MY HUSBAND MY CAPTOR

CHAPTER 4

PARTY POPPERS

RYAN

I watched as she smiled and laughed with the guest, she is sincerely happy here and would never agree to go back to Georgia with me .. her foolish husband is also there so it won’t work.

I quickly ruled out telling her about that today? Maybe another day but I must tell her about my feelings today, they were eating me up and she’s looking so beautiful today isn’t helping my restraint at all.

Her father glared at me from where he stood on the other side of her balcony. The twins were with him and he was chatting with all his teeth opened with them. Anisha had invited the both of us over for their birthday.

“Hope you all are enjoying yourself!” I heard her sweet voice. She was asking the little kids who had come to celebrate with her twin and their parents.

Everywhere was busy and buzzling, booming with light music, decoration and lots of food. I made sure the party lacked nothing. Her father doesn’t like me but I don’t care, he knows of my intention of marrying his daughter and he’s not in support of it.

“I need to see you, Anisha,” I whispered into her ear. She was standing with Julia, taking some ice cream to give to the kids. She nodded and smiled back at me, her eyes glowing more than ever. I had to restrain myself from pulling her in for a kiss.

Julia smirked at me and I read it in her eyes, she knew my hidden feelings for Anisha, everyone knows… only Anisha. She thinks I’m just a friend and I tried to show her countless times that I don’t want to be an ordinary friend but she still doesn’t get it.

I dragged her quietly to a secluded part of the loud and fun party and dived straight into the conversation.

“I don’t care what will happen today and I need to tell you … Anisha I can’t think straight and I have to let it out… my feelings! It’s killing me, your husband is such a fool for letting you go … I mean you are a gem and …” I was beginning to stutter. She was looking straight into my eyes with her mouth slightly opened.

“Ryan…. Don’t tell me it’s true! Julia was just telling me now that you have a crush on me and I almost broke her head! It can’t be .. Ryan, I'm still married!My husband won’t divorce me and …”

I cut her shut with an unexpected brief kiss, I didn’t plan to as well, but I was furious with everything she was saying and when she called Jamie her husband, I lost my cool.

She staggered backward from me and cleaned her mouth with the back of her arm, she scowled at me but kept shut.

I took her trembling hands and looked lustfully into her eyes, this time I won’t hold anything back. “Anisha I have loved you since our teenage years, I should have told you but I allowed that i***t to take you away… but this time, I won’t sit back while he gets a second chance…

“He’s not getting any chance! No man is getting a chance in my life anymore Ryan.. you are my best friend and I don’t want to lose you, but I can’t be in a romantic relationship with you” she told me bluntly, tears appearing in her eyes suddenly.

I didn’t want her to cry today, that was not my intention, “it’s okay … alright Anisha … no crying today, but I am happy I told you, now you know … and mind you, I’m not giving up” i added the last sentence with some laughter in my voice.

Everywhere around us was too tensed and I wanted to make her smile again, I failed because she didn’t smile, she removed her hands from

Mine abruptly and walked away angrily.

ANISHA

Two weeks after the whole confession thing from Ryan and I was still dumbfounded, he’s my best friend and I don’t want to lose our friendship but if he continues with this charade of his, I might just cut him off.

“Are you okay….you look…. Hmm.. tired” Julia commented, handing me a cold milk, I took it gratefully and shrugged at her, “your guess was right and no … no .. don’t laugh, you’ve been making fun of me for the past two weeks” I warned her playfully.

She quickly swallowed her laughter and nodded dramatically at me. Julia had warned me about his feelings on several occasions but I called her off, for the past two weeks since I told her she hasn't been able to stop having fun about it.

My phone beeped in my pockets and I dropped my cup of half finished milk to get it from my sweater pocket, checking my wrist watch first, it’s just past one, my twin was still in school.

I read the test quickly and my phone dropped out of my hand, Julia picked my phone and read the text as well, she gasped loudly and looked around her office like someone was watching us.

“He… he’s here!” I whispered, my voice failing to come out like I intended… “my twins!” I screamed as I realized they were out there, exposed to him.

I grabbed my car keys and sped out of her office at once, I heard her screaming at me to be careful and make sure to call her but I wasn’t even listening, the new text had shook me hard and blocked my senses.

My husband texted me today after several

Weeks of staying silent and unlike the empty and unrealistic text I get from him, he mentioned my twins today.

“Come back home Anisha… you wouldn’t like to see the other side of me, ohooo and you have some explanation to do about Shedrack, he complained that you don’t allow him to have ice cream everyday… you know I cannot allow that, my children should have everything in the whole world… I’m their daddy and they shouldn’t lack anything!”

That was the text I received. I got to their school and just like my suspicion. The school owner told me their father had picked them up earlier, he came with a court order and some police and she had no say.

I rushed out of the school in panic, this time I didn’t go back home or to Julia, I went straight to the airport. It’s time to go back to Georgia, back to the dreadful elegant and royal estate. Back to Jamie!.
