Ch. 26..30: The Wife I Never Met chapter 26-30
Chapter 26
As it was deep in the summer, she was wearing her off the shoulder floral dress with slides. Although she looked very casual but with her body, she was able to pull it off.
As she left the office building she took a cab to the restaurant they had agreed to meet at with her friends. When she arrived at the destination, she realized that this was actually a five star restaurant which had high minimum spending policy. This restaurant was definitely not for the working class like her.
But since she was already there, and couldn’t change venues on the last minute she decided to go inside.
When she was at the entrance of the restaurant she bumped in to someone, and the lady’s purse was sent flying before it could land down on the floor , so Ciara apologized profusely as she didn’t mean to, she even volunteered to pick up the fallen purse.
“I’m really sorry about that, let me pick that up for you”.
“Are you mad?…. Why don’t you just dig those eyes out as you don’t even use them”. But the lady wasn’t having it, as she had started swearing at her. She just didn’t see the use of apologizing. An apology would never fix her purse should it be damaged, and this cheaply dressed woman in front of her could never afford to replace it.
Ciara picked the purse when she was about to hand it over to it’s owner, she was so shocked by the person in front of her, why did she have to meet her here out of all places. She immediately turned cold.
“Boity?”
The other woman was also surprised but soon recovered, she took out her sunglasses and looked at Ciara with disgust.
“Oooh you again, I see you didn’t die from the hit.” she then looked around her before continuing.
“I know you don’t afford this place, so what are you doing here, are you following me? Hehe he or perhaps you want to get glimpse of your ex…. Huh you’d never get back with him.”
“You can keep that boyfriend if yours I don’t want him.”
“owh right, that’s because you’ve now scored yourself a sugar daddy, I see you’ve given up the Hustle of getting in to Mr Jones’ bed.” Boity was now smiling, liking the feeling she got from rubbing in the Salt in Ciara’s wounds. She loved seeing her miserable.
Ciara just couldn’t hold it in any more, she was so irritated from hearing this comment over and over. Through out the day, so to vent her anger raised her hand aiming at Boity’s face she then swung it really hard to strike Boity on her cheek.
“Smack” the sound was loud crisp and clear, everyone turned to their direction to see what had happened. Boity on the other hand didn’t expect the buzzing clap, and felt humiliated by Ciara, she wanted to fight back and teach Ciara a lesson but suddenly noticed a familiar silhouette at the corner of her eyes so she had a change of plan.
” Ciara don’t act so highly, we all know that you are a mistress of that old man. We are family after all, why don’t you tell us when you need money we could try to help with the little that we have. You don’t have to do these things.” she sounded like someone caring and willing to help her family member in times of need. But to Ciara the hidden message was loud and clear. She was basically calling her a home wracker, someone who didn’t care about the well-being of others but only cared about her financial gain.
This infuriated Ciara even further, she raised her hand once again intending to give Boity a second clap, just to remind her to think properly before saying anything nasty about others next time.
Just when her palm was about to reach Boity’s cheek, her wrist was held by a rough hand.
“what is wrong with you? Are you not afraid of the consequences?”.
That voice came from the ever annoying Dexter the ex. Ciara on the other hand was not scared by this man at all. After being with Liam all this while, a man who was mostly cold and aloof. Dexter’s indifference was nothing to her, so she only sneered in response.
Seeing the look on Ciara’s face, he concluded that she wasn’t going to apologize any time soon. Boity was now leaning on his chest with tears flowing out like a river, she was really pitiable and indeed Dexter’s heart ached from the sight of Boity crying in pain. So he decided to speak again.
” Ciara why do you have to so stubborn, she’s your sister for heaven’s sake. Are you still holding her countable for what happened that day? Look at her she regrets it, that’s why she offered to help you financially.”
She only looked at her acting cousin who was so good at it that she could’ve scored herself an award if she took acting as her career. She then maintained her straight face.
” She’s not at all important for me to hold a grudge against her . “
She then left the scene without even sparing them a glance. She headed straight to the private room they had reserved.
