The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 155

When Ciara thought about what Doctor Lindy just said, she realized that this was really not the first or second time that Boity tried to harm her.

Each time Ciara would just let it pass and would put it at the back of her mind as if it had never happened.

She thought about a few incidents from when they were young, although Ciara was able to stand up for herself but Boity was really aggressive towards her. She also thought about the time they met overseas when she was gloating at her as she had been dating Dexter at that time but soon changed her attitude immediately when she spotted her talking to Dexter.

She even landed in hospital when they knocked her unconscious during that shooting period overseas. Most recently she threatened her with a knife, and at that time Ciara was sure that if Hillary hadn’t came to the kitchen, Boity would’ve stabbed her and her baby to death.

” But I just don’t understand, why would she hate me this much, I mean we’re cousins for heaven’s sake. We should look out for each other and not try to harm the other.”

” Well that’s an answer only she can tell you, how about you visit her, ask all the questions in your heart, that is if you are comfortable though. If not, try to write a letter to her , pen down all your feelings and we will discuss this on our next session.”

Lindy looked down at her watched and saw that it was time for her next patient, so she wrapped up her session with Ciara and bid her farewell.

Ciara then went out to the assistant and booked her next appointment, she was still not sure how it went, if it will be helping her or not but decided to book it anyway.

When she was done with Everything ,she went out looking for Liam and found him just outside the doctor’s office with a laptop on his lap and was on a phone call which seemed important. Ciara figured that the man probably kept himself busy by doing some of his work while she was in her session. He was running a multi billion rands company so it was without a doubt that he’ll always be busy, but chooses to clear some of his time for his wife.

When he noticed Ciara standing in front of the door of doctor Lindy’s office he wrapped up his call, closed his laptop and stood up walking up to his wife.

He then hugged her, and wiped the wet drops of tears that she wasn’t able to wipe off.

” You were crying.”

Ciara looked down not wanting to face Liam’s eyes while looking like that and then she nodded her head.

” Yeah, a little.”

” Why? Did she do anything to you?”

Again She used her head as a response as she shook her head, but Liam put his hand on her chin and lifted it up so that she could look at him.

” I’m telling the truth, I just became a little emotional that’s all.”

” Ok let’s go.”

Liam nodded and then took his things as they both headed to the car, but because Liam hadn’t finished with his work he drove them straight to his walk place.

“I will not come in with you, let me pick Lina up and we will come looking for you in your office.”

Although Liam wanted to spend some time with just his wife, he knew that she’d end up being bored all alone as he still had something urgent to do for work. So he offered to driver her back home but all he got was ,

” No don’t worry my love, go finish your work, I’ll just take a cab and I’ll be fine.”

Liam though wasn’t satisfied with her answer so he called one of his drivers to drive Ciara home and also bring her back when she is done.

So when the man came, he did just that. When Ciara got home she came back to a very peaceful, quiet house.

” Mom? Lina?”

She called out for the two but was soon stopped by Ms Nicky as her shouting were a bit too loud.

” Shhhh, you will wake them up. They are both sleeping in Lina’s room.”

So Ciara immediately covered her month with one of her hands and nodded, she then walked upstairs to the direction of Lina’s bedroom. When she got there found her mom sleeping peacefully on the small bed next to Lina’s cot with Lina also sleeping next to her but now sleeping in a different position.

One of Lina’s legs was right on Hillary’s chest and her head around the buttock area. When she saw this, Ciara smiled and then took out her phone, snapped the picture and sent it straight to Liam with a caption.

” something to brighten your day.”

While looking at the room around her, she noticed that something was missing. That Catalina plant she was painting that day in Liam’s office over a year ago.

Although she had finished with the painting, she never really had the time to put it up, till the time she totally forgot about it and was only focused on taking care of both her husband and daughter who was very young at that time.

She went out, not forgetting to close the door as she left.

She walked over the room that she had turned in to a studio and office. Went over the pile of paintings she had, till she found the one signed with ‘ My darling Lina.’

She then took it out of the protective cover that it was in, removed the small dust that had gathered around it and then took another picture and sent it over to Liam.

” Remember the missing element in Lina’s room, now we’ve found it.”

Looking at this picture Liam who was in his office, having a meeting with two of his subordinates was actually confused when he saw this picture. He didn’t know why that picture in particular could be what was missing in his daughter’s room. In response, he knitted his eyebrows and threw the phone back at the table.

When they noticed his reaction his subordinates looked at each other thinking that it was something to do with them and that they’d probably messed something up.

” Continue.”

He told them as he reached out to take his phone again, went on the internet and searched Catalina flower and was greeted by a vibrant pink orchid similar to the painting Ciara sent him so he smiled and started typing.

” Baby Lina in the painting?”

Now the subordinates were confused by this, first he seemed stressed but now their boss was smiling on his phone, was he even listening to them?.

Liam told them to redo their pitch as it still contained some loopholes.

After dismissing them he called his wife.

” Hey.”

A sweet pleasant voice of Ciara came through his phone speaker as she answered his call.

” What time are you coming, or should I pick you up?”

” No you focus on doing your work, we will come when you knock off.”

” But why so late, I want to see you guys now!”

Liam complained like a little boy but that didn’t shock nor did it annoy his wife one bit as she had gotten used to this side of his, unlike his subordinate who only know the aloof, cold and scary side of Liam.

” Miss us that much?”

He nodded, but when he realized that Ciara couldn’t really see him then he said,

” Yeah.”

At the end of their conversation it was concluded that Ciara would not be waiting for his knock off time but would bring Lina along with her as soon as she wakes up from her nap.

Since that was settled Ciara chose to make herself a salad as she was hungry and hadn’t had anything since morning. She needed to save space for dinner as they’d be going out later with Liam, she thought a salad would be good option for now.

As she dug in to her meal she started hearing noise coming from upstairs and when she listened carefully she realized that it as her daughter’s voice asking for her mommy.

” Mommy isn’t home yet baby, don’t cry.”

Hillary tried hard to console this little girl, but Lina got out of bed and started taking her small self out of the room.

” No, Mama.”

She called out with her small baby voice, and Ciara got up and went upstairs to see what was going on. By the time she got to her daughter, Lina looked as if she was about to explode and cry even louder. But as soon as she saw her mother all of those emotions disappeared and she was a happy child again.

” Mommy!”

She came running to hug her dearest mother. Although she was used to Ms Nicky and would see her grandmother from time to time, Lina was still a mommy’s girl and needed her mother’s presence at all times.
