The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 69

” Love back? , what do you mean by that?… Dexter you humiliated me, and left me without a reason, I had to be the one who cancels the wedding. Do you know how humiliating that was for me, I guess not coz you’ll never be in my shoes.”

Although all this bickering reminded her of all the humiliating moments she had when Dexter dumped her using a text message, and how she was the subject of gossip among her co-workers and those they had invited. She still kept her cool and did not shed a single tear. To her this proved that she was way over Dexter and had mourned her relationship with him, hence why she didn’t feel anything for him.

She then opened the door and was ready to hop in to the car when Dexter tightened his grip on her.

All that sincere apology and repentance evaporated through the air, as his facial expression changed.

” Where do you think you are going Ciara, I told you I was sorry and am not leaving here without you. One way or the other you will love me.”

Ciara’s eyes widened in shock, she was wondering what he meant with his statement. Is she being kidnapped again or what?

” Dexter be clear, what do you want from me”.

Now her voice was stern as she asked him.

” I want you to be my wife, I told you that I love you Ciara, I’m now a new man and today we are getting our marriage certificate.” although he was saying all these sweet things, his voice though, said otherwise. You could tell by just looking at his face that what he was claiming was totally against his feelings.

” To hell with that. Why would I want to Marry you after all that you’ve put me through. Heck I don’t even want to see you.”

This infuriated Dexter as he was listening to her comment and lost his cool.

“why won’t you , Is it because of that man Liam? How is he better than me, is it because of his money because I know for sure he doesn’t love you like that. A man like him use girls like you. It’s just a matter of time till he dispose of you. I’m just doing the both of you a favor. “

Ciara immediately yanked her hand off as she said her words in greeted teeth.

” Too bad, I would rather be played and used by him than to be with you. I would much rather die in his hands than to suffer in your presence. “

As her words dropped Dexter again pulled Ciara away from her car.

” we are going to see about that, but right now we’re going to register our marriage and you will be my wife. “

” And I would like to see you try, touch my woman and you shall pay with your life.”

A deep threatening voice was heard coming from behind Dexter, he was so focused on finishing his mission that he failed to notice when they had company. The deep voice left the cunning Dexter shaking, he didn’t think that Liam will show up while he was there. He felt that his plan was well strategised that there was little to no chance of it failing. He thought if they were to get married quickly by the time Liam replaces out he would surely be disgusted by Ciara and probably leave her for good.

Right now Liam was holding Ciara closely by her waist and looking at Dexter with his raised eyebrow.

” You must be mistaken here Mr Jones but Ms Williams right here is my fiance and we were planning on getting our marriage certificate today at the marriage registry court, before you interrupted us.”

As a man, Dexter couldn’t allow his ego and pride to be destroyed in front of another man like that, so he chose to stick to his story and make it seem like Ciara and him were in a relationship. He thought one way or another Liam will leave Ciara especially now that he had revealed that he was seeing Ciara behind Liam’s back. But as he spoke Ciara layed her head on Liam’s shoulders as if she was sure of Liam’s reaction after this bom was dropped by Dexter.

Right on the top floor of the building, one of Ciara’s co-workers happened to be printing something, using a printer that was located near the floor to ceiling windows and saw what was happening on the streets below.

” Hey guys I told you Ciara might be married to Mr Jones, look at how cousy they are. Mr Jones looks like he is claiming what is his in front of that man.”

Immediately all the female employees came rushing to the window so that they too can witness the scene. Some were happy for her but a few still hated her as their jealousy and envy grew. They wanted to be her, and have everything that she had. Now that she had the highest status in the company most of them felt remorseful to Ciara for treating her the way they did.

When Liam heard what Dexter just said, he laughed a little before asking him a question.

” fiancé you say?” although he still had a smile on his face, one couldn’t help but hear the seriousness in his voice. But Dexter off cause thought he had nothing to lose.

” Yeah we have been engaged for over a year now.”

Now all the smile was wiped off, of Liam’s face as a deadly aura surrounded him and looked at Dexter with b***d shot eyes.
