"Why do you think the lawyer came to see her?"Nick asked as he and Stacey hovered at the dining room waiting for Celine and the lawyer to come."He only comes to this house to talk about the company welfare and also to bring bad news, Celine3 father had left her his shares, Bruce tried buying it at that time but she wouldn't sell, the lawyer has been managing it for her for years now and If he is here, definitely its not because of some thing good"Stacey said "Miss Celine! Miss Celine!" The lawyer voice was the first thing they heard before seeing Celine limping towards the front door "What's going on?"Stacey asked as she ran towards the lawyer"She found out some thing her step father did and has decided to go and confront him"The lawyer said and on hearing that Nick ran after Celine.She was just getting into the car when he got there "What is it?"She asked looking all cold and distant.Is she the one that melted in his arms a while ago, the girl that had shown him her other sid
Nick sat in the car starring at Celine who had gone all quiet.She had not been this quiet when she was talking to Thomas and Bruce.Thinking of Thomas made him angry, how dare the bastard buy a share of Celine company.He is up to some thing ,he wouldnt have buy a share in the company if he didn't have some thing planned,Nick thought.He knew his brother well enough, he had made him do a terrible thing a year ago and that is some thing he would forgive or forget, he still blames him self for it, so why he forgive Thomas, the one who made him do it, he thought as he kept on starring at Celine.The car stopped and she was about to get out of the car when he stopped her by holding onto her hand "Are you okay?"he asked "Yes I am and you should stop worrying about me"She said "But am your guard .....""And that is all you will ever be! Am angry that you chose to run to the safe side rather to accept what is going on"She said "What do you mean?""Forget it Nick,I doubt if you will ever
Nick walked around the mansion searching for Celine, ever since she got the invitation, she has gone to her bed room or he thought so.Stacey had gone in search of her only to come back telling him that Celine is not in her room, they began the search together and Nick was just coming back from the garden when he met Stacey."Have found her, she is in her father room, I should have thought of that before saying she is missing"she said and Nick walked past her with out saying a thing heading to the room of Celine father."Celine only goes there if she wants to think, you should leave her alone"Stacey said trying to stop him "I will deal with what ever she sends my way"Nick said as he walked the few paces to the room and then walked in with out knocking.She was standing by the window and didn't look back when he walked into the big room"Leave! I want to be alone"She said not looking back"You look awful"He said and she looked at him, she looked away quickly to wipe off the tears thou
"I do not know him? Am some one who can read another and I can tell that he is no good"Thomas said "If you won't speak well about my guard, then I suggest that you stop because I won't tolerate it if you.....""If I what? Don't tell me that you like him ?"Thomas asked this feeling a bit strange He knew she liked Nick, after all he had caught her starring at the table where he was seated, she was all taking when he was by her side but when he left, she looked with drawn which leaves him to the conclusion that she liked Nick, some thing he found to be annoying, how does Nick attracts the most beautiful female,he thought as he stared at the angry beauty still in his arms "Of course I don't....stop making silly assumption"She denied She took so long to answer which certainly means that she likes him, what a lucky bastard Nick was."Then am glad that you don't or will seeing him in another lady arms make you feel different?" He asked and Celine found her self starring at Nick who was
"You are taking long to answer Celine"Thomas said as he tried to coerce a response from her."I....I.....I""You don't need to give him an answer Celine"Nick said as he barged in.Just as he would have liked to hear her answer, he was also scared that he wouldn't like the answer and so to prevent her from answering, he went towards them to stop it.On seeing Nick, Celine felt relieved, saved from answering a question she didn't fancy at all" Why are you here? Your boss and I are having a conversation, I suggest you leave"Thomas said to Nick who stood still "Celine isn't going to marry you"Nick said feeling very angry "And who are you to say that?"Thomas asked "Some one who knows Celine well enough" and who knows you too, Nick thought and would have added it to his words if Celine hadn't been there."Look here, I......""Nick is right Thomas, I don't need to give you an answer because your question of marriage is out of the current situation, all I want is my father company to be b
Nick got back to the house, looking for Celine only to find Stacey there starring at him."What happen?"he asked the angry Stacey "Celine has been through enough as it is, why would you make her cry?"Stacey asked "Look I ......""She came back home looking all sad and with out you..she wouldn't say a thing and when I went to her room,it was to see her all cuddled on the floor crying and calling your name, just what did you do to her?" Stacey asked not giving him a chance to speak "She was calling my name?"Nick asked finding that part hard to believe "Yes she was? The poor thing have been feeling a Reck because of the feelings she has for......." Stacey stopped to stare at him in shock "Feelings?"Nick asked "It's nothing....just stop making Celine feel bad, stick to that girl...Alicia and leave Celine alone"She said and hurriedly walked off.Nick had his doubt earlier when he was talking to Celine but with what Stacey said to him, he knew that she was about to say the same thing
"What do you have to tell me about Nick ?"Celine asked as she stared at Thomas who sat at the opposite seat, admiring the house."Nothing interesting, I only used that as a way to get you to talk to me, I knew you wouldn't want to talk me and so I thought of this way to get to you"He said "Okay. Now that you have gotten a way to see me,tell me what you really want"Celine asked "Won't you even offer me a drink?"he asked "No"Celine replied sharply "You are quite blunt....okay then if you won't offer me a drink then you can as well show me around your house "Thomas said "Mr Daven port will you just get to the point, as you can see am a busy person, so are you"Celine said "Well then since you want me to get to the point then I will start by asking you what your decision will be to what I asked of you last night?"he asked "My answer would be no""May I ask why?"Thomas asked"I found some better"She said thinking about Nick "Your guard for example?"He asked "Yes!you were right with
Nick got back to the mansion only to see Stacey looking haggard and disturbed.What was the matter? Where could Celine be? Could some thing have happened? He thought as he went towards her."Where is Celine? "Nick asked as he stared at her"Well... she.....she"Stacey stopped to stare at him and when he was already thinking the worst,he heard her calling his name.He turned to see the her walking out of the lift and quickly he ran towards her pulling her into a tight hug."What's wrong?"Celine asked as she hugged him back fiercely.She had been getting dressed, so she could go to him, Zack must be very important to him and knowing that the man is dead must be very devastating for Nick."Just let me hold you"He said softly pulling her into his embrace Stacey had some how left them to be on their own."Hey! Am okay. I heard about Zack death.Am really sorry for your loss "she said as he moved out of her arms to stare down at her "Thank you"He replied softly still treating like a fragile
