She kept asking herself during the ride home.Even Alexis was confused as to what could have gone wrong. “Don’t worry Celine, he could be really hot headed sometimes” she consoled.Meanwhile, when Xavier got in his car and was about to head home, he got a text from Maria 💌 Heyy….party downtown! Wanna come? 💜 💌Of course, perfect opportunity to party away his grievances, he wouldn’t miss the chance. So off to the party he went.Maria was waiting for him by the time he had arrived.“Heyy…haven’t seen you in a minute, what’s good?” she hollered embracing him.“Yes… work and stuff” he replied “how have you been?” “Partying as usual”Xavier really liked Maria, she was his spirit animal according to him. They grew up together and she knew every single detail about him, both the good and the bad.Maria a
YES I DO? From nowhere in particular
When Xavier got home that night, it was late and his grandfather was asleep, so they didn’t have a conversation until the next morning during breakfast. Mr. Smith naturally wanted to know all that went down during the date.“Did you kiss?” He asked.Xavier was about to swallow some tea but he poured it back into his cup upon his grandfather’s question.“What? No? Grandpa!!!”The elderly man raised both hands in surrender.“Just asking” he said “you liked her, right?”Xavier was pretty fine with her, until the point where he found out she was a gold digger. Now he wasn’t sure if he could stand her presence. He didn’t say that to his grandfather, however.“she’s a good girl.” He repliedMr. Smith nodded and continued with his meal. He was impressed that this was going well. A part of him had thought the youngsters would have a hard time getting along. Now it seems like there was nothing to worry about after all.“Any plans for today?” he asked after a minute of silence “Though

Mr. Smith was clearly the most excited about the wedding. He planned a very classy and grand engagement party. He also made sure not to invite too many guests as the wedding day was the real big deal and this engagement was just a teaser.Invitations were hand written by him and sent to only the really important people, i.e. the people of class. The engagement wasn’t going to be a quiet one but what made it special was that not just anyone could waltz in and claim to be a guest.Mr. Smith only sent out fifty invitations. He had asked Paul if he had people he wanted to invite but Paul said no. Celine too, but Mr. Smith had given her five invitation cards, making the number of guests to be expected Fifty-five.The day finally came and all preparations had been put to place. The Smith’s house had been converted into an event center for the night and it looked absolutely amazing.Celine was in a room, with a glam squad, they were getting her ready for her engagement party.

YES I DO? Susan doesn't really have your back...
Alexis walked closer Maria and whispered in her ear “Susan doesn’t really have your back!”Maria was taken aback by what Alexis meant, she scanned the room and noticed Susan standing at a corner far off, she had an helpless look on her face.“What did you do?” Maria askedAlexis just shrugged and beckoned on Susan to come closer.Earlier on before the party started, Maria had called Susan into a corner and squeezed plenty wads of cash into her hands and asked her to put the wristwatch in Celine’s bag.Susan was one of the people helping Celine get dressed so it was easy for her to have access to Celine’s bag.Alexis had caught Susan trying to put the watch in Celine’s bag and had threatened to raise an alarm if she didn’t say why she was doing so.Susan told it all to Alexis, who had to think of a way to turn the tables.Susan finally got to the spot were everyone had gathered to watch the scene.“Susan, I suppose you have Maria’s watch with you, right?” Alexis asked Susan wi
YES I DO? You're not coming out of this scot-free
Zack had done background check on Maria and had gotten to know the places she often frequented. One of those places was the club downtown, the one where Xavier had met her after his date with Celine had gone wrong.Zack knew if he were to get to Maria, he had to find her in a secluded area and not only that, he needed her to be sober when he confronted her. That meant he had to meet her before she went inside and got drunk.The parking lot was a perfect place, Maria had a special spot set aside for her, all Zack had to do was to pretend he was a valet and that way he was able to get through to Maria.Zack was standing in place of a valet and once Maria pulled up, he watched his steps to make sure he wasn’t facing the cameras directly. Pretending to get her car keys from her, he pulled her close to him and before she could screamed he rendered her unconscious using chloroform which he had previously sprayed in a towel.He put her in the back seat of her car and then got in the drivers
YES I DO? were you staring at me?
Celine got to her hostel feeling tired, all she wanted to do was just to lay down and sleep. But of course she couldn’t even do just that, why? Because some Mr. Xavier Smith was waiting for her to return from class.‘thought I made my distrust for this man known to him the last time?’ Celine thought to herself.“what do you want? Weren’t you satisfied with what you said to me the last time? Wanna say more?”Celine was flared up right now, one wouldn’t know she once used to have a soft spot for Xavier, now his presence just pissed her off. Not just him, and every other guy too.“I calm to apologize.” Xavier said calmly.Celine was taken aback. She had concluded in her head that Xavier was a jerk with a big ego, never in her thoughts had she imagine Xavier apologizing for a wrong.“what?” She asked surprised“Look, I know all this is Maria’s fault which is quite immature on her part. So I just want to say sorry for judging you and hurting your feelings” Xavier explained, not letti

