2024-10-24 18:29:29"Come my dear”, the baroness beckoned to her as Celine came downstairs and moved towards her.
She looked at a big oak table, well decorated and befitting of a palace. She was sure different varieties of food were laid on it by the servants. Celine smiled politely and sat at the seat the baroness pointed. “What would you have?" she said, "or would you wait for your husband?” Oh! There he comes, she announced, smiling at her son. Celine looked up to see David's tall handsome form, he was wearing a green t-shirt that seemed to hug his body and brought out his muscular chest. He went over, kissed his mother's cheek and sat close to Celine. “Mother, how is your health? You are not too tired” he said calmly. “No my dear”, she said. “I had a little rest and am fine now”. “Good to hear that,” he said "I am happy you are fine”. Celine was listening to mother and son's conversation, he smelled of men's cologne, strong but still pleasant, she liked it, she thought. “Are you going to the office tomorrow?”, the baroness asked. “You should have a two-day break, you just got married, you know:” you need to be a responsible husband”. She said it with a wink at Celine which made her blush. David looked towards Celine, his eyes running over her, as she was seated quietly. “Blue colour suits you well,” he said, making her blush deepen. “What do you have to say, Celine?” He said with a deep voice that sounded as if he was mocking her. She looked up at him reluctantly, this was the first time he uttered her name. He grinned suddenly! Celine gazed at him in awe. A smile seemed to light up his face, she never knew he looked charming when he smiled. “I feel if you have more important work to do in the office, you should go”. She was startled as she saw him frown at her answer. “Of course not Celine”, the baroness said,” he has to stay home for two days”. “It's fine Mother, I will do as you say”. He gave Celine a mocking look as he knew she was trying to avoid him. Celine looked towards the baroness and smiled at her. “It's okay ma'am”, she said. “Call me mother', the baroness said as she smiled back warmly. “Okay mother”, Celine uttered. “I am going to the study," David said after a while eating their dinner. “I have some phone calls to make”, he pushed his chair aside and walked towards the left side of the house to his study, closing the door behind him with a clink. “I hope you are getting used to the house my dear?”, the baroness said. “Yes Mother; Celine answered, the mansion is beautiful and huge, it will take days to get used to it.” “Yes my dear you have all the time so take your time, it's your house now”. “Thank you mother”, she said. The baroness stood up and excused herself. “I have to go and rest Celine, it's been a long day my dear”. “Welcome once again my dear”, she said with a smile, opening her arms to hug Celine. “Thank you mother”, Celine hugged her also. “Good Night Mother! “Good night my dear! ********* In the study, David sat in his chair and picked up the telephone. He had to make a phone call to his secretary, Arabella. she was a good secretary, she understood how he worked and he wouldn't want to change her, although she had her flaws sometimes, coupled with the advances she made at him which he always ignored. He would have married her but he kept their relationship strictly professional as he wasn't attracted to her. He called her and arranged some meetings in two days. Staying away from the office for two days was a long break for him, he found solace in working after he was cheated on by his fiancee and his best friend. He was lucky they eloped on the day before the wedding and not on the wedding day, saving him some embarrassment. He knew his fiance was extravagant and materialistic, but he never knew she would have eyes for his best friend from France, who was a business tycoon and was richer than David. It took his mother's soothing words and care to help him get over the betrayal and also making himself a workaholic to soothe his pain, but he was over it now and he swore that no woman would be allowed to come close to his heart again. It took a lot of coaxing from his mother to finally convince him about getting married because it was stapled in his father's will that he has to be married before the age of thirty-eight to produce an heir, to inherit his father's legacy, and he was thirty-six now, he wasn't getting younger. He didn't mind any woman, but he had fate in his mother's choice as she chose Celine who was the daughter of their family lawyer. He wasn't concerned much about her father's problems at his law firm, investing in the law firm was not an issue for him, but he hoped his wife would not be a clingy type, he would hate that, he just wanted a strong woman who would fulfil her duties as a wife, and also produces an heir. Dammit! he exclaimed loudly. Thinking about that made his eyebrows raise, he went to the small fridge beside his table and poured himself a drink. He was aware of how attractive she looked, and he knew he could be lost when he touched her, but the temptation was much. Oh my! “What is she doing to him?” Looking down at the wine bottle he was surprised to see he had almost finished it. He returned it to the fridge, turned off the light and went upstairs to his room. ******** Celine looked around her environment as the baroness left. Chandeliers were lit and looked Beautiful. The room looks very huge to occupy a lot of people for dinner, but there is a gloom to it that shows there has been dullness for a long time. She stood up and moved upstairs to her room, took a toothbrush and brushed her teeth, then she opened her suitcase to put her things in the wardrobe. The first thing she saw was her purple long nightgown. She put it on, wore a robe over it, and continued to hang the rest of the clothes. She anticipated how her first night married again would be, she didn't know what David expected of her, but she was grateful for this second chance at marriage She noticed that David was polite but aloof. “Does he take this marriage as a contract?” she thought aloud. Anyway, she shrugged, she's happy she could help her father secure his law firm and also boost his career, but for herself, she would just try to make herself happy despite her husband's cold and indifferent attitude. She took out the last piece of clothing which was a navy blue suit and hung it on the wardrobe. Closing the wardrobe she saw someone standing and looking at her from the doorway. “My God!” she exclaimed.

