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

YES I DO? 💌Sweet Dreams 💌
Celine murmured cuss words at Zack as she made her way to her room. How dare he waltz in and ruined her mood for the night? Who the hell does he think he is?During her date with Xavier, she curiously asked him what it was that changed his mind about her, he played her the voice recording of Maria admitting to have paid Susan to frame Celine. He also mentioned that he had gotten the proof from an anonymous account.Celine’s mind had gone to Zack’s text saying she was welcomed.

YES I DO? I killed a man Celine, I am a murderer

I mean I’m okay”His voice was shaky and Celine sensed fear in it. What was he afraid of?Celine didn’t push it though, he would probably tell her at the right time.“There’s something about me that I think you deserve to know” Xavier starts. His palms were beginning to sweat, he was nervous he didn’t know how to tell her about his dark past and highest of all, he was afraid how she was going to react. What if he says something wrong?Celine shifts to look him in the eyes, she could see that he was very nervous about telling her. She wondered what could be so bad. Seeing his behav

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.

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
