Get Me Married By Tori Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Meeting Ava I woke up when I felt something heavy on my hands and tried to move my head, a sharp pain hit me and so did the rest of my body feel the same pain. I slept in a very uncomfortable position and it had resulted in why I felt so many pains all over my body. My eyes traveled to my hands that seemed heavy for some reason. Then I saw Genesis holding my arm like it was a pillow that she could cuddle.

I stared at her with relief in my heart before I checked the time. It was already 8:am and I had so many plans for that day. I haven’t been to the office in days and I needed to at least work from home if I didn’t want things collapsing on me. But the first thing in my mind was putting a smile on Genesis’s face, I had to do something I knew she would want, something that would make her extremely happy.

I turned back to the lady who was sleeping so peacefully. I took her hands off mine slowly and got up from where I had laid beside her while resisting the urge to groan. My body ached the moment I got up from where I laid and I couldn’t help but blame myself for not laying down properly.

I tiptoed towards the door and slowly opened it in the quietest way I could do and came out of her room. The guards I had assigned were still standing by the door just as I ordered and bowed the moment I came out.

“Do not let anyone in, I don’t want her to be disturbed” I ordered and walked away.

Down the stairs, I went and saw that Margaret was already setting up breakfast with some other maids along “Good morning sir” she bowed when she saw me and I gave her a nod. But my eyes lingered on her a little bit more for an odd reason. I had known her since I was very young, she had grown old over the years and had wrinkles on her face. Guilt filled my heart when I thought of how much she had grown in my house while looking after me and in return I paid no attention to her or whatsoever.

“How are you?” I asked her for the first time in a long time and her eyes snapped at me. Her eyes widened at me but she shook it off and looked away, placing her eyes on the floor just like every other staff I had.

“I’m fine…sir” she stuttered.

“Your food…your food is ready” she added and wiped tears off her eyes. She quickly started setting out the dishes and tried all she could to not look at me.

“Never mind about that, I would eat when I return. I just came down to tell you to allow Genesis to sleep for as long as she can, no one should disturb her and go into her room till she wakes up” I gave her the same orders I gave to the guards and she turned to me immediately. The surprised look on her face when I asked about her was the same surprise look she had when I gave her the orders.

“Yes sir..” she replied and I turned to back to the stairs.

For the first time, after I found out the disturbing news that concerned Samantha, I walked back into my master’s bedroom and found her pacing to and fro. When she saw me coming in, she stopped and stared at me. Her eyes were red and she looked like she had not slept all night. The moment she saw me, tears came running down her cheeks and she looked away. My heart tightened at the sight of her, it made me exhausted, pained, and angry all at once. I still couldn’t bear to look at her the same way I always did. I loved her but she had hurt me and had done something so wrong, she did something that I never expected she would do and hurt another human, the very thing I never thought my Samantha would do I ignored her and walked towards the bathroom, without sparing her a glance or even bothering to talk to her.

I walked into the bathroom and had a very hot shower. Even while I allowed the water to pour down my body, thoughts of my surprise to Genesis filled my mind alone. I thought about the first time I had seen her and all that happened after, I also thought about the previous night and how I w why she was the only person I was thinking about but I guessed I felt sorry for her, sorry that she had to go through so many misfortune.

When I was done with my bath, I wiped my body cleaned before I wrapped the towel around my waist and came out of the bathroom. The steam that came out from the bathroom filled the room and Samantha was still standing in the position I had left her. I walked over to my wardrobe and picked out a suit I would wear and placed it on the bed before I turned to the mirror.

Samantha’s reflection was the first thing I saw as I turned to the mirror. She immediately walked up to me and held me from behind while pressing her face against my back.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry okay” she cried.

“I made a mistake, I shouldn’t have gone that far to get rid of he…….. I shouldn’t have. But believe me…when I said… I did it for us. I didn’t have an option, I couldn’t bear to see you married to her…..

But I am sorry, I realized my mistake I did…”.

I pulled her hands away from me and turned to her before she finished her statement. Her tears were not moving me neither were they quenching the anger in my heart. She had kept me in a tight spot and even my love for her wasn’t calming me down completely.

“Were you really remorseful?” I asked her remembering that morning. I saw the smirk on her face when they shot the guy she had hired. I saw her pretend to not have a hand in what was happening and even told me she didn’t care about what happened to her. I don’t know why I was remembering everything but those thoughts made me understand that she was lying. She would never have said anything if I didn’t get her myself neither would she have stopped if I didn’t confront her about the truth. And even when I did that, she lied in my face and repeatedly lied till I pushed the truth out of her.

Thinking about all those things made my blood boil in a rage. She didn’t reply to my question and that made it worse. I turned back to the mirror and applied lotions and stuff on my body before walking over to the bed where I dropped my clothes. I picked them up and wore them as quickly as I could. The room was not comfortable for me anymore. But even as I prepared to leave, I heard Samantha’s low sobs.

Turning to the door, I quickly walked towards it and Samantha ran to my back again and wrapped her hands around me. I stiffened at her touch and still felt my rage building inside of me.

“Please, don’t do this. I can go to jail, I will do that if you want me to…..Don’t just let her break us apart.

I can see it, you are leaving me for her already… I can’t let you go that…don’t let her take you away…

from me” she whimpered.

“I would appreciate it if you don’t say a word about her again Sam, don’t” I warned and tore her hands away from me forcefully before finally leaving the room.

Out of the house, I got into the car and inhaled deeply. I pushed the thought of Samantha away from my head and called my mom again. She didn’t hesitate to pick up, I bet she was happy I was calling her so often.

“Jordan….is everything alright?” She called out concerned and I sighed.

“Yes, I just wanted to find out the address of Genesis’s house,” I said and it went quiet.

“Jordan….you better not take her back to her parents” she started harshly.

“No… no, that’s not it” I entered and she went quiet.

“Then what is it?” She asked with relief written all over her voice.

“She misses her home and her family. I thought that maybe I could bring her sister over, as a surprise just to make her happy at least” I said trying hard to push emotions away from my thoughts and voice so she wouldn’t think something else.

“Oh! Okay, that’s a relief” she replied. Without much hesitation, she gave me the address of her parents place and I thanked her “Have you by…..any chance made a decision?” She asked after a while. I sighed heavily knowing what she was talking about and would have loved it if she didn’t remind me of my predicament.

“No, I haven’t,” I said and she sighed. We didn’t speak much after that or anything else and I ended the call.

My driver took me to her place at the suburban or rather, the house her parents lived in. I sighed heavily when I thought about meeting her family for the first time, one on one. We had gotten married by her deceit with that of my mother and so, we never went through those formalities. Thinking about it, reminded me of the reason I hated her in the first place but I had to snap out of my thought and do what I came for.

I stepped down from the car and walked over to their doorstep before ringing the bell myself. Then I waited for someone to open the door. It didn’t take long before the door swung open and a little girl came walking out.

“Hi…I….” I started but the moment she saw me, she screamed so loudly that I had to cover iny ears with both my hands.

Then a woman came running out of the house Followed by a man who I believed to be Allison’s parents.

“Ava….what is…..” When they saw me, they stopped and gaped at me, then the girl stopped screaming I took my hands off my ears and smiled weakly at the family of my wife.

“You must be Ava” I said to the little girl remembering Genesis had a little sister.

“Hi.. I’m Jordan… Genesis’s…..”

“Husband, we know” Ava interrupted me and I smiled. But I heard her sniff and saw tears coming down her eyes.

“Hey…hey, what’s wrong?” I asked worriedly.

“It’s nothing… I just…I can never forget how she had to marry you to save me” the girl spoke and I knitted my brows together into a frown in confusion.
