Get Me Married

Chapter 19

Chapter 19: the advice

I struggled to walk back to my room. My heart was too heavy and so were my legs. I kept breathing in and out because of the fear of having another panic attack. That was the last thing I wanted and it was better I got to my room soon.

“Ma’am are you alright?” Margaret came out of nowhere and ran to my aid. She placed my hands over her shoulders and held my waist, helping me with my weight.

I sniffed and tried to clean my tears but I changed my mind about it, she had seen me in my weakest time, I didn’t see why I had to hide my tears away from her.

“you should be asleep” I said to her and sniffed.

“You should be in your husband’s room” she replied and I stopped walking, my head snapped back at her immediately and she looked away.

“I’m sorry” she apologized and I started walking again. Though I knew somehow that she was right, I should have been the one in his room but I wasn’t.

Even after my conditions, he disrespected and disregarded me. He brought in another woman and she was in the room with him like it was hers from the beginning.

When I got to my room, I took a seat at the couch and Margaret brought me a glass of water which I gulped down immediately.

“Thank you” I said to her and she smiled faintly at me.

“Please be patient with him. Jordan needs you” she added and I scoffed at her ridiculous demand.

How could she have expected me to be patient with someone like that. It wasn’t so possible, I was already loosing it.

“You can go to bed now. You need your rest” I said, dismissing her.

“Goodnight ma’am” she said and turned to the door.

“Margaret” I called and she paused.

“Yes ma’am” she replied and turned to me.

“My breakfast should be brought up to my room from now on” I said and she gaped at me for a second.

“But ma’am……”

“Come on please, don’t make this harder on me” I interrupted and she sighed.

“Yes ma’am” she replied reluctantantly and walked out.

I sighed and took off my clothes, having a shower was the best thing for me at that point and that was what I planned on doing.

I went into the bathroom and decided to make use of the shower. I wrapped my hair and covered it up before walking through the glass then I turned it on.

The chilled water ran through my body and relaxed my tensed muscles.

Jordan’s words ran through my mind and tears came flooding back. I couldn’t help but feel like somehow he was right. Maybe he might not be right about everything especially about the fact that he called me a gold digger, I wasn’t after his wealth like Samantha was but he was right when he said I came for his money.

My life changed because I bared his name and the tittle of a wife, my family’s life changed because I was his wife. I would have left and found a way to run away but because I couldn’t steal my family’s happiness and peace of mind, I remained.

I had watched them struggle for so long, and my marriage to Jordan had given them a better life. If that was me coming after his money, then I was guilty as charged.

But again he was wrong when he said I wasn’t a victim. I didn’t ask to be married to him. His mother had trapped me by giving my sister a new kidney. Though I was grateful but that was a terrible way to trap me. I was trapped with her son who was madly in love with a girl who wanted nothing but his money. I was the victim because I had to be the one to hide in my room so I wouldn’t see his face. I had to hide away from my own husband because he was gradually scaring the hell out of me.

I wiped my tears and smiled at myself. I thought of the reason I was doing all what I did. It was for Ava, my mom and my dad. For them I was going to sacrifice my happiness, my peace, my joy, my life and I wasn’t going to care about what Jordan thought about me.

A week after.

I came out of the shower and saw some of my maids grinning at me.

As days went by, the maids that flocked to my room increased. They were literally fighting over who would get me breakfast and help me dress up. They would find any excuse to be in my room, knowing I was always never coming out of it.

“What is it?” I asked them. Six of them couldn’t be grinning at me for nothing.

“We wanted to show you around the house” they chorused and I pretended I was thinking about it.

“No” I simply said and walked over to where they had placed my clothes.

“You have never even been out for a week. Come on, you need the air” another protested and I shrugged.

“Yeah I know. But that wouldn’t be today” I replied and their faces went sad.

“Oh now stop that” I ordered feeling really bad.

Almost all of the domestic staffs in the house have literally turned to friends. We joked and laughed and did more in their free time and I couldn’t help but understand why they were being 50 sad.

“Okay.I promise you all would get a chance to show me around soon” I said and they cheered up and grinned at me.

“When?” Anna asked.

“Soon” I replied and she pouted. She was the youngest of them all and closest to me after Margaret.

“But….”

“Here you are. I get tired of coming to this room to look for any maid that has gone missing” Margaret interrupted and I laughed.

