Suspects: murder case

Chapter 68

I noticed she begun shivering but I didn't know if it was okay to care for her...

Well she didn't betray me, I am the one who forced what wasn't there...I know I shouldn't be mad but I was in love and that was killing me...

I rather be mad to a healthy girl than a sick helpless girl...

"Ciara, you should go and change...I don't want you to get sick again..." I whispered...

But as usual she was stubborn, "Jordan, I will not leave without you..We are husband and wife and we should always be together..." She stammered...

"Do you even know the meaning of the term wife??? Stop being stubborn!!!!" I shook my head...

"What do I have??? Nothing..I am so unlucky...All I am thinking about now is my career..If I leave you, I am ruined..." She hugged me and sobbed on my shoulder...I didn't want to show her I cared and so I just let her be...

After a while, I pulled her back and stood up, turned off the shower and reached out for some towels..

"Dry yourself...I don't want you dying in my bathroom..." I threw some towels at her..I expected her to shout at me for throwing towels at her but she just remained silent..

As I continued drying my hair infront of the mirror, I could help but stare at her...

She was so close yet out of my reach...She struggled to stand up but her legs were shaking...

She tried once more to stand up but couldn't...

I was in a dilemma to either help her or not...She betrayed my love, she was busy c*ressing my brother and here she is acting like she cares...

I looked away not to see her helplessness but my heart stated otherwise...

One moment I was avoiding to look at her and the next she was in my arms...

"The doctor said you should keep warm...Let me help you out..." I murmured not looking at her...

I didn't seem to feel, I wasn't excited that she was in my arms...I was mad, mad because she chose me and still loved another...

I helped her get out of her wet clothes and wear her pyjamas...She didn't talk or even smile...She just did what needed to be done...

"You can take the bed, I will take the sofa..." I retorted...

But why did I say that??? That was my bed and she was the one who was supposed to leave...

"No, sleep on your side and I will sleep on my side..." She said in a low tone...

I couldn't understand why she was calm all over sudden...Where was her b*tchy attitude that drove me crazy in a good way???

We both savoured into bed and looked at opposite sides...For once I felt coldness in my room, I could sense the sadness around us...

We were both unhappy and not ready to talk it out...

Just as I was about to shut my eyes, I heard her shivering...

I turned around to check on her and she was shaking like a leaf on a branch...

Touching her arms, she was icy cold...Suddenly my anger was replaced with worry...

I tried shaking her to wake up but nothing...I could have woken up granny but she would reprimand me for letting her sit under the cold water...The rest of the family probably hated her by now...

The only option was to wrap my arms around her...I held her so tight and within an hour she had begun getting warm..

I wanted to c*ress her, make love to her, show her how much she meant to me but everytime I thought about her and Jaxon I felt disgusted...

Everytime I tried to pull away, she held my hands tighter. The next morning when I woke up, I was alone in bed...

Where did she go??? Did she decide to leave with Jaxon???

Just as I was thinking about her, she walked in like a boss...

"I thought you decided to leave with your lover..." I blurted out and it seemed she didn't care...

"I am not coming home tonight....I bet we both need a break from each other..." she explained..

I acted like I didn't care but deep down I wanted to lock her up. What if she wanted to go on another vacation with Jaxon??? How could I trust her???

Jordan don't show her you care.. It's her business...

"I don't care, as far as I am concerned you are just my wife on paper..." I lashed out and got out of bed...

"And it's not like I wanted you to care.."

"Have you ever had s*x with Jaxon???" I don't know why I asked but I just did...

"Yes..." She replied boldly...

Before she could feel my wrath, she took her bagpack and left...

Now my mood was ruined, everything around me looked grey...I could feel sadness drain through me...Why did she have to sleep with him??? Could she not hold back??? Screw heavens, they would have made her wait for me.

That was the last stroll...She and Beatrice are one and the same thing...I am never going to forget what I had become...Love is madness, happiness is foolishness...

Anger and bitterness is what one needs to survive...

In the office, I felt like venting my anger on everything and everyone..

"Did I ask for coffee or mango juice???" I yelled at me personal assistant..

"Sir you don't take juice..." She replied and that angered me..

I hated being questioned...Yes I asked for coffee and changed my mind while she was away...She should read my mind...

"Take this tasteless thing away from me..." I splashed the coffee all over her blouse, threw her the cup and some money...

"I bet that enough to buy you an expensive dress..."

I could see tears in her eyes but I didn't care...The woman I learnt to love, betrayed me and didn't care and so I am going to make people's lives a nightmare...

"Tell the financial manager to come and if he takes more than a minute you are fired..." I threatened..
