Remember to Forget

Chapter 4

Xavier

The weeks after my wedding, I had back to back meetings in different cities and to me that was perfect, i wouldn't have to see my so called wife.

But that didn't mean Mrs Noona didn't call me everyday telling me about what Jai Xia was doing.

And afert two weeks a would actually be waiting for hwr call every day.

I don't know when it started but I felt like I was being missed by someone back home.

I knew she was still in school and the fact that she was studying from hom made me a bit sad but also showed how much she respected the content of our marriage contract.

She even never left the house since she arrived.

She was really being the good wife.

Respecting her husband and his home and the rules.

I felt something wasn't right.

How can I ruin her life because of my own life problems.

So after tomorrow I will return home.

I will go home to my home and my wife.

The words in my mind set my heart on fire.

I started to actually accept that I had a wife, and that unfortunately she wasn't Bella.

That night I spent a lot of time thinking about her and the time we spent together.

How she could just go on without me.

Since she left she called maybe twice.

And both times she was drunk.

Like thats the only time she actually remembers me.

I got off at the airport and found Sam my driver already waiting.

We got in and went to the office.

I dropped off all the documents from all my meetings and than left to go home.

Sam was going to drop me off but I decided to go home myself.

As I drove i decided to stop to buy some food for the house so Mrs Noona could cook for me and my wife.

The word wife was becoming my favorite word.

Not even 2 months and already she "Jai Xia" was now my wife in my mind.

I stopped at home.

When I arrived I took a deep breath than went inside.

Its completely quiet.

Like no one was home.

I than saw Some notes on the floor by the sofa.

Its school work.

She must have been sitting here when I was not home.

Noona came and gave me a big smile

She took the plastic and went to the kitchen.

I sat in the kitchen and we made small talk.

She told me how My Wife literally ran up to her room when she saw my car.

I was surprised.

But also sad.

Did she hate me already?

As if Noona read my mind she said.

"She doesn't hate you, she is just a little confused about how to act when u are home, go talk to her she must be studying in her room."

I smiled in relief.

Noona practically raised me.

She took my mother's place that year.

My mother had a brain tumor that led to her death when i was still in middle school.

And Noona was her care taker atthe hospital so when she died she made Noona promise her she would look after me.

And that was exactly what Noona did.

She left her family in the village and moved here to my home. After my mother died my father became depressed and soon left the country and when he came back I was already in college.

So you can see why we don't see eye to eye.

Bella was the only girl I truly knew.

We grew up together and she was by my side through all my mothers sickness and her death.

We naturally become lovers and that was the only thing I knew.

I walked uo the stairs and past my bedroom.

As i was about to open the door my Phone vibration stopped me.

I looked at the caller ID.

BELLA.

I took the phone and went to my room.

"Hey... Bella... Whats up!"

I answered the call.

"You haven't called in two months, have you already forgotten me... Like is your new wife so much..."

I don't let her finish.

"Bella i wasn't even home for two months, so not its got nothing to do with my wife..."

She started crying.

"Bella baby, what's wrong... Are you okay!!?"

She just sob and said.

"I just miss you so much... Can you come here or maybe send me a ticket to come to you... Please Xavier?"

I don't know what to say.

"Bella, I don't know, let me see maybe I will come on the weekend okay... I..."

She cut the call.

What the hell was wrong with her.

I was about to get angry then she sent me a picture.

She was blowing me kisses her eyes was red. She was definitely crying.

"Thanks babe, can't wait to see you"

I was guna be angry but the thought of seeing her made me smile.

I really missed her.

I changed my clothes than as if I forgot something I heard the faint sounds from Jai Xia room.

I did forget why I came up.

Damit.

I walked to her room and walked in slowly.

She was sitting on the floor her books all scattered around her.

She was busy with math and she was really no good at it.

I watched her erase the equation 3-4time before i jumped in.

She locked eyes with me and I almost lost my composure.

She was even more beautiful than two months back, if thats even possible.

I was about to leave when she said she was happy I was home... Or back to my home...

She looked pretty cute all flustered.

So I smiled and sat next to her.

Her Lilly scent washed over me and my heart raced once again.

I can get used to that smile, her scent and her...

I was explaining the rules to jer and ever so often her top would move down her shoulders exposing her chest.

I had to calm my mind every time.

If I could just...

When I was just thinking aboit touching her bare arms to pull up her to to cover her chest Noona walks in.

She smiled as if she caught me doing something wrong.

She invited us down for supper.

As we reached the table a turned around see see Jai Xia was no longer behind me.

Than I suddenly remembered the contract.

She wasn't allowed to dine with me if we were alone.

I suddenly felt upset.

The dam contract was really giving me and her a hard time.

Maybe thats why Bella made sure we made this agreement.

She was scared of what was happening right now.

Noona was also surprised but I just sat down and ate my dinner.

The food was great but I didn't enjoy it when I knew Jai Xia wasn't here.

After supper I waited till past ten to see if she was coming but she never came down.

I knew she must be waiting for me to return to my room.

So I went up and as I closed my door I heard her door open, she was walking so softly I could barely hear her pass my room.

And not even 10 minutes later her door room closed again.

Did she eat her food cold?

I felt sick to my stomach thinking about the effect this marriage id having on her.

She spends days alone, nights alone, eats alone, and doesn't ever leave the house, and when I am home she walks on egg shells.

As I lay in my bed I made a decision to allow her to go home when I leave for England this weekend.

She needs to get out.

With that i fell asleep.
