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 walked down towards her car and she noticed a shopping mall close to the company and decided to go there to do some shopping before she went home.She would buy a scarf or shawl for her mother."l know mother would like that", she muttered to herself smiling as she walked down.She removed every thought of David's attitude and indifference from her mind.She wouldn't give up, she thought, after all, she was his wife and she had to make this second marriage work even if David showed indifference to her.A mistake must not be repeated twice, one should always take caution after an experience.She started humming to herself as she entered the shopping mall.***David looked remorseful as he watched her go, he stood up to go after her, but he stopped himself quickly."How can he, the CEO of the wheelers company, run after a woman?"He looked curiously at the lunch pack and opened it, as he saw th
Celine reached the reception area but didn't see anyone.“Hello, anyone here?” she called outBut no one answered her.“That's strange”, she thought to herself.Just as she was about to move out, someone grabbed her from behind again as she was about to open the door to the mall to go out.She turned, and her heart started beating fast again as she noticed a gun pointed at her head.Turning as she raised her hands, she saw other two men with masks at the corner of the building pointing guns at the cashier and attendants who were all piled in one corner.The man pointing the gun at her shoved her with a push to sit where the other customers sat on the ground, with another man pointing a gun at them.Celine sat there quietly with others knowing that she was in trouble, entering the wrong place at the wrong time.Looking around, she saw that they were robbers trying to steal money from the cashier. By the way, they were nervous; she guessed they
David was so engrossed with the file when Arabella came in.“David you should see this”,she said.‘See what?He barked at her.“The news”, she said.He glanced at the television which was on.So what do l have to do with the news he said dismissively,then something caught his eye.“My God!He exclaimed loudly.On the ground with other people was his wife,the news was all about some robbers hijacking the shopping mall close to his company.He stood up apprehensively.“He thought she had gone home”,he thought silently “Damn!He spat out again.How can his wife be in the custody of these hoodlums,he thought she had gone home.“What is she doing there?”He thought to himself,pacing up and down in the office and thinking of what to do.He couldn't believe that his wife who just left here a few minutes ago was now in the custody of hoodlums.He picked up his p
What happened to her?, the baroness asked, worried as she saw David carrying Celine inside the mansion.“She's fine ,I can assure you of that mother”.David said.“All thanks to God”,the baroness said,making a prayer sign.“I was so worried when the maids told me there was a robbery and she was in the mall”.“I tried calling you but couldn't reach you”.Don't worry mother,I will be fine “,Celine reassured the baroness seeing her worried look.“It's just a little sprain,I will be alright in a few days”.“Very well,the baroness said.it's good that you are safe”.“Thank you mother”, Celine said,as David carried her up the stairs.He put her down gently on the bed.“I will call the doctor to see your sprain”,he said“No need for a doctor,she spat out angrily”,still upset by his behavior.David looked at her,seeing the anger in her eyes.“I am sorry”,he said
"I brought her here”, David said as he came down the stairs.“ She came to see Celine”.“Oh I see”, the baroness said with raised brows.“Then you can join us for dinner Arabella”.“Thank you, ma'am,”, Arabella said, smiling sheepishly. as she went to the dinner table to pull a chair for herself. Not minding that everyone knew she had wanted to stay for dinner.“David come and sit with me”, Arabella said, already helping him to pull a chair close to her.David looked towards Celine but she ignored him, pretending to look elsewhere.He reluctantly accepted Arabella's invitation seeing her smile of triumph, as Celine sat close to his mother.Immediately, Arabella started talking as the food was served.”David, do you remember how we went for a picnic in our third year at college?”She chuckled as David grinned.“Do you remember
Celine watched as David went out, she winced when he banged the door, feeling confused and nervous to see him so angry.“Does that mean he was defending Arabella, because he loves her?” why would just a little argument get him annoyed to that extent?”She stood up from the bed and went to wash her face in the bathroom.Leaving a grudge to the next day can destroy a marriage; she wouldn't want that to happen, would she?She would go after David soon and apologize to him so they could settle their differences.Using a towel to clean her face, she dashed it also with a little powder and went out to look for David,She checked the guest room but couldn't see him, so she went downstairs and looked around for a while.Just when she wanted to give up and go upstairs to sleep, she heard voices in the courtyard.Curious, she went close to the door
