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 when Celine woke up,David had already gone to work.Celine stood up to prepare for work.She checked on her mother in law and had breakfast with her before she left,making sure the old woman took her drugs.At the restaurant,she went straight to her office and made a phone call to David,seeing that his mood was better this morning,she hung up feeling relieved.She really didn't want to be in his bad books.She went to the kitchen and all the staff there were happy to see her.“What is the menu for today?”she asked the head chef.“We have fried rice, chicken,noodles if anyone demands it,and I need to bake a chocolate cake now," the head chef said.“It was an order from one of our customers,who wants to celebrate her son's birthday this evening.”“Okay I will help you with the cake,”turning to the other staff she said.“Let's bring out the
Celine came back from work feeling exhausted ,David was back already as she could see his car on the driveway.She picked up her bag and went inside.She couldn't see anyone in the living room so she went upstairs to her room.She opened the door but still couldn't see David.She was nervous now because of the way he spoke on the phone,she just wants to see him and know what is actually wrong.The bathroom door opened and David stepped out.Good evening sweetheart,she muttered nervously.“Good evening Celine “he answered without looking at her.Celine was surprised at the way he answered her,now that he has started addressing her by her name again.She dropped her bags and went over to him,”sweetheart what is wrong?”She said, holding his arm.He moved away from her touch furrowing his brows.“Why did you lie to me Celine?
Celine reached the packing lot of the restaurant.The restaurant was quite big and very inviting for customers.Celine moved over to the front of the building,andImmediately the front doors opened and a man came out introducing himself as the manager.“Hello ma'am,you are welcome!” He said,”Thank you so much,”she answered.He opened the door of the restaurant and she went inside to be greeted and welcomed by other staff members.“Thank you all,”Celine said, smiling,“it is good to be here and I hope I will get your maximum cooperation.”“Yes ma'am,” they all chorused.She dismissed them and they all went about their duties.The manager took Celine round the restaurant,showing her every area and how they operate and finally took her to her office.”“I would not need an office," Celine chuckled,"my office would be the kitchen.”she said.“
Everyone looked up to see the person talking by the door.“Ah Mr Rawlings”,one of the investors said, “welcome!”“Thank you very much,” Ray came in and shook all the investors then stood in front of David.“Mr wheeler's,”he said,”I don't think we need an introduction, but for formalities sake I think we do.”“It is nice to meet you Mr Wheelers,l am Ray Rawlings.”David had been shocked since the time he recognised his wife's ex husband by the door.Although he hasn't seen him physically but with some of his pictures Celine had shown him,he was able to recognise him instantly.Reluctantly David shook his hands and muttered softly.“Nice to meet you too ,Mr Rawlings.”Both of them stared at each other scrutinizing each other.Looking at the investors Ray said,”l am so sorry for coming late,this was because I was stuck in traffic.”“It's fine
Back in the office the next day,David was on his files,studying it and adding some adjustments.“David!”Arabella said, “l was just on the phone with the investors.They said they would be here by 2 pm”.“I think it is a good time,” David said,”Make sure when they come, lunch is served first, we need to take care of our visitors first”."Yes that is true David,I will order some snacks and juice”. Arabella said“Okay”.David muffled under his breath ,engrossed in the files he was checking once again.Arabella went out to make the arrangements.The phone rang and David picked it up.“Hello sweetie', he said,remembering all that they had shared last night, lifted his spirits.“Have you gone to see the manager at the restaurant?”I told him you are coming to handle things over there and the workers are all expecting you”.“Yes sweetheart”,,Celine answered,her voice s
Celine smiled,as she took the roses from him,her face full of brightness and happiness ,she smelled the sweet scent of the roses and put it on the dressing table.“Thank you David,”she said, raising on her toes to kiss him lightly on the lips.She gasped when he held her waist and pressed his body to hers.“That's not enough,” he said roughly,kissing her deeply to demonstrate how it was done.He released her and they both smiled at each other.“How was work today?” she asked, looking at him as he removed his shirt.“Work is fine but I have to prepare for a presentation by tomorrow”.“It is a contract with Canadian investors,so I am hoping to get it because it will be a great achievement in my business,”he said.Celine could not believe David was telling her about his business comfortably,she looked around her thinking she was dreaming,seeing she was not she asked looking happy
Entering the office David was smiling,he didn't know why his spirits were lifted today,he answered everyone that greeted him,he even paused to talk to one or two employees and everyone saw his changed mode and were talking about it at the office.But this changed mood didn't go well with one person at the office.“Arabella!”David called,using the office intercom,” come over here with the Canadian project”.“Yes David,” she answered.This was an important project for David and he couldn't afford to miss a project like that.The investors are from Canada and they are willing to pay a huge sum of money for this project,losing it will be a bad business for his company but he was confident that he will get it. This was because his company was the best glass industry in the country. They always had good conduct from clients,so he wasn't scared about that.Although there was a particular thing h
Celine was reveling in his kiss, and in the feel of his body against her own.He kissed her over and over again until she was breathless.Pleasure accelerated into her being as he turned her over and laid on top of her,pressing himself against her.As he caressed her neck with his lips,touching the top of his tongue to it to taste her enchanting sweet taste.She reached out and put her fingers in his hair,feeling the thick wavy curls.Seeing her excited and willing,her breathing in pants.He still hesitated,because he knew if they continued this way he would take her.He wanted her to accept him and his caresses willingly,he didn't want her to reject him as she did before,he wanted her to enjoy the passion they have together,but the fear of rejection was pushing him back.Just as he was about to stand up and leave her,Celine was already on fire.She pulled him down to her once a
Celine opened her eyes quickly to the sound of David's voice as she turned.She saw that he had bowed and was stretching his hand towards her.She looked at the baroness who was smiling as she gestured with her eyes for Celine to accept the invitation from her husband.Celine put her hands on David's hands and stood up.David took her to the dance floor amidst the clapping of their guests who were all smiling and cheering them forward.At the dance floor,David put his hands on her waist which made Celine put her hands on his shoulders.He looked at her with a calm expression and pulled her closer.She gasped as her body came in contact with him,he was so close that she could feel every part of his body.“Relax sweetheart”,he whispered huskily.“But how can I,you are holding me so tightly”,she whispered.“You know we have to play the perfect couple”,
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
