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
As they finished eating their dinner, they stayed in the living room for a while.“My son,”the baroness said,”please ,make sure you protect Celine by all means tomorrow at the court,make sure nothing happens to her.”“Don't worry mother,I will protect her with my life, nothing will happen to her,and as you said, the truth will prevail,” David reassured his mother.“Yes!” Celine said,”don't worry mother, Ray will finally be out of our lives for good and we will not have to be thinking about him and his mischief anymore.”“I hope so too,” the baroness said.“Mother you have to take your drugs now that you have eaten.”Celine said,She called one of the maids to bring the baroness drugs in her room.The maid brought them and Celine gave them to her mother in law.“Thank you my dear,”she said.“You are welcome mother,”Celine answered.“How is Arabella?”
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
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
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
