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 smileThe 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
Celine drove towards the gate,and entered the packing lot of the hospital.She quickly packed and noticed the van packing a distance from her.She stepped out of the car and moved to the entrance of the hospital walking straight to the receptionist.“I have an appointment with Doctor Mark,” she said.“He is in room eight,” the receptionist said,”just go straight down the corridor,the door is by the left ,you can't miss it ma'am.”“Thank you!” Celine said and went over to room eight.When she reached there,she knocked and the doctor told her to come in.“Good afternoon doctor Mark,” she said,”how are you doing today?”“Good afternoon Mrs Wheeler's,”the doctor answered,”I am doing very fine.”She sat down and explained how she had been feeling.The doctor examined her.“How are you feeling now?”the doctor asked her.“I fee
"What?"“Doctor, what did you say?” Celine asked excitedly.“You are pregnant,Mrs Wheeler's.”“You have to be careful with what you eat and you don't need to stress yourself much,it's better you avoid carrying heavy things.”“Thank you doctor,” Celine said.“I will do as you say, I really wasn't expecting this ,and l have not felt any signs of pregnancy.”“Were you pregnant before?" the doctor asked.“Yes, I was about three months pregnant but I had a miscarriage.”“Ok the doctor said,just take a healthy meal and don't stress yourself,”“Ok doctor,” Celine said.“Make sure you don't miss your antenatal also,always come for your regular check up.”“Thank you doctor,I will do as you say.”Celine thanked the doctor and left the office.She walked towards the hospital's door as if she was in a tra
David went to the parking lot of the hospital and packed the car. He came out of the car and went into the hospital and told the receptionist that he wanted to see Doctor Mark.The receptionist showed him to room eight.He knocked and entered.“Good morning Doc,” David addressed him fondly.“Good morning David,” Doctor Mark said, he was an elderly man and had been their family doctor when David's father was alive.“Your wife was just here, but I think she just left, didn't you see her in the parking lot?”“No I didn't see her doctor, she is the reason I am here, I am supposed to take her home.”“Ok that's good then, please take good care of her, the doctor said.“Why doctor? l hope it's nothing serious and she is fine.”“She is alright,” the doctor said,” she will explain when you see her.”“Okay, doc thanks so much for attending to he
I am not suspecting anyone,” David said, "but my wife has an ex-husband who wouldn't let go, despite knowing she is married.”“That is quite an information, Mr Wheeler's,” the police said,” but do you know the name of your wife's ex?”“Yes I do,” David said,” his name is Ray Rawlings.”“Mr Rawlings? 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 door pushed open and a man came in followed by Ray,the man was carrying a tray of food.He dropped it in front of the side stool by the bed,and went outside.“Get up Celine and eat!”Ray said,”I hope you slept well, I left you to sleep because I know the journey here was exhausting.”“I slept also,” he said , smiling at her.Celine just kept quiet looking at him.“Why do you look at me with those sad eyes,” David said,”please don't do that,you know how much I care about you.”“I want to go home Ray,”Celine said.”please take me back home.”“What do you mean?This is your home now my dear,” he said,”you are not going back to that man ever again.”‘You belong here,my darling,just feel free and enjoy this place,you are the mistress here and no one will disrespect you here.”“I am a prisoner here Ray, and you know that,”Celine said.“Don't say that baby
Celine went back to the bed and sat down.She was thinking of a strategy to escape,already she has seen that the only people here on this side of the island are the housekeeper and his wife.It shouldn't be so hard to escape from those couples,she said to herself.She waited till everything was quiet,then she opened the door and saw a long corridor which had some doors. She was sure these were bedrooms.She went further up the corridor and by the left she came across a large kitchen.She went towards it and saw the wife of the housekeeper.“Good evening,”Celine greeted her.The woman looked up,she was startled as she saw Celine at the kitchen doorway.“Good evening ma'am,she said,"I hope you had a nice rest.”“Yes I did,thank you,”Celine said.“Do you want to eat anything ma'am,I will get it for you.”“No thanks,” Celine said,"I will just ta
David was in his room trying to make some phone calls when a call came in.It was from Arabella.“How are you David?”she said as he picked the call.“I am fine,Arabella.”:How are you holding on?”“Am good,how did you find out Arabella?”“It's all over the news David,that your wife was kidnapped.”“Just be strong David,I hope you will find her soon.”“Thanks Arabella,” David said and hung up.He went to the bed and laid down,everywhere in the room was smelling of Celines perfume.If he had known that Ray might have kidnapped her,he would have hired a bodyguard for her,but Celine herself felt Ray's love and obsession for her will soon go away,so she never took him seriously.What if it wasn't Ray that kidnapped his wife? he thought,there might be a possibility that one of his business rivals could do that.No! He said to h
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
David sat at the restaurant,and was looking at his environment. Arabella hadn't come down yet, and most people around were just tourists and also other people who had come for the seminar.“Good evening David,” Arabella saidShe had dressed so well and she hoped to impress David and she was determined to seduce him.She had put another type of perfume,this time a perfume similar to the one Celine used to wear.David looked towards Arabella and smiled.“Good evening Arabella,hope you had a good rest.”“Yes I did," Arabella said.She sat down slowly and was aware of David gazing at her.“You look beautiful this evening,”David said.“I like your dress,blue is a nice colour for a lady.”“Thank you David,” she said, “I am happy you like it.”The waiter brought wine and David poured some in a glass cup and gave it to Arabella.
