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 restaurIn 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
The following morning Celine woke up to see David already preparing for the office.“Where are you going so early?” she asked him.“I have to go to the restaurant because the police are still investigating the matter. Unfortunately, the CCTV camera didn't pick the person that put the poison, the police suspect that part of it was wiped away.”“My God!” Celine said they are criminals.”“Yes, they are," David said; he finished dressing and came forward to where Celine was.“What are you doing?” she said, as he bent down bringing his face towards her. “Kissing my wife goodbye,” he answered as he kissed her on her cheeks.“You haven't brushed your teeth," I would have kissed you on your lips," he said, teasing her. She took a pillow and threw it at him.He avoided the pillow quickly, laughed out loud and went out of the room.At the restaurant, the pol
Celine was smiling in the kitchen as she was about to make coffee for herself.The doctor told her to be on bed rest but her back was sore from lying down for too long on the bed.She decided to go downstairs and make herself a cup of coffee.When she came down, the maids offered to help her, but she refused and told them to do their other chores.She was happy she and David were coming to terms with each other. At least he respects her and has started to be close to her by taking care of her and also teasing her, like this morning when he got a chance to do so.The thought of his laughter when she threw a pillow at him, deepened the smile on her face.She was just about to go and check on the baroness in her room when the phone rang.She picked it up.“Hello,” she said.“Hello ma'am,” it was the head chef.”How are you feeling now? I hope you are better.
ROMANCE AFFAIR AFTER DISASTER!That was the title of the news about David, it also showed a picture of David holding a woman and another one carrying her.It was embarrassing to watch what the reporter was saying in the news. He said the CEO of Wheelers Glass Industries was not concerned about the disaster that happened at one of his restaurants but instead was enjoying himself on a romantic date.Celine looked closely at the woman David was carrying and saw that it was Arabella. Celine started becoming furious, why would David do this to her and embarrass himself in this way?What if they are having an affair? A voice said to her.Even if they are having an affair, they should spare her the humiliation and be discreet, it is not when the whole city sees them! she said to herself.Another thing is, she thought, the reporter and the news agency he works for should also be sued. Thi
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
David drew Celine closer as he danced with her,he could feel the warmth of her embrace and that made him feel happy and content.It's really a joyful thing when you are in love and have a peaceful marriage.All the excitement and happiness was getting to his head he thought and chuckled.“Why are you laughing?” Celine asked when she heard him chuckling.“It is because I am so happy at my present situation now,I feel like a fulfilled man and this is all thanks to you,”He said,smiling as he looked into her face.“It's not me sweetheart,but God that blessed us with this happiness so your thanks should be to God.”Celine said.He pulled her closer and kissed her on her forehead.***Arabella looking at them from a distance and seeing them curdle was so furious that she purposely dropped her glass filled with drink in annoyance.This made many heads stare at her but Celine a
Lights were everywhere in the house and there was music playing softly.The atmosphere was lively with guests already arriving,chatting and mingling with each other as they came.David was already down welcoming the guests that were arriving.He looked up to see his mother coming down and he went over to escort her downstairs.“Where is your wife? The baroness asked above the music.“I think she will soon be downstairs,”David said.He watched as his mother welcomed a few of her friends and sat with them on their table.David welcomed lots of his employees,it seems the turn up was very high,it was as if the entire employees of the company decided to come to work in his house.He smiled,feeling honoured as most of his friends and employees came to the party.David turned to a tap on his shoulders,and turning back he saw Arabella.”Hello Arabella,”David
Celine was anxious,and was checking the door from where she sat in the living room every minute to see if David was back home.When he finally entered the house,he gave her the flowers he bought for her. They were red and white roses,a combination of colours looking so beautiful together.“Thank you sweetheart,” she said.“You are welcome, my love,”he said.“And where is mother?" he said.“I am coming downstairs,”the baroness said,as she came down the stairs.David went towards her, kissed her on the cheeks and walked with her to the living room.“I am so happy today mother,” he said,grinning from head to toe.“What happened son,did you win the lottery?”“Something even better than that to secure our future mother,I got the investors to invest in my business,so now I can say business is blooming.”“Wow I am happy for you my son,”the baroness sa
David drove into the parking lot of the company,he stopped and gave the key to the security to park the car properly.He went up through the lift to his office and called for Arabella through the intercom.When she came in,he demanded the file he had given her.And Arabella, he said,where are the investors?”“They are in the conference room,”Arabella said.Arabella handed the file to David as he cross checked to see if everything was intact.“Ok we are ready to go,where is the other assistant?” David asked.‘“I told him to be there with the investors and two other top employees,”Arabella said.“That's okay,” David said.”Let us go to the conference room.”“Okay David,” Arabella said and led the way.David entered the conference room and shook hands with the two investors that came.“I am happy you are giving my company a chance,an
