Aunty Meng was also present and she smiled broadly at Sheila. She had watched David grow to the Man he was now. She was like a second mother to him. She knew that if there's a person who could make David happy,then it was this lady In Front of her. Ofcourse, she was very much satisfied with David's choice this time, not like his deceased wife had a problem. It's just that comparing the two, she was jolly, loving and caring. She was simple and honest.Alicia sauntered to Sheila, hugging her tightly." You know what? I never imagined that a day will come when I'll see my cousin so humbled in front of everyone. To think that he actually proposed to you, wonders do happen." Alicia praised." Congratulations dearest for taming this dragon, you deserve an award." She added, smiling pleasantly at Sheila." Always remember that you have our full support, grandma and I. Soon you'll marry my cousin and become one of us, so as earlier as now, let me officially welcome you to the family." Alicia
" Nothing much. Actually there's nothing about him that you don't have. The problem is not you,it's this," she said clutching her chest where her heart was located. " This brings the difference between the two of you. While I love you as a friend and brother,I feel something different for David. It's magical, inexplicable. I can't understand it myself but I know that without him,I might as well lose the will to live." Sheila said with a dreamy look on her face. Just thinking about the man she loved,she couldn't control the emotions swirling in her heart, making it swell with happiness and contentment, threatening to burst. Fred gritted his teeth in annoyance. He had come here to convince her to leave behind that old bastard and be with him,not to watch as she praised his enemy in his presence." Are you rubbing salt to my wounds by saying that?" Although he tried masking his deep hatred towards David,it still surfaced. " What man threatens people to stay away from others ? Does he
" It's okay." His magnetic voice did wonders to her trembling heart. At that moment Fred had pulled her and kissed her forcefully,her heart had dropped to the deepest of pits. What was running in her mind at that moment was how would David feel if he saw her at that Instance. Will he find her cheap? Or dirty? Will he misunderstand her and break up with her? Will he loathe her? With those thoughts, she had struggled but he was far stronger,not to mention he knew her, her every move so it was easy for him to cage her.." Honey,I didn't..." She wanted to explain that she just wanted to have a decent conversation with her once best friend because she was sure after this, they'll remain strangers at least. She wanted to convince him to move on and find his happiness somewhere else. She wanted to wish him luck. She wanted to say that she was sorry she couldn't return his affection. She wanted closure but who would have thought that the guy had different intentions in mind." Shhh! You do
" Yeah.. yeah I guess age has caught up with me and I am becoming emotional." Old madam Brown said, blinking some tears away. " This reminds me of back then when your mother entered our family. She was just as Young as your wife." The old woman said, smiling at the duo.After receiving the cup of tea offered by her granddaughter In law, she drank it and blessed her." Life Long to see your great grandchildren dear and welcome to the Brown family. Now,I can rest knowing that the Brown family has its Mistress." Old madam Brown added.Sheila thanked her.The two finally left after paying their respects to their ancestors. The Brown villa was referred to as the ancestral home because the ancestral chambers were within its premises. Every late member of the Brown family from the main Branch was laid there with the exception of Sandra who had asked to be buried away from home.David's first wife.David had taken Sheila to introduce her to his late wife which Sheila ofcourse did not take off
"Be good to Aunt Meng baby, we will be back before you even Know it." Sheila coerced Lily who was crying to tag along.David and her were leaving for their honeymoon and obviously, Lily could not come along.David, who stood by the side observing his daughter trying to sabotage his plans of spending alone time with his wife, scratched his head thoughtfully. He has to convince his daughter to stay back." I will be good mommy, just take me along with you," the little one pleaded.She had just found herself and outstanding mother, how could she let her father dominate her mother all by himself.Sheila sighed helplessly. She was at a crossroad, not knowing whether to bring Lily with them.If it was up to her, she would definitely bring the little one with them but this is not about her. David made it clear to her in the morning that they would be going for a trip as husband and wife. Although he did not say it openly, Sheila was no fool to not understand what he meant.They are newlyweds
The reception at the island hotel was one of a kind. Since the island was known for hosting couple's, the two lovers received a candlelight dinner.There was plenty of sea food and Sheila loved every bit of it. It was well cooked with moderate spices, just like she loved it.Of course, David being the loving husband he peeled prawns for his woman. He wanted to pamper her because when night falls, it would be his turn to be pampered.After dinner, the two were served with a bottle of ten year old wine." This is a special treatment for all couples here tonight." The waiter who served them explained.Tonight, David allowed Sheila to drink wine. As long as she would handle the consequences of her turning him on later, he did not mind.While occasionally taking a sip of wine from her glass, Sheila could not help her mind from wandering about Lily.Having gotten used to having the little bundle of joy around her, she could not help but miss her." I wonder how Lily is doing? Has she eaten
