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
"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,
"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
Celine had made plans to spend her wedding anniversary with Xavier at the orphanage, but the whole incident with Zack had made her halt her plans. She thought it would no longer be possible to celebrate it with him seeing as he wanted her to travel out of the country. 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. He looked much more relaxed right now that he wasn't thinking about his job. She loved that she was able to enjoy moments like this with him."I'm going to be picking out your outfit for today," Celine told him. She had gotten them both matching outfits. She had gone for casual yet classy looks.She got them both a pair of white cargo pants each and specially customized hoodies, hers read "Mrs" and his read "Mr". They would accessorize their o
Celine had put in effort to make sure that their anniversary was one that they both would remember for quite a while and it seemed like her plan had worked as Xavier wouldn't stop grinning throughout the ride home."Doesn't it hurt?" She asked"What?" Xavier asked, his brows arched but he was still grinning from ear to ear, "Your cheeks? Doesn't it hurt from all that grinning" She teased"I'm just so happy, I can't bring myself to stop grinning. I can even imagine anything I could do that could top what you did today baby""I know right…leave it to me to plan amazing memories for us." "That's like your superpower."Xavier parked the car once they had gotten into their house."Don't get down yet." He said to Celine who was about to push open the door next to her.Curious to see what he had in store, Celine sat back and let her husband do his thing.Xavier turned off the car and got off, he went round the front and opened Celine's door. She was going to get off but he stopped her."H
PAUL Reyes had gone to his boss' office one Monday morning. He had just got off the phone with Celine, his daughter and she had reminded him that her fees were due and yet to be paid. Paul was broke at the moment, he had been that way ever since his wife's burial and could barely managed to make ends meet. Celine understood her father's situation and also tried by taking part time jobs to also help keep the family standing, after all it was just her and her father in this world of distracted humans.Paul went to his boss' office to ask for a salary raise and possibly an advance. He had worked with the company for a decade now and he had never asked for a raise. So he was pretty sure he was going to get his raise even though his instincts told him his boss was going to ask for something in return.Paul's boss was an elderly man, around eighty five years of age and was still fit as a fiddle.Mr Smith had life going for him, owning a multinational company and having so many sources of
Xavier was out with his friends on a boat cruise, that Monday morning when he got the call from him father. Who could judge the grandson of a wealthy billionaire for going on a boat cruise on a Monday morning while other people are working their asses off to make ends meet. Xavier's ends were never separated to begin with."We need to talk. Now!" His grandfather had sounded commanding over the phone, leaving Xavier speechless for a brief moment."Did you hear me?" Mr Smith asked"Yes, grandpa, of course. Do you want me to come to the office?" Xavier asked trying to sound composed and less busy not knowing the sound of the boat engine in the background already gave him off."Actually, seems like you're busy. I want you at the apartment by 4pm sharp. Today."Mr Smith ended the call and sighed. As much as Xavier had his head in the business, he was also someone who loved to have fun at any point in time. He never missed the opportunity to party. Never in his life had he ever rejected and
Celine had gotten a call from her dad early in the morning. He asked her to come home that he had an important discussion that he wanted to have with her. She had gotten home that evening and met her father sitting in the living room, his palm placed under his chin. He was so deep in thoughts that he didn't notice his daughter come in."Dad? I said good evening!" Celine repeated herself seeing as her father didn't hear her the first time."I'm sorry my dear, I have a lot on my mind. Please take a sit" Celine sat directly opposite her father. She was confused as to what would make her father thinking so hard."So Celine, you know i have taken loans in the past to be able to make ends meet and also pay for your tuition?" She nodded in response and her father continued. "Most of those loan sharks are on my neck. I also have to pay tuition for your sophomore year too."Celine sighed and her father gave a slight smile and continued. "I went to my boss to ask for a raise and possibly a sa
