That day afternoon unexpected guests came to the prison, no one was more surprised than Nolan. That was the last thing he could have expected from his parents. But they were in the prison in person just to see him and that was all that mattered. As he walked through the visiting door to where they were both seated, he couldn’t help but sigh with a relief. Finally they have forgiven him and he was sure that they were going to get him out sooner or later and then he will go deal with Celine. “Hello Daddy, what a surprise! but I am really glad to see you here. It has been a while now and I was starting to wonder if you both meant it when you said you will deny me for the rest of my life. That was too harsh from both of you guys.” He held out his hands and shook his father’s hands giving him a very tight hug, then he turned around to embrace his mother who was waiting for him with a wide open arms. During the few years they didn’t see each other she had grown a bit old but she was still
“You little brat, you are chasing us away? Oh…..I don’t want to leave, I just want to keep looking at your handsome face, baby. Do you know how much I dreamt of seeing you again like this when you were lost? Do you know how much I became so lonely?”“Don’t exaggerate, Alexis dear. You were so happy when you couldn’t have to deal with his troubles, remember. This boy was so rebellious in high school that the teachers didn’t want him to be in their classes. I wonder where he inherited those traits from, because as you can see he is very different from me.”“Darling no matter what, he is still my baby and for that matter I love him so much and It was so hard for me to just stay in the background when I knew that he was getting lost and may never be able to come back to us, but now that he is here with us I can’t be any more happier.”“You two are so unbelievable? How can you just talk about me when I am right here? Has it become that obvious that I am the black sheep of the family? Come
“Oh…. Dad what can I say? I honestly got married and I already know that you are aware of that. We have been all over the news for all the wrong reasons that you can think about. Whatever the case I now owe you an explanation to why I made such a decision and I know that whatever it might be you will be able to understand my point of view.”“Okay, we are listening, just tell us everything you need to so we can understand you better. You know it wasn’t easy for us to accept this provided that you belonged to my Nolan from the very beginning.”“And I understand you very well Mom, first thing you all need to know is that Nolan has a lot of enemies Jared included. So what happened is that my mother was very sick on her death bed and Nolan refused completely to give me the money for her medical bills. I was almost giving up when Jared came up with an idea, he wanted to revenge a beef they had with Nolan in the past and the tool he wanted to use was me. So Jared approached me right when I h
“Your father was so thoughtful, I can never blame him for what he did, I know he was only protecting the best interest of the company and you as his daughter. He must have known what kind of a person my son was for him to come up with such kind of protection.”“Alexis, I know Nolan will not be so stupid to mess up everything that belongs to him. Why don’t we go and give Alma a visit? We really owe her a huge apology for what that stupid son of ours have done to her. How I wish you could have come to us? Alma would have gotten the best treatment ever and we wouldn’t be in this situation, and you my dear would have been spared of all this troubles”Jason sounded so remorseful. Celine couldn’t help but admire him. If Nolan was just a little thoughtful the way his father was, then they would have lived a beautiful life. But it was such a shame that it was never meant to be.“Dad and Mum I appreciate you listening to me with a cool head and not judging me. I know it is very difficult for y
“Don’t get me wrong, I still consider you as my very best friend and family. You had nothing to do with your son’s actions so I can’t hold any grudges against you. The only person I have a problem with was Nolan and maybe I will only forgive him if he comes personally to ask for forgiveness. I remember very well when I handed over Celine to him, I warned him never to hurt her and he just looked at me directly in the eyes and lied to me.”“So you won’t help us bring them back together? ““Even if I wanted to, it might become difficult because Celine is already in love with Jared, she might not have told you that for the fear of hurting your feelings but that is the truth and I don’t want to lie to you. I want things to be clear as possible between us because of the respect we still have for each other.”“But Celine agreed to help us and try to get closer to Nolan, do you mean that she lied to us? What is going on here? Can’t she just forgive and forget?” Alexis became emotional. This w
“Yes, but What about Jared?”“Aren’t you going to Mombasa in case your father accepts you? Just go seek him out and explain things to him that you had to relocate because you didn’t want to deal with Nolan. Just be honest with him to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future, then it will be up to him to return back with you or not.”“The only problem I know with Jared is that he was waiting for the right time to introduce me to his people and I didn’t want to rush him. Just yesterday he called to tell me that his grandmother was very sick and that is the reason why he extended his stay, do you think it would be right to just appear out from nowhere and give him a surprise?”“Then give him some time before you can reach out to him but don’t let it take too long. As much as he needs time, men are sometimes unpredictable he can see it in a different way. He can decide to think that you didn’t want to see him and that you have another love interest. As per the issue of the introd
Patrick heard the panic clearly in her voice. He was quite an observant person and he knew that there had to be something pushing Celine to talk to him. But he didn’t care as long as she agrees to give him a chance.“Baby, tell me the truth, who has scared you like that? It is not that I don’t want you to come home again, but it is rather suspicious when you call me out of the blue and desperately agree to meet your people. I want you to come home so much, but if you have a problem just tell me so that I can deal with whoever is troubling you. I was an absent father in your life and from now on with your permission I will always take care of you as a rightful father should.”“It is along story and I really don’t want to talk about it right now. I hope you don’t mind, I will tell you someday okay. ““Alright I understand, I am a very patient man and whenever you will be ready I will be waiting. So when do you want to come? I want to arrange for your journey here personally and I will
“Oh…..Mommy, I have always followed each and every advice you have given me.”“So I don’t expect you to go and just sit down without working with the hope of depending on his money. His wife and daughter won’t allow you and they will make your life more miserable than it would have been with Nolan.”“I won’t, I promise” Celine said.“My advice is to continue being the woman that you are, capable of working hard and providing for her own needs. I want you to show them that you are not interested in their money because right now I know that is what is in their mind. And if they ever try any nonsense on you make them know that you also have a mother, okay”“I know all that mommy and I wasn’t planning on depending on his money. I know that his wife and daughter wouldn’t like that and it will cause trouble for me. But in any case if I find out that they are not good to me I will rent out my own house and start life from there. Besides I am not worried because Jared will be there with me ho
“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
