“Sir,”“A man claiming to be your cousin is here and had refused to go away,” Marcus said to me.“Let him in,” my voice came dry, out of life and full of pain and rage. The door opened and soon enough, a man dressed in suit sat beside me.“Jordan,” he called out to me in a worried tone. I slowly turned to him, my eyes heavy and tears clouding them already.“She was a virgin,” they came flowing down my cheek.“She was a fucking virgin and he took it away like that, in such a horrible way,” I banged my hand against a chair and allowed the tears flow. The colors on his face disappeared immediately and he could only gape at me for a while.“He did it over and over and over again till she passed out. No need waiting for that c4 to kill her. she is dead already. He had taken her life with his action and…”“Wait Jordan,” Aiden entered and I turned to him. He stared at me for a while, his eyes reflecting my pain.“Let’s think for a while,”“You only made plans to get Genesis here, minutes aft
JORDANMy knees grew weak and my legs buckled underneath me as I heard those words. Relief flooded my heart and tears clouded my eyes in an instance. I relaxed into the wall and shut my eyes to shut the pain I had felt before, then I allowed my heart to dance for a little bit. There was no scenario I had not thought of. Genesis was going to wake up and hate me for life, she was going to hate her life and the beautiful smile she had always had on her face would disappear into nothingness, and I would disappear along with it. If she would not be able to smile, what would be left of my miserable life? I had brought nothing but bad news to her, nothing but bad to her and countless times she had been put in danger because of all this. Guilt had taken over me and my chest was beginning to hurt at the thought of rubbing ill luck on her but just now, the doctor had changed it all with just this one news.“It must have been hard to have heard the kidnapper say something like that,” the doctor
GENESISSlowly, I felt more conscious and heard a faint sound coming from around me. I groaned slightly and opened my eyes, but the light blinded me and I immediately shut them back. I groaned again and rolled to a different side, then I opened my eyes slowly, this time and allowed it adjust to the light. I turned and laid on my back and the first thing I saw was the familiar dark walls of Jordan’s room filled with stars and paintings of the night. For a strange reason, I felt warm opening my eyes to that familiar room, that familiar scent. I remained there for a few seconds with nothing in my head, no thoughts, no words just the warmth and scent of him.Then it came crashing down on me. My dance tutors. The memory came in a flash and I jumped up from where I had been lying down.“Whoa…whoa…. whoa” Jordan’s voice came as he sat beside me and pressed me back to the bed, gently.“Jordan…Roman,” I panicked.“Shhhhh,” he placed his fingers in my mouth.“Take a deep breath, wife,” his voic
I gulped hard, the question itself frightening me to my very bones. But when I saw the serious look on their faces, I knew that they meant it. Samantha deserved death, but not just death, torment, pain and fear before death. But she was a human being just as much as I was, and I don’t think I wanted to wish someone else dead. Their blood might be on me and I didn’t want it. Taking her to the station and filing a law suit against her would do the trick. But after remembering the last time and how she had escaped and also since she was a Brandon, I doubted that a cell would contain her for too long. I could not let her go free though, she would not stop scheming till I was out of the way and I was not going to give her that satisfaction. In fact, I wanted to rub it in her face.“Nothing,” my response came.“You can’t be serious,” Jordan responded coldly from behind me.“But it’s okay. We can still handle her ourself,” Alden entered and my head snapped to him.“Don’t do anything to her,”
“Help,” my scream echoed in the room, hammering loudly and hitting hard against the walls till the night shook. Something gripped my chest, it gripped my heart and squeezed it tightly, making it hard for me to breathe. But I remained strong, and pushed myself towards Jordan who was limp on the floor like he was dead. I knelt down beside him and pulled him to my leg, then I placed his head on my chest and felt tears burn the back of my eyes.“Jordan, Jordan,” I cried, not knowing what had happened or why he had fallen down like that. All I knew was that, I was scared, I was beginning to find it very hard to breathe and everything at the exact moment felt like a joke, a sick joke to me. Panic was slowly overwhelming me and tears were running down my cheek uncontrollably, feeling me with fear, fear of losing out, of losing him.“Help….” I screamed again. The back of my throat became itchy and had a salty taste, but I needed someone to hear me. Fortunately, someone did because Margaret an
“How can I? when I only just got married,” he teased and I chuckled again. His words lifting a huge weight off my chest and I took a deep breath. My fear suddenly diminished.“Are you scared of getting a disease?” he suddenly asked at my distance and I grinned.“Whatever disease you have, I think I have already contacted it.” his eyes went wide and he frowned at me.“I don’t have any disease,”“Oh, I guess I’m not going to die from not seeing you anymore. I thought you were intoxicating but since you no longer have a disease, I guess it was not you from the beginning,” I went along. His eyes went wide again and for a moment he glared at me. I grinned at him and felt my cheek heat up when I realized that I was expressing my feelings foolishly to him.“I have a disease. An incurable one and you have contacted it,” he admitted and I laughed at how silly he was. The heaviness and fear in my heart suddenly leaving and for a moment, I remained happy. When I was done with my fit, I turned to
For a while, I felt better and I truly believed Aiden’s words. So instead of wallowing in pain and grief over nothing. I had breakfast and decided to go with the flow and have a little faith at the man I married. I had a shower and immediately after that, I was surrounded by people. While this took care of my nails, the others took care of my hair. It took a while and it made me think back to my wedding day. I smiled at myself at the memories and realized that I had no regrets at all. After everything, I believed that I was right at where I was supposed to be. When they were done, others came in and did my makeup and that was even more exhausting. Aiden and Alden were right in the room and they were watching everything like the supervisors they were. I felt even sorry for them. The owners of A&A were babysitting me and probably doing the jobs meant for lower staffs because my husband was domineering but that didn’t mean that I didn’t feel good about it. Alden one time left but Aiden r
“Yes. Do you know that Alden had made sure I had a spa treatment even in my unconsciousness? I should be upset that he drugged me but seeing as it was all to keep me worry free, I’m cool with it. And Aiden had been wonderful, he is like this big brother I never had and is always watching me, almost like you do at….” I paused and realized that something seemed wrong with that statement. I turned to Jordan just to find out if he thought so too, but his face was in a deep frown and his jaw clenched tightly.“I can see how caring he is,” he pushed out through gritted teeth and I sighed.“Don’t be jealous, he is just being good to his sister-in-law,” I smiled. The thought that had only formed in my head disappearing with the very look on his face.“Moreover, I’m married to you. What are you being jealous for? They did nothing but took care of me and helped me dress up while…”“They helped you dress up?” he suddenly growled and I flinched. I turned to him and found his eyes were hard, dark
