The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 119

“Woooo, what do you mean you guys are leaving already, I mean we just got here and look at all the food that we’ve brought for you guys.”

Matthew was the one to speak, yes as they’ve been having a thing with Stacey, she happened to blushed immediately after she heard him mention the fact that the food was brought especially for them.

When Lisa noticed she was the one to speaks first.

” Well we thought we would be giving Mr Jones and Ciara here a chance to be alone and enjoy the presence of the other, but now since you are all here , we don’t mind staying over.”

She didn’t even care whether she was drunk or not , what mattered to her was for her friends to have a chance at love.

” Is that so?”

Matthew asked while staring at Stacey to see what she had in mind. Right then Stacey had no choice but to agree with whatever Lisa said, because in front of this man she could never think straight. Hence she nodded her head vigorously, before saying,

” Yeah, sure that’s absolutely true. We can stay.”

At this moment her whole heart was pounding so hard that it was about to break through her chest and come out.

They ended up turning around and made their way to the kitchen where Ciara later joined them as they reheated all the barbaque that Liam had brought. They then set up the table and then placed all the dishes of barbeque on it.

They were having a feast of barbeque steak, sausage, ribs with corn ,salsa and some garlic bread.

While they had their meal peacefully in the villa ,Boity on the other side was busy bad mouthing Ciara to her parents.

They too were having dinner at this time over some light conversation.

” So Boity, now that you are back what do you plan to do with your life?”

Mrs Williams asked seriously, as she was against useless women who did nothing in life, who all they knew was to spend money given to them by men. She strongly believed in hard working women and independence. And Boity knew all of this.

” well I will be applying for more work this side or maybe I can just come and help at the family’s company again. I don’t want to be as useless as Ciara and not do my part at building the family’s wealth.”

The moment she finished those words everyone at the table looked at her weirdly, and she couldn’t understand why because they were the ones who had disowned their own daughter so it shouldn’t be a problem when she talks badly about her , ‘right?’

” Anyway do you have anything for me to help with, maybe I can replace better business to invest in and not those bad movies Ciara wrote. Plus the construction side of business isn’t growing as fast as it should.”

Now things were about to get real , she had touched the sore spot a couple of times now and people were getting tired of it. Old man Williams the straight talker who never liked this granddaughter of his was the one to speak.

” Hold it right there, don’t you dare put my granddaughter’s name in your Mouth when you don’t have anything nice to say. Ciara has achieved a lot in her life and is doing well, yes she chose not to work in the family business but that still doesn’t give you the right to speak ill of her. so behave yourself.”

Boity was irritated by her annoying grandfather’s comment. So she looked at the only person in the room she knew well that did not have a soft spot for Ciara.

” But it’s the truth, uncle you too know that.”

Mr Williams looked back at her, and shook his head.

” That’s where you are wrong my child, although Ciara chose her own path that doesn’t mean that she is useless. I am the one who wronged her and should be the one to apologize. Ciara respected us no matter how awful we treated her and still continued to build her brand on her own. She managed to be where she is today by herself, without the help of a man or of her family and for that I’m proud of her.”

As she listened to the people who used to hate hearing anything that involved Ciara’s name, sing praises of her ,Boity felt her body cringing. She bawled her hands in to fists under the table and grinded her teeth in anger. As the family focused on the food in front of them no one except old man Williams who had been observing her all along noticed all of her actions and shook his head.

” Now if you want peace with the family, you will have to stop that attitude and treat her as your sister, as you will be seeing more of her these coming days .”

Boity tried hard to force a smile on her face but because of her unstable mood, it came out awkward and fake so everyone saw it.

” Of cause grandfather, she is my cousin and I will treat her fairly.”

“Good”.

Judging from her character and how she had just behaved not so long ago, they knew that she wasn’t being genuine with her answer, but still let it slide.

‘ what’s the worse thing that she could do, she’ll never hurt our Ciara and she knows it.”

Well that was what the family thought, but was it really true? .

Boity had already hurt Ciara numerous times before so what would stop her now. Their presence perhaps? No one truly knew.

The following day Ciara asked her friends to accompany her to the mall as she needed to buy a few things for her hospital bag, her days to delivery were getting closer and closer .

They visited a couple of maternity shops and a few mother and baby’s essentials and once they were done they decided on getting something light to eat on one of the restaurants in the food court. They ordered a few items then sat down to eat, but before the food arrived Ciara excused herself to the bathroom. Her bathroom runs were now more frequent as she was at the later stage of her pregnancy.

She walked in the bathroom and did her business once she was done she washed her hands and exited the bath room but as soon as she stepped out a huge hand grabbed on to hers and pulled her to the side.
