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 fell with a loud thud into the water,she found herself struggling to breath in the water,she used her last strength to swim towards the shore then she stood up and ran for a while towards the village,as she was running,she didn't see a large stone in her front,the only thing she could remember was that she hit the large stone with her feet and tripped on it falling down and hitting her head hard on another stone in front.The only thing she could remember before she lost consciousness was a figure that looked like a woman bending down towards her and asking if she was alright.When she woke up,the only thing she could remember was her name.She woke up feeling so restless,it was as if she had a fever.“Where am I?” she asked herself,as there was no one in the room.The room was a simple room,with only a few pieces of furniture.Suddenly,a woman arrived. She was a big woman but with a friendly smile.
"pregnant? What are you saying doctor,”Celine asked,looking very surprised.“Yes you are pregnant my dear,so it is important you recover your memory,but in the meantime,you have to take care of yourself,till you know who the father of the baby is.”“I am the father of the baby and her husband.”A voice said from the doorway.Celine and the doctor looked towards the doorway to see a man walk into the room.It was Ray,but Celine couldn't recognise him as she had temporarily lost her memory.Ray couldn't believe his luck as he had walked in on Celine and the doctor.Their conversation made him realise that Celine was pregnant and had lost her memory,so he decided to use her temporary condition to his advantage.“Who are you?” Celine asked.“Oh no baby,don't tell me you don't recognise your husband,I have been searching for you for two days now,l nearly went crazy.”“My hou
Celine woke up to a knocking sound at the door the next day.She used the pillow to cover her ears and groaned when the knocking persisted.“Who is it?” She raised her voice loudly.“My lady, sorry to disturb you,”one of the maids said,”The baroness said I should come and check on you and also ask you if you are coming down for breakfast?”“Tell her, I am fine, okay, and I will soon be down in the next ten minutes.”“Okay my lady,”the maid said and Celine could hear her footsteps as she retreated.She looked at the clock on the table,it was reading nine am.“My God,”she said to herself,she didn't know she had slept that long.”She stood up and felt pains in her abdomen that made her sit back quickly on the bed.The pain was so much that she started breathing high and sweating.But after a while,it subsided.She stood up gradually, and w
David thought of what Celine just did as a wife by coming to see him and bringing some food for him.He really felt satisfied in his heart and happy too. A man is always content and happy when he sees that his wife can go to any lengths to please him because she loves him.He wasn't so worried about the investigation the police were conducting,concerning his case because he knew he was innocent and would soon be released as they have nothing on him.He really couldn't believe that Ray was dead,though it was not what he had in mind for Ray to finally leave Celine alone,but destiny and nemesis took their own cause on him.Well he just hopes he will soon be released because he wants to be there when his wife puts to bed and he can see that the day is fast approaching.****Celine got home late because there was too much traffic on the way home. Already, her whole body was sore,because she had
"Sweetheart you are here,”David said,”you shouldn't have come because of your condition,and it's late already.”Celine shook away the feeling of annoyance that was already boiling in her.“I had to see you darling,”Celine said, ignoring Arabella who was trying to put some order in her face by cleaning her eyes with a handkerchief.She went over to her husband and kissed him on the lips between the cell bars.Then,Celine faced Arabella and said,“Arabella what are you doing here?”“I came here to see my boss ofcourse,”she retorted harshly,because she was jealous of how Celine greeted David with a kiss.“He is not your boss anymore, although I am not saying you shouldn't have come to see him,but what is the crying and wailing about? Is it for him to take you back?”“I am crying because since David met you ,it is one problem to the other,and now finally he is in jail, all bec
