Iris was worried too but honestly Celine hadn’t figured what she felt for her .She was still confused and so that was another matter to take care of another time. It might be she wasn’t willing to replace Alma, but how could that be? After talking on the phone for some time, one particular person had been getting her worried. She hasn’t heard from her for a long time. She should have been here with her during her darkest moment, that was what she used to do back then. When she saw her oncoming call, her heart danced with joy. Talk about the devil and she will appear. “Lina, my friend. Oh… Lina. Where did you run to?” She asked anxiously.“First of all, are you alright bestie? I am sorry but I left the country hurriedly. I got an offer to study and being that it was a good opportunity, I accepted. You had so much on your plate that I didn’t want to bother you.”“Why on earth did you leave me alone, Lina? We are supposed to be sisters and I have so much to tell you. Please come
The same effect that Celine had on him before was still there. Even in her absence, she could still manage to change his foul moods. Since the last time he talked to his supposed father, he has locked himself in his room. He didn’t want to be disturbed, all he wanted was to think about her beautiful smile and face.“Celine…..I will come back to you, sweetheart “she whispered before the door to his room was opened.“Mr. Gavin…” a guard called disruptive his thoughts. He got icy as he looked at the guard who was waiting at the door.” My name is Mr. Walker. Please consider yourself dead the next time you call me by that name. Make sure to convey this information to the others because I do not like to repeat myself.” His voice was husky but stern.The guard recoiled back in fright. If they thought that Oscar was deadly then his son was something else. But he didn’t know that it was wrong to call him by his family name. “I am sorry sir. I would never repeat it again. I would make sure to
Celine pouted her mouth” Ivan, you are so cheeky. You are going to make me cry. ”She wiped her tears, that name will always make her feel emotional. She just didn’t understand why Ivan insisted on calling her that.Dean kissed her forehead while comforting her “don’t cry any more, Ivan is foolish. He can never measure up to Jared. Just look at him closely, between him and Jared who is more handsome?”“Idiot …..”Ivan gritted his teeth but all the same he was glad that Celine was alright. When it wasn’t Jared harassing him, then it was Dean.“Ivan, you guys are doing more than enough for me. I really don’t want to bother you. All I want is for you to find Jared for me.” She said emotionally.“ It is our pleasure. Come on, just don’t cry too much. Jared will be angry and he will scold us for making you shed tears. That devil might be watching us from wherever he is. Celine, I will confess something to you that you haven’t heard. But you have to Promise me that you will never tell that
“What! I can’t believe it” Did those idiots just invade his home? When he asked them to protect Celine, it was from afar not living with her. What the fucking hell is wrong with those dumb heads?“Yes … you have to believe it. They have been so good to me and I thank my husband for having such loyal friends. Can I confess something to you?” Celine said, she felt that she can trust this friend.“Yes …go ahead.” Jared settled well on his chair anxiously waiting for the big announcement. He thought that she only wanted his opinion on something but what the woman said next wasn’t what he was prepared for.“I am pregnant. I discovered it the day my husband was taken. I am happy with the news but also sad that I couldn’t share the great news with him. We have been waiting for it for so long. Anyway, I have faith in him, he will come back to meet his son.”Celine was pregnant?Finally he was going to become a father.How would he become a good father when he was hiding away because of Nolan
Nolan was startled for a moment. This woman used to be the most softhearted human being. How could she look at him that coldly and send him to hell?Celine on realizing how surprised he was, raised an eye brow” Your visit here is already past due. Get the fuck out of my house and go somewhere else.” Even Celine herself couldn’t imagine that she was that harsh to Nolan. For some reasons, this pregnancy was making her fiercer than ever. It might be her defense mechanism.“Celine! You can’t treat me like this. Remember that I saved you back in Dubai and you owe your life to me. Where were they when Jared disappeared and left you alone defenseless and vulnerable?” he asked.“Well done, Nolan. Continue with the script” Dean held his chin as he remarked with sarcasm.Celine clapped her hands and glared directly in to his eyes” Bravo…..why do I get the feeling that you are the one who kidnapped Jared. Bring him to me immediately or you won’t like what will happen to you. If my child ever as
“Mom, did you really come to see me? Why are you wasting your time on a lost cause like me? I only know how to cause trouble and now I feel so bad. I prefer that you dedicate your time more on finding Jared. I don’t want to live any more without my Jared, I want him back, Dad. Please listen to me for the love of God.”“Yes…….we understand your pain, Danna. We are doing everything possible to find him. In fact we have some very good news and we are following up on a lead. I am confident that our precious Jared is still alive” Old Mr Walker said in order to calm her down but Danna was not an idiot.“I might be hopeless but don’t take me for a fool. I no longer want any lies between us, Dad. You should call a spade a spade instead of giving me false hope. “Mommy, at least let me take you to my Dad. He might be able to help you “ Enzo suggested and Danna laughed” do you think that he will still accept me after finding out that I lied to him about you? Enzo you were supposed to be the
“Enough…….I don’t care, Oscar. Celine doesn’t give a damn about the looks. I know she won’t mind my scars but I desperately need to see her like the air that I breathe and the food that I eat. Please would you make the arrangements?” he wasn’t used to asking for permissions but lately, he found himself in a very complicated situation.Oscar was regarding him patiently. There is a mystery somewhere and Jared wasn’t willing to tell him. What could that be? He has been behaving well ever since he saved him. What has made him change all of a sudden?Jared lost his patience and banged the table with his knuckles. It was then that Oscar realized that there was something serious going on.“On this occasion, I am afraid that I am not going to allow you to leave. It is still not safe for you” he said emotionlessly.“Oscar, are you for real. You have a grandchild on the way and you won’t allow me to go and take care of Celine? She needs me and I am done playing a good boy. To hell with you a
Great …..Just great ……why did Celine care about Danna after the number of times she insulted her. This woman …..What is wrong with her? But at least I now have her location, I can now go and see her” he thought and then comforted himself.He planned on going home after wards to surprise Celine. The mere thought of holding her and smelling her scent was already making him excited. Then his expression changed when he remembered that his two best friends where living in his house. He sure was going to love sending them to hell.“I admire your loyalty ““Yes…she was mean to me in the beginning but I have learned that it wasn’t her wish. She is a good woman who was only going through a hard phase in her life. Sometimes, it isn’t worth it to hold too much grudges, it is never good for the soul”What the fucking hell was going on with everybody? Why was every one telling him that Danna was a good woman? Have they all smoked something? There must be something else missing. Any way whatev
“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
