The constable immediately opened the gates and David followed him to the office.
When they got there,David's lawyer was there with his father in law and they were both smiling at David.“How are you David?" he said, still smiling as he shook his hand.“I am fine,” David said,and also shook the hand of the second lawyer.“You are out of here today,the charges have been dropped," Celine's father said.“Really!” David said, excitement building all over him.“Yes,” Celine's father answered.“That's good to hear,” David said.“Let's do the formalities,”the lawyer said.David moved towards the inspectors table and they all sat down In front of the inspectors desk.“Baron David Wheeler's,the inspector said,”due to our investigations and also good testimonies from witnesses,we are releasing you from this case and we term it as self defence.”<"Oh my God! Did you hear that mother? David said, excitedly.“Yes I heard the sound of a baby," his mother said, smiling and also feeling excited.David stood up and moved to the door of the delivery room but he couldn't see anything,so he came back to sit close to his mother again.“Relax my son,”the baroness said, patting his hand,”everything will be fine.”“Yes mother,” David said,patting back her hand.After a while another cry of a baby was heard,and after about some minutes,the door of the delivery room opened and the doctor came out.David rushed over to meet him.“Congratulations David,” he said,”you are now a father to two wonderful children.”“Your wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl,and she and the babies are in good health.”“Oh my God, this is the best news I have ever heard,Thank you,thank you doctor,”David said.“You are we
Celine woke up to see that the nurses had brought her babies.“Madam,you will have to feed the babies,” she said.“But why are they crying so loudly? Are they in pain?”Celine asked the nurse as she carried one of the babies from the nurse.“No madam,”the nurse said,”they are perfectly alright, it's just that they are hungry.”“Oh! Celine said,"So what do we do now?” Celine asked the nurse naively.The nurse smiled and said.“You will have to breastfeed them ma'am ,then we will also feed them with the bottle.”“Oh,”Celine said,feeling embarrassed,because she couldn't understand what to do as a mother.The nurse dropped the baby on the bed and helped her clean her nipple's with a wipe,then she put the baby Celine was carrying on her breast.Celine felt a little pain as her baby grabbed the nipples to suck.She smiled as she looked at the baby's head and was very prou
David drove into the driveway of the hospital and Arabella who was at his back followed suit.They both walked down the hallway and towards the reception where they signed the visitors book.As they entered Celine's room,she was seated already and stronger than earlier when she had just given birth.David went over to meet her and kissed her on the lips.“Sweetheart,I see you are strong now, I am happy to see you looking strong after childbirth.Celine smiled and then frowned when she caught a glimpse of Arabella.“Oh Sorry dear,David said,Arabella also came with me to see you and the babies.”“Good evening Celine, congratulations,and I hope you are doing fine.”“I am doing fine,thank you Arabella.”“I just couldn't resist seeing the babies and you of course,as I saw that David was so excited.”“Thank you so much,” Celine said.The
Celine woke up in the middle of the night,she was feeling some abdominal pain and as she turned to the other side,she saw that David was sleeping peacefully on the couch.Seeing the way he was sleeping,she didn't want to disturb him.She sat up and put some pillows on her back.She thought of her children and smiled with happiness.They were her source of joy,her bundle of happiness.“Why are you awake? What's wrong? David asked.Celine was startled,she didn't know David had awakened as she was lost in thought.“Am sorry I woke you sweetheart, “she said,”I was feeling a little pain in my lower abdomen that was why I woke up.”David was alert now and worried.“But how are you feeling now? Should I get the nurses?”“No, I feel it's a normal thing when you give birth,”Celine said.“You have started again,don't forget you are in the hospital n
The following day they woke up feeling strong and healthy,especially Celine.When the doctor came for a checkup Celine had to ask him if she could go home.“Doctor,” Celine asked,”can I go home today?”“Based on your report here,” the doctor said,looking at the document in his hand,”you are fit to be at home but I still want you to wait a bit till in the afternoon okay,”“It is fine, doctor,” David said.”We will wait here a bit till the afternoon.”“Good,”the doctor said,”this is just to observe you more.”He told the nurse to arrange their discharge papers.After the doctors and nurses were out,David went out to get tea for Celine and also some sandwiches.When he came back, she already had her shower and was breastfeeding the babies.David watched her as she put each child to her breast one at a time,he was so fascinated to witness that because he noticed that
When they reached the mansion,they were welcomed by the baroness who was so happy that her grandchildren had arrived.She had made sure that the whole house was decorated by flowers to celebrate the arrival of her grandchildren.As Celine and David stepped out with the children the baroness went forward to greet them.“Ahh,my lovely grandchildren are here,”the baroness said.“Yes mother,they are finally home,”David said.The baroness went towards Celine and hugged her on her shoulders.“You have done well my dear daughter,”she said.Celine was happy her mother in-law addressed her as daughter.“Thank you mother,”she said.“Let us go inside quickly,my grandchildren shouldn't be under the sun for long,” the baroness said.“Yes that is true,” David said and went inside the house and Celine followed suit with the other baby.
