Get Me Married

Get Me Married By Tori Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Her condition

The car came to a halt at the apartment that once belonged to I, Tiana and Tiffany. I sighed and came down from the car, ignoring the eyes that stared at me. I walked straight to the apartment and pushed the door open as I have always done.

Tiana was watching a movie at the sitting room when I came in, as her usual self, she kept shouting at the tv screen. A faint smile spread to my lips with the familiar feeling that encircled me.

She was always shouting at the actors in all movie, do this, do that, jerk, don’t do that. I remember I was always the type that liked it still and quiet when watching a movie and Tiana was the loud one. We would fight and argue because of how noisy she was, at the end of the day none of us would watch the movie.

I stared at her, I was just happy watching her. My life was so peaceful and perfect, the only problem we had was money but at least I was happy, I was genuinely happy and no one took me for a joy ride. No boy joked with my feelings and no one used me as a pawn in their sick game.

“Tiana….I can’t find my shoe” Tiffany yelled from the room.

“I don’t wear your shoes” Tiana yelled back.

“Uhmmm, yes you do. Look I just need the silver coloured one and I can’t find it” she yelled back and I giggled lightly.

“Tiffany, my legs are bigger than yours, I can’t wear your shoes” she rolled her eyes.

“That’s true …” Tiffany said and I could hear her footstep as she walked out of the room.

“Genesis was the one who had the same size as me” she added and the back of my eyes burned with tears. I missed them so much.

“Yeah, do you think she is doing fine” Tiana said with emotions in her voice.

“Hell yeah, she is married to a Chase” Tiffany said sadly and came out of the room.

Then her eyes fell on me immediately. She screamed so loud, my ears felt the pain. Then she ran towards me and hugged me, I hugged her back with so much emotions going through my heart.

“How long .. I didn’t know you were here” Tiana pulled me into a hug the moment Tiffany let go of me.

“Of course you wouldn’t know. Genesis was always good at sneaking up on you” Tiffany added and I chuckled

I pulled away from the hug and stared at the both of them. My heart was filled with so much happiness from being with them.

“Your silver coloured shoes is at the left side of my wardrobe, below the drawer” I told Tiffany

and she grinned at me. Her eyes became cloudy with tears immediately and she pulled me into another hug.

“We missed you so much” she said. I hugged her back and felt ‘Tiana hug me from behind. Tears clouded my eyes and I allowed it flow. They were my friends after all and I had missed them. I left them behind, I moved on to a rich family and left my friends. And I regretted it, I regretted my decision, I hated what I did and wished I could go back in time

Jordan had hurt me, his mother had hurt me, his father had hurt me. Every single member of his family had hurt me. I left my family and friends and life to be with people who didn’t really care about me and my emotions, they all hurt me.

With that thought, my eyes watered more than it should, I could no longer hold myself and I cried openly like a child while my knees became weak.

“Genesis….” Tiffany and Tiana called out at once when they saw how I was shaking and crying in their arms. They pulled away from the hug and my knees gave way and I fell on the floor.

“Hey…hey” Tiana said and knelt beside me as she pulled me to herself.

“Calm down, breath” she soothed my back while I cried into her arms.

They allowed me cry, not once did they stop me. They allowed me breath, they allowed me pour out my feelings while they watched and waited for me to pull myself together. When I felt better, I stopped and pulled away from Tiana. She helped me stand up and led me to the couch while Tiffany handed me a glass of water. I gulped down everything and took a deep breath before exhaling

They both said nothing, they didn’t need to because I would tell them anyway. I was permitted to take time for myself while they waited patiently for me to be composed enough to talk.

When I felt okay, I was composed enough, I sighed and relaxed my back on the couch.

“I want a divorce” I said to them and watched the concern in there face turn to shock.

“Uhmmm, what are you saying?” Tiana asked me.

“I can’t be married to Jordan, I want to leave him and come back to my normal life” I said allowing a tear to slide away from my eyes.

Tiana and Tiffany looked at each other, unsure they were hearing me well, or maybe they thought I had gone crazy

“I know what I am saying. Those people are bad and …”

: Those people are bad and ….” The tears flowed more and Tiana patted my back.

“Shhhhh, it’s fine” she said, soothing me so I wouldn’t go into another long minutes of crying.

“Tell us what happened, why the drastic decision?” she asked. I gave her a faint smile when! remembered how and what they said. I breathed in and out, ready to tell my story.