"You frightened me!"She said accusingly with a hand on her chest which was beating fast, when she saw it was David.He looked at her with narrowed eyes and strolled into the room.“Am sorry, but you were so busy that I didn't want to disturb you”.“Are you ready for bed?” he drawled.The way he said it casually made a hot flush run over her face and weaken her knees.She looked at him as he removed his shirt and went to the other side of the bed.With a raised eyebrow he asked.“Coming?”“I….l….thought you would sleep on the sofa”, she stammered.By now, her body was emitting different conflicting emotions, it was like a mix of embarrassment and confusion.“Why would l sleep on the sofa? This is my room, and we are married, aren't we?”He chuckled!Hearing the sound made shivers run down her spine.“Come here, Cel

"My dear son!” the baroness stretched her hand and hugged her son as he came to kiss her good morning.“I would like to go to the stables later this morning Mother”, he announced.“That is good son”, she said,” it's a long time you ride your horse”.“Celine!, the baroness addressed her,” Do you know how to ride a horse?“Yes" She answered,” but it's been a while so I would need some help with the horse”.“Oh, you don't need to worry”, the baroness said,” David is an excellent horseman”, she proclaimed proudly.Celine looked at David and was tense as he looked at her with an indifferent expression.“Mother!" he turned to his mother once again,”l cannot be teaching someone how to ride, you know I just wanted some air”, he said gruffly. “Yes, I know,” the baroness said,” Please take Celine along, the fresh air would do her good too".“Okay Mother, if you insist”, he said reluctantly.Looking at C

"These mountains are mostly found in Albania” he said with enthusiasm,” you can see such a view from here because we are close to them”.Celine looked towards the mountains which were covered with vegetation characterized by rocky terrain and deep gorges. She felt it provided an adventurous environment for exploration.She took a deep breath from the cool breeze and sighed with excitement seeing that David was excited too.It's good you like it, he said dismissively with a frown.“What had she done again?” she wondered,“Does he always change from one mood to the other?”After riding for a while, she stole a glance at him, noticing that he was quiet and distant.She pushed her horse closer and decided to tell him about her ex-husband Ray, to clear the air on that, she thought.“Ray, that was the name of my ex-husband, she explained, was a good man with ambition when we got married, but I

She woke up in the morning to see that David was up already.Coming back the day before, after riding the horses, he went to his study, making some phone calls, according to him.She didn't see him come to sleep at night, because she was asleep then, she also hardly saw him throughout yesterday,She wondered if he was avoiding her.She got up reluctantly and looked around the room, except for the sheets that were crumbled, one would think that David hadn't slept in the room last night.She went to the bathroom to take a shower, wondering where her husband had disappeared.Going downstairs, she saw that no one was there, except for a maid cleaning the table.“Good morning my lady”, she greeted“Good morning,” Celine answered.“Where is everyone?” she asked.“Mr Wheelers has gone to the office while Mrs Wheelers is still in her room”, the maid answered.With a bow, sh

She took the blue Ferrari which David had instructed her to drive whenever she wanted to go out.Her dress was corporate, a blue suit over a black camisole that brought out the beauty of her eyes.As she reached the building, she was astonished by the striking appearance of the company. It was huge and prominent, and she couldn't believe she was married to its owner.A security man directed her to the car pack, she packed the car and went inside the building.Inside, she was told to present her ID card, which she did before she was allowed in.She went to the receptionist and asked about the CEO.She was told to wait while the receptionist made a phone call.Ma'am please what is your name, she asked.Mrs Celine Wheelers, she replied.The receptionist raised her brow but composed herself quickly, putting down the phone she directed Celine to the sixth floorCeline thanked her and took the lift.

Celine walked down towards her car and she noticed a shopping mall close to the company and decided to go there to do some shopping before she went home.She would buy a scarf or shawl for her mother."l know mother would like that", she muttered to herself smiling as she walked down.She removed every thought of David's attitude and indifference from her mind.She wouldn't give up, she thought, after all, she was his wife and she had to make this second marriage work even if David showed indifference to her.A mistake must not be repeated twice, one should always take caution after an experience.She started humming to herself as she entered the shopping mall.***David looked remorseful as he watched her go, he stood up to go after her, but he stopped himself quickly."How can he, the CEO of the wheelers company, run after a woman?"He looked curiously at the lunch pack and opened it, as he saw th

Celine reached the reception area but didn't see anyone.“Hello, anyone here?” she called outBut no one answered her.“That's strange”, she thought to herself.Just as she was about to move out, someone grabbed her from behind again as she was about to open the door to the mall to go out.She turned, and her heart started beating fast again as she noticed a gun pointed at her head.Turning as she raised her hands, she saw other two men with masks at the corner of the building pointing guns at the cashier and attendants who were all piled in one corner.The man pointing the gun at her shoved her with a push to sit where the other customers sat on the ground, with another man pointing a gun at them.Celine sat there quietly with others knowing that she was in trouble, entering the wrong place at the wrong time.Looking around, she saw that they were robbers trying to steal money from the cashier. By the way, they were nervous; she guessed they

