Crazy In The New York City – Episode 30
TEASERS
“There’s only one marriage certificate am signing and that’s between me and Adrian so back off Deandro”
He smiles wickedly and smacks my face, I could taste my own blood.
“AM NOT PLAYING WITH YOU CELINE, SIGN THIS PAPER NOW”
“Okay fine, I’ll sign them” I said and took the pen.
I wrote on the paper and signed on it.
“Is that all?” I asked, he ignores me and takes the paper smiling happily.
I use his distraction to set myself free, I untie the rope the dumbass tied me in and sneaked past him.
“Not so fast Celine, I am going to have to call the lawyer. I have to be sure this signature is not a fake”
I grunt exasperatedly, the signature was fake and the doors was locked.
“What do you want from me Deandro?” I cried out.
“You’ll soon know why?” He says and pulls my hair back.
I scream trying to release my hair from his grip but instead he throws me across the room, my stomach hitting the floor.
I groaned out loud and cried, it was getting more scary and I wasn’t prepared for all this.
A knock was heard and Deandro smiles.
“That’s the lawyer”He smiles and opens the door but was thrown halfway back to the room.
“Adrian” I called out and managed to stand up.
…
CRAZY IN NEW YORK CITY
Adrian’s Pov
I made swear words as I got to the door, whoever was on the other side of that door was in serious danger of getting kicked in the ass.
Another knock, this one more insistent than the previous one.
I reach the door apparently reluctant to open the door but I still opened it anyway.
“What the fuck….. Mom?” I stopped cursing when I saw my Mom amused, she
trails her eyes down to my groin and chuckles when she sees my boner, that was embarrassing.
“Someone has been busy…. Please tell me it was Celine”
Why does everyone keep on saying that, am I that slutty.
“Mom what do you want?” I asked still standing at the door.
“At least let me in” She requests and shoves her purse to my chest and entering the bungalow.
Celine’s Pov
I walked out frantically and saw Adrian standing in front of the sofa with tense shoulders and crossed arms.
“Mrs Vandermir?” I said surprised, she looks at me and smiles.
“Celine I told you to wait, it could have been dangerous” Adrian half growls. I ignore him and walk to Mrs Vandermir, I stepped forward ready for a
handshake but she sweeps me in a warm, cinnamon scented hug. She releases me and smiles warmly at me.
“Hello Mrs Vandermir, it’s nice to meet you”
“Please call me Erin” She waves away the formal title and looks at Adrian.
“I know you must be wondering why am here, trust me I had no idea both of you were here, if you’ve forgotten Adrian Today’s your Dad and I anniversary”
“Wow congratulations” Adrian says and smiles, a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
“Am going for a swim” Adrian says and walks out, I suspected he was only leaving so Erin and I could talk.
I smiled awkwardly not knowing what to say, everywhere was silent and I could hear the waves of the ocean hit the shore.
“Adrian is not a fan of his dad” Erin says and I made out an “o”. I was in the least surprised.
She smiles, I know she didn’t want to say anything again and I wasn’t going to ask her to.
“So tell me Celine, how’s it been with Adrian. You know you are the first woman who’s not a Vandermir to come to this Island”
“Really ?” I said feeling honored.
“You’ve really changed Adrian and am proud of you. My son seems happier than ever and that’s all thanks to you” She takes my palm and looks down to it.
“Have always had fate in you, cmon go and meet your man. He’s waiting for you” She says and I stand up excited and run to the ocean, Adrian was busy swimming, he didn’t realize I was there until he turned back to see me.
I couldn’t swim and that was a complete fuck up. He swims out and stands opposite me.
“Race you to that palm tree” He breathes out pointing at the tree.
“Which…” I couldn’t complete my sentence since Adrian had started running.
“No fair” I cried out and took to my heels.
You’re the light
You’re the night You’re the color of my blood
You’re the cure, you’re the pain You’re the only thing I wanna touch Never knew that it could mean so much
Love me like you do
lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
I jumped on Adrian’s back and he puts his hand on my backside so I can stay on his back.
He keeps on running with me laughing uncontrollably on his back.
We stopped and I got off, he starts laughing, his face filled with boyish delight. Adrian wasn’t much of a laughing guy and seeing him laugh made me hot for
him in ways I could not explain, I was a goner for this man.