The excitement in her eyes were clear and Xavier was impressed with himself for being able to pull off his apology date.He led her along the way to the harbor where a beautiful ship was waiting for them.

He had hired people to decorate the interior of the ship to look fit for a dinner date.The interior of the ship was expensive, not like anything Celine had seen before, she was impressed by what extent Xavier had gone to make it up to her.

YES I DO? Your whole being turns me on.
Celine had put in effort to make sure that their anniversary was one that they both would remember for quite a while and it seemed like her plan had worked as Xavier wouldn't stop grinning throughout the ride home."Doesn't it hurt?" She asked"What?" Xavier asked, his brows arched but he was still grinning from ear to ear, "Your cheeks? Doesn't it hurt from all that grinning" She teased"I'm just so happy, I can't bring myself to stop grinning. I can even imagine anything I could do that could top what you did today baby""I know right…leave it to me to plan amazing memories for us." "That's like your superpower."Xavier parked the car once they had gotten into their house."Don't get down yet." He said to Celine who was about to push open the door next to her.Curious to see what he had in store, Celine sat back and let her husband do his thing.Xavier turned off the car and got off, he went round the front and opened Celine's door. She was going to get off but he stopped her."H
YES I DO? Happy First Wedding Anniversary
Celine had made plans to spend her wedding anniversary with Xavier at the orphanage, but the whole incident with Zack had made her halt her plans. She thought it would no longer be possible to celebrate it with him seeing as he wanted her to travel out of the country. But now that things were settled, her plans were back on track, she had spoken with Mama Lisa the night before and she had confirmed that things were still in place, all Celine had to do was to show up with Xavier.She looked up to see Xavier enjoying his breakfast wholeheartedly. He looked much more relaxed right now that he wasn't thinking about his job. She loved that she was able to enjoy moments like this with him."I'm going to be picking out your outfit for today," Celine told him. She had gotten them both matching outfits. She had gone for casual yet classy looks.She got them both a pair of white cargo pants each and specially customized hoodies, hers read "Mrs" and his read "Mr". They would accessorize their o
YES I DO? Xavi, You're home
"Come home soon, i miss you 💓" Celine's text read. Xavier smiled when the screen of his phone lit up with that text. He was on him way home, later than usual. He knew she was going to be asleep by the time he got home. His wife was an early bird. She always went to bed early and woke up early. Her body clock never skips or misses it's scheduled and even at times when he came home late and she tried waiting uo for him to come back he usually met her asleep in the living room with the lights on and the TV playing in the background. This was one of the reasons he adjusted his schedule to make sure he mostly went home before her bedtime. He would always try his possible best to make sure he kissed her goodnight before she went to bed. But tonight wasn't one of those nights thanks to Zack's mischievous acts.Thinking back to Zack, Xavier's anger returned. He would have done worse than cut off his fingers before handing him off to the government, but he didn't because he knew Celine wouldn
YES I DO? Come home soon, I miss you 💓
"You should have told me about the letters," Xavier said, his voice low and angry. "I could have done something to protect you and the baby. Why didn't you tell me?" Celine stood silently, her head bowed, unable to meet her husband's eyes. She knew he was right - she should have told him. But she had been afraid of what he might do if he knew the truth."I'm sorry," Celine said, her voice trembling, Xavier had never been angry at her for this long, so why now? "I know I should have told you. I was just...afraid. Afraid of what you might do, and afraid of what might happen to you if you got involved." She took a deep breath, and looked up at her husband, her eyes pleading. "I'm so sorry, I just...I was scared." Xavier's expression softened, and he reached out to take his wife's hand. "I understand," he said. "I can't promise I won't be angry, but I promise I won't do anything rash." The tension between them has eased a bit, but there's still a lot to talk about. Celine speaks first,
