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
“Do you think it was easy to actually bring you out of the bathtub and not want to run my hands all over your body? do you think it was easy to sleep next to you and not want to hold you and kiss you till morning comes? Do you think it was easy to leave you and go to work every morning? Your blue eyes plague my mind, they are even more beautiful than anything I have ever seen. I don’t have to see your body to get intoxicated, I just have to think of those eyes. Not to speak of your smile, it’s like the world becomes heaven when you smile. I die every day from restraining myself, I fight with myself to never look at you for too long. Do you know how I fight with myself to be so playful rather than take you and pin you down underneath me? how I try not to flirt or ogle you? How I try not to desire you just as much I truly want? Can you imagine what it was like for me to see Roman holding you, naked?” he shook, his voice shook, it turned cold, it turned heavy, it paled my bones.“Making
The smile on my lips stretched and stretched and stretched till it could no longer stretch again. With Jordan’s arm on my mine, we walked the step while pictures of us were taken from all angles. Samantha retreated to a corner at our ascension, I mean she had to. I just told everyone that she had me kidnapped twice, they would come for their questions and till she was ready to defend herself, she could as well run or hide for all I care. Moreover, she wanted I and Jordan to be away from each other, to get a divorce and end what was already starting so smoothly for us. Her plan backfired and if I was her, with a little bit of sense, I would run, run and run then I would hide my face in shame and disgust and never turn back to look at anybody again. Exactly how it would be.“Hey…” Jordan whispered and I turned my attention to him. The grin on his lips caught at my heart, the handsome look on his face made me drool and his eyes were glowing under the night.“What you did back there,” he
I gave him a nod and turned back to the wine glass I still held in my hand. I was still very much angry over what had happened earlier. I could not help myself neither could I stop myself from feeling the rage that was swelling inside of me. I looked around to find men and women all dressed in amazing attires and high shoulders move around like it was where they were meant to be. I didn’t feel like it was where I was meant to be anymore and knowing that the words of that Skylar affected me to such an extent made me feel even more angry at myself.“Genesis…” Jordan’s warm hand clapped mine then he gently took the glass away from me. I still refused to look at him, because I was unwilling to. Was he embarrassed of me? did he find some kind of truth in what Skylar said? was that why he didn’t bother to defend me? I kept asking myself and the thought of it simply made the anger in my heart worsen.“Are you not going to look at me?” he asked and placed his hand on my chin. His voice had a