I placed my palm on his cheek and he stops laughing, I tip my toe and grab his collar, there was nothing I wanted more but to be with this man.
As though Adrian could hear my thoughts,he lifts me up clutching my legs around his thighs and I wrap my hands around his neck.
“You are my favorite person, you know that right Mrs Celine Vandermir” My mouth becomes agape and my eyes widened. I couldn’t say anything. He gets me down and goes down on one kneel.
“Oh God” I exclaimed with one hand on my mouth, I broke out in cold sweat while Adrian dipped his hand in his pocket.
He brings out a box and opens it.
” I’d give up anything to hear a “yes” from you now”
My cheeks blush out in excitement and I nod my head excitedly.
“Yes yes” I say happily and brought out my finger, I watch happily as Adrian slips the Time pegged oval shaped ring in my finger.
He stands up and picks me off my feet, I knew I was I had met the real guy.
____________________
It was trending, on Facebook, twitter,whatsapp, skype, Instagram name the social media.
The whole New York knew I was engaged to Adrian Vandermir and daily life was becoming difficult.
I hardly go out without being attacked by cameras, I wonder if they have nothing else to do.
This is all Mary’s fault, she had posted a picture of me sleeping with the engagement ring on my hand and since then life gets hard.
“Guess what” Mary says breaking me off my thought.
“What?” I sighed, I looked at her and continued staring at my phone.
“I bought a new house” She says excitedly. I look at her and look away again.
“Cmon Celine I apologized for the whole scandal”
“I hear you” I tell her and stand up from the bed.
I look at her and smile.
“Congratulations though” I tell her and she smiles happily. To be honest she was glowing and she looked really happy.
“You know what we should celebrate this” I said and stood up.
I walked to the closet and dug in, I had no new clothes and that was bothersome. I have to get a job ASAP, I know am engaged to one of the richest man in the
world but I find it difficult to depend on men.
Mary comes to my rescue and hands me a long lace sleeve purple gown.
“Trust me it’s perfect” She assures me and I collect the dress from her.
Adrian’s Pov
It’s been 2 weeks since I proposed to Celine, it’s trending on Social media and am really sure Deandro would see it.
It hurts me to my marrows that I can’t see the look of defeat in Deandro’s face but all the same, it’s going well.
I got to the company to finish some paperwork, there was some mails left on my desk.
I sat down and begin to open the mails that had piled up on my desk.
I picked it up and opened it with a pen knife.
My gut twisted when I pulled out the crumpled photographs. More photographs scattered onto my desk.
With shaking hands I picked up the photograph with words scrawled in red ink.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T DEFEAT ME SO EASILY BACK OFF IF YOU DON’T WANT HER TO GET HURT.
I picked up the photographs. They were photographs of us. Some from when we would go on walks or when leaving and entering the company or apartment.
They didn’t seem to be professional photos either.
I looked at the postage stamp. It was sent when we were in Fiji. A sick feeling settled in my stomach.
I immediately picked up my phone and dialed Romeo.
“Can’t I have one day without you calling me?” He groaned.
“No.” I sighed.
“Can you meet me at the office?”
He whined like a kid who was told he couldn’t have that snickers bar.
“Fine.” He huffed.
He turned up 30 minutes later with a large frown, I set down the large pizza I ordered in front of him. His mood did a complete 180 and he dug in.
“I received all this in the mail.” I threw the photographs on the desk.
With a full mouth Romeo frowned and looked closer.
“Jesus!” He nearly spat pepperoni everywhere.
“Deandro?”
“You think?, that guy is becoming desperate and dangerous. I have to do something about him”
Romei shakes his head.
“Trouble just follows her.”
I glared at him.
“What? I didn’t say it was her fault.” He raised his hands in surrender. He reached and picked up the photographs.
“What are you going to do about it?”
“I don’t know for now, but am going to have to do something about him” I sigh
Romeo’s nose scrunched up in disgust, Deandro was getting in my way.
I dialled Celine, she didn’t pick her call and I was getting worried, I called her for the 6th time and she finally picks the call.
Hello Her soft voice answered, I could tell the background was noisy, I could hear the music booming from the phone.
