Chapter 53: Genesis’s wish

GENESIS

I noticed Jordan’s attitude and watched the way he left like I was a thief or an infected person he had to stay away from. It made me wonder what happen and why he acted so strange when we had spent the night together and he had brought me back to my room but came up with nothing and watched as the car drove away. I decided that it might as well have been a coincident, he couldn’t be running from me. Jordan I knew will never run away from something and I didn’t have a mask on my face that would make him run. I shrugged and decided to thank him later for what he had done, I liked the surprise and he had made me happy and with that, I went back into the house with satisfaction. Yes, Ava had left but I was happy, I felt different and relieved and it was all because of Jordan.

I went back into the house and turned to the kitchen where I was sure they were preparing dinner. I didn’t want to go back to my room and remain there, it would be boring and even if it was not, because I had my phone and books, too much isolation was never a good thing.

This time, I didn’t help anyone out, the last time I had tried helping out the maids, Jordan had been so angry about it, I could not forget what happened that day and yet it felt like it had been such a long time since he laid his hands on me. He was no longer behaving like a monster who wanted to tear me to shreds and always wanted to see me in pain. I did not want to do anything that would trigger him any further to act that way. I watched as they all went about their activities and we had a lovely time talking about things that I could not even remember till dinner was ready.

Being in the kitchen filled my nose with different scents of food and I couldn’t wait to start eating, so I had gone to the dining to sit while Anna served me. I dug into my food without hesitation and started eating the moment it got on the table.

I was halfway through when I saw Jordan coming into the house. My heart skipped at the sight of him and I was reminded that he had done something good for me. Something I had to thank him for. The anger I had a few days ago disappeared, my annoyance towards him also depreciated by a lot and gratitude replaced that feeling. He walked into the house and didn’t notice me at first till he got closer to the stairs and turned to the dining. I smiled at him when he turned to my direction, I was waiting for him to turn around and see me but he tensed up when he saw me like he was some kind of thieve who came across a cop. He washed away that look and forced a smile, a fake smile that I could see through and that bothered me. Then he turned back to the stairs and started walking. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Dinner is ready,” I blurted out and he stopped in his tracks.

“Uhmm…” I stuttered, not knowing why I had invited him for dinner or what to say anymore.

“Would you mind joining me?” I added lastly and waited for his reply.

“No…I am not hungry, thank you” he said dryly without even turning back to me.

“Oh! Okay” I felt disappointed at his reply but he didn’t seem to mind because he continued his journey up the steps and I turned back to my dinner.

“Hey, babe.” I suddenly heard someone’s voice. The annoying voice of Samantha, one I have not

heard for a while. I turned to the top of the stairs where her voice came from and the sight I saw made me look away quickly. My heart tightened in my chest and I just hated the way she had her hands wrapped around Jordan’s shoulders.

“I am hungry, let’s have dinner,” she said.

“Go on ahead, I am not hungry” I heard Jordan’s voice and for some reason, I was happy about his reply. Having him decline her just as he declined him simply made me feel happy. At least, I was sure

he wasn’t declining because it was me that had asked.

“I have been waiting all day, this is the least you can do for me babe” she persuaded sweetly and it made me scoff. I heard no other reply from Jordan and my eyes suddenly turned back to the stairs just to see exactly what was going on.

My heart dropped when I saw Jordan and Samantha coming down the stairs hand in hand. That meant that he had accepted, it only proved that he refused eating because I was the one who asked and not the love of his life. I felt so disappointed, but I turned back to my food like I had seen nothing or heard nothing disturbing that had made me lost my appetite.

What just happened reminded me that Samantha came first and she would always come first before me. It was the reason why I was treated badly from the beginning and it was the same

d not been given to me. Jordan was not doing anything and the criminal was right there in our house, yet he was not concerned neither was he listening to what I was saying. I wasn’t even sure that he was trying to investigate.

That reminder made the food in my mouth taste terrible.

Samantha and Jordan sat down in their usual seat and the air became messy around me. But I didn’t want anyone to see that I was affected by their action, or whatever they were doing so I forced myself to remain seated at that spot and eat. Maids came around serving them and soon they started eating.

I toiled with my food most of the time because no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t just eat the food that was right in front of me.

Jordan, I was thinking that we should go on a vacation, just the both of us” I heard Samantha speak after a while. The happiness in her tone irked my skin.

“It’s going to be fun especially since we have not had time for ourselves for a long period” she added. I remained quiet and just kept playing with my food with my eyes fixed on the plate all in the name of trying to eat and not pay attention to both of them. But I was paying attention to them, their presence at that dining table made me want to just walk away from them all.

Jordan said nothing to her demand and it made me happy. It gladdened me that he was saying absolutely nothing to Samantha who I was sure was simply trying to piss me off with the reminder that she still had Jordan.

“You are not saying anything” she entered again and I beamed at myself but Jordan still gave her the silent treatment.

“You are not eating, don’t you like the food?” I suddenly heard and raised my eyes away from the food. My eyes met that of Jordan and I quickly realized that he was staring at me. He nudged his

head and turned his gaze to the plate in front of me and I soon realized that I was the one he was speaking to.

“You have been playing with that food for a while now, don’t you like it?” He asked again and the sudden attention got to me. I opened my mouth to say something to him, but couldn’t find the appropriate word, because I was not expecting such a question. It only meant that he was paying attention to me, it settled my heart with an amazing feeling. And I couldn’t tell him that his presence with his girlfriend was simply annoying to me.

“Well… Margaret can make something else if you want….” He continued when I became so speechless.

“Margaret….”

“No…” I interrupted the moment he started yelling the name of Margaret.

“I am fine, I don’t need anything else” I turned to him and smiled. He looked away almost immediately and turned to his food. My heart dropped at that reaction.

Without saying anything else, I got up from where I had been sitting and pushed my chair aside when my eyes fell on Samantha. She was glaring at me like I had stolen something precious from her. Knowing I hate her as much, I glared back at her before turning to the stairs.

“You didn’t give me a reply Jordan…what’s the meaning of all this?” Samantha said in a harder tone to only prove that she was angry at the way he ignored her and she said it when I wasn’t even far enough.

“I don’t have time for holidays Sam” Jordan replied with an even colder voice. And I was just loving all that was happening between the both of them.

“What?” Sam yelled.

“I have lots of functions to attend to and more work…” Jordan entered again.

“Oh! I can help, I can go with you to those functions”

“No Samantha,” his voice was harsh.

“ I would be attending them all with my wife” he added coldly at her and I stopped in my tracks.

I couldn’t act like they were not loud enough for me to hear because they were, and I wasn’t even far enough before they started talking. I heard everything very well.

At his last statement, they both went quiet. He just called me his wife in such a way that soothed my heart yet made me question his actions. Jordan was behaving rather strangely, a confusing strange and I liked most of it. But with the way he sounded with Samantha, I couldn’t help but feel that there

was something in the air, something that was biting at his skin, something he didn’t like, something that brought tension between them.

That thought only made me happy and I pushed myself to start walking again while praying that the fight between them ends whatever they have. A nasty wish to wish but I wanted it deep down in my heart.
