It was exactly 2.00PM when she reached Jomo Kenyatta International airport in Kenya, she had been there so many times but this time round it felt like her heart was being plucked away from her chest.Why was she still hesitating to leave the city? There was nothing important still keeping her in Nairobi. May be she could have stayed if Jared was around, but there was no turning back.While still in a deep thought she saw a shadow of a tall figure nearing where she was standing, she looked up and met another set of blues eyes, except that this time round it wasnโt Jared but her father in person.She didnโt recall last time they met but now that she was staring at him with a clear mind she noticed how handsome the man was.โBaby, why the look on your face? Come on I know it is not easy to leave all this behind but very soon you will see that you have made the right choice. I know you will miss Alma, God knows how glad I am that it was her who raised you up and I couldnโt have asked for
After all it wasnโt going to be easy to be able to bond with her father, but so far they are doing very well that she never could have imagined.All the billionaires were always cold and unapproachable, how was it that the man was so warm to her? It is because she was his daughter? Or was it because he was trying to bring her closer? Anyway she will soon get to find out the mystery behind the man.In less than 20 minutes they had already reached the Mombasa airport and a vehicle had been arranged waiting for their arrival. Immediately the driver saw Patrick, he came running towards them and helped Celine to carry her luggage.โWelcome sirโ the man greeted.โIs everything ready? I want to go home immediately and please if I may requests, take the shortest road possible because I donโt want my daughter to get tired through the famous traffic, okay. In fact drive towards the road that passes near the amusement park. I think now there are not many motorists passing through it.โโI unders
โIt is okay Dad, whatever you have prepared for me is just enough and I already appreciate from the bottom of my heart. I feel a little tired can you just show me the room so that I can lie down for a bit. It is just that I am not used to all this travelling, I am a person who have stayed almost at the same place all my life.โ โOff course, but just for a short while, I wouldnโt want you to miss the dinner. Here at my house we usually take our dinner early so that everybody can have enough time to do other things. I hope you wonโt mind.โShe didnโt mind at all, she was already at their mercy and seeing the kind of glances the two people were giving her way she didnโt want to stay any more. So she was glad when her father led the way and showed her to a spacious room and announced that it was going to belong to her during her stay in the house. Immediately he left, she locked the door and went to lie down on the bed.She was worried and her head was hurting with all the uncertainty sh
โItโs already too late to do anything now, but I know with your beauty, you will be able to attract his attention. If he shows just a little interest in you then we are good to go. I can now approach Old. Madam Walker and talk to her a woman to woman and I know with our family reputation she will never deny me. All you have to do is package yourself well in an elegant manner that her grandson wonโt resist.โโThank you mum, I love you.โCeline couldnโt get properly what they were talking about but it seemed that somebody important was supposed to pick a future wife tomorrow and so April, her step sister was smitten by the person and wanted him with everything she has got. Any way she didnโt care, it was none of her business, As long as she had Jared, nothing mattered to her.โCeline, donโt just stand there, come on we are waiting for you so that we can start eating. Donโt worry about those two, they just like to talk so much, sometimes I wonder what they usually talks about. But I jus
Jemma took ahold of her daughterโs hands and left the living room. The atmosphere was so tense that the temperature shot up to over 40 degrees Celsius. She should have known that she was just jumping from the pan to the fire. What should she do now?โJemma come back here, we are not done talking and you shouldnโt be walking out on me like that. What kind of an example are you showing to the kids? Ohโฆ. this woman, I hate the day that I met you. I donโt even know why I married you in the first place when all you ever do is to cause trouble all the time. One of these days I will divorce and letโs see if you will still have the guts to be disrespectful to me like that.โBut they just ignored him and walked to the bedroom and closed the door. If a very powerful man can be treated like that by them, what about an insignificant woman like her? Wonโt they skin her alive? They couldnโt do anything now because her father was available, what will happen the day that she will be left alone with t
If they knew that I have no interest whatsoever in those spoilt women, they will get even more disappointed than they are already. So my best bet is to really pretend that I am in this with all my heart and soul while deep inside I feel disgusted by having to look at some other lady apart from my Celine.Talking about Celine, I wonder what she is up to. Lately I havenโt even got enough time to call her as I used to when I first came to Mombasa. I canโt help asking myself where she is? What she is doing and with whom? Is she alright?Off course I know that she might be really offended by my absence but what could I have done. Soon after I am done with all this nonsense I will look for her and give her all my attention. Even if I still have to stay here in Mombasa I will go to Nairobi just to embrace and kiss her .I miss her scent and sweetness each and every passing day.โChild what has got you thinking so hard like that?โ He was brought back from his thoughts when he heard his grandfa
