Celine felt destroyed after what she had gone through in her first marriage. Her ex-husband abused her and did a lot of despicable things to her, and now her father's law firm was on the verge of collapse. The only solution her father could do was to marry her off to a proud and arrogant billionaire baron, David Wheelers who only agreed to help Celine’s father invest in his law firm as Celine's father was also their family lawyer, but he didn't do it for free, he wanted Celine in return as a wife so he could inherit his father's legacy by producing an heir as stapled in the will. Celine found herself drawn to her arrogant and cold husband despite the trauma of her first marriage. “What would happen when her past is linked with her present?” “Would she be able to overcome her trauma from the past and move on, despite her ex-husband trying to have her back?” “Or would she be able to break the ice-cold baron? showing him that love truly exists".
View MoreThe next day, Celine woke up and saw that David was still sleeping.She got up slowly so that she would not wake him.As she stood up she started feeling nauseous and she rushed to the bathroom. After she had vomited a bit she felt a little better.As she showered, she thought back on what she had eaten at the auction.But the food was very nice, what would have made her throw up that way? She thought.She came out of the shower to the room, heading for the wardrobe.“Well maybe the food didn't go well with my system,” she said aloud to herself.And who is talking to herself this morning? Is it something I need to worry about? What didn't go well with your system?” David asked.Nothing Celine said, you don't need to worry dear.”“Are you going to the office today?”Celine asked.No, I gave myself a little break today,” he said.“I want t
Before it was twelve noon,David had already left the house for the auction,and her parcel had come. It was wrapped in a golden paper but David told her not to open it,till he had left.When he left,she opened it and the beauty of the gift made her gasp with admiration“This is beautiful,”she thought to herself.It was a silk light green material and when she wore it,it fitted her perfectly as if the dress was made for her.It also brought out the green colour in her eyes and brightened her eyes.She went downstairs and saw the baroness in the sitting room.“Wow!”this is beautiful,” she said,admiring her green silk dress that showed her curves,making her look very attractive.“Thank you mother,” she said,”all thanks to David who has a good eye for beautiful dresses.”“Yes!”the baroness said, “my son really has good taste.”“Yes mother,” Celine smile
"Are you asking me about coming tomorrow or on the day of the auction?” David asked.“No, I am asking to come on the day of the auction,”Celine answered.“Of course,you can come,” David said.“Thanks,” Celine said.They ate the rest of their dinner in silence.The next day David went early as usual to the office and Celine did some cooking in the house first before she went to the restaurant.When she came back home later in the evening,David was not home yet.She decided to cook him some dinner because she remembered he said he would be late.After she had prepared dinner she went to take a shower because by that time it was already late.She was in the bathroom when she noticed someone came into the bathroom.“Who is it?” she asked from the bathroom.No one answered her. She didn't hear anything again till after some f
What type of question is that Celine?” He said glaring at her,”what has Arabella got to do with this?”"Look, I am warning you about Ray and you are trying to compare these with the working relationship I have with Arabella,are we still on Arabella's matter?”Celine knew she had to keep calm about Arabella’s issue,but the way he was getting agitated about Arabella was making her annoyed too.Why does he always protect his relationship with Arabella?Does that mean he can be on speaking terms with Arabella and she cannot do that with Ray.He cannot just tell her to stop talking with Ray,even if Ray tried to pass his limit with her sometimes,she would still know how to handle him ,she thought to herself.“Ok David,let us leave it this way,”Celine said,”leave Ray to me,so that gradually I will make him lack interest in me and have other relationships,because I feel if you force him by telling him to stay away from me it might infuriate h
