Get Me Married

Chapter 56: Enough of it all

“What did I just do?” I questioned myself, annoyed at myself.

“What was I thinking lying to her like that?” I sighed heavily and looked up at her from where Ii sat at the dinning table, her eyes met mine with nothing but suspicion written all over her, and just like I had been doing for days, I looked away.

There was something about those blue eyes of hers, they looked so pure, it expressed her deepest emotions. If you look closely enough, you would know what she feels while looking at those eyes of hers, and just like they mirror her feelings, it feels like they also pierce into the soul of whoever she is staring at.

For over some days, guilt had been the only thing eating me up. I found out my girlfriend had indeed kidnapped her as she had been saying all along and I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to send Samantha to jail, and I also wanted justice for Genesis. But my incompetence to decide what to do as a man had made me feel too guilty to even go close to her. I remember those times I didn’t believe a thing she said against Samantha, I even hurt her those times and it turned out that she was saying the truth. Everything she had ever said turned out to be the truth. Then when I think about Ava’s revelation, things just got worse and the thought of how I had treated her made me feel like I was an animal.

Jordan Chase, every woman’s desire. I had never hurt any woman the way I hurt her at every given opportunity I got because I thought her to be a liar, a gold digger, and a manipulator whereas she was not. So far she had proven to be none of those things. I knew I needed to apologize, but what would an apology do at that moment. It would neither take back all the things I said and did to her. I was slowly losing it with so much guilt and the only reason why I was still sane enough was that I had avoided her like she was a disease. I would check on her from the guards and the maids and most times I would watch her from afar. But I never ever went close, I was too scared, too guilty to go an inch close to her.

But that fateful evening I had to talk to her myself since she was not eating. I was worried that she was in pain or thoughts. I was just worried that I had to go to her myself with my conscience eating me up from deep within. Then the guard had informed us about the inspector. My heart skipped when I thought about Samantha. I was scared they found out the truth and had come for her but it turned out that they didn’t. In as much as I was happy and relieved, I was also sad and angry because Genesis was sad, she wanted justice alone and it seemed like we were ganging up against her.

Those words just came out of my mouth. I had no idea that I would have lied to her because of this case, but I did it just to protect Samantha from her wrath. Once again, I was adding mistakes upon myself and topping more guilt upon myself.

I could not even look at her when I knew I had become a culprit to her criminal case by lying to her the way I did. I felt ashamed of myself but what was I supposed to do? Who in his right mind would send his lover to jail?

The food didn’t taste so good anymore. Nothing tasted good for me and the way she stared at me. The suspicion she had in her eyes made it all the more uncomfortable.

“I’m done here” I found myself saying and getting up from where I stood.

I wore my night robe and sat on the bed. My thoughts were on what happened earlier. Once again, Samantha was walking out freely like she was never in the picture. I had no idea how she was doing it, but she was always escaping and it was making me exhausted. She did wrong and needed to be punished. I went through so much in the hands of those men and the one who she planted in our house, I went through too much for her to just walk freely, like nothing happened. She might come back for me, she might have a better punishment, I was not safe with her in my house. vet no one was seeing that.

time, my thoughts had traveled to Jordan and the suspicious attitude he had been displaying lately. I felt like something was wrong and it all had to do with my case. And at the same time, I wished he wasn’t lying to me. I hoped he wasn’t. I wanted him to be free from any accusations and wouldn’t want to

All the days I had been in that house, I have been so scared of crossing to the part of the house, and even when my fear of Jordan disappeared, I had kept my distance just to avoid trouble coming my way.
