What 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
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
David sat at the office,going through some files.“Good morning David,”Arabella said as she entered the office.“Good morning Arabella,have you heard from the investors,”he asked.“No they haven't called,They said they will call by four pm.”“Okay,”David answered.He was very anxious because this contract means a lot to him and he can't afford to lose it.One thing he was worried about is that he hoped Ray Rawlings would not have a way to bribe them because he had noticed his shrewdness in business.David kept himself busy on his laptop for the meantime.At lunchtime, Arabella came in.“Why don't we go out for lunch David,you have been in the office since this morning,you should take a break.”“Let's go to the restaurant on the other side of the street,” she said,her face bright with excitement.“No!” David said, “I am fine over here,j
The 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
