David rushed to Celine's side.
“My dear,it's okay,stop crying,”he embraced her and gave her a kiss on the forehead.“Don't cry, I cannot believe that I am talking with you now,I am so sorry that I didn't find you earlier.”David looked at her still crying as tears rushed down her cheeks,seeing her in this way brought back all the love he has for her and more.He promised himself to protect her with his last breath and never let her go again.He would make sure he hires bodyguards for her he thought,he would always be aware of where she was at all times.“Celine it's okay,” he said “it's all over, Ray would not bother you again,please stop crying.”She looked up and took the handkerchief he offered her and blew her nose.Julia came over and sat close to her,as Celine saw her she hugged her and felt emotional again,and the tears kept on rushing.“Celine,it's okay,the othCeline sat in the car as David sped along the road to the hotel.David had almost forgotten that Arabella was with him.But now they will still have to spend the day at the hotel,then they will take a flight back to the city the following morning.David looked towards Celine and asked.“Are you alright?Do you feel any pain or discomfort?”He knows pregnant women are always delicate and he wants her to always be comfortable.“I am fine David, she said,calling him by his name,She still feels awkward by his side,but she knows that gradually she would get used to him.Celine had said her goodbyes to Julia and her husband,they had pleaded for her to stay one more day but she refused because she didn't want to face Ray and she had a feeling that they might release him at the police station under bail.So taking that risk to stay at his house was too much for her t
The next day they all carried their luggages to the car,David had a call from his mother and told her that they were on their way.He booked three seats close to each other but Arabella sat in one of the twin seats.David knew she did that on purpose,so Celine couldn't sit beside him“Celine, sit beside Arabella okay,I will take the next seat at your back," he said.“Okay,” Celine said,and sat close to Arabella.The woman frowned but tried to hide it.David just ignored her and helped Celine put on her seat belt ,then he went to sit on the next seat.“Are you alright Celine?”he asked, leaning forward.“Yes thank you David,’’she said.Celine laid down on her chair and relaxed all through the flight.They reached the city and When they got to the house,things were becoming to fall into place for Celine,Her Dad was al
After a while, David took Celine upstairs to freshen up before lunch.“I am so happy I found you,” David said hugging her from behind as they entered the room.She smiled and said;“thank you David for bringing me out of Ray's clutches,I was living a lie by that time.”“I can understand now why he told me to abort my baby,and I thank God that I refused to listen to him then.”“Why would he say you should abort the baby?Were you sick ? Or was anything wrong with the baby?”“No no! Nothing of the sort David,I am perfectly alright and my baby is okay too.”“Maybe as he knows the baby was not his,I guess it was intimidating him,”she said.“I guess so too,”David said.Celine looked around the room, and noticed that things were becoming familiar once again.She could remember where she kept her clothes,her makeup and other things.
"Arabella,you seem to be deep in thought,”the baroness said.Arabella looked up to see everyone looking at her.“No ma'am,I was just worried about my apartment,it's being a while I had been there,since i had been living here.”The way she said it,made it look like she wanted everyone to know that she had been staying at the mansion.“But you should stay for today atleast,then tomorrow you can go and check it out,”the baroness said.“Ok ma'am,” Arabella said,”I will go back tomorrow.”Celine stole a glance at Arabella,the woman has a crooked way of doing things,she always likes to crave attention. Celine has started remembering most things about Arabella,flashes of Arabella trying to get close to her husband came to her,and the more she remembered Arabella's escapades,the more she knew she was not a good woman and she needed to stay away from her.David put some bacon
The following morning,Celine woke up to see that David was still asleep.She tried to stand up and a hand pulled her back.“Where are you going, Mrs Wheeler's,”David said mockingly.“I just want to wash my face and brush my teeth,then I will go and prepare your breakfast as always.”“Wow,it's good you remembered that my dear,but you won't do anything now, certainly not with this condition?”“So do you want me to be lazy because I am pregnant?”“Am not saying you will be lazy,but I am being cautious,I don't want my baby to be harmed.”“Just go and brush your teeth and also wash your face as you said,but come back here,the maids will serve breakfast.”“What are they paid for,huh?”“It's fine," Celine said, smiling “I will do as you say,I just hope that I will not gain too much weight as I see the way you pamper me already.”David chuckle
David,”Arabella said,directing her gaze on him,”won't you take me home? I have some luggages to carry,you can't expect me to take a cab?”“No one is telling you to take a cab,”David said “of course I will take you home.”“Son!”the baroness said,” the driver can equally take her home.”“Yes I know mother, but I do appreciate all Arabella has done,the least I could do is take her to her house.”“Very well then,” the baroness said.“Yes Arabella has been there for me in my time of crises,I won't forget that.Thank you dear,”she said, turning to Arabella.“You are welcome ma'am,I am happy I could help,”Arabella said.Celine was just quiet hearing the whole conversation,she really didn't want David to take Arabella home,but she had no choice,she also had to appreciate Arabella for coming to help especially for David's mother.“Sincerely I want to thank you so much Arabella,for
As they reached the station, Celine was taken for interrogation,David wanted to follow her into the room but the policeman stopped him.“Sorry Mr wheeler's,you cannot follow her into the interrogating room,don't worry,she will be fine,we just want to ask her a few questions.”“Okay David said,go ahead and do your job.”He turned to Celine.“You will be fine my dear, just speak the truth,and don't forget I am here also supporting you.”“Thank you so much David,” Celine said,"I really appreciate your support in every way.”“Of course,count on me to be there for you at all times,”he said,and watched as she moved into the next room with the policeman.David called his lawyer and told him to come to the police station immediately,the lawyer promised to be there in twenty minutes and David hung up.He wondered how Celine was,he hoped she was not scared.He went over to
The days passed and the day of the trial was coming close.David had been so nice and caring towards Celine,he made sure she lacked nothing and most importantly,there was a calmness and peace in the house.The day before the trial,David came back from work and perceived some aroma. He just knew that it was Celine in the kitchen,Smiling,he went towards the kitchen and saw her giving instructions to the maids,while she was cutting some vegetables.She felt his presence and looked up.She smiled a welcome and immediately she washed her hands and called the maid to take charge.She went towards David as he kissed her in the lips.“What was that for?she asked him,raising her eyebrows in a teasing manner.“That was for my beautiful wife, and to show you I am the luckiest person in the world.”Celine smiled,happy at his compliments.“How was the
"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
