JORDAN

Tears didn't stop coming down her eyes as she stared at me with expressions that looked like gratitude and appreciation. She stared at me like one of those girls who finally met their idol. I understood that girls did that alot whenever they see me buy for a girl her age, I wasn't sure it was normal. 

"It's an honour to have you here?" Mr Connor spoke up with lots of emotions in her voice and I turned to where the both parents stood. They also had that look in their eyes and it made me feel really uncomfortable. 

"Yes, indeed. What happened? Why are you here? Is Genesis alright?" The mom immediately started, worry filled her voice as she came closer to me and I realized how much they really cared about their daughter. 

"Whoaaah, let the man have some peace" her husband said to her and she sighed and turned back to me 

"I'm sorry, it's just...."

  • Get me married   Not the woman I love

    JORDAN I turned to Ava, still confused about what she was saying, her eyes were a bright brownish color but not a blue, like that of her sister. Yet they were bright and beautiful, it also had that same look of appreciation and gratitude it had when she saw him first at their house, and a smile was on her face. "Ava...I don't....." "Oh my God!" She suddenly yelled and turned to the window of the car with wide eyes. "Is that where we are going?" She asked excitedly and anything I was going to say or ask her flew down the window immediately. "Yes...that's our house" I replied her and she shrieked with wide eyes. "That's where my sister lives too?" He asked and I gave her a nod. She shrieked again, loudly, it was killing my ears but for the first time all through our ride, I smiled at her ecstasy and e

    JORDANHer eyes widened at my pronouncement and she opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. I turned back to the house angrily and made my way back to my studies.Samantha was slowly getting on my nerves and what was worse was the feeling of not knowing the woman I fell in love with before now.As a kid, she was always around me, always so close, and we attended the same school together. That was till I started crushing on her, she was beautiful and any guy would have understood why I crushed on her back then. But she wasn't only beautiful, she was kind, sweet, and caring. Always involved in humanitarian activities in school and always goes out of her way to save others.I remembered that one time, I was coming out of the cafeteria when I noticed how the crowds were gathered in a place and went closer to them. A bully had shredded a girl's cloth till she

  • Get me married   Knowing the truth

    JORDANLooking away from Ava, I got up from where I had sat beside her and turned back to the chair behind my desk. The only problem here was that I couldn't sit down, instead, I relaxed my hands on top of the desk. I was a little confused, a little perplexed, and uneasy. Yet I smiled for a little While then I turned back to Ava. she had this confused feeling on her face and her brows were knitted into a frown.How could I have been so stupid? I thought Genesis was at fault, I called her a deceiver, I called her a liar, I called her a deceitful person and I made her pay for lying to me. I put all my anger and annoyance and frustration out on her whenever I could. I could count how many times I mistreated her with my own hands yet it turned out she was just a victim as much as I was.But how could it be possible? This could have been another lie of hers or a formulated story my mother has, my mom

  • Get me married   His guilt

    GENESISI couldn't stop smiling at Ava, I didn't believe that she would be in my house, I never even thought that would be possible in the nearest future, considering how terrible my relationship with Jordan was."You have to stop beaming at me like that" Ava pulled me out of my thought while using a pillow to hit me."I am sorry, I am just so happy to see you," I said and dragged the pillow away from her."Jordan has to be amazing to have brought me here just to make you happy" Ava responded and my smile quickly disappeared. Thinking about Jordan and his little surprise made me wonder what kind of man he was and what would have prompted his changes.I remembered that I had woken up early noon and felt my bones and body had refused to wake up with me. So I lay on the bed for a long time till I started getting hungry and went to the door. The guards

  • Get me married   Genesis's wish

    GENESISI noticed Jordan's attitude and watched the way he left like I was a thief or an infected person he had to stay away from. It made me wonder what happen and why he acted so strange when we had spent the night together and he had brought me back to my room but came up with nothing and watched as the car drove away. I decided that it might as well have been a coincident, he couldn't be running from me. Jordan I knew will never run away from something and I didn't have a mask on my face that would make him run. I shrugged and decided to thank him later for what he had done, I liked the surprise and he had made me happy and with that, I went back into the house with satisfaction. Yes, Ava had left but I was happy, I felt different and relieved and it was all because of Jordan.I went back into the house and turned to the kitchen where I was sure they were preparing dinner. I didn't want to go back to my

