“Once we are married, we can pretend to be a happy couple and then we can start to win over our son’s heart bit by bit. He doesn’t need people who will want to force things on him. I have been there with him and I wouldn’t want to go back there. So, I am sorry but you have no choice.”Danna’s heart started beating so fast. This secret was buried. she never even dreamed that it will resurface again because she knew that she would never have anything to do with Oscar. Oh….... her life was the most fucked one ever. But what will she do now? Jared was more important and she promised herself that she would do everything possible to win him over. “By your silence, it looks like we have the same thought. Don’t worry, your absent husband has already divorced you under my command and I have a new marriage certificate for the both of us. You are now my wife. Pack up your bags and let us go home” he commanded with a triumphant smile.“You bastard, you will pay for this humiliation one day” Dan
Enzo couldn’t bother himself with the two. “Mommy, come out now. Jared is here to rescue you” Enzo looked anxiously for any sign of his mother, he knew that Jared didn’t care, he just came along because he heard that it was Oscar who took his mother.When Danna appeared with an apron on her body, Enzo’s eyes widened in surprise. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever imagine seeing his mother in this nonsense.” Was she a servant now? Daddy, my mother is not like this. She is the queen of the universe. She likes to wear long nails and red lipstick. Why did you let her cook?” Enzo rushed to hug his mother. His heart ached to see her in that condition.“It is nothing, darling. Actually, I like it and now it is even better that the two of you are here. Come, I have made your favorite. Jared, I heard from Celine once that you loved beef and I have cooked one for you” she smiled as she looked at her son’s cold face.Oh ……. how many times have he yearned to eat his mother ‘s cooking? He w
“Sweetie, I am sorry but I am a changed person with new agendas. Oscar has been the man that I truly loved all these years and I would like to spend the rest of my life with him. I hope that the both of you will understand me.”“Okay, let us see how long this facade will last. Just remember that I gave you a chance, mother. To finally be with me but as always you have chosen others over me. “Sadness crept on his heart . It seems that he will never be good enough for Danna. “What the hell was I even expecting? Where is the Danna whom I heard was almost dying when I went missing? Was it you pretending again?” Jared sneered and then stormed out of the house. He had a bad feeling that the two were conspiring to mess with him.“I will leave too, Mommy. I don’t want my brother to be angry with me like before. He has been good to me and I love the feeling” Enzo too followed Jared and they both disappeared the same way they came.At that moment, Danna’s face changed and she became murderou
Danna rolled her eyes disgustedly. Old Mr. Gavin didn’t fail to see their interactions.“Are you two done talking? I have given you one month. If my grandchildren fail to come here to live with me. I will kill the both of you and burry you on the front yard. Then I will plant two useless trees on your grave. How about that?”Danna just stared at the man for a while and then she started to wonder who between her father and this man was crazier. How could he say something like that? she has done worst to her family and yet there wasn’t any single day that her parents told her on her face that they would kill her.What kind of a life was this? It was getting from bad to worse.“Would you really kill me, Daddy?” Oscar was startled beyond words.“Try me……..I am so pissed off. What is the need of having grandkids and great grand kid when I can’t have them here with me? what is the need of having them when they hate my guts and you my son is not doing enough?”At this state, they won’t resol
“Oh……not with this again, Enzo. I can never deny you the right to be yourself and be with your family. I have my own insecurities and besides, I have a son and a wife to go back to. I really don’t mind, just go back there and get pampered with our mother.”It was then that Enzo remembered something. He has not been to Jared’s house to see his little nephew. All of a sudden, his face brightened with charm.” I am going with you to see Isaac. Yes, that is what I need right now.”Why was it that everyone liked Isaac? Jared thought.When they reached the house, Celine was playing with Isaac after giving him his bottle. He has gotten big and he looked a little chubby. “Hey ……sister-in-law” Enzo greeted as soon as he came in to the house. Celine hugged him and he kissed her slightly on the cheeks. Enzo wasn’t such a bad man and she was sure that with a little amount of love and care, he will become a better person.Celine loved a big family and there was more than enough room for Enzo.“Enz
“Jared, I told you before that I don’t want my kid to be spoiled. All I need from you is to be there for him. Show him how to be loved. Give him everything that you missed in life because material things sometimes can lie. You can have everything that you ask for but can lack one very crucial thing, family and love.”“Fine…...I won’t buy him any presents but I will never let any harm to come to him. In fact from today onwards, I am going to make peace with my enemies. I won’t offend anyone and I won’t provoke my enemies. ““Alright…..but can he have two fathers? Jared please don’t deny me this request. I have grown and I am responsible nowadays. I really need something real in my life. I need someone to love me for who I am and oversee my flaws.” Enzo begged.“No….if you become his second father , who will be his uncle? Just don’t make too much of a fuss here. Always be a good uncle and make sure that you protect him with your life. Enzo, I never thought about us being this close but
“Hey…….all you think about is dirty things .Can you at least think about something else?” Celine sneaked out of his strong hold.Jared smirked devilishly. Oh…. how he missed those old good days when they would tease each other like little teenagers and play at the same time. If that was what was on her mind then he got her covered.“You are playing hard to get, right? I have all the day, sweetie because I know that I will get my fat reward afterwards. So don’t you worry.”Celine felt that her mood has dropped. It was as if he chose not to listen to her and it was annoying.“What! Aren’t you understanding what I am telling you? Let us go out and do something fun. Let us go and eat something nice or may be go sightseeing for the remaining hours of the day. Jared, those are the little things that I wish to build my memories with. I want to experience good things that life can offer us for free because I don’t know when next you are going to disappear from me again” she said with tears s
The waiter took their orders and went out of their way. They were busy chatting when Lexi and Dean came by. She had been informed that the couple had stepped out for lunch so she in turn called Dean and requested him to take her out to the same restaurant.Lexi knew that Dean wouldn’t refuse. That man was still heels over heads with him and she could manipulate him the way that she desired.“Jared…..”Dean called in surprise .““Baby cousin, you are here too?” Dean joked with a smile as he went to kiss Celine on the cheeks. From the back of her eyes, Celine realized that this woman by Dean’s side didn’t like her very much. The way that she looked at her brought shivers on her body. She couldn’t help but feel that she was up to no good.Celine smiled and then accepted his kiss. “Dean, do you now have a girlfriend? I thought you swore that you would never settle down? What the hell did she do to you?” Celine inquired.Dean blushed and then pinched Celine’s cheeks” Celine, her name is L
“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
