Chapter 4
Gina’s POV
I remained on the floor with everything flashing before my eyes and my birthday was ruined because of everything.
I heard a knock at my door and I knew it was Mrs. Sarah, “Come in.”
She came in with my cake and placed it on the floor with me, “It’s still your day, why not make a wish?” She said to me with a smile as she tried to make me happy since it was just a few hours left to midnight.
I finally blew off the candles and made a wish that my marriage will Liam would never be broken and that we would love each other till the very end.
Mrs Sarah wished me good night and I locked the door behind her when she left I walked to my painting room and sat down looking at the empty board, the only way I can sleep is to ease my mind by doing what I love the most which is painting, I need to paint out my heart to feel my true self again and I hope by tomorrow things will get better and Mariam will be out for good as well.
I didn’t know when I slept off and I ended up having conception dreams, I got scared because of the dream, what if the dream is about Mariam and the child she is having is really for my husband? What will become of me?
I can’t take it anymore, I need to get dressed and head to Liam’s office, maybe I should see him for us to talk about things and I hope things will only get better after that.
I finished getting ready and decided to get breakfast when I was told Mariam threw my breakfast away and she has been insulting and threatening everyone who refuses to obey her saying she will make sure once Liam comes home, she will make him sack him Immediately.
I didn’t want bad energy this morning so I left the house and stopped by the coffee shop to get my coffee and when I finished I drove directly to Liam’s office, seeing his car parked in the parking lot, I knew he was in at the moment.
I met with the secretary who told me to come back later saying Liam has some important meeting at the moment and he can’t be disturbed meaning I need to come back from 1 pm maybe by then he will be free so I took the opportunity to visit the Art Gallery and I was happy seeing a lot of person taking an interest in my very own artwork.
“Mrs. Gina, I didn’t know you were here, so happy to see you,” Rebecca said to me with a smile and we hugged, well Rebecca is the Director here, and she allowed me to display some of my artwork here, this is what I do when I get bored at home or when my husband is busy at work again.
We conversed about so many things and she told me about an exhibition coming up and since I was one of the best, she wants me to paint something unique, emotional and addictive as well.
I checked the time and it was already time to leave for my husband’s office but she insisted on buying me a meal and she would be so sad if I turned her down so I agreed and we ate together at a fancy restaurant close by.
A few moments later, I was already present at Liam’s company and got the same feedback from the secretary.
“I am Liam’s wife, he will be wanting to see me as well, it’s urgent please just let me in to talk with my husband.”
“I am sorry ma’am but sir Liam gave us strict orders not to let you in, I guess you should go home and wait for him.”
“What do you mean that my husband gave an order not to let his wife in? tell him, Gina, his wife is here to see him, I beg of you.”
“Ma’am I passed the message to you already and there is nothing I can do about it, if you don’t mind, I have other tasks to carry out.” She said. She took her seat and focused more on the computer on her table and I found it so sad that my husband was refusing to see me, I knew so well this was lunch break but why? if I did something wrong he should at least tell me what I did wrong and not treat me this way because I am weak,
I can’t take this anymore, I am going in by all means to see Liam, he is the one hurting me and I demand an explanation from him.
I made my way into his office and I saw him talking to two beautiful ladies with a smile written on his face, I had never seen Liam smile that way to me before, he looked so happy talking with the ladies and making them happy.
“Liam.” I called his name and when he looked at me, the smile faded off and I saw no affection in his eyes when he questioned me, “Gina, why are you here?”
“I am here to see you, why won’t you let me in?”
He stood up and walked close to me saying, “Gina, do me a favour and go home, stop acting childish, I will be home soon and resolve everything.”
“Really, Liam? You want me to go home so you can have enough time to flirt with them? Do you even care about me, your wife? Do you know how bad you are hurting me? Who is Mariam and why is she in our home?”
“GINA!!! GO HOME, DON’T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF.” He raised his voice at me and I cried running out of his company.
