Get Me Married
Chapter 50: Going into details Her eyes widened at my pronouncement and she opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. I turned back to the house angrily and made my way back to my studies.
Samantha was slowly getting on my nerves and what was worse was the feeling of not knowing the woman I fell in love with before now.
As a kid, she was always around me, always so close, and we attended the same school together. That was till I started crushing on her, she was beautiful and any guy would have understood why I crushed on her back then. But she wasnât only beautiful, she was kind, sweet, and caring. Always involved in humanitarian activities in school and always goes out of her way to save others.
I remembered that one time, I was coming out of the cafeteria when I noticed how the crowds were gathered in a place and went closer to them. A bully had shredded a girlâs cloth till she was almost naked and pictures were being taken of her. They laughed at her and called her so many names, it pissed me off to see how they could treat someone else and I had taken off my jacket to cover her. But before I could get to the girl, Sam had gotten to her and had covered her with a white sheet.
âYou will be fineâ¦â She had said to the girl who was shaking in fright. Then she turned to the people taking pictures and glared at all of them.
âThe first person who would post a picture of her would have to pay tuition thrice, donât dare meâ she warned them and they all knew how much her words had volume. They knew she was speaking the truth, she had the power, her father had money and influence.
I remembered how she always went to social services, and always visited the orphanage. She would always give and was always kind to people, she could never hurt a fly yet his Samantha had changed so much. Samantha he knew would never think of kidnapping someone and covering up and would not say those things she said outside.
Her new behavior wasnât only different but it hurt me, it hurt me so much that my Samantha was like a stranger to me.
I walked into my studies and the thoughts of Samantha immediately washed away from my mind.
âAva⦠noâ I warned immediately my eyes set on Ava who was playing with my computer.
âDonât touch that, I work with thisâ I added and walked deeper into his studies. Ava smiled sheepishly at me and stood up from where she had sat behind my desk.
âWhat were you even doing?â I asked and check in the monitor, I couldnât be so sure she hadnât tampered with what I was doing.
âPlaying bossâ she replied and I turned back to her. I chuckled at her statement and shook my head before I turned back to the monitor.
âI didnât change anything reallyâ she ended and I quickly confirmed that she didnât change anything before I sat down. I turned back to my work and Ava sat at one of the seats opposite mines.
She was still looking at me with a mischievous smile on her face. And I couldnât help but stare at her suspiciously, unsure of why she looked so mischievous. Something told me not to trust her at all. I turned back to my work and continued with what I was doing before I left to check on Genesis.
Al first, it was so peaceful, you wouldnât know that Ava was sitting just right next to me. I never knew that she could be so quiet but she was and I was really happy that she allowed me to work peacefully.
My happiness was cut short after a short time and Ava suddenly leaned closer to the table and started tapping her fingers on top of her desk. I groaned and raised my head slowly from what I was doing and turned to her. She was waiting for me with her eyes strongly staring at me. The moment my eyes met hers, she smiled again with that mischievousness in her eyes.
âWho is that lady I met outside?â She suddenly asked and I frowned.
âWhy are you so interested in knowing who she is?â I replied and went back to what I was doing.
âBecause I am family now, and family should know each other, right?â
âRightâ I replied begrudgingly and hoped she would stop asking me questions that pertained to Samantha.
âSo she is family?â She asked again and I raised my head to meet her eyes.
âSort of,â I said, trying my best to remain neutral. I didnât want to lie to her neither did I want to tell her the complete truth.
âSort of is not an answer you knowâ she rolled her eyes. I sighed heavily at how inquisitive she suddenly became and wished Genesis could wake up already. If she continued with her inquisitive questions then I wouldnât be able to work.
âWhy are you so interested anyway?â I said dryly.
âBecause she acted exactly like your momâ she replied and I raised my brows at her.
âAnd how does my mom act?â
âLike she owns the world,â she said and made a face that made me chuckle loudly.
If that was the case, then she knew my mother very well, that I was sure of.
âBut your mom is nice, thatâs when she wants to be but the lady outside isnâtâ she added with a frown.
She wasnât going to change the topic, she wanted to know about Samantha and I was left with the option to change the direction of the discussion.
âDoes my mom act nice?â I asked and she smiled.
