Chapter 28: The promise
“Is she going to be fine?” I asked the doctor while my eyes remained on her like a glue. Her body was bruised all over, she had lots of cuts and her hands and legs had red deep markings. She looked pale and she lost all the colours and vibrant sparks that always made me stare at her.
“She is going to be fine. Nothing serious happened? She just needs rest, lots of food and water” he said to me and I sighed in relief.
“Thank you doctor” I said and shook his hands.
“It’s fine, do take care of her, she is your wife now” he joked and I gave him a nod of my head. I turned around to walk the doctor out of the room only to be faced with maids that scurried away the moment they saw me. I saw the worried looks on their faces that remained and I couldn’t help but wonder how she had such an effect on everyone in such a little time.
“You can go see her, but five minutes and you are out of that room” I ordered and walked past them while they smiled widely before hurrying to her room.
I walked the doctor and bid him goodbye before going back upstairs. I decided to freshen up and headed to the master’s bedroom.
My thoughts went back to when I saw her at that coffee shop. I never thought I would be so happy to see her ever, I was so relieved and excited when I saw her. My legs were literally running to where she stood, but she suddenly fainted and luckily fell in my arms. But so far, the doctor said she was good and I was happy and relieved. I walked back to my room and found Sam sitting down on the bed with a deep frown on her face.
I ignored her, we have been fighting so much the past few days, I needed to ignore her. I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom. I had a quick, hot shower and came out with a towel wrapped around my waist. Sam was still looking like she could kill someone and not saying a word to me.
“I guess you must be happy that your precious wife is back” she said with sarcasm while I put on something
“The precious wife of Jordan Chase, highly treasured by all” she added and I knew she wasn’t going to stop till I said something. But her attitude of recent were really getting me upset.
“you make it seem like you would have preferred that she died or never returned” I said and she went mute. I stole a glance at her, she was perplexed and completely shaken by what I said.
“How can I be happy when she is here to take you away from me” she said between gritted teeth.
“I want her far away, so we can get married” she added
“I want that too, but not in such a violent or illegal way” I simply put it.
“Whatever Jordan. Do what you wish” she muttered and I grunted
“You are really making it look like you are the one that kidnapped her, stop with the attitude” I barked and she flinched and stared at me wide eyed. Then she started crying and I couldn’t help but feel terrible.
“How can you accuse me of that?” She said amidst tears. I walked over to her and just couldn’t watch her cry anymore. I tried pulling her to myself but she spanked my hands and moved away from me.
“You know anyone can walk in here and tell you I had her kidnapped and you would believe” she added. I cursed inwardly and went to where she stood.
My hands wrapped around her waist and I stared at her straight in the face.
“I just said you were acting up, I know you didn’t do it. You can’t hurt a fly” I told her and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
I leaned closer and took her lips in mine, I missed it so much. Because of all the drama, I had really not had time for her. But someone knocked on the door and interrupted us.
“Sir…the inspector is here” whoever it was said and I groaned and pulled away from the kiss. Without saying a word, I walked over to my wardrobe and quickly found something simple to put on before walking over to the door and leaving her in the room alone.
“Good day sir” the inspector said the moment I stood in front of him and stretched his hands towards mine for a handshake. I gave him a nod and gestured my hands towards the couch, asking him and the other guys he came with to sit.
“We were informed that you found your wife” he said and I gave him another nod of my head.
