Get Me Married
Chapter 33: Her well being I stared at the figure in front of me while different thoughts ran through my head, thoughts relating as to why he was here, in my room at such ungodly hour.
âNightmare?â He asked and I sighed and gave him a nod.
âWhat are you doing here?â I asked and his brows knitted at me in the dark, then he went quiet.
âI think you should leave alreadyâ I added when he said nothing. He was a man and not the friendly kind of man a woman should have as a husband at that point. I had all right to be scared that he was right in my room.
âI donât know why I am hereâ he suddenly said and I went mute and I stared at him.
âBut right now I want to be sure you are okayâ he added and I narrowed my eyes at him.
I didnât understand what was going on with him and why he was acting so strange. The Jordan I knew would never act the way he was acting and though it was heartwarming to know he could be caring, it also scared me.
âI am fine reallyâ I said to him and he gave me a nod.
âGo back to sleep thenâ he said and I shook my head.
âI canâtâ I simply said.
âWhy?â He asked.
âI am scared of what I dream about when I close my eyesâ I opened up to him.
He narrowed his eyes at me for a while before he said anything else.
âYou are scared no one would save you and thatâs why they donât. Take that thought off your mind and just sleepâ he said and a little smile crept to the side of my lips. If Jordan was really so caring, I loved seeing it.
âI have tried that. It never works andâ¦â¦.â
âShhhhhhâ¦â¦just do what I sayâ he shushed me. I sighed and found myself going back to bed. I covered myself with my duvet and shut my eyes tight.
âI am right here, no one is going to hurt youâ he said and I smiled again and for some reasons I trusted his words and slowly went back to sleep.
âDo you think Sam really kidnapped you?â I heard him ask from my subconscious.
âYesâ¦I am sure she didâ I replied him.
This time my dream became worse and different.
âI was in a cell with mice and more insects and my hands were tied to something. My gown was torn and dirty like I had been there for a long time and I would yank on the rope so I could get free but each time I did that, I ended up hurting myself. It would hurt so badly, I would cry and scream for help and no one would come. I walked around the cell, the rope was a lengthy one and occasionally I would hit my hands against the bars of the cell just so someone could hear me and help me get free.
Then the door of the cell opened and that same sets of teeth that grinned at me when I was kidnapped, the one that wanted to devour me, the same person I shot in order to escape came into the cell and my heart skipped. I shook my head violently at the impossibility of it but he just smiled at me.
âItâs your lucky day damselâ he said and started taking off his clothes. My heart beat increased as I stared at him and the knowledge of what would happen next came back to me.
âWhatâ¦what are you doing?â I stuttered with fear and moved away from him to the furthest part of the cell. He said nothing till he was done taking off his shirt. Then he smirked at me and came towards the end part of the cell that I stood.
âNo no⦠pleaseâ I pleaded and tried moving away from there but he held my rope and pulled it so hard that I fell. He came on me before I could get up and tore what was left of the gown that I was putting on.
I screamed and tears came pouring down my cheeks as I started pleading none stop but he didnât listen, he never listens. He paid attention to making sure I was stark naked in front of him and when he succeeded. He stared at my body with so much lust and licked his lower lips like a predator about to fist on his kill. He came on me and held my hands above my head while he patted my legs roughly. I felt his huge hardness between my thighs and didnât stop pleading and crying for him to let me go but he still refused to listen. Suddenly I felt pressure that hurt me more than words could explain at the entrance of my vaginal. He was trying to break in and I screamed in agonizing painâ¦â¦..
I screamed and felt someone hold me against himself.
âShhhh, nothing happenedâ My body was pressed against Jordanâs and I trembled in his arms while he held me protectively. His strong cologne overwhelmed me and I held him so tight like he was the only one who could save me from the hands of that beast that always found a way to torment me every night.
âIt was just a dream, just a dreamâ he said and ran his hands through my hair soothingly. I cried and shook violently in his arms. The dream felt so real and gave me more reasons not to go to bed.
âHe doesnâtâ¦.. doesnââ¦. Stop huntingâ¦..me. He wants me⦠in a very dangerousâ¦..dangerous wayâ I stuttered amidst tears.
âShhhhâ he pressed me tighter against him.
âDonât⦠let him Jordapâ¦. I will die if he succeedsâ I cried bitterly.
âI wonât ..I wonât.. I promiseâ he said He held me till I stopped shaking and stopped crying. Then I pulled away and sniffed, I raised my head and stared at him for a while. For the second time, I could see an emotion in his face and they were of absolute care.
âAre you alright?â He asked and I gave him a nod. He wiped away my tears and made me lie back on my bed. Not because I was sleepy or because I planned on closing my eyes, like ever again but because I was exhausted and my back was hurting.
I raised the duvet to my chest and stared at him gratefully.
âWho exactly do you always see in your dreams?â He suddenly asked.
âI donât know his name but he was the head of the gang. I shot him before I escapedâ I said to him with tired voice and he jammed his lips together and a frown crept to his face.
âI am sorryâ he said and I smiled at him, not knowing what to say. I couldnât say it wasnât his fault because it was solely his fault for bringing a woman into our home. But right in that room, I saw a different Jordan in my room. I remained quiet and he didnât stop staring at me. Silence descended and I could tell it was morning already but he remained seated at the side of my bed like he had not noticed that he had not slept all night.
âYou have been here all night, you can actually go to bedâ I said to him but he said nothing.