Hey sweetheart, where are you
I asked holding the pen knife
Am at Mary’s Club, she just bought a new house and we are celebrating sighed, I didn’t want to spoil her fun.
I
How close are you to finishing
We just got here, I’ll probably be done in the next let’s say 6 hours, I would still have to go to Mary’s new House
okay hurry back
Is everything okay She asked in concern.
No I just miss you
Oh okay I have to get going , I love….
I panicked when I heard Celine scream and muffle sounds was heard on the phone.
Hello Celine are you there, Celine are you there
.”What’s up??” Romeo asks.
“Celine is in danger” I growl and storm out of the office.
Celine’s Pov
I touched my forehead and looked at my hand, it was blood.
“You bastard” I snapped at Deandro shooting murderous glare at him.
I looked around to figure out where I was, Deandro’s picture was all over the walls and I guessed I was in his house.
“What do you want from me?” I asked and he puts a printed paper on the table in front of me.
“I want you to sign it” He says and I take the paper.
“Marriage Certificate??, are you crazy”
“Celine all you have to do is sign this paper and you leave here unharmed”
“Bull shit” I spat.
“There’s only one marriage certificate am signing and that’s between me and Adrian so back off Deandro”
He smiles wickedly and smacks my face, I could taste my own blood.
“AM NOT PLAYING WITH YOU CELINE, SIGN THIS PAPER NOW”
“Okay fine, I’ll sign them” I said and took the pen.
I wrote on the paper and signed on it.
“Is that all?” I asked, he ignores me and takes the paper smiling happily.
I use his distraction to set myself free, I untie the rope the dumbass tied me in and sneaked past him.
“Not so fast Celine, I am going to have to call the lawyer. I have to be sure this signature is not a fake”
I grunt exasperatedly, the signature was fake and the doors was locked.
“What do you want from me Deandro?” I cried out.
“You’ll soon know why?” He says and pulls my hair back.
I scream trying to release my hair from his grip but instead he throws me across the room, my stomach hitting the floor.
I groaned out loud and cried, it was getting more scary and I wasn’t prepared for all this.
A knock was heard and Deandro smiles.
“That’s the lawyer”He smiles and opens the door but was thrown halfway back to the room.
“Adrian” I called out and managed to stand up.
____________________
Deandro got arrested for kidnapping but got released on bail and Adrian got a security personnel for me, although I didn’t see why it was necessary.
I already signed a marriage Certificate with Adrian after Adrian convinced me
to.
It was for the good though, at least Deandro won’t have any reason to attack me now, although I wonder why he’s so kin on a marriage certificate.
He got me a security personnel even though I thought it wasn’t necessary, I didn’t want to be followed around everywhere I went.
______________________
I stood in front of the floor length mirror and rubbed my sweatingf palms on my stunning white dress.
It was a lace vintage style mermaid dress with a sweetheart neckline, long lace sleeves and a low back.
The lace train went on forever. I was afraid I would trip.
My hair was curled, pinned and flowed effortlessly over my right shoulder.
It was unbelievable. The time flew by so fast. It was relatively uneventful, except for the media storm that followed Deandro’s arrest
“Celine” Erin breathed out.
“You look parfait.”
I smiled at her. She wiped the tears away with a tissue.
Mary burst through the doors.
“Are you ready?” She grinned.
She was wearing a flowing midnight blue bridesmaid dress.
Her baby bump was getting obvious already.
“Celine” Jessica stepped in. I could see tears glistening in her eyes.
“You look amazing.”
“Okay!” Mary clapped her hands
“She looks beautiful and I’m an awesome dress maker, but we have to go!” Mary exclaimed.
I swallowed nervously and stepped forward.
I took tentative steps and tried not to think and then Romeo bursts in, he was looking nervous.
“Babe what’s up, you are supposed to be at the altar” Jessica stated.
“I I cant find Adrian” He says nervously.
“What are you talking about?” I asked walking closer to him.
“I don’t know where Adrian is. He isn’t picking his calls and he refused to call me back. Have sent someone to check on him but he’s nowhere to be found”
I gasped and my feet topple threatening to lose balance.
“What do you mean Adrian’s not here. Talk to me Romeo” I yelled.
This is all Deandro’s work, I know it is.
