Celine’s Pov

I held Adrian’s hand trying to get a contact with his eyes but he was avoiding eye contact, I needed to know what happened to Julia.

“I’ll be back Celine…” He turns to leave but I grab his hand staring at him angrily.

“Adrian Vandermir, you’ll tell me what happened to Julia and you’ll tell me right now” I tell him, my tone was cold.
He rakes his hand through his hair and holds my shoulders, he pulls me back and makes me sit down.

“Julia she’s, she’s dead” He replies and takes a step backwards. I open my mouth and close it back, I touch my chest and let out a small gro-n.

“Cel c’mon breath” He tells me. I was having a panic attack and honestly I didn’t know how to deal with it.
He rubs my temple soothingly and whispers words of relief to me, I grab his clothes for support and lay my head on his hærd chest.

“Don’t play with me Adrian, please tell me you are joking” I tell him, he pulls me back and holds my chin.

“I wish I was Celine, I wish I was”
I looked at Adrian’s face, he was being serious and that scared me, I didn’t know what to do, it felt like my eyes went dry and I couldn’t shed any more tears.
I know my sister wasn’t the best but last thing I wanted was her death, I still care for her and prayed she changed.

____________________
The mortuary attendant led us in,side the mortuary and removed the white clothes lieing on Julia’s face.

“God” I gasp and clutched on the hem of Adrian’s shirt. There was the only family I had left, dead and gone.
He puts his arm around my body and pulls me closer.

“Julia, why!!” I exclaim, I felt the urge to throw up and signaled Adrian, he pulls me out to the restroom and I spew out the content in my stomach.

“It’s okay Celine, have got you”
We walked out to meet the cop who gave us few of Julia’s stuff.
There was a lawyer standing behind the cop and waiting to say something, I gave him the cue and he walks forward.

“Julia wanted you to have this, she’s written off 25% of her properties to the orphans, 45 % to an Anita Moretti and the rest 30% to your unborn child ” He hands the doc-ments to me but I didn’t receive them so Adrian did for me.
I still was in shock and everything seemed like a dream to me, I’ll probably sleep and wake up from this nightmare.
The lawyer leaves and the cop leads us out of the mortuary to the car.

“Mrs Vandermir, why didn’t you come all this month to check on your sister even after the voice note she made for you”

“Which voice note??” I asked furrowing my eyebrows.

“It’s nothing Celine let’s go” Adrian says and tries pulling me away. I remove his grip from my hand and face the Cop.

“What voice note?” I asked. She looks at Adrian and looks back at me.

“She made a voice note few months ago and I sent it to your husband… I guess he forgot about it”
I stare at Adrian and heave a sigh of discomfort

“Do you have a copy of the voice note”

“Sure” She dips her hand in her pocket and brings out a camcorder.
She plays it for me and I put it near my ear.

“I know you might not even want to listen to anything I say considering my deciet in the past months but I hope you see past my deception today and listen to what I have to say… I know I have wronged you in many ways and I won’t even ask you to forgive me because I can’t even forgive myself….” She stops and sighs.

“Since my sentence have asked myself what exactly I wanted, was it Adrian or to see my baby sister suffer. I realized I was only a bitter person and didn’t even love Adrian anymore. I guess I was used to getting what I wanted and I hated the fact I couldn’t get Adrian.
I would have blamed our parents for the way they raised me but I realized I have to stop the blame game, I am the reason of my own doom not anyone else. I didn’t know about the power of the tongue and invited leukemia to my life. I regret everything I did and I am really sorry for everything I caused you.
Celine please can you find it in your heart to look past my atrocities against you and come see me once in the cell. Just once please. I have little time left and I want to see my only family before I die…. I love you Celine”
My hands were shaky and it felt like a storm had hit me, throughout I was shedding tears.
I didn’t get to see her even when I already made plans.

“Cel…”

“Why didn’t you show me the voice note?” I cleaned the tears off my face and glared at Adrian.

“I had no idea she was being sincere Celine, trust me I…”

“She wanted me to see her!!” I scre-med at Adrian.

“I was only watching out of you”

“You were not watching out for me Adrian, she was the only family I had left and I didn’t get to see her before she passed away”

“F-ck Celine I am also your family”

“You are being Selfish Adrian, you had no right to hide the voice note from me. I might be your wife but she’s my sister… There’s a fine line between protecting and selfishness, you clearly passed that line Adrian” I cried poking at his hærd chest.

