The tears in my eyes ran down my cheeks none stop and my heart hammered inside my chest, while I stormed into the room that I had been sleeping for the past two weeks. The maids took my back inside, clearly relieved that I was not leaving just as Tiana wanted but, I was not sure of the move I was making. It was so stupid to remain in that house when I was not sure if Jordan was coming back to me or not. That thought sent goosebumps to run over my body and I shivered. I crossed my arms over my chest to push away the airy feeling and shook my head at that thought. Jordan was going to come back, nothing happened to him, he was going to come back to me. I fell on my bed the moment I got into the room and simply just remained there just as I had been doing all this while. It was both depressing and strange that I had to keep going through this. And it was more annoying that I was stupid enough to stay. All sensible thing to do was to leave, right? But how could I when Jordan had asked me c
JORDANTwo whole weeks, I had been out for two whole weeks and there was no time to take it all back. The time I had spent without her, the time I lost with her. The misery that she could have gone through. All the pain and chaos that I had put her through, the questions, the doubts that I was so sure she would have, made me agitated, panicked and even cranky.If my family had given her an explanation to my sudden disappearance, then I would not feel so terrible. But they didn’t, they said nothing to her till the very last minute. I didn’t want to imagine what she might have thought of me, of our relationship. And the fear of thinking that she might have woken up one morning and left during this two week made my heart ache so bitterly, it left a bitter feeling in my mouth and in the pit of my stomach.It was already so late into the night when I pulled up at the front of the house and with a jump, I rushed down from the car and towards the house. Ignoring the pain, I was in, ignoring
“Wait…what?” I was really confused with the change of attitude. Her soft look turned into a glare, so fierce, I gulped.“You left…you fucking left me,” she growled.“No calls, no texts, no voice mails, no emails, no letters, fuck there was nothing except for a guard who told me that you would want me to sleep well and you would be back soon,” she yelled. I frowned, not understanding the woman in front of me at all. She was fine just now, how could she suddenly get so angry at me?“I couldn’t call or text or send any of those.” I replied calmly to save the situation that had gone out of control so quickly, I expected a lot of things and immediately after we hugged, I thought it was fine. I didn’t expect this.“Why?” she crossed her hand over her chest and glared even harder at me. I gulped and tried to think of something to say that would suit the lie Aiden had foolishly told her.“Genesis…” I tried holding her but she spanked my hand fiercely, making that spot sting as I withdrew my h
The moment she ran to the bathroom, I got up and quietly turned to the door. I started towards the right wing and straight for the studies believing that he would still be here. Doctor Walter had a thing about going over to my studies whenever he came around to check on me. I might be having lunch, studying or doing something. So, he would always go the studies to wait up for me and I still believed that habit still stuck with him.Just as I had expected, he was right at my studies and in as much as I had come there for him, I still got so pissed. He still had the guts to wait up right after what he just pulled off.“Mr. Chase….”“Have you gone mad?” I growled first thing first and he jammed his lips together.“I’m sorry. I over stepped my boundaries,” he entered smartly. I glared at him, wanting so much than to yell at him but Walter had been the one taking care of me since I was young and had been patiently by my side since I was diagnosed. He grew old with me and in as much as I wa
GENESISJordan frowned at me, his eyes flicking from my face to something, then back to my face and out again. He was nervous and I could see that he was. What could be so wrong to make him nervous? Because the Jordan I knew had never been so nervous.“Jordan…” I called out again to him. But he slowly took a step away from me, leaving me the coldness that came from his absence. I hated the distance easily and felt a dreadful feeling at the pit of my stomach when I recalled all the feeling that came with his departure for the past two weeks. Strangely, I suddenly became scared, that he was going to disappear again and I would no longer be able to feel the warmth from me.“Jordan...”I started towards him and wrapped my hands around his waist. Not really meaning to persuade him to tell me what was making him nervous but because I hated the distance. Only when I perceived his scent and when the warmth of his body caressed my skin, did I feel somewhat better.Better now…“Now, what is wro
I jammed my lips together the moment I realized what I had done. Did I just lie to him? why would I lie him? how could I lie to him like that? I must have been stupid, but I panicked.I still hadn’t told him who Nate was to me earlier before our marriage and I was terrified to. What if he saw me differently because I left his brother for him? We both found out about the condition of our marriage and how terrible we had been manipulated, true. But I was super scared, so scared, I was not willing to lose Jordan.“Hmmm” he hummed behind me.“I thought he was here.”“Yes…” I blurted out and hated myself the next minute.“Genesis…” he called out and made me turn around so I could look at him, which was hard. How could I look at those eyes of his and still lie?“What is it?”“nothing” I entered, too quickly. He frowned and stared at me curiously with those brown eyes of his that I thought would bore a hole inside me. Maybe I should tell him, but what would happen after that?“Why are you so
Jordan said nothing to me after the very awkward moment that lasted for a while. We just remained quiet inside the studies while he relaxed his head on my back. I still wondered what got him so angry and questioned if he knew the truth that I was trying to hide so much from him. The silence was gloomy and tiring and though the air wasn’t as tensed, I didn’t like the silence and since he decided to hug me from behind, I could not see his face, I could not understand what he was truly feeling at that moment.“Jordan…” I decided to break the silence.“Hmmm,” once he responded, I thought it to be a good thing. I mean, he was not going all silent on me but I didn’t know what I wanted to say to him anymore.“Hey…Genesis…” Someone suddenly called from the door, to my luck. I sighed in relief and made to get up from where I had been sitting on Jordan’s legs. But my husband saw it nice to have his hands wrapped around my waist and tightened them around me.“Jordan…”“I thought you hated being
“Genesis…would you come out already.” Tiana’s voice continued harshly. I glared at the door as well while panting heavily, hating the very interruption.“Go…and wave them a goodbye today. I wouldn’t want her doing this again,” Jordan entered coldly, I shivered. I turned to him and found his eyes were still as dark and the way he looked at me especially when he trailed his eyes to my breast, which he was still holding in his finger made me want to shake my head. But in time, he took his hands off me and I sighed heavily. Way to go Tiana.I got up from where I sat comfortably on his thighs and noticed that my wetness had gotten to his trouser. My cheeks heated up and I looked away, picked up my bra and turned to the door, but Jordan held my hand, stopping me.“Why don’t I hold on to this?” he took the bra off my hand. I widened my eyes at him and thought of just ignoring Tiana and staying back, but with how angry Jordan had been and her constant rudeness and disrespectful ways, I had to
