“Celine, did he do something to you? Honey, please don’t trust this man ever again. He was never there for Jared and I don’t think that he even cares for him now” Old Mr walker sneered.“I am alright grand pa, but I feel that something strange happened when I was inside the house. I suddenly went in to a deep slumber but when I woke up, I was okay and Isaac was fine beside me” she said.She had a thoughtful look on her face and Oscar felt so guilty. He knew that tricking Celine was a wrong move. But after seeing the priceless expression on Jared’s face, he didn’t mind dealing with her or anyone else. At that moment, Isaac woke up and looked at his mother. Celine adjusted him closer and kissed his cheeks and the baby smiled glad to see her. Suddenly, a scent that she could never forget filled her nostril. Jared had held Isaac while she slept. She could never miss the sweet scent even in her sleep. At first Oscar didn’t understand her unusual behavior. She kept on sniffing on the
Old Mr. Walker’s face creased. He couldn’t believe that he was going through trouble to find him and yet he was enjoying himself. What did he ever deserve to get a grandson like him? He was so heartless to the core. He couldn’t help yelling over the phone.“What! Damn fucking bastard. Why am I here worried about you? Come home right away?” “I will come home soon, I promise. Just don’t kill any one because I assure you that I know every move that you make. What happened to the saying that keep your friends near but your enemies even closer?” Jared said and then cut off the phone conversation. He was actually watching him. Old Mr. Walker tried calling back his line but it was busy. Jared was blocking him intentionally so that he wouldn’t have to tell him his location. What was he supposed to do now? That was all that Jared needed to neutralize the situation. Old Mr. Walker had no choice but to adhere to Jared’s request. He was really desperate to find Jared and he knew that Ja
“What! I can’t believe you guys. It is me Jared. Are you two drunk?” “Yeah…. he is always cold and icy. What is this all about? Do you miss us already and that is why you are throwing a tantrum? Leave us alone.” Ivan added.“For Christ crying out loud, this is an emergency. Come quickly and stop talking nonsense. It is my father dying here. Why can’t you two believe me? You know I have never messed about serious things. ““Your father! No way…. that idiot will never make you shed a tear. Besides, he was just okay when we left. What could have happened for him to be in a critical condition? I know your tricks, Jared. We are not falling for it this time round” Dean commented“If you could have said that Celine’s life was in danger, then I would have trusted you. Don’t bother us again .We are busy” Ivan said and then cut off the phone. All the employees were now assembled outside. They couldn’t understand what was going on. On the outside, Jared showed them that he never cared about
Dean quickly took over the treatment of Oscar while Ivan stayed with Jared. He was restless that he didn’t know what else to do.Once the examination was over, Dean announced that the blow that Oscar had on the head was too strong and it might have caused a bleeding in the brain. He suggested for them to take him to the hospital for a CT scan. “He is not dead! Oh…thank God. I will be a good son from today onwards.” Jared wiped his eyes and for once, he noticed people staring at him. Jared didn’t waste any time, he quickly called the ambulance and Oscar was taken to the hospital. At least he was relieved. After all, Oscar was still alive and for a moment, he thought that he was going to leave him alone.Since he could not go to the hospital as often as he would have liked, he requested for Oscar to be transferred back at home. He was ready to hire the best nurses and doctors in the world to take care of him. Oscar was still in a comma and yet Jared spent every single day and nigh
Oscar looked pale, it wasn’t from the sickness but it was because of the sudden change in Jared’s character. He kind of liked it but knowing his son well, this moment wasn’t going to last long. It pained his heart for Jared to give him a taste of what it would feel like if they were just a normal father and son. The man just didn’t know what he was doing to him. Gosh….he has been dreaming of this for so long.He wished that he could go back to being a little boy so that he could help him learn how to ride a bike the way he did with his own father. He wanted to teach him how to play soccer and so many activities that a father does with his son. Any way, he pushed the worry at the back of his head and asked dumfounded “Did you cook this for me?” “Of course ….you have been through a lot and I feel that today I will have to spoil you.”The man smiled making the atmosphere lively. Before, all that Jared did was piss him off and he had that ugly frown on his face that was scary. Jared di
Before he could close the door, Oscar called him back.” Son, thank you so much for teaching me how to handle a family. You know, I could have easily killed your grandpa but I held back because I knew that he was your family and you wouldn’t have forgiven me. ““That is your business, Oscar. Whether you chose to be a family man or not, it doesn’t concern me.” he said and finally went out.He was back to his old form , just unbearable and arrogant. Jared knew that he was a pig but he didn’t want to get emotionally involved. It will make him weak and Oscar will manipulate him. There was no way a single moment of weakness will make him change.Now more than ever, he had to become deadly and indestructible in order to deal with Nolan. That idiot has been having it easy for far too long.“Celine honey, don’t be sad. It has been 1 month since the incident in Oscar’s house and you can’t keep on blaming yourself” Alma hugged her as she comforted.“Sweetie, Alma is right .Emotional peace is i
“Did I just hear the voice of that disgusting Nolan in my house?” Celine asked as she turned to look at the man standing inside her living room. Didn’t he know that she woke up with the worst temper ever? What was she going to do with the idiot?“Nolan….what are you doing here. I thought I told you never to bother my daughter “Alma glanced at him sternly.Nolan was just chilling out drinking his usual alcohol to pass time. Lately, he had been bored to hell. He hasn’t involved himself in any trouble. He was still keeping a low key. Suddenly, he heard some people talking about the upcoming banquet that was to be held by Oscar Gavin. Immediately, his mood lightened. Even if that man threatened him, he will have to go to this party and see what he had in store for the people.May be, just may be Oscar might decide to cooperate with him. In this world, there were no permanent enemies. He might just turn out to be the alley he had been searching for this long.Now more than ever without J
Celine was proving tough, Nolan has never seen her that daring.“Huh……useless servant. You are not the owner of the house so shut up your big mouth” he snarled and Mason got angry. Mason stood up and grabbed his throat while he growled like a wild animal.” I am going to kill you right this moment. Don’t mess with me.”Celine clapped her hands. She was actually enjoying the show. Big boys fighting in front of her was more than she could have imagined.Alma cleared her voice and the two men looked at her startled” Why are you bothering with this lunatic? Leave him alone, all he know is how to speak rubbish. Nolan, I am warning you that my Jared is coming back soon. You better look for a place to hide before he comes for you .Mason, don’t waste your energy with this piece of shit.”Nolan turned dark immediately. He didn’t feel confident any more. The way Alma spoke meant that she knew something about Jared’s whereabouts. Should he kidnap the stupid woman and force her to talk? He tho
“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