โAlright my beautiful family let us meet tomorrow at the occasion as for now I have to attend to my office duty calls, okay. Be good to each other and donโt scold one another for no particular issue. I love you bothโ He said and excited the mansion.Immediately he reached outside the house his calm and collected aura changed in to a deadly frown on his face, he didnโt like the implication of his grandparents that he was going to live in Mombasa.However he couldnโt back down right now, he had already promised them and it would be so disrespectful and shameful to go back on his word. Beside the occasion has already been postponed and people invited had been really patient and he couldnโt bear to disappoint them. His name matters a lot in this situation and he didnโt want it tarnished just because of this stupidity.โBoss is something wrong with you? Is your grandmother alright?โ Mason asked as soon as he saw him come out from the house.โDo I look okay to you dummy, donโt just ask me t
โMother donโt worry, we will know in due time, besides Why are you so impatient? All I asked for was just a little more time so that we can get over with other things, okay.โโYes Danna, he is right, just give him time to tell us the way he wants to. Sometimes it is good to have a different person from outside so that he can give us his honest opinion of how things are doing here. We can be satisfied that operations are okay but that is not what it looks like when proper auditing is doneโ Director Gavin said.โSo you people here are taking his side, do you mean that I have been stealing money and that is why you want to audit me?โ Danna asked furiously.โ Let me enlighten all of you, I know what I am doing with this company and I have the best vision for its success, so there is no way that I would want to bring it down. All of you should think about the next words that will come from your mouths very carefully.โโIs that a threat? All my colleagues are saying is that whenever a compa
โWatch your words, idiot. I love weddings and not all the marriages go wrong. I believe in Lina and me. Alright โฆ. shut up already โIvan scolded.Jared grinned at the two with a triumphant face.โI am just kidding. Anyway, I am happy for the both of you. Make this lovely woman happy. โJared said and then left to say hello to Alexis and Jason. He hasnโt found time to visit them and so he was glad to catch up with them.Back at the other corner, the boys were chatting when they saw two beautiful women entering inside the hall. They knew that they were Linaโs recently found cousins. She introduced them when they went on one of their evenings out on which the boys and the girls were present.Nolan grabbed Ritaโs hands and pulled her aside. He hasnโt stopped to fantasize about her. Ever since he saw her, she was all that he could think about day and night . He knew that if he didnโt do something ASAP, he was going to lose his second chance at finding love. He wanted to settle down and have
โOf course, this is a fucking yes. Let us make another baby. May be, she will be a girl so that your grandmother can tell me her name.โ Celine said with affectionShe had grown to love Old Madam Walker so much and she wanted to please her. She was the only grandmother that she has.โOr maybe he will be another boy and my grandmother wonโt hesitate to kick your assโ Jared joked as Celine wrapped her hands around his neck. โ Anyway, you could have simply asked me to tell you her name. You are just being silly, sweetie.โ Jared whispered in her ears while nibbling on them. She so fucking liked the excitement that she was getting from the simple gesture.โOkay, wherever โฆa child is a child and as long as he/she will be yours, it doesnโt matter the gender. Anyway, I wanted grandma to tell me her name herself. Can we get to the business because I am ovulating and this is the best time to conceive?โHuhโฆโฆโ he hummed and then started kissing her furiously. Before they knew it, they were lyin
After the incidence, Celine didnโt go out much. She would spend her time at home taking care of Isaac. It was a good thing that Alma was still around and she was helping with the management of the N.C Corporation in Mombasa. Ever since Alma came to Mombasa, Celineโs uncle, Lucas Nelson found his way to manage the Nairobi branch. Finally, he got his hands on his late brotherโs company the moment Alma left.Alma said that she was too old to fight with him so she gave up to raise her grandchildren. Nothing was more important than Isaac and Celine. She would give up just anything for their sake and she would sacrifice her career for them.In the evening, Jared came back from work. He was looking at her funnily and she didnโt know what he had in his crazy mind.โSweetheart, spill it. I almost died the other day you know โup to now, she was still traumatized at the thought of April and her mother getting to them. She had thought that the two had learned their lesson but apparently, they de
