Celine was startled, where the hell was he taking her. He was also acting anxious and therefore things were not looking good at all. This was a feeling she didn’t like at all.“I will tell you on our way” he said while avoiding her eyes, she was sure now that wherever they were going she was not welcomed given the events that has just happened. Any way she had promised herself that no one will make her weak, she will face them all.“Well, it is okay if you don’t want to tell me” she said and then asked” what should I wear?” Celine was so different, she was acting confident. As Jared noticed that change in her, he couldn’t help but sigh a relief. During the whole journey he had been debating on the correct way to handle Celine but she just transformed in to a different person.“Anything that you think will be good for you as long as it is decent enough” anyway he didn’t need to stress himself over what she will wear. Celine would always dress well no matter where she was going. He was
Celine was startled, when she decided to follow Jared, she didn’t know that the situation will turn for the worst. The humiliation was just too much that she wished for the earth to open up so that it can consume her sorry state once and for all.“No way grandma, you will have to forgive me this time round but Celine is the woman that I love .She is the woman that my heart beats for. I will die without her presence, please try to understand this. ”Celine could see that his words were coming from deep inside, he genuinely meant each and every word that he said.“What? Are you out your mind son? This woman is not fit for you, just think about how people will view us. Please, I also beg of you, try to do what is right for the family only this once” Old madam walker pleaded.Suddenly the door opened and two people entered inside, they were none other than Danna and Enzo. Celine handn't met them but immediately she knew that they were related.Enzo was a splitting image of Jared, you coul
“Yes grand pa, I am well and capable. I can do better things with the company that Jared wasn’t able to do. So all I ask is for you to give me a chance and I swear I won’t fail you” Enzo added to every one’s surprise.Immediately Old Madam Walker smiled, there was some hope. She knew that Jared would never let go of the company. The company was his life, he had molded it to what it is today. If she threatened that she was going to strip him of his title and give it to Enzo, the useless grandson then she knew that he will listen and divorce Celine. Then she will make sure that the woman disappears without a trace.“What did you just say? Old Mr Walker was amused” he cupped his mouth as he laughed his heart out. He couldn’t understand what the hell this grandson of his was talking about. Enzo was never committed in anything that he did, leave alone running such a multinational company. He was only interested in enjoying himself and spending money with women.Enzo felt humiliated and sai
“I am leaving too, Celine come let us go home” Jared spoke to her softly and held her hands as he led her out of the house. Celine heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she smelled fresh air, she was seriously suffocating from the constant insults.“Jared, I don’t feel well” she said as she fainted in his arms. When he looked at her face, Celine had become thin. It seemed that Celine was not eating well. He shifty carried her in to the car and drove to the house as quickly as he could.He called a doctor who checked on her. Celine was just fine except that she wasn’t eating well and was under a lot of stress. He advised that she should try to prevent stressful condition and if the signs persist she should seek medical therapy.It hasn’t come to that, Celine was the strongest woman ever. She has gone through enough that most women wouldn’t have been able to bear. He would not allow this matter to let her down. He promised silently that he will stand by her side no matter what. They were i
“Jared, we talked about this, I just knew you wouldn’t keep your word. You are such a needy bastard….yeah.” Celine complained and Jared chuckled.“This is not a kiss, it was just a little taste of your lips” he said cheekily and then continued” I hope this reminds you of what you are missing right now. Celine, if you allow me…….I will show you how much I have missed you.”Celine felt little shivers in her body when he said those words, just thinking of what could happen between them made her body start to feel excited. The man just didn’t know how much she yearned for his body. But not right now there will be time for that, Celine take things slow…..you need to keep your heart, body and mind safe. As if she had ever been safe? She argued silently.Then he retrieved his body back and Celine felt kind of sad” but no pressure sweetie, very soon you will be back in this magical arms” Celine laughed as she took her plate and filled it with food. This morning she just woke up with the bigg
“Baby, I completely understand, but this rich people are sometimes difficult and complicated. Let us hope that they will not bother you because they fear Jared. But tell me why do I feel that you are nervous.“It is because I am about to step in to my new work place” Celine said as Tessa parked the car at the designated slot written the CEO.“Oh……just be yourself and if you find anything challenging call me, I won’t hesitate to help you . Don’t allow anyone to bother you. It is better to work with less people than with people who want to make trouble and remember your personal life should not define who you are at work. I agree that it sometimes affect work but in this case you have to show a strong stand.”“Daddy I have heard you and thank you for your wonderful advice. I need to a hung up now, I will talk to you later. “And then she lifted her face to look at the place that was to become her second home. She loved N.C Corporation so much, it wasn’t easy for her to leave it behind N
Celine cleared her voice and stood up” thank you so much for the love that you have decided to show me. I am sure that you have heard what it was like in Nairobi, it wasn’t something that someone could wish for another. Today, I can stand here in front of you and tell you that I appreciate all of you from the bottom of my heart. You could have chosen to hurl insults at me but you didn’t, kudos to all of you. First and foremost, I want to say that we are going to make it as a company. No one is going to have to worry about late salaries or bad working conditions, I will take care of it personally.Celine hesitated and the crowd clapped.“I don’t want to say much but to wish all of you the best of luck” Celine finished saying and walked out of her chair. This meeting was better than anything she had been a part of. Today she felt more relaxed than ever and she was sure that if this was how she was going to relate with them, then she had finally found people whom she can depend on.Meli
Celine felt that her mood has greatly improved, she was now looking ahead for the day’s activities. This company will be her baby, she will love it with all her heart the same way she loves Jared. It has been only 2 days since she moved in to his house and her mind had already changed about him, sometimes she was really unbelievable, how can she love the guy that much? Was it even possible in this life time?Celine placed the phone down on the table then she stood up and took some files. She needed to study the business performance well before she could decide on what to change and what to add. A knock came in to the office and the two directors came inside. “Boss, we are sorry to bother you at this moment but we would like to seek your advice on this matter if you don’t mind.” Director Erick asked.“Alright explain to me what you would like to get help with” Celine said curiously, any way she wasn’t worried because if there were challenges it couldn’t be any more difficult than the
“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