Chapter 5Gina’s POV“GINA!!! GO HOME, DON’T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF.” He raised his voice at me and I cried running out of his company.I got to my car and my hands were shaking, I cried out my eyes trying to get into my car, what Liam was doing to me was so unfair, is he angry that I ruined things when I came into the office? Was he planning to take those two ladies to bed? What happened to the sweet Liam I used to know when I came newly to Grandpa's home after I lost my parents?“Gina, let’s get married.” Sweet Liam said to me.“Married? but we never dated”“Doesn’t matter, okay a contract marriage, after three years, if it doesn't turn out well we can end it and please don’t say no, I really need us to get married as soon as possible when the time comes, I will tell you why.”I thought he was too shy to express his feelings to me and I concluded maybe he wanted us to give it a shot and once love grows among us, we are going to be happy though it was too sudden, people said a lot of
Chapter 6 Gina’s POVI drove out of the hospital at a very high speed and tears rushed down from my eyes like a running tap, how could he do this to me? Does it mean everything he cares about is just his inheritance, oh stupid me, I kept assuming if we were together he would finally have feelings for me.I noticed the police signs so I had to slow down and park quietly, guess I'm in trouble for driving at such a speed.I pressed the window button to roll down and faked a smile after wiping off my tears, “Hi officer.”“Is everything okay ma’am?”“Yes office, I am sorry for driving above the speed limit, I guess I got too excited for a while.” I lied with a smile.“Can you please come down from the car?” He said, I just have to obey the police officer to avoid getting issues with them.His other colleagues checked my car and they asked for my means of identification which I gave to them and one of them said, “You are Master Liam’s wife?”I tried to answer but the words refused to com
Chapter 7Gina’s POV “I know you are all the same, tell me what you are worth for the years we have been together as husband and wife and I will wire the money to your account immediately.”“Liam, are you human at all? I devoted my life to loving you and being your wife for three years.”“And so?" He replied with his eyes looking so cold and he continued, "I remember vividly telling you we can end it after three years if it doesn’t work out so why are you being so dramatic about it?”“Wait a minute, you had it all planned out right? You know you will end it, I can’t believe this and to think you can use your damn money to buy me off, how heartless of you, I don’t f**king need your money, Liam, go to hell.” I pushed him still crying and when I tried to hit him again, he grabbed me by the hands and pushed me to the ground, “I will be leaving the house now, by the time I return, I never wished to see you or your shadow lurking around my house, u
Chapter 8 A Month Earlier Liam’s POV I finished having sex with Gina and while she went to the bathroom to have her bath, I left the house and drove over to the hotel where I could get my space. I sat close to my system already placed in the hotel VIP room, I love coming here always and most of my jobs I do it from here. I checked the firewall and I noticed some idiots were trying to break in, I gave a smirk because they don’t know I am the god of all hackers and in less than ten minutes I was done and not only did I protect the company, I hacked into the company of those trying to get into mine and left a note saying, “If you are going to hack into my business, stop using amateurs.” I stood up from my seat with a big smile on my face and headed to the bathroom to shower. Coming out of the bathroom, I came across Gina’s missed calls, what does she want anyway? There was no point for me to call her back so I texted her,” Do not call me for now, I am busy with work.” I kept the pho
Chapter 9 Liam’s POV Daniel stepped out as well, “I want you to get lost.” I made myself clear to him. “Sure, I will do that because you are unbelievable at times but before that, you are not him, always knows that.” “Thank you for the lecture Daniel, I need to be alone now, leave.” “I will get going now, see you tomorrow.” He said taking his leave and I said loudly, “Why don’t you go check on her yourself since you are so worried about her.” “Arrogant jerk.” I heard him mumble but I acted like I didn’t hear him say anything. I decided to take a walk in the hotel I was, Daniel ruined my night for me and all thanks to him, where I was I notice ladies trying their best to get my attention, I ignored them, they are all bitches looking for means to get laid by a rich dude like me but not going to happen, not on my watch. “Hello handsome, are you alone? Do you need someone to keep you warm tonight? It’s cold you know?” she tried to touch me and I raised my voice at her, “Take your f
Chapter 10Liam’s POVIt was time to leave after breakfast with my grandpa, and Daniel came himself. “Greetings Grandpa.”“Daniel, how are things with you? I hope this brat is not giving you trouble at work?”“A little but he can never win,” Daniel said.“Hope you both know I am still present here?” I said and Grandpa hit me again saying, “You punk.”“Why are you always hitting me grandpa, for petite sake I am not 16 but 28.” He hit me again and Daniel laughed at the whole thing.“Really?”“I will stop hitting you when you start acting human meathead, now get lost, tsk tsk.” Grandpa added.“Your brat of a grandson will take his leave right now, bye for now.” I let out a smile and Grandpa smiled going back into the house.“At least there is still someone you fear the most in this world.”“Go to hell, give me the keys I will drive, what time is the business deal starting?”“The next one hour.” He replied.“Let’s get going there.” I added.*I got all set to leave the house again when Gi
Chapter 11 Liam’s POV“I am so sorry for that, hope it won’t ruin our business relationship?” I apologise to the ladies.“No problem at all, is she your wife?” Clara asked looking at me like I just committed murder.“Yes, she has issues that’s why I don’t like her coming to the company,” I said with a fake smile.“But that was harsh sir Liam, I know I should not be saying this but you should have talked to her with love, so we will take our leave now,” Mara added.“Why? We are not done yet.” I said trying to control my temper.“We will fix another day for the meeting, your wife left with tears, I advise you to go to her now and make peace with her.” They walked out and I hated Gina the more for the stunt she just pulled. I guess she is popular these days since everyone is talking about her.I called the secretary to my office and shouted at her, “I am sorry sir, I tried to stop her.” She went on her knees.“Just one simple job and you failed, you are fired, get out.”“Sir please, I
Chapter 12Liam’s POV“There is fire on the mountain.” He said with worries in his eyes.“What is it? I hate to be kept in suspense.” I was already getting scared because I know Daniel so well, when he is joking he is playful but when he is serious, he always gives a look on his face that I can’t describe.“He escaped.”“WHAT??”“How is that possible? We pay hugely and the place is heavily guarded.”“What do we do? Grandpa will be worried if he finds out.”“Tell them not to call him,” I suggested and already I just couldn’t breathe properly.“I have done that they won’t call him, don’t you worry, handle this present issue with you and I will make sure he is found today.”“Thank you, man, I really don’t know what I could have done without you man.” I hugged him and he left.I tried to get myself together and went back in, Mariam listed a few things she needed and she also mentioned that she wanted homemade food, I wished I hadn’t gotten myself involved in this mess at the first place b
