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.AsDavid 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 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
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
"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
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
"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
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
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
"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