Celine slept through the day time because she was so exhausted and when she finally woke up,it was already evening.She stood up and went downstairs to look for her mother in law.She saw her in the living room,reading a book.“Mother, good evening,”Celine said.“Good evening my dear,”she replied.“Hope you slept well my dear.”“Yes I did,thanks mother,but you shouldn't have left me to sleep that long?”"I know but I felt you needed it my dear,you had been stressed this morning,so you need to have a good rest.”“Ok mother,”Celine said.“So what would we do about David?”Celine asked.“We just have to continue praying and hope that he is released my dear,thank God that we have a lot of witnesses testifying that it was a case of self defense and that the gun trigger was released mistakenly by Ray himself.”the baroness said.“Yes that's
"Oh my God!”Celine shouted and was crying hysterically.The doctor looked at David,and said.“Please take your wife outside.”David held Celine and tried to console her,taking her outside the door.After some minutes the police came and started investigating immediately.They were told by the security men that there was a fight for the gun between David and Ray and that the gun went off accidentally.The inspector came towards David and said.“Mr wheelers,I am sorry you have to come to the station with us.”“No ,no!”Celine said out loud, “it was not his fault, Ray wanted to kill my husband and ended up killing himself instead,the trigger was pulled by Ray, accidentally.”“But madam,your husband still has to come with us because he was the one fighting with Mr Rawlings before he was killed.”Celine wanted to protest again but David told her to keep calm a
Where could his wife be?” he pondered,"why is everywhere looking deserted?”He went to the room opposite where Celine was sitting before he left and saw some nurses there.“Please did you see my wife?” He asked .“She was sitting here just a while ago and she is pregnant.”“No we didn't because we just came in a few minutes ago,”said one of the nurses,”but let me ask the nurse that was here earlier,maybe she might know something?”The nurse came forward from another room when she was called.“Please nurse Sharon,”the nurse that called her asked, “did you see the pregnant woman that was sitting here?”“Yes I did,she was closing her eyes and I guess she slept a bit till a doctor came to take her for further tests.”“Which doctor was that?” David asked.“I don't know much,but he was wearing a labcoat and also carrying a folder,so I assumed he was taking her for some
The days moved into weeks as the weeks moved into months,it was just about three months after the trail,Celine was very heavy with pregnancy.The doctor had told her she should be expecting twins and David had become the happiest and dotting father on the earth.She wasn't allowed to do any work ,and she was watched over by everyone in the house.David had told her he had changed Arabella, and had gotten a new job for her at a friend's company.He assured Celine that Arabella was doing good,but he didn't tell Celine that Arabella was feeling resentful and was not happy about the change.He brought in a male secretary ,who was very efficient at his work.But regarding Arabella's resentment,he chose to ignore it.At least there was peace in the house and he could have time for his marriage.His wife has been having cramps lately and he was worried about her.This mo
David took everyone to sit at a coffee shop near the court.Celines father also joined them.“I was surprised Ray had to say I forced him to sign the divorce papers when he got divorced from Celine,”Barrister Elliot,Celine's father said.“I was really happy I could pay him off at that time,as he was abusing my daughter and making her life miserable.”“It's okay father,” David said, “Ray knows he has lost the case and that is why he is so desperate looking for who to blame.”“Yes I guess so,”Mr Elliot said,”he has really brought back his old self by kidnapping Celine and doing all sorts of atrocities,l thought he changed for good.”“I really pity him.”“Yes you are right Dad,”Celine said,”I really wished he would maintain the way he changed some months ago, when he inherited his parents legacy. It's a pity he brought back his bad behavior once again,”They drank their coffee and
The following morning,they both woke up to the maid knocking on their door.“Good morning my lord,”she called out as she heard them waking up.“Good morning,”David answered back loudly so she could hear.“The madam said you should start getting ready for the trail at the court.”“Ok tell my mother, we will soon be out.”David watched as Celine stretched.“I didn't know we overslept,” he said.“Yes I guess we did,” Celine said smiling at him.“Good morning my dear husband,”she said.“Good morning my love,” he answered back.“Hope you didn't wake up with any pain.”“No sweetheart,I am perfectly alright,” she replied.“That's good to hear,”David said.“Now go and shower so we could reach the trail on time,” he said.“Okay,” Celine said,as she walked towards the bathroom.As