Chapter 27
q When she walked inside the room, she discovered that her friends were late as always. She decided to take a seat and order herself a strong drink, just to calm her nerves as she was still fuming from the previous altercation.
She sat down elegantly, slowly sipping on her drink. She wasn’t about to let Boity ruin her day just like that. Just as she was still enjoying her drink, the door of the private room flew wide open. Lisa and Stacey walked in, they looked like they were ready to go to war.
“Hey why are you so chilled, did you not see your biggest enemy was in the building?”
“Yeah Cici come up, we need to teach that she-devil a lesson, don’t you think?.”
They were so riled up, you’d swear that Boity had offended them and not Ciara. They were gonna protect their friend no matter what.
“arg she’s not a person we need to stress about, besides I’ve already taught her a lesson of my own.”
“heheh tell us, what did you do to her.”
Ciara then went on to relate what had happened between her and Boity, how she gave her a buzzing clap that should have taught her a lesson of respect.
But her two friends felt that the punishment wasn’t enough, given how vicious Boity was, they were certain that she will try something else.
‘Arg man, enough about these unimportant people, let’s have fun.'” that’s how the conversation about about Boity ended.
The food they had ordered soon arrived Accompanied by drinks of cause and they waisted no time and devoured it. This might be the last time they spend quality time together as the holidays were nearing. All these years they spent all holidays together in Ciara’s apartment like a little family, but this year was different, now Ciara had a family of her own. It was highly possible that she would spend it together with Liam. As the alcohol had started to take it’s cause in their bodies, Ciara now needed a bathroom. She excused herself and stumbled her way to the ladies. When she was done with her business she fought hard to exit the cubicle, she washed her hands then her face to reduce the effects of alcohol, but that didn’t do much of a difference. She then walked out of the ladies room and walked back to her friends in their private room.
When she got there she opened the door and found that the room was now dimly lit. She paid no mind to that as she was already intoxicated, so she walked in towards the table. When she was halfway in the room she noticed something was off, the two most talkative people she knew were awfully quiet at this point, so she squinted her eyes trying to scan the room and see what exactly was wrong with her friends.
When she looked around she noticed that her friends were not in that room but instead it was a bunch of men in business suits who occupied the room. That was when she realized that she had entered the wrong room, so she apologized as she had disturbed their meeting or gathering, whatever it was that they were there for. To her it did not matter, what mattered the most at that time was for her to apologize and get out as fast as she could.
But when she turned around to leave, there was a man in front of her blocking her way to the door.
“Hey pretty lady, since you’re already here why don’t you stay and keep us company.” the guy felt that Ciara had entered the room on purpose, it could be that she already knew that the big shots will be in that restaurant, in that room in particular hence why she appeared there.
“I’m sorry I can’t, I need to go” but still that man didn’t get out of the way but instead grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward the couch away from the table and the other men.
“Don’t play hard to get with me young lady, I know you want this too”.
Alarm bells started to ring in Ciara’s head, that alerted her that she was in danger so she began to fight with all her might, trying to free herself from his hold.
“feisty, I see.” her struggles aroused him even more, it encouraged him to also fight for her and conquer.
“Let go of her!” a deep, crisp and manly voice was heard and everyone turned to the source of that voice. It was Liam Jones. The man was confused ‘since when did Liam concern himself about these things, it had never bothered him before if we play with women or maybe he took interest on this one’.
Liam then stood up and went to the woman and checked if she was alright. Ciara then assured him that she was fine, because of the incident that happened just now she had sobered a little.
To be honest, Liam did not see her when she walked in. He had never liked these type of gatherings but still attended them as they are beneficial to his company. He would socialize for a short while before keeping himself busy with his phone checking email or doing other work related stuff and that was the case now, he was so pre occupied with his work that he did not see his wife walking in nor did he notice when the filthy man was abusing her. It was only when the commotion started that he lift his eyes and saw the situation his wife was in and then he immediately took action.
Chapter 28
He then shot the perverted man an angry glare. Before taking his woman out of that room. Ciara showed him the way to their room which was actually directly opposite Liam’s.