    A few days after.GENESIS"Ma'am, you have to eat, you have been in here for a long time now," Margaret said for what seemed to be the hundredth time if not more. But as I had been doing, I ignored her and concentrated on the painting in front of me.Weeks ago I had turned one of the spare rooms into a beautiful studio of mine and had left everything because things came up. That morning I decided to go into the studio and the moment I did, inspirations came, thoughts came, feelings flowed and I was picking my brush and doing what I ought to before I knew it. I poured out my heart into the painting, letting my feelings flow and reminding myself why I loved painting again. It was so early in the morning I left my room and Margaret had been bothering me ever since."I will, just give me a moment," I said to her and heard her groan lowly

    GENESIS"Jordan...." I called out to him and he snapped his attention to me almost immediately."Is something wrong?" I asked sensing the fear in him as I had never before. He wasn't the kind of man to get frightened, neither had he done anything that would warrant him to get scared except it was something I didn't know."No...." He replied and forced a smile. I stared at him, his smile didn't convince me and my uncertainty rose. I couldn't help but ask myself if he was as innocent as he claimed, especially when it concerned my case. I knew Samantha was part of it and had caused all that happened to me. But how sure was I that Jordan wasn't a part of all this too?I sighed heavily at that thought, here we were again going back and forth concerning something that should have been done, closed, and over a long time ago. I turned to the door and back to Jordan."Well...let's go" I turne

    JORDAN"What did I just do?" I questioned myself, annoyed at myself."What was I thinking lying to her like that?" I sighed heavily and looked up at her from where Ii sat at the dinning table, her eyes met mine with nothing but suspicion written all over her, and just like I had been doing for days, I looked away.There was something about those blue eyes of hers, they looked so pure, it expressed her deepest emotions. If you look closely enough, you would know what she feels while looking at those eyes of hers, and just like they mirror her feelings, it feels like they also pierce into the soul of whoever she is staring at.For over some days, guilt had been the only thing eating me up. I found out my girlfriend had indeed kidnapped her as she had been saying all along and I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to send Samantha to jail, and I also wanted justice for Genesis. But m

    My phone rang again and I smiled as I picked up my husband call this time. “Miss me yet, wife,” he teased immediately and I groaned. “No, but the kids want you home.” “Too bad. My flight got delayed.” He sighed. “What?” I jerked up from where I sat. He chuckled. “Easy their wife. I just got to town and would be home soon,” he entered and I sighed. “Bye…” I ended the call abruptly, feeling angry at such expensive joke. I had everything ready already. After two hours, I was perfectly ready and had stepped out of the room and back down only to find out that I was a late host. Everyone was present. My parents, my sister, Tiana, Nate, Tiffany and her fiancée, Jordan’s cousins, their girlfriends, his mom, my p.a and Margaret. Yes her. she was a huge part of Jordan’s life for long and we could not let her to keep being a staff here so we freed her with a lot of money, a house, something to keep her going and a family. “I told you that she might be painting,” Julian’s loud mouth entere

  • Get me married   Thanksgiving

    FOUR YEARS AFTERI ran down the stairs, feeling completely exhausted and disheveled, not to add, disorganized and slightly angry. With my robe on, I decided to check if everything was set and ready. I couldn’t help it, it had to be perfect, it all had to be or I might lose it. Anna strolled into the house at that particular moment, and she stared at me with a wary look as I made my way to the kitchen.“Is everything alright?” she asked in her very sweet voice.“Go change and rest up,” I reprimanded. She had only just returned from college and shouldn’t be concerned by things like that, yet she was ever so humble and would in fact start on chores the moment she returns from college which was slight annoying. We made her go to college for a good reason, to better her life and not to turn out like a staff her entire life, yet she looked so dedicated to being one.“I would the moment you tell me what is wrong,” she followed behind me with dedication and became a nag that I didn’t want at

    GENESISEven in my unconsciousness, I could feel that emptiness inside of me. I could feel the hole, the empty, painful hole that was once filled with life, I could feel the vacuum there. I knew that something was different and I feared what it was. When I opened my eyes, the first sight I wanted to behold was my beloved husband. His scent was the first thing I wanted to caress my nostrils, his warmth the next feel I wanted to feel against my cold skin. But he wasn’t there as I had hoped. And that had shattered whatever was left inside of me. He had threatened to leave me, maybe he did.The fear of such possibility had made me fear and panic especially when I didn’t see him around me. It scared me but the familiar faces gave me a little bit of comfort. They were family and ones I loved. They had such effect on me. Not till I recalled what happened, how I fell. My hands had voluntarily found its way to my stomach where I wanted to feel the life inside of me. I was in a hospital for sur

