Get Me Married

Chapter 4: Anonymous

I was talking to the air itself. “Liam….” I called out turning to him “I just said I am in a dilemma” I whined, but he remained unresponsive to me and just remained quiet. “I can’t believe how my husband would not for once care about how I am feeling. My son doesn’t care, my husband doesn’t care. They treat me worse than a statue and I do everything to make sure my duties as a wife and mother is fulfilled….where have I gone wrong?” my voice went completely emotional, I even faked a tear and used the only language he understood. Emotional blackmail. He groaned and sat up at the bed immediately. “What is it Leona?” he asked and I grinned at myself, I got his attention after all, that was the secret power of a woman who knew her home and the people in it. “Jordan” I said and he groaned loudly. He didn’t like putting up with his son, they were always far from each other, they never breathed the same air or share each other’s space. They were always fighting, always on each other’s throat. They were both like two alphas in one pack,  captains in one ship and they both were good at tearing down the house if they stayed in the same room. “He is your son, you can’t keep shying away from your responsibilities” I queried him. “He is a grown man Leona, there is no responsibility I can have towards him” he replied sternly and I rolled my eyes at him. “He needs to get married in the next two weeks” I said and waited for a reply from him. He wasn’t as Jordan, I knew he would reply me. “He should get married then” he said unconcerned. He didn’t really care or show concern about what Jordan did with his life. Most times the thoughts of how he reacted when it came to Jordan shook me to the bone, but I had seen too much, I had understood too much and knew perfectly well how weird my family was, it no longer affected me. “He will” I replied him, ignoring his statement. “Just that he wants Samantha and only Samantha” I mumbled. “Give him Samantha then” he said with that tone that insinuated I was wasting his time. I openly glared at him for his nonchalant behavior. When he saw my reaction to his statement, he cleared his throat and adjusted himself on the bed. “What seems to be the problem?” he asked with a more concerned voice. “Samantha doesn’t want him” I said and sighed in frustration. “Why does he have to get married, just let him be” he said. “Are you even paying attention. He needs to own the properties left by your father and he has to get married in order to get them or they will roll over to the government” I explained impatiently. “Ohh” he said with realization. “What are you going to do then?” he asked more concerned about the entire situation. “He won’t marry any other person except for that Samantha or I would get him another lady immediately” I said and a smile spread across my face at the thought of the girl I saw at the hospital. “Your son is as stubborn as a rock. He would choose to loose the properties rather than marry any other girl” he said and placed his hands on his chin. He always did that when he was thinking, So I remained quiet and waited for him to come up with a solution. I had a solution on my own, but I didn’t know how to go about it which was the reason I talked to my husband in the first place. “Tell me his reaction when he asked you to get Samantha for him?” he asked me. “He became excited about getting married, though he didn’t smile but his eyes said it all” I explained briefly. “You can get him married then, give him Samantha, that’s who he wants” he said and grinned at me. “Are you deaf Liam, Samantha doesn’t want Jordan, they can’t get married, I can’t give him Samantha because there won’t be a Samantha” I said raising my voice in clear annoyance, it felt like he wasn’t listening to a thing I was saying, it made me feel annoyed and little. Liam looked at me with a sly smile on his lips, he was clearly unaffected by my outburst “But there can be a Samantha, any one you pick can be a Samantha Brandon” he said and I raised my brows up at him in vivid confusion. “You just have to pick a girl my dear and she will be his Samantha Brandon till their wedding ceremony is over with” he added and my mouth opened in pure understanding. Excitement washed into my veins and relief came into my troubled heart with ease, I stared at Liam and couldn’t help but give him a light kiss on his lips. I had forgotten what got him to being the head of state in the first place, manipulation. “Goodnight Leona” he yawned and lied down on the bed. “Goodnight love” I said sweetly and also lied down on the bed. ***** I didn’t wait for the day to break before I got up for my day’s arrangements, my excitement and nerves didn’t let me sleep infact, so lying down was a complete waste of time for me. I got ready while Liam was still asleep and came out of the room. I headed straight to the dinning to have my breakfast first. It was a whole wheat toast with peanut butter and half of