JORDAN
I said nothing to her ridiculous demands and walked away, leaving her behind. I had to eat, I had to sleep, I had to return to work, I had to look for the kidnappers and who was the master mind behind every thing. I didn't have time for her drama.I went downstairs and sat down at the dinning table. Margaret came out of the kitchen with my breakfast just in time and I dug in immediately. I started eating soon after and looked at the chair that was opposite mine at the edge of the table, the seat Genesis always liked seating on was empty and again I found myself thinking about her. She had a panic attack the previous night, it got me worried.
"Margaret" I called out.
"Yes sir" she replied almost immediately and stood by my side like she never left."Genesis had a panic attack last night, when her doctor comes to check on her, inform him about it" I said with out turninGENESISThe inspector still had nothing and the guys that they let free on bail were no where to be found. It was like the case was going nowhere in the least and everything wasn't going the way I wanted. Samantha was still in my house when she was supposed to be in jail. I didn't want to live in the same house with her because I didn't know what it was she would be planning next. And the kidnapper I had shot was still no where to be found.Exhausted and hungry, I decided to go back home. I came across the side restaurant where I always hung out with T_squad. It wasn't the usual five star hotel that I was now used to but it was the only place I knew then in college. And I decided to drop by and have my lunch there.All eyes turned to me when I went into the restaurant. Most people in there were the familiar faces of people I knew before, usual customers. I smiled and waved at them before
GENESISI raised my head up and stared at the cold eyes of Jordan. I swallowed hard and thought of ways he could possibly kill me. My vomit was all over him and my stomach still ached. He stared down at his body and stared back at me. His gaze was cold and angry and I found myself moving away from him while forcing a smile."Are you crazy?" He yelled coldly. My head suddenly felt like it was spinning and my knees grew weak underneath me. I braced myself to fall hard on the ground when I felt strong arms and felt myself being lifted from the ground. Jordan's cologne was the next thing I perceived and I leaned into him as he swept me off the ground. The sweet smell of his cologne was mixed with the stench of my vomit on him but I held onto him anyway and felt him start moving while I had my eyes shut to stop them from spinning.I felt something hard and cold underneath
GENESIS"Hey" I felt someone squat close to me, followed by Jordan's voice. Then I felt his strong arms wrap itself around me, then he lifted me off the ground and made me sit on the bed. I didn't fight it because I actually felt safe with him. He sat beside me and I stared at him, before I felt something drip down to my forehead. I touched it with my hands and felt warm liquids, and looked at it, it was blood. My eyes traveled to the ground and I also saw blood, the imprint of my foot scattered the whole place with blood and the broken vase on the floor."Someone was here. He...it was.." I stuttered and turned to Jordan gripping him by his shirt remembering the face of that bastard."The man who almost raped. The head of those kidnappers, he was here, in this room and he....." I trailed off when Samantha came walking in. She had a smile on her face and her arms were across her chest. I wa
GENESISI groaned loudly in my attempt to let out some steam. How could Jordan insinuate that I had done everything on purpose? I was hurt, I was scared, and yet he had the guts to come into my room and tell me how mad I was.I knew what I saw, I knew what I felt, my kidnapper had been to my room and he had hurt me, I wasn't going mad, I was too sure of it to believe that it could be an illusion. I was so angry at Jordan and also disappointed in myself. I still didn't understand why I was always looking for something different, thinking he would be better or change or act like an actual person with correct reasoning. The past few days I had been expecting too much from him and getting disappointed every time.I shook my head and pushed off the thought of Jordan from my mind. I had more pressing needs, so I decided to think. Samantha was right when she said the security had been tripled. No one could come into
GENESISLunch was eaten quietly. Jordan and his mistress were seated in their usual seats and I noticed them staring at me. Samantha looked angry after my announcement to the guards, she should be scared, but Jordan's expression was something I couldn't understand. Still, I didn't mind them neither did I care about what they thinking or feeling in their hearts. I had enough problem in my plate as it was. After lunch, I remained seated in that spot for sometime and allowed all I had eaten to just settle down. I also remained seated because I knew I had to climb back to my room again, which isn't the best place to be because of all the scary things that had been happening but I still had to go to my room at least to escape Jordan and Samantha and just to be alone in peace. But the pain in my foot discouraged me to get up from where I had sat.Occasionally I would look up at the staircase and look away. Each time I stared at
GENESISIt was yet another night and I was left alone to protect myself from my insane pursuer. I had requested Anna to get me a knife. I kept it close to me in my bed because I was ready to kill anyone who came close to me. Even Anna and Margaret had suggested that they sleep in the same room as me but I declined, though I would have loved it if they did. I didn't want to put anyone in danger, it was my fight after all and I had to prove that I wasn't going to let anyone intimidate me.I left my light turn on this time and went to bed while the knife laid beside me, then I turned my back to the door just so my pretend sleep could be believable. Even when I knew I could never sleep no matter what I did, my room was a scary place to be in and so was my sleep. Why bother sleeping?I remained awake but kept myself still for what seemed like hours. But I heard my door open slow
JORDAN"What did you do?" She screamed the moment she turned around and saw his face."Is he the one?" I found myself asking and pulling her closer even as she tried walking away from me."What have you done?" She mumbled while placing her hands on her mouth and pulling herself away from me."What are you talking about?" I asked her and tried stopping her from going to see the man who was lying dead with his real face revealed."What did you do?" She raised her voice and yanked her arms away from me, almost falling herself."I don't understand you," I said with confusion and her eyes widened with rage."You killed him" she yelled."He was pointing a gun at you" I yelled back and her eyes softened. She turned to the dead body and stared at him."Was he?""Yes," I answered."Is he the one?" I inquired of her going
SAMANTHA I turned around and was unable to look at Jordan as his accusing gaze pierced into my skin. "What..." Came his voice and I felt like disappearing immediately. I realized that I shouldn't have said a thing, but he had said he would help me if only he knew the truth. It made me feel like he would understand me and help me. But the look he had on his face suddenly made me think otherwise. "Uhmmm.." "You just said that you did this for us," he said and came closer to me. "No...I didn't...I meant..." I stuttered and I knew I was doing a bad job for a criminal mastermind just like myself but I couldn't find anything reasonable to say and feeling Jordan's eyes on me made it worse. "Samantha" he growled and I flinched. I hated when he was this way, he knew how to scare me whenever he was like this. And he knew how to get the truth out of me most times. Jordan was my friend and w
