Attitude meets Arrogance - Episode 47

 

Jordan's POV
I was falling for this girl, harder than I ever imagined....
I was supposed to be mad at her but here I am thinking about her....

Her image flashed in my mind making me smile like a fool... Absentmindedly I found myself feeling my ring...

It's barely an year and she feels that this marriage won't work...I expected her to fight harder, I don't want her to give up on us because she is my addiction...

No matter how much I try to hate her, I fall for her more...I have fallen in love with this woman...I don't know what will be come of me if she ever leaves....

Remembering her confession earlier made my bones shatter, I couldn't control the tears dropping from my face...

I wanted to disappear, get away from all of this but that was only possible in my dreams...

How was I to mind my business when she has become my business??? I felt bad remembering the look on her face when I called her a gold digger...

I crossed the limits but couldn't help it.. Was it hard for her to abstain not sleeping with my brother??? Could she have not waited for me????

"Sir, Mr Kebira wants to see you???" The PA barged into my office again dragging me from my thoughts...Where are her manners???

"Can't you knock????" I thundered...

"Sir are you crying???? You know...."

"I see you are beginning to poke your nose where it doesn't belong . Do you want to get fired???"

"No sir..." She shook her head, "Shall I let him in???"

"Does he have an appointment????" I asked in a tone full of arrogance..

"No sir, I thought...."

"You thought nothing...Get out of my office before I slap sanity in that empty round thing you call a head..."

"Yes sir...."

I had three very important meetings that day but all I could think about was Ciara...Let me hate you, let me learn to despise you..

Why after everything you have done, I love you more??? No one ever chose me but you did...I know I should be grateful but am mad...

Another man was inside my woman, how was I to recover from that???

I tiredly walked into the mansion as I loosened my tie around my neck...

I walked to the living room and everyone was there apart from Jaxon and Ciara..
"Where are the rest???" I yawned as I rubbed my neck...

"By rest you mean your wife and her boyfriend right???" Chloe asked...
"Chloe not now, can't you see how tired he is???" Mason reprimanded her.  How are we ever going to learn to control his woman if he can't do it himself...

"It's okay Mason...So where are they???"

"My Ciara is in your room and Jaxon I haven't seen him since this afternoon and he is not picking his phone..." Granny explained...

I was worried about Jaxon but having him away from the house for a night wouldn't hurt...

I got into our room and it was silent...
Granny lied to me, she ran away with him...She betrayed me once more, what happened to the I chose you speech???

"Ciara???" I called out looking for her everywhere and there she was sleeping peacefully in the bathtub with a glass of red wine in her hand...

I tiptoed towards her and squatted infront of her...I stared at her face, c*ressing her face...

She was truly beautiful...

"Ciara, my love..." I touched her lips, "I want to kiss you so bad but I am afraid I wouldn't stop.."

I drew closer and closer to her when she woke up and I felt froze at the moment looking away...

"Get out of the bathtub, I want to have a bubble bath..." I ordered...

"Turn around so that I can wrap myself with a towel..." She said calmly...

"Do you know how expensive that bathtub is??? First have you ever even being inside a bathtub???"

"Don't worry Mr Marcias, I will never use your bathtub again..."

She wasnt the challenging Ciara anymore...She seemed hurt and calm...Her eyes were also red which is evident she has been crying for quite sometime now...

I  turned around so as she can wrap a towel around herself...

The floor seemed slippery from the water which I bet splashed from the bathtub but how do I tell her to be careful when I said we both mind our businesses...

She is a smart girl, she will figure that out...

Just at that moment I heard her scream, I twirled around to face her and automatically she wrapped her hands around my neck and I tightly held her waist...

We stared both into each other's eyes that I felt all my worries and anger been blown away...It felt home in her eyes...

Jordan it's a scam don't fall for it...

I looked away and realised the towel was loose so I shut tight my eyes...

"Next time learn to see a slippery floor..." I dropped her softly on the floor and left...

"Did I do the right thing???" I asked myself the moment I sat on the bed...
"I should have carried her, why did I have to drop her on the floor???" I scratched my head furiously....

