“Nolan, you have always lost to me and you should be man enough to accept defeat .From today onwards, I am the boss lady, the most powerful woman in the city. I am not doing it for myself but for my Jared. I know he will support me from wherever he is. So this said, stop being a baby and shut up” Celine said harshly.“You dare talk to me like that? Celine, you know that I don’t take these kinds of things lightly. We will see who will have the last laugh” Nolan said coldly and looked at old Mr. Walker.“You are the worst thing that has ever happened in my life. I hate you more than I have ever hated anyone in this world. How could you back stab me in this manner, old? Mr. Walker? I don’t want anything to do with you or this family. One thing for sure is that all of you will regret ever betraying me. You can go to hell for all I care.”Alexis laughed, she was even wondering why it has taken him long to bring out his true self.” Well done son, pretending and acting like a good boy neve
Celine hugged him back with tears rolling down on her cheeks. She has been sensitive a little too much. She must get ahold of herself or she will fall apart and disappoint this people who have been so considerate to her.This family made her emotional by just the way they treated her. It was like she was their own flesh and blood, yet she was only married to their grandson.Alexis smiled at her and Jason nodded in her direction to show her their support. It was really overwhelming. She was sure that whatever will happen, Walker Corporation will be a success the same way she had done with the other companies.“I will talk to you later child, don’t stay at the house alone. If you like, you can move into the mansion and I will be glad to take care of you” old Madam Walker said affectionately.“I will think about it, grandma. Thank you so much for the offer” she said and was about to go in to her new office when she heard the most unusual request she couldn’t begin to imagine.“Celine, ca
“Thank you so much, Mason. There is a meeting scheduled for tomorrow about one of the important project of the company. I need you to give me the back ground of the contract. I have never meddled in Jared’s business or deals, so obviously I am very clueless.”“With pleasure, Boss. Until we find Jared, you will be the one that I will look onto from now on wards” he added as he brought out the files. Together with Celine, they studied the contents carefully. She must not go wrong at all. Everything must be well taken care of for she was hoping that Jared will return soon and congratulate her for her good work. “Thank you, Mason. I need you to do me a favour. Please do not mind if I depend on you so much. You are the only one that I can trust.“Oh….if Jared could be as down to earth like Celine, then he wouldn’t have made many enemies. It happens that God chooses people who differ to be together. “I am listening, please go ahead”“I need you to follow Nolan. I feel that he has Jared a
The day was pretty busy with her learning about the company and when she went back home to her lonely house she was really sad. Her phone rang and he picked it up “Baby, I heard the news and I have been busy. Please forgive me, honey. I have been neglecting you these days?” Patrick said over the phone.“Daddy, it is not your fault. It just happened and I am so fed up with my life. I want a different life for myself, is that so hard for me to have? Oh…..Daddy, is there a way that you can help me find Jared. I need him” Celine lamented over the phone. She didn’t know that the moment she heard her father’s voice, she would be this emotional. Up to now she had been dodging the issue with her mother. She still needed time to come to terms with the fact that her mother wasn’t dead and that she was very much alive. She couldn’t believe that she was dealing with the same circle of events.“I will do everything I have to find him, honey. That man helped me when I was sick and I can only rep
He threatened hoping to make the man afraid but what he said next didn’t satisfy Nolan “whatever secret Celine has, we will discuss about it in hell or in heaven. So don’t bother yourself telling me stupid things. I am impatient, let us end this already.”Damn bastard. You know what? Pray to your God because you were going to die today but there are people here looking for you .so I have it move you to another place. Don’t try anything stupid.”Jared laughed sarcastically “Nolan, you are the most useless man ever. No wonder you could never keep Celine by your side. I am here powerless and yet you couldn’t get the courage to kill me. What sort of excuse are you coming up with? No one cares about me except Celine and right now this is the last place that I expect her to be. I want her to rule the company and take it to the best place ever. Just do it already, because if any case I manage to get out of this place alive, I promise you that you won’t see the next day.”Even in his conditi
While chatting with his friend, old .Mr. Walker received a call from Celine. His face lightened up almost immediately and he picked it up. Whenever he sees her reaching out to him, it was as if he was talking to Jared.Even if Jared was crazy, he managed to get someone with a pure soul to join the family. He was so grateful to him for that. “Honey, how was your day?” Did everything go well at the company?” He asked with a concerned voice.“Grand pa, don’t you know me? I can handle just any pressure. The thing is that I miss Jared so much and that is why it helps for me to keep busy. I still believe that he will come back and we will continue from where we had left. I can’t help but keep on having hope.” “Thank you my child, your strength gives me motivation to be able to move on even in his absence. So how may I help you?’ he asked.“There has been a request for an urgent meeting. Our major investor has asked us to meet tomorrow in the morning for he has a very important mess
Alexis and Jason remained quiet. They didn’t understand the current events at all and they had no right to get involved. They weren’t there when Jared was born and they never knew what he went through.Old Mr. Walker stood up, he wasn’t t feeling well. It must be his imaginations. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that a man will show up and claim Jared. Why was he even here? He was nowhere when a little boy needed him. He couldn’t help but to ask” who is your son? Up until now I don’t understand what you are talking about “The man raised his brows to look at Old. Mr. Walker” Of course Jared is my son and I have to find him as soon as possible. I am not going to stop until he comes back. If you people failed to protect him, then I had no option but to show up”“What! Why are you lying to us, Mr. Gavin? I raised that man alone. He never had any father and for you to stand here in front of me and tell me to my face that he is your son doesn’t make any sense at all. Where were yo
Oh….Mommy, I suffered so much, I was diagnosed with post natal depression and I hated Jared so much for putting me in that situation. The good thing was that I wasn’t a murderer and I never wanted to mess with any one especially because he was my child. So I took him and brought him to you, I knew you were a kind hearted person and you wouldn’t have abandoned him like I did.”“Danna, please make me understand. Some part of me knew that you weren’t that heartless. “Old madam Walker sighed with a relief “After that you lied about me, right?” Oscar asked and she was startled, she didn’t even know how he found out about her little fat lie.“Yeah….. I had no option. I told my parents that you were a useless musician who only cared about himself and didn’t want to raise a child. What kind of a lie would you have liked me to come up with. I am even doing you a favour because I would have chosen to tell them that you are a criminal that you really are or that you died in jail. I was alone
“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
