If he thought that Jared would just walk away like that then he was wrong. He had miscalculated his moves, no one dared the man and gets to have the last laugh. Jared had expected this from Nolan, so he came prepared. Today, he will give him a taste of what he can do. The good thing was that they weren’t with his family and he didn’t have to restraint himself. If he wanted, he could kill him once and for all.Oh…….he would like to end him but his grandfather will be so sad. He will think that he did it because he didn’t want to work with him in Walker Corporation. How would he explain to him that the man kept on pushing him to the edge?Jared couldn’t dare to look at his grandfather’s face knowing that he was the cause of his sorrow. Besides, Celine wouldn’t like that he had killed the man, he still wondered why his woman was that soft hearted. With a lazy attitude, Jared sat down on Nolan’s chair like king. He crossed his legs and glared at him intimidatingly more like telling him
“How am I supposed to know, Celine? Am I his nanny? Even if you pay me a million dollars in order to keep an eye on him, I won’t. Just focus on recovering and leave that devil to do what pleases him” Dean said.Honestly, he was pissed off because Jared ignored his call. He expected him to pick up his calls and yet when he had something important to tell him, he brings jokes in to it. “Dean….. Don’t you know that he doesn’t think straight when he is under pressure? How can you talk like that? Where is Nolan? I thought that I saw a car like his before the accident “Celine can now recall what happened bit by bit and the truth was that the guy might have been the one who pulled her out of the wreckage. The road was deserted and she was very sure that she would have stayed there a bit longer.“I don’t know, the two of them just decided to disappear at the same time. If I were you, I would delete the both of them from my memory.” It appeared that it was like he was holding some grudge
Celine stayed in the hospital for some days. She was lucky that she didn’t injure any major organ. Even though she was still weak, she didn’t want to stay back in the house, her first priority was to go and see her father. She had gotten an update that he was being treated by Iris but there was still no major improvement. She was continuously devising ways to help him recover. In Iris very own words, she said that his condition was still very delicate and it had to be approached in a careful manner. That meant that she needed more time to be able to give her final recommendations and conclusions.The moment she entered the mansion, she saw Patrick seated on his chair looking at a daze. He had become old a little bit or she thought. May be, it might be that she hadn’t seen him in a while. Oh…..she wished for the day her father would smile at her knowingly, she could give just anything for that day to come.“Mr. Rowan. How have you been? I am sorry I couldn’t come to visit you these
“Oh….Celine, there are things that are better left in the past. I don’t wish to talk about it because I went through hell in the past. People are evil my daughter and you would be shocked at what they can do for money.”“I am not new to this kind of things that have to do with money, so just try me. May be, I can understand, our stories might be similar and we can find solace in each other. I don’t know why I feel that I need to know you. Was it because I haven’t seen my mother Alma for so long?” She asked absent mindedly and Iris stiffened .She didn’t imagined that it would be this soon. Should she tell her the truth or should she just leave things as she continued disguising herself. Until when will she continue running from that witch who tried to murder her?“Celine, I was born in this city. I had a very lovely family and a normal childhood. All this years, I have tried to understand what happened but I can’t seem to come up with an answer. Everything just vanished like that. The
When April, came to see him a week ago, she mentioned that they will bring gifts. She must have guessed it well and he had been thinking about how to deal with them. It seems that there was something hideous in their generous act.Jemma smiled and then came over with a document for signing. “We did it out of good faith but if you want to help us. We need you to sign this paper. It is just necessary to change the name of the business. It doesn’t sound better nowadays and besides the current president have tainted it with her immoral name. We want a new brand name for it so that we can make it more successful” Jemma offered.“Yes we can try something like Patrick Corporation or just any other name that you wish for. You were the president before you unfortunately lost your memory. “Joel added.“Is that all that you want” he asked while scanning the room.Off course. It was better to get rid of him so that they wouldn’t have to deal with Celine again. Last time, the crazy men almost kil
“Jemma, I warned you to never mess with me. I gave you the chance to disappear but you have insisted on coming to bother me. Weren’t you the one who poisoned me? What more do you want from me? Should I kill all of you? “"Daddy……” Celine called emotionally” you really have your memory. I am so happy for you “With eyes filled with affection, he turned her attention back to Jared and Celine” kids, I am so grateful that you tried to look out for my best interest. Jared, thank you so much for beating the hell out of these criminals. You should have just killed them so that you could rid the world of their evil deeds. I don’t really care about them” he said icily. He was no longer the warm and cheerful Patrick he was before. He looked like a man who had reached his end. His eyes were sharp and unforgiving as he looked at April and Jemma. These were the people he thought he would call family even though they weren’t what he wanted. He was ready to accommodate them since it wasn’t good fo
“Who is your sister? Celine asked with her heart beating. This story was somehow familiar but why did everything bad have to concern her. She didn’t understand her fate, she was at a loss for words.“Don’t worry, honey. You will get to find out soon. I made arrangement with the midwife and she declared me dead after the birth of my child, a burial was arranged for me but actually there was nothing in my coffin. It was empty. I was never in that hole, and someone here wished for it. How can a normal human being have such a twisted heart?” Jemma looked pale, no wonder this woman was being mysterious from the time she came to treat Patrick. She had killed her before, why did she come back to life? Some people do not deserve to live.” She thought disgustedly.“Grace!” Jemma exclaimed” but how did your name change to Iris? And what happened to your face. It kind of look different but your voice sounded like her.”Jared was even more startled. He couldn’t understand whether Grace or Iris
“Oh….darling, when I heard that it was you, I just had to come. I think that I have been running for a very long period and it was time to come back to my family. Besides, I wanted to meet my daughter” she turned her face towards Celine who was looking pale and light headed.”“Mommy….I was told you were dead. Why didn’t you come for me earlier?” tears rolled down her cheeks. She hasn’t cried like this for a while.“Honey, I loved you so much to see you get hurt because of me but I am glad that Alma have done a very good job. I am sure that she was going to be more surprised than all of you”“So…..So….. This was the connection I felt for you. You are really my mother. I still don’t believe it.” Oh…..God I must be getting insane imagining things that didn’t exist. “Iris, if it is true that you are my wife’s mother, I will protect you from any harm. This people will not come near you, okay. You three better not dare me, I am warning you for the very last time. Don’t come near Celine an
“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
