Get Me Married

Chapter 65: Returning home

GENESIS

Looking out the window, I watched as the sun rose and our car passed the buildings and houses that made the city. We were back in the familiar serene, quiet trail that led to the beautiful mansion of Jordan Chase. Yes, you heard me, I was officially going back to Jordan and it didn’t leave a good feeling inside of me.

After Jordan’s words the previous day, my father had asked him to leave, he wanted to speak to me. It was hard, but he left reluctantly and I had breathed a sigh of relief after.

I turned to my father and he once again pulled me into a hug. I settled in them, for it was the protection I needed, it was exactly what I needed at that point and I was really happy that they were there. The warmth of his embrace reminded me that I had someone who loved me, someone who would shield me, someone who would do anything for me. I was still his daughter, his baby girl and if he could take away all my pain, he would. My father.

“Come on princess, let’s go home,” he said and I pulled away from him. I stared up at him and he simply smiled at me, a smile that spoke a lot. I wanted to go home with them, and I didn’t care if it was the old place we were before the Chases came into our lives. I didn’t care what home he was talking about but I was ready to leave with him and just be with my family.

“No…” I replied sadly.

“Wait…what? Why?” My mother pulled my arm so I could look at her.

“If I follow you home, the reporters would follow me too. I don’t want your lives to be destroyed by them” I answered.

“We don’t care about that, your friends might want the reporters out of their hair too” my dad put in. I sighed for a while and turned to Tiana and Tiffany who were at a corner. They needed a break and I should give them that, but call it selfish, I rather they than my family.

“We want them out of our hair truly” Tiffany blurted out and I looked away from them ashamed of myself and the chaos I brought with me.

“But your daughter is more like a sister to us sir. If staying here is the best for her, we won’t mind that” she added.

My father turned to me, sadness was written all over his eyes and it broke my heart to see that look he had. It’s been such a long time I saw that look with him. The look of helplessness and pain.

“Are you sure about this?” He asked.

“Connor….?”my mother didn’t approve.

“Don’t Abigail…” He interrupted her.

“She knows what she wants” I smiled at him and turned to my mother.

“I am sure. You don’t have to be worried about me”

With that said, they settled down and I pleaded with Tiana to help bring Ava. I was sure she was worried about me as well, my mother had also told me how worried she was and it wasn’t bad that I saw her. When Tiana left, Tiffany went about dinner and I got to seat and speak with my parents for a long time.

“You should have told us that you were being maltreated in that house Genesis. How long were you planning to keep this away from us?” Mother scolded.

“I wasn’t being maltreated ma,” I lied, not knowing why I was still covering up for Jordan.

“Don’t dare lie to me. I saw that other woman and the way she spoke and carried herself proved a lot” she raised her voice and I turned to her.
