Since he wanted her to hurry up, he did not get in to the shower with her. He would have liked it but there was always another time, but for now he better leave her alone.When they reached the hospital, they met Dean in his office busy as always. “He greeted them and then he took them right away to Patrick’s room. He was just sleeping peacefully and no one could have believed that he just came out of a coma.“Daddy……oh……Daddy, you are wake. Don’t ever do this to me ever again, I will die with you. I swear it was so unbearable when you were asleep” Celine cried while grabbing his head. She didn’t mean to wake him up but the excitement got better of her.Upon seeing that he was lost despite Celine being emotional in front of him, Celine immediately knew that there was something amiss.“Daddy look at me, it is me your baby. Please I need to hear you say that you recognize Me.” she started getting anxious because Patrick continued to look at her blankly. She was startled, she knew that h
The beauty of having wealth was that anything was possible but Dean wasn’t sure if Patrick needed another doctor because his case was special, he has never heard of it. But he didn’t want to disappoint Old Mr. Rowan” I promise that I will look in to it”“Good, give me feedback when you have enough information for me” he had replied.“Mr. Rowan, you can also count on Celine and me. We will do anything for him to recover” Jared offered.The man was impressed by his concern, he has heard a lot of stories about Jared and sometimes he wondered how a sweet woman like Celine got involved with him. Jared Walker was the devil, he was ruthless and heartless.“Son, I appreciate your help. I know Patrick would be very proud of you. I haven’t gotten the chance to tell you this but please continue protecting my granddaughter the way you have been doing. Recently, I heard how you intervened for her when Joel wanted to ambush her. I don’t know how Joel managed to beat me but I want you to known that
“Of course, just call me anything you want to” she replied with a smile, no wonder Alexis and Celine had a good relationship. The two had the biggest hearts ever. Still Jared couldn’t believe that Alexis was treating him tenderly like this when he was the one responsible for Nolan’s arrest. Life could never get more surprising.“ Are you comfortable? If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask me about it” he kissed her cheeks and turned to Jason who looked better than he was yesterday.“Uncle Jason, thank you for coming. Please, continue taking care of this beautiful woman. She deserves nothing but the best from all of us”Why was Jared making her feel special? If it was Nolan doing this in his place, she would have been the happiest woman on earth. However, as sad as she may feel, she had decided that she was going to be happy no matter what , Nolan was not going to define the direction of her life. Alexis thought silently.The man smiled shyly “don’t you get worried, Jared. She is
“Mother, you always cause problems wherever you go. What brought you here?” Jared asked impatiently.Danna shrugged her shoulders and replied “Huh…… I was just passing by when I heard that the slut’s father was awake and he is useless. I had to come and see with my own two eyes. What a shame, he can’t even remember his own daughter. Celine you are a cursed woman. Why it is that bad things follow you everywhere. Gosh …. I might be the worst mother or daughter but I don’t usually attract trouble the same way you do” her tongue was so sharp. Celine felt furious, she didn’t care whether Danna insulted her but she would not allow her to talk bad about her father “with due respect Danna, I won’t sit here and listen to you insulting my family. Please leave immediately, all you have done since you came here is to make trouble” Celine ordered.Danna pointed a finger at her face” Are you sending me away, silly girl? Watch your mouth, don’t think that because you have my son’s protection you wi
She opened the door to her father’s room only to find April and her mother besides Patrick’s bed. She didn’t even know who informed them about Patrick’s recovery.She was rooted to her spot, she couldn’t utter any word. This was unreal in her eyes. Did her father wake up with a different personality? Why the hell was he being soft towards April while he barely recognized her? What the hell was happening here?“Celine, do you want me to chase them away?” Jared said but the three were busy to even recognize their presence.Celine put on a serious face and said” Jared, I love my father so much and if those two are the ones that make him happy right now, then I have no choice but to be a bystander even though it tears my heart apart.”Jared didn’t believe his ears.“You can do better than this sweetie, don’t you remember that the two had something to do with your father’s hospitalization?” he asked with an icy mood, he couldn’t believe that Celine was just giving up that easily after all
This was it, her father was slipping away from her just like that. Tears flowed freely on her face as she turned her back reluctantly to leave his room. Jared held her waist and led her outside. He wished to take away her pain but in this case it was just difficult.On their way out, they met Joel. He was wearing a bright smile as he stared at Celine’s blood shot eyes.” Did you already meet you father?” He asked sarcastically and then laughed” Celine, I told you that no one will ever win against me. You might have taken the company and my father’s favour but I will gain them back. As for your dad, we are just buying time, I won’t hesitate to do away with him.” He was so shameless, he didn’t even have any ounce of remorse at all. Did the two come from the same mother or what? Why did he hate his brother this much?Celine couldn’t help but shout” For God’s sake Joel, why don’t you wait for him to recover so that he can defend himself? I think that you are the biggest coward in the who
“Do you think that I like being related to you, Jared? I hate you so much. I have never loathed anybody the way I do towards you. I came here in Mombasa just to take my revenge and even blood will not prevent me. But I am a very fair person, I am going to give you time, I think one month is enough for you to leave the presidency for me”He just knew it, Nolan wasn’t going to sit still without having to come and claim the presidency. Jared didn’t even know who between Enzo and Nolan was the worst. What he knew was that Nolan was a thug but he wasn’t going to get scared by him, he has had worse enemies than him.“Never ……in your dreams, Nolan. If I took your wife and she has never looked at you. Why should I give you my company? Am I lose in the head? ” he asked with a sneer in his handsome face. Nolan stood up and announced” Well, my dear cousin. I am leaving but I will be back, so I hope that we won’t get to that ugly stage because you think that you are more powerful than me” he hes
“It’s alright Daddy, can I call you that for the time being? It is just that I was so fond of you before as if you were my own father” Celine explained awkwardly. Any way nothing in her life looked perfect and she wasn’t expecting it to start now.The man smiled showing off his white teeth “Of course dear, what I would wish for the most is to go back to my house with my family. Oh….they were so nice to me, they spoiled and pampered me. Celine is a great daughter and I am so sad that I can’t recall anything in my past even though my wife told me that it wasn’t important” he confessed.Celine felt icy all of a sudden, it seemed that April and her mother were intending on confusing Patrick so that he couldn’t remember. He can still sign documents and give order. Perhaps they were counting on that so that they could get their hands in his properties.“Daddy, I have to warn you. Always consult the right person before signing any papers or documents. You have lost your memory, so probably y
“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
