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 giCeline was appalled and was too bewildered to do or say anything,she just laid back on the bed and wondered what just transferred between her and David.Why was he so angry like this?” Had Ray told him something or made a remark that made him so angry.She has to thread carefully,as she doesn't want anything that will jeopardize her marriage Celine got up and went downstairs for dinner.“How are you my dear?” the baroness said,already down but she made no mention of the conflict that just happened between Celine and her son.Celine knew everyone heard him including the maids but everyone seemed to mind their business."I am fine mother,don't worry about me and David, we will sort it out among ourselves,” she said.The old woman looked at her with a worried look,”I have not seen my son look that way since his fiance left him. Please, my dear, reassure me you will talk to him to make his
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
Celine got home feeling a bit tired,but she needed to prepare for the party tonight She said to herself.David was already on his way home as he had called earlier to inform her.She was wondering what she would wear when David came in.“You are not prepared yet?”he asked.“No David, I am prepared,I am just checking these two dresses and wondering which of them would be suitable for the party.”“Pick the red one!" he said.“Okay!”Celine said,”I think I prefer it too.”They made a beautiful couple as they walked downstairs to the car,David dressed in a blue suit while Celine was dressed in a red dress that complimented them both.Celine held David's arm as they entered the restaurant,she noticed all eyes on her as David introduced her to most of his employees and business partners whom he had invited.“Your wife is really doing good in this restaur
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
Hello love birds!”They pulled apart immediately as they noticed they were not alone anymore.“Get a room,”Ray said, as he came out to the balcony,Celine knew he must have come outside to look for her. He was staring at them, jealousy written all over his face.David composed himself and still drew Celine to him as if he was showing Ray that she was now his property.“I don't think it is any of your business whether we get a room or not,as it is our restaurant ,we can do as we please,you are the one trespassing,”David said.“I was also invited by one of the investors you invited,so I came to honour his invitation.”“Are you sure you came to honour his invitation or you came here for something else?” David asked with a sneer.“What do you mean?”Ray said as he gazed at Celine.David put Celine at his back as he faced Ray.“Are you sure you a
A nurse quickly came forward and asked.“Sir what is wrong with her,please bring her to the emergency room,follow me sir,”she said.David followed her quickly, still carrying Celine.They entered the emergency ward and he was told to lie her on the bed in one of the rooms. Immediately the doctor came in and told everyone to go outside so that he could examine her.David went outside and sat on the chairs outside the door.He was restless,standing up and sitting down again.He hoped nothing would happen to Celine.“Please David come and sit down ,so you won't get sick yourself,” Arabella said.“Allow the doctors to do their jobs,she would be fine.”“How do you know she would be fine,” David said, raising his voice at Arabella as he was very worried for Celine.“Please don't be upset David,”Arabella said,"just take it easy,I pray she will be fine,jus
"I am worried for you both,”the baroness said,”this happened at your restaurant and there can be consequences,like closing down the restaurant.”“Yes I am worried too,”David said, “but we are innocent,The restaurant has been running for some time now and no history of such incident.l think the police are conducting the investigation from this night.The head chef called me and told me the police came to the restaurant and questioned most of the staffs there.The only thing I am happy about is that no one died as a result of the poison.“That is good to hear David,”Celine said, relieved also that their guests were fine now and that no one died, because if someone had died,she and David would have been in serious trouble.The doctor came in and said,”Mr Wheeler, the police are here to see you.”“Let them come in,”David said.The police came in and asked David some questions. They also asked Celine about the
Arabella nervously brought the phone down as she heard David's voice.“It is nothing,just a family dispute,I was discussing with my mother," she said.“If that was your mother then take it easy with her and talk to her calmly.”David said.“The doctor has discharged Celine,are you coming along?”David asked.“No!”Arabella said,still looking nervous.“Are you alright Arabella?” David asked again,he had never seen her so agitated and nervous like this.She had always been composed when handling matters in the office,but this was different, it was as if she was afraid of something.“I am fine David.” She gave him a smile,”don't worry just take Celine home, I will just take a taxi because I need to go somewhere before I get home.”“Okay, suit yourself," David said and walked back to the hospital room.When Celine saw him frowning as he came into the room,she asked him
"Are you telling me that Celine is pregnant with your child?” David asked.“Yes she is and that is why I have been there for her all this while.”Ray said.“We were together even after the divorce,because we couldn't stay away from each other, and before her accident,she told me she was pregnant with my child.”Celine has been listening to what Ray was saying.She was surprised herself to hear Ray telling David all these revelations,he had never told her anything about all this,and now hearing him say all these was painting her as an adulterous woman in front of David. If really she was married to David and was still having an affair with Ray, whom according to what both of them were arguing about was her ex-husband.“Oh my God!” Celine said, raising her hands to her cheeks.“The way both of you are arguing is as if I am not here and you are telling yourselves the story of my life.”“Ray,I can und
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