She opened the door only to find her friends arguing and faintly smiled, these were really her friends.
They were actually debating whether or not something had happened to Ciara.
“Hey this place is safe nothing bad could happen to her, besides, the toilet must be fully occupied that’s why she’s taking so long.”
“No Lisa, I still think we should go out and look for her.” with that, she stood up ready to go look For her friend and to her surprise Ciara was already standing at the door entrance and was about to go in.
“Hey hey hey, where have you been, you know we’ve been worried sick about you. You really need to explain yourself.” as much as she was relieved that her friend was now safe, Stacey couldn’t help but worry that something might have happened to her while she was gone.
” I’m fine now, I actually got lost but luckily there was good hearted person who was kind enough to show me the way.
It was only then that the two women noticed that there was another person with Ciara. Earlier they were so relieved to see Ciara come back that they only focused only on her as they weren’t sure if she was OK.
“oh Mr Jones, good afternoon.” they politely greeted Liam acknowledging his presence. And he only responded with a bid.
“I will be taking her home now, she had too much to drink”.
What could they do , although they felt that he was ruining their fun, he was her husband and the safety of their friend was more important than their fun. So they helped hand over Ciara’s bag. With that Ciara and Liam left the restaurant.
Ciara was still on cloud nine, it could be that she had forgotten about the incident with the perverted man or maybe she chose not to dwell on it as she was with the person she felt most safe with. All the way to the car, she kept singing her favorite song without caring about the fact that she was off tune.
It was a love song, one was happy that they had finally found love, after all the pain and hurdles of life she had finally found the one she could rely on. Share her burdens with, and grow old with.
Ciara could most definitely relate to this song, she had started developing feelings for this man. As someone who was without a family, she felt that now finally there was someone whom she could rely on, and that person was of course the famous aloof ceo and the one and only Liam Jones.
They walked to their car which was parked not far from where they were. Liam opened the door for her before helping her settle in then also entered. The car then drove straight to the sea side villa, along the way Ciara was very touchy Feely and was very intimate toward Liam and kept stealing k****s from him. As much as she loved this side of her, as she had never been the one to openly show her feelings or take the initiative but this was not the right place to give in. It was very difficult for him to keep his desires in check, he felt like the woman in front of him will be the death of him. When he couldn’t take it anymore he pulled Ciara in to his arms and gave her what she’s been asking for all this while. He gave her a very strong yet passionate k**s, trying hard not to give in to his desire. While they were enjoying the moment, it was not the same thing for the driver. He was so awkward and didn’t know how to react. Their intimate session at the back is causing him to lose focus on the road, as his eyes would from time to time involuntary look at the rear view mirror and the sight of them making out was all he could see.
Luckily for him they quickly reached the destination and the couple got out .
As soon as they walked inside the villa, Liam was like a snake that was provoked in it’s hole, he struck fearlessly. He just couldn’t hold himself any more , he had reached his limit and Ciara had no one to blame but herself.
Once they were done, all of Ciara’s energy was drained. She was so tired that taking a bath was just a mission of it’s own. Noticing how tired she was, Liam offered to help her with her bath, so he filled the bath tub with warm water, added some bubble bath solution then helped her in. He started with her back then her chest rotating his hand around her breasts down her belly button and finally his hand rested on her privates. He took his time cleaning that part of his wife, he was so slow and gentle you would actually swear that he was holding a precious gem. As gentle as he was during this bath but God knows how bad he was suffering inside, his entire body had started burning up. Only he could feel the throbbing sensation on his already hard shaft, but he still maintained his calm expression and continued to wash his wife clean.
His fingers were moving in a circular direction while ‘cleaning’ her but soon found his fingers digging deeper and deeper now moving up and down and this action caused Ciara to m**n in pleasure.
Now this encouraged Liam to pick up his pace while his crowch hardened even further, he was so good at pleasing her touching all her sensitive corners. By the looks of it Ciara will soon be begging him for release.
Just as her body tensed from all the accumulated pressure, Liam stopped what he was doing and smiled at her.
