The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 33

When Liam got home that evening he noticed that it was very quiet with no sign of Ciara anywhere, he went to their bedroom to have a look and noticed that was also not there. When he came back downstairs that was when Ms Nicky the only live in maid in the house told him that Ciara was at the roof top and had been there for the past four to five hours. She too had no idea what she was doing at the roof top, as Ciara had clearly asked not to be disturbed and would come down on her own.

When Liam got to the Roof top he noticed the half empty bottle of wine on a small table not far from the woman, the space around her was a bit untidy and Ciara was so focused on what she was doing that she didn’t notice the presence of Liam when he got there.

Looking at the small bottles of paint scattered around the floor, Liam could tell that she was painting something,. He walked closer to her so that he could get a clear view of what ever it is that she was painting. By now the painting had came to life, what he saw as he came closer was two people, a man and a woman hugging each other standing on what seemed to be a dance floor. There groups of people around them who were also dancing. The room was a bit dark and if you know the building you automatically know that this was Crowded place, the very place where Liam and Ciara met. The two people in an embrace were no other than Liam Jones and Ciara Williams, they were even wearing the same clothes they wore that night when they first met.

Looking at the painting he felt a warm unfamiliar sensation rising from his abdomen to his chest area, he smiled. This was the very day that he met this woman the day that he made the most rash decision of his life, and he does not regret it one bit. All the memories from that night started flowing through his mind like an angry river.

It was indeed his wildest night to date. He was the man who only focused on business and things that paid alot of money the top dog in the business world, so that night was a total opposite of what he was known for.

He felt that meeting Ciara had brought light in his ever so boring, gloomy life. He now had someone to talk to, laugh at and spend his money on. With that in mind he made a note in his head.

“you are back?.” now that he was closer to where she was, she was able to smell his ever so unique woody scent.

“yeah I just got here.”

She put down her paint brush and tray then stood up, turned around and hugged her husband.

“You missed me?. “

“yeah, but tell how did it go?, was it only just dinner with family or did they invite someone for you to date?”

“Well everything was fine before your cousin arrived to deliver a box to my mom.” he then we

went on to relay what had happened that night, from when Maggie started to openly investigate Annie to her forcing Liam to send Annie home in hopes that they would bond further. In Maggie’s eyes Annie was already part of the family and was on her way to becoming Mrs Jones.

In the end, when Liam finished tell her about his evening, Ciara’s face was now gloomy and she felt that she had to voice out her feelings.

“I honestly don’t like this at all, you really need to get your mother to stop. It’s now getting out of hand”.

“well sweetheart only you can stop all this madness, meaning we will have to reveal our relationship status.”

No not yet, she was not yet ready for all the opinions and criticism she might receive once everyone replace out but their marriage it’s better this way, it’s much safer if only a few know. So sharing this piece of news is just not going to happen any time soon. She still need to work hard, she wants to be on par with Liam she want to be worthy to be his wife, and be able to proudly stand beside him know that she had worked hard for what she had and where she was at that time in her career. That way no one will dare look down on her.

“it’s not yet the time, but I really feel disrespected by your mom. I know she means well and she knows nothing about us. So how about you give me a year, just one year to work hard and be able to proudly stand beside you as your wife, without feeling like I’m a trophy wife who knows nothing but to spend my husband’s money. Just one year OK?. “

Liam knew she wasn’t any of that, he knows that she had worked hard to get where she was today, was able to purchase a very nice home, although the apartment was simple and not too big but it was located in a fairly good neighborhood. The most important thing is that she bought it on her own without the help of her family. But no one knows this and she had to prove it on her own. So he agreed to her plee.

“fine I’ll try to get my mom to slow down at least for this coming year, then we can announce it.”