David entered the room with force and pounced on Ray,he held him on the collar and gave him a blow on the jaw.Ray was taken unawares and fell on the office desk.David shouted.“Don't you dare touch my wife again!This is the last time I will see you near my wife,”he said.Celine was so confused about what was happening that she just stood there watching David as he shouted on top of his lungs.David was really furious,she hasn't seen him so angry like that before she thought to herself.Ray held his jaw and tried to defend himself.“Why would I leave her alone David?she was my wife before she became yours.”The manager of the restaurant rushed into the room with some other men who were part of the security. They grabbed Ray and tried to shove him out,but he stood his ground and told them he knew his way out.“Go away Ray before I do something
"What?” Celine said, looking at him with astonishment.“Why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?”“I have my suspicions,” he said.“What happened between you and Arabella that day? were you arguing?”“Yes we were, and it was all about her closeness with David.” Celine said.“You see and since you said you felt an impact, as if someone pushed you,it was definitely her because there was no one there at that time.” “ Yes I knew someone pushed me that day,but I just can't say who because I was closing my eyes then.”‘So as David asked her what happened after the whole episode,I saw that she was nervous.”Celine said.“But since no one saw her in the act,she got away with it.”Celine said furrowing her brows.“That was why I ended my relationship with her,”Ray said.“I found out there was nothing she wouldn't do to have David back and that they were sweetheart's at
The following morning Celine woke up to see that David had gone.“Where could he have gone so early?" she thought to herself.Yesterday,she waited for him to come back to the room not knowing what went wrong as he left angrily but she was exhausted after dinner and went to sleep.David did not talk much during dinner even as Celine was telling the baroness all about their adventure at the resort.He still went back to his study after dinner.She went to the bathroom to see if he was taking a shower,but no one was there.She shrugged her shoulders and went to take a shower.As she came down she saw the baroness at the garden, she was about to have breakfast.“Join me dear,”the baroness said to Celine.“Okay mother,”Celine said.“Good morning mother,I hope you had a good night's rest.“Yes I did,Celine,thank you dear.”“I notice
Celine was shocked and confused after she saw the writing at the back of the picture.What does all this mean?Were they soulmates before?But David had assured her, he doesn't have anything to do with Arabella!Or was there another story to their relationship which they are keeping secret?Celine decided that she would investigate the matter herself, she wouldn't tell David about it again as he might be upset that she was doubting him.She gently placed the picture back and kept the luggage on top of the wardrobe.“Ok it's your turn to shower,” David said as he entered the room from the bathroom, cleaning his hair with the towel.She went over to him and collected the towel, trying to be on her toes as she cleaned his hair.David stood there looking at her, he said huskily.“Doing this wifely duty is good, but right now you are arousing me, Celine.”
In the morning, Celine and David came out of the resort with their luggage to board a taxi to the airport.“Please can I take a ride with you guys,” Arabella said.David and Celine looked at her as she came over to their side, and was struggling with her luggage.“Where is Ray?”David asked.“I don't know!” Arabella said, frowning her face.“What happened Arabella?” David asked her in a calm voice.“Ok I know you will keep on asking me David till I tell you,” she said. “Yes I will,” he said.“We had a fallout and I don't want to talk about it now,” Arabella said.“Ok!”David said,” We will talk about that later.”He opened the taxi and ushered both women inside then he put the luggage and sat by the driver's side.Celine took a glance at Arabella and wondered what had transpired between her and Ray for her to leave without him.
Tears gushed out of her eyes filling her eyes, but she made no sound, as the tears cascaded down her cheeks, this was her silent cries, displaying her shattered soul.Knock, knock! Knock!Someone was at the door, she turned her face quickly to the mirror that was in front of her and cleaned her eyes, dashing her face with some powder in her makeup kit.Who is it? She answered with a shaky voice that was still muffled with tears.It was her father, he pushed the door with a tray in his hand and used his leg to close back the door.“My princess! He said with great affection, “I saw the maid bringing the coffee over to you, so l offered to help”.“How are you holding on my dear”, he probed, seeing that she had been crying again, no matter how she tried to cover it up.“I am fine Dad, but Dad, is there no other way to save your law firm, than for me to be the sacrificial lamb?”.“Oh my ...