a grapevine. A quick combo, it was exactly what I needed. The staffs were surprised to see me up and ready so early and I didn’t blame them, I wasn’t an early riser, I loved my bed and my sleep but this time around I had something more important to take care of myself. “Good morning ma’am” the head of security guard bowed his head slightly and  said to me the moment I finished having my breakfast. I inclined my head towards him and waited for him to continue. “We are ready for the day ma’am” he added and gave me the go ahead order to leave the house. Without saying a single word to him, I gave him my hand bag and stood up from my seat then I headed straight to the entrance while he followed behind me. My convoy was ready and so were my guards. They bowed their head slightly in greeting as I walked past them and into the car which was being held out for me. I got in and the guard I had given my bag kept it beside me in the car before the door was closed. I picked up my phone and dialed my p.a’s number. This time, she didn’t hesitate to pick. “Good…. Good morning ma’am” her voice came sleepily and I could guess my call woke her up. “What do you have on Genesis Connor?” I asked immediately, going straight to the point. “Ohh…uhmmm” I could hear her stumbling and crashing on things while I rolled my eyes at her attitude to work. “Okay. She just graduated from U.S.F with one of the best results in business education and arts. She is 25 years old and comes from a low class family. Her father’s name is Conor Connor and her mom goes by Abigail Connor, her little sister is Ava Connor who seems to have been suffering from kidney failure and is in the last phase of completely dying if she doesn’t get a new kidney soon” she paused. I smiled broadly at myself especially. I knew from the hospital that there was a connection between the family I had brought and the beautiful girl I had seen. Now that I was sure, I had to move over to phase two. “Confirm the amount that is to be paid for a kidney transplant and make the payment for Ava, also pay the hospital bills for Genesis and get me the best wedding planner that befits the wedding of a Chase” I said to her and ended the call. “Take me to my son’s house” I said to the driver and we started moving. My face was kept in this priceless glow and smile till I arrived at his house, but he was driving out when we got there. His car drove up to mine and the window was rolled down, so was mine. “It’s early in the morning mom, work is important” he said in his usual tone. I would have berethed him for his manner of speech but I was too happy to pay attention and allow him spoil my mood. “You are getting married son, get ready” I simply said and his eyes widened at me but went back to normal again in a split second. “She agreed… Samantha Brandon agreed” he said more to himself than to me. I knew my plan was going to get me in trouble with him but I didn’t want to be tamed a liar in the nearest future so I didn’t give a reply, I just kept smiling at him. “Just prepare your self” I said and rolled up my window. “The hospital” I said to my driver and again I changed the cause of our destination. On my way to the hospital, my p.a called and I picked up immediately, there was no time to waste on my part. “Speak” I said to the phone. “I got the wedding planner on stand by and her number is being forwarded to you right now. The bills for Genesis Connor and Ava Connor has been paid and made anonymous, is there anything you would want me to do for you?” she summarized. “Send tips to as many press agency as you can. Let them know that Jordan Chase is getting married” I said to her. “Uhmmm…yes…yes… ma’am” she stuttered and I grinned. She must have been one of the many girls crushing on Jordan. “Ohh, and have some sleep, you might be doing a lot in the coming days” I gave her a warning before I hung up. The day was going well, the plan was going well, the event to come had to go well and my son was going to get what he wanted and his birthright all at ones. I couldn’t be happier. We arrived at the hospital and my guards escorted me in, I ignored the rude receptionist I had seen a day before and made my way to the room I suspected the couple I had brought would be in. When I got there, to my surprise, the room was empty and the couple were no where to be seen. . “Excuse me” I called on a nurse who was strolling by at that exact moment. “Where are the Connor’s, the one whose daughter needed a kidney transplant?” I asked him. “The child is in the operating room as we speak and her parents are at the waiting room” he replied and a smile enveloped my face. Things were going fast and well and if it continued at that rate, Jordan would have been married in a week. “Give him something” I said to my security, I was in a great mood and that was my way of saying thank you. I took a turn to the room I had seen my future daughter in law first before going to the waiting room. When I got there, I stood
