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 MoreThey had a lovely time with Celine's father,for the rest of the week.Her father, most times doted on his grandchildren all the time he was home,except when he was at work at his law firm.David gave himself a little break at the office and told the new secretary to handle matters over there.The secretary was doing a great job as he was trained by Arabella,so David was not regretting letting Arabella go anymore.The new secretary was capable of handling matters so swiftly and even more.David had also informed his mother that they would be arriving at the weekend,and Celine had also talked to her,letting her know, she and her grandchildren were fine.At the last day of the week,Celine's leg was better,so they decided to go out to the park and have a good time with the children. The maid also went with them.They strolled around for a bit then sat down under a tree.Whil
"What!" David exclaimed.“How ? When did it happen?”“Am sorry, I didn't know she was going to enter the garden and sit there,you see the garden has been unkempt for sometime and the new gardener comes in after a month," Celine's father said.“Anyway we are in the hospital.”David hung up the phone and his heartbeat accelerated. He couldn't believe Celine was in danger,and was fighting for her life in the hospital.He barely grasped the name of the hospital from his father in-law,all he wanted to do at that moment was to be at his wife's side.He stood up shaking and took his car keys and phone on his desk.As he stepped out, the new secretary that took over from Arabella was at the office besides his own,he quickly asked David what was wrong,seeing David's worried expression.David told him to take care of the office and not to worry.As he drove,he was so lucky tha
David was not himself for some time now,after Celine had left the house with the kids,the house was not the same for him anymore.The night before seemed endless,he tossed and turned until he was sure he had worn a hole in the mattress.Sleep refused to relieve him,he wrestled with his thoughts,his feelings for Celine,his love for his children…..But now,he had to make a decision and that was what he was about to do as he sat in his office.He had already sent for Arabella through the intercom,and was waiting for her to come in.“You sent for me David?” Arabella said as she came inside David's office.“Yes I did,”David said,”please sit down Arabella.”As Arabella sat down,David used just a minute to finish up what he was doing on his laptop.“Arabella,”he said as he raised up his head.“I know what I'm about to say might upset you,but you have to look at the brigh
Celine stood by the pool at her father's house.She watched the water in the pool as it was calm.She wished her life was as calm as the water.She remembered when she came to the house the day before and hugged her father,she couldn't prevent the tears from falling as her father consoled her.She watched later as he doted on his grandchildren before they all went inside the house.Her father had already told his housekeeper to prepare a room for Celine and the children.He made sure they cooked her favourite dish and allowed her to relax well and enjoy the food without asking her any questions.She was surprised because this was the third day and he hasn't said anything to her.“My princess,”Celine turned quickly to the sound of her Dad's voice,he was coming towards her as she stood by the side of the pool.“Father, you shouldn't have come down here to look for
"No mother,I will tell him on the way to my Dad's place.”“Ok,I have no business meddling,my dear it's between you and your husband but please try to sort it out on time,so that the children will not be affected.”“Ok mother I will do that,thank you so much,”Celine said.“Ok my dear,”the baroness said.She followed Celine inside the nursery to say goodbye to her grandkids.She bent and kissed each one of them on their cheeks.“My sweethearts,”she said,smiling at each of them,”I will miss you so much,come back soon ok.”“Don't worry mother,we will be back soon ok.”“Ok my dear,” the baroness said to Celine,"I will take you on your word.”Celine went over to the room and picked her suitcase and the one she packed for the kids.She then went back to meet the maid who was already ready with her own suitcase.They went downstairs and th
Looking at Celine,for a while,David saw that she was serious.He knows that the way he feels and relates with Arabella,others don't do the same as they don't understand their relationship.“But why would you say that Celine,I have never given you any reason to doubt me in handling this matter.”“You know I am not having an affair with Arabella,and I told you I will handle the matter.”“I will also make sure Arabella doesn't come to this house anymore.”“That is what you would always say,but after a while you will see her here again.”Celine said.“I don't know why we are still arguing about this woman? Especially after what she did.”“This woman would not stop till she has you in her life David and I can see that you are trying to make things so easy for her,”Celine said.“I am not making things easy for her Celine,I am just trying to handle this situation in a
David was so embarrassed about what had just happened,he can remember Celine vividly as she warned him against Arabella. It seems he was the only one that trusted Arabella blindly and this was the consequence.He entered the room but couldn't find Celine.He went towards the bathroom door and knocked.“Celine,darling, please come out," he said,"I would like us to talk.”“There is nothing to talk about,” Celine said inside the bathroom,she really didn't want to face him now.“Please darling,I know I have really hurt you by what you saw,” David said.“Please just come out ,so we can talk, my dear,”David said.Celine reluctantly came outside and David wanted to hold her,but she avoided him.“Stay away from me! “David, please don't touch me.”“Why Celine? You are my wife and I have a right to touch you.”“Not after you have committed
Everyone in the room was startled. David was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say to his mother. Immediately Arabella burst into tears. “What is wrong?” the Baroness asked again. “Why is Arabella crying?” “It's nothing,’’ Celine said," mother,let us go to the living room.” Before the Baroness could turn as she too knew it was an awkward situation, Arabella composed herself quickly and said. “Ma'am,I am sorry for everything but I and David slept together as we were both drunk.” The Baroness stood there in shock,as she heard what Arabella said. “What do you mean Arabella,that is a shameful act and you are bold to tell me to my face!” The baroness looked at David with eyes which were quite disappointed. “Am sorry ma'am,” Arabella said, “please forgive me ma'am
"My God!” She exclaimed loudly.“What is the meaning of this?”The sight she saw was making her more furious as her face was boiling with rage.On the bed she saw Arabella wrapped in David's arms and it looked as if David was holding her also as she laid in his arms.Arabella was looking as if she just woke up from a deep sleep and David was still sleeping.Celine went towards the bed angrily and held David's arm,trying to wake him and pull him out of the bed.“David,”she called,patting him on the shoulders,so he could wake up.“Why don't you leave him to sleep," Arabella said,”you can see he is exhausted after our…..“Shut up!” Celine shouted,as she stretched her hand towards Arabella and slapped her hard on the face.The sound of the slap could be heard in the dark hallway.Arabella fell back on the bed not expecting the slap Celine gave her.
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 ...
