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
“I still can’t believe you did that.” Jordan smiled pulled me closer to him and I flashed him a glare. I felt really guilty for going to such an extent, but she had caused it.“If you had only stopped her, I wouldn’t have hurt her,” I snapped.“I actually like that you did that. Damn, no one would dare come close to me again if you do that to them,” he felt really proud of what I did and I didn’t understand.“She might go to the reporters to say something bad and tarnish your image again.”“She wouldn’t there. I’m have a major share in that company, no one would dare upset me. More over my cousins would make her life a living hell if she goes to such length.” He explained.“Still, I shouldn’t have hurt her,” I sighed.“Well, she shouldn’t have upset you.” He retorted, not helping matters at all.“You have this strength about you, a hidden one that only bust out when you are angry or hurt.” He added. I thought about it for a while and understood what he was saying. I had always been th
JORDANI glanced at my watch and gritted my teeth as I saw how late it had gotten. It was never my intention to end up missing dinner and definitely not a plan of mine to not pick Genesis up. I had just got caught up with work again and had lost track of time. I thought of how pissed she must be, I was supposed to pick her up from the studio and instead I had missed it, and even missed dinner all together. My head was racking and I was already thinking of an apology, a speech I would give to make it all perfect again. It was perfect all day, and I had to ruin it.My thoughts were still restless and my heart was beating loudly inside my chest. My uneasiness over missing her and missing dinner was much, too much in fact but I thought nothing of it, not till my phone rang and I found that it was one of the security men I had kept with her earlier. My throat went dry and for a strange reason my hands became sweaty. They had no reason at all to call, not unless something had gone terribly
“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
