Pulling Jordan along with me to the door was like moving a rock. His body was steadily built and it was a lot of work because of his reluctance to go in. But after hearing what he had said, how he had been with other people compared to how he was with me, I wanted my family to see my husband already and know who he was. We finally got to the door and I lifted my hand against it to ring the doorbell only for the door to swing open and Tiffany shrieked so loudly, I had to close my eyes and winced at the loud sound that could come out of her throat.“She is here,” she yelled into the house and pulled me by my arm into the house. Tiana came out and crossed her hand over her chest as she stared at me grudgingly, like I had offended her in some way but I saw the little smile at the corner of her lips that proved she was happy to see me as I was happy to see them.“How have you been?” Tiffany started as she ran her eyes from my head to my toe so widely. It reminded me of how Jordan always lo
My heart skipped and my eyes instantly snapped to Tiana. She didn’t act like she cared though because she was eating her food casually. It went so silent in the table, I could feel my heart beating so loudly inside my chest.“Why y’all looking at me?” she looked up and smirked when she met my angry gaze.“What? Have you become so obsessed with money that you no longer have a conscience?”“Do you know that we never told him who you were married to so he wouldn’t create a fuss and ruin things. But even after so many months, have you called him once to apologize or say sorry?” she yelled.“Tiana,” my mother banged her hands against the table loudly. And like she realized what she had done, she flinched and went quiet. I wanted to tear her apart, not because what she said was wrong but because she was so stupid to have brought that up in front of Jordan. I only just told her that we were in a good place, why was she trying to ruin it? No one said a thing again, they all remained quiet and
JORDANSomething warm and soothing seemed to be coursing through my veins, spreading through my heart. The excitement and peace I felt was so foreign, different and completely worth it. I had traveled and waited for a long time to feel what I felt within me. I had lived out my life in darkness and loneliness scared that it would never be worth living if I never had Samantha close by.I chuckled darkly and ran my hands through my hair as I finally found it fit to pull my eyes away from the sleeping beauty cuddled up tightly against a pillow on the bed.It was morning already and I only came back up to drop a note beside her since I had to rush off to work. Seeing how I left the previous day, I would want to work and get a lot of unfinished things done, but I could not bring myself to leave without saying something to her. When I had dropped the note, I found myself trapped within the beauty she possessed. How did I ever think that I was never going to overcome? How did I ever think tha
JORDANI stopped in my tracks, those words cut deep into my heart and sent fear pumping through my veins. I would have pretended to have not felt the fear that his threats caused, but I was already standing still and had gone stiff with the threat. But that feeling washed away rather quickly and it was replaced by something else. I let go of my mother’s hand and slowly turned around to look my father in the face. His nose was bloody, his face was red and bruised but that look in his eyes only proved that he was up to no good and knowing my father, he would do a lot worse if I allowed him go to such lengths.“I have always known that you were wicked, heartless and raging mad,” I started towards him again as I adjusted the hands of my suits but my mother held my hand with both of hers and pulled me back in place. I guess she was scared of him and what he could do or maybe, she was scared of me and how I would easily end his life if I had a chance. I had nothing to him, nothing to link h
JORDANI watched my mom walk into the condo casually and felt pain in my heart. She was sacrificing her happiness for me, she was sacrificing her freedom for my happiness and I could not imagine how long she had been doing that for. The staffs who had been taking care of condo welcomed her and escorted her into the house while I turned back to my car and drove off.I had never wanted something so badly in my life. Not even when I wanted Samantha or companionship. I had never craved for life the way I did now, because I never knew what it was like. I always had to just breath and walk and wait to be taken away. I only wanted to be with the woman I loved, believing that it would give me true happiness especially because I felt she was the only one who could understand me. I was so ignorant, so foolish, so cold like a corpse that I never thought outside the box. I never sorted for anything more till she came into my life, ruining everything and stealing what I thought was the most precio
GENESISI had only come out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around my chest. A smile on my face, and the wash I made use of again simply reminding of nothing else and no one else but Jordan. I honestly could not remember how I had left my father’s house and returned back to the master’s bedroom I was slowly beginning to share with Jordan. But that was not the only thing that made my cheek burn, the letter I found beside my bed when I woke up simply topped it up.“Good morning, wife,”“I could not wait up for you to wake up before I left for work. But breakfast would be served once you wake up and I would be back early for dinner. Do not cook anything, you are not permitted to stand for too long. Allow the staffs do their jobs and please, do not spend your entire day at that studio of yours.” My marriage to Jordan was proving to be succeeding and I felt really happy that I gave him the second chance he pleaded for. If I did not, then I would not be so happy. Seeing the note he lef
GENESISUnable to resist the smile that had splashed my lips for the umpteenth time, I turned my eyes to the other direction and finally looked at the man who had made me the happiest woman in the world. He was on his phone, dialing furiously into it, but when he felt my gaze, he turned around and stared at me. A smile appeared at his lips as well as it revealed the perfect set of teeth he had, not to add to the glossiness of his lips.“Where exactly are you taking me to?” I finally asked, still not finding it funny that we have both been riding for thirty minutes and we were still unable to arrive at our destination.“Are you tired of being in the car with me already?” he asked as a devilishly grin plastered his face.“Of course not, I would never choose to be outside when I can be in a car sit with my husband who picks his phone over me,” I whined, even when I was not meaning to. His grin deepened and his eyes sparkled, my cheeks heated up and I realized how clingy I sounded and loo
He grinned at me, flashing me his perfect set of teeth and I quickly realize that he played me. And he could only do that because he could tell what I was feeling and how I was needing him. Angry at myself other than him, I pushed him away and the elevator came to a halt. He grinned even more at me, not minding that he had pissed me off. He brought out the card, swiped it through the elevator, then the door opened. I walked out first, too embarrassed and angry to even be with him. I froze when I found a lot of people in there, each sketching, drawing, typing, and moving about. It was a literal mess in there with how much papers were flying and how much people were in there, all working and going crazy. No one took note of me, though I could see their eyes linger on me and look away like I was not even there. Then I perceived Jordan’s perfume behind me and the entire room came to a halt and went silent like a ghost had just walked through. My heart clenched when I realized that they sa
