Get Me Married

Chapter 3: Genesis Connor

I could think of. “Yes, give me a few minutes” she said and I hung up. I sighed in clear frustration, when I remembered I still needed to get Jordan a wife in two weeks. Just as my thoughts ran to and fro, I decided to get some painkillers for my migraine before I left for home. So I headed to the pharmaceutical department but not without looking around, though all I could see were my security men but I still looked around. When something caught my attention. Or someone rather. She was lying down on a sick bed in one of the hospital rooms and I couldn’t help but stop and stare at her. Though she was sick and a little bit pale, her beauty was beyond this world and the more I stared at her, I couldn’t help but think about her as a daughter in-law. She was beautiful and could meet up to the family standard with her looks alone. “ I can’t believe you fell sick after graduation. Your mom would be so worried” a girl her age said to her. “I mean they have your sister to take care of and now you” the other girl sitting by her side said. “Guys….they don’t know I am here, and you can’t tell them I am sick” the girl I admired so much said. “They didn’t meet up for my graduation ceremony because of Ava, I don’t want them worrying about me” she added. The girls beside her went quiet and stared at her. “Nate, Tiana and I gathered some money, but they won’t be enough for your hospital bill” one of the girls said and they all went quiet again. “Excuse me ma’am” someone stood in front of me with a tray of food in his hands “Can I help you?” he asked and I stared at him, unsure of what I wanted help for, I stared down at his hands and then back at the girl. “You know her right?” I asked and he looked at me unsure for a moment. “Yes ma’am..” he replied. “What’s her name?” I asked and again he looked at me unsure of himself. “Genesis Connor” he replied and a faint smile spread across my face before I left. My phone rang again and my p.a once again was still efficient. I picked the call and waited for her to speak. “I will be putting you through to her ma’am” she said and the phone beeped. “Yes, Samantha Brandon here” her voice came through the other end of the line and I exhaled in relief. “It’s Leona Chase” I simply said and waited for her reaction. “Good day ma’am” she replied with a voice that insinuated that she didn’t want to speak to me. “I have been told that you are too busy to schedule a meeting between us” I said. “Yes ma’am” She simply said and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at Jordan’s choice of a wife. I just didn’t like that girl. “Well, let me go straight to the point then” I started. “You and Jordan were a thing for a long time I guess, before you broke his heart and left the city” I said the obvious. “The universe has given you a second chance so to speak” I said in the nicest way possible. “A chance at what?” she asked. “A chance to be Jordan’s bride. Before he comes forward with his request, I want to be sure of what you want. Will you be his wife?” I asked and the phone went silent while I hoped she would be the one to end my dilemma. “No” her voice came strong and firm. I knew immediately that she didn’t need more time to think about the request, she knew what she was doing and she sounded sure of it. “Okay” my voice remained in the tone it was like I wasn’t affected by her actions but weakness was never a strong point for me. “Hope I get to see you soon though” I added. “I will try my best ma’am” she said and we ended the conversation. The pain in my head increase immensely and I hastened my footstep to the pharmacy. I got the drugs and decided it was time