“After Jordan left the wedding…..” I started and there I narrated all that took place, the good and

the bad, the feelings I felt, the joy, the pain, the sadness, the happiness, the loneliness, all the overwhelming feelings I felt and I explained all too well. Till the most recent. Jordan Chase didn’t want me, I wasn’t even the one he was supposed to marry, he loved someone else. Mom Leona lied and toiled with me like I was her puppet so she could get access to more riches. She ignored my feeling, she ignored what it would feel like to be me and pushed me to her son who loved Samantha so much, he brought her back home, he brought her back to the house that was supposed to be ours.

“He did what?” Tiana flared and got up from beside me, ready to kill someone.

“How could he do that?” Tiffany said sadly and I just sat and stared at them. A part of me was relieved and I was happy I got to share my problem.

Tiana on the other hand was so angry, she stormed out and stormed back in after a while with a bottle of alcohol in her hands. She dropped the bottle in front of me and went ahead to bring a glass while I watched. When she returned, she came back with three tiny glass we always used for taking shots and opened the drink. She poured a mouthful into the glasses and gave it to each of us. I gulped down my own quickly and felt the burning sensation in my throat, my chest and down to my stomach. I guessed that was what I needed.

Tiana breathed in deeply, then out before she turned to me.

“You can’t leave” she said clearly calm and over her anger. I openly gaped at her and wondered if she even heard my story at all.

“I know what you must be thinking, I am crazy..but I am not” she added and I smiled faintly.

“So you must be tipsy then” Tiffany added grudgingly and she shook her head but gave no reply.

Tiana always did that, she always thought and assimilated her words well before she spoke and I knew that was exactly what she was doing at that point.

“You see” she started and I turned to her to listen to what she had to say, knowing very well she wasn’t Tiffany who always had to say whatever came to her mind, even if it sounded terrible.

“You are legally married to that jerk” she cursed Jordan and I chuckled.

“With or without that bitch, you are still his wife and you can’t let that girl or anyone else change that” she said and I sighed.

“Jordan doesn’t love her, can’t you see. He loves Samantha, there is no use being in such a marriage” Tiffany added.

“I know that” Tiana rolled her eyes at Tiffany.

“But if he has an affair out side, such scenerio’s only affects the lady if she is madly in love with her husband, which Genesis here isn’t” she said and smiled at me.

“Or, are you inlove with Jordan already?” she asked and looked at me with weird eyes. I thought for a second about my reply. Jordan was amazing ofcourse and when we spoke on phone, I felt connected to him, I felt happy and saw a different Jordan from the cold, angry, harsh Jordan I just left his house. I did like that Jordan, a lot but at the rate things went, I no longer liked him even.

“No, I don’t love him” I said coldly and Tiana smiled.

“Cool. Well now that is over with, you shouldn’t be affected by Samantha’s presence. Be a wife, be the trophy wife they want and focus on building your dreams and career” Tiana added

“What the hell are you saying?” Tiffany yelled at her.

“She can’t leave with such disrespect, love or no love” she added.

“I know, it’s hard to have been used that way. I know all that but she doesn’t have an option too knowing that her parents signed a contract that would make sure she does not leave the marriage till the next five years” Tiana added and my head snapped at her.

“What?” I raised my voice.

“Yes…you were so busy on your wedding day” she explained and I sighed.

I realized mom Leona really had everything planned out, she knew exactly how to trap me and she did it perfectly well.

“And you won’t deny the fact that this marriage has changed the life and future of your family” she said the truth, the only truth.

I groaned and relaxed myself on the chair.

“I hate to admit it but Tiana has a point. Ignore them and carry on with your life, your family needs this. Ava needs this” Tiffany added and I felt like disappearing. It was my happiness for theirs once again.

I sinked deeper into the couch and allowed their words sink in, I didn’t see myself having an option anyways.

“I’m hungry” I simply said to Tiana who smiled weakly at me.

Tiana ordered some pizza after wards and I ate till I could no longer eat anymore. We had some laughs and jokes then I had to leave, I needed to see my parents anyway. I said my goodbyes to them with tears in our eyes and came out of the house. It was pretty dark by then but that wasn’t my business, I had a whole security to myself.