“Out. Out. Out” she yelled at them and they all scurried away like kids.

“Good morning ma’am” she greeted.

“Good morning…” I replied.

“I am really sorry about them, I can’t imagine the trouble….”

“It’s fine, I love them being around” I replied and sat down on the bed.

“And they love you too I see” she smiled at me and my heart warmed up at her words.

I needed something or some one to prove to me that I belonged and if my husband didn’t do it. They did.

“Are you coming downstairs?” she asked and I gave her a look. The look that told her ‘no, I am perfectly fine up here!

She smiled faintly and turned to the door to leave while I went ahead to dress up and have my breakfast.

In the midst of my breakfast, someone knocked on my door and opened the door without waiting for me to say come in. No matter how good I was with my staff, none could do that. I had that ultimate respect.

I turned my head to the door and Samantha walked in with a smug look on her face.

Ever since that night, I had not seen her and I loved the peace I felt all those nights that I didn’t see her but she was right there in my room.

“It must be lonely and heart breaking to be all alone in this part of the house” she started and I rolled my eyes at her.,

“You know, if I were you. I would leave” she started and walked deeper into the room.

I ignored her, the Morning was going perfectly well to be ruined by her already.

“You don’i belong here, and Jordan doesn’t want you. Why can’t you leave?” she added but I ignored her. I didn’t know what hier game was but I was not going to play that game with her

“I am talking to you dammit” she said with an edginess to her voice when she noticed I wasn’t paying any attention to her. But as I said, I was going to ignore her.

“This house is mine, what ever I tell Jordan he is going to believe. It’s your loss anyway…” She paused and glared at me.

“I want you out of here” she barked and it was time to give her a reply.

I rounded up my breakfast and turned to her while seating on the bed.

“Are you scared of me?” I asked and her eyes widened.

“Yes..you are intimidated and insecure” I added and smirked at her.

“I let you do what you want because I want you to do what you want. But come here and vomit trash. Now….get out” I said calmly and her eyes widened.

“You have no idea who you are dealing with. You better leave or I will make you leave myself” she barked and walked out of my room. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

My morning was ruined already and her threat actually got to me. I knew I needed help and I needed it from someone who knew Samantha too. I could tell she wasn’t going to stop, she had a lot more in her sleeves and I needed some sort of advice.

After thinking for a while, the perfect person came to my mind and I quickly picked up my phone

I didn’t want to see her ofcourse but we had to speak and speak soon. I dialled her number and waited for her to pick up.

“Oh my… Genesis…”

“I want us to speak” I interrupted her rudely, I didn’t want to hear what she had to say.

“Ohh, uhmmmm. I will be free for the next two hours” she replied.

“Are you coming over?” she asked and I thought about it.

“No, actually no. Let’s meet at a restaurant” I replied and waited for her reply.

“Okay…which?” she asked.

“Pick anyone of your choice, I am on my way” I said and hunged up.

I changed my clothes. I wore a silky lemon button down shirt that stopped at my thighs. Then I added a black Valentino boot and a black shade. I packed my hair in a pony tail, put on some jewelries and added a lip balm to my lips. I picked up my phone. I looked at my reflection and

liked what I saw, then leaded for the door.

I smiled at the way the staffs looked at me and felt pretty good about myself.

On my way downstairs, I saw Samantha and gave her a smirk of my own. I felt really comfortable and confident about myself and knowing she felt insecure made my confidence boost grow to a different level.

I walked down stairs and smiled at all my staffs like I was some sort of celebrity and they were my fans.

As I walked my eyes turned to the dinning, and my heart skipped.

“Shit” I cursed when my eyes met with Jordan’s and as quickly I looked away like he was going to kill me if I stared too long.

I never even thought about him when I started coming downstairs. I just needed to see mom Leona because Samantha had triggered me to want to. It was a week after what happened the last time I had seen him and seeing him again felt different.

The guards bowed immediately they saw me and I flinched. It felt like I was in a movie ‘men on black’ no matter how much I saw them, I still wasn’t used to having men on Black all around me.

They quickly ran to the car and I followed behind. I stepped into the car and sat down comfortably and just as expected, we moved out in a convoy.

When we arrived at the restaurant mom Leona texted me. I got down and the security guard followed me. Two walked in front of me, two behind me and two each walked by my side. Keeping me in the middle.