“You too should calm down”
I glare at the cop and she raises both hand leaving the scene.

“I crossed the line… Celine I crossed the line?? Your sister has done a lot of things to you and you expect me to just let you see her in prison just because she made a f-cking voice note” He clenches his jaw and hærdens the features on his face

“She was Dieing Adrian, she was dieing!!”

“How do you expect me to f-cking know, your sister is one crazy bitch who…”
He stops and frowns at me after I attacked his cheek with my palm, an action I immediately regret but my anger didn’t let me show it.

“You’ll respect my sister Adrian”
He scoffs and plays his tongue in his mouth, he tells the driver to drop me home and walks away.
I close my eyes and cry out, I didn’t really know why I was crying. Was it my sister’s death or the fact that Adrian didn’t show me the voice note , whatever it was it really burdened my heart.

“Madam let’s go” The driver says and helps me in the car.
I rest my head back and rub my bulging stomach, I over reacted with Adrian and I shouldn’t have.
I let my anger speak for me, I closed my eyes and thought of memories with Julia and I, the bad ones and the few good ones.
How we ended up becoming enemies was something I couldn’t figure out.

“Drop me at Mary’s” I order the driver.

“Yes ma’am”
____________________
Mary puts her br-ast back in her clothes and burps Daniel, she puts him in his cot to play and looks at me, her face was with sincere concern..

“Am so sorry for your loss Celine, Julia was a close friend but honestly you shouldn’t have slapped Adrian that in the public. You insulted him Celine”
Toying with the paper napkin on the table,I nodded, swallowing down the lump in my throat as I wondered what Adrian was doing right this moment. .
I buried my head in my hands, feeling like the biggest fool ever.

“I know…I wasn’t thinking straight… I’m a horrible person and I’ll do anything to take it back. Mary he sounded angry afterwards even though he didnt show it , I called him selfish and and I sealed the coffin on our relationsh¡p. Now, I don’t know what he’s thinking or where I’m going to start apologizing…I won’t blame Adrian if he decides to divorce me ….I was too harsh on me.” I cried placing a hand on my forehead which was throbbing badly. Julia’s death really hit me and to think I was blaming Adrian.

“He won’t divorce you Cel, he loves you so much and won’t do that”
God am so stupid, Mary’s phone rings and she smiles.

“It’s Adrian”

“Please pick it” I said wiping my tears and sitting up. She puts it on loudspeaker.

“Hi Ad…”

“Is Celine with you”

“Yeah she is wanna talk to…”
He cuts the call even before she could finish.

“He’s really upset” I lament. I needed him now and I pushed him away.

“Go to him Celine, Go to your husband. Apologize to him, he loves you and am sure he’ll forgive you”

“I pray so” I hoped a little relieved at Mary’s assuring words.

Adrian’s Pov

“Your wife just lost her sister and you are here getting drunk?” Romeo fairly yelled at me in frustration.

“What the f-ck man, what’s going on”
I merely shrugged and attempted to rise , staggering as the effect of alcohol hits me back. I cursed again gripping the edge of the table as a form of support.

“Am going home” I announced steadying myself to make it to the door.
Romeo grabbed me just before I hit my face to the carpet, his mouth tight with disapproval.

“Honestly dude you need to get your shit straight, if my wife comes home and sees you like this its not going to be funny and what do you expect Celine to say if she sees you like this”

“F-ck off” I slurred, shrugging off Romeo’s hold

“And Celine f-cking Greene can f-ck off as well, why don’t you meet her and ask her what she thinks” I chuckled bitterly.

“Wait I’ll tell you,she thinks am a selfish bastard.. That’s what she f-cking thinks…. Am going and I swear I’ll brawl you if you try stopping me”

“I’ll drop you home” Romeo suggests placing a hand on my shoulder.

Celine’s Pov

I let myself into the bedroom, heart beating a wild rhythm in my chest. I leaned against the door, knuckles gripping the knob as though unwilling to take the necessary steps into the room, worry and dread turning my skin cold.
I took a deep breath forcing much needed air into my lungs, tight with anxiety as I silently tried to reassure myself with Mary’s words

“Baby” I murmured , Romeo was the first to notice me while Adrian was facing away from the door, nursing half filled glasses filled with what I knew would surely be alcohol. A half empty bottle of Jack Daniels sat atop the table and my heart sank, I caused this.
. He made a show of checking his watch and leaned forward to set down his drink.

