The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 16

Seeing that Liam was not about to let her in on what happened to her, Ciara started wracking her brain trying to think of the events of that day.

‘I was slapped by Boity theeen… Ohw right! LAURA,!!’

Although she was thinking and didn’t say that out loud , her anger was visible to the person in the room with her as she had started grinding her teeth.

” It was Laura, wasn’t it?.” That might just be a question, but it contained a lot of certainty in it.

Liam who was now laying in bed with her and currently brushing her back smoothly was stunned so much so that when he heard the question his body stiffened for a split second and the injured Ciara did not notice that.

“Do not worry yourself about these things,

I’ll take care of it”

“Liam is that a confirmation cause I really want to know.” Ciara did not back down in wanting to know the truth, she needed to know the person who wants to hurt her. Although she had Laura in mind, she still wanted to be sure.

This woman was sure stubborn like a bull.

” well not entirely, she claims that she had only used a paint balloon to make fun of you. Someone must have changed it to that tin that hit you. So until we replace that person you’ll have to be careful and you are not going back.”

“but how will we replace the culprit, if I don’t go back.”

Liam never answered that question, but with a frosty attitude, he got up fixed his clothes and was ready to leave.

As Ciara watched him get ready to leave, she got frustrated, how could she not know. With so much resources at his disposal Liam would definitely be able to replace the culprit. He doesn’t need her, even if she did go to the site and assisted with the investigation, she wouldn’t be of any help.

Just as he reached the door, Liam suddenly turned around asked.

“what would you like to eat, are you craving anything?” although he still looked frosty his voice was as gentle and soothing as a lullaby. But not wanting to inconvenience him as he was with her the whole day, surely he had a lot of work to do, she thought.

” No that’s OK, I’m sure the hospital will prepare something.”

“But I’m hungry, and I will not eat hospital food.”

“_”

With that Liam strode out of ward.

On the other side of Town in a hotel room, Laura was fuming, pacing up and down while Boity was sitting on a sofa opposite the anxious Laura. She had an I don’t care attitude written all over her face.

” Hey, we had a plan which we were supposed to stick to, noooo you chose to do your thing. Do you have any idea what you have done? You’ve ruined all the chances I had with Mr Jones”.

“we were supposed to humiliate her not hurt her, now everyone thinks I did it.”

Laura was very angry not because Ciara was injured but because of the results they got. She was was hoping that by humiliating Ciara, Liam will loose interest and focus on Laura instead.

Well who would want a dirty person anyway, especially one with paint all over their body. She felt that her plan was nothing but fool proof, it had to work. But what she got at the end said otherwise. It ended with someone almost losing her life and an angry Liam who looked at her with contempt and hatred.

Boity nonchalantly took out a nail filer and started filing her nails, it was like she couldn’t be bothered by the things Laura was saying.

“Ciara almost losing her life has got nothing to do with me, it’s not my fault that she could not handle a mere two litre tin.” to Boity Ciara had it coming she had always had the best things since young even granny’s attention was all given to her, she had the best boyfriend which she almost married. But now was Boity’ a turn. It was her turn to take everything Ciara had, her turn to enjoy the love and care Ciara received. She was determined to take it all, even if it meant killing someone, she was more than willing to pay that price.

“relax no one will ever replace out it was us who changed the paint balloon.”

“you.. You are the one who changed it, not us.”

…

It wasn’t long till Liam came back, he had a few boxes with him. He wasn’t sure what to buy so he figured it would be best to buy a little of everything and knowing that his wife like pork ribs, he got a larger box of that.

He placed the food on the side table and then helped her to wash her hands in the bathroom. When they came back she noticed the variety of foods on the table, and smiled in satisfaction. The little foodie in her was woken up as soon as she saw food.

They then ate in silence, someone didn’t mind that at all especially since she was enjoying every dish her husband bought. Once they were done, she looked at him happily and said.

“I better be sick all the time so that I can enjoy all these yummy food”.

. “well if you don’t mind being fat, your husband will treat you to it. But you will have to reward me.”
