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 that would 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 hit me,

“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 my smile quickly disappeared. Thinking about Jordan and his little surprise made me wonder what kind of man 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 with me. So I lay on the bed for a long uime till I started getting hungry and went to the door. The guards from the previous night had been standing by the door and the memories of what happened before I fell asleep came back to me in a strange way. I thought of how I had fallen asleep in the movie room and how I ended up sleeping in my bed. My cheeks heated up when I thought of Jordan and how he had acted the previous night, then his sudden chan was behaving so caring and loving and sweet. It was a nice thing to see and I had he would just remain that way and not return to the Jordan I met on the first day of being married to him. With the guards at my door, getting Margaret upstairs to give me my lunch was easier and faster and I had eaten a whole lot of it till I couldn’t eat anymore. I took a quick shower after and wanted to just go back and rest on the bed when Margaret told me of who was here in the mansion. At first, I thought she was joking so I ignored her. But she persisted and I saw the seriousness 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 to be there, she wasn’t supposed to be on the right-wing in the first place. I knew how Jordan could be when it came to his beautiful right wing and could clearly remember all the things he did to me because of 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 the right-wing with my heart beating inside my chest. I could only think of what Jordan could be doing to her. It was a wrong thought, of course, a terrible one at that but Jordan had hurt me before just because I was on the right-wing for a few minutes and I couldn’t help but imagine what he would be doing 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 something entirely 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 hands on 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 the exact 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 her scrutinizing gaze.

“And what about you? And mom and dad? How are they? How have you all been doing?” I quickly changed 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 buy one 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 as much 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, and tears clouded my eyes almost immediately. I missed them all so much and missed the life I had back then, 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 to have a good life, it just began days ago. My life was like a living hell and it was so bad, I couldn’t bear to even tell them about it. It was the sacrifice I had to pay for the good life they had and that was enough for me.

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

“Just hang in there” she whispered in my ears. And squeezed me tightly with her little hands like she could see through my pain and understand my deepest desires, concerns, and hurt. Then she pulled away 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 to meet 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 me understanding what Jordan was saying. But my heart was saddened and I could only wish that she could remain with me and not live as Jordan wanted. But I had to understand too and I smiled weakly too. 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 I could, 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 car without 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 about something I couldn’t hear. Yet, his face was in an emotionless expression and his eyes were looking at anywhere but me. It was strange, but I still needed to thank him for what he did for me. Whatever his intentions were for giving me such a surprise, I was happy and only just wanted to say a big thank you to him at least.

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