Chapter 22: You are mistaken
Jenny arrives home, she must get evidence and get her uncle and Aunt arrested. How can Uncle Patrick be so mean, to do this to his own brother? They caused the accident that claimed her father’s life and left her mother in a coma.
No wonder, the day after she was married to Eduardo, the doctor told her that her mother was showing signs of recovery. Only for her to be called that her mother was not going to make it. Arriving at the hospital, she had died and her remains cannot be found.
It was all masterminded by her uncle and his wife. This world is evil and humans are cruel. She sank into the sofa and sobbed. She couldn’t control her tears until Elena James came to check on her.
“You’ve cried enough ma’am. Please don’t hurt yourself any more than you have done” she consoled and came to sit next to her. She held Jenny and pulled her into a hug.
Jenny might be the boss woman but she appeared more open and easy going towards the employee. That’s very unlike what they have heard about her before she arrived.
Jenny cleaned her tears and smiled through it. She said she will be fine henceforth. She decided there and then that she would become strong and dependent if she’s to fight against those who caused her so much pain and tears.
Who made her father go six feet and her mother hospitalised for years before being to be with her father. They made her an orphan after ensuring they welded their daughter away from being married to Eduardo, the cripple bachelor.
All they did was to ensure that their daughter Betty should be the one to marry Eduardo. She was older than Betty and her parents controlled the family’s wealth. So they felt naturally, she would be the one engaged to the eldest master of the Anderson family.
But fate worked against them and Eduardo also was involved in an accident that made him unable to use his legs anymore. They were ashamed and hence made her marry him.
They should have stopped there but went ahead and murder her mother. That was too much for her to take in and be quiet. She must find evidence to nail them and have them prosecuted, husband, wife and their daughter.
Elena saw Jenny smile despite the tears in her eyes and that made her feel calm. She smiled back at her and they jugged each other.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“The elder master called and told me you would be joining him for dinner with his parents. I’m happy you are getting to meet your in-laws officially. They are a lovely family Ma’am and I think you are lucky to be Eldest master’s wife” Elena James said.
Jenny turned and stared at her sharply. She is lucky to be Eduardo’s wife? The same man who treated her so mean and full of arrogance when he talked with her. He’s the one she should count herself lucky to be married to.
” Do you really know what you are saying? Eduardo is the meanest man I have ever seen” Jenny said and inwardly corrected herself. Her uncle Patrick should be the meanest man she had ever known and not Eduardo per say.
Elena James shook her head in disagreement. She smiled and held Jenny’s hand. ” You are mistaken ma’am. Eldest master has a heart of gold. The content of his heart is pure and he is a lovable person.
Those harsh words, hot temper are not his thing, that is not his true self. He is kind. This is a secret I am telling you. I’m sure he doesn’t know that I cannot be intimidated by his temperament, and that is because I have known him for years.
If you understand him, you will see through him. He is transparent and can easily be open to those closer to him. You are lucky ma’am, honestly you are and I congratulate you” Elena disclosed.
Jenny just stares at her. She cannot totally disagree with him considering how he treated her during their wedding. He even brought her home and offered her a first aid kit to treat herself. But is that really true?
Elena nodded in affirmation of what she just said when she saw the looks on Jenny. She smiled and said ” I shall dress you for dinner then” She said and stood up. Jenny watched her as she went away.
“… Madam’s mother is called Temisa. She wasn’t really in a coma, she was forced to remain in a state where she is helpless. Some poisonous substance in the form of toxins had been injected into her.
First the doctor said her system needs to be drained of that toxin and that already has done. With the heavy treatment and care, she might be alright soon” Eric explained. The doctor has always been in touch with him over the treatment of Me Temisa Davis.
Eduardo nodded. He said he wants to know about everything that happened. Eric should keep giving him updates about it. Who was holding her back in a coma? Is there anything the fellow wants from her?
Eric said okay and was going to leave when the midwife sent a message to Eric. She remembered seeing someone on that day. Maybe that would help.
Eric relayed the message to Eduardo and he told him to go and see her because he was going to have dinner with his wife at the Anderson Mansion. His parents were yet to meet her.
Eric smiled. The boss is learning to be a proper husband now. He said ok. When he takes him to the Anderson Mansion and knows he would be with those that love him. Then he can leave him there and go to see the midwife.
When Eduardo left the company, for the first time since he was married to Jenny, he called her cell phone number. He waited till the phone stopped ringing and Jenny didn’t answer the phone.
When he called her again, Jenny answered her phone. As her Feminine voice came from the other end, Eduardo felt attracted to that voice. Her voice sounds sweet to his ears.
“I am coming over to pick you up for dinner” Eduardo stated. He waited for her to object but her Feminine voice came to hia hearing again, saying ok. When the call ended, Eduardo squinted. Looks like his wife is obedient now.
Jenny got dressed. She was going to meet Eduardo’s parents for the first time and Elena already told her they are good people. She wants to appear good so they can welcome her as Eduardo’s wife. The position of Eduardo’s wife as the eldest madam of the Anderson family won’t last long with her. She really hoped to divorce him soon.