We drove off to my parents house and I stepped down when we arrived. The environment again looked like one that a child should grow up in. It didn’t look like my former home where mom and dad gave birth to me. It was a place of death, youths got killed day by day for going into drugs or being in the wrong group. Kids got killed for playing too close to the road or drinking bad water. I smiled a faint smile in remembrance of how I grew up and slowly walked towards the house. Without knocking I walked in, it was my house after all.

“Excuse me miss” a lady that was a little bit older than me came out of the kitchen. I stared at her,

shocked to actually see a stranger in my house.

“Please who are you?” she asked and I looked around, just to be sure I was in the right house.

“Ma’am you have to say something or else I will be calling the cops”she added when I said

nothing to her.

“Sorry… I just needed to be sure I was at the right place” I said with a smile after seeing the stuffs at the house that proved it was the right place.

“I don’t think you are at the right place” she said in a tone that showed she was clearly getting pissed.

“Blue eyesssss” Ava screamed from God knows where and ran out, then she jumped at me, making me almost loose my balance.

“Ava…” I exclaimed almost scolding her but with her hands wrapped around me, tears burned the back of my eyes and I hugged her back tightly. I missed her so much.

“What are you doing here, I wasn’t expecting to see you” she said and pulled away from the hug.

“What?” I sniffed.

“Don’t you want me here, isn’t this my home anymore” I asked and blinked rapidly so I wouldn’t cry in front of her but that was a waste of my time because I cried anyways.

My tears triggered hers and she also started crying.

“Ofcourse it is, it’s your home okay. Don’t ever say that. Its just, after your wedding, mom said you might be busy and won’t be able to see us yet” she said and wiped the tears away from her eyes.

“Why are you crying, is something wrong?” she asked me and stretched her hands towards my face to wipe my tears as well.

“I missed you so much” I said with another wave of tears coming out from my eyes.

“Now, you are going to make me cry all through the night” she pouted and allowed a tear slipped away from her eyes before she hugged me again.

“I missed you so much too” she said and we both cried our eyes out.

“Mom said, you are my hero. She said you exchanged your live for me and dad and mom. I have a little idea of what she means and that’s why I will forever love you” Ava said tearfully and my heart shredded into more pieces.

I pulled away from the hug so I could face her, not sure my mom did the right thing by telling her such

“My love for you and dad and mom drives me. I will do anything to make you happy, to keep you all safe and give you a better life” I said amidst tears and wiped hers.

“Now tell me, are you happy? Do you like it here? Is there anything else you want?” I asked.

She smiled weakly at me.

“I am happy, I love it here and I want you to come back” she said and tried blinking back her tears.

“But I know you are married now, you can’t right. So I am going to sacrifice my happiness and wish to always be with you so you can be happy in your new home” she added strongly and sniffed.

My heart shredded into more pieces at the sight of her. Ava was growing up so fast, it pained me that I wouldn’t be there to see her grow up as I thought I would.

“Come here you” I said and pulled her into another hug.

“I love you blue eyes” she said. I kissed her head and pulled away from the hug.

“I love you too” I said with a funny face and she giggled.

I turned and my eyes fell on the lady who I had met the moment I came home.

“Who is she?” I asked making Ava to turn towards her

“My nanny, Loretta” Ava replied and.my brows knitted up.

“You have a nanny now I see” I said wickedly at her and she rolled her eyes.

“I told mom I didn’t need one but she wouldn’t have it” she said and I’ chuckled.

“Sorry ma’am, I really didn’t recognize you. I am so sorry” Loretta said to me almost immediately.

“Its fine” I smiled warmly at her.

“Didn’t you see her blue eyes, I told you she had the bluest eyes you would ever see” Ava said and placed her hands on her waist.

“Yes you did, but I guess I was just too scared to know someone walked in without knocking” she said and pouted at Ava making me chuckle again.

“I am sorry for that” I apologized and she waved her hands in the air.

“Its fine” she said.

“Where is mom and dad” I asked Ava.

“Oh, they went on a dinner date” Ava grinned girlishly at me.

“Ohhh” I grinned widely at her, feeling pretty happy that they could do such things. They never even had time to eat together at home but dinner dates were suddenly their thing. Of course I was happy for them.

“You can leave now. I will tuck her to sleep, it’s almost her bed time anyway” I said to the nanny, who incline her head respectfully at me before going in to take her things.

When she returned, she was ready to take her leave.

