If it was up to him, he would have already called his friends in the government offices and divorced the both of them single handedly. Jared who had been silent all this time now felt an urge to talk.“If you don’t like her, why do you still hold on to her? Why don’t you just let her go and give her the divorce she is asking for? Just accept it man, you have already lost and I am the winner. I won, simple as that and however how much you are still bent on prolonging this, trust me that it won’t take you anywhere.”“I wasn’t talking to you. You are an outsider and this is between me and my wife. “Nolan said almost yelling. He wanted to punch the guy so hard on the face.Jared laughed evilly and said in a sarcastic way” The woman whom you took her money and looked down upon all this years is now mine. She chose me and left you, I am sure you know that I am making her feel like areal woman, something that you weren’t able to.”“Shut up. In fact I can’t understand why you decided to use h
On opening the door she saw him seated on the chair looking at her suspiciously. “What took you so long? I have been waiting here for some times.”She was so caught up in the pregnancy news she didn’t even notice when he came back in to the room. Nolan was a sneaky son of a bitch, was it possible that he had seen something? Celine became nervous but she just comforted herself that he won’t have the facts until he saw the test. So she will hide it well where he can’t find it.“I am sorry my stomach was aching so badly, so I took a little bit longer than expected.” She lied and when she saw him drop his intense look then she knew that she was safe for the time being, but what about in the next three months when it would start showing? Would he haunt her with this?Celine said this while looking down, she didn’t want him to read her face and discover that she was lying that she had just found out that she was pregnant.Like he had been reading her mind he suddenly asked “Are you pregnant
It has been really boring during these days he wasn’t around and it wouldn’t hurt for her to enjoy herself for a little while with him. Whatever he had planned for her she didn’t care as long as he would get to spend some time with her.Celine quickly freshened up and wore a black fitting dress with a slit at the side. It was her favourite dress and she couldn’t imagine that in the next few months it won’t fit at all. She left her hair hanging loose on her shoulders bringing out the perfect features of her oval shaped face. She also went for a red doll shoes just to compliment her look.When the driver came in about 30 minute’s time she was ready. He opened the passenger seat for her and drove in silence to the restaurant.“Ma’am the boss said that you should go inside he is waiting for you” the driver said and she heaved a sigh of relieve. Nolan didn’t take her out on dinners and she was highly expectant of the night ahead.“Thank you “she muttered and climbed down the car with her
“Hello Sweetheart. Are you okay?”“Yes, I just needed to hear your sweet voice. Do you mind?” Celine said after hesitating for a while. She couldn’t even figure out why she was that emotional. Tears wouldn’t stop flowing on her face no matter how much she tried to suppress them.“Geez Celine, why are you crying?” He asked after hearing her blowing her nose. Did Nolan bother you again? Tell me and I will deal with him right this moment” he finished saying and Celine heard him cursing over the phone.“No….No…. he didn’t, I am just sad a little bit, I don’t know what is happening to me” she complained and she was glad that he was patient enough to listen to her. “I just ate not long ago and I already feel hungry”“Is that all that is bothering you? Listen I told you that you can ask for absolutely anything and I will make it available. Do you need me to order for you food?” That was just a small piece of cake for Jared all he needed to do was make some calls and the food will be deliver
However her mother still stared at her with questions in her eyes, she didn’t believe her at all but she choose to stay quiet. To avoid the uncomfortable situation, Celine excused herself to go handle the discharge process.“Okay mommy let me go and prepare your discharge papers. I want to take you home.”“Alright honey”At the back of her mind Alma knew that her daughter was not alright and she was very worried by the fact that she refused to confide in her. She even thought that it was all because of her irresponsible husband who never loved her at all.The last thing she remembered before going in to a comma was that Nolan refused to give Celine money for her treatment and now the big question is where the money came from.While still deep in thought Celine came back with the doctor who gave them her medicines and advised them to come back for check up every week.A nurse was waiting with a wheelchair to help take her to the hospital exit. As Alma smelled the fresh air on the outsi
She was gulping for air and at the same time holding her stomach thinking of the life that was growing inside her. She tried to push him away but he couldn’t bulge at all, his strength was not a match for her.‘Please you are going to kill me” she whispered while gulping for air.Suddenly he let go of her neck and she was coughing like nobody’s business. What the hell came over him? Did he really want to kill her?“What did I ever do to you jerk?” Celine yelled with a sore voice.” Go ahead, kill me then and let us see if you will get your filthy hands on my money.“Shut up! The only reason why you are still alive is because I know your stupid father had several clauses in his will that prevents me from ever laying my hand on you. I know he stated that if ever anything happens to you I will be held responsible.”“What?” That part she didn’t know as the lawyer never told her. However she was now very glad for that particular clause, it just saved her life tonight.“I really hate you Cel
“Are you satisfied now that you have managed to kill my baby? You are so cruel Nolan, the child was innocent and you had no right to deny him life. I promise you will regret ever doing this to me.”“Do I look like I care?” he sneered and then continued “I don’t even want to look at you anymore I am leaving” Nolan said as he stormed out of the hospital room.It took Celine some time to get some sleep as her body was hurting from all the pain that she had gone through the day. But the only thing that bothered her is that Jared hadn’t called and she was beginning to wonder what happened with him.He was the only one who can make her feel better at that particular time and make her forget everything. She took her phone and scrolled through it but there was no message from him.She wiped a tear that was falling from her eyes and immediately fell in to a deep sleep. She didn’t know how long she had been sleeping but all of a sudden she felt something lying beside her and she thought that No
“Okay, but you don’t need to rub that on my face. They have another business and several companies are eyeing it. Since you are the one who dealt with them, I want you to go convince them for another business opportunity.”“Can’t you see that I am sick and weak? For God’s sake you only care about yourself” She snarled getting irritated that Nolan is an arrogant jerk who would stop at nothing to trample on her miseriesHe only sneered and said.“I know you are a strong woman capable of standing up from the bed and going to make business deals. If that wasn’t the case I wouldn’t have wasted my time coming here. So wipe off that look on your face and start thinking.”“I hate you”“I took the initiative to bring you a beautiful dress and a makeup kit .You should dress yourself well, the meeting will be in Harris’s hotel at 7.00 o’clock. Don’t be late.”He said and turned to leave as if he has just finished another business deal. Celine had no option but to psychologically prepare herself
“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