But in the meantime, she yearns to be loved. She doesn’t have anyone who really cares about her. She’s an orphan and her supposed family were the ones who made her orphaned. And made to marry Eduardo, she didn’t get to be loved, because she wasn’t the one he looked forward to getting married to.
Now that she is going to see his parents, she doesn’t know what awaits her. Maybe she will be welcomed and loved or maybe not, she doesn’t know. She may win their hearts or she may lose. She can’t tell.
But she wished to win. She wants to be loved. She hoped what Elena said would be true. She’s gradually forgetting what it’s like to be loved. It’s been a long time since she experienced such a feeling after her father died and her mother was hospitalised.
She got one of the expensive dresses that Eduardo stuck in her wardrobe when they got married. She needs to look good to be appreciated.
She applied her make-up and styled her hair into a fish tail before putting on her earrings. Her ratings matched with the pendax of her necklace. She is not good in high heels but puts on a stiltoes which are moderately high.
When she looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn’t help but see a different face. Her anxiety was covered up in that makeup. She looked exquisite, pretty and attractive. She sure wasn’t looking this good on her wedding with Eduardo.
By the time Eduardo’s chauffeur drove into the compound and her husband called her to come out, he was waiting for her, she was already descending the stairs gently like an elegant woman.
The door to his Mansion opened and Eduardo raised his head from the computer he was working on to look at the approaching woman, he was shocked at her appearance. Is this Jenny or her look alike?
The beautiful woman walking toward him in a blue coloured dinner gown. Her hair was well styled and glittering. Her lips, her makeup and the graceful steps she was taking, walking toward him, he can’t help but sighed softly.
This is beautiful coupled with curvy shape. His idea of a perfect woman. Of someone he hopes to fall in love with someday. He felt attracted to her and he liked her immediately.
Jenny walked to the car and Eduardo’s bodyguard came forward, bowed slightly before the boss woman and held the door for her to sludein. Jenny waved at him as he bowed and carefully slid into the car.
She felt like the princess of some great kingdoms. She felt highly respected to have a bodyguard bow and hold the door for her. When she got in, she saw Eduardo sitted on the other end of the passenger seat.
The bodyguard shut the door again and the sweet fragrance coming from Jenny’s body filled the car. The smell of Eduardo’s perfume mixed with Jenny’s gave a welcoming smell in the car.
Eduardo bought the feminine type of his perfume for Jenny. But she never touched anything he bought for her after the wedding except that day. And now that the Feminine and the male type of a perfume mixes together, it gives a perfect romantic atmosphere.
Eric was behind the steering. He inhaled the smell. The combination was awesome. How great it would be for Eduardo and Jenny to get bonded in true love and enjoy a great romantic moment.
“Hello Eduardo” Jenny threw him a glance and looked away, sitting comfortably and placing bher crutch beside her.
“Hello Wify. You look great” he complimented and a faint smile crossed his lips. He had told himself that he wasn’t going to be hard on her. It’s not like he enjoys the game life he was living at the time. But he had to keep pretending until he’s able to achieve his aim.
“Thank you” Jenny shyly answered. She didn’t even look toward him but was looking outside through the tinted glass. Eduardo can tell that she is shy and doesn’t want to meet his gaze.
Eric started the car when suddenly, Jenny remembered something. She glanced at Eduardo and asked ” Can you do me a favour?” She requested without looking at his face but at his fingers which were working on the computer.
“Anything wife” Eduardo tried, this time he didn’t look in her direction but concentrated on his computer. She is why, he wouldn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable.
“Tell me what kind of presents your parents would appreciate?” Jenny asked and Eduardo’s hand paused. It was literally suspended in the air as he gently turned to glance at her:
Martin was stamping his feet on the floor. What nonsense? How can Rodrigo do that to his wife? Whatever he felt she had done, he can’t just disgrace his wife, his future mother-in-law and finance like that.
The internet was flooding with the news. Several comments were coming and calls were coming in as we. This had never happened to any member of Kim’s family before.
The scandal was too terrible. His wife appears like a mentally sick woman and Emma, not being able to help herself from the floor from the way Rodrigo’s bodyguard had thrown her away. These women were his jewels of an estimable price.
He tried to get the news deleted. But the lore he tried, the more new ones popped up again. Thaibis humiliating and a dent on his personality and status. This is something he cannot take.
The doctor examined them and said they both are fine. They Need to take some painkillers and that’s all. But Emma had not stopped sobbing. How can a man do this to her?
A man she was going to be married to. He had no regard or respect to hear at all. Because of that trash he was going about, he did this to her? She would make him regret what he did to her and her mother.
She definitely wouldn’t be able to step out of the door in months. The shame and ridicule will be too much for her to bear. She sobbed and her mother kept consoling her.
Ella was feeling bad but her feelings were nothing compared with Emma. How can it be said that a man she was going to be engaged with actually did this to her?
But she will revenge this shame in a bigger measure. She will ensure that he and that thing he goes about with will be separated and he would hate her as much as he hated Emma now. That is the promise she made to herself.
While Martin was fuming for rage, Rodrigo’s grandfather was yelling and getting even with him…
