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
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
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.
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
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
