GENESIS
Slowly, gently, I turned around and came face to face with the woman that tormented my life. She was dressed in an expensive black gown that stopped below her knees and a white fur coat. She had a white heels and a bag to go and I must say she looked quite expensive. I wondered where she was getting the money from because the last I remembered, she was broke and was rather a gold digger who was simply after Jordan’s wealth.
Jordan was still holding me as he was and also turned to Samantha as well. She had a smile on her face, one of confidence and beauty and I wanted so bad to wipe it off her face.
“You seem to forget something, Genesis,” she replied me and came a bit closer with elegant step like she was an empress.
“It was never about papers and signatures, neither was it ever about promises and wedding bell. It was not about regality and legality, it was about the heart and not about the one who lives in the ho

JORDAN “Stop the car,” Genesis roared and I snapped my eyes to her with anger raging inside of me. “What are you doing?” I snapped at her, already angry at the way she had declined my proposal and angrier at the order she gave. “I said you should stop the car,” she jammed her hands against the back seat of Marcus violently, “Stop that,” I growled but she did not stop, she kept yelling and hitting at the seat while ordering that my driver should stop, that I had to grab her hand. “I said you should stop that,” I snatched her hands away from her violent torture on the car sit and she turned around immediately. The anger I felt over her refusal suddenly disappeared when I saw the hard glare, she gave me. Her beautiful, warming and charming blue eyes suddenly turned into one of raging thunder and what was like the deep blue ocean had turned to a stormy sky about to rain thunder on me. “Get your
GENESISTurning to him, I felt shocked at the calm and sensibility in his tone. I expected him to yell again or glare at me and just leave just as I had told him to, but he didn’t, instead he wanted us to sit down and talk about what was making me so angry. He sounded mature and very reasonable and for a moment there, I felt like the foolish person for flaring out the way I did.“Please,” he urged as he looked up at me. I sighed heavily and sat down just as he had asked. We did not say anything to each other after and for a while, we remained in that silence.“What is it?” he broke the silence and I groaned. I could not believe that he was asking me that, he had been the one to make me so angry, how could he be asking me such a question.“Can you just say something? I have things that I’m more concerned about,” he groaned as well and I turned to him. I glared even harder at him an
GENESIS“No, no, no,” Samantha could not have done that to him. I said into the phone and worry immediately consumed me.“What is it?” she questioned, sensing my worry.“Jordan…. gosh,” I slapped my forehead.“I honestly can’t believe she would go the extra mile,”“Who?”“Samantha,” I sighed and sat down on the bed. Truly, I had not expected her to go that far, she did not love Jordan as much as he loved her, I understood that, but she had eaten his money, she had eaten deep into his heart and deep into his soul. She had made his life a miserable one and after I saw him so emotional earlier, I realized how deeply hurt he was. Putting myself in his shoes, I understood how hard it was to love one woman all your life and have her treat you like trash, like that was not enough, you had to be trapped in a loveless marriag
GENESISI was still at the door with a shawl wrapped around me and cold eating into my bones, when Jordan’s car rode into the compound. I waited till it stopped right in front of me and I ran to it. The guards came out and opened the back seat, then I watched as they did what they had to do to get him out. With two men holding on to him with his hands over their shoulders, he staggered out, muttering incoherent words to himself with his legs unable to hold him. my heart broke into a thousand pieces as I stared at the man who was in front of me and found a stranger. His hair was in a mess, his shirt untucked and his tie lose. I turned to the guards beside him and glared at him.“You allowed him drink to this?” I snapped and they lowered their gaze instantly.“We could not stop him..”“Are you mad?” I yelled and they lowered their gaze again.“Be hopeful that no
GENESISMy body froze and for a moment my mind went blank. There was nothing but the feel of his lips on mine. He was kissing me, he was drunk and he was kissing me in his room and we were alone. I panicked and for a moment, I felt like I could not breath as it beat up so fast. I tried pulling away from him when the thought of all that could go wrong came popping into my mind. But he wouldn’t let up and kept kissing me even when I was fighting so hard to push him away.“Hmm…” I pushed and kicked, but for some reason, the drunk man seemed more energetic. Was he really drunk or was he faking before? Whatever the case was, I was getting scared and the memories of me almost being raped by my kidnapper made it harder for me to breath. I was finally able to pull my lips away from him and his lips came to my neck. Then he stopped and just remained still, I started taking deep breaths to calm myself down and fo
GENESISI stomped back to my room with a lot of thought running through my mind. could it be that he was not drunk? Could he have been pretending? He had kissed me intentionally then, he remembered everything and still lied to my face. Why? Was the nagging question in my mind. And not having any answer to his question made me feel even more stupid. But why was I really angry?He had attempted to lie to me, he had attempted to treat me like a fool and pretend like nothing happened, that was why I was angry. He did something wrong and should apologize for it, but he wanted to ignore it and not own up for what he did. I would have to be the one who would have to carry the burden of knowing what he did.Shutting the door behind me, I took a deep breath and turned to the bathroom. I took of my cloth and got under the shower. I shrieked when I mistakenly turned on the cold water and turned it off quickly. it was
GENESISWe walked out of the house and a car, or rather still, cars were ready for us. A guard was holding the door out for us and I walked in, followed by Jordan. The guard shut the door and every other guard moved like soldiers to other cars that were in front of us and behind. Then we moved out in a convoy and damn, everything was just so lovely. I turned my attention to the man who was sitting beside me and found that he was staring at me.“What is it?” I questioned and his lips stretched into a smile.“You look really beautiful,” he repeated and my cheeks heated up again.“You have said that before,”“I know, but I can’t just imagine not saying it over and over again,” he said. My stomach churned with a beautiful feeling settling at the pit of my stomach.“I can’t remember the last time I heard flirtatious words,” I responded and he chuckled.&l
GENESIS“How did they know that we were here?” I questioned as they ran heads to heads with their flashes coming from left to right like they could actually see us. The gate was opened and we drove in while guards fought with closing the gate back because reporters were fighting so hard to get in. The car came to a halt right in the mighty mansion of Liam Chase. My mouth almost dropped at the luxury and wealth packed into that house, but I had seen a lot of things so there was no need to be surprised. Just like Jordan’s house, a lot of guards were all positions at every corner of it. Our guards came down from the car and opened the door and my heart skipped instantly. watching the house and fisting my eyes was no longer interesting. My dilemma only just began. Jordan stepped out of the car, leaving me with no option but to step out of the car as well. I took a deep breath and walked over to where Jordan was standing.&ldquo
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