Days turned into weeks and she was mostly in the garden or cooking because she loves to do that as it was her passion.She was baking a cake when David came in.“Good morning”, he said from the kitchen doorway.“Good morning”,she answered,her face flushed from opening the oven to check the progress of the cake .“What are you doing?David asked.“I am baking a cake”, Celine answered,”but why are you back so early?”She asked.“I forgot some important files at home,and I needed to bring them along to the office”.he answered,coming closer to where she was standing .He was looking at her strangely and she felt embarrassed.“What is it?”she asked, raising her brows.He didn't talk but moved closer again to wipe the side of her nose with his hands.She just stood there looking at him and he smiled.“You look cute baking in the kitchen with the flo
Celine opened her eyes quickly to the sound of David's voice as she turned.She saw that he had bowed and was stretching his hand towards her.She looked at the baroness who was smiling as she gestured with her eyes for Celine to accept the invitation from her husband.Celine put her hands on David's hands and stood up.David took her to the dance floor amidst the clapping of their guests who were all smiling and cheering them forward.At the dance floor,David put his hands on her waist which made Celine put her hands on his shoulders.He looked at her with a calm expression and pulled her closer.She gasped as her body came in contact with him,he was so close that she could feel every part of his body.“Relax sweetheart”,he whispered huskily.“But how can I,you are holding me so tightly”,she whispered.“You know we have to play the perfect couple”,
The next day, Celine woke up and saw that David was still sleeping.She got up slowly so that she would not wake him.As she stood up she started feeling nauseous and she rushed to the bathroom. After she had vomited a bit she felt a little better.As she showered, she thought back on what she had eaten at the auction.But the food was very nice, what would have made her throw up that way? She thought.She came out of the shower to the room, heading for the wardrobe.“Well maybe the food didn't go well with my system,” she said aloud to herself.And who is talking to herself this morning? Is it something I need to worry about? What didn't go well with your system?” David asked.Nothing Celine said, you don't need to worry dear.”“Are you going to the office today?”Celine asked.No, I gave myself a little break today,” he said.“I want t
Before it was twelve noon,David had already left the house for the auction,and her parcel had come. It was wrapped in a golden paper but David told her not to open it,till he had left.When he left,she opened it and the beauty of the gift made her gasp with admiration“This is beautiful,”she thought to herself.It was a silk light green material and when she wore it,it fitted her perfectly as if the dress was made for her.It also brought out the green colour in her eyes and brightened her eyes.She went downstairs and saw the baroness in the sitting room.“Wow!”this is beautiful,” she said,admiring her green silk dress that showed her curves,making her look very attractive.“Thank you mother,” she said,”all thanks to David who has a good eye for beautiful dresses.”“Yes!”the baroness said, “my son really has good taste.”“Yes mother,” Celine smile
"Are you asking me about coming tomorrow or on the day of the auction?” David asked.“No, I am asking to come on the day of the auction,”Celine answered.“Of course,you can come,” David said.“Thanks,” Celine said.They ate the rest of their dinner in silence.The next day David went early as usual to the office and Celine did some cooking in the house first before she went to the restaurant.When she came back home later in the evening,David was not home yet.She decided to cook him some dinner because she remembered he said he would be late.After she had prepared dinner she went to take a shower because by that time it was already late.She was in the bathroom when she noticed someone came into the bathroom.“Who is it?” she asked from the bathroom.No one answered her. She didn't hear anything again till after some f
