The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 54

At this moment at the Jones family residence, no one was aware of the evil plans formed against Ciara. They all enjoyed their Meal in harmony, while cracking jokes here and there. It was just the perfect atmosphere for a family holiday.

After the meal it was their usual habit to gather around the living room and play games or engage in some fun conversations. But this was not the case for Liam and Ciara who decided to take a short stroll around the garden, apparently that was good for digestion. For Ciara though it was quite refreshing, the greenery and different type of roses and other fresh flowers brought her peace in some way. It actually helped her forget for a moment what was happening on the internet. It was like it never happened at all.

“it’s called the miracle garden.” she heard a whisper in her ear and looked at Liam for some explanation.

“Well this garden has been here for quite some decades, at some point it was famous for improving the mood of anyone who entered it. Just that it’s a private property, so not many had the privilege to see it or even go inside…. Who knows maybe they were right, you might just feel better by just being here. “

Ciara smiled and hugged him from the side before responding to him.

” You are right, I feel better already though I doubt that it’s the garden. “

But Liam gave her a questioning look asking her to continue. He himself didn’t believe that a mere garden could help improve his wife’s mood but he was willing to try it out for her sake. But now that she said something else which was not the garden, improved her mood, he was curious to know what it was. “

” Well I’m not denying the fact that flowers bring peace and tranquility, but I think being in your presence itself brightens my life. You keep me calm.”

Hearing that Liam smiled and held closer her by her waist before kissing her passionately. He was content with her answer. They then continued walking for a while before they were disturbed by Azlea who begged Ciara to go out with her. Apparently she wanted to buy a wedding present for her at the nearest mall as they were still newly weds. Although more than 6 months had passed since they got married, to Azlea and the other Jones family members, they were nothing but newly weds as they had just found out about their marriage.

After a while Ciara relented, she agreed to go with Azzy shopping, although they said it would be the nearest mall but from where they lived, the nearest mall was like an hour away.

As Azlea didn’t want her brother tailing them around they got a driver to take them to their destination.

With that Liam went back to the house and decided to chill with his dad for a while, he was actually avoiding his mom who never stop talking. When he got to the study where George was, he found him playing chess alone and asked to join him, and that’s how the competition began.

Meanwhile Ciara and Azlea had arrived at the mall and they were going from shop to shop trying to replace the perfect present but of course bought something from each store they visited.

” You know they say diamonds are a woman’s best friend, come there’s a shop over there let’s check out some necklaces.”

Although that was a suggestion, Ciara was left with no choice to say otherwise as she was already being pulled towards that shop.

Being from one of the richest families in the city, Azlea had a lot of privileges and one of those was a V. I. P Shopping card. Each and every store in this mall is controlled by this card, as they would always close the whole store when she shops. Even so Azzy never liked that treatment so she never took it out unless she’ll be spending a lot in that store. Today was one of those days, when they entered the jewelery shop Azlea showed the sales lady her V. I. P card, which the sales lady immediately locked the doors to give them the private treatment they deserved . Although she looked professional, she was actually over the moon as she knew that she would be making tons of profit from the sale today.

” Nice to see you again miss Jones, how may I be at your service today.” she was all smiles and one would never know that she was all grumpy not so long ago, nobody wants to work on a holiday with no customers, while everyone is enjoying their time with family.

” show us the best necklaces you have, so that we can choose the one we want.”

Not long after that the lady came back with lots of boxes with most expensive tags, even Ciara’s mouth was left opened from all the shock. Never had she ever thought that she would own a necklace that expensive. She wanted to reject the gift but then rejected that thought when she remembered how rich they were. This was probably like buying bread to them.

She picked one for herself and also picked one for Azlea, who ended up buying extra stuff. When they were done, they got ready to go back. They took all their shopping bags back to the car, but Ciara wanted to use the restroom before the hour trip back to the Jones residence.

Azzy waited for Ciara at the parking lot near the entrance while she went to the restroom. In no time she saw Ciara walking back to where she was which was actually next to their car but when she was about 3 cars away suddenly a group of men in black came out of nowhere and grabbed Ciara by force and stuffed her in a black tinted car they were driving and disappeared in no time. All of that happened in a blink of an eye, by the moment it all registered in Azlea’s mind everyone was inside the car and driving away. All she could do was scream.

“Ciara!!!!”.