    I could hear my baby crying in my ears. Screaming in pain and asking me why I did what I did. I could imagine the judging, hateful look those blue eyes would give to me once she opens her eyes and the pain that would show itself in those eyes of hers. The pain was enough to consume me, to burn me, to torment me. With heaviness in my chest, I looked away from her unconscious body, lying on the bed with families around her. I could not bare to look at her, I could not dare to even think of going close to her, not what after I had done.I should have been more patient, more careful, more tolerant, I should have attempted to listen to her. But I didn’t. It was not her fault and I would have accepted my own child. She came at a time that our world was dark and I was about to lose my life, she came way before I decided that I didn’t want to have a baby, and like a miracle, she survived. How I snuffed the life out of her.I would forever live with this pain, wouldn’t I? This guilt, the memor

    JORDANThe scream….The screams…The scream of my wife and the staff was what it took me to stop. Fear engulfed me and swallowed me whole, leaving every anger, betrayal and pain I felt earlier. I snapped my gaze back to the direction I had come from, knowing that her scream came from there.“No…” I screamed, seeing her rolling down the stairs. I could feel life leaving me at the sight of her. My legs started towards her as fast as I could just as everyone else. She came to a halt at the edge of the step and my heart died at her position. Then the blood.“Oh God! No…no…no….”“Get the car,” I screamed, feeling tears burn my eyes while I slowly placed her head on my thighs. She was bleeding and still fucking naked with just that robe.“Get the car,” I cried at the top of my lungs, fearing for the worse. I immediately checked for her pulse, praying, hoping, wishing that it would not come to that. I might as well die if it did.We rushed her to the hospital and the doctors immediately plac

    GENESISI took a longer time in the bathroom this time around. The heat and steam of the shower had become my comfort and I was scared of leaving it. I would only return to our bedroom that had turned to a hunting ground for me. Each place and thing smelt of my husband and with the feel of him reminded me of the anger he had against me and the secret I had adamantly been keeping away from him.I missed him, each part of me missed him. It was almost like life was leaving me slowly and gently, yet I couldn’t stop it. Not that I couldn’t, I still didn’t know how to. I looked down on my tummy to notice the slight bump that showed the life growing inside of me. It was still so small and with my present choice of clothing, no one could notice. But how long? He deserved to know, I had to tell him and explain to him how it all happened. I had to before I completely ruin our marriage.I sighed heavily, feeling a familiar burn in my chest area while my hand ran in a circular motion around my s

    JORDANI ended the meeting and shook the hands of the Russian investors. In a polite tone and a business manner, I thanked them and watched them leave the restaurant before I left. I got to the car and thought of what was left for me to do before I returned home.The thought of home made me smile, yet it made my heart ache. I had been away for five days and things had still not changed between Genesis and I. she was hiding something from me and I was losing my mind. I picked up my phone and stared at my wallpaper for a while. It was a picture of her, sleeping, and it was the most beautiful I had seen her. But again, she was beautiful in all ways, especially when she had her blue eyes opened. My heart ached and still longed for her.Just in the nick of time, she called and my heart leaped inside my chest. I picked it up quickly because I had missed her, I missed her voice, her face, her warmth, I missed being close to her. I simply missed her.“When are you coming home?” her whinny voi

    “What happened?” Tiffany pulled me into a hug the moment I walked into the house and once again, I broke down before her. She took me to the sitting room where I sat down and cried my eyes out while she soothed my hair and simply allowed me cry.I recalled the pain in my husband’s eyes when I told him that I could not tell him the truth. I recalled the hurt, the pain, the fear I saw within those gazes, it burned my chest. I had looked him in the face and told him that I could not tell him the truth. What kind of wife was I? I was breaking all the promises we made to each other and keeping this, this preciousness away from him.“What happened to her?” I heard Tiana voice as her footsteps followed too.“She came in this way,” Tiffany answered and rubbed my back gently. None of them said a thing and simply comforted me while I cried till, I could no longer do that anymore.I drank a cup of water after which and I relaxed into the couch with the heaviness of the world on me.“I still can’

    Days went by with nothing much happening. Jordan was constantly busy with work or simply being a loving husband while I grew lazier by the day. It was a good thing I had subordinates to handle my business, I would have totally been thrown into the dust with the rate at which my laziness grew. I slept more, ate more, slept more again, ate even more. My taste buds were also acting different, making me want something entirely different and hating things I love too. Margaret would usually get me what I want no matter how it got and she paid even closer attention to me now.I suspect she knew exactly what was going on with me, but had not said a thing, so I was happy about it and relaxed with her. However, I tried to sleep less and control myself when my beloved husband was available.It was burdening and aching my heart as the day goes by. But what was I supposed to do? I still hadn’t found a way to tell him what it was that was going on and I still didn’t have the boldness to speak out l
