The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 58

By that time Matthew had already been prepared and had done all the necessary things he was asked to do in order to keep Laura away from hurting Ciara again.

” yeah, she will be in a psychiatric hospital in city D. She wouldn’t be able to be discharged unless we sign those release papers for her.”

Knowing that the woman wouldn’t be hurting his wife again Liam acknowledged with a nod as he was also satisfied with the outcome. Nobody messes with his family and gets away with it so easily.

They left everything to be handled by Larry and the head of security as they returned to Liam’s place to relax as it had been a very stressful day. They relaxed over some whiskey and cigars and a chilled conversation, listening to them now, one would swear nothing traumatic had happened that very day. This was probably their way of getting over things.

As it was now very late at night Finnick and Matthew didn’t stay long at all they had to leave.

It wasn’t until the next day that Ciara woke up, to her surprise she was now in the bed and Liam was lying right next to her with his eyes closed. She took the time to admire the man who had saved her life countless times, the only man she could rely on and most probably the only person aside from her friends, who genuinely cared about her. She found herself gently brushing her hand on his cheek and gave him a light peck before whispering.

” Thank you. ”

Liam’s lips curved in to a smile as he slowly opened his eyes.

” anything for you sweetheart. ”

He then lazily wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him.

” let’s rest for a while, don’t go. ”

Ciara’s trauma from the previous day should be trigger when Liam pulled her in so unexpectedly, but she too was surprised by how she reacted. Instead of being scared to her wits, she actually found comfort in his arms. That was her safest place, in Liam’s arms.

They cuddled for a short while before Ciara’s stomach gave her out, it made a loud rumbling sound, telling Liam that she was extremely hungry. Ciara was so embarrassed by her tummy that she wanted to hide, she herself did not feel hungry. But she could be lying to herself as her tummy said otherwise.

Liam let go of her, and went to the bathroom to freshen up, leaving Ciara behind who thought Liam probably left the room because he was annoyed by the sound of her rumbling stomach.

Not long after that, Liam came back in the room with only a towel wrapped around his wet body.

” Are you not going to freshen up so that we could go down for breakfast? ”

” owh ” _” …. ‘

Ciara who had been buried under the blankets, shot up and ran straight to the bathroom to wash herself up. By the time she got there, she noticed her cheeks had gone red as she was still embarrassed by the whole situation.

“arg Ciara what is wrong with you, why can’t you get yourself together.”

She said that as she slapped both sides of her cheeks. She took her time to get ready and then headed down to the dining area where she found Liam sitting, waiting patiently for her to come and join him. As soon as she sat down Ms Nicky emerged from the kitchen with their warm food and placed it on the table, and they started filling their stomachs.

” How are you feeling now? ”

When it comes to his wife’s well-being Liam will always put her first, and at this moment he did not care about any table manners. He just wanted to know how she was handling everything and how she was coping with all that has happened.

Ciara paused for a second, maybe she was probably trying to digest the question or it had caught her off guard.

” uhm I guess I’m fine, nothing really happened to me, so I’m just trying to forget about everything and hope that it would never happen again. ”

” it’s a good thing to try to move past what happened but also remember that if you need to talk about it I’m here for you. I don’t want you to go back to work while you’re still carrying a lot of burden on you.”

”hubby, thank you!! ”

Liam who was about to put a spoon of porridge in his mouth paused then looked at Ciara in a confused yet surprised manner.

” what did you just say? ”

” Well I said thank you, I’m really grateful to have someone like you in my life, someone who truly cared about my well being and who’s protective of me and one that I could rely on . So for that, thank you. ”

” No No not that, the first part. What did you call me? ”.

Apon hearing that Ciara face palmed herself for being an idiot. After such a long speech, all this man cared for, was how I addressed him ‘arg’.

” what’s wrong with it? I said hubby. ”

” say it again. ”

‘hubby…. Uuuh!! ‘

She couldn’t even finish what she was about to say when Liam lifted her up from her chair and was currently sitting on his lap while he kissed her.

Right at that moment moment a group of foot steps could be heard approaching them coming from the main entrance.
