Chapter 63: a shot at making things right

JORDAN

I frowned and stared at the woman who seemed shocked at what I said.

“I can make you happy, and I would do that because you deserve it. I can make a good husband, I willgive you all you want and treat you better”

“And Samantha?” She asked me and I smiled.

“I might not be able to send her to prison but I would send her away. She would no longer live in ourhouse and you would not have to put up with her. And I promise, she would not be able to hurt you aswell” I said with relief in my heart. But for some reason, Genesis still had a frown on her face. It seemedlike she wasn’t satisfied with all I was willing to do and that bothered me.

“You don’t look happy” I simply said to her.

“Of course I am not happy, what makes you think I want to return to you?” She said and I frowned.

“But you said…”

“I said what I said but that doesn’t mean I would return. You can move the mountain if you want, I stillwouldn’t return to you” she said dryly and my heart dropped. I stared at her speechless and unable tosay a word anymore. I thought she wanted this, I thought she would consider it and come back andeverything would change but I guess I was fooling myself.novelbin

“What else do you want?” I asked her.

“A divorce… I want out of this marriage and out of your life” she stated and my heart ached at thatthought.

“That’s exactly what I want. Give me that, it’s the only thing I want” she added. I don’t know why myheart ached at that thought, the thought of letting her go was possible, I could make it work and damnthe consequences but that thought was hurtful. I couldn’t let her go that way, how could I? How could Inot?

“I don’t want to do that?” I simply said.

“This marriage is all in shambles can’t you see? You wanted me out of your life from the beginning,now I am giving you all you can to make that work. It’s possible, the happy life you want to make withSamantha is right in front of you, please take it and let me be” she said. I sighed heavily and foundmyself the nearest seat.

I said nothing and relaxed my head in my hands because my headache became even worse. It wasquiet and I honestly didn’t have what to say anymore to her. I remained that way for a while and I didn’tsay a thing nor did she say anything as well.

“Genesis……” Someone suddenly yelled from the door and I could swear I recognized the voice andjerked.

“Mom…..” Genesis replied and my fears was confirmed immediately. I stood up from where I sat downwhen the door opened and Mrs. Abigail came running into the room. I stood apprehensively and staredat her as she stared at her daughter.

“Genesis…” She called out again but Genesis remained where she was and didn’t move from the spot.She stared at her mother, frightened and scared.

“My daughter….” Mrs. Abigail called and opened her arms. Genesis ran into her arms instantly like ascared little girl and they embraced themselves tightly. Then tears came running down their cheeks asthey both cried bitterly. Guilt filled my heart again and I could only imagine the mind of pain they havebeen through, the pain that I caused myself.

“Why didn’t you come home?” Mrs. Abigail asked just at the same time that Mr. Connor came in. Hiseyes met mine and I quickly looked away, ashamed of myself and what I had done.

“I was ashamed…I am so ashamed mom” Genesis said and pulled away from her mother’s embrace.

“What exactly are you ashamed of?” The father snapped and all attention turned to him.

“Dad…..”

“We are your family, your only family. Who else would you run to if it isn’t to your family? Have webecome so little to take care of you?” He yelled and tears came running down her eyes.

“How can you be ashamed when you did absolutely nothing wrong? The one who should be ashamedshould be your cheating husband and not you” he said and my heart dropped to the lowest.

“I’m sorry…” She cried and just as she did with her mother, she ran into his arms while I stood andwatch.

It took a long time of shedding tears from them all and it was only then I realized the harm I had done tonot just one person but the entire family. I have done worse than I thought I would ever do and I wishedI could take back everything, I wished I could rewind the hand of time and stop an entire family fromshedding tears because I had hurt their daughter. I felt twice as worse as I had felt earlier and mydetermination to make things right again tripled.

I dropped every single pride I had and went on my knees again. I didn’t care about anything elseneither did I care about the name I had or what came with it. All I cared about was just making thingsright and I was determined to do that.

When they turned their gaze to me, I felt apprehensive and wondered if I would ever get a chance tomake it right.

“And what are you doing?” The voice of Mr. Connor came harsh and cold.

“I know kneeling this way would not take the pain I caused you or your family away” I started, feelingstupid myself. .

“But I want to make things right and take away all this pain I caused”

“I don’t know what else I can say but please, can you find it in your heart to forgive me” I pleaded. Noneof them said a single word to me, and that scared me.

“I will do anything to make things right again by her, I promise. I was misled and I misunderstood whoyour daughter truly was till it was too late. But I am ready now, I am,” I added.

“I don’t think my daughter wants to be with you anymore,” Mr. Connor said to me.

“You can have your money, we will find a way to pay back the money that was used for Ava’soperation” he added and I shook my head.

“With all due respect sir, I wouldn’t allow that” I felt them glare at me at that.

“I don’t want anyone paying for anything neither would I even think of taking back everything that hasbeen given to you even if I grant you a divorce. I was never aware of the conditions that my mother

gave you before marrying me and I would never ask for you to repay anything. But I would not grant adivorce either”

“Why are you doing this? Has my daughter not suffered enough from you?” Mrs. Abigail yelled.

“Because I want to be a good husband, your daughter had always deserved better and I want to giveher a better and happier life,”

“I want to be able to wipe these memories away from her heart and be the best husband I can even ifit’s just for a short period. Please give me another chance?”
