“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
“How did this happen?” Jared asked because Dean was looking at them blankly. Due to the alcohol, he couldn’t differentiate between the real things and his imaginations.“What happened was that when we were born, someone stole the two of us. Our mother was told that she had a still birth and that was why she thought that we were dead. Fortunately, the people who raised us were good and they gave us everything that we needed.”“What….I will kill everyone who had a hand in this .Just tell me everything that you know” Dean suddenly became alert. “Dean, leave that to me. I am good at doing the dirty work. Just go and treat your patients. Besides, it will look really awkward when you are a doctor who is supposed to save life. “Jared commented and he really meant it. It seemed that he had been dormant for a while and he needed to remind these people that no one messes with his family and friends.“Jared, stop talking to me. Everyone has his limits and I don’t think that you are the only one
“Daddy……Iris, I think we are going to leave now. I need to digest everything that has happened today, okay. Dean, I forgive you. I recognize that you have been good to me lately and I appreciate my family. Ivan, you are the aloof one but I like you regardless, thank you for always being there for me. Jared, let us go home.” Celine said as he looked at both of her parents with red eyes.“Jared, please take care of my little cousin. If I would have known, I wouldn’t have let that April toy with you. I love you” Dean said emotionally and then sent her flying kisses. So this was why he was feeling strange things towards Iris.Celine smiled, this was the most beautiful scene since she came to Mombasa. How was it possible that your worst enemy could become your friend and family? God does his things in an unusual way.“Don’t love her too much. I am warning you, Dean” Jared didn’t forget to say.“Cousin, always count on me. I will make it up to you for the times that I made you cry.” Dean s
Celine captured his mouth and kissed him passionately” You don’t need to plead. You know that I will always do whatever you say. I am your slave and you are my master. So please, can we go already” she laughed with tears in her eyes. Whenever she was with him everything was simple and straight forward.“That is my sweet Celine. I will make the arrangements right this moment.” He said and pulled out his phone then he dialed Mason’s number. “Yes boss, I was just about to call you.” Mason sounded stressed out” Your new employee just came and caused trouble in the company. Where are you? I have been calling you nonstop “he complained.Right now he was fed up with Nolan’s arrogance, he didn’t care whether Jared will scold him or send him to hell. After all, this was his company and it was his responsibility to oversee its operations. He was only but an assistant, the same way Nolan had been reminding him over and over. He had it up to his throat.“As always I was handling personal probl
What was going on here? Was it that Victor was also in love with Celine? Great…..great….. Just great. Now three men were fighting for her love. Anyway, he shouldn’t be concerned about Victor. He will always control him and tell him what to do. He has come too far to get distracted, he had been silently stalking Jared to know his moves so that he can take him out. He wanted Celine for himself. May be …… he could manage to persuade her to come back to him after Jared’s death, disappearance or whatever fate he will decide for him.She knew very well that no one in their right senses will ever accept her with her soiled past. He was the only man for her and it was never Jared from the very beginning. The thing was that he has to write their destiny the way he wishes and not the way nature wanted it to be.“Don’t tell me that you also love her…..” his tone was so dark that it could kill any one.“No ….she is not my type. I like the blonde ones.” The man replied, knowing that he was lyin
She could make out his face clearly” Nolan…..how …..Did you find me?” she said with tears trickling down on her cheeks. Up to now ,she couldn’t believe that Jared was gone. How was it even possible that she opened her eyes and found this trouble maker beside her? What was he even doing in Dubai?“The most important thing is that you are safe. You don’t need to worry, I will take you to the hospital and you will be okay.” Nolan talked to her softly, she even wondered if her mind was confusing things but he really was the one in person. “What the hell are you doing in this country? Don’t you know that you are vulnerable when you are with Jared?” He scolded her.Upon hearing his comment, she started crying “where is my husband? Oh……Nolan, did you do something to him. I know it was you, please provide him this instance or you won’t like what I will do to you” she became hysterical. It seemed that the sight of the man that she hated the most brought out her worst character.Nolan looked
While left alone in the room, her eyes clouded with tears. All he could see was Jared’s face. How was she going to survive without him? Whoever took him will never know peace. She will comb everywhere in this world to find him. It was such a pity that she couldn’t even see his reaction when the doctor told her that they were expecting. This baby was going to be her life. No one will ever touch him as long she lives. She wanted to call Jared’s family, but she didn’t know what to tell Old madam Walker. That woman would cry herself to sickness. How she was going to break the news to them, was still a mystery.What she needed to do was to calm down and be strong. There was nothing she was going to accomplish by acting like a weakling. Jared would have wanted her to hold her head up and face the world.Nothing should scare her. As long as no one has said that Jared was dead, then she still has hope that he was somewhere planning on how to return to her and their baby.Quickly she stood
“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
