“I wanted to do it myself because everyone was looking down on me. But now, I am glad that it is my son who is showcasing this dream. Enzo, just wait. I will help you redeem your life after all, I am the one who destroyed it” she held his hands and then kissed them.“I want to redeem myself Infront of my family and show you that I am capable of changing especially for my two greatest loves, my kids who up to now have never really had a mother.”In fact, Jared has never seen his mother so thrilled in his life. For a moment, he started playing with the thought that they could actually have a normal life together. But the headache has been too much, it was just not that easy. “No mommy. I have learned so much from the experience of my life. I can now tell the difference between being idle and useful. From today onwards, I just want to be like my brother. I want to be powerful and successful. I just hope one day I will match up to him.” “You don’t need to be like me, Enzo. Everyone i
After a few minutes, her mother arrived with the baby. She looked surprised but since she came to Mombasa, she was still trying so hard to adapt to the complicated family issues. The doctor escorted Celine inside Nolan’s room.When he heard the commotion, he woke up immediately. With reddened eyes, he looked up at Celine and his eyes wandered towards Isaac. The kids smiled and he chuckled. “You really brought him to me, Celine. I thought you wouldn’t ““Yes…….I wouldn’t have brought him to my crazy and stupid ex-husband .Were you trying to kill yourself? Anyway, it was Jared who requested me to take him to you. Why did you want to see him?” Celine asked anxiously. “I wanted to tell him that I love him so much and that I am sorry that I wanted to harm him in the beginning. When he grows up, please tell him only good things about me. I know that I am asking a lot given my actions but I don’t want to disappoint him, I am the only uncle that he has right now.” Nolan said and then a
“Power got in to my head and when I realized it, it was already too late but I am tired. I am fed up of being the rebellious ex-husband, son, uncle and even cousin. I need some closure in my life and I am giving up now. I want to be in peace. I know that I can change and become a better person”Nolan thought that he would never bring himself to say the words but it was better this way. Seeing the love that all this people showed him despite his evilness, he just realized that he was indebted to them including Jared.He has learned so much from the so-called dysfunctional family.That crazy idiot could have chosen to let him die but he saved him. “Yeah……I appreciate you telling me all this but you have to understand that I have a life now. I have a husband who loves me deeply and a family who needs me. I am just here because of the respect that we used to have before all this. So please get well soon, the whole family is here for you. You might be an ass but in the end family is famil
“Thank you, sweetie. I know that he doesn’t want to see me and that is why he is doing all this but I as his mother I don’t mind. I will always want to see him even if he doesn’t” she said and then together with Jason, they walked in to the room followed by the others. It wasn’t allowed but they just wanted to see Nolan.Nolan saw them and he was speechless once again.“Mommy, I thought that you didn’t come to the hospital. I thought that you had abandoned me. You said yourself that you didn’t have a son anymore. How comes you are all here? Is there a chance that another member of the family was also sick and that you just passed by my room?”Alexis took his hands and kissed them tenderly. She looked at her son and she could barely recognize him. He was all bandaged and looking like he had aged.Only the pain of a mother could be seen on her face.” Have I ever told you how much I love you? Mommy is here and the past doesn’t matter. It is you and you alone”” Oh ……Mommy, I didn’t wa
It was nice for Alma to see the little boy with feelings again.“Why not my son” Alma hugged him then stood up and brushed his hair.” If you love someone, it never changes that easily. You might have hurt my darling daughter but I couldn’t hold it against you. Please recover soon, okay.”They chatted for a while and the group left after he requested that he needed to talk to Jared. They still didn’t understand him at all but at least he had shown some humanity. Things were looking good in the futureHis parents reluctantly stepped out and left the room for the two of them. The moment that Jared came in, Nolan asked “Did you get my message?”“Of course, and I smuggled the best whiskey in to the hospital when all of them were distracted. Don’t you know who I am? “Jared asked lazily as he placed the whiskey on the table.“You know, I have never thought of what I will tell you on a day like this. I needed to get drunk first before I could manage to get the right words. Jared, I left you
“Yes…he was just lost like all of us and so we need second chances.”“Alright, I would have liked to chat some more but I feel really tired. Thank you for donating your blood to me. I will never forget this for the rest of my life” his voice was soft as a whisper. Jared was distracted. He failed to notice that something was wrong with Nolan.“It is nothing …okay. Now stop drinking or they will scold me for being a jerk. “Jared said only to realize that Nolan was not breathing. He called his name but he didn’t answer. He shook him but there was no response, his eyes were shut and it seems that he was sleeping peacefully. No, he couldn’t be dead. They were just drinking. He wasn’t even supposed to touch the alcohol but he did it for him. Why did he decide to give up? What will he tell Alexis? This jock Nolan was pulling wasn’t funny at all. They never talked even once and now that they were starting to get things out of their heart. Why did he sleep all of a sudden?He gritted his te
Soon the news reached the other family members, they couldn’t believe that Nolan was just saying his goodbyes a while ago. However, the person who was most affected was Alexis. Her pressure shot up and she had to be admitted in the hospital with immediate effect. She couldn’t handle the news that her only son had passed away especially when he was starting to behave like a true son.Jared hugged Jason and told him to take heart. The day of his burial came in a jiffy. Alexis was also there at the cemetery. She had refused that no one was going to open his casket. She didn’t want to remember his cold and pale face. She wanted to remain with the beautiful memories of his lovely face.“I will love you forever my son. Until we meet again” Alexis said.“Me too my champion. I will miss you” Jason added.“Travel well, Nolan.” Celine threw the soil on the grave as she held Jared’s hands.“Let us meet and continue drinking in hell” Jared muttered and kissed Celine’s hands.“What do you expect
“Hey……listen to me. It is never too late to make up with your mother. Don’t let what happened to me and Nolan happens to you, sweetie. This life is too short to hold grudges especially with someone who gave birth to you. Find it in your heart to forgive her. I have seen how she looks at you. she is genuine. I wish that I could look at my son like that now, but he is gone.” “Aunt, don’t just go there. My mother and I will never meet eye to eye. We are better living far away from each other. The same applies to Oscar Gavin. I just don’t know how to love a father who has been absent all my life”“It will happen if you try. Make a move as soon as now. I will not stop telling you that you have to put an effort, okay. Now I need you to go to Celine and spoil her like never before.” The woman hugged him and kissed his forehead.“I will see you around, aunt. I love……love……love you”While seated on their house, Jared hugged Celine” Let us start all over from where we left. Can you ask Alma t
“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
