Get Me Married

Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Not the woman I love

I turned to Ava, still confused about what she was saying, her eyes were a bright brownish color but not a blue,

Like that of her sister. Yet they were bright and beautiful, it also had that same look of appreciation and gratitude it had when she saw him first at their house, and a smile was on her face.

“Ava… I don’t…..”

“Oh my God!” She suddenly yelled and turned to the window of the car with wide eyes.

“Is that where we are going?” She asked excitedly and anything I was going to say or ask her flew down the window immediately.

“Yes…that’s our house” I replied her and she shrieked with wide eyes.

“That’s where my sister lives too?” He asked and I gave her a nod.

She shrieked again, loudly, it was killing my ears but for the first time all through our ride, I smiled at her ecstasy and excitement.

“It’s huge”

Ava turned to the window and didn’t look back at me at all. She was so engrossed with staring at the mansion from afar off that I left her to do whatever she wanted to and had some time alone.

I wondered how Genesis would react to seeing her sister at home. I bet she was going to be happy to see her after such a long time and that thought alone got me happy and excited. Making her happy was

the aim after all, and it was my way of making up for all the times I didn’t believe when she told me Sam was responsible.

We arrived at the mansion and drove in. If Ava was excited before, she was more than excited now. Her eyes were wide and she couldn’t wait to get out of the car.

I obliged her of course and we both came down from the car the moment we had driven to the front of the house.

“The fountain is beautiful?”

“Oh gosh…the garden”

“I want to live here” she started and fixed her eyes on everything she could. I allowed her to feast her eyes at everything she could till I became tired myself. I had to hold her hand just to pull her attention back to me.

“Do you want to go inside now?”

She gave me a nod and I turned to the door. Guards bowed as usual and even that intrigued her.

I heard her like I would hold onto a sister if I had one and led her into the house without feeling old. She stopped in her tracks and also made me stop. Then she looked around again, her eyes going left, right, up, down, and center with her mouth wide open.

“Why didn’t you think of surprising my sister a loi sooner?” She whined and my heart dropped.

Her questions were a constant reminder of how terrible I had started with her sister and wouldn’t have thought of surprising her sister then even if I could. Those times I hated her suddenly seemed to be a very long time ago.

I quickly left her hands and gestured for Margaret who was close by to come forward.

“Is she awake?” I asked her and she shook her head at me.

“No sir, she isn’t awake yet”

“Okay good, allow her to sleep as much as she can,” I said with concern in my heart and turned back to Ava who was already walking away from me while being lost with the beauty of the house.

“Ava…” I called out and she quickly turned to me. I gestured with my hands for her to come and she did.

“That’s Ava, Genesis’s sister,” I said. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Give her all she wants, tour her around the house if you must,” I said and turned to Ava.

“Hey, I will have to leave you now” I started and her jaw dropped.

“Why?”

“I just have work to do. But you will be here with Margaret, she is a maid here and would take care of you till your sister wakes up” I said and she frowned.

“Genesis is still sleeping?” She asked.

“Yes”

“That’s impossible, she doesn’t sleep so late”

“Is she alright? Did something happen? Is she sick?” Concern suddenly appeared in her voice and worry on her face and my heart dropped.

Genesis was my wife and acted like one, she had to be the perfect wife and her family didn’t know all that had been happening around her. She had kept everything away from them and had to pretend to be perfectly fine as my wife when she wasn’t. I suddenly felt so sorry for her and wished I would have helped her sooner.

“Yes yes,” I lied not wanting to be the one to tell her that her sister wasn’t fine. If anyone wanted to do that, it should be her sister.

“But…”

“There is no but to it. We watched a movie all morning and she got exhausted in the middle of the movie” I told her. Giving her the perfect excuse to not be worried. It worked and the worry on her face disappeared.

“What kind of movie, was it a romance movie?” She suddenly smiled and winked at me.

I felt like rolling my eyes at the mischief I saw in her eyes. But I simply parted her head and turned to the stairs.

“See you later”

I quickly went back to my studies and started working. A pile of paperwork for me to see through and a lot more that had piled up over the week. I groaned at intervals as I worked but just had to go on with it.

