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'tTears gushed out of her eyes filling her eyes, but she made no sound, as the tears cascaded down her cheeks, this was her silent cries, displaying her shattered soul.Knock, knock! Knock!Someone was at the door, she turned her face quickly to the mirror that was in front of her and cleaned her eyes, dashing her face with some powder in her makeup kit.Who is it? She answered with a shaky voice that was still muffled with tears.It was her father, he pushed the door with a tray in his hand and used his leg to close back the door.“My princess! He said with great affection, “I saw the maid bringing the coffee over to you, so l offered to help”.“How are you holding on my dear”, he probed, seeing that she had been crying again, no matter how she tried to cover it up.“I am fine Dad, but Dad, is there no other way to save your law firm, than for me to be the sacrificial lamb?”.“Oh my
He has been arrested by the police”, her father said, extending his hand to help her up.“Thankfully we heard your scream and we caught him before he could take you away”.Celine drank the water the maid offered her and sat up.“Do not worry about Ray”, her father reassured her, looking at the anxiety on her face,”l have filed a case against him and he is not to come close to you again”.Thank you, Father, Celine said smiling, thanks for being there for me,”“My beautiful girl, her dad said affectionately,l will always be there for you.’He smiled as he hugged her once more and left the room, uttering something about her being quick to freshen up and come downstairs, for the wedding.“The wedding?” Celine thought still in a daze, with the whole episode that had happened with Ray, Celine had forgotten she was to be married to David Wheelers, a baron and CEO of Wheeler's company. All she knows about David i
"Come my dear”, the baroness beckoned to her as Celine came downstairs and moved towards her.She looked at a big oak table, well decorated and befitting of a palace. She was sure different varieties of food were laid on it by the servants.Celine smiled politely and sat at the seat the baroness pointed.“What would you have?" she said, "or would you wait for your husband?”Oh! There he comes, she announced, smiling at her son.Celine looked up to see David's tall handsome form, he was wearing a green t-shirt that seemed to hug his body and brought out his muscular chest.He went over, kissed his mother's cheek and sat close to Celine.“Mother, how is your health? You are not too tired” he said calmly.“No my dear”, she said.“I had a little rest and am fine now”.“Good to hear that,” he said"I am happy you are fine”.Celine was listening to
"You frightened me!"She said accusingly with a hand on her chest which was beating fast, when she saw it was David.He looked at her with narrowed eyes and strolled into the room.“Am sorry, but you were so busy that I didn't want to disturb you”.“Are you ready for bed?” he drawled.The way he said it casually made a hot flush run over her face and weaken her knees.She looked at him as he removed his shirt and went to the other side of the bed.With a raised eyebrow he asked.“Coming?”“I….l….thought you would sleep on the sofa”, she stammered.By now, her body was emitting different conflicting emotions, it was like a mix of embarrassment and confusion.“Why would l sleep on the sofa? This is my room, and we are married, aren't we?”He chuckled!Hearing the sound made shivers run down her spine.“Come here, Cel
"My dear son!” the baroness stretched her hand and hugged her son as he came to kiss her good morning.“I would like to go to the stables later this morning Mother”, he announced.“That is good son”, she said,” it's a long time you ride your horse”.“Celine!, the baroness addressed her,” Do you know how to ride a horse?“Yes" She answered,” but it's been a while so I would need some help with the horse”.“Oh, you don't need to worry”, the baroness said,” David is an excellent horseman”, she proclaimed proudly.Celine looked at David and was tense as he looked at her with an indifferent expression.“Mother!" he turned to his mother once again,”l cannot be teaching someone how to ride, you know I just wanted some air”, he said gruffly. “Yes, I know,” the baroness said,” Please take Celine along, the fresh air would do her good too".“Okay Mother, if you insist”, he said reluctantly.Looking at C
"These mountains are mostly found in Albania” he said with enthusiasm,” you can see such a view from here because we are close to them”.Celine looked towards the mountains which were covered with vegetation characterized by rocky terrain and deep gorges. She felt it provided an adventurous environment for exploration.She took a deep breath from the cool breeze and sighed with excitement seeing that David was excited too.It's good you like it, he said dismissively with a frown.“What had she done again?” she wondered,“Does he always change from one mood to the other?”After riding for a while, she stole a glance at him, noticing that he was quiet and distant.She pushed her horse closer and decided to tell him about her ex-husband Ray, to clear the air on that, she thought.“Ray, that was the name of my ex-husband, she explained, was a good man with ambition when we got married, but I
She woke up in the morning to see that David was up already.Coming back the day before, after riding the horses, he went to his study, making some phone calls, according to him.She didn't see him come to sleep at night, because she was asleep then, she also hardly saw him throughout yesterday,She wondered if he was avoiding her.She got up reluctantly and looked around the room, except for the sheets that were crumbled, one would think that David hadn't slept in the room last night.She went to the bathroom to take a shower, wondering where her husband had disappeared.Going downstairs, she saw that no one was there, except for a maid cleaning the table.“Good morning my lady”, she greeted“Good morning,” Celine answered.“Where is everyone?” she asked.“Mr Wheelers has gone to the office while Mrs Wheelers is still in her room”, the maid answered.With a bow, sh
She took the blue Ferrari which David had instructed her to drive whenever she wanted to go out.Her dress was corporate, a blue suit over a black camisole that brought out the beauty of her eyes.As she reached the building, she was astonished by the striking appearance of the company. It was huge and prominent, and she couldn't believe she was married to its owner.A security man directed her to the car pack, she packed the car and went inside the building.Inside, she was told to present her ID card, which she did before she was allowed in.She went to the receptionist and asked about the CEO.She was told to wait while the receptionist made a phone call.Ma'am please what is your name, she asked.Mrs Celine Wheelers, she replied.The receptionist raised her brow but composed herself quickly, putting down the phone she directed Celine to the sixth floorCeline thanked her and took the lift.
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.
