“Shut up, you are not better than them” Celine snarled and looked at Nolan with questions in her eyes. Up to now she still couldn’t believe that Nolan was there in person and he hasn’t hurled even a single insult at her. What was going on in his arrogant head?Nolan laughed seeing the disbelief in her eyes. Right now she was having conflicted thoughts. Wherever the two men were, things were bound to be deadly. Why did Jared and Nolan have to meet up again? She really had a very bad feeling while climbing up the stairs. She must not get distracted, she must observe the scene carefully to prevent any surprises.So Celine hid her body in one of the corridors while following on what was happening outside.Jared counted to fifty and then Mason informed him that there was still one media who hasn’t pulled down the photos of him and Celine half naked on their pages.” Give me the name and I will deal with them?”“The people” He looked at the crowd who all had their faces full of worry” If
“Jared, are you okay” Celine asked after Nolan disappeared.The man looked at her icily and then asked” why didn’t you call me or are you happy that the jerk came first? All you had to do was take your damn phone and give me a call. What if something bad would have happened to you if I hadn’t arrived?’Gosh……dealing with Jared when he was in a terrible mood was the worst thing .Celine couldn’t believe that he was still jealous of Nolan after all that they had passed through. In this case, to neutralize things, she just had to apologize. “I am sorry, I wasn’t thinking properly but hopefully something like this won’t happen again” she sighed with a relief while looking at him with desperation in her eyes.“You have far too many enemies to relax. In the future, if you notice anything off even if it just something insignificant, make sure you give me a call, okay.”“Fine, let me go and clean you up. Nolan really did mess with your face. I didn’t even know he knew how to throw punches. He
Celine smirked and kissed him gently on the lips” my advice is that you take each day as it comes. You never know what is in store for you in the future. Anything is just possible even those that you have never thought about”“I think you are absolutely right”At that moment, his phone rang and without giving it much thought, Jared just answered it. On the other side of the phone came his grandfather’s deep voice.“Son, I am sorry to disturb you but I need you at the house now. There is a family meeting and you should come with Celine. “Jared wasn’t sure whether everything was fine.” Grand pa, don’t you think that we should wait until evening? It is still working hours and obviously I am at work” Jared challenged. Besides, he didn’t want to start explaining to his grandfather about who hurt him. He might think that he had gone back to the underworld again.He sighed heavily over the phone and then continued “I know son but this is important for it to wait any longer, so postpone every
He was very impatient, instead of the man telling him what this was all about. He was busy asking him irrelevant questions. Didn’t he always know that his anxiousness always got better of him?Jared was rude and his grandparents knew that if they insisted, he would get even worse after drinking his whiskey, so they had no option but to shut up for what was to come will turn his life upside down.“Fine just take care of yourself” old Mr. Walker curved his mouth and took along sip of the drink.Shortly after, a knock came through and the butler escorted a man in to the house. Jared almost chocked on his drink as he looked at Nolan’s arrogant face.“What is this bastard doing in my house?” his expression was deadly. The alcohol in his system wasn’t even doing him any good.“If you can answer that question for me, it would do us both good. To be honest, I don’t know either. All I know is that I got a call from my parents to come here and since it didn’t cost me anything I obeyed them.”“I
Old Mr. Walker cleared his voice” family, I have news but I know that most of you here won’t be pleased. All I ask is that you don’t fight each other because we are already one family.”Jason had now gotten some hint, the way this noble man was warm towards him, just signified that there was more to this visit. All he wanted was for it to be said once and for all. It seemed that the day was meant for him to be surprised.“We are listening, please go ahead. Whatever it is, we are adults and I am sure that we will try to be patient with each other” he said and then held Alexis hands for she will be the source of his strength should anything out of the ordinary happens.Old. Mr Walker looked at his side and announced” Jason, you are my son and Nolan is my grandson. That makes him and Jared cousins. ”Old madam Walker’s eyes watered with tears” yes… you are the first fruit of my womb, please don’t be angry with us. I beg you my son.”She begged, she could not bear for his rejection. As th
Old madam Walker breathed heavily, Celine held her hand and nodded to her with support “Jason, I was young when I got pregnant with you. Our family was one of the most respected one and therefore we couldn’t shame them. It would have damaged the image of both of the families.”She hesitated and asked for a glass of water for she felt her throat extremely dry. Céline offered her and she was glad.“We talked about it with your father and we decided to give the baby for adoption to a family that was in dire need. Your parents couldn’t have a child of their own and they raised you with love and care. The only thing that we did was to give them a helping hand.”“What are you talking about? The surprises are still not over?” Alexis asked on behalf of Jason. As for now he couldn’t even talk. Things didn’t make sense to him, his little perfect life was never real, and instead he was lied to and raised by a family that was never his.Old Mr. Walker decided to continue” your family wasn’t well
“Besides, the company papers were handled in secret, so even if we started reclaiming it, it will nearly be impossible. As my husband said, let us focus on our family. We might be dysfunctional like Nolan had said but we are still family, right?“I don’t get where you are going with this, mother? All I want is for the imposters to go away. This is my mansion and I don’t want any rubbish.”“Danna, at least spare my husband, he is not feeling well. Perhaps, you can wait after sometime so that you can square this out” Alexis begged her to stop but Danna was too furious to have to hear her talk.“How it is my problem? I don’t want to see the piece of shit. Let him go back to Nairobi and continue being the illegitimate child that he is. Didn’t my father give him a company? Well I don’t need a brother or a sister or anything. I just want to be left alone, right my sweet boy? She asked Enzo.“As you wish mommy” he replied.Jason couldn’t handle this pressure, Alexis was only startled when s
Old madam Walker and Old Mr Walker were confused beyond words. They didn’t know whether to cry for their child who was lying down unconscious because of their terrible mistake or cry over the family that was unpredictable. Not long ago they wanted to kill each other but now they were one family trying to save one of them.“Son, please don’t do this to us. Darling I will die if something happened to him” Old madam Walker lamented.“And I will die with you” Old Mr Walker sniffed his nose.“Dad, don’t talk nonsense, he will be alright” Danna comforted.The first respondent people definitely knew that the phone call was coming from walker family house and so they hurriedly sped off. They didn’t want to get in to trouble since the woman threatened them.A knock was heard on the door. The butler quickly opened it and in a jiffy Jason was lighted in to a stretcher. As he was being placed on the back of the ambulance, Alexis insisted that she would stay with him. Other family members also fo
“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
