JORDANI could hear voices around me. They were light but their words were heavy and their voices grew higher and higher by the second.“I never wanted you here.” Mom was yelling at someone.“I never wanted to be here,” Nathan’s voice followed. They were at it again, every time and they wouldn’t stop being like cat and dog under one roof.“Then go back to your mother,”“She is your sister as well. Don’t act like you are not a relation because you are,”“I cut all ties with your family. Don’t be so cocky and foolish to think that you can come here to steal from my son and wealth.”“I’m only here because your son wanted me to. Do you think I care about you? Or your stupid money? Jordan is the only reason why am here.”“Oh really? Is he?” Mother entered. For a long time, no one said a thing and I could bet that they were glaring at each other.“My only wish was that I knew who you were at the hospital or why you were there, you would have never been able to take her away from me,”“Your

The tears in my eyes ran down my cheeks none stop and my heart hammered inside my chest, while I stormed into the room that I had been sleeping for the past two weeks. The maids took my back inside, clearly relieved that I was not leaving just as Tiana wanted but, I was not sure of the move I was making. It was so stupid to remain in that house when I was not sure if Jordan was coming back to me or not. That thought sent goosebumps to run over my body and I shivered. I crossed my arms over my chest to push away the airy feeling and shook my head at that thought. Jordan was going to come back, nothing happened to him, he was going to come back to me. I fell on my bed the moment I got into the room and simply just remained there just as I had been doing all this while. It was both depressing and strange that I had to keep going through this. And it was more annoying that I was stupid enough to stay. All sensible thing to do was to leave, right? But how could I when Jordan had asked me c

“Wait…what?” I was really confused with the change of attitude. Her soft look turned into a glare, so fierce, I gulped.“You left…you fucking left me,” she growled.“No calls, no texts, no voice mails, no emails, no letters, fuck there was nothing except for a guard who told me that you would want me to sleep well and you would be back soon,” she yelled. I frowned, not understanding the woman in front of me at all. She was fine just now, how could she suddenly get so angry at me?“I couldn’t call or text or send any of those.” I replied calmly to save the situation that had gone out of control so quickly, I expected a lot of things and immediately after we hugged, I thought it was fine. I didn’t expect this.“Why?” she crossed her hand over her chest and glared even harder at me. I gulped and tried to think of something to say that would suit the lie Aiden had foolishly told her.“Genesis…” I tried holding her but she spanked my hand fiercely, making that spot sting as I withdrew my h

GENESISJordan frowned at me, his eyes flicking from my face to something, then back to my face and out again. He was nervous and I could see that he was. What could be so wrong to make him nervous? Because the Jordan I knew had never been so nervous.“Jordan…” I called out again to him. But he slowly took a step away from me, leaving me the coldness that came from his absence. I hated the distance easily and felt a dreadful feeling at the pit of my stomach when I recalled all the feeling that came with his departure for the past two weeks. Strangely, I suddenly became scared, that he was going to disappear again and I would no longer be able to feel the warmth from me.“Jordan...”I started towards him and wrapped my hands around his waist. Not really meaning to persuade him to tell me what was making him nervous but because I hated the distance. Only when I perceived his scent and when the warmth of his body caressed my skin, did I feel somewhat better.Better now…“Now, what is wro

Jordan said nothing to me after the very awkward moment that lasted for a while. We just remained quiet inside the studies while he relaxed his head on my back. I still wondered what got him so angry and questioned if he knew the truth that I was trying to hide so much from him. The silence was gloomy and tiring and though the air wasn’t as tensed, I didn’t like the silence and since he decided to hug me from behind, I could not see his face, I could not understand what he was truly feeling at that moment.“Jordan…” I decided to break the silence.“Hmmm,” once he responded, I thought it to be a good thing. I mean, he was not going all silent on me but I didn’t know what I wanted to say to him anymore.“Hey…Genesis…” Someone suddenly called from the door, to my luck. I sighed in relief and made to get up from where I had been sitting on Jordan’s legs. But my husband saw it nice to have his hands wrapped around my waist and tightened them around me.“Jordan…”“I thought you hated being
