“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
Celine cleared her voice and began to talk.“Hello all, I think that you have all been briefed on the purpose of this meeting right now. It is unfortunate that I have to leave so soon, but I must say that I have enjoyed working with all of you. It must have not been pleasant in the first days but I recognize that all of you began to appreciate my input in this company. However, it is so sad but I have to leave for personal reasons that I can’t say here in front of all of you. However, I want you to accord all the support you have been able to give me to the person who will be replacing me.”“But why are you leaving? Don’t you like working here with us?” One of the workers asked.“Please stay, we have been used to you and we feel so sad that you will be no longer here” the workers mumbled as a group“You know we have become fond of you Madam President. But don’t worry we will always have very good memories for you. During this short time our working conditions have improved remarkably
“Alright if you accept our terms and conditions please come to the company premises as soon as possible so that you can see the human resources for the next stage of the recruitment. I would like to remind you that it is an urgent position so you need to hurry up as soon as you can.”This was exactly what she needed to distract her mind from that useless Alex who betrayed and hurt her without remorse at all. It has been long but she couldn’t get him out of her system.Finally God has answered her prayers, not only that she has got a good opportunity but she was going to work at the biggest company she had always dreamed of. The only problem was that she was going to leave her best friend behind.As for her clothing store she can close it or may be employ someone to take care of it until she decided to come back home.Oh ….Celine, I am so sorry I have to leave but I know you will understand me because nevertheless we would have wanted the best for each other. It is going to be hard to
“Then what is the problem?”“There is no problem at all, what I am about to tell you is very difficult for me and I completely have no idea of how to start to open mouth. I just imagine that only one single word will make me lose you forever and you know I don’t want that. You are a very important person in my life and I will die of sadness if you are not around me.”“Why do I feel that this is a goodbye from my dearest friend? Where the hell is she going to? And the funniest thing is that I thought that I was the one with the bad news but it seemed that we are both destined to part from each other.“Are you trying to bid me farewell indirectly? Celine, just be open and stop beating around the bush. I am an adult and by now I am capable of handling just anything that has been thrown against be. I know I wasn’t strong enough to deal with my break up with Alex but for you I will try my best even if it tears my world apart.”“I am leaving Lina, I can’t deal with Nolan, recently his paren
Lina was stunned, she couldn’t believe that they were both planning to relocate to the same town. However she couldn’t any happier.“I said in the beginning that this is a coincidence Celine, can you believe that I am also going to Mombasa. The people I told you I had applied a job with just called to let me know that I have been selected and they want me urgently, and I have already agreed. So it seems that after all fate is still placing us at the same place.“You are so silly Lina Blake, why didn’t you tell me in the beginning? This is very good news for both of us, I didn’t even see this coming and you just had to keep quiet. You don’t know how I have been sad imagining how I would leave you alone behind. That wasn’t fair at all, any way when are you leaving?“In two days’ time, I still have issues to take care of and then I want to make sure that I have found a place to stay in before going .I wouldn’t want to be stranded in a foreign town. I have started sourcing for real estate
“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
