"Miss Clifford, I will ask you to stop bringing your guard when ever you are coming to see me in the future"Thomas said still starring at Nick who stood his ground too "I doubt that will be possible and will you please Mr Daven port stop addressing my fiance as a guard, I will like it if you Address him as Nick,cause he does have a name"Celine said and that made Thomas stare at her "What if I don't feel like it! You are my business partner whether you want to admit or not, we two are the partner here not a mere guard like him"Thomas began hotly "I think you are......""Why don't you leave us alone Celine"Nick said stopping her mid way."But....."she stopped again when. Nick turned towards her, holding her by her shoulder."You have to trust me on this one, Leave Thomas and I alone, just trust me okay"He said kissing her fore head "Fine then, I will be waiting out side for you"Celine said and gave Thomas one last look before heading out of the office.As soon as she was gone ,Nick
"What a lovely surprise,come in Nick"Alicia said as she pulled him into the house.He had known that Thomas had rented out a flat but what he never knew was that Alicia would be staying there with him.He had been determined to talk to Thomas and so he had decided to wait for him at his new home, he never could have fathom that Alicia would be living with him."What would you like to drink?"Alicia asked as she kept on pulling him into the house and for one second didn't let his hand go from her grip."Any thing, apart from alcohol, I will have to drive back tonight"He said "No problem"Alicia said hurriedly as she called out for who ever will bring the drink She walked him to the patio and sat him there while she took a chair close by and say down beside him too."So now tell me why you are here, hope it isn't to check on my health, you must have heard that I was a bit down with the weather and that is why you are......""No.i didn't come for that! I came for some thing different e
(A YEAR AGO )"Welcome back home young master"The chauffeur greeted before taking the keys from a tired Nick.He has been through with a business deal with some investors at China and days of attending a lot of conferences, he really had just to do all of it and he doesn't even mind, after all it would some day be their inheritance.He got into the house and found it strange that no one was around to welcome him.The TV was on and it was at the sport Chanel, seems like Alicia is watching the sport competition again.He wondered how she even did on her race, he thought as he begin to head up stairs."No father!"the voice yelled out from the study and Nick walked down the few stairs.He thought every one had gone out but it seemed like they were still here."I can't take it any more, I want Nick out of our life"What Thomas said next stopped Nick from walking further "You definitely know that that is impossible,I treat that boy like .......""Like your son, you didn't even
"Have you seen Nick?"Celine asked as she walked out of the lift.It's been five hours since he left the house to God's know where? She has no idea where he could have gone to because he never told her where he was going.Now more than ever she regret not persisting to know where he went to.The rain was pouring heavily out side and it's been five hours already, where could he have gone to."I haven't! I thought he went out, isn't he back?"Stacey asked in return"He isn't"she replied calling him again but still no reply."Hope nothing bad has happen, I heard the rain wouldn't stop until tomorrow morning "Stacey said adding more fear in Celine."Don't say that! Nick will come back"Celine said as she took an umbrella,heading out side.Each time it rained, she gets scared. Her father had died on the night that the rain had been talking, she had got into an accident during a rainy day.Each time the rain fell,it got her feeling scared and also remembering the events of the past.Nick would
A WEEK LATER"Finally the group project is over, why don't we all go out to celebrate"Jessica a part in Celine group for the college project asked as they all walked out of the class "That will be a good idea"Mark replied Celine stared up to see him watching her, she turned to Jessica."I don't think I can make it "Celine said as they all grumbled, wanting her to be there."Am sorry but apart from schooling, I also have to work, sorry but I will have to decline"She said and turned to leave.She was just getting out of the gate when Mark walked towards her obstructing her path."What do you want?""You have been avoiding me for a week now and i think have been patient enough, don't you have to apologise to me for what your boy friend did that day"Mark said "You deserved what you received that day, so now get out of my way"Celine said as she tried to walk past him only for him to push her back"You aren't leaving until I finish talking to you"He said as he held on
"I think this is all for today!"Thomas said as he packed up the rest of the papers."It is!"Celine replied as she helped him pack up the papers."I will be here tomorrow too, I hope nothing will keep you delayed as you were today"He said "You don't have to bring it tomorrow, you can just give it to one of the employees to Bring it to me"Celine said as she stared at him "What! You dont want me to come tomorrow?"Thomas asked "I just think that it's inconvenient for you to be bringing it back home for me, you can just get one of the.......""It's not a bother for me, at least that way I can get to see your face"Thomas said softly and Stacey who had been about to take away their cup of coffee stopped what she was doing to stare at Celine.Celine looked away from Stacey and stared at Thomas.There were some part of business she had to look into and so instead of going to the company, Thomas had decided to bring it over to the Clifford mansion.He has been doing that for a week now and sh
Celine woke up to find her self in a room, she turned her head a bit to see the beeping monitor and also to see that a drip has been placed in her hand.Was she in a hospital, she thought as she moved her head a bit to see the clothing on her body.It was an hospital attire, so she is definitely in a hospital, she thought.What had happened, she thought as she sat up only to see Nick sitting on the chair not so far from her.It's been a week, a week since she had last seen him, he hadn't even come to see her at all but he showed up when some thing was wrong with her.she thought sadly.As if he sensed her watching him, he opened her eyes and saw her starring at him.Immediately he stood up and went towards her, looking worried."Are you okay?"He asked "Am fine! Why am I here?"She asked "You don't remember ?"He asked softly "If I did remember,I won't be asking you?"She said "Some one attacked you three days ago and you have been in a coma since then, you just woke up today"he said a
Nick walked into the station to see Peter waiting for him."So? Who is this person?"Nick asked "Minister of health, George Drew"Peter said "So that man is also amongst the gambling den members"Nick said "Yes, the assassin also confessed that George has been the one visiting Zack before he died, Jenny also confirmed seeing the man coming to see Zack"Peter said "George had been the one black mailing Zack, asking him to do all sort of things before Zack died" Nick added and Peter nodded "Then we will need to pay George a visit" Nick said "We have a problem though! We don't have a prove that George did It and besides the assassin he sent told us that George had threatned him saying that if he was caught, he wouldn't help him out of it but instead he will kill him "Peter said "He will need to be watched all the time and even though we don't have proof, we can surely gather one, I will seek George out this after noon and see what I can get out of him "Nick replied "Stay at the st
