Celine laid on the bed and thought of the argument that had transpired between herself and Ray.
She guess, Ray is a complicated man and it would be difficult to please him.Celine remembered Julia,the housekeepers wife told her she would go to the markettoday.She needs to do some shopping for herself also.Celine stood up and went to the kitchen to look for Julia.She saw her cutting some vegetables.“Julia,”Celine said.“Yes?”, she answered.“Are you going to the market today?”I knew you told me you would yesterday.”“Yes I will," she said,"do you want me to get anything for you?”“No nothing,it's just that I want to go with you,I have been indoors for a long time. I think the fresh air will do me good.”“Ok,it's not a problem Celine, just stay close to me because the market is crowded and I wouldn't want you to get lost asDavid left the office looking very sad,he had always been like this since he lost Celine.Celine's absence had really left a void in his heart,his days were dragging,everything was so slow and boring for him.If it wasn't for him coming to the office everyday,he would have gone crazy. At least coming here was occupying his days.Arabella had moved into his home,she was there for his mother anyway,taking care of her needs and keeping her company sometimes on the weekend when she was not at work.David saw that his mother had improved in her health and he felt that Arabella staying there was a good idea.Only that the woman wants to come closer and spend time with him but he avoided her because he wasn't looking for company right now, he just wants to be left alone.“David can I take a ride with you?”Arabella said,as she followed David out of the office.“I didn't bring my car today becau
David tried to tidy up some things at the office,before he could travel,he also had to get a nurse for his mother,at least to make sure she takes her drugs regularly.Arabella booked a flight to the island where the seminar would be held and helped David to pack his clothes.Although David wanted to do it himself but the way she was so insistent he had to leave the room so as not to refuse her rudely.At times he felt Arabella was trying so hard to come close to him,but he just couldn't feel anything for her.He really wants her to get someone who could love her and be her partner.But Arabella was adamant in winning him all over.He had promised himself that if he found his wife Celine one day,he would tell Arabella to leave the company, or he would tell some of his friends who also have big businesses to find work for her.He wouldn't just leave her without a job,but make sure she is work
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
"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
