Get Me Married

Chapter 60: Claiming his wife

JORDAN

“Jordan…” I heard Samantha’s voice from the door of our bedroom and looked away from my phone, I turned to the door. She was poking her head through the door like she was scared of coming in. I sighed heavily, I couldn’t stay angry at her for such a long time though this had more momentum. With my head, I nudged and urged her to come. She came in skeptically and stared at me nervously. But she stood some distance away from me like she was scared I would hurt her. I didn’t blame her, I had been doing that for a while because she had been getting me really upset. I remembered the way she had spoken to the Connors, I also remembered the way they stared at me and the things my mother-in-law had said.

Their daughter was living in my house and making everyone believe that her life was perfect. Everyone thought she was happy and I believed she would have preferred it that way because she wouldn’t have her parents worrying about her. I believed that would have been what she wanted and I was ready to reject Samantha right there, I was ready to lie and pretend just to cover up what their daughter would like to but Samantha had gone and ruined it and they hated me for it. Even when she declined my first marriage proposal, I never got angry at her like the way I was today. She crossed a line and she had been crossing a lot. Hitting a woman shouldn’t be what you are proud of, but I couldn’t help it.

“Do you have something you want to say to me?” I asked her.

“Are you going to bring her back?” She asked with a very low tone.

“Yes,” I replied dryly.

“Don’t you want to get married to me anymore?” She asked.

“Of course I do”

“Then why aren’t you getting rid of her. Can’t you see this is an opportunity”

“Opportunity for what?” I snapped at the thought of how unremorseful she was. She turned away from me and said nothing. I was in a tight position, this would have been an opportunity to have her live my life as I wanted from the beginning. But it was no longer about me or Samantha anymore. It was about the woman I had hurt because I was angry, it was about the woman who was supposed to be under my care. She did nothing wrong from the beginning and was simply stuck. I felt like I should have done better, and I didn’t want to let her go with such terrible thoughts about me.

“I want to right the wrong we have done to her. And if it means I will have to stay longer with her, then I would” I said lastly to Samantha before I got up from where I sat. I turned to the door with only one place in my mind, the apartment Genesis had been hiding.

“You can’t do that?” Samantha followed behind me.

“What would happen to me, don’t you love me anymore?” She kept asking with her voice breaking at every turn, while she followed behind me.

“Jordan… please” she sobbed and held my arm so I could stop. I turned to her and the look she

had on her face….she had tears in her eyes and seeing her that way always hurt me. But I had made up my mind.

“Sam…it’s might not be five years precisely,” I said in a comforting tone.

“You don’t have to bring her back, please, think about this please”

“There is nothing to think about Samantha. You hurt her, I hurt her and she did nothing wrong, to begin with”

“No, don’t say that. She did wrong, she got married to you and made you get married to her while pretending to be me” she yelled.

“No, she didn’t. Not once did she ever pretend to me, I misinterpreted everything”

“Don’t defend her that way, she stole you from me” she continued with wide eyes.

“She didn’t” I yelled at her. It was a decision I made, it was a sacrifice I was willing to take and I hoped she would understand where I was coming from. Samantha stared at me with wide eyes and tears streaming down her cheeks.

“You still have me, and you won’t lose me. You just have to wait for some years till we find something suitable” I said and went closer to her but she moved away from me.

“If you love me Jordan, you won’t make this kind of decision” she spat in my face. I frowned at her for a while and just wanted to leave, so I turned around.
