Celine felt destroyed after what she had gone through in her first marriage. Her ex-husband abused her and did a lot of despicable things to her, and now her father's law firm was on the verge of collapse. The only solution her father could do was to marry her off to a proud and arrogant billionaire baron, David Wheelers who only agreed to help Celine’s father invest in his law firm as Celine's father was also their family lawyer, but he didn't do it for free, he wanted Celine in return as a wife so he could inherit his father's legacy by producing an heir as stapled in the will. Celine found herself drawn to her arrogant and cold husband despite the trauma of her first marriage. “What would happen when her past is linked with her present?” “Would she be able to overcome her trauma from the past and move on, despite her ex-husband trying to have her back?” “Or would she be able to break the ice-cold baron? showing him that love truly exists".

Days turned into weeks and after two days, they were to do the children's welcoming party.Celine had made a lot of preparations towards it. She had made purchases of some necessary things.She had gotten two outfits each, for the children,bought a pair of shoes and also an outfit for herself.Her mother-in-law and husband told her they have an outfit to wear for the party ,so she concentrated on the menu and drinks for that day.David wanted the party to be done at the hotel,but Celine insisted the party should be done in their home.Celine was in the garden with her mother in-law and the children, discussing the events of the party when David came in.“Welcome sweetheart,” Celine said as he greeted them.“Are you not supposed to be at work now?”the Baroness said.“Yes,” David said, kissing his mum and Celine on the cheek.“But things have gone ba
David shifted to her so that he was seated close to her,he soundlessly and slowly leaned towards her.In his eyes,she saw her own needs.A reflection of desires,showing that she was ready,which she had ignored all this while since she gave birth.Her eyes were steady in his eyes and her pulses scrambled erratically,this always happens to her when David touched her,it was as if she had just crossed the finish line of a long and vigorous race.David touched her face,and cupped it. He was looking at her at the same time as if he wanted to mold the shape of her face in his mind,to remember her always.Her breath caught,then released,the trembling of passion was all over her.Slowly deliberately,he spread his fingers so that his palm slid over her neck,then her jawline and finally her cheekbones.She couldn't prevent a quick gasp as he put his hands on her hair and pulled her head back gent
Celine had to adjust herself properly on the bed to hear what David was saying.“Why would you do that sweetheart,or are you teasing me?”“I am not teasing you Celine,I have really employed her back to my company,she starts work by tomorrow.”“Why would you do that David,you know that woman is trouble especially for our relationship and you took her in again,Celine said,disbelief written all over her face.”“Don't be like that darling,listen to why I had to take her back first," David said.“Why should I listen to you?”Celine said she was very furious with David for making a decision which he knew would affect their relationship.This is a woman who would do anything to be in her shoes right now and she was not going to put up with that.Arabella is not a woman one should be lenient with,if Arabella sees an opportunity to destroy their relationship,she would take it immediately without
"I am going to my room son.I took some drugs before dinner and it's making me drowsy," the baroness said.“It's fine mother,I think it's better you go to sleep.”“Me and Celine will see the babies and make sure they are fed before going to bed.”“Ok son,goodnight my dear,she said.“Goodnight mother,” Celine said.“Goodnight my dear," her mother in-law answered.“How was your day darling?” David asked Celine as his mother went upstairs.“My day was good sweetheart,”I was really busy with the kids.”‘Yes l saw that when I came in this evening,but sometimes dear,allow the maids to handle them,so you could rest,”“It shouldn't be all the time you are at their beck and call,my love.”“I know what you mean sweetheart, and that is why I want to talk to you about something that will benefit the kids.”“I am all ears darling,” David said.
Truly,with Arabella's help,he would be able to go back up at a faster pace, and that was exactly what he was thinking of before she came in. It was as if she was sent to him,to help solve the situation of the company at present.He thought of how Celine and his mother would feel,hearing that Arabella was back to his company.He thought of the situation and the feelings that Arabella has for him,but his company needs her services now and he would not sacrifice his company for something he thinks he can control as he doesn't have any feelings for Arabella.He stood up from his seat and went over to where Arabella was seated on the sofa.Stretching his hand,he said.”Welcome back to the company, Arabella.”“What!” Arabella exclaimed,smiling and at the same time bewildered.She shook David's outstretched hand.“Do you mean it David?” She asked.
The week was running out as Celine continued with the normal routine of feeding her babies.They were growing so well and were also looking very healthy .Her mother in law helped her in the way she could because she doted on her grandchildren,but mostly,the maids were there to help her out.***The days passed quickly and David had gone back to the routine of work again.He was hardly home,except in the evenings. To David,his business had been neglected far too long.Being a CEO, especially in a glass industry or company one should have a clear direction in which to steer their business.David knew he had to be responsible for setting the company's direction,overseeing operations and making critical decisions that can impact the business future,while also representing the company's publicity.Some of these were neglected when he was under police custody during
When they reached the mansion,they were welcomed by the baroness who was so happy that her grandchildren had arrived.She had made sure that the whole house was decorated by flowers to celebrate the arrival of her grandchildren.As Celine and David stepped out with the children the baroness went forward to greet them.“Ahh,my lovely grandchildren are here,”the baroness said.“Yes mother,they are finally home,”David said.The baroness went towards Celine and hugged her on her shoulders.“You have done well my dear daughter,”she said.Celine was happy her mother in-law addressed her as daughter.“Thank you mother,”she said.“Let us go inside quickly,my grandchildren shouldn't be under the sun for long,” the baroness said.“Yes that is true,” David said and went inside the house and Celine followed suit with the other baby.
The following day they woke up feeling strong and healthy,especially Celine.When the doctor came for a checkup Celine had to ask him if she could go home.“Doctor,” Celine asked,”can I go home today?”“Based on your report here,” the doctor said,looking at the document in his hand,”you are fit to be at home but I still want you to wait a bit till in the afternoon okay,”“It is fine, doctor,” David said.”We will wait here a bit till the afternoon.”“Good,”the doctor said,”this is just to observe you more.”He told the nurse to arrange their discharge papers.After the doctors and nurses were out,David went out to get tea for Celine and also some sandwiches.When he came back, she already had her shower and was breastfeeding the babies.David watched her as she put each child to her breast one at a time,he was so fascinated to witness that because he noticed that
Tears gushed out of her eyes filling her eyes, but she made no sound, as the tears cascaded down her cheeks, this was her silent cries, displaying her shattered soul.Knock, knock! Knock!Someone was at the door, she turned her face quickly to the mirror that was in front of her and cleaned her eyes, dashing her face with some powder in her makeup kit.Who is it? She answered with a shaky voice that was still muffled with tears.It was her father, he pushed the door with a tray in his hand and used his leg to close back the door.“My princess! He said with great affection, “I saw the maid bringing the coffee over to you, so l offered to help”.“How are you holding on my dear”, he probed, seeing that she had been crying again, no matter how she tried to cover it up.“I am fine Dad, but Dad, is there no other way to save your law firm, than for me to be the sacrificial lamb?”.“Oh my ...
