GENESIS
My head was banging by the time I got to the room. I felt dazed but I was able to find my way back to my room and I dropped myself on the bed.
Margaret came running with food and water and alot more.
"Ma'am...you have to eat something" she said and my stomach growled. Then I remembered I had not eaten for days. I let my anger aside and immediately got up and dug into the food that was placed in front of me. It was amazing how much I was able to eat, I believed I overfed because I ended up being stuffed.
After eating, Margaret prepared a bath for me which I obliged myself.
It was a hot bath and resting on the bathtub was the best for me. I asked every other person to leave while I took my bath. I needed time alone, I needed space and more, I needed to think.
After what happened, I knew something in me changed, something had happened and I could tell that I
GENESISI told them I was ready for them, but they didn't believe me. I stared at Samantha who didn't stop gaping at the detective."I don't understand what is going on?" Jordan said with a voice that could send shiver down our spine but I didn't flinch as I would have. I was just so angry and pissed about a lot of things to feel his presence or fear what would happen.I walked down the stairs and walked towards the dinning where the cops, the detective, Sam, Jordan and the maids were all standing."Hope you came with the warrant?" I asked the detective ignoring Jordan."Yes ma'am, I did come with the warrant ma'am" he replied"Well what are you waiting for then?" I asked and he stared at me and then at Jordan, then at me again and back at Jordan. He was clearly scared but I wasn't ready to do that at that moment."Get her out of here detective or can't yo
GENESIS"Take me to Sam" I said to the detective. He knitted his brow together and stared at me for a while."You really shouldn't stare at me like I don't know what I am doing when I ask you to do something" i snapped at him completely tired of the way he stared at me like I didn't know what I was asking or what I was saying."Sorry miss....""It's Mrs, detective, do I look too young to be married?" I asked and he looked away in frustration."No, I am sorry" he said and I smirked. I was really playing this Mrs Genesis Chase thing very well. Too well."I'm sorry, I had a terrible day" I said to him and this time I smiled genuinely knowing I never meant to frighten him in any way. He smiled back and stared at me weirdly."Now that is manipulative Mrs Jordan" he said and started walking.I giggled and followed behind, feeling really blessed and happy.We got to Sam's cell. She
GENESISJordan glared at me from across the room and I glared at him back.Something went wrong, something happened and somehow I had lost the battle this time. Whatever it was, I had no idea what it was that went wrong and I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the recording I had listened to on my phone suddenly disappeared. I mean, if the disc at the station got corrupted, how the hell would the recording on my phone just disappeared.Not to talk of the kidnappers, how could they changed their words? They blamed everything on me and for a while there I just lost all my cool and sanity but I recalled who I was dealing with. Samantha Brandon was capable of kidnap, she was capable of treating me the way she did without a care in the world, I was sure she was capable of bribery and worse."Not only are you a deceiver, you would stoop so low as to frame Sam" his voice
GENESISI stared at the figure in front of me while different thoughts ran through my head, thoughts relating as to why he was here, in my room at such ungodly hour."Nightmare?" He asked and I sighed and gave him a nod."What are you doing here?" I asked and his brows knitted at me in the dark, then he went quiet."I think you should leave already" I added when he said nothing. He was a man and not the friendly kind of man a woman should have as a husband at that point. I had all right to be scared that he was right in my room."I don't know why I am here" he suddenly said and I went mute and I stared at him."But right now I want to be sure you are okay" he added and I narrowed my eyes at him.I didn't understand what was going on with him and why he was acting so strange. The Jordan I knew would never act the way he was acting and though it was heartwarming to know he could be caring, it
JORDANI ended the call abruptly and thought of sleeping, I didn't close my eyes the previous night and really needed it.So I turned back to my bedroom and met with Sam. She smiled widely at me but I felt different from the way I always feel. Especially after what I saw the previous day. Pretense. And the things the other woman said, I don't know why I listened in the first place, maybe it wouldn't have me doubt Sam but now I did and had to get to the truth."Where were you last night?" She queried."I searched everywhere for you" she added. I walked deeper into the room and sat on the bed, exhaustion taking over me."Talk to me Jordan, you have been acting strange since I returned. Don't you love me anymore?" She queried and I shook my head, the thought of not loving her anymore was not even possible.Ofcourse I loved her, she was the only woman I
GENESIS*******"Please...just let me go" I screamed at my captor. Tears were coming down my cheeks and my heart was beating harder in my chest. I could feel my breath coming short the more I screamed and kicked against my captor. But he was adamant about letting me go, he dug his nails into my arms and caused me even more pains than the ones he had caused me. My skin was bruised up and bloody. I was on the floor and everything looked blurry in my eyes. The only thing that was registered in my mind was the pain in my body pleading to be left alone. I wasn't so sure I could take more of the torture, it was just too much for me to take all at once.I slowly felt his hands on my thighs, trailing his finger all over my leg, then he moved up upward, feeling every part of my body without any from of restraint from me and slapping on my skin as his way of torturing me even more. I slowly turned my eyes to lo
JORDANI 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 turnin
GENESISThe 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
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
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