“Make sure you study okay?” she said to Ava and gave her a hug. novelbin

“I will” Ava hugged back

“Thank you ma’am” Loretta said to me.

“Goodnight” I simply said to her and watched her leave.

I and Ava went ahead to watch cartoon, then we talked a while and joked till she dozed off on the couch. I called one of my security men to help me carry her back to her room then I did some tidying up and made some cookies for my parents. So they would know I came by, I alone could make such cookies anyway.

After doing everything I thought I could do, I went back upstairs and gave Ava a goodnight kiss. I wasn’t going to stay over as I thought I would anymore.

When I came out of the house, it was dark and almost midnight. I felt for my men, they still stood their ground and did their job, it must have been so difficult.

The night was airy and the roads weren’t as busy. It gave me time to think.

I had left Jordan’s house with the thought of never returning but after hearing Tiana out and seeing Ava…well, I changed my mind.

Ava was so happy, she even had a nanny and my parents could go on dinner dates. I made that possible and there was no way I was going to take away that happiness and peace I had given. I couldn’t take back the life I had changed for mine and that was what drove me.

I decided that Jordan and his lover could go to hell, I would watch them painfully but I was a trophy wife after all and I was going to play my part pretty well.

When we got to the mansion, the flowers that stood like walls gave me a comforting feeling and that was what I needed. If I couldn’t get comfort from the man I married, then at least I could get comfort from our house.

The security that night was even more than it was during the day, they strolled to and fro and kept communication with one another pretty well. I stepped down from the car and they bowed to me. I still needed to get used to my new life.

I took a deep breath and walked into the house I had once walked out from in tears.

“Oh my God, Genesis” Mom Leona called out to me but I immediately raised my hands in the air, shutting her up.

I didn’t need her drama, neither did I need any more of her manipulating. Without saying a word or sparing her a glance I walked upstairs to the right wing and straight to the masters bedroom.

When I got to the huge door, I didn’t bother to knock, it was my room after all. I walked inside and saw Samantha straddled ontop of Jordan as they made out.

My heart fell and a knot tied in my stomach at the sight of the both of them in my matrimonial bedroom. I fought the feeling to cry and stood my ground, knowing I had to be strong.

Then I cleared my throat and crossed my arms over my chest as they both paid attention to me. Again, I didn’t fail to see the surprise at Samantha’s eyes as she came down from Jordan.

Jordan on the other hand glared at me with cold, angry eyes. He got up from the bed and stood tall, his muscles were tensed and his jawline stiffened. Samantha smiled broadly when she saw Jordan’s reaction to me.

“I thought I told you….

“I heard all the rubbish you had to tell me earlier” linterrupted him without giving him a chance to intimidate me and I didn’t fail to see Samantha’s eyes pop with surprise and shock again.

My words made Jordan angrier but I ignored him, I was angry as it was on my own.

“I had no clue that you never wanted this marriage with me” I started.

“But you have me and I can’t leave or get divorced till 5 years of this marriage is over. I get you want me out of your face but guess what….?”

“You are going to keep seeing this face for a very long time and during those time I have conditions” I said and I heard Samantha scoff.

“who do you think you are to even have conditions” Samantha said getting up from where she sat.

I smirked at her, she was clearly naïve of the kind of person I was. I might seem weak and always have panic attacks at the wrong time but when I get past that, I was a foe to be reckoned with.

“I am his… legal…wife” I said stressing out my words and she went pale, then I turned back to Jordan who was still glaring at me.

“Do whatever you want, how ever you want it and I wouldn’t care. But you have to respect me as your wife” I said to him glaring hard at him myself. As I said, I was pretty pissed too.

“Samantha is your mistress and shouldn’t be allowed in this bedroom” I said and his eyes darkened.

“You have some respect as a man, don’t you?” I asked though I wasn’t expecting an answer.

“And you ain’t just any regular man, you are Jordan Chase, you have a name and a reputation that commands respect and you won’t have that respect if it turns out your lust and desire over threw your self respect, discipline and morals. As your wife, respect me. I won’t be in this bedroom, but she shouldn’t dare step her foot in it ever again” I said and turned to Samantha who was going white all over.

“Never kiss her or smooch around when I am around. As I said, I am your wife now, I hate it but we both have to live with it. Respect me enough to not do stupid things in ways I can see you” I said and

turned to the door.

*More conditions might come on later on. And keep your manipulative mother away from me T said and walked out the door.
