“I support you on this account, Danna. I think that we make a pretty crazy couple. Would you join us, Son?” Oscar asked and Enzo laughed.” Of course…I owe it to my sister-in-law. Jared is not marrying any random woman. I will not allow it.”At exactly 2.00PM, the wedding began. All the family members were gathered in the church with curious gazes on their faces. They didn’t know why Jared was marrying another woman when he hasn’t even divorced Celine. But the man was so icy that no one had the nerve to question his intentions.He didn’t talk to anyone. He just wore his dark suit and stood at the altar with the pastor. No one could read his thoughts.On his right side stood Dean and on his left was Ivan, they both wore serious faces and they had to make sure that Jared didn’t back out. The plan must work out or else they weren’t Jared’s loyal friends. For once they have outdone Jared with his smartness and he looked like an empty vessel. He had no clue on what was happening.A short wh
“Off course…….Selena is a coward and she would never try something like this on you. All you need to do is to be calm and follow our steps instead of thinking about death all the time. Accept defeat once in your lifetime.” Dean said.“Fucking go to hell. I am not marrying that ugly and old woman. You guys know me better, I have good taste, not this piece of shit standing in front of me. I will drag her by the hair until she takes me to my son. What the hell did I ever do to her?” Jared was furious.“Maybe you killed her family, what else do you know how to do better than destroying other people’s lives. Now stop shitting around, you are not doing anything of the sort. We have come too far and you cannot spoil things because of your recklessness. Stand still and get married or we will make you.” Ivan straightened his tie as he looked in to his cold eyes.“Fucking assholes.” He cursed under his breath.“Hey don’t curse, you are in God’s house about to do the right thing.”All of a sudde
“Dad…..Did you just kill her father “ Danna asked while glaring at her father’s stern and cold face. She has been preoccupied with her life, she didn’t think about what her father’s actions does to others.“Don’t get involved darling. In this business that we do, there are casualties. If I hadn’t been ruthless, I wouldn’t have built such an empire. I would probably be dead if they didn’t get to me first. In the end it is always the fittest and strongest that survives. Jared will understand me better than anyone of you” Old Mr. Walker said carelessly.“I remember now. She is the daughter of that criminal Romaya. ” Old Mr. Gavin added” That man was too ambitious and we had to eliminate her and take his business in order to show others example. Back then when we used to be the kings in the city, Romaya wanted to overthrow us. So, he colluded with foreign companies who started hostile takeovers of the Gavin and Walker Corporations. We couldn’t allow it. We had to eliminate him and take o
“Aren’t you satisfied with what I gave to you? I started another new company for you. You thought that it was from your uncle but it was actually from me. I am not that heartless to leave a child homeless when I have kids of my own. so don’t you try to act pretty here. You enjoy a huge wealth and drive luxury cars courtesy of me. ” Old Mr. Walker announced to every one’s surprise.“And who do you think, paid for all of your school fees and made sure that you had all the necessary health insurance when you were growing up? Who set you up with a good family who took care of you? ” Old Mr. Gavin added” I did it .”“So, you expect me to thank you after murdering my father? I didn’t ask for all those things, you should have directed them to your lonely son. That is what a good father does instead of providing for the kids that he had made orphans.” Peggy sneered.“No…. my dear but we didn’t touch him at all. Well, we wanted to but he killed himself before we can make our moves. He was such
That voice sounds familiar. Jared thought and at once looked towards the entrance of the church. The person he saw made his eyes wide open with dismay. He had known that something was not making sense somewhere.He rubbed his eyes so that he could see him clearly but he was really the one. He had come back to save him. How could this be possible? What the hell was going on? He had never had any one to look out for him this way and it had to be just him.“Nolan……what are you doing here?” Jared asked and when the other guests heard what he just said, they all stood up and started running for their safety. Nolan was dead and buried. He died and they saw him being laid to rest. Why was he standing in front of them?A high-pitched voice started wailing in the crowd and when Jared looked at his right side, he saw Alexis crying in Jason’s arms. She looked confused at what was happening. That woman cried for her son for months, it must have been devastating for her to see his face again. Peg
“Oh …. brother, you are really alive. I knew it. I have always thought that the circumstances surrounding your death was mysterious. How did you manage to fool me, silly? I was the one who was supposed to be a head of you in everything. I cried on your grave, you know. I even slept there on several occasions.” Jared hugged him as the crowd looked with surprised faces.This time round, the guests came back to their seats. They had seen him and they knew that he was human with blood in his body. What they couldn’t understand was how he resurrected, if that was even possible. “Let me reunite you with your family before I tell you about it with a glass of whiskey, brother. Family is something that the two of us never really had. At least one of us should be happy, right? I have been travelling and it was fun to stop being a criminal. For once in my life, I stopped running away from everybody. I had peace that I had been yearning for and I am never going back to my past life.“Yeah……yeah…
She couldn’t believe that she could say the words to Nolan. If someone would have told her in the past that they would be this close and Jared would be grateful to him for something, she wouldn’t have believed them.“I am alive anyway and your happiness matters to me, okay. Take care of my nephew, I don’t want to hear that something else has happened to him or I will return to my old self and murder everyone in this city. Do you hear me?” he threatened.“I understand ……. Celine said before turning her attention back to Jared. She only saw love and admiration in his eyes, something that he hasn’t done in the period that Isaac was missing.“I am sorry for trying to leave, I thought that it was the best decision for our family but I guess fate had other plans. Would you forgive me?” Her adorable brown eyes pleaded with him. When she looked at him that way, there were no words left to be spoken. Jared would forget all his anger and turn them in to love.He answered by kissing her on the
Her acting prowess appeared at once.“Oscar, please my son doesn’t feel well. please help me take him to the hospital” Oscar came forward right away and found Jared holding a knife ready to attack. “ If you dare do anything stupid , I will rebuke you as my son” Oscar threatened.Jared laughed impatiently looking at his pitiful parents. “And you think that I care about you two fucking idiots. Please go and play parenting with Enzo and leave me alone. Mother, I have been waiting for this opportunity to finish this woman and now here you are spoiling my plans. What is wrong with the both of you?”“No…. you are not doing it because I say so. I am still your father whether I was available or not. “Oscar grabbed him and the two started wrestling on the floor. Jared was too tough. Given his old age, he couldn’t match up to his energy.” I have wanted to beat the hell out of you, Oscar. Who do you think that you are to command me around? I do what I want to do at any time of the day that I f
“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
