The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 123

Now that Liam had said something about it, Ciara realized that he could be in fact right in this whole thing, it was too much of a risk to show up in front of that man for now especially when things are just spiraling out of control, new information being released every few minutes, what if he changed the whole thing and used it against her. Everyone would still see her as the villan ,hence she kept quiet and continued eating her breakfast.

Liam let her be as he entered the bathroom to take a shower, after some time he came out while drying himself up.

” Go freshen up , you are coming to work with me today.”

” Do I really have to go with you, I mean with all That’s going on, everyone despise seeing me and I’m pretty sure that it’s the same with your stuff at work.”

” Remember what we said yesterday, you will never leave my sight, Well like it or not sweetheart you’re my wife and if they have a problem with that tough luck to them as they would only be stressing themselves out and won’t be able to do anything about it.”

Just like Liam had said after they were done preparing themselves, they both head out to the company building in the central business district. And by the time they reached the employee parking lot they all noticed how packed it was , with all gossip bloggers, journalists and reporters waiting for them to get their biggest scoop of the year.

This story alone could land some of them a promotion at work so they came prepared and ready to hit the jackpot.

Liam was the first one to get out of the car followed by the pregnant Ciara who was helped by Liam to get out, as soon as the reporters noticed her, cameras started clicking and flashing as they took pictures of the couple, it got worse when they noticed that she was pregnant.

” Mrs Jones ,are the rumors about you being in an affair true? Did you really cheat on your husband?”

” who is the baby’s father, do you know which one between the two men.”

” Mr Jones do you plan to continue being with her , even after all she’s done to you and betrayed your union?”

” Mrs Jones do you plan on going back to your lover or stay with your husband here?”

” What lesson are you teaching younger girls about moral conduct?.”

These were some of the questions that came from the reporters , some being insensitive and others being invasive. Ciara was not able to answer any of their questions as were bombarded to her but could only try to cover her stomach with one hand in attempts to protect her baby from any possible harm, and the other hand on her face to hide her face from the cameras. Liam held on to her waist all this time and tried to lead her in to the building, but was taking too long because of the stampede in front of them.

Just when they were about to force their microphones in her face so that she could speak, four of Liam’s men came out and managed the situation which gave way to both Ciara and Liam to go in to the building and made their way to Liam’s office.

All the way people in the office gave the couple weird looks, it was as if they pitied Liam for being dribbled by his own wife and the looks they gave Ciara was of despise.

All the reporters were successfully chased away by Liam’s security team probably because even though they didn’t get the tea they wanted from Ciara they were able to capture clear view pictures of her pregnant belly which all the previously leaked photos failed to do.

They believed that they would be able to create a news worthy story based only on that photo and could potentially make lots of money from it as well.

When Liam got to his office he dialed his secretary to call a meeting with all his staff on his floor and reception , basically all those who were giving them nasty looks all the way.

Not long after that the secretary informed them that everyone was ready for him to start.

Like a tipical boss, he took his time to come out of the office. This time as every other day he had a clean ,crisp, black looking, custom suit and a white shirt along with a black neck tie. His aura was more intimidating than ever. He skipped all the formalities and went straight to the point.

” When I first joined this company as much as my aim was to create wealth and expand the company, it was also my aim to create an atmosphere that resembles that of a home, I had wanted each and everyone in this company to not feel the void of being away from their families all day long because here at Jones group were are a family and treat each other like that.

Family don’t give you a nasty Look or look down on you just because they heard a things about you.

Ciara is My wife and the owner of this company, she is practically your boss as much as she is mine, so respect her.

Until you’ve seen with your eyes that she did everything she’s being accused of you will judge how you wish but for now as nothing has been proven and as it is still a rumor, I advice you to respect her.”

After his last word he turned around and left, without waiting to see if any of them had anything to say or ask him about this matter. He felt that the topic wasn’t up for discussion , he said what he needed to say and that’s all that mattered.

He returned to his office only to replace Ciara sitting in front of a blank canvas still mixing paint colors getting ready to pass time doing something more therapeutic, than reading all those nasty comments about her.

” I see you’ve already made yourself comfortable, what are we drawing now, I bet it’s another picture of your handsome husband, is it not?.”

Ciara laughed at him as he was getting way ahead of himself.

” If I’m going to spend the entire day in here I might as well make myself feel at home. And no it definitely will not be a picture of you. You will see when I’m done, but for now focus on your work while I focus on mine.”

Liam’s mouth fell to the pits when he heard that, so much for the man’s confidence.

He opened his laptop without a word and started with his work for the day. When Ciara saw the disappointment written all over his face, she laughed out loud and she too got on with her painting.

After some time had passed with them both engrossed with their work a call from the secretary came in, with her informing Liam that the head of public relations needed to see him urgently.

After Liam grunted them permission to see him, there was a light knock on the door and was soon opened from the outside.

” Boss it’s bad, it’s really bad.”

Liam and Ciara both looked at each other at the same time then back at the head of public relations.

” Why ? What happened?”

They didn’t think that those reporters would be that fast and efficient in their scoop as to create more damage in such a short space of time.

” well, uhm, There’s a video of a woman that claims to be Mrs Jones’ cousin. In that video she says that Ms Williams took Dexter away from her , she basically was the third person in their relationship. Here take this and view it for yourself.”
