Get Me Married

Chapter 33

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.

“Nightmare?” He asked and I sighed and gave him a nod.

“What are you doing here?” I asked and his brows knitted at me in the dark, then he went quiet.

“I think you should leave already” 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.

“I don’t know why I am here” he suddenly said and I went mute and I stared at him.

“But right now I want to be sure you are okay” he added and I narrowed my eyes at him.

I didn’t 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.

“I am fine really” I said to him and he gave me a nod.

“Go back to sleep then” he said and I shook my head.

“I can’t” I simply said.

“Why?” He asked.

“I am scared of what I dream about when I close my eyes” I opened up to him.

He narrowed his eyes at me for a while before he said anything else.

“You are scared no one would save you and that’s why they don’t. Take that thought off your mind and just sleep” he said and a little smile crept to the side of my lips. If Jordan was really so

caring, I loved seeing it.

“I have tried that. It never works and…….”

“Shhhhhh……just do what I say” he shushed me. I sighed and found myself going back to bed. I covered myself with my duvet and shut my eyes tight.

“I am right here, no one is going to hurt you” he said and I smiled again and for some reasons I trusted his words and slowly went back to sleep.

“Do you think Sam really kidnapped you?” I heard him ask from my subconscious.

“Yes…I am sure she did” I replied him.

This time my dream became worse and different.

“I 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.

“It’s your lucky day damsel” 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.

“What…what are you doing?” 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.

“No no… please” 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 pain……..

I screamed and felt someone hold me against himself.

“Shhhh, nothing happened” My body was pressed against Jordan’s 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.

“It was just a dream, just a dream” 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.

“He doesn’t….. doesn’…. Stop hunting…..me. He wants me… in a very dangerous…..dangerous way” I stuttered amidst tears.

“Shhhh” he pressed me tighter against him.

“Don’t… let him Jordap…. I will die if he succeeds” I cried bitterly.

“I won’t ..I won’t.. I promise” 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.

“Are you alright?” 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.

“Who exactly do you always see in your dreams?” He suddenly asked.

“I don’t know his name but he was the head of the gang. I shot him before I escaped” I said to him with tired voice and he jammed his lips together and a frown crept to his face.

“I am sorry” he said and I smiled at him, not knowing what to say. I couldn’t say it wasn’t 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 didn’t 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.

“You have been here all night, you can actually go to bed” 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.

“I am not leaving” were his exact words.

Though I knew it wasn’t 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.

“Shhhh, you woke her up” I heard the maids nag at each other and opened my eyes. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Rise and shine ma” 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.

“What time is it?” I asked them and got up to ease my bladder.

“It’s twelve noon ma’am” 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.

“I asked you not to disturb her” Jordan’s voice said coldly and my head snapped to the dinning table as I wondered what he was talking about.

“Sir.. she was…we didn’t” 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.

“What is going on?” I asked hoping some one would answer me.

“The master asked that you shouldn’t be disturbed” 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 didn’t just care but he showed it in the weirdest of ways.

“They didn’t wake me up” I said trying to savage the situation.

“Don’t lie just to protect them, I left your room few minutes ago” 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 didn’t 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.

“I am not lying. I woke up the moment I noticed you left” I said and his eyes snapped at me. But they weren’t cold or harsh, it was different.

“Did you sleep well?” 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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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 Nate’s number.

“Hey…you seem to need me a lot this days” he said in that funny way of his that never ever seems to make me laugh.

“I need a private investigator” I said and he went quiet.

“For what?” He asked.

“To help apprehend my wife’s kidnappers” I groaned into the phone.

“Ohh. I thought….. nevermind” he said.

“Just get the best investigator you can get. I need those bastards apprehended” I said and he remained quiet.

“Why are you so interested in getting the kidnappers” he asked. I remained quiet and just wanted to hang up on him but I and Nate were too close for such.

“She can’t seem to sleep because of what those bastards made her go through. She literally screams and cry because of the nightmares she has…it hurts m………” I paused at the last sentence and heard Nate chuckle over the phone.

“You might kill them if you see them” he teased and that was my cue to hang up.

The moment I hung up, my mom called and I picked it up.

“I can’t believe you let Samantha go” she started and my chest tightened.

“Are you going to let her go then, I mean they kidnapped your wife” she yelled.

“Jordan…” She called out loud when I didn’t say anything.

“Do you realized what she is going through” she yelled again.

“I 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 already” I yelled back and she went quiet.

“What is wrong?” She asked and I sighed and placed my hands on my head.

“Everything. I don’t know what to believe or what to not believe anymore” I opened up to her for the first time in ages.

“Every 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 son” she said.

“More events are coming up. You have missed a few already, would you be able to make it to the next?” She asked and I appreciated the fact that she didn’t push further like she knew exactly why and how I would react.

“Yes I think” I replied.

“With Genesis???” She asked and I thought about it for a moment.

“No” I replied.

“Why? She is your wife….you can’t just…..”

“She is not fit for such things mom, she needs rest and a lot more than that, I can’t let her go with me to such events that requires so much formalities” I interrupted her.

“Ohhhh, wow…that’s okay” she said and I relaxed. Somehow, I found myself being worried about her and her well being after what I saw the previous night.
