“What? Did you just lose your company?” Mason asked aloud. He didn’t know for real but sometimes he just behaved like a stupid person, how could he ask such question when Jared was blazing with fire. It was even luck that Jared hasn’t exploded and he wondered why?“I think you shouldn’t be surprised, my brother took over with the help of my lovely grandparents “he shrugged his shoulders as if it was just nothing to bother him. Anyway, it was very difficult for Mason to understand Jared, things that he expected to get him depressed didn’t touch him at all.However he suddenly calmed down and announced “kindly take me to Mombasa Beach Resort. I know I will find them there. It was our favourite place to visit during Sundays. Ivan will be aloof while drinking and Dean will be hanging around ladies all over.” Jared just decided that he didn’t want to get worked up, he might go there and do something stupid again, he just needed a cool and collected mind to be able to face his friends turn
Dean was equally surprised, Jared knew no boundaries but he was sorry that this time he was going to take sides” I have to say that Ivan have no obligation to help you. Please leave us alone, we have even tried our best to entertain you.”But Jared knew that this could happen and so he came prepared, he wasn’t going to leave the place unless they agreed to help him.“I see that you want it the hard way. Listen to me both of you, I didn’t come all the way here to look for you and then go empty handed. Ivan you are going to help me whether you like it or not. I don’t care if you don’t want to” he said arrogantly showing how dominant he still was of the three friends.Ivan’s mouth gaped, what the hell did he ever do to the guy. He doesn’t even respect him anymore and wants to boss him around. “I said I won’t, now get the hell out of here” he shouted.Now the situation was tense and Jared wasn’t sure whether to approach them or not. But there was one thing for sure, Ivan was going to defe
“Do you two know each other?” He asked as he looked at Celine with pleading eyes because he knew that he had messed with the wrong person. His job was important to him and he didn’t want to lose it just because of a stupid mistake. How would he fend for his family?Suddenly Lina held Celine’s hands tightly, it seemed that the lady of steel was finally afraid but what was it that she was scared of? Celine wondered“Celine, Ivan is also here, that guy is going to hurt me again.” Lina said with a trembling voice. Celine hadn’t noticed them and now that she was looking well, Jared’s two friends were standing right beside him and she wondered what they were doing together. She thought that they were not on talking terms.“Apologize now to her” Jared growled his eyes were blazing with fire. His friends too looked at the manager intimidatingly as if they were ready to beat the hell out of him. Celine wondered if they were defending her or what? No….No….No….she must be dreaming and it wasn’t
It sounded harsh coming from her but she never liked guys who looked down on others. So he deserved everything coming to him.“I was just coughing….” Lina lied and held her mouth pretending to be coughing. It was so embarrassing but she just didn’t want to start arguing with the guy. Ivan stared at her and she couldn’t help but get uncomfortable. She didn’t know what his plans were for her up to now.Celine interrupted them because it seemed that the people weren’t interested in what she wanted to say. Instead they wanted to punish the guy severely but she will not allow it. She will not allow anyone to be beaten because of her.Being with Jared came with its own consequence but her mind was clear.“I think we were both wrong in our own way , the manager had said that he didn’t know who I was and any one of us can make the same mistake . So I implore you, just forgive him for my sake” Celine said and then looked down.Jared moved to her side and then held her chin” are you sure that
“Okay, next time you want to go somewhere, inform me and I will take you. From now onwards I will have a lot of free time and it shouldn’t be difficult for me to find time for you. I don’t want anyone else harassing you, am I understood?”“Alright” Celine said, and in fact she didn’t even see the reason why he was angry with them. Was it because she rejected their offer to discipline the guy or what? But it didn’t matter, she knew that he will calm down and things will go back to normal.Lina didn’t like that at all, Just the thought of riding with him in the same car is not possible. From the day that Celine decided to invite him on their trips, she will have nothing to do with her. She will not be able to meet up with Celine until the guy was minding his own business” Lina thought inside, she didn’t dare say it aloud because she already knew the consequences.“Celine let us go. I don’t want to stay here anymore” Lina was impatient she didn’t want to be near the man any more. The thr
“I don’t ….know…..what you are talking about” Ivan tried to deny it but the man himself took the phone with him. He could hear his grave voice as he wasn’t joking, he meant every single word that he said. Jared was so evil, he didn’t even have limits.“Ivan, time is ticking, you better decide as fast as you could. This is my first culprit and I have all the 20 of them lined up, so don’t force my hands, you have to do this” he said with no emotions in his voice at all. It was as if he didn’t even recognize that they have been friends for years” son of a bitch…….” Ivan cursed.“If you continue cursing your own stupidity, you are the only one who will come crying later. I am repeating myself Ivan, what would it be, should I start with this one or should we have the agreement right now? You might hate me but I am really being as patience as I could because if not they all would have been dead by now”“This is duress and it is not allowed under the law. I don’t want to represent that woman
Ivan looked at him with pleading eyes as he scanned the room” where is him? I want to see his dead body, please Jared don’t tell me that this is truly happening.”But he ignored him and continued to focus his gaze on them. He was behaving mysterious and the two friends didn’t know what plans he had for them.“Well, at least the lawyer is okay but the doctor needs a bucket of cold water to come back to his senses. He then signaled one of his men who came with a bucket of water and poured it on Dean “What the hell did you do that for, man?” Dean wasn’t pleased as he wiped the water off his face, he was wearing his expensive casual clothes but now they were soaking on water that he didn’t even know its origins.“Jared, you could have done better than this” Dean woke up very fast and started looking for any sign of an injured person. “He is not here but you will get to see him once you sign the agreement.” He instructed and brought out a well drafted document. Ivan didn’t even want to arg
“Is there any way I can help you get your company back? I know how much you loved it and I don’t trust that foolish brother of yours. They are going to destroy everything that you have worked so hard for” Ivan offered. Sometimes he was insane, the man just threatened him with the most painful thing ever and he was here offering his help. He must have bewitched him somehow.Dean also felt helpless, both of them had witnessed how Jared worked through sleepless nights to bring the company to what it was now. He wished he could also do something to help him in some kind of a way. They may seem that they don’t care about him but he was still their friend despite his uncalled for characters and betrayals.“I am sorry brother, I am just a doctor and I can’t help you much. Apparently you don’t become sick often, you are only crazy in the head or how else would you have the guts to kill someone. I sometimes ask myself what you are made of. Anyway, I don’t treat crazy people” Dean said while sm
“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
