The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 111

It wasn’t that George doubted Ciara or disliked her, it’s just that in most wealthy families they like keeping their wealth within b***d related members. When a child is born they are each given a share of the family’s fortune, hense why it is wise to be sure that the baby Ciara was carrying belonged to the Jones’.

When everything was cleared, Liam informed his family that he was not staying as they needed to attend to their businesses and after that he and his friends left. The holiday period had now passed so they all had a lot of catching up to do at their respective place of work. This was even worse for Finnick especially with the reported civil unrest, he needed to know what was really happening, and how the citizens where coping with everything, and also implement a possible solution. As the head all these decisions needed him to be physically present at the police department.

When he arrived at the station, in instructed the officer working the reception area to pass him all reports filed within the past 24 hour related to the on going unrest. He spend the entire afternoon going through those files.

He found that even though every police officer in his unit along from other units or station were deployed, they still couldn’t stop the looters from stealing and vandalizing properties because even though it was all police officers from all stations there was still a few of them as they were going against the whole city.

He called all his subordinates in to a meeting in order to get an idea of what was really going on. After listening to each and every one of them he then asked for any suggestions on the solution then gave an advice of his own.

” There’s only a few thousands of us against hundreds of thousands of them, so we will never win by denying them entry to the shops they want to vandalize as that can only compromise our safety. But there is one thing we can do, wait for them to start looting then we come in and arrest a few that we will manage to catch, make a video while they are lined up in handcuffs. By that we’re instilling fear in their mind, other police departments will then join us. Once enough fear is planted in one’s hear they will not even attempt on going to any shop to steal. Do that for now report to me at the end of your shifts. “

After dismissing everyone, he returned to his office where he monitored the situation through the national’s police Twitter, what was trending and the news broadcasting.

Not even an hour had passed, he started seeing videos of people lying down on their stomach with their hands cuffed be hide him on Twitter, a few minutes later more pictures and video were posted, now all these videos and pictures revealed the true identity of the thieves.

The number of shops that were being vandalized started going down. The news broadcaster also picked up on this and also resharing these video clips and pictures on live television.

No one wanted to be seen by the whole world while breaking the law. More and more people chose to stay in their homes.

As the day progressed news reports of increased number of arrests and people who were injured or unfortunately died in result of the unrest, was shown in almost all the news channels.

Just like that fear brought peace to the city yet again. The army and police officers were deployed in almost every city in the state to prevent and arrest anyone that might try their luck.

Back at the Jones’ residence Ciara had been treated like an egg through out her day, Maggie personally prepared fruit snacks for her, made sure she was comfortable at all time, when it felt a little chilly she would bring down a blanket specially for Ciara and it was the same with Alzlea’s treatment for her when she needed a drink Azlea would get a glass for her even when she got up to use the bathroom, everyone will first ask her where she was going anf if she needed anything. This went on the entire day and it became too much to a point where she too got frustrated at the situation, she knew that they were trying to help but she had perfectly working hand and feet not to mention that her body was healthy and fit to move about so she was fine to do everything for herself.

” You do know that I’m not as fragile as an egg, I can still do a lot of thing without tiring or straining myself.”

This went on till Liam came back to fetch Ciara back home and it was at that time when Liam walked in the room.

” And why don’t you like it when they caring for you dear? “

At that moment, she felt like burying herself. She did not mean to offend the Jones and was hoping that Liam would support and stand by her side but instead he was the one to put her on the spot. Since there was no going back from this she just decided to get herself out of the position she was in.

” It’s not that I dislike the treatment at all, it’s just that mom has grown and I don’t want to inconvenience her. I still have some energy and I enjoy moving around more.”

This way she thought she was able to tell them how she felt without offending anyone hopefully now they will let her do things on her own. What came next proved that it was all but only her wishful thinking.

” Well sorry to break your heart sweetheart, but my wife is not going to get anything less than royalty treatment.”

Hearing that Ciara wanted to grit her teeth in anger, give Liam a peace of her mind, but right now there was people with and all she could do was smile while swallowing her anger that was brewing inside. It was only then that Ciara learnt of the reason why everyone treated her like she was going to break and all the evidence pointed to Liam.