“Oh Sweetheart, you will be the death of me.”
Just like that, Liam did not give her the chance to respond but Began with the mission at hand….
Chapter 29
The following day when Ciara woke up her body was in so much pain that she even thought her joints could be separated at any moment. She had wrapped up everything she had to do at work and because of that, there was no need for her to go to the office, at least not until new years.
She lazily took her phone to check the time and found that it was still 6 am, so she buried herself with the bed covers and continued sleeping. She was never a morning person to begin with, so sleeping at this hour came naturally for her and the light coming through the big windows in her room did not bother her one bit.
It was not until almost lunch that she woke up, although her body was still aching, she felt much better than she was when she first woke up in the morning. And could at least walk properly now.
When she got down stairs she found two middle aged women going up and down, busy with the house chores.
It could be seen from the uniforms that they were wearing that they are housemaids, it’s just that she never knew they had them. Which is why she would always clean up after herself. The house is always clean and now that she saw the maids, everything just makes sense. Why would a very busy man, a Billionaire at that, do the house chores when he could hire someone for that.
She greeted the two women before returning back to her room to wash up, she just couldn’t let people see her in that state, even if those people were helpers.
Just as she got out of the bathroom her phone started ringing, it was a call from Liam, so she answered immediately.
“mhmm”.
“are you awake?”
“yeap, just finished taking a bath, what’s up?”
“I’ll send Larry to get you, let’s have lunch together.” that was not a question nor was it a request so Ciara had no room for to decline. She found herself looking at the now dark screen and sighed. She only planned to stay home the whole day, and now she had to dress up.
Knowing the kind of person Liam is, she knew that they would probably go to a high end restaurant, so she had to look her best, at least for Liam’s sake.
She went through her closet and checked out some of the dresses she had, then settled for a semi formal dress as they were just having lunch nothing more. She then went on to pick her red bottoms matching heels, did her light make-up and tied her hair up in to a bun.
Satisfied by how she looked, she smiled at the person reflected by the mirror. She then took her bag and left the house along with her empty stomach.
Larry was already waiting in front of the car when she got out of the house, they greeted each other then he opened the door for her to get in the car.
Today was a very hot day almost reaching 40 degrees Celsius. She was greatful that Larry was thoughtful enough to open the air conditioner, to cool down the heat. Year end was her favorite time of the year, it’s more lively and there’s a lot of things to do, entertainment wise but the heat that comes with it, is definitely not what she wants.
During the drive they spoke about more random things, but through the conversation she learned alot about Larry. He was not just a driver or an assistant to Liam but he was his most trusted right hand man. To Liam he was everything, he was an all rounder, the only subordinate who was also involved in Liam’s private life, that’s how much he trust him.
She noticed that the car was not going toward any restaurants she knew but toward the city’s business district. She figured it was probably because they’ll be fetching Liam.
The car pulled up in the underground parking reserved for the president. This time she did not have to go through the receptionist but Larry took her straight to the private elevator. When the receptionist recognized Ciara she tried to be all active and greet her with a huge grin as if she was never rude to her before.
Ciara ignored all the receptionist’s enthusiasm and only nodded.
When they got to Liam’s office they found that he was still in a meeting so she had to wait for a minute or two before he walked in with a huge smile on his face. He was just happy to see his wife and mesmerized by her beauty. He then took his jacket and led Ciara out of the office all the way to the parking lot, they then drove to the outskirts of town, toward the mountains. The views were only filled with greenery through out the trip, soon a huge house surrounded by a forest came to sight. On the gate of this property was written ‘mountain valley of peace’ it was indeed serene.
This whole place gave off the feeling of comfort, being whole and contentment. It was just a great feeling.
They were soon welcomed by a very friendly couple, which showed them the way to the dinning area where they’ll be eating but didn’t stay that long with with. The couple soon excused themselves as they had things to attend to.
Left alone in the huge dining hall Liam and Ciara chatted for a while before Liam announced.
