgot. Jared clicked and went back to his original spot to stare at completely nothing.“What a shame” he whispered.However it’s alright, he will just stay
Jared sighed with a relief and was glad that the telephone conversion was now over. He looked at his watch and gave himself a few minutes to be at the Rowan mansion, he couldn’t wait to see his woman’s beautiful face. Well he couldn’t wait to see Celine’s face, the face that has been haunting him this entire time that he thought that she was lost.The moment Jared parked his car at the Rowan mansion, April was there standing on the entrance. She was wearing a beautiful smile on her face. She jumped with joy and rushed to give him a hug and a kiss on the cheeks.What the hell is this woman doing? I am trying to be good here so that Celine would forgive me but she just can’t hold herself together. This is the results of being stupid to follow my grandparent’s wishes.The thought of Celine watching them from somewhere in the house made him furious inside but he had to fake a sweet smile on his face so that April wouldn’t end up suspecting him.So they walked hand in hand in to the house,
She was the most shameless woman on earth, she is an embarrassment to the women community.“Jared, what do you think you doing?” she finally asked as she tried to push him away from the warm embrace.She was enjoying it, he felt it when he looked in to those sparkling brown eyes, oh….. the eyes that he had missed so much. He just gets startled by looking at them.“I found you, I will always find you Celine” he said and pinched her cheeks and Celine couldn’t help but blush all over. She had always liked the feeling his fingers brought on her skin. They tickled her to the extent of wanting to feel them more.“Do you know that we can both be in a deep trouble right now? For God’s sake Jared, I ask myself what you are doing here right now. Should you be together with your woman? I told you last time that we are done and I meant it, so if you don’t mind leave me alone” she said with hate in her eyes.Just a moment ago she was blushing, why did she just change gears that fast? It must be th
When April saw that he was hesitating, he held his hands and muttered” Please darling, do it for me, I swear I made the food with all my love, are you going to just embarrass me like that? Come on I know that Old Madam Walker will not be happy if she hears this”So the damn woman was threatening him, he should have known. But now he was pissed off and he was going to go no matter what. No one dares to threaten him especially when she was the woman he didn’t care about.For the sake of her parents he said” I am sorry April but I am going to disappoint you this time” he looked at his watch and then turned his attention back to them” unless you want me to lose a lot of money. Is the food so much important than the money I am going to make for both of us?” He asked and smirked sheepishly.“Off course Jared, we understand” Patrick said. April just let him go, there will be many times that we will have to dine together. Jared, thanks again for passing by and all the best in your business d
“You can’t be serious Jared, so you have been pretending all along that you love me. Who is the woman? I know that there is someone else and I can smell it. However you are wrong this time round, no one uses April Rowan and throws her aside like garbage.”“Is she seriously talking to me? if I get my hands on her slender neck I swear she will be dead before uttering another word to insult me. I am Jared Walker, the most feared man in Mombasa, this girl has the nerve.”The veins on his fore head bulged and his eyes became blood shot, he was angry and God prevented him from killing the little woman by his side.“Get out” he yelled.“Are you chasing me out of this car? We are not done here Jared. But what did I do to you to embarrass me like this. I swear Old Madam Walker must hear about this.”“Get lost and I never want to see your face again. Don’t call me or seek me out. From now on, I am not your fiancée or your darling. I have completely nothing to do with you.” he lost his control a
“I am sorry but that ended the day you decided to cheat on me with that lady.” So tell me because you haven’t explained to me well, what am I doing in this car with a man who is soon to be my ex-husband?” She said defiantly looking straight in to his eyes. He was not going to intimidate her, she promised to be strong and if in any case she decided to succumb to his whims, she is going to be the losing one.Jared didn’t answer her but instead he stepped on the pedals and the car jerked forward with a high speed startling Celine. She almost screamed and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. What was the bustard trying to do? Was he trying to kill the both of them? In that case he has succeeded in scaring the hell out of her.She held her heart and screamed” what is the matter with you and where are you taking me? We were only supposed to talk and nothing more. Please stop the car, I want to get out.”But he just kept quiet and he didn’t even spare her a glance. It is like she was co
It was so amazing how she can hate and love the same man like that.Jared cupped her face and looked in to her eyes seductively, now he was not the angry and unbearable guy but a gentle lovable man, the man who she had fallen in love with. The only man who was there for her when everybody disappointed her. This Jared is the sweetest man on earth who decided to marry her despite her status as a divorcee.Then she thought of an idea when she realized that Jared was about to kiss her.“Jared, I really don’t want to continue like this, I mean I am still hurting and you starting to seduce me make things even hard for me. I want to forget you the same way I forgot about Nolan. I don’t know why but I feel that you two are birds of the same feather.”That simple statement did the trick and Jared looked at her with daggers in his eyes. If it was possible for him, he would have grabbed her neck and strangled the life out of her. Why did she have to compare him to that jerk? Yes he made a mistak
Deep inside Jared knew that he was messing up and Celine may never forgive him but he just had to try. She was his woman and he was her man. However how much she didn’t want to acknowledge the facts, he knew that she still loved him deeply the same way he does.This has become her worst nightmare and to think that she just forgot her phone in the living room. She had no idea how she was going to ask for help because she knew that Jared was just getting started with her.She kicked the door but it gave no way, she shouted his name but he didn’t answer, it was as if she was talking to herself. There was no one else in the room but her. There was no Jared talking to her or scolding her. Being locked is the worst experience ever and she would have preferred for him to scold her a thousand times instead of this.She punched the door with her knuckles until they began to bleed. The pain in her hands wasn’t close to what she was feeling in her heart and she thought that if this is how love f
“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
