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 hadCeline 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
The constable immediately opened the gates and David followed him to the office.When they got there,David's lawyer was there with his father in law and they were both smiling at David.“How are you David?" he said, still smiling as he shook his hand.“I am fine,” David said,and also shook the hand of the second lawyer.“You are out of here today,the charges have been dropped," Celine's father said.“Really!” David said, excitement building all over him.“Yes,” Celine's father answered.“That's good to hear,” David said.“Let's do the formalities,”the lawyer said.David moved towards the inspectors table and they all sat down In front of the inspectors desk.“Baron David Wheeler's,the inspector said,”due to our investigations and also good testimonies from witnesses,we are releasing you from this case and we term it as self defence.”
"Oh my God! Did you hear that mother? David said, excitedly.“Yes I heard the sound of a baby," his mother said, smiling and also feeling excited.David stood up and moved to the door of the delivery room but he couldn't see anything,so he came back to sit close to his mother again.“Relax my son,”the baroness said, patting his hand,”everything will be fine.”“Yes mother,” David said,patting back her hand.After a while another cry of a baby was heard,and after about some minutes,the door of the delivery room opened and the doctor came out.David rushed over to meet him.“Congratulations David,” he said,”you are now a father to two wonderful children.”“Your wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl,and she and the babies are in good health.”“Oh my God, this is the best news I have ever heard,Thank you,thank you doctor,”David said.“You are we
Celine woke up to see that the nurses had brought her babies.“Madam,you will have to feed the babies,” she said.“But why are they crying so loudly? Are they in pain?”Celine asked the nurse as she carried one of the babies from the nurse.“No madam,”the nurse said,”they are perfectly alright, it's just that they are hungry.”“Oh! Celine said,"So what do we do now?” Celine asked the nurse naively.The nurse smiled and said.“You will have to breastfeed them ma'am ,then we will also feed them with the bottle.”“Oh,”Celine said,feeling embarrassed,because she couldn't understand what to do as a mother.The nurse dropped the baby on the bed and helped her clean her nipple's with a wipe,then she put the baby Celine was carrying on her breast.Celine felt a little pain as her baby grabbed the nipples to suck.She smiled as she looked at the baby's head and was very prou
David drove into the driveway of the hospital and Arabella who was at his back followed suit.They both walked down the hallway and towards the reception where they signed the visitors book.As they entered Celine's room,she was seated already and stronger than earlier when she had just given birth.David went over to meet her and kissed her on the lips.“Sweetheart,I see you are strong now, I am happy to see you looking strong after childbirth.Celine smiled and then frowned when she caught a glimpse of Arabella.“Oh Sorry dear,David said,Arabella also came with me to see you and the babies.”“Good evening Celine, congratulations,and I hope you are doing fine.”“I am doing fine,thank you Arabella.”“I just couldn't resist seeing the babies and you of course,as I saw that David was so excited.”“Thank you so much,” Celine said.The
Celine woke up in the middle of the night,she was feeling some abdominal pain and as she turned to the other side,she saw that David was sleeping peacefully on the couch.Seeing the way he was sleeping,she didn't want to disturb him.She sat up and put some pillows on her back.She thought of her children and smiled with happiness.They were her source of joy,her bundle of happiness.“Why are you awake? What's wrong? David asked.Celine was startled,she didn't know David had awakened as she was lost in thought.“Am sorry I woke you sweetheart, “she said,”I was feeling a little pain in my lower abdomen that was why I woke up.”David was alert now and worried.“But how are you feeling now? Should I get the nurses?”“No, I feel it's a normal thing when you give birth,”Celine said.“You have started again,don't forget you are in the hospital n
The following day they woke up feeling strong and healthy,especially Celine.When the doctor came for a checkup Celine had to ask him if she could go home.“Doctor,” Celine asked,”can I go home today?”“Based on your report here,” the doctor said,looking at the document in his hand,”you are fit to be at home but I still want you to wait a bit till in the afternoon okay,”“It is fine, doctor,” David said.”We will wait here a bit till the afternoon.”“Good,”the doctor said,”this is just to observe you more.”He told the nurse to arrange their discharge papers.After the doctors and nurses were out,David went out to get tea for Celine and also some sandwiches.When he came back, she already had her shower and was breastfeeding the babies.David watched her as she put each child to her breast one at a time,he was so fascinated to witness that because he noticed that
When they reached the mansion,they were welcomed by the baroness who was so happy that her grandchildren had arrived.She had made sure that the whole house was decorated by flowers to celebrate the arrival of her grandchildren.As Celine and David stepped out with the children the baroness went forward to greet them.“Ahh,my lovely grandchildren are here,”the baroness said.“Yes mother,they are finally home,”David said.The baroness went towards Celine and hugged her on her shoulders.“You have done well my dear daughter,”she said.Celine was happy her mother in-law addressed her as daughter.“Thank you mother,”she said.“Let us go inside quickly,my grandchildren shouldn't be under the sun for long,” the baroness said.“Yes that is true,” David said and went inside the house and Celine followed suit with the other baby.