What type of question is that Celine?” He said glaring at her,”what has Arabella got to do with this?”"Look, I am warning you about Ray and you are trying to compare these with the working relationship I have with Arabella,are we still on Arabella's matter?”Celine knew she had to keep calm about Arabella’s issue,but the way he was getting agitated about Arabella was making her annoyed too.Why does he always protect his relationship with Arabella?Does that mean he can be on speaking terms with Arabella and she cannot do that with Ray.He cannot just tell her to stop talking with Ray,even if Ray tried to pass his limit with her sometimes,she would still know how to handle him ,she thought to herself.“Ok David,let us leave it this way,”Celine said,”leave Ray to me,so that gradually I will make him lack interest in me and have other relationships,because I feel if you force him by telling him to stay away from me it might infuriate h
David entered the room with force and pounced on Ray,he held him on the collar and gave him a blow on the jaw.Ray was taken unawares and fell on the office desk.David shouted.“Don't you dare touch my wife again!This is the last time I will see you near my wife,”he said.Celine was so confused about what was happening that she just stood there watching David as he shouted on top of his lungs.David was really furious,she hasn't seen him so angry like that before she thought to herself.Ray held his jaw and tried to defend himself.“Why would I leave her alone David?she was my wife before she became yours.”The manager of the restaurant rushed into the room with some other men who were part of the security. They grabbed Ray and tried to shove him out,but he stood his ground and told them he knew his way out.“Go away Ray before I do something
"What?” Celine said, looking at him with astonishment.“Why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?”“I have my suspicions,” he said.“What happened between you and Arabella that day? were you arguing?”“Yes we were, and it was all about her closeness with David.” Celine said.“You see and since you said you felt an impact, as if someone pushed you,it was definitely her because there was no one there at that time.” “ Yes I knew someone pushed me that day,but I just can't say who because I was closing my eyes then.”‘So as David asked her what happened after the whole episode,I saw that she was nervous.”Celine said.“But since no one saw her in the act,she got away with it.”Celine said furrowing her brows.“That was why I ended my relationship with her,”Ray said.“I found out there was nothing she wouldn't do to have David back and that they were sweetheart's at
The following morning Celine woke up to see that David had gone.“Where could he have gone so early?" she thought to herself.Yesterday,she waited for him to come back to the room not knowing what went wrong as he left angrily but she was exhausted after dinner and went to sleep.David did not talk much during dinner even as Celine was telling the baroness all about their adventure at the resort.He still went back to his study after dinner.She went to the bathroom to see if he was taking a shower,but no one was there.She shrugged her shoulders and went to take a shower.As she came down she saw the baroness at the garden, she was about to have breakfast.“Join me dear,”the baroness said to Celine.“Okay mother,”Celine said.“Good morning mother,I hope you had a good night's rest.“Yes I did,Celine,thank you dear.”“I notice
Celine was shocked and confused after she saw the writing at the back of the picture.What does all this mean?Were they soulmates before?But David had assured her, he doesn't have anything to do with Arabella!Or was there another story to their relationship which they are keeping secret?Celine decided that she would investigate the matter herself, she wouldn't tell David about it again as he might be upset that she was doubting him.She gently placed the picture back and kept the luggage on top of the wardrobe.“Ok it's your turn to shower,” David said as he entered the room from the bathroom, cleaning his hair with the towel.She went over to him and collected the towel, trying to be on her toes as she cleaned his hair.David stood there looking at her, he said huskily.“Doing this wifely duty is good, but right now you are arousing me, Celine.”
In the morning, Celine and David came out of the resort with their luggage to board a taxi to the airport.“Please can I take a ride with you guys,” Arabella said.David and Celine looked at her as she came over to their side, and was struggling with her luggage.“Where is Ray?”David asked.“I don't know!” Arabella said, frowning her face.“What happened Arabella?” David asked her in a calm voice.“Ok I know you will keep on asking me David till I tell you,” she said. “Yes I will,” he said.“We had a fallout and I don't want to talk about it now,” Arabella said.“Ok!”David said,” We will talk about that later.”He opened the taxi and ushered both women inside then he put the luggage and sat by the driver's side.Celine took a glance at Arabella and wondered what had transpired between her and Ray for her to leave without him.