âMaâam Leona acts nice, she can be scary sometimes but sheâs niceâ she replied and I wondered how she knew that. My mother was a pain in my butt but I knew that she was also a nice woman, she was my mom after all. But to the others, she was a woman who acted like she owned the world, because she owned everything. But not everyone knew how nice she was, like the staff, reporters, and a lot more. She was always very strict, disciplined and scary all the time. Yet little Ava knew that my mother, Leona Chase is actually a nice woman.
âHow did you get to know that she was nice?â
âAt the hospital,â she said and relaxed into her chair.
âWhat hospital?â I asked really confused.
âThe hospital where my operation took placeâ she said and sighed. I stared at her feeling confused. It felt like I missed a part of my life so suddenly.
âWhat operation?â I asked and she frowned.
âYou should know about this, Genesis is your wife andâ¦â She paused and stared at me suspiciously.
âYes, she is my wife butâ¦â
âYou have no idea about what happened, do you?â She suddenly yelled and I sighed.
âI donât know everythingâ¦â
âBut you should, my sister is your wifeâ¦â she snapped outrageously, her sweet voice disappearing into that of an angry teenager.
âYes, she is my wife â¦..â
âYou should know the details that led to your marriage to herâ she added and it was my turn to get angry.
Of course, I know the details that led to my marriage to your sister. They had all connived to trick me into marrying their daughter while she pretended to be Samantha who I was supposed to get married to.
Ava stared at me angrily and I tried my best not to lose my temper in front of her.
âAre you good to my sister?â She suddenly asked and my heart suddenly dropped in disappointment and guilt.
âAnswer meâ.
âYou are not saying anythingâ she added and I sighed. I knew that I was not good to her sister, I had never been good to her from the beginning, in my heart I knew it and I had a reason behind my hate towards her. But I was trying to be good to her, just to make up for what Samantha did.
âI canât believe you are not good to herâ she suddenly started crying and I turned back to her.
âAvaâ¦â
âHow can you not be good to her. She sacrificed her life and everything for this marriageâ she banged her hands against the desk and kept crying even more. I sighed in frustration and thought about calling Margaret to take her away before I regret why I had to bring her to see Genesisâ¦
âAva.*e on, donât cry,â I said and got up from where I sat down and made my way towards her. Then I relaxed against my desk and stared at the little girl who was seriously crying.
âDid you hurt her?â She asked while wiping away her tears.
âIf you did, then tell me. I will tell her to leave, we can leave togetherâ
âAvaâ¦â
âI will tell her, we will leave and will both find some other medium to pay back the money we owe your motherâ she cried even more and I stood there frozen while staring at her.
I got down from where I had sat and made my way to the chair next to her and sat downâ¦
âWhat money?â I asked with all seriousness and she glared at me. She said nothing and looked away from me while she folded her arms across her chest. I sighed heavily and moved even closer to her.
âAvaâ¦â
âI am trying my possible best to be a good husband to your sister, thatâs why I brought you hereâ
âSo please, tell me all the things I donât knowâ I pleaded and her face softened. Then she turned to me and dropped her hands from her chest.
âI needed a kidney transplant some couple of months ago. My kidney had been failing for such a long time, but Genesis had told me that she would get me a new kidney once she graduates and get a jobâ
she started and my heart dropped at the thought of such an energic person being in such a state.
âYour mother had picked me up and paid for a new kidney and a transplant because we didnât have any money for that yet. And Genesis had just graduated, she was actually in the same hospital as me because she had fallen ill after graduation and none of us knew about thatâ
âMaâam Leona found out about Genesis, she paid her hospital bills and mine, also got me a kidneyâ¦
But in exchange for what she did for us, my sister had to marry her sonâ she paused and everything suddenly started kicking in.
âMy sister refused at first, she was so angry that she declined at the instance but your mom was very persuasive. We knew how big my hospital bills were, we couldnât even afford to feed properly not to talk about paying such amountâ
âBut She agreed to marry me to pay the debtsâ I concluded for her with my heart in my throat.
âYes she hated the idea but slowly started buying the idea when she started speaking with youâ
âThatâs what I have been thanking you for all day. My sister sacrificed her dreams to save us all, but your mother saved my lifeâ