They had a lovely time with Celine's father,for the rest of the week.Her father, most times doted on his grandchildren all the time he was home,except when he was at work at his law firm.David gave himself a little break at the office and told the new secretary to handle matters over there.The secretary was doing a great job as he was trained by Arabella,so David was not regretting letting Arabella go anymore.The new secretary was capable of handling matters so swiftly and even more.David had also informed his mother that they would be arriving at the weekend,and Celine had also talked to her,letting her know, she and her grandchildren were fine.At the last day of the week,Celine's leg was better,so they decided to go out to the park and have a good time with the children. The maid also went with them.They strolled around for a bit then sat down under a tree.Whil
"What!" David exclaimed.“How ? When did it happen?”“Am sorry, I didn't know she was going to enter the garden and sit there,you see the garden has been unkempt for sometime and the new gardener comes in after a month," Celine's father said.“Anyway we are in the hospital.”David hung up the phone and his heartbeat accelerated. He couldn't believe Celine was in danger,and was fighting for her life in the hospital.He barely grasped the name of the hospital from his father in-law,all he wanted to do at that moment was to be at his wife's side.He stood up shaking and took his car keys and phone on his desk.As he stepped out, the new secretary that took over from Arabella was at the office besides his own,he quickly asked David what was wrong,seeing David's worried expression.David told him to take care of the office and not to worry.As he drove,he was so lucky tha
David was not himself for some time now,after Celine had left the house with the kids,the house was not the same for him anymore.The night before seemed endless,he tossed and turned until he was sure he had worn a hole in the mattress.Sleep refused to relieve him,he wrestled with his thoughts,his feelings for Celine,his love for his children…..But now,he had to make a decision and that was what he was about to do as he sat in his office.He had already sent for Arabella through the intercom,and was waiting for her to come in.“You sent for me David?” Arabella said as she came inside David's office.“Yes I did,”David said,”please sit down Arabella.”As Arabella sat down,David used just a minute to finish up what he was doing on his laptop.“Arabella,”he said as he raised up his head.“I know what I'm about to say might upset you,but you have to look at the brigh
Celine stood by the pool at her father's house.She watched the water in the pool as it was calm.She wished her life was as calm as the water.She remembered when she came to the house the day before and hugged her father,she couldn't prevent the tears from falling as her father consoled her.She watched later as he doted on his grandchildren before they all went inside the house.Her father had already told his housekeeper to prepare a room for Celine and the children.He made sure they cooked her favourite dish and allowed her to relax well and enjoy the food without asking her any questions.She was surprised because this was the third day and he hasn't said anything to her.“My princess,”Celine turned quickly to the sound of her Dad's voice,he was coming towards her as she stood by the side of the pool.“Father, you shouldn't have come down here to look for
"No mother,I will tell him on the way to my Dad's place.”“Ok,I have no business meddling,my dear it's between you and your husband but please try to sort it out on time,so that the children will not be affected.”“Ok mother I will do that,thank you so much,”Celine said.“Ok my dear,”the baroness said.She followed Celine inside the nursery to say goodbye to her grandkids.She bent and kissed each one of them on their cheeks.“My sweethearts,”she said,smiling at each of them,”I will miss you so much,come back soon ok.”“Don't worry mother,we will be back soon ok.”“Ok my dear,” the baroness said to Celine,"I will take you on your word.”Celine went over to the room and picked her suitcase and the one she packed for the kids.She then went back to meet the maid who was already ready with her own suitcase.They went downstairs and th
Looking at Celine,for a while,David saw that she was serious.He knows that the way he feels and relates with Arabella,others don't do the same as they don't understand their relationship.“But why would you say that Celine,I have never given you any reason to doubt me in handling this matter.”“You know I am not having an affair with Arabella,and I told you I will handle the matter.”“I will also make sure Arabella doesn't come to this house anymore.”“That is what you would always say,but after a while you will see her here again.”Celine said.“I don't know why we are still arguing about this woman? Especially after what she did.”“This woman would not stop till she has you in her life David and I can see that you are trying to make things so easy for her,”Celine said.“I am not making things easy for her Celine,I am just trying to handle this situation in a
David was so embarrassed about what had just happened,he can remember Celine vividly as she warned him against Arabella. It seems he was the only one that trusted Arabella blindly and this was the consequence.He entered the room but couldn't find Celine.He went towards the bathroom door and knocked.“Celine,darling, please come out," he said,"I would like us to talk.”“There is nothing to talk about,” Celine said inside the bathroom,she really didn't want to face him now.“Please darling,I know I have really hurt you by what you saw,” David said.“Please just come out ,so we can talk, my dear,”David said.Celine reluctantly came outside and David wanted to hold her,but she avoided him.“Stay away from me! “David, please don't touch me.”“Why Celine? You are my wife and I have a right to touch you.”“Not after you have committed
Everyone in the room was startled. David was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say to his mother. Immediately Arabella burst into tears. “What is wrong?” the Baroness asked again. “Why is Arabella crying?” “It's nothing,’’ Celine said," mother,let us go to the living room.” Before the Baroness could turn as she too knew it was an awkward situation, Arabella composed herself quickly and said. “Ma'am,I am sorry for everything but I and David slept together as we were both drunk.” The Baroness stood there in shock,as she heard what Arabella said. “What do you mean Arabella,that is a shameful act and you are bold to tell me to my face!” The baroness looked at David with eyes which were quite disappointed. “Am sorry ma'am,” Arabella said, “please forgive me ma'am
"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.