" I David Brown, take you Sheila Mason, to be my wife. Infront of the alter, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us apart." David recited, his eyes never leaving her, not even for a second With that said, he slipped the wedding ring to her finger." I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love and dedication to you. From this say forward, your joy is my Joy. Your problems are mine too, your heart is my heart and your dreams are my dreams.I promise to be devoted to you above all others, and to find in you, my husband, tbe light that is my home." Sheila said her part before slipping the wedding ring into David's finger." Los declaro en nombre de la ley y ante la sociedad unidos en matrimonio"By the power vested in me by law and before society, I declare you United in matrimony. The priest announced."Vous pouvez maintanant embrasser le mariée"You may now kiss the br
At Jomo Kenyatta international airport, the plane started descending. A lady's voice was heard from the intercom alerting all passengers to prepare for landing." Abiria wapendwa, asanteni kwa kuchangua Kenya airways kwa Safari yenu. Tunapotua kwenye uwanja wa kimataifa wa jomo Kenyatta, sisi wa Kenya airways tunawatakia furaha mnapozuru mji huu. Karibuni tena."" Dear passengers, thank you for choosing Kenya airways. As we land at Jomo Kenyatta international airport, we wish you a happy stay here. Welcome again."Sheila's eyes widened in surprise. She knew that they were headed somewhere in Africa but she did not know exactly which country.She had thought that perhaps David would take her to South Africa. Who would have thought that they were coming to Kenya. The very same ancestral country for her adoptive mother.Tears welled up in her eyes. She had always wanted to visit the country that gave her a wonderful mother, who would have thought that David would fulfil this dream for he
One year later" Darling, I think that dress is too tight." David persuaded as he caressed his wife's growing tummy." What do you know? I'm the one wearing the dress and not you." Sheila retorted, glaring at David.Her pregnancy was in her second trimester and was getting bigger." I'm just looking out for you." David said with a pout. Actually, the design she was wearing was showing too much skin at the back and he was displeased about that.Today was Alicia and Caleb's wedding day and his wife was among the bridesmaids." Alicia designed this dress for me and I'm sure she knew I was pregnant. You might as well say that you don't like the design rather than give me some baseless excuses." Sheila exposed David's thoughts, glaring at the man.First, he got her pregnant barely a year after they reunited, now, he wants to dictate what she will wear?" Okay, you can wear it but promise me to cover your back. I don't like others looking at your fair skin. Only I have the right to look at
" Don't you remember us anymore?" Lily asked Sheila, blinking her eyes expectantly. She was no fool. She could tell that something was wrong with her mommy.She was never the one to ignore others or pretend so the only explanation was : her mother forgot about them.Sheila shook her head. Something about how the girl was looking at her made her heart bleed." The man from earlier, who is he?" Sheila asked." He's our father and your husband." Lily honestly replied." Husband? I have a husband?" Sheila's brows were furrowed. Nobody told her that she was married with a family.Why did they hide the truth from her? She could tell that the girl before her was not lying to her. Why would she? She didn't have a reason to do that." The ring on your necklace, where did you get it from?" Lily asked. It was obviously the same ring her father gave her at their wedding." This?" Sheila asked, touching the ring attached to her necklace." My brother told me that it was given to me by Amelia's fat
" You tell him, he always listens to him." Lily said, pushing his brother Aiden towards their father who was seated on his office chair going through some files.The two had asked their driver to purposely drive them to their father's company because they had something to discuss with him." Why should I be the one to talk to him? You are the elder sister." Aiden complained. He could not understand why his sister was pushing him to speak to their father about the trip when she was the one who won the voucher." What's the matter?" David, who was aware of his children's presence in his office, asked." Lily has something to tell you."" Aiden wants to tell you something."The two said simultaneously, making David lift his head to look at them with raised brows." Come here," he beckoned the two who walked to his side.Pulling them each into his arms, he kissed their cheeks.His two children have been the reason he is still strong even after losing his wife.When he found Aiden left beh
