Chapter 52: His guilt

GENESIS

I couldn’t stop smiling at Ava. I didn’t believe that she would be in my house, I never even thought thatwould be possible in the nearest futurc, considering how terrible my relationship with jordan was

“You have to stop beaming at me like that” Ava pulled me out of my thought while using a pillow to hitme,

“I am sorry I am just so happy to see you,” I said and dragged the pillow away from her.

“Jordan has to be amazing to have brought me here just to make you happy” Ava responded and mysmile quickly disappeared. Thinking about Jordan and his little surprise made me wonder what kind ofman he was and what would have prompted his changes.

I remembered that I had woken up early noon and felt my bones and body had refused to wake up withme. So I lay on the bed for a long uime till I started getting hungry and went to the door. The guardsfrom the previous night had been standing by the door and the memories of what happened before I fellasleep came back to me in a strange way. I thought of how I had fallen asleep in the movie room andhow I ended up sleeping in my bed. My cheeks heated up when I thought of Jordan and how he hadacted the previous night, then his sudden chan was behaving so caring and loving and sweet. It was anice thing to see and I had he would just remain that way and not return to the Jordan I met on the firstday of being married to him. With the guards at my door, getting Margaret upstairs to give me my lunchwas easier and faster and I had eaten a whole lot of it till I couldn’t eat anymore. I took a quick showerafter and wanted to just go back and rest on the bed when Margaret told me of who was here in themansion. At first, I thought she was joking so I ignored her. But she persisted and I saw theseriousness in her voice when she told me that Jordan had brought Ava to the mansion.

“Where is she?” I asked with wide eyes.

“The right-wing…” She answered and my heart skipped. Of everything, and every place to be, it had tobe there, she wasn’t supposed to be on the right-wing in the first place. I knew how Jordan could bewhen it came to his beautiful right wing and could clearly remember all the things he did to me becauseof that same place of the house.

Without taking so much. I immediately pushed myself out of my bed and out of the room straight to theright-wing with my heart beating inside my chest. I could only think of what Jordan could be doing toher. It was a wrong thought, of course, a terrible one at that but Jordan had hurt me before justbecause I was on the right-wing for a few minutes and I couldn’t help but imagine what he would bedoing to my sister at that time at the right-wing too.

But when I pushed the door to his studies open with something else in my mind, I had seen somethingentirely different. And had felt guilty for thinking of such monstrous things about Jordan

“What were you doing at his studies?” I asked Ava, pulling myself out of my thought.

“He had asked me to remain there with him to buy time till you finally wake up from your beauty sleep”she replied and an ‘oh escaped my mouth.

“And why were you sleeping in so much? Are you sick?” She asked and placed the back of her handson my forehead.

“I am fine” I groaned and took her hands away.

“Your voice sounds fine…” She added and looked at me from head to toe.

“But your skin doesn’t…what happened to you?” She asked and I gulped at her observation. It was theexact reason why I didn’t want to visit them, my skin had not fully healed and I was too sure they would

take notice of it and ask questions.

“It’s nothing, just a few scratches I got from being too reckless” I replied and looked away from herscrutinizing gaze.

“And what about you? And mom and dad? How are they? How have you all been doing?” I quicklychanged the topic and she sighed.

“It has been great without you,” she said and I scoffed.

“Great, you have a good life without me,” I said dryly and her smirk disappeared.

“Are you not having a good life?” She suddenly asked and my jaw dropped with surprise.

“What?…no…”

“Well…yes. I am…” I stuttered. I saw that look in her eyes, the one which proved that she didn’t buyone thing of what I was saying.

“I am fine, have you seen where I live and all I have. I have a good life…” I added and forced a smile asmuch as I could just to deceive my smart and talkative sister.

“Genesis…..” She called out and placed her hands on mine in a comforting gesture.

“I am fine Ava..it just hasn’t been the same without you, mom, dad, Tiffany, and Tiana” I lied, partly, andtears clouded my eyes almost immediately. I missed them all so much and missed the life I had backthen, but I knew it wasn’t the entire truth. I didn’t have a good life as Jordan’s wife and if I was ever tohave a good life, it just began days ago. My life was like a living hell and it was so bad, I couldn’t bearto even tell them about it. It was the sacrifice I had to pay for the good life they had and that wasenough for me.

She smiled at my last words and suddenly pulled me into a tight hug. I wrapped my hands around herand buried my face on her neck, the tears that clouded my eyes came pouring down and my emotionswere suddenly all over the place. It was exactly what I needed at that point. The comfort from a lovedone, something to pull me up and remind me of how strong I am and how much they all had my backjust as I had theirs.

“Just hang in there” she whispered in my ears. And squeezed me tightly with her little hands like shecould see through my pain and understand my deepest desires, concerns, and hurt. Then she pulledaway and sniffed loudly. Before wiping away the tears in her eyes.

After that episode of tears and crying, I and Ava had a chit-chat about all that was happening. We ate,we laughed, we toured and talked a lot, we didn’t realize how far spent time had gone till

Jordan came knocking on my door.

When I saw him come in, my heart skipped as usual. I stared at him with gratitude and appreciation.

“Hey…” He said to Ava instead and did not even spare me a glance.

“It’s time to leave” he added and smiled weakly.

“So soon…” I blurted out and he turned to me but just as quickly he looked away also. Refusing tomeet my eyes.

“I am sorry, but your mom and dad and school. We can do this some other time, during the holidays,you can stay here all you want” he said to her. Ava in turn forced a sad smile and turned to meunderstanding what Jordan was saying. But my heart was saddened and I could only wish that shecould remain with me and not live as Jordan wanted. But I had to understand too and I smiled weaklytoo. Hating the thought of being by myself once again.

Without further delay, we went downstairs together while holding her hands. I gave her all the warning Icould, all the advice I could, and talked to her like an elder sister would before we got to the car.

By the time, we arrived, she hugged me again and with a sad heart, I watched her hop into the carwithout being able to stop her or do anything about it.

Then I turned to Jordan, he was standing beside her part of the car and was speaking to her aboutsomething I couldn’t hear. Yet, his face was in an emotionless expression and his eyes were looking atanywhere but me. It was strange, but I still needed to thank him for what he did for me. Whatever hisintentions were for giving me such a surprise, I was happy and only just wanted to say a big thank youto him at least.

I slowly walked towards him right before he could turn around and entered the car. But his eyes landedon me before I was close to enough and the moment he noticed me coming towards him, he turnedaround in a swift move and went to the other side of the car.