But the police were on their trail shooting from all directions. They tried but they couldnโt match up to the number of the police that was sent to pursue them.Buy accident the tires busted after being hit by the bullet and before they knew it, they were thrown in to the man-made lake on the side of the tarmac road. The police surrounded the lake from all sides to prevent them from escaping and by the time that the car had been pulled out, the both of them were already dead.Joel was hit on the chest and was unconscious when he was found and taken to the hospital When he woke up, Patrick was by his side and he couldnโt believe the state that he was in. He was no longer the babbly and healthy Joel that he used to know. He was thin and pale. He looked like he had aged a bit and Patrick couldnโt bear to look at him.โOhโฆ. Joel. what have you done to yourself? I told you that it wouldnโt end up well for you. Those two were snakes. I lived with them and I knew them very well. why didnโt
โDaddy, life is too short to keep on having unnecessary beef. Look at what happened to Jared, he has forgiven Nolan and his mother. It was like they were never the people that he hated with his life. He is now at peace with himself. I wish you could see him today. He is not the Jared we used to know. Always angry and sad. Please just hear him out, he might be having something important to tell you.โ Celine begged.She always had a way of reaching out to him. Patrick felt sad suddenly. Celine was right in a way. All this time, it has been eating him up like hell. He wouldnโt be at peace knowing that his only brother was suffering while he enjoyed life and had such a wonderful family.Perhaps it was time to hear him out once and for all.As if on a cue, Joel called again and this time, he picked it up.โJoel, what do you want?โ he asked emotionlessly.โListen, I donโt have much time to talk or explain things but your life and Celineโs s life is in danger. Your car is being followed an
After a few days, Celine went to visit her dad. It has been long since she saw him. Patrick Rowan was happy nowadays. Together with Iris, they were trying to build the pieces of their life back together and she couldnโt help but admire their spirit.It was admirable. Finally, life had granted the two of them another chance to experience good days. Gone are the days that her father would be insulted like a little kid. Gone are the days that she would look at his loneliness and wished that she could take his place.โDaddyโฆโ She called as soon as she saw him.โBabyโ Patrick hasnโt forgotten how he used to call her and he had maintained it to the end. Iris only smiled loving the way the two loved each other. She knew that she could never match up to them but as long as Celine was happy, then she had nothing to worry about.โMum, how are you?โ She asked as she kissed her cheeks.โI am great dear. I am happy to hear the good news that Jared reconciled with his family. Now you are going to
โWhy not my sweet little daughter in law. I love you and remember that we are only focusing on the future. No more dramas or immature behavior from me, I want to be a good mother and a grandmother, okay. You made my son happy and that is why I will have you as my daughter in law. Thank you.โโNoโฆ. Thank you for giving me such a good man as my husband. โCeline smiled as she looked at Jared and his father.โOscar, congratulations on your wedding. I never came to the ceremony.โ Celine cracked a joke and the family laughed about it.โNo, it was a quick one and I am glad that I made that decision. You should have seen how my wife was aggressive with me but who is smiling now? I want her to know that despite what has happened between us, I am glad that she gave me a beautiful family. I never even dreamt that I will one day become a grandfather. Thank you, darling, I love you from the bottom of my heart.โI love you right back โDanna smiledโNo need to talk anymore. I want to celebrate with
Enzo gladly went and together they hugged their mother consuming her in to an embrace that stole her soul all over again.โEnzo, baby. I love you so much. You two are my life right now. โ Danna muttered as she kissed Enzo on the cheeks. The man chuckled as he replied โ I love you too Mommy and I love that we can now be a normal family with Jared . OhโฆI waited for this day for so long, damn it . I wanted to tell my brother that I didnโt mean to cause him trouble in the past. All that I wanted was for him to notice me and consider me as his brother but he was so full of hate that I didnโt know how to reach out to him. โโI am so sorry for my behavior in the past. I am the one who should be asking for forgiveness. I was jealous for the love that our mother gave you. You have to understand that I watched you have everything that I didnโt. so, I found myself hating you even when I knew that you were innocent but it wonโt happen again because I will never break up my family. I couldnโt
โCome here, sweetie.โ Old Mr. Gavin called. Did she hear it right? was this arrogant man calling her sweetie? When did he start to grow fond of her? wonders shall never end. Danna was now being pampered by the very people who loathed her in the past.โMmhโฆ.are you calling Oscar? โShe asked dumbfound.โNoโฆ.it is you, Danna. Why should I call that bastard that denied me a chance to be with my grandkids like an idiot? Does he even deserve for me to pamper him?โ the man snarled. โDad, you are being unfair and you know it. I also suffered, why must you complain and blame me for everything bad in our lives? โOscar complained.โI love you son , but sometimes you let me down. I am just going to bear with you because Jared has finally come to me. I can feel it that he has decided to come home, something that should have happened earlier if not for your incompetence. Listen, I know that you havenโt been a good mother to him but the most important thing is that you are trying to make it up t