I turned to my side and a yawn escaped my mouth. I suddenly felt warm hands against mine and turned to Jordan. He looked away and stared at absolutely nothing but his hands held mine so tightly, in a reassuring way, telling me it was fine to sleep.
âI am not leavingâ were his exact words.
Though I knew it wasnât fine to sleep, my body needed it and gave in a matter of minutes.
I felt like something left me all of a sudden and my hands suddenly grew cold. No matter how much I tried to go back to sleep, I found myself getting more aware of my environment.
âShhhh, you woke her upâ I heard the maids nag at each other and opened my eyes.
âRise and shine maâ two maid chorused and I smiled at them and sat up on the bed. Then I yawned and stretched with a warm smile on my face. The day was bright and the sun ray from my window said a lot of things.
âWhat time is it?â I asked them and got up to ease my bladder.
âItâs twelve noon maâamâ one replied and my eyes widened.
I came out of the bathroom and my stomach rumbled signalling me that it was time to eat. I quickly had my bath and wore something simple till my eyes rested on the part of the bed I clearly remembered Jordan was sitting on. My cheeks heated up and I smiled at the thought of having him be so caring. But I waved it off and literally ran downstairs. I was super hungry.
When I came down the stairs, with the same maids that were in my room closely behind me. My eyes looked around and I smiled at all the maids at the way they greeted me with enthusiasm, it was always nice having them around.
âI asked you not to disturb herâ Jordanâs voice said coldly and my head snapped to the dinning table as I wondered what he was talking about.
âSir.. she wasâ¦we didnâtâ the maids behind me stuttered, I stared at him and back at the maids to understand what was going on. He glared at the maids behind me and my heart fluttered at the intensity of his gaze. Everywhere went completely still and quiet as all attention turned to us. I could feel the fear the maids behind me suddenly had and I had to step in.
âWhat is going on?â I asked hoping some one would answer me.
âThe master asked that you shouldnât be disturbedâ Margaret said fearfully. I turned to Jordan and he looked away like he said absolutely nothing. I gaped at him with surprise, Jordan Chase cared for me.
He didnât just care but he showed it in the weirdest of ways.
âThey didnât wake me upâ I said trying to savage the situation.
âDonât lie just to protect them, I left your room few minutes agoâ he said and my mouth dropped.
My heart fluttered at the knowledge of knowing he was right there with me as he had promised he would. I slept with his hands on mine and I suddenly realized that I didnât have any more nightmares. I smiled at the thought of having him watch over me as he promised. Then I remembered why I had to wake up, my hands suddenly felt cold and I guessed it was when he left.
âI am not lying. I woke up the moment I noticed you leftâ I said and his eyes snapped at me. But they werenât cold or harsh, it was different.
âDid you sleep well?â He asked and I smiled and gave him a nod.
I went back to my studies and stared into space. I tried to think of the reason why I had gone to her room the previous night but I couldnât remember.
I got so lost in staring at her that I forgot I had issues of my own. When I saw her jerk from her sleep and started panting. Then I realized that she was really in trouble if she couldnât sleep. It was all because of her kidnap and each time I remembered the way she screamed from her sleep, I got angry all over again.
I picked up my phone and dialled Nateâs number.
âHeyâ¦you seem to need me a lot this daysâ he said in that funny way of his that never ever seems to make me laugh.
âI need a private investigatorâ I said and he went quiet.
âFor what?â He asked.
âTo help apprehend my wifeâs kidnappersâ I groaned into the phone.
âOhh. I thoughtâ¦.. nevermindâ he said.
âJust get the best investigator you can get. I need those bastards apprehendedâ I said and he remained quiet.
âWhy are you so interested in getting the kidnappersâ he asked. I remained quiet and just wanted to hang up on him but I and Nate were too close for such.
âShe canât seem to sleep because of what those bastards made her go through. She literally screams and cry because of the nightmares she hasâ¦it hurts mâ¦â¦â¦â I paused at the last sentence and heard Nate chuckle over the phone.
âYou might kill them if you see themâ he teased and that was my cue to hang up.
The moment I hung up, my mom called and I picked it up.
âI canât believe you let Samantha goâ she started and my chest tightened.
âAre you going to let her go then, I mean they kidnapped your wifeâ she yelled.
âJordanâ¦â She called out loud when I didnât say anything.
âDo you realized what she is going throughâ she yelled again.
âI know, I know what she is going through and I am going to get the master mind behind this. Now quit bothering me about it alreadyâ I yelled back and she went quiet.
âWhat is wrong?â She asked and I sighed and placed my hands on my head.
âEverything. I donât know what to believe or what to not believe anymoreâ I opened up to her for the first time in ages.
âEvery man is born with a heart for a purpose. You have instinct, you can see and hear. What you believe is totally up to you sonâ she said.
âMore events are coming up. You have missed a few already, would you be able to make it to the next?â She asked and I appreciated the fact that she didnât push further like she knew exactly why and how I would react.
âYes I thinkâ I replied.
âWith Genesis???â She asked and I thought about it for a moment.
âNoâ I replied.
âWhy? She is your wifeâ¦.you canât justâ¦..â
âShe is not fit for such things mom, she needs rest and a lot more than that, I canât let her go with me to such events that requires so much formalitiesâ I interrupted her.
âOhhhh, wowâ¦thatâs okayâ she said and I relaxed. Somehow, I found myself being worried about her and her well being after what I saw the previous night.