When did it happen?”“Am sorry, I didn't know she was going to enter the garden and sit there,you see the garden has been unkempt for sometime and the new gardener comes in after a month," Celine's father said.“Anyway we are in the hospital.”David hung up the phone and his heartbeat accelerated. He couldn't believe Celine was in danger,and was fighting for her life in the hospital.He barely grasped the name of the hospital from his father in-law,all he wanted to do at that moment was to be at his wife's side.He stood up shaking and took his car keys and phone on his desk.As he stepped out, the new secretary that took over from Arabella was at the office besides his own,he quickly asked David what was wrong,seeing David's worried expression.David told him to take care of the office and not to worry.As he drove,he was so lucky tha

David was not himself for some time now,after Celine had left the house with the kids,the house was not the same for him anymore.The night before seemed endless,he tossed and turned until he was sure he had worn a hole in the mattress.Sleep refused to relieve him,he wrestled with his thoughts,his feelings for Celine,his love for his children…..But now,he had to make a decision and that was what he was about to do as he sat in his office.He had already sent for Arabella through the intercom,and was waiting for her to come in.“You sent for me David?” Arabella said as she came inside David's office.“Yes I did,”David said,”please sit down Arabella.”As Arabella sat down,David used just a minute to finish up what he was doing on his laptop.“Arabella,”he said as he raised up his head.“I know what I'm about to say might upset you,but you have to look at the brigh

Celine stood by the pool at her father's house.She watched the water in the pool as it was calm.She wished her life was as calm as the water.She remembered when she came to the house the day before and hugged her father,she couldn't prevent the tears from falling as her father consoled her.She watched later as he doted on his grandchildren before they all went inside the house.Her father had already told his housekeeper to prepare a room for Celine and the children.He made sure they cooked her favourite dish and allowed her to relax well and enjoy the food without asking her any questions.She was surprised because this was the third day and he hasn't said anything to her.“My princess,”Celine turned quickly to the sound of her Dad's voice,he was coming towards her as she stood by the side of the pool.“Father, you shouldn't have come down here to look for

Looking at Celine,for a while,David saw that she was serious.He knows that the way he feels and relates with Arabella,others don't do the same as they don't understand their relationship.“But why would you say that Celine,I have never given you any reason to doubt me in handling this matter.”“You know I am not having an affair with Arabella,and I told you I will handle the matter.”“I will also make sure Arabella doesn't come to this house anymore.”“That is what you would always say,but after a while you will see her here again.”Celine said.“I don't know why we are still arguing about this woman? Especially after what she did.”“This woman would not stop till she has you in her life David and I can see that you are trying to make things so easy for her,”Celine said.“I am not making things easy for her Celine,I am just trying to handle this situation in a

David was so embarrassed about what had just happened,he can remember Celine vividly as she warned him against Arabella. It seems he was the only one that trusted Arabella blindly and this was the consequence.He entered the room but couldn't find Celine.He went towards the bathroom door and knocked.“Celine,darling, please come out," he said,"I would like us to talk.”“There is nothing to talk about,” Celine said inside the bathroom,she really didn't want to face him now.“Please darling,I know I have really hurt you by what you saw,” David said.“Please just come out ,so we can talk, my dear,”David said.Celine reluctantly came outside and David wanted to hold her,but she avoided him.“Stay away from me! “David, please don't touch me.”“Why Celine?

Everyone in the room was startled. David was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say to his mother. Immediately Arabella burst into tears. “What is wrong?” the Baroness asked again. “Why is Arabella crying?” “It's nothing,’’ Celine said," mother,let us go to the living room.” Before the Baroness could turn as she too knew it was an awkward situation, Arabella composed herself quickly and said. “Ma'am,I am sorry for everything but I and David slept together as we were both drunk.” The Baroness stood there in shock,as she heard what Arabella said. “What do you mean Arabella,that is a shameful act and you are bold to tell me to my face!” The baroness looked at David with eyes which were quite disappointed. “Am sorry ma'am,” Arabella said, “please forgive me ma'am

"My God!” She exclaimed loudly.“What is the meaning of this?”The sight she saw was making her more furious as her face was boiling with rage.On the bed she saw Arabella wrapped in David's arms and it looked as if David was holding her also as she laid in his arms.Arabella was looking as if she just woke up from a deep sleep and David was still sleeping.Celine went towards the bed angrily and held David's arm,trying to wake him and pull him out of the bed.“David,”she called,patting him on the shoulders,so he could wake up.“Why don't you leave him to sleep," Arabella said,”you can see he is exhausted after our…..“Shut up!” Celine shouted,as she stretched her hand towards Arabella and slapped her hard on the face.The sound of the slap could be heard in the dark hallway.Arabella fell back on the bed not expecting the slap Celine gave her.