She took a while in the bathroom that I got scared...Just as I was going to check up on her, she came out...

"I wondered what was keeping in you there...I was coming to throw you out..." I retorted...

"You can have the bathroom to yourself now Mr..."

"And there is alot of bathrobes in the bathroom, wouldn't you have worn any of them???" I questioned...

Does she know how crazy i felt seeing her in a towel or how little Jordan was ready to stand at attention at the mere thought of seeing her beautiful body???

"Okay..." She walked past me and into the closet...

I was restless...She had taken almost thirty minutes in there..

She is a crazy girl, maybe she was cutting my expensive suits into pieces or maybe she is dead...

Again I went to look on her and just as I reached for the closet knob, she came out...

"Do you also want to use the closet???" She asked and I felt embarrassed...

Why was I acting so childishly???

"I am going to sleep with Sophie tonight...I don't want you to kick me out of our own bed..." She took one of the pillows and begun walking towards the door when I grabbed her arm...

"Please stay...." I pleaded unknowingly...On realisation of what I had done, I dropped her hand...

"What did you say????" She asked as she stared me with wide eyes...

"I meant this...What will people say especially the maids?? That I threw my wife out of our room...I won't let you leave here..." I folded my arms on my chest...

"I don't understand you

. I thought you said that I am only your wife on paper..." She hugged the pillow she was holding...

"Yes and wives sleep beside their husbands..." I stammered..

"Jordan no one is watching, I will just go secretly to Sophie's room..." She assured but didn't wanna hear it...

"Why can't you join the dots??? I am mad because I expected you not to sleep with him. How do you think I feel knowing my brother has been inside you???" I snapped and she just looked at me expressionlessly..

"I don't want to argue with you right now..."

"Yes we will talk about this..." I grabbed the pillow from her and hit it on the wall, "Yes we will talk about it right now..You said this marriage won't work..Are you ready to fight for it??? No...What do you want???"

"Jordan I don't want to talk about this..."

"Yes you will..." I grabbed her arms, "Because I am dying inside..Do you think I want to be like this??? I don't...I am falling for you and I hate it..You don't deserve me..."

I was losing my grip...I couldn't bottle it in..I wanted her to know what I was going through..

"Because of you I had a fight with my brother, because of you my brother hates me. Tell me do you think you deserve any of the Marcias brothers???" I pushed her and she fell on the floor.

I heard her groan in pain and didn't want to look at her...I was mad, mad at everything...Mad that I loved the way she smiled, her fruity smell, her weird looking hair..I loved it all..

I tried to resist her sobbing but I couldn't...
I looked at her lying helplessly on the floor with a bleeding elbow...

"Are you okay???" I asked worriedly as I took hold of her arm...

She pulled her arm away, "You said we should mind our own business...And yes you were right, you two brothers don't deserve me. If i would go back in time, I would never have to meet you..My mistake was falling in love with a jerk and marrying an a**hole..You said I am a wife on your paper right??? I will start acting like a wife on the paper..." She cussed out and stood from the floor...

She wiped the tears from her cheek with her finger and showed it to me," This is the last time I will ever shed tears because of the Marcias brothers..I am not a ball you kick around..."

She took the pillow from the floor and limped out of the room..
I wanted to call out to her but words were stuck on my throat..

Congratulations Jordan, you have succeeded in pushing Ciara away from you..

You wanted her to be a wife on paper and now your wish has come true..

But why am I sad??? She should have fought harder for us, She should have made me understand to why she did it but she will always be that typical crazy mud girl...

The girl full of attitude....

I didn't even feel like changing into my pyjamas..I just slumped on the bed like that when Emma called me...

Should I pick or not??? No, she will just rub salt in my wound...

After she hanged up, Clara called.. I would have answered but I couldn't stand her fake accent..

The room seemed lonely, it was a disprovable feeling and I hated it...

I felt like going for Ciara in Sophie's room and grabbing her by the hair back here...
But that would have made everything worse...

A/N Guys how was the chapter????