Alicia and Caleb pulled away, each panting heavily. Caleb smiled at her, he didn't want to imagine that he just said yes to her proposal.Other men pride themselves when they confess to the woman they like, yet to him, he was confessed to by the woman he loved.He felt happy and special. He was not thinking of his status and wealth, for at this moment, it was her that was in his arms. He was not thinking of their background, or the people who would probably think he's after her for her wealth, it was just him and her, together, forever." Thanks everyone for being here to witness the beautiful start of our Love journey." Alicia said to the people, bowing slightly.Turning to Caleb, she pulled him impossibly close to her body, " don't you think we need some alone time together?" She whispered into his ears and watched how his face burned with embarrassment.Taking his hand, she led him to the elevator. The door to the elevator opened and together, they stepped Inside.After pressing on
Outside the elegant design shop, Caleb stood waiting with a bouquet of flowers at hand.Today, his best friend for the past five years invited him to a date.Clad in blue jeans and a white button up shirt, he was looking elegant and Charismatic.Five years had passed since he decided to face reality and be a better person for himself. Throughout the journey of discovering himself, a certain amazing woman stayed by his side. She corrected him when he went astray, encouraged him when he was on the verge of giving up and sympathised with him when things didn't go as planned.Today is the day he finally mustered his courage to ask her out only to have her beat him to the task. He was getting off the office where he worked when he received a call instructing him to pick her up at her shop so that they could have dinner together.It wasn't the first time they would be having dinner together but something about her voice told him that things might be different from tbe friendly dinners they
" Email? What email?" David asked with a frown." The madam, they have news about the madam." Jordan replied. He could not believe that they chose to use an email to contact his president.David immediately snatched the iPad in Jordans eyes before reading the email on display." My daughter, your wife is fine with me. I know your daughter needs surgery, that's why I have sent back your son to you. Hotel DAVOON , room 398. Be there, he will be waiting for you."The email was short but the contents made David's stomach churn violently." Prepare the car, we are leaving." David announced before making his way to the door." I want the sender of that email traced. I have to find my wife ." He ordered as he raced to the elevator." Sir, it's an encrypted email, I don't think we can trace it." Jordan protested." Just do it." David growled.He needed to get to the hotel ASAP and check the room, there could be a clue to lead him to his wife.Twenty minutes later, the car pulled off at the pa
David was sitting in his office when Jordan entered with a sombre expression on his face." Did you get something from her?" He asked and Jordan regretfully shook his head." We didn't find anything helpful to find Madam. She is saying crazy things. They don't make sense at all." Jordan replied.David closed his eyes, leaned on his chair and let out a tired sigh.It's been eight months and he has been looking for Sheila everywhere yet he hasn't been able to find her. It's like she vanished into thin air." Jordan, tell me , do you think my wife will come back to me?" David asked and Jordan pressed his lips together. He didn't know what to say to his president.Ever since the Madam left, he has watched his president turn into a shell of his former self.She left without saying a word. According to the president, there were no issues between the two of them. They have exhausted all means Just to find her but nothing seems to work." Everyday, I don't Know what to tell my daughter when
It was early evening when Sheila and David arrived home. David had managed to convince Sheila to not head to work since it was already dark." Why don't we do something more interesting than working?" David suggested, pulling Sheila to sit on his laps. They were now Inside their bedroom with David seated at the edge of the bed."Like what?" Sheila asked, wiggling her hips so that her bottom brushed his crotch."I don't know... anything. You name it." David replied, his lips twitched with anticipation.Sheila stared at her husband in surprise. It had been a while since they had sex, but it wasn't because they were no longer in love. It was just that they both had too much work to do and now with Sheila being pregnant, David didn't want to put much stress on her."So you're up for it?" Sheila asked, her hands instinctively moving to her stomach as it was starting to show the little bump."Well, let's see what your body says," David replied, grinning at Sheila.David reached out and unbu
" What do you think about this one?" Sheila asked, showcasing her green backless dress. The two of them were preparing to attend the launching of the new jewelry by Blake Shelton's company." Too revealing " David stated plainly, his eyes narrowing at Sheila's exposed Milky skin at the back." Too revealing? Are you kidding me? This is a backless dress and this is its design." Sheila complained." What's wrong with you? You seem to have a problem with everything I wear." This was the ninth dress and still, David had something negative to say about it." If you want me to walk naked, you might as well tell me." She complained.She was getting tired, not to mention the event was going to start in less than an hour. As one of the invited guests and Blake's junior, how could she afford to be late?But with David's actions of refusing each and every dress she tried, they were surely going to be late.Without a word, David walked to the wardrobe and retrieved a purple maternity dress. He th
