JORDAN
I took a hot shower and prepared myself for the day. I left work very early the previous day and by doing that I had left a lot of things undone. I simply wanted to go back to continue what I had started. I was almost done when the sound of knocking came on my door and I resisted the urge to groan at the disturbance. But I said nothing nor made any attempt to open the door and just continued with what I was doing. I buttoned my shirt from down to up and picked up my jacket when the door opened on its own and I swiftly turned around to rain fire and who it might be. My eyes fell on Margaret and I glared at her, while she openly grinned at me. Then I look away, knowing that I could not do anything to her. She was more like a guardian than a maid to me and I had respect for her no matter what the case was.
“You should atleast have said nothing, I was standing at that door for a long time, Jordan,” she star
GENESISThe words which I wanted to spit out of my mouth suddenly ran back into my throat and I could only gaped at the man in front of me with annoyance, confliction and surprise. Who was this man in front of me and where is the Jordan that I had learned to live with? Was he really the same Jordan that left me at the alter on our wedding day? The same Jordan who never returned for days and when he did, he came back with a woman by his side. The woman he loved with his whole being, the one he claimed I had pretended to be. Was this the same Jordan or this was a different man.I still found it hard to connect this two Jordan as one. One time I had been so scared of this man, I never went close to him and every time I accidentally did that, he had hurt me. That Jordan never wanted to protect me, he wanted to hurt me and he wanted me out of his life in all possible way. Whereas this Jordan was caring, he made sure I ate, applied o
GENESIS Jordan stared at me with his brows furrowed like he did not understand a thing I said to him and it only got me angrier. “What are you talking about?” he questioned immediately after and took a few steps towards me. The questions I wanted to ask suddenly ran back inside my throat while my eyes suddenly became conscious of his looks. His scent immediately clouded my thoughts and I found myself wanting him to come closer. I shook my head instantly and looked away from him, while I mentally slapped myself for being so stupid. Turning to mom Leona, I saw the look she gave me and the questions with that look. “Genesis,” came Jordan’s voice and I turned to him again. The anger and words I wanted to say suddenly disappeared and I quickly lost the boldness to speak. “Can we go shopping now?” I turned to mom Leona and forced a smile. There was no need to speak to Jordan when he clearly knew what he was doing to me. This was his plan all
GENESISThe ride back home was the complete opposite of the ride we had earlier. There was no tension in the air, no bad feelings between us and no conflict or confusion in my heart. It was the perfect feeling, the perfect feeling of peace that I had been craving for such a long time. My heart felt joyful and happy and I could not have honestly asked for anything more.Turning to the other side, my eyes fell on Jordan and my cheek heated up as a smile appeared on my lips. I looked away from him, embarrassed at my childish behaviour and turned back to the window through which I could view the entire city as it drove past large buildings, scenario and a lot more. It did not look so glum as it had looked earlier, there was a beauty to it that I did not notice as well or maybe my heart had been the glum one. The peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the loud ring of my phone and I picked up, jerking away from the win
JORDANPeace had never sounded so perfect, neither had it ever felt so perfect in my heart. I got the fresh start that I needed and I got an opportunity to make things right again. My heart had never felt so whole, not even when Samantha was with me. Maybe because this was not Samantha. It was Genesis and maybe it was because her forgiveness was from the purest of her heart and my guilt and need to be forgiven was deeper than most of the precious feelings I had ever felt. Whatever the case maybe, I liked this feeling, I like the joy and happiness I felt and I was willing to do anything to keep it.I smiled to myself and once again I got distracted from work when the event of the day played in my head. My thoughts and mind have not been able to let go of the things she said, it had not been able to forget the tears that came out from her eyes and it had not been able to forget the way she forgave me. The lingering feel of her ar
GENESIS Coming back to the house, I went up to my room without paying a lot of attention to any one even when I noticed that Margaret and the rest had questions in their eyes. I ignored all the taunting looks, all the scared looks and was still in my own little world where I could afford to hope for a better day. I could live my life now in peace and not be scared that a supposed mistress with the help of my husband would want to kill me. I could live now and enjoy the life in which I was forced to live. But most importantly, this hope, this new feeling came with a new life. Every girl’s dream was to be happy, no matter their goals and ambition. Money minded or not, every one of us want to have that fairy tale wedding, we want to have that loving husband who would shield us, protect us, care and love us like no other person would. We want a man who we could call our own, we want that fairy tale prince that would swe
GENESIS Sleep was far from me, no matter how hard I tried to. I kept rolling from one side of the bed to the other, forcing myself to close my eyes but no matter how tightly I shut my eyes, sleep never came. So, I gave up and just decided to read a book. I still had some that I had not finished and since I was completely jobless at that point, I picked a book. Flipping to the page I stopped at my last read, I continued. The mansion was very quiet, just like it always was during the night and for some reason my thoughts went back to terrible nights I had. Flashes of a man with a knife walking into my room popped into my mind and I quickly shut the book. I stared at the door and got up from where I had sat. Turning towards it, I made sure the door was locked, then I went back to the bed. I picked up the book again and continued from where I stopped. The lines seemed to be smaller and the sentenc
GENESIS I glared at Jordan, completely spooked by the piece of information he just gave me. If he noticed my glaring, he didn’t show it, because he was busy getting cereal from the cupboard. He dropped it on the table, stole a glance at me and went ahead to get some plates. Then he came back to the table and helped himself with the cereal while I simply glared at him. When he was done, he passed me a plate but food was no longer important to me anymore. We were going to have dinner with his parents, not just Leona but his dad. Liam did not like me, the way he stares at me, the way he hates me, his cold expression, his scaring demeanor and the last time he had seen me. No, I could not have dinner with them and he knew about this, he knew that I could not sit and have dinner with him and that was why he saved me from his mother earlier, how could suddenly have accepted. “Come on, eat,” he pushed the plate towards me and handed me a spoon.
GENESISOf course, I agreed to go shopping with Jordan because he asked me again but the honest truth of it all was that I was not all in neither was I as excited as I was earlier. And with Jordan’s expression, I could tell that he was not as excited as well. He had a horrible frown on his face and he looked conflicted and in thought as well. He was gloomy and I did not need a seer to tell that he was thinking about Samantha. It kind of made me feel like shit. Just the mention of her name totally made me feel like a girl stealing another girl’s man. I was legally married to Jordan, yes, but his heart and soul belonged to that wretch that was why his mood changed when her name was mentioned.I stole a glance at him, probably for the hundredth time, he was looking out the window with his hand to his chin and in deep thought. Shopping no longer felt good and I realized that I made a mistake.&ldquo
