The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 51

The girl was really in an emotional breakdown. Liam decided to take her back to their bedroom where she could rest and calm down , so he helped her out of the study and took her straight to their room. After a few minutes of calming her, Ciara finally fell asleep and that’s when he got up to finish what he had started.

Instead of it being a family day, the Jones’ decided to keep things simple as some of the family members were going through something. All this though did not stop Maggie from cooking up a storm, with the help of the maids of cause. She had always believed that food can always lift up someone’s mood, one way or the other. So she was hoping that it will also do the trick for her new daughter in law.

As Ciara was Sleeping, Liam took his car keys and headed out to meet his friends Finnick and Matthew. He had asked them for help in solving the problem at hand, so they decided to meet at their usual spot, Crowded.

As Liam was about to get out of his car, a phone beeped inside the car, and the notification tone wasn’t of his phone, so he looked around till his eyes landed on Ciara’s phone which was flashing as it had just received a text.

“You have less than 24 hours to make up your mind, time is running out. Use it wisely.”

That was when he remembered that Wilson had threatened Ciara to leave him. His threat was exactly around the same time when the news about him being with Annie and Ciara being the third party broke. Could this be a coincidence or maybe he is the culprit of it all.

He took Ciara’s phone with him as he alighted the car, he needed to trace this number to the source of the post that had now gone viral on the internet. If it is him, Liam swore not to go easy on him. He needed to show or prove to everyone that nobody messes with his family and gets away with it.

This time they were using a private room at the basement and not the private booth they’d normally go for when they want to have fun. As he arrived, he noticed that he was the first to get there so he sat down and busied himself on his laptop, as an intelligent person, cracking codes was one of the things he was good at. Now that he was alone with no distractions, he was able to fully focus.

Back at the Jones family residence, as some time had passed since Ciara had slept, she finally woke up. She then rushed to the bathroom as nature called, as she was sitting on the toilet sit, all the nasty comments about her that she read earlier came back flashing.

She couldn’t believe that people whom she’d never met and that didn’t know her at all would call her all sorts of name, worst of all a whore. They knew nothing about her but still were able to say she was a man snatcher, a loose woman and someone who deserves to die. She robotically stood up and walked toward the wash basin and washed her hand, for a while staring at the mirror in front of her. She found that she couldn’t recognize the woman standing in front of her and this added to the turmoil and storm brewing in her. As second and minutes went by, she found herself falling in her knees and broke down, she cried so hard that she was about to faint from all the crying.

“Lord why me, why? Tell me why?………….. What have I done to deserve this?, why does my life have to be this hard? Huh tell me, why?..”

She knew getting out of the house was not an option, under the current circumstances. Now after this, life would never be the same again, and with people threatening to kill her, it would never be easy to walk on the streets as freely as she would like to.

She didn’t understand why would people be so cruel to her, she had never offended anyone knowingly, for them to attack her this way. Could it be her uncle? Maybe this was the way for him to push her in to obedience, but he had given her two days and those two days are not up yet.

Now she was coiled up in a fetus position on the bathroom floor, silently sobbing. She did not have the voice nor the energy to cry out loud, but one question kept coming out of her mouth.

“Why, why, why???”

Although she did not have the answer to that question, and only one person can give her those answers which was the culprit of it all. But that person was nowhere to be found, so she kept asking anyway. She wrapped her arms around her knees as she thought of possible solutions but nothing came to mind.

If it was her uncle behind it, then she would rather suffer together with the people who loved her and support her than to give up the person she valued the most and possibly end up being alone and miserable for the rest of her life. Breaking up with Liam was not an option right now. That man is the only real family she has and she made a vow to herself not to throw that away.

Suddenly the bathroom door opened abruptly but Ciara who was currently in a world of her own did not see or hear the door open or when that person came in. She was deep in her troubles and thoughts that she had already shut out all the external noise and only herself and her troubles exited at that time.

She might have said that she wasn’t hurt at all but was only angry, but now that she was thinking about it, that was just her being in denial. Those comments were really hurtful and traumatizing.
