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
"That is different David,” Celine said.David raised his brows.” How is that different?” he asked.“Are you saying I am not supposed to be jealous when I see Ray by your side?”“This was a man you once said he abused you and you think when I see you being close to him, I am happy?”David said, raising his voice.“It's not like that!”Celine said, trying to explain to him.”l have made a lot of police cases against Ray, telling him not to come closer to me again, but each time, the police keep on dismissing the case and I saw that as a complete waste of energy and time so I decided to ignore him instead, but he keeps on coming back and pestering me.”“One thing you should know is that I can never go back to Ray, no matter what he has become now.”“A person's character, once shown to you will never change, he might reduce it but that attitude is still there waiting to come out again.It just needs a littl
At first,Celine ignored her and continued checking on the bikinis displayed on the hangers.The collection of bikinis the attendant showed her were really very lovely.Celine selected a few bikinis and some light cotton dresses,but when she saw that Arabella was persistent,giving her glaring looks from a distance,Celine went over to where she was standing.“Arabella,it is good to see you here,did you come for shopping too?”Celine asked mockingly.Arabella, still glaring at her, said,“I don't need to go shopping,I have a lot of clothes for myself,and if I want more I just tell the shop owner to bring what I need at my home.”“Oh that's great!” Celine said,mocking her, “that's a princess treatment.”Arabella knew Celine was mocking her so she changed the topic.“Why are you shopping this early morning Celine?Are you going on a trip?”she asked.Celine knew she cannot tell her about he
Their plane landed in the Bahamas after three hours.From the airport, they took a taxi to the resort.As they reached the resort, they were greeted by the attendants who helped them with their luggage and also the receptionist.“You are welcome Mr and Mrs wheelers,” she called their names smilingly as she gave them the key to their room.The attendants helped to put the luggage in the room and David gave them a tip.“Thank you, sir,” they both chorused, walking out cheerfully.“So Mrs Wheeler's David addressed her,” what should we do now?”“Should we take a shower before we eat dinner, or take our dinner before shower?”“I prefer we take our dinner before showering David. I am famished, I am so hungry.”“Ok,” David said,” let's go to the restaurant area.”They went to the restaurant area and ordered dinner.After they have eaten Celine said.
"Wakey, wakey!…..David watched Celine with a smile as she stretched beside him.It was the early hours of the morning, and both of them were just too lazy to stand up.“Good morning sweetheart,” she said.“Good morning sweetie," he answered.“So what are our plans for today?” he asked.“I thought you said we would go to the beach,” Celine said.“Yes, that is true, but we should have breakfast before we go to the beach, and also, we will explore some places in the resort before going to the beach,” he said.“Ok that would be fine,” Celine answered,” I will wear a light cotton dress on my bikini.”“Ok, fine he said, I need to shower now.”He stood up and walked down to the bathroom, not caring that he was naked.She smiled and looked at her nakedness too, as she wrapped herself in the sheets.She has never experienced
"Arabella what are you doing here ?”David asked, not liking the awkward situation."Why was she here?" He thought to himself,now that he was trying to bond with Celine. He stole a glance at Celine,she was looking skeptical at Arabella waiting for her answer,as he and Celine removed their sunglasses to have a better view at Arabella.“I came for a vacation with my boyfriend,” Arabella said.“Honestly what a coincidence,I never knew you were coming here David,” she said,but both of them knew she was lying.“That's great Arabella as long as you would mind your boyfriend and have a nice time with him,”he said.“Anyway,I didn't know you have a boyfriend now,where is he?”I can't see him anywhere,David said, looking around.” “I am here,” a familiar voice came forward and Celine breathing hitched as she saw who Arabella's boyfriend was.“Ray! " said with disbelief “why are you h
WELCOME LOVELY COUPLES!!!That was the welcoming decoration fixed at the door of the hall where the party would be held.Celine was wearing a red dress which complimented David's dark suit.Everyone was seated and having a good time; drinks were served in the house, and Celine caught a glimpse of Ray and Arabella on the other side of the hall.David took two juices from a waiter and gave one glass to Celine. She drank it and liked the cool effect on her throat.“Are you all right?” David asked her.“Yes I am fine,” she answered.Ray stood up from where he was and came over to their table, Arabella followed him.“Hello, Celine, Hi, David," he said.“At least since we know each other, we should stay together as other couples do; we are not quarrelling, are we?” He asked.David looked at him sceptically but had no choice but to be polite in a pla
Celine woke up and stretched.David was still sleeping; he had been so tired after the party yesterday, and he wanted to go to sleep immediately, even when she had wanted him to stay for a little while.She enjoyed being here for this vacation. It had brought her and David close and she hoped nothing would separate her from him.She never knew that David had a calm nature and soft heart; she had been scared of him when they got married, and he had not also made it easy for her with his domineering attitude and indifference he showed to her then.She was also thankful to his mother who didn't waste any given opportunity to bring both of them close.And now the part of Arabella…Celine sighed!Arabella was like a leech to David, which he was trying to shake off but still stuck to him.Celine has to understand why he needs her for his company but she still insists he do away with her.
