The morning came so quickly. It looked like it was also against me and had risen quicker than it usually rose. Maybe, they also didn’t want me to spend time with her. My flight had been booked and I had to leave soon and early too. I had postponed by movement by two days because of the woman who was next to me and my mother was not getting pleased anymore, neither were the doctors. They had suggested that I went on with the procedures here in the state, but I had refused. I didn’t want suspicion or sudden news to break out about my current situation and knowing how small of a state it actually was, I could bump into someone I know or Genesis could find out somehow. But if I was reported to be away and out of the country for business, no one would want to poke their nose into my business and it would be better to hide that way.With a stifled yawn, I opened my eyes and turned to greet my wife a good morning, when I realized that she wasn’t there. I frowned, hating the thought of not se
Her voice sounded scared, like she was certain that I might not return and it scared me. But of course, I needed more of her love and without her request, I was going to return. “Yes, my love,” I responded with a smile. “Make sure you eat, sleep and don’t move out without guards. Do you hear? Also, stay away from Nate, my father and anything that has to do with them and that Tiana friend of yours,” I instructed, suddenly remembering all the things I wanted to warn her about. She smiled for a second and nodded her head. “Better don’t look at any women out there,” she chided and I chuckled. If only she knew how beautiful she was, she would understand that other women were simply garbage in my eyes. “If I do, go ahead and kill me,” I stamped my feet on the ground and turned a serious face like a soldier, making her chuckle. “Nice, comrade, I hold you by your word,” she responded and I chuckled. I took a deep breath immediately after, it was officially time to leave, to look for a lif
GENESISMy heart was beginning to ache again and my thoughts were running wide with more thoughts. I had not heard from Jordan for over a week and it was beginning to get me sick to the stomach. He had truly said that he would not be reachable before he left and even told me that he would not be available anymore but I had hoped that it won’t be so and even if he had to be unreachable, it would only be for a few days. I truly believed that it would not be so bad because we talked frequently the first few days and weeks he left. But not being able to reach him anymore was scaring the hell out of me. Sleep had started evading my eyes and my mind was always wondering where he was or what he was doing.I sighed seeing that the sun was up and got up from the bed weakly. The room was beginning to get lonely as the day went by and my heart was beginning to ache. Talking with him was better than not being able to hear from him at all and the three weeks he spoke off had elapse. Did something
I stared at my reflection with a gloom look on my face. Nothing seemed right, nothing seemed good, nothing seemed perfect, nothing seemed to be worth it anymore. All I could see was a girl who missed her husband and who is worried sick for him. How could he not be reachable? He might be sick? He might be dying, he might be in a hospital, he might need me. But there was a big possibility that he didn’t feel any of this. If he did, he wouldn’t have allowed me remain in the same depressed state I was in. My husband would have come to me, to hold me, to kiss me and whisper loving words in my ears where I would no longer be able to let go.But what if he can’t come to you?I swallowed loudly and felt a tightening feeling in my chest. My annoyance was gone in a swift mood and that question rang in my head as a miserable feeling settled on me. I was so worried about him, it felt like I would lose my mind anytime soon if I heard nothing.His cousins were not back yet, so I certainly could not
With a deep breath, then an exhale, I stepped out of the house. It was sunny, but the air was cold and I was grateful for the coat I was putting on. I wore a white gown that stopped above my knees and a pair of white heels and a black colored coat that was just as long as the gown I was putting on. My makeup was heavy but the shade I was putting on did well to hide this. Then I packed my hair into an updo and wore jewelries and a matching bag.Lots of guards were outside of course and a car was ready for me. Jasmine was right beside me, and she was doing her job. Listing the names of people who I had specially invited and names of the artists whose art would also be exhibited. I was partly listening to her as she spoke and partly thinking about my mother-in-law and my father-in-law who I had spoken to earlier. I was about to step into the car that had the doors wide and open for me when my eyes caught sight of something sparkling and shining. I stopped in my tracks and turned to the e
“You look amazing,” Tiffany began and I smiled. I turned my eyes to Tiana and noticed she was staring at me. She had a very dark look on her face and pitying look in her eyes that I was beginning to hate. Everyone was looking at me that same way these days and it was no longer funny.“Is there something on my face?” I snapped, not meaning to. She lowered her gaze immediately, still not uttering a word.“Genesis,” Tiffany held my arm, probably trying to calm me down and it worked. I took a deep breath, exhaled and turned to her.“I think I should leave you two now,” I forced a smile her way, feeling the happiness that I had felt earlier disappear from my heart.“You must feel like shit with your husband,” Tiana immediately entered and I turned to her. She was looking at me now with a sad smile on her face.“I’m sorry,” she began.“I know I did wrong, I know you finally found happiness and I became the villain who was ready to take it away from you. I know you love him just as he loves
“What?” I pulled my hands away from her immediately.“I had returned to the Chase mansion and was made to continue my life with Liam Chase. The fake Liam Chase who I had come to know as my husband over the years. Jordan grew up knowing that man, loving that man and believing that he was his father just as the world believed that he was Liam Chase. No one ever knew of this, not even my sister. She had left and I had cut ties with her, never to see her again. Even when she got married or when she had a son, I had no clue till Jordan brought Nate to the company with the claim that he was his cousin.” She explained rapidly. For one, I understood why she didn’t like Nate at least. His mother betrayed her and the son brought him back. Under a very terrible situation, I got married and he wanted to take me away from that man who still brought him under his wings against all odds. It was more like a family thing. Sister betrayed sister and brother betrayed brother.But my husband was so cluel
A week after, I was back to staring at my lifeless eyes in the mirror. My face was made to look the most gorgeous and the most beautiful, yet I knew that I felt anything but beautiful. I was miserable, alone, tired and panicking.Every morning, I woke up, repeating the same words my mother-in-law told me. It was for the best, he is keeping you safe, he would come back to you, everything is fine and under control. Every morning, I tell myself that there is absolutely nothing to think about, that it was all good and nothing could go wrong. I tell myself that he would be back soon to give me an explanation for his disappearance. I tell myself that he would call and explain everything and tell he loves me. I woke up with a new faith, a new hope every morning while I tell myself, he was running back home to me.How stupid?Each day ended up with my hope falling apart. My faith was squashed and tossed aside, left in the gutter, never to be picked up again. Each passing day, I found myself dr