“Adrian…I gotta get back to the office.”
Adrian merely shrugged and took a gulp of his own drink, draining the contents in one swallow. Romeo gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder and walked past me.

“He’s all yours” He says and leaves.
I swallowed, my gaze darting back to Adrian, my heart breaking at the dejected slump of his shoulders as he gazed fixedly at the view outside, still oblivious to my presence. I did this to him…had hurt him by my thoughtless actions…

“Babe” I called again, his head darts back to look at me, he ignores me and pours himself another glass of alcohol emptying it in one cup.

“Mind if I join” I ask, he doesn’t say anything. Instead he just shrugs.
I sit beside him and pour the remaining content in a cup, I take it to my lip, Adrian looks at me eyes w¡den.
He hits the cup out of my hand making it shatter into thousand pieces.

“Are you crazy??, do you wanna hurt the baby” He exclaims.

“I wasn’t planning to but I had to get your attention one way or the other, the plan worked”

“I want to be alone Celine”

“But I need you Adrian, am emotionally down and I need you”

“You don’t need a selfish guy in your life…”

“I didn’t mean to say that” I tuck my hair behind my ear and pull the chair closer to Adrian.

“I love you so much and I need you baby, the baby needs you”
He looks at my stomach and smiles.

“I need to rest, my brain is finding it difficult to process everything”
He lays on the bed and I crawl beside him, my butt facing him.
He wraps his hand around my wa-ist and pulls me closer

“I love you” He whispers and k-sses my hair, I smile and closed my eyes.

______________________
We buried Julia on Wednesday, it was surprising that the only audience present was Mary,Russell Adrian and I, all the same I was happy it was all over.
Julia’s death still hurts me but am happy she repented before dieing, my only regret was I didn’t get to see her.
Anita could care less that Julia transferred some of her properties to her, I don’t blame her though.
At least the nightmare of my life was over and I could finally move on with my life.

_______________________

“He passed out again” The doctors laughed, I couldn’t help but laugh even though the process of pushing out a human being out of my vag-na was tormenting.
I gripped the sheets of the bed and made a heavy push, I laid my head back when I felt empty but in a good way.
Baby cries filled the room and Adrian stood up, he wasn’t nervous anymore
I saw the love in his eyes and that moment I knew he was going to be a great father.

6. Months. Later.

I smiled deeply staring at my baby, she was the exact photocopy of her father and I felt cheated, she had his beautiful blue eyes and his dark hair.

“How dare you Adline Julianna Vandermir” I giggled and carried her out of the cot. She giggles and puts her tiny fingers on my face.

“How dare you look so much like your father when I was the one who carried you for 9 and a half months, it’s not fair” I pretended to be hurt and rasp on her cheek.
She laughs kicking her little legs.

“Someone’s Jealous” I heard Adrian voice say behind me. He k-sses my neck and carries Adline.

“Don’t mind mummy” He coos at her, she laughs louder this time and I gasp. She loves her dad more than she loves me, life’s not fair.

“You know I did most of the work” Adrian tells me, I look at him and smile at the beautiful connection between father and daughter.
I roll my eyes at his comment.

“Oh please it’s not work when you enjoy doing it” I frown.

“Well trust me Mrs Vandermir, working with you is the best decision I have ever made”
I blush at his comment and notice Adline was rubbing her eyes.

“Shhhh” I place my hand on Adrian’s lip and carry Adline from him.

“Sleeping beauty is about to take off” I whisper and place her in her cot.

____________________
“So Russell and Mary are getting married next month” I tell Adrian, he ignores it and places his l-ips on mine.

“Adrian” I giggled and wrapped my hand around his neck.

“Baby’s sleeping, Daddy wanna work”
I laugh silently and k-ssed him back with every passion and love I had for me.
He lifts me up on the table careful not to break the k-ss, I chuckle when I notice the er-ction bulging in his p-nts.

“It’s what you do to me Celine Vandermir, nobody else but you”
He smiles when he hears me mo-n out his name before taking me to the bed and driving me to a wild life of passion.
I love my life.