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
Before it was twelve noon,David had already left the house for the auction,and her parcel had come. It was wrapped in a golden paper but David told her not to open it,till he had left.When he left,she opened it and the beauty of the gift made her gasp with admiration“This is beautiful,”she thought to herself.It was a silk light green material and when she wore it,it fitted her perfectly as if the dress was made for her.It also brought out the green colour in her eyes and brightened her eyes.She went downstairs and saw the baroness in the sitting room.“Wow!”this is beautiful,” she said,admiring her green silk dress that showed her curves,making her look very attractive.“Thank you mother,” she said,”all thanks to David who has a good eye for beautiful dresses.”“Yes!”the baroness said, “my son really has good taste.”“Yes mother,” Celine smile
"Are you asking me about coming tomorrow or on the day of the auction?” David asked.“No, I am asking to come on the day of the auction,”Celine answered.“Of course,you can come,” David said.“Thanks,” Celine said.They ate the rest of their dinner in silence.The next day David went early as usual to the office and Celine did some cooking in the house first before she went to the restaurant.When she came back home later in the evening,David was not home yet.She decided to cook him some dinner because she remembered he said he would be late.After she had prepared dinner she went to take a shower because by that time it was already late.She was in the bathroom when she noticed someone came into the bathroom.“Who is it?” she asked from the bathroom.No one answered her. She didn't hear anything again till after some f
What type of question is that Celine?” He said glaring at her,”what has Arabella got to do with this?”"Look, I am warning you about Ray and you are trying to compare these with the working relationship I have with Arabella,are we still on Arabella's matter?”Celine knew she had to keep calm about Arabella’s issue,but the way he was getting agitated about Arabella was making her annoyed too.Why does he always protect his relationship with Arabella?Does that mean he can be on speaking terms with Arabella and she cannot do that with Ray.He cannot just tell her to stop talking with Ray,even if Ray tried to pass his limit with her sometimes,she would still know how to handle him ,she thought to herself.“Ok David,let us leave it this way,”Celine said,”leave Ray to me,so that gradually I will make him lack interest in me and have other relationships,because I feel if you force him by telling him to stay away from me it might infuriate h
David entered the room with force and pounced on Ray,he held him on the collar and gave him a blow on the jaw.Ray was taken unawares and fell on the office desk.David shouted.“Don't you dare touch my wife again!This is the last time I will see you near my wife,”he said.Celine was so confused about what was happening that she just stood there watching David as he shouted on top of his lungs.David was really furious,she hasn't seen him so angry like that before she thought to herself.Ray held his jaw and tried to defend himself.“Why would I leave her alone David?she was my wife before she became yours.”The manager of the restaurant rushed into the room with some other men who were part of the security. They grabbed Ray and tried to shove him out,but he stood his ground and told them he knew his way out.“Go away Ray before I do something
"What?” Celine said, looking at him with astonishment.“Why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?”“I have my suspicions,” he said.“What happened between you and Arabella that day? were you arguing?”“Yes we were, and it was all about her closeness with David.” Celine said.“You see and since you said you felt an impact, as if someone pushed you,it was definitely her because there was no one there at that time.” “ Yes I knew someone pushed me that day,but I just can't say who because I was closing my eyes then.”‘So as David asked her what happened after the whole episode,I saw that she was nervous.”Celine said.“But since no one saw her in the act,she got away with it.”Celine said furrowing her brows.“That was why I ended my relationship with her,”Ray said.“I found out there was nothing she wouldn't do to have David back and that they were sweetheart's at
The following morning Celine woke up to see that David had gone.“Where could he have gone so early?" she thought to herself.Yesterday,she waited for him to come back to the room not knowing what went wrong as he left angrily but she was exhausted after dinner and went to sleep.David did not talk much during dinner even as Celine was telling the baroness all about their adventure at the resort.He still went back to his study after dinner.She went to the bathroom to see if he was taking a shower,but no one was there.She shrugged her shoulders and went to take a shower.As she came down she saw the baroness at the garden, she was about to have breakfast.“Join me dear,”the baroness said to Celine.“Okay mother,”Celine said.“Good morning mother,I hope you had a good night's rest.“Yes I did,Celine,thank you dear.”“I notice
Celine was shocked and confused after she saw the writing at the back of the picture.What does all this mean?Were they soulmates before?But David had assured her, he doesn't have anything to do with Arabella!Or was there another story to their relationship which they are keeping secret?Celine decided that she would investigate the matter herself, she wouldn't tell David about it again as he might be upset that she was doubting him.She gently placed the picture back and kept the luggage on top of the wardrobe.“Ok it's your turn to shower,” David said as he entered the room from the bathroom, cleaning his hair with the towel.She went over to him and collected the towel, trying to be on her toes as she cleaned his hair.David stood there looking at her, he said huskily.“Doing this wifely duty is good, but right now you are arousing me, Celine.”
In the morning, Celine and David came out of the resort with their luggage to board a taxi to the airport.“Please can I take a ride with you guys,” Arabella said.David and Celine looked at her as she came over to their side, and was struggling with her luggage.“Where is Ray?”David asked.“I don't know!” Arabella said, frowning her face.“What happened Arabella?” David asked her in a calm voice.“Ok I know you will keep on asking me David till I tell you,” she said. “Yes I will,” he said.“We had a fallout and I don't want to talk about it now,” Arabella said.“Ok!”David said,” We will talk about that later.”He opened the taxi and ushered both women inside then he put the luggage and sat by the driver's side.Celine took a glance at Arabella and wondered what had transpired between her and Ray for her to leave without him.