I finished with most of the paperwork and relaxed into my chair when my mind traveled to Genesis again and I couldn’t help but wonder if she was awake yet. I pushed the thought away, refusing to allow her to invade my mind the way she had done so recently, and went back to work.

But pushing her away wasn’t so easy, I still wanted to know what she thought about my surprise. She had been really angry at me over the past few days, I wanted to pacify her in any way I could, and

making her happy was one. I wondered what she would have thought about my surprise and even imagined her reaction when she finally saw Ava in my head. .

I smiled at myself and that thought got me standing up and heading over to Margaret who I had kept in charge of Ava. I just wanted to see if she was happy with my surprise.

At the top of the stairs, I found no one, not Genesis, neither Ava and Margaret. I turned to the left-wing and stared at it just to see if I could see any of them. But Genesis had picked a room that was far from where I stood. I turned back to the stairs and walked down to the kitchen.

I looked around as the maid bowed to me but also didn’t find Ava or Margaret so I simply thought that Genesis was awake and they might probably be in her room.

“Has Genesis eaten yet?” I suddenly asked a maid. And just as quickly I wondered how I could be so worried about her.

“No sir, she is still asleep” she replied and I frowned.

“Then where are Margaret and the little girl?”.

“Ava said she wanted to have a look outside and Margaret had taken her out” she replied and I sighed.

I turned to my time and realized that time had far gone, it was so late in the day and Genesis should be awake already. No one could sleep that way, for so long without waking up. I hoped she was fine and had not fallen sick or something.

I groaned loudly at the thought of worrying about her the way I was and the maid moved away from me. I pushed the thought of Genesis away and turned to the entrance of the house. I went towards the garden just as the maid had said and found them, fortunately. The only problem was

that Samantha was right there with them and was talking with Ava.

“Sam..” I roared from where I stood and they immediately turned to me. My heartbeat picked up a little and I started walking towards them.

“What’s going on here?” I asked with a cold and a hard voice. I was still very much angry at Sam and I couldn’t help it if I was sounding so different.

“Oh, I am just getting to find out who she is?” Sam replied with a smile and I quickly turned to Ava. Confusion was written all over her face and she stared at Samantha with suspicion.

“Can I speak to you?” I asked Ava and she gave me a nod. I stretched my hand, shocked by my

my hand and I led her a little distance away from Samantha’s hearing.

“What did she say to you?”

“Nothing, she only told me her name, she was about to tell me her relationship with you before you came in” she responded and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Genesis was pretending to live a perfect life in my house, Ava couldn’t know about Samantha, because that would break her sister and her parents to know that I had brought in the woman I loved and ignored the woman I married. That thought running through my mind made me feel guilty at that point.

“That’s fine, how about you come to stay with me in my studies where I work and wait for your sister?” I asked though I knew I would regret it because Ava was certainly not going to let me work.

But I had to protect her and keep her away from Samantha. There are things I didn’t want her knowing especially if it was coming from Samantha. She smiled at my request and I took that as a yes. I called on Margaret and asked to take Ava to my studies so she could wait for me. Before I turned to Samantha.

“What were you going to tell her?” I roared at her and her eyes widened.

“That I am the woman you are in love with” she snapped.

“Are you nuts? Why would you want to tell her that?’

“Because that’s the truth. You might have gotten married to her sister but I am the woman you. love”

“And what would have happened to her sister. Or her parents if they found out about it?” I yelled.

“Do I look like I care? It’s the truth Jordan and everyone should know about it” she crossed her hands across her chest and I was taken aback.

That wasn’t the woman I loved. The woman I loved was reasonable and knew how to show compassion. After all, she did to Genesis, I expected some level of maturity and understanding from her, I hoped she would be apologetic but she was none of that and didn’t care at all.

I think she saw the look on my face because her face softened and she removed her hands from

where she had crossed them.

“Jordan” she called out more calmly and with compassion.

“It would have made things easier, they would have taken their daughter because they wouldn’t be able to have you cheat on their daughter. Then I would have you back just as always and we both would get what we wanted” she came closer but I moved away from her.
