Get Me Married

Chapter 40: Strong warning

I groaned loudly in my attempt to let out some steam. How could Jordan insinuate that I had done everything on purpose? I was hurt, I was scared, and yet he had the guts to come into my room and tell me how mad I was.

I knew what I saw, I knew what I felt, my kidnapper had been to my room and he had hurt me, I wasn’t going mad, I was too sure of it to believe that it could be an illusion. I was so angry at Jordan and also disappointed in myself. I still didn’t understand why I was always looking for something different, thinking he would be better or change or act like an actual person with correct reasoning. The past few days I had been expecting too much from him and getting disappointed every time.

I shook my head and pushed off the thought of Jordan from my mind. I had more pressing needs, so I decided to think. Samantha was right when she said the security had been tripled. No one could come into the house and leave without being spotted, questioned, or caught. One man couldn’t come in and leave without being spotted especially if he is a man that can’t walk properly even. No one could do that, except they had help.

That thought made me shift from my bed and triggered a slight pain in my foot. I winced lowly and sat down in a better position. My kidnapper had help, if he didn’t he wouldn’t be able to come into the mansion, bypass the security, walk past the house and come straight for my room. It was either someone who was helping him, and when I mean someone, I mean Jordan, Samantha, or both.

My phone rang immediately and pulled me out of my serious thoughts. When I saw the callers, I sighed in relief because they were the right people I needed to talk to.

“Hey” I announced the moment I picked up the call.

“Hey, and hey” Tiana and Tiffany announced happily.

“You guys sound happy” I started.

“Of course we are, how can little bundles of joy like us ever sound sad” Tiffany replied and I managed a chuckle.

“I am not a bundle with you girl, don’t say that, you are not a kid”Tiana replied her and they both started arguing about it. It was funny to hear them bickering like kids but my heart was heavy and my life was at stake to laugh. Maybe if I just declined ma’am Leona’s offer, my life wouldn’t be at stake as it was. I had never had so much trouble and bruises in my life and here I was with so many. I might have probably found a job for myself now, and pay mom Leona some part of the money she used in taking care of my sister if I did not accept the offer. But the deed had been done and I could do absolutely nothing about it, I could only live my life with regret.

“Are you alright?” Tiana’s voice pulled me out of my thought and that was when I realized that they had both stopped bickering.

“No,” I said truthfully, and instantly gave them a rundown of all that had been happening to me.

“Gosh, Jordan is a jerk” Tiana yelled over the phone at the end of my story.

“He might be a part of this you know, he can’t just be so stupid or ignorant about all this” she added and I could hear the anger in her voice.

“I don’t know…I just don’t know” I replied exhausted about the entire situation.
