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."Why Celine?” Arabella said, giving Celine an innocent look.“What did I do?”I didn't steal your husband?” nor have I made an attempt to do so,” she said.“Enough of the pretence Arabella!” Celine said,” I know that you are after David, but I see no reason why you should keep on pursuing him when you know that he is a married man.”“And who said I am pursuing your husband, you can see I am with Ray now. So how would you say I still want David.”Arabella blurted out.Celine was silent a bit, then she asked.“Sincerely in your heart, Arabella, are you in love with Ray? Why are you leading him on if you knew you only hooked up with him to get to David.”“I don't need to hook up with Ray to get to David Celine, you should know I want David and I will not deny that, I have wanted him for years since we have known each other, but David doesn't see me in that way as he thinks, he sees me as a sister,” Arabella sa
David and Ray heard the scream, and they rushed quickly upstairs and saw Arabella shouting hysterically.“Celine…..Celine!” she said,Pointing at the rail.‘What happened to Celine!” David said, his heart pounding, as he shook Arabella, trying to make her talk.“She….she fell into the water,” Arabella stuttered.David didn't think twice as he also forgot about his phobia of deep waters.He removed his shoes and his shirt and was about to run and dive into the water when Arabella held him from behind.“No David, you won't go anywhere!” She said,” I am so scared I don't want to lose you too.”David looked across at Ray, “please, Ray, hold Arabella; I have to save Celine,” he said as he was trying to remove himself from Arabella's clutches.Ray came forward and removed Arabella from David but the woman was still hysterical that he had to slap her.
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.
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.”
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
"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
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 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
"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
Days turned into weeks and after two days, they were to do the children's welcoming party.Celine had made a lot of preparations towards it. She had made purchases of some necessary things.She had gotten two outfits each, for the children,bought a pair of shoes and also an outfit for herself.Her mother-in-law and husband told her they have an outfit to wear for the party ,so she concentrated on the menu and drinks for that day.David wanted the party to be done at the hotel,but Celine insisted the party should be done in their home.Celine was in the garden with her mother in-law and the children, discussing the events of the party when David came in.“Welcome sweetheart,” Celine said as he greeted them.“Are you not supposed to be at work now?”the Baroness said.“Yes,” David said, kissing his mum and Celine on the cheek.“But things have gone ba
David shifted to her so that he was seated close to her,he soundlessly and slowly leaned towards her.In his eyes,she saw her own needs.A reflection of desires,showing that she was ready,which she had ignored all this while since she gave birth.Her eyes were steady in his eyes and her pulses scrambled erratically,this always happens to her when David touched her,it was as if she had just crossed the finish line of a long and vigorous race.David touched her face,and cupped it. He was looking at her at the same time as if he wanted to mold the shape of her face in his mind,to remember her always.Her breath caught,then released,the trembling of passion was all over her.Slowly deliberately,he spread his fingers so that his palm slid over her neck,then her jawline and finally her cheekbones.She couldn't prevent a quick gasp as he put his hands on her hair and pulled her head back gent
