The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 59

‘ I don’t understand though how could that woman be so heartless, why would she bring such a calamity to another woman. ”

” I swear to God, if anything happened to Ciara I will kill that woman with my own two hands. Mark my words. “

” You shouldn’t be negative, we are here to see how she is, don’t add on to the burden she’s currently carrying, OK.”

Yeap these were Ciara’s friends and some people from the Jones’ family, they were all here to see how Ciara was doing and be there for her during her healing process. They actually wanted to come as soon as they found out that Liam had rescued her but he advised them otherwise as Ciara still needed to rest.

Now as they walked in the house they were all shocked to see the person who was supposed to be traumatized and probably wrapped up in a blanket and wouldn’t leave the room, seating on Liam’s lap all lovey-dovey.

As soon as Ciara saw the people arguing in front of her, she jumped straight up and stood on her two feet. She was actually embarrassed to be seen by her mother in law while she was in that state with Liam whom she gave a light punch as punishment.

” Hey, we were here to check up on you, but seems like we are disturbing something. We will call you later OK.”

That was Lisa who felt very awkward after she had seen her friend being intimate with the man they actually respected the most.

” No no, you didn’t disturb anything at all, come on, have a sit I’ll ask Ms Nicky to bring you guys a plate. ”

She was about to call the maid when Ms Nicky showed up with a couple more plates in her hand while the other maids helped her bring out more food for the guests.

” Aunt Mag I’m really sorry for bringing you trouble. ”

” silly girl, how were you in control of everything that had happened? In fact you are the victim here, I’m the one who’s supposed to be sorry for not protecting you as your Aunt and also your mother in law. How are you feeling now, do you need to see someone to talk about it? ”

Maggie smiled as she tenderly looked at Ciara, she was happy that nothing had happened to her but also sad that Ciara had to go through all of that by herself.

” I’m OK now, I just wish to forget about it and continue with my life. ”

” Are you sure? They say things have a way of crowling back to your life later on if you don’t deal with it properly. ”

” I’d like to think that I’ve dealt with it. Owh you should have seen me yesterday hihihi you wouldn’t even be able to recognize me at all, I’m still shocked at how Liam here was able to stay with me through it. So no ma’am, I’m good. ”

She tried to lighten up the conversation and it proven to have worked as everyone laughed and joked about it. They said all jokes about the two, but also tried not say things that would trigger Ciara or make her think about the events of the previous day.

” To even think that people think so highly of that vixen. Just give me one day with her and I will teach her not to mess with wrong people in the future. ”

” Do you think she has the courage to show herself in public now, I bet her acting career is as good as over now. ”

Azzy who had been quiet all this while rose up and spoke.

” I think we need to celebrate, let’s celebrate Ciara’s safe return, celebrate life and forget about all the painful events. What do you think Ciara? ”

But before Ciara could respond Maggie reprimanded her daughter, she felt that it wasn’t appropriate for them to be having fun while Ciara was suffering and going through the most. Although Ciara seemed fine she thought that she was putting up a front, maybe because she didn’t want them to worry.

” No Azlea, Ciara here needs to rest. She’s been through a lot, and celebrating is not what she needs.”

” Actually aunt Magg, I think Azzy is right. I need to be around the people that matters the most to me, I need to be happy and free. ” she then looked at Liam and smiled before continuing with her sentence.

” I need to forget, maybe you can help me forget it. Please allow me to be free today and forget everything that’s happening around us.”

Liam was about to reject the celebration idea as the doctor had said she needed to rest and he also cared about her health but when Ciara begged him to help her forget, that reminded him of the night they met. ‘Help me forget.’ were her words from that night. So he decided to go along with their suggestion.

“fine but it will not be a full on party but us getting together and relaxing over some snacks and drinks but none alcoholic drinks for you. ”

His voice was sturn so much so that no one had the courage to say otherwise, besides he had only said, only Ciara wasn’t allowed to have alcoholic beverages, so that didn’t affect the two at all.

Since that was settled Liam invited his buddies, so he wouldn’t be the only male in the house. And the others went out to get some snacks while Maggie busied herself in the kitchen with Ms Nicky.

They were all occupied with the task at hand that they even forgot about the threat Wilson had made two days ago.
