Suspects: murder case

Chapter 67

He took steps back and looked away..

"There is an extra blanket in the closet...I will sleep on the bed and you on the couch..."

"I don't think that I want even to be in this room. Just have fun, it all yours..."

I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room when I bumped in Chloe and Sophie...

"Tell me it's not true???" Sophie asked jumping up and down excitedly...

"It's not true..." I replied dryly..

My day couldn't get any worse...I had to bump into the girls that I can't stand outside Jordan's room. One is a spoilt brat the other is the cousin to the devil...

"C'mon you are pulling my leg..." Sophie slapped my arm... Does she think we are buddies..

"I am not even holding your leg..."

"Stop it sister-in-law. I heard you are now Jordan's wife. I always thought you and Jaxon were a thing." She chuckled and I just looked at her expressionless.

"I didn't know you would choose the grumpy one.." She whispered and I rolled my eyes away..

"Sophie, I need to go. Can I?????" She nodded paving way for me.. All along when Sophie was talking to me, Chloe was looking at me with murderous eyes...

When I walked past her, I winked just to get on her nerves...

My first stop was at the kitchen where I found Jaxon singing making a milk shake..

"Hey????"

"Hey..." He answered not even looking at me..

"The milkshake looks good..." I tried to start a conversation with him.

"I make good milkshakes."

"Can I have some???" I asked walking to where he was standing... When I saw him shirtless in an apron, I felt like I was floating in the air like midnight smoke...Every passing day, I was falling more and more in love with him..

"You got married today. Shouldn't you be beside your husband???" The issue I was trying to avoid, he just slapped it on my face.

"He is tired and I am thirsty..."

"He also makes good milkshakes..."

I felt like he was been sarcastic...

"Jaxon," I turned him around to face me," We will be living in the same house. Can we atleast act normal???"

"I am normal." He forced a smile, served the milkshake in two glasses and gave me one..

"Thank you.." I sipped, "Wow, it's very sweet..."

He smiled and walked past me but I held his wrist, "Don't leave, I need a hug right now..."

He just stood there silent.

"Jaxon I want to be in those arms so bad.. I want you to kiss me on the forehead and tell me everything will be alright... I felt tears on my eyes," I can't do this, I can't keep up...

He twisted his wrist from my grip and I had no choice but to let him go...

"What happened to you being there for me ???You said you would always be by my side..." I whispered. But still he remained silent, drinking his milkshake..

"All those are memories, you should forget about me.." He replied boldly.

I gathered the courage and turned to face him. He was acting all cold but in his eyes he looked worried about me. I know he also wanted me as much as I wanted him...

"Don't you love me anymore???" I stuttered and he looked away...

"Don't......"

"My love you are here, I have been looking everywhere for you..." My good for nothing husband butted in...

"Thanks for the milkshake..." I told Jaxon, placed the remaining content on the counter and left the kitchen..

Jordan's POV

I won. I told you that by hook or crook Ciara was going to be my wife..

I got married in the worst possible way that I can never wish the world to know about it..

We would have had a glamorous wedding if I wasn't scared about the l**t Ciara felt for my brother...With that l**t she was dangerous and that's why I had to act fast..

It was like fifteen minutes past ten when she left our room...Was she angry that I told her to sleep on the couch??? But this is my bed and she is the guest...

Plus we aren't even in love , she is like in the 'somebody that I know' zone.. And people in those zones don't deserve special treatment...

I tried ignoring the fact that she wasn't in the room but I was restless...What if she went into Jaxon's room and seduced him??? What if she run away??? What if she told on me???

With the crazy thoughts in my mind, I ran out of my room into Jaxon's room without knocking and they weren't there.

. That's how paranoid I was becoming by the minute.

Like a mad man I ran downstairs and spotted them in the kitchen. Beside him she looked fragile, like a scared cat, she seemed like she craved for love but Jaxon looked unbothered.

Maybe was because he saw me or he genuinely just found her irritating...

I felt my heart drop in my stomach, anger raising up my temples but I chose to act all cool...

She was my wife and needed to respect boundaries... I have a reputation to uphold...

"Baby, you are here. I have been looking for you everywhere..." I faked a concern and she didn't bother faking her love...She just rubbed the coldness on my face...

She was gonna get it from me when I get into our room...

When she left, Jaxon just stood there silently playing with the glass...

"She likes you..." I broke the silence...

"She is not my type...." He answered coldly not looking at me...

"But you two are close right???" I don't know why I couldn't stop interrogating him..

"Yeah, designer and employer relationship..."

I felt stupid but I needed clarity. I couldn't sleep with a guilty conscience of knowing he also felt the same and I snatched her away...

"Some wine???" I asked and he shook his head.

"So you don't like her???"

"Nope..."
