Celine held her chest, trying not to breathe so heavily, her father might realize that she was nervous. In his eyes she wanted to be strong. Soon they reached the supposed mansion of her grandparents. Wealth was screaming everywhere. It was so amazing at how of late she was just surrounded with people with wealth. The only thing making her sad was that most probably just like the Walker’s this people won’t give her a chance to show them what a good person she was and that she only needed a family to belong to. She didn’t need their money or anything else. All she yearned for was honest love, it has been rejection after rejection and it was starting to wear her down.Patrick held her hands and rubbed them softly while he comforted her with his words” just don’t worry, I will be there for you” She had heard the statement before, it is the same script she has heard all over until she was getting tired of it. If it was not Jared telling her not to worry then it was her father or mother.
The man was stern, his face was a no-nonsense. His brief history stated that he worked in the army and even grew to the general position before he came back to take care of his family fortune. Old. Mr. Rowan was the most feared man back then but he has since retired and wanted to enjoy a peaceful life with his family.The problem was that he had two sons who wouldn’t let him be in peace and today he was fed up. Once the people in the room heard his voice, they all kept quiet and looked at him with fear. In the end, no one had the guts to stand up and leave.He was too intimidating, not even Jemma who was known for her sharp tongue and daring personality tried to talk.“Patrick, as far as I am concerned, you wanted to tell me something important before the other members interrupted us. Go on, I am listening” he then sat down on his favourite chair and looked at the new woman with interest. “Celine, the judgment time has come. Will he accept you or not” she thought as her heart beat sh
“Dad, I think you are not fair to April. Why would you talk to her like that? She is only concerned” Joel chimed in and April was relieved that at least there was someone who was ready to defend her honor instead of being quiet and silent like her coward father. Sometimes she even wonder if he was really her father.A true father never abandons his kid like he has done most recently. He felt that Joel was doing what Patrick should be doing for her. But what should she expect from that weak father of hers? Celine had already manipulated him and he was right under his spell.“Joel, I knew you were going to open your mouth to talk nonsense. What business do you have with the two women? Are they your grandchildren or children? Come on, don’t bother me with your nastiness. Look at you, you are getting old and you haven’t even married. It is such a shame to have you as a son.”Joel stood up and faced his father, sometimes he felt that his father only loved Patrick and not him but what has h
Joel remembered the land almost immediately, it was a property he wanted so badly and the agent who was responsible for procuring it was easy to manipulate so he just gave him some money and the agent sold him the land. It meant that Joel had the original title deed and he had no intention of ever giving the land back to the rightful owners.“Do you mean you are asking me about it because of your illegitimate child? Why are you stupid sometimes, Patrick? That land belongs to me. I don’t care what project that they have erected on the property. In fact go and tell her to start vacating it immediately, I have given her one week. After that, I will not talk to anybody, we will go directly to court.”He should have known that his brother was still the same bastard without any scruples. Patrick was sure that he acquired the land illegally, why would he mention the court when he knew that he will be the one to lose if someone just proved that he stole the land.Patrick felt the hair at the
Patrick was surprised, lately his father didn’t smile much and to see him happy and relaxed warmed his heart. He knew that Celine was a blessing in disguise, everywhere she would go, people would be happy. He even wondered why April hated her that much.“Grand pa, it was a pleasure meeting you and I want you to know that I am the happiest woman ever. So many bad things have been happening to me and I didn’t feel that there could be someone who could love me and you just showed me that I can belong somewhere. Thank you.”She hugged him tightly and then she turned to leave the house. It felt like being home when she was with him but she knew that she will come for a visit later. What was still disturbing her mind was the land project and if his father was unable to solve it, it was time to seek Jared’s help.The moment they drove out of the compound, there was another car standing by the side of the road. The driver opened the door and climbed out only for Celine to realize that he was
“Jared, I don’t like violence, I didn’t ask for your help first because I knew that you were hot tempered and would get worked up like you are doing right now, but please they are my family and I wouldn’t like to have caused them any harm. It would be good if you could try to solve this amicably.”With an impatient voice he muttered “Leave this matter to me, you will never understand, that guy never knows the meaning of peace, all he understands is violence and so why would I even waste my time talking to a bastard like him. I wouldn’t even have patience before punching his silly face.” Jared said with hate.“Please…..no violence” she repeated.It was then that Jared’s expression changed. He shouldn’t have talked to her like that. Celine was fragile and sensitive, that was the most important trait that attracted him to her. He was evil, he already knew that but with Celine’s pure heart, he felt that he would be redeemed somehow.” Alight, I will think about it “he said with a deep vo
“I worship your body, it all belongs to me.” He replied as he hungrily traced kisses along her collar bone and down her side.“Okay then get ready to have the best sex of your life” with that he began exploring her curves, tracing his hands as they roamed back and forth. Céline couldn’t get enough and as his groin throbbed inside his pants, she just wanted to get it free so that she could touch it and feel it’s hardness.She couldn’t stand the long wait, she just yearned for him to bury himself deep in inside her throbbing body, and she wanted him to relieve her of the torture“Patience sweetie….all in due time” he muttered with a deep voice.“I can’t wait any more, please relieve me of my torture. Please…..I am burning and I need you to put this fire off my body” she begged.But he was not done with her, he wanted to see her in her knees begging. He wanted to see Celine vulnerable, that was another thing that kept the fire burning between them.“I want to hear you tell me what exactl
The man chuckled then nodded his head” yeah that is right like you. Always hiding from the truth. Did you know that I can feel your stares even if I have closed my eyes?” Celine quickly pulled down the blanket with surprise in her face.What the hell was he talking about? So all the times that she had been gawking at him, he knew? What a cheeky bastard that Jared had turned in to.” No I don’t believe you, but please go on and bathe, you are going to be late for your work” she said to distract his attention.Soon she was relieved when she heard him open the bathroom door then the shower was opened. She could hear water splashing on the tilled floor.After wards, when Celine came out of the shower she changed in to a casual clothe. Jared had already left since he was in a hurry, so as much as she didn’t like it but today she was goings to have to eat breakfast alone. He was late because of the hot sex they had early in the morning, just thinking about it made her blush red like a tomat
“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