YES I DO? It wasn't your fault
Zack kept hitting the car window signaling to Celine to open it. "You have nowhere else to run to" he screamed from outside.Celine could feel her anger boiling at this point, why was he after her life so bad... what was it that she owed him that he tortured her so much with his existence. Picking her phone from her car's dashboard, she hurriedly dialed Xavier's number. Zack sensed that she was calling for help so he brought out a hammer from his pocket and started hitting the car window with it. "Come out of the car, Celine" he said while hitting the window, there was a crack on the window and he kept hitting.Xavier picked up the call as soon as it went through "Celine?".. he called from the other end of the line, he could hear her breathing heavily from her end of the line, he stood abruptly from the end of the desk where he sat, the meeting needed to stop, his wife needed him. "What is it?" He was beginning to hear the sound of glass smashing. "Where are you?"Celine was aware th
YES I DO? You must think you have an option...
"I'm pregnant?..." Celine asked, eyes wide opened in shock…she couldn't believe she was going to be a mom very soon."Yes baby…we are having a baby…" Xavier responded, holding her tighter."This is the best news ever!!"Celine's joy knew no bounds, she was finally living the life she had always dreamed of, she could imagine seeing her kid smiling into her eyes….she squealed at the thought."I'm so happy for us Celine…"Xavier started to say "But we might have a little problem" He said, bursting the bubble.Celine signed as her shoulders sunk down, she knew what the problem was, it was Zack. She was beginning to wonder just how foolish and naive she must have been to have been in love with him once upon a time. How come she didn't see all his red flags. He was so sweet when they were together until things went sour and he became an alcoholic."You must have seen the news too.." she told her husband. "He wouldn't dare come near me." Celine said, half mindedly, she knew that what she said
YES I DO? "we're having a baby"
Zack was sitting on the floor in his jailroom, his jaw was supporting his chin, he was lost in thoughts. He had been writing letters to Celine from the prison; he was wondering if she got any of the numerous letters he had sent. He was sure he got the address correctly. It wasn't easy getting her new address, he had to write to lots of other people who knew her before one of them finally gave in and let him in on her new address. It was in a fancy neighborhood but Zack didn't care, all he wanted was to get through to Celine. Their plan had to still be in place, right? He was thinking, "all she had with the rich kid was just a facade…" he murmured to himself."Bang!!" There was a loud bang coming from outside his cell… Zack jumped up with a start, he didn't know what to do? Was there a riot? He moved towards the cell gate and tried peeking through the bars….he could see the prison guards shuffling through…they were angrily hitting the bars with their batons…Zack hastily removed his han
YES I DO? False Alarm
He was biting at his nails… they weren't neat, dirt had found its way into the gap between the nail and the flesh of his finger but he didn't care, he was lost in thought. Time was ticking, the moment was drawing near and nearer. Finally, all that he had suffered for was finally going to be worth it, all he needed was a reason to finally leave this hellhole of a place. He needed to cause a distraction, one big enough to enable him to slip away from this place without being seen, after that all he needed was a simple conversation with Celine and that would be it, the end of Xavier Smith. 'if only Xavier knew what was coming to him' Zack thought and snickered devilishly."Hey, Inmate 5467, it's time for duty" a prison Warden called from outside his cell room, snapping him out of his wild imagination. Zack gave a hiss at the unwarranted interruption but he had no choice but to oblige. After all, being a model inmate was all part of the plan. 5 MONTHS LATER… .Celine woke up with a split
