Get Me Married

Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Angry feelings

Lunch was eaten quietly. Jordan and his mistress were seated in their usual seats and I noticed them staring at me. Samantha looked angry after my announcement to the guards, she should be scared, but Jordan’s expression was something I couldn’t understand. Still, I didn’t mind them neither did I care about what they thinking or feeling in their hearts. I had enough problem in my plate as it was. After lunch, I remained seated in that spot for sometime and allowed all I had eaten to just settle down. I also remained seated because I knew I had to climb back to my room again, which isn’t the best place to be because of all the scary things that had been happening but I still had to go to my room at least to escape Jordan and Samantha and just to be alone in peace. But the pain in my foot discouraged me to get up from where I had sat

Occasionally I would look up at the staircase and look away. Each time I stared at it, it felt like it was increasing in number and stretching itself. I sighed heavily after staring at it for more numbers than I could count and looked ahead only to see Jordan staring at me. He was done eating as well but still sat down on the chair he was.

“Let me help you to your room” he stated and my gaze hardened at him. He thought I was helpless, maybe that was why they thought they could do anything to me and just get away with it.

I got up from where I sat and pushed the seat away aggressively before turning to the stairs, hating the feeling of helplessness. I took painful steps till I got to the stairs and pushed myself to start walking the steps when I suddenly felt someone behind me.

Before I could turn around, I was swept off the floor, my heart skipped a mile and my hands were wrapped around Jordan’s neck before I knew it. I stared at him, shocked at first, as his brown eyes peered into mine, then I felt angry, really angry. I still didn’t know if he was a part of all that was happening with me and there he was acting as if he cared.

That was exactly what made me so angry. He was acting like he cared, he was making me feel like he could see me for me, like he genuinely felt concerned for me when in actual sense he didn’t.

“Keep me down,” I said between gritted teeth and tried getting myself away from his strong arms but he held me tighter and stared at me with an unreadable expression.

“Keep me down” I raised my voice and pushed myself away from his grip. I fell so forcefully that my knees hit the floor and Jordan might have fallen off the stairs as well.

I stood up, ignoring the slight pain I might have incurred on myself, and started walking fast, up the steps without looking behind me.

I groaned loudly, feeling the pain on my foot when I got to my door and relaxed my head on it for a bit. When I opened my eyes, I saw Jordan coming and immediately pushed my door open. I went inside very fast and shut the door but before I could do that successfully, Jordan pushed it open and walked inside. I took two or more steps away from him. His eyes were cold and hard and they were pairing right at me.

“Get out” I managed to say and his eyes softened.

“Get out Jordan, what don’t you understand by staying away from me” I snapped and he sighed…

“What is wrong with you?” He asked me calmly and I scoffed.

“When did you start caring about me?” I asked and watched his gaze harden again.

“Just leave Jordan. I am making this easy for you”

“What’s so easy about this? You acting like a kid”

“I am acting like a kid huh?” I felt my anger.

“I was manipulated into marrying an asshole such as yourself. I was harmed and hurt and bruised and even choked by you. I was kidnapped under your roof and subjected to the worse treatment I had ever come to face in my life. Fortunately, I escaped and you won’t do a thing about the

the same roof as the mastermind behind my kidnap, you won’t do a thing about it, you won’t even bother to investigate. Someone broke into the house and came to my room and all you could tell me was that I was going mad and you do all this while acting as you care about me when you don’t. And I am acting like a kid?” I yelled, then I smirked.

“You know, I think you are behind my madness, now can you get out?” I yelled even louder. My heart was pounding inside my chest when I was done but Jordan was just standing there. He

stared at me for such a long time, I wanted to hit him. Then he turned around and left. I groaned and picked up something, I smashed it against the wall and yelled. Jordan was driving me mad. It was later I realized it was my phone I had smashed and felt tears burn the back of my eyes. I just wanted to cry, I was angry but I wanted to cry too.

I blinked back the tears I felt in my eyes and got up from where I had squat. I came out of my room and turned to the room I had kept aside for my artwork.

“I expected you to have done the job last night you moron” I snapped at Vince.

“It was harder than I thought” he replied and I groaned.

“Well, I want her out of this house Vince. The job was to hurt her, harm her, threaten her. Do whatever it takes for you to make sure she runs away from this house and this marriage without ever looking back. How hard could it be?”

“I will finish the job tonight” he answered and I turned around just to be sure Jordan had not entered the room. He won’t like it if he saw me on his balcony. For some reason, he hated it there and hated the

light and I was also sure he wouldn’t like the suspicious call I was making either.

“Do it quick and leave the house, Genesis seems to be out for blood” I said and hung up.

I sighed and walked back into our bedroom and sat down. I thought for a while, my plans were not going as planned and it was annoying. How hard could it be to get rid of her? When Jordan had said he wanted to triple the guards we had, he gave me an idea to sneak the head of the kidnapper I had hired into the house. He seemed to be so obsessed with the other woman and I felt he was the best man for the job. But Genesis seemed to have grown a thick skin. I was thinking she would run away the moment she saw him again in reality since seeing him in her

dreams was scary for her. But I was wrong, she didn’t leave and that was bugging me. I was running out of plans.

I was still in my thoughts when Jordan walked into the room with a scary expression.

He walked past me and went into the bathroom. Then his cell rang and I turned to pick it up. But he was already out of the bathroom with water dripping all over his face. He gave me a deadly glare when he saw me with the phone.

“Sorry” I mumbled knowing he didn’t like the idea when I picked his call and I handed the phone to him. He picked the call and use the face towel he held to clean his face.

“Yes, any lead yet?” He asked into the phone and my ears pecked up.

“Nate. I trusted you with this, I need a lead.” He said again and immediately hung up. I wanted to ask him why he was in such a mood but thought against it, knowing how he could be.

“Can we go out for dinner tonight?” I asked instead, hatching a plan already. He glared at me and I looked away quickly, then he walked away. He went over to the couch and sat down.

“Jordan, I can’t remember the last night we had some time alone or fun,” I said feigning a sad tone to persuade him.

“Aren’t you just stupid to say that? Can’t you see all that has been going around and all you can think about is fun” he snapped with a cold tone and I flinched, not just at the way he sounded but the things he said.

“I want to be happy and get away from this gloomy house that focuses only on your wife, is that such a bad thing to ask?” I snapped at him also.

I saw the way the way he was with Genesis, wanting to help her even after she had told him to get away.

“Yes, it is” he snapped back and got up from where he sat. He turned to the door in his attempt to walk away from me and I knew all that was because of the other lady.

“It’s because of her right?” I questioned and he stopped.

“She has become so important, you don’t see me anymore” I added.

“What’s strange is that, if you were the one in her shoes, I am a hundred percent sure that she wouldn’t behave so insensitive towards you,” he said and my jaw dropped. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
