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?

    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

    As Ray left ,Celine went to David's table and asked for permission to leave,because she couldn't sit another second watching Arabella and her husband having lunch.David declined,as he wanted to taunt her more.“Have you eaten?”he asked her.“No!”she answered.“Why haven't you eaten? Oh, I forgot you were talking to the powerful Mr Rawlings,” he said with sarcasm.“No, it's nothing like that,”Celine said,defending herself,”I was in the kitchen all day,cooking and baking a cake, I was so busy that I didn't know it was lunch time already.”“Then sit down and eat!”He commanded, raising his brows when she tried to protest.Celine sat down and David ordered some fried rice and chicken for her also.When the food was brought,she ate it silently.but was fully aware of David's look even as he talked with Arabella.Celine was wondering what he was thinking as he kept on gi

    David woke up and saw that Celine was still sleeping,he entered the bathroom,had a shower and dressed up early for work.At the office he was feeling down due to the contract he had lost.What has Ray Rawlings done that he could get this contract? He was sure the investors knew he wouldn't be able to handle the contract on his own.Well it is to their loss,David said,if they don't know his worth and commitment to a project.As for Celine,he was so upset with her yesterday and now he regretted telling her what he said, the insults he hurled at her and the way he pushed her away from him,but what he was worried about is the familiarity between his wife and her ex- husband.Celine had promised  him not to worry, that it was normal for a familiarity to be between two couples who had been together for some time, but he was still very worried.Even if he trusts Celine as his wife and hopes she wouldn't cro

    In front of her on the dancing floor was Arabella and David.They were dancing so close that their bodies looked like they were glued together.To everyone's surprise and to her own humiliation when Arabella caught a glimpse of her standing there,she gave David a kiss on the lips.Celine watched as David was surprised by what Arabella did.Celine,already green with jealousy, wanted to go forward and put that woman in her place,but a hand pulled her back.She turned back to see who pulled her back and saw that it was Ray,with an expression that seems to say,"I told you so!”“Do you think he is worth it,”Ray said.“How could you be with a husband that flirts around with his secretary all the time,are you sure they are not having an affair?”Ray asked,coming closer to Celine.David raised his head and looked towards Celine,seeing that her ex-husband had come closer to her,he was worried he m

The CEO of the Rawlings glass company?” another policeman asked with astonishment.“Yes,” David said.“So why do you think he can't let go?” the police asked.“I don't think, but I know, and I have seen him harass my wife on several occasions telling her to come back to him.”“I have also reported this case severally about the way he harassed my wife to the police but he always bailed himself and got Scott free.”“So his case must be in our station,” the officer said, "I am new here, and I am just studying some cases on my table, so pardon me Mr Wheeler's.”“It's

    The next day, Celine woke up and saw that David was still sleeping.She got up slowly so that she would not wake him.As she stood up she started feeling nauseous and she rushed to the bathroom. After she had vomited a bit she felt a little better.As she showered, she thought back on what she had eaten at the auction.But the food was very nice, what would have made her throw up that way? She thought.She came out of the shower to the room, heading for the wardrobe.“Well maybe the food didn't go well with my system,” she said aloud to herself.And who is talking to herself this morning? Is it something I need to worry about? What didn't go well with your system?” David asked.Nothing Celine said, you don't need to worry dear.”“Are you going to the office today?”Celine asked.No, I gave myself a little break today,” he said.“I want t