The week was running out as Celine continued with the normal routine of feeding her babies.They were growing so well and were also looking very healthy .Her mother in law helped her in the way she could because she doted on her grandchildren,but mostly,the maids were there to help her out.***The days passed quickly and David had gone back to the routine of work again.He was hardly home,except in the evenings. To David,his business had been neglected far too long.Being a CEO, especially in a glass industry or company one should have a clear direction in which to steer their business.David knew he had to be responsible for setting the company's direction,overseeing operations and making critical decisions that can impact the business future,while also representing the company's publicity.Some of these were neglected when he was under police custody during
Truly,with Arabella's help,he would be able to go back up at a faster pace, and that was exactly what he was thinking of before she came in. It was as if she was sent to him,to help solve the situation of the company at present.He thought of how Celine and his mother would feel,hearing that Arabella was back to his company.He thought of the situation and the feelings that Arabella has for him,but his company needs her services now and he would not sacrifice his company for something he thinks he can control as he doesn't have any feelings for Arabella.He stood up from his seat and went over to where Arabella was seated on the sofa.Stretching his hand,he said.”Welcome back to the company, Arabella.”“What!” Arabella exclaimed,smiling and at the same time bewildered.She shook David's outstretched hand.“Do you mean it David?” She asked.
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.
David woke up in the middle of the night,he couldn't understand himself.His head was just spinning as if he drank two cartons of alcoholic wine.”’Why am I feeling so hot in my body?”He thought to himself.He stood up and wanted to wake Celine, but when he saw how deep in sleep she was,he left her to sleep and decided to go downstairs to the kitchen to drink water.He gently tiptoed towards the door,so he wouldn't wake her,then he went down the stairs to the kitchen to take some water inside the fridge.He sat for a while on the chair to regain his strength, then, he took the bottle of water back into the fridge and was about to close the fridge door.Suddenly he felt someone was also in the kitchen,he turned back quickly and looked towards the dim light as he didn't want to put on the full light.“Who is it?" he asked.“It's me,” Arabella said, and came towards the center
"I seem to feel a bit dizzy,”David said, but when he looked towards Arabella again the dizziness seemed to disappear.“I think I am fine once more,”he said.He stood up and asked the waiter to break him a bottle of water,and when the water was brought,he drank all the water in the bottle and sat with Arabella for a while to clear his head.“I think I am feeling much better now," he said.The bottle of water has helped him a bit,he thought.“So what were we saying about the job?” David asked.“Just because the company is better than before doesn't mean that you have to resign.”“I know that David,” Arabella said,”but you are not getting the point.”:Staying with you is my pleasure,but I don't want to spoil your relationship with your wife.”“Leave my wife out of it, how are you spoiling the relationship?”:You know I still care about you and I w