I was directly taken to the table she reserved and the guards bowed to her and gave us a little space. I took my sit and noticed she had already ordered breakfast for her self.

I went ahead to pour myself some wine since I already had breakfast.

“You look amazing dear” she complimented and I thought of smiling at her but I couldn’t force it,

“You ruined my life, five years of my life. That thought can’t leave my head” I blurted and she stopped eating and stared at me.

“Is it that bad?” she asked and I smiled.

“Your son sleeps in the same room with Samantha and almost broke my arms the day I walked in on them” I glared at her.

Her eyes widened and she looked away.

“I didn’t know it was going to come to that. I never expected it would turn out this way she said with a note of sadness in her voice.

“What were you expecting to happen. You made me talk to a different person as Jordan and made me believe that he wanted to marry me when he thought I was someone else” I snapped at her

and immediately looked around to be sure I was not about to create a scenei was just so angry at her.

“It was Jordan you spoke with. It was him all along” she protested and my eyes widened. Then I went quiet

“I thought he would get angry and get over it. I never knew he would go look for Samantha himself and would even bring her back home” she said

“I never knew Samantha would even come back with him after she declined the marriage proposal I brought to her” she added and my eyes widened.

“Marriage proposal?” I asked confused.

“I asked her to marry Jordan myself but she refused and that was what made me look for someone else and found you” she explained and my eyes widened.

“She declined…why did she come back then? Why is she making it seem like it all happened under her nose?” I asked

“I never liked Samantha. She is a cunning witch and I would pick you over her over and over again” Mom Leona said and I sighed.

“She threatened me and asked me to leave the house. Your son isn’t making things easier because he trust her too much” I said and she sighed.

“I know. He has been inlove with her from the beginning of time itself. But I can tell you have seen yourself that she isn’t the right person for him” she added and I scoffed.

“They both deserved each other. Your son is an asshole” I cursed and she sighed again.

“I know… I know. But he wasn’t always like that. Things happened” she replied sadly.

“And I am paying for it” I groaned.

“You have all right to be angry at me” she started and I rolled my eyes.

“You have all right to kill me even. I did wrong and I was selfish” she admitted.

At those words, the anger in my heart disappeared. I was gaining from her manipulation and I would never forget that Ava was healthy and safe because of her. I was gaining from her manipulation

“It’s fine. I think I am done being angry” I said and she smiled at me.

“Good. Because I have never apologized to anybody” she said and I smirked. That was the Leona Chase I remembered.

She went back to her breakfast and I felt more at ease speaking with her.

“Samantha is after your son’s money” I said and she almost choked on her food. She coughed a lot and quickly gulped down a glass of water.

“I’m sorry” I apologized to her and she stared at me with bloodshot eyes.

“Are you sure? She is Samantha Brandon herself” mom Leona said

“My thoughts exactly but she blurted it out to me herself when she was pretty pissed” I said. She relaxed into her chair and groaned.

“I should have known…why didn’t I think of it. She didn’t want marriage but she knew the hold she had on my son…” she said with an edge to her voice while I watched.

“He won’t believe anything I tell him. He is angry at me as it is, he won’t believe anything that comes out of my mouth” she added and I groaned.

I had hoped she would help me out but with her words, I knew she wasn’t of any help.

“But you can do something” she added and smirked at me with mischieve in her eyes.

“You are a Chase now. And you are Jordan’s wife, you have more than she can ever have including beauty. She is sure to be intimidated by you” she said and leaned closer.

“Put her in her place. She has decieved my son for far too long now. Show her why I pick you and don’t ever let her intimidate you” she added and I smirked. I have been wanting to do that and she just gave me the go ahead order.

“But how…?” I asked.

“Genesis sweet. I saw something in you before I picked you. Stop hiding in the shadows and be you” she said and I smiled wearily at her.

“Stay away from Jordan a little. He doesn’t know that it wasn’t your fault that all this happened. He might be aggressive to you and till I get to explain that it was my fault and he actually believes me. Stay away” she warned and I frowned at her.

Atleast she was trying to help, it wasn’t so terrible talking to her anymore.

“Okay” I said to her.

“Genesis.” she called out with an emotional voice and I looked up to her.

“I know my son is a jerk but please look after him and put Samantha in her place”
