April could afford a smile as she hugged her mother tight on the shoulder.Some one cleared his voice” do you mind telling me what is making you happy? Just a moment ago you two were arguing, not that I care about it, but I know it is just something evil” Patrick commented with a don’t care look. He had drunk a little and it was making him feel free to state his mind.Jemma sneered “Why are you interested in what we are talking about when you don’t even care about your daughter. Patrick ,when was the last time you listened to her problems or better yet when was the last time you stood up for her? All you do is defend that child from hell?”Patrick laughed sarcastically” I have been defending the two of you all this years but what have I got to show for it? I can’t do it any more, I have chosen to mind my business and only care for those who care about me. Anyway, I came to tell you that I will be sending someone here to look at my things. If anything turns out to be missing then yo
The announcement came” every one please be seated as the court will start shortly”The plaintiff lawyer was the first one to stand up. Ivan knew the man, in fact he was one of his mentors back when he was still gaining feet in his career. He began to wonder where Joel got him from. He had heard some rumours recently that the lawyer was unscrupulous and that was why he cut his ties with him.“Your honor, my name is Mr. Daniel Cooper and I will be representing the plaintiff. In my introduction, I would like to state that I have studied this case in length and I have to say that my clients have the right to the land which I will demonstrate shortly. Thank you ‘he finished and sat down.Joel nodded his head in agreement. Celine thought “how could someone be this evil? Next the defendant’s lawyer stood up. Ivan Barret also did his introduction with his head held high with confidence. Even if he looked to this man before for advises, he will not intimidate him at all. Now more than ever, h
Director Erick couldn’t contain his anger anymore and ended up shouting “He is lying, I personally met him with my fellow director and we signed all the agreements. We paid him the full amount of the money. How can you lie like that? Please tell the truth.”The judge hit the table” Please behave in my court. The defendant lawyer, advise your people to have some disciple or I will throw them out of the court.” I understand your honour” Ivan replied politely.“Director Erick, please calm down, I will handle everything” Ivan tried to console him, he was already worked up and he was sweating everywhere. That stupid man has been paid and so he had the guts to look into his eyes and tell a lie.“You see ,my client had been threatened because they knew that they didn’t have the rightful papers. So my honour, I arrest my case because it is clear that my client is the owner who is being wronged here” Daniel said and went to sit down.“Alright, I think that we have heard from the plaintiff si
The man assumed as if he didn’t hear what Lina was saying and addressed Jared “Please, you should go home before any unnecessary scene again. Whatever happens here will automatically affect the outcome of our case. I will take care of Lina, okay”Jared chuckled sarcastically” he was just happy to see how miserable Lina was looking but what amazed him was how Ivan had the patience to stand in for the woman when he didn’t even like her.Celine turned to Lina” Bestie will you be, okay?”“Celine let her be. She is in good hands. I think it is so good to let them sort out their issues or continue the hate.” Jared muttered excitedly and Ivan stared daggers at him. Here he was compromising with the unbearable woman to protect him and Celine, he wasn’t even appreciating it.“Don’t worry about me, at least I have told that piece of shit my mind.” She said but inside her mind, she kept on screaming” please don’t leave me alone with him, Celine. I really fear this jerk. What will he do to me? Bu
Somehow, he felt at ease while kissing her. It was this strange feeling that made him lose his patience at the time when she took advantage of him. Not really……he enjoyed ravishing those full and inviting lips and he couldn’t wait to taste them again.It has been driving him crazy since the day that he tasted them. He couldn’t sleep without thinking about her, but why did this happen to him. It had to be the woman that he didn’t want to associate with.Lina surrendered, this was too much for her to be able to have some control. The man held her tenderly and kissed her passionately while letting her know that people can be different. He made her realize that there was a slight chance that she could feel something special with a man.Lina responded with her own hungry and unrestraint desire giving the man an opportunity to completely consume her. They were floating somehow in their own world, no one could have imagined that not long ago, the two were enemies who didn’t seem to see eye t
“I promise. Anyway, let us not talk about the court case. Let us do something interesting. We have to learn how to balance challenges and good times” the moment he finished saying those words his mouth landed on her” Oh...…he didn’t know how long she had been longing to kiss him and transfer all her frustrations to this.She has been silently keeping everything bottled inside. She wanted to kick or punch something but there was none. So it was good to know that there was someone giving her opportunity to release everything.“Yeah…. I think we have wasted enough time.” She said coquettishly. Any way she had been through so many problems, it was a high time that she started putting them aside for her own happiness. Happiness only come to those people who embrace it but if you keep on focusing on all the things that were negative in life, it would weigh on your shoulders.“Huh…..I thought that you weren’t in the mood, but now that I have gotten your message, let us get started.” He l
Dean too followed him and sat next to him.The judges walked in to the court room and the occupants stood up in their respects. After they had sat down, it was time to begin the day’s proceedings.“ Everyone thank you so much for coming early .As you know, we are still on the land issue case and so I would like to give the defendant lawyer a chance to state his side of the story.” The head of the judges announced.“Thank you my honor for the opportunity. As I had said before, I still insist that our client is the rightful owner of this land. I have provided all the signed documents including the plaintiff’s witness own signature. I do hope you will consider this during your judgment. Cutting the story short, may I invite a witness to the stand?“You may proceed” the judge ordered.Director Erick stood up and headed to the stand. He swore that he will tell nothing but the whole truth. Celine looked at him and encouraged him a bit, she just hoped that his statement will give a different
“Are you sure you want to do this? ” he asked as he knew that he never wanted it to come to this, but due to his failure, Jared was considering something he never thought he will ever do in his life.Before he lost his mind back then, he was the best that there was .He was famous and the most expensive professional in the whole country. After recovering, people didn’t trust him anymore, even the judges shunned him saying that he wasn’t competent enough to handle any case. Who would have blamed them? He just got crazy and was locked up. But today for this clueless woman he was ready to become that powerful man again and let him see if the thugs in the house will defeat him.Jared nodded and Ivan smiled devilishly. He went to Daniel and muttered” don’t celebrate yet, I am going to appeal the case” he sneered and Daniel didn’t seem to mind him. This kid was just a piece of cake that he can trample on however he wanted. Even if he appealed it with different evidence, he will still wi
“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
