GENESIS
I struggled to walk back to my room. My heart was too heavy and so were my legs. I kept breathing in and out because of the fear of having another panic attack. That was the last thing I wanted and it was better I got to my room soon.
"Ma'am are you alright?" Margaret came out of nowhere and ran to my aid. She placed my hands over her shoulders and held my waist, helping me with my weight.
I sniffed and tried to clean my tears but I changed my mind about it, she had seen me in my weakest time, I didn't see why I had to hide my tears away from her.
"you should be asleep" I said to her and sniffed.
"You should be in your husband's room" she replied and I stopped walking, my head snapped back at her immediately and she looked away.
"I'm sorry" she apologized and I started walking again. Though I knew somehow that she was right, I should have been the
A week laterGENESISI groaned and jumped off from the bed annoyed and exhausted. I have been sitting and sleeping for so long and it was beginning to affect my body and bones. I needed to do something. I was too bored to keep still and my body system was reacting terribly to it.I came down from the bed and walked out of my room through the hallway. I had literally been locking myself inside my room just so I could avoid Jordan, I didn't want to be in his way and he preferred it that way. On my way downstairs, I saw Samantha and I rolled my eyes at her. I would actually do anything to not see her even for a day. Those days I stayed without seeing her was like being in heaven if only I had more things I could do to keep myself busy. I walked downstairs and walked towards the kitchen. I have never been there and I couldn't see a single maid, I guessed they were all in there knowing it was almost time for dinner.
A month later. GENESIS I finished the last book I was reading and kept it together with the others. I stared at the pile of books and smiled at myself. I did an amazing job on finishing the books and in such a short time. I had over 30 novels piled up against each other and I finished it in a month time. But then again, I was completely jobless and useless in that house so it wasn't something special. I yawned and my stomach grumbled after wards. It was time for lunch and I was so looking forward to it because Margaret had told me they were going to make a french dish all through out that day. When I was at Paris, the french dishes I tasted were heavenly and I didn't mind having more of it for a week. I stood up from the bed and walked out of my room. I went downstairs just in time because the food was being placed on the dinning when I arrived and i couldn't help but shrieked like a child. Th
GENESISJordan stared at me differently and I couldn't help but ask myself what happened.He took his hands off my arm and stepped back a little, then his eyes roamed my body again and again and again. I shifted uncomfortably under his gaze and would have probably used something to cover myself at that moment if it were possible.My room was silent and it felt like time slowed for a moment, it stretched for so long I couldn't help but speak up."what ..what are you doing here?" I found myself asking?" and he jerked like he had been in a trance for a while and my voice woke him up from it.He stared back into my eyes and I stared back at him till I broke the gaze.I had to.I felt him watch me for sometime, then he sighed and walked away without saying a single word to me.I breathed out heavily, I was unaware that I was even ho
GENESIS"Please... please" my thoughts screamed. I couldn't scream it out because I was being choked and I couldn't speak. Jordan didn't budge at all, neither did he feel remorse at some point. He didn't stop choking the life out of me and I didn't stop hitting at his hand.At that point, I wasn't so scared of having a panic attack, that happened when I was breathing way too much but in this case, I wasn't breathing.I was ready to tell him how sorry I was, I was ready to even promise that I wasn't going to ever come to the right wing. I was ready to promise that I would never come out of my room and he would never see my face. I was just so ready to do anything so he could let go of me."Stay away...I am not going to warn you again, stay completely away from me or else...." he growled and I felt dizziness wash over me, I was literally seeing nothing but darkness at that point. Then he let go of
JORDANI remained dumbstruck and numb at the way things turned out. I was too shocked, I couldn't even move from where I stood and I kept staring at her door like she had said something mystical to me.I banged the door again, I didn't find it funny, not in the least."Open the door" I groaned loudly and banged harder on the door."Open the door damn it" I cursed louder but the door didn't open in as much as I wanted it to. I glared at the door for a while, I couldn't stop glaring but I knew I was powerless against an empty door.I walked away angrily and went to my room without uttering another word. I was pissed at her guts, I was pissed at her boldness and I was pissed that I had to say something that she could use against me.I went back to the master's bedroom and saw Samantha sitting on the bed looking tensed. She got up the moment she saw me and stared at me for a while."What is go
JORDAN "sir, do you know who might actually be behind this?" The inspector asked me and I shook my head slightly. I knew I had a lot of enemies but none ever dared come to my house, they stayed far and could attack me anywhere and anytime but not my house. It was surprising that someone had entered into my house and by passed all the security and left with her without a trace. "Did she have any enemies?" He asked and I turned to Samantha. I knew they were both enemies but there was no way Sam would have done something like this, she was incapable of hurting her that way. "Who is she, is she her enemy?" He asked when he followed my gaze. I shook my head again and he sighed. "Would you mind if we ask her some questions?" He asked again and I waved my hands at them giving him the go ahead to do what ever he wanted. He got up from the couch he sat and walked towards Samantha. "Who might you be ma'am?" He
SAMANTHA"Tell me, what is happening? Is she going to sign it?" I asked in a hushed tone as I spoke into the phone."Ofcourse she will ma'am. We are good at what we do. Just make sure to keep the other part of our payment ready" he replied me and I grinned at my accomplishment."Thank goodness, finish the job and get your rewards" I said and hung up.It's been two days already and it had been fucking hard to act like I was sad when inside, I was all jittery and happy. Ever since she was taken, everyone, I mean everyone had been keeping a gloomy face like some one important had died and I had to also keep up with that face too just to make everyone think I felt her disappearance. Where I didn't, how could I feel it when I planned everything. I promised her I would make her leave the house and I planned on accomplishing everything with any method possible.Yes I admit,
GENESISHe immediately moved from ontop of me and I slowly got up from where I laid on the floor while my eyes remained fixed on him. He glared at me openly and I felt like shooting him right there and then for all he made me go through. But that would have been me commiting murder and no matter what, I wasn't sure I could cross that line."You think you can escape bitch" he growled."I am coming after you once you leave, my men will come after you too" he spat and then he laughed."You can't even save your marriage no more. Those documents had already been sent to your husband and I am sure he would have signed it because of the letter that was accompanied with it" he added and my heart dropped."There is no escape for you miss" he growled louder and anger soared through me. I stared at him for a while and the thoughts that came into my mind were whispering more loudly."You won't be able to come af
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
