David was so engrossed with the file when Arabella came in.
“David you should see this”,she said.‘See what?He barked at her.“The news”, she said.He glanced at the television which was on.So what do l have to do with the news he said dismissively,then something caught his eye.“My God!He exclaimed loudly.On the ground with other people was his wife,the news was all about some robbers hijacking the shopping mall close to his company.He stood up apprehensively.“He thought she had gone home”,he thought silently“Damn!He spat out again.How can his wife be in the custody of these hoodlums,he thought she had gone home.“What is she doing there?”He thought to himself,pacing up and down in the office and thinking of what to do.He couldn't believe that his wife who just left here a few minutes ago was now in the custody of hoodlums.He picked up his pWhat happened to her?, the baroness asked, worried as she saw David carrying Celine inside the mansion.“She's fine ,I can assure you of that mother”.David said.“All thanks to God”,the baroness said,making a prayer sign.“I was so worried when the maids told me there was a robbery and she was in the mall”.“I tried calling you but couldn't reach you”.Don't worry mother,I will be fine “,Celine reassured the baroness seeing her worried look.“It's just a little sprain,I will be alright in a few days”.“Very well,the baroness said.it's good that you are safe”.“Thank you mother”, Celine said,as David carried her up the stairs.He put her down gently on the bed.“I will call the doctor to see your sprain”,he said“No need for a doctor,she spat out angrily”,still upset by his behavior.David looked at her,seeing the anger in her eyes.“I am sorry”,he said
"I brought her here”, David said as he came down the stairs.“ She came to see Celine”.“Oh I see”, the baroness said with raised brows.“Then you can join us for dinner Arabella”.“Thank you, ma'am,”, Arabella said, smiling sheepishly. as she went to the dinner table to pull a chair for herself. Not minding that everyone knew she had wanted to stay for dinner.“David come and sit with me”, Arabella said, already helping him to pull a chair close to her.David looked towards Celine but she ignored him, pretending to look elsewhere.He reluctantly accepted Arabella's invitation seeing her smile of triumph, as Celine sat close to his mother.Immediately, Arabella started talking as the food was served.”David, do you remember how we went for a picnic in our third year at college?”She chuckled as David grinned.“Do you remember
Celine watched as David went out, she winced when he banged the door, feeling confused and nervous to see him so angry.“Does that mean he was defending Arabella, because he loves her?” why would just a little argument get him annoyed to that extent?”She stood up from the bed and went to wash her face in the bathroom.Leaving a grudge to the next day can destroy a marriage; she wouldn't want that to happen, would she?She would go after David soon and apologize to him so they could settle their differences.Using a towel to clean her face, she dashed it also with a little powder and went out to look for David,She checked the guest room but couldn't see him, so she went downstairs and looked around for a while.Just when she wanted to give up and go upstairs to sleep, she heard voices in the courtyard.Curious, she went close to the door
Days turned into weeks and she was mostly in the garden or cooking because she loves to do that as it was her passion.She was baking a cake when David came in.“Good morning”, he said from the kitchen doorway.“Good morning”,she answered,her face flushed from opening the oven to check the progress of the cake .“What are you doing?David asked.“I am baking a cake”, Celine answered,”but why are you back so early?”She asked.“I forgot some important files at home,and I needed to bring them along to the office”.he answered,coming closer to where she was standing .He was looking at her strangely and she felt embarrassed.“What is it?”she asked, raising her brows.He didn't talk but moved closer again to wipe the side of her nose with his hands.She just stood there looking at him and he smiled.“You look cute baking in the kitchen with the flo
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”,
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
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 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
Celine looked at him and noticed a familiarity in his gestures and the way he spoke but she was not totally convinced that she knew him somewhere.“I am sorry,” she said,”I cannot recognise you,have we met before?”“David could not believe his ears. He remembered how he was so excited on his way coming here and how he had asked for descriptions here and there from some of the villagers who knew the cottage.When he finally saw the place he wasn't surprised that he couldn't locate it easily.The cottage was hidden beneath the valley,it was a long drive which was sloppy as if one was going down the hill.He was happy when they told him the master of the house was out but the mistress was around.He would have a chance to talk fully with his wife Celine he thought without Ray breathing down their neck.But what he was hearing from her,gave him a shock .How can she say she didn't
As they reached the cottage Celine came out frowning her face.She just couldn't understand her husband Ray fully. At times when she thought she had finally understood him and had gotten used to his character,he comes up with another behaviour that tends to surprise her.The way he rushed down to the mall to look for her was as if he was trying to hide her from something or someone.And even if she asked him to explain, he would just tell her that the island was crowded and she needed to be careful.She marched to her room with rage and banged the door after her.She didn't know that Ray was following her behind her back,until he entered the room with the same force she had used to bang the door.“What is it again Celine?” he asked,”don't I have the right to bring you back from the mall?”“Yes you do have the right but the way you did it,made me feel like a child who cannot fend for herself.