“Don’t wait for me tonight, I might come back a little late. My mom invited me to dinner with the family. “
” Is it a blind date? “
Chapter 30
“She organized another blind date for you didn’t she?” her heart sank as she asked this question, to her this felt like being cheated on. She understood that Liam wasn’t at all interested in his mom’s games, but the insecure inner voice told her otherwise. She wanted to trust him, but she’s really scared. What she also wondered was, if Liam’s mom was to find out about her relationship with Liam, would she like Ciara and accept her as her daughter in-law. What if she doesn’t approve of her, would she respect the relationship between herself and Liam or would she continue with these so called blind dates till she finds the one she approved of. Just the thought of this got her riled up.
“well as much as I wouldn’t rule that out, but I don’t think she would invite an outsider to the family dinner. And even if she does, you just don’t have to worry I’ll behave myself.” he then flashed her his most beautiful smile.
“I really don’t like this one bit, how could I ever relax knowing that my husband is being looked at by a bunch of women like he’s a piece of meat,
It just doesn’t sit well with me.”
Liam looked at his jealous wife with a smile, he felt that her jealousy meant something and at this point the only thing he could think of, is that she might have started developing feelings for him.
He then pulled her chin up so that she could face him and sincerely stated.
“Hey as much as you are my wife and everything in you belong to me, I too belong to you, in my heart there is no room for another person and in my eyes only you can be seen. You need not worry as I will always be by your side. You own me sweetheart, remember that , you own me. “
At his words Ciara had calmed down a little, but because she was starving as she hadn’t had anything to eat the whole day, Liam just couldn’t tell how she was feeling and thought she was still feeling uneasy.
He was now wracking his brain trying to find a way to cheer her up, but the sound of footsteps approaching disturbed his thinking. He stood up to show respect as the couple from earlier returned and sat with them in their table.
Liam then went on to introduce the couple to his wife, turns out that this mountain valley property belonged to them and it is a private restaurant where they only take one booking per week. This restaurant didn’t have a menu and each meal served come as a surprise to the guests. Even so, many of the rich and famous would kill to secure a booking in this restaurant as it is mostly fully booked through out the year.
But of course this has never been the case for Liam as he was close to the owners.
“Ciara these are my friends Steve James and his wife Dr Noms Jonas, we actually met a while back when I was abroad for business management training, Steve here has taught me a lot about the business world.”
Ciara tried to be as welcoming as she could but she was just so hungry that it appeared to them as if she was grumpy and did not want to be there. She gave them a half hearted smile and then responded.
” nice to meet you, Steve and Noms. ” she kept looking at the door, but when Liam saw her actions, he thought she was probably angry and didn’t want him to go to his family house.
Right then the door opened and a trolley with a number of dishes was pushed in, Ciara’s eyes were glued to the trolley as it made it’s way to the table where they were. The food was then placed on the table and the staff left the room with the trolley.
As soon as the door was closed, all her table manners were gone and at that point nothing existed but the Food on the table. She didn’t even take the time to appreciate the taste and flavors, all she cared about was only to fill her stomach.
All this while a pair of eyes were also glued to her, all her actions did not go unnoticed, Noms smiled as she looked at the hungry woman who had forgotten everything about being a lady or at least behaving like one. ‘so she’s not grumpy but hungry I see, what a cutie.’
While Ciara was fully focused on filling her stomach up, she didn’t notice that none of the people at the table were eating but all of them were actually looking at her.
“Hey slow down, you are going to choke.”
That Familiar voice reminded her that she was not the only person at that table, so she raised her head and only realized then that no one had touched their food. Feeling embarrassed, she smiled awkwardly.
“I’m truly sorry for being forward.” she said that while wiping her mouth using the napkin on the table.
They wanted her to be comfortable so Noms was the first to comment.
“Girl don’t be ashamed, you can eat as much as you want.”
Feeling relieved that someone understood her, and now with a little foods in her stomach she was able to respond.
“God you have no idea how starving I was.!”
Her dramatic exclamation made everyone in the room laugh. So now it was evident that she was not grumpy or angry as they thought but was just hungry. Ciara was now back to her cheerful self.
