LOGINCELINE We took the elevator and went down. I had to get inside Nicholas' car while he drove but I noticed that this was not the car he was driving last night. Memories from last night became even clearer in my head now. That night, I didn't hit a tree, it was Nicholas' car that took the hit. My car collided with his, or else I would have probably ended up dead. “Where is the car you drove last night?” I asked Nicholas and he looked at me. “What? You prefer that car to this?” He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He is deliberately acting like this and I know. Must he always take my words as a joke? “You know that is not what I am asking you,” I told him and he rubbed his temples before starting the car and he drove slowly towards the road. “Then what?” He asked me, his voice intimidating even without trying to. I didn't really know the best way to ask him because that would be me admitting that it was indeed him who came for my rescue. “Your car,” I said and fiddl
CELINE “Arrange a meeting with your so-called fiancé” I recalled Nicholas' words. I didn't even know when I gripped the side of my dress. “And you didn't have any fiancé, Celine!” I said aloud and gripped the edge of the table. My secretary ran inside hurriedly and I looked at her, confused, seeing the panic on her face. “Ma’am. I heard you shout. Are you okay?” She asked and I released my grip around the table. I smiled but I can swear that it definitely looked weird. “I'm fine Ava. You should go back.” I said and she nodded her head, turning to leave when I suddenly called her attention back to me. “Wait,” she stopped, turning to face me when she heard me. “I will be going home now. I heard all my schedules for the rest of the day have been cancelled.” I asked her to be sure if Nicholas was indeed not lying. “Yes ma’am. I was going to inform you about it but you had a guest inside.” Ava said and I whimpered softly. Just wow. One word from him and father actually agreed to
I drove the car to Thelma's house before we got to the gate. I looked back once more to check if the car was still following it but there was no sign of the car. The guards pulled the door gate for us and we drove in Just like me, Thelma lives with her parents. Compared to me who lives under the same roof with my father, Thelma was given a separate apartment to use. “I guess your parents will be asleep by now,” I said and she nodded but as we drove inside, Thelma suddenly asked me to stop the car. She got out of the car and I followed her just in case she saw something. “That car,” Thelma said and I followed her eye direction. There is a stunning car parked among all the other cars and I won't lie, that particular car stood out. “I think Emmy is here” Thelma said with frustration etched in her voice *Emmy?” I thought and I don't know why, the same sounds familiar. I think I remember now. “The same Emmy? Your cousin?” I asked and she nodded. “Yes. The light is on, so that m
I was about to bring out my phone and ask him where he was again until I spotted Orion already seated at a table, sipping a glass of wine. I waved my hand, I approached his table and he stood up.I expected a handshake or something but he pulled me in for a hug instead."Celine, you look stunning," Orion said, smiling and I almost shied away from his scrutinising blue eyes.I laughed and took a seat. "Thanks, Orion. You don't look so bad yourself." I said checking him out. The suit fits him perfectly, for real and I see a young man with a great future. Even though he was sitting, his demeanour alone shows that he is a great man. His aura is also something I can't quite explain.It's funny that I didn't meet someone like Orion in my past life but I am glad I actually met him here.The waitress brought the menu for us and I picked out what I wanted while Nicholas did the same.We ordered our food and spent the next twenty minutes chatting and laughing.“Actually, I have something I hav
“That is his profile and it will be best if you communicate with him only through this phone. You two will meet tomorrow and he is not supposed to know anything about you except your name and what you wantim to do tomorrow.” Thelma explained everything to me and nodded like a good student “Okay.. Thank you so much baby. I am going to send him a text now.” I said and clicked the profile “Hi, are you ready for a job deal tomorrow? I need your role as a fiancé.” I sent the texts and the reply came immediately.“He replied,” I informed Thelma and she took the phone from him. “So he agreed that you pay him $5000 for this job,” Thelma informed me, showing me all their conversation.“They actually charge high,” I said and told Thelma to agree to him.“But your information will remain confidential, love,” Thelma said with a shrug and tossed the phone back to me.“He agreed. Set a time and location with him. And you are good to go.” Thelma said and kept the phone inside my handbag.“Oh, The
The company we supplied to is demanding a refund and I couldn't even stop it because it was too late and I am not the one running the company in the first place.“I know you must have tried your best, sister but I have decided to agree”, I said and Rachel shook her head, not believing any word I said.“What? I know you didn't want this Celine. I know the kind of person you are. How stubborn you can be.” Sister said and she was right.I have always been stubborn but not father and mother. I do whatever they want me to do but at a point, I began to disagree, but what did it earn me? They hated me more and Mother treated me like a slave. She never once treated me as her daughter.Rachel is not aware of all this, so I can't inform her either. She will only know how bad her mother is and that is not my wish.“Nicholas threatened me, Rachel and I know the kind of person he is. When he wants something, he always tries everything possible to get it. I hate him to my gut but I don't know how t
NICHOLAS I drove to the company and met Bryan doing his best to attend to all my schedule in my stead. I stepped inside my office room and he looked up when he saw me “I wonder what kept you so busy that you didn't even notice my presence at all,” I said and sat down in the chair.“Your work. I'm
CELINE “Celine. I'm sorry you have to hear that.” She apologised but enough of that when she didn't do anything wrong to deserve that.“You don't have to apologise to me sister. I shouldn't have heard that,” I said and left after rubbing her back.“Oh, you heard that? I hope you are going to disap
CELINE “Okay. If you say so.” I said and picked up the glass cup. After drinking, I watched the people present between the rim of the glass. I suddenly have a feeling that someone is watching me but it's not possible. There is actually no one I know in the club. “I believe he has a good net
CELINE I fluttered my eyes open and saw Nicholas. He already carried me in his arms and my bag was nowhere to be found. “What are you doing?” I asked him and my eyes scanned the table to look for my bag. I couldn't find it. I looked at Thelma who gave me a pleading look “Place me down now” I s