David watched as the car sped up; he knew he couldn't follow them as his car was parked at the parking lot of the market.He knew he would not be able to catch up with them,so he went back into the shopping mall instead.He didn't know if Celine had seen him,but he was hiding to gaze at her at first before Ray came over to pick her up.Ray! Now David knew how deceiving and how cunning Ray could be.It was really not a surprise to see him close to Celine because he had been suspecting him from the beginning,the only thing was that he had no proof then but now he has a valid proof.Celine was his proof he thought..But he was wondering why she didn't escape all these months as he noticed that she was with Ray.He thought of how Ray had pulled her along with him,showing indifference to the people around him,even Celine had gone with him without any protest.Is something wron
Celine was just about to pay for the goods she had purchased when she noticed Ray came into the mall,looking outraged. She was scared by the way he came into the mall looking as if he wanted to beat her.“Ray,what is it? What are you doing here?”she asked,feeling scared by the look he gave her.“Who gave you permission to go out by this time?”he blurted.“I … I don't know what you mean?”she said stammering.“I thought you told me that I can follow Julia to the market whenever she wants to go.”“Yes I did but you didn't ask me for permission first before you came here,I would have known if it's the right time or not to step out.”“What do you mean by that Ray?” Celine asked.“Anyway give me five minutes to pay for what I purchased then we can go.”“Hurry Celine, five minute's you said,l am waiting and my patience is running out.”Celine went over
At the seminar a lot of things were taught about the glass industry.It was one of the best seminars David had ever attended.The teachings were detailed and understanding.After the seminar they went to the market to do their shopping.They were going back the following day and their bags were already packed.David went with Arabella to some of the stalls and bought some few souvenir's that his mum might like.The market was so crowded and the sun was so hot that he was wearing sunglasses to protect his eyes.He looked towards a stall where women's shawls were displayed and suddenly he saw her.A familiar figure that he knows so well, the woman was gesturing to another woman who was blond about the same height as her.David was a bit far from them,but he could recognise some of the body movement the woman made.“Celine?He muttered under his br
David could not believe what he was about to do, maybe not being with a woman for long was affecting him.But that was not an excuse,he was supposed to have some self control and be able to resist a woman.Although, this was Arabella and he was used to her,but he noticed the woman was doing all she can to seduce him in every way she could come up with.Being in his house was also making it much worse.Arabella has already assumed the responsibilities of a wife in his home.She was already in charge of the kitchen maid she tells them,what to cook and what not to cook,She takes care of his mother's drugs and makes sure his mother takes her medicine on time.She also takes care of the office affairs and always makes sure the workers are doing their work accordingly.He doesn't know how she does this but he knows she is a strong woman and he was lucky to have her.
Ray looked at her with disbelief written all over his face.“My God Celine, why would you say that?”“Why won't I say that Ray,you are not acting like the father of my child,and it's so hard for me to understand anything now,because I have lost my memory and don't know anything about myself.”“But that is an accusation?”“I am not accusing Ray,I am just stating a fact here based on what I heard you say.”“Celine l care about you and want what is best for you,that's why I said all these things but it seems you have been misunderstanding me Celine.”“I understand that you care about me Ray,but don't always be harsh with me telling me to abort my baby and other things.”“This baby is ours and as a couple,we should be happy together and also try to understand each other.” “I am especially going through a lot here,coupled with my amnesia,I am also pregnant and have to endure the stages
Where are you dear?”Ray shouted as he called her.“In the bathroom,” Celine shouted back.“Just give me a sec and I will be out soon,”she said.She was wondering why Ray was looking for her as she can feel the anxiety in his voice.She finished her shower and took a large towel to wrap herself in,then she came out of the bathroom and saw Ray sprawled on her bed.He looked at her with desire in his eyes and Celine noticed it,but she was nervous,she had tried to feel the attraction between them but she couldn't just feel anything for him.Sometimes she reminded herself that he was her husband and she should try to accommodate him and let him get closer to her but that feeling is still not there.The feeling of belonging to Ray was not there,she mostly felt nervous,when he tried to kiss her or hold her.“Ray you called for me?’’“Yes sweetie,”he was looking at her
David sat at the restaurant,and was looking at his environment. Arabella hadn't come down yet, and most people around were just tourists and also other people who had come for the seminar.“Good evening David,” Arabella saidShe had dressed so well and she hoped to impress David and she was determined to seduce him.She had put another type of perfume,this time a perfume similar to the one Celine used to wear.David looked towards Arabella and smiled.“Good evening Arabella,hope you had a good rest.”“Yes I did," Arabella said.She sat down slowly and was aware of David gazing at her.“You look beautiful this evening,”David said.“I like your dress,blue is a nice colour for a lady.”“Thank you David,” she said, “I am happy you like it.”The waiter brought wine and David poured some in a glass cup and gave it to Arabella.
