Chapter 08

Oliver’s - [P.O.V]

She placed the knife to my neck.

Tears slid from her eyes as she looked at me, so bitter that I existed in her life.

My eyes watered back in return.

Aunt Maltina was dying.

And here I am, almost killed too.

"Ciara." I called her name.

"What's the matter... Get out of my life already!" She shouts in tears and I stared back at her feeling even more bad.

I turned, acting as though I wanted to leave before I turned, kicking the knife out of her hand.

I wish I could tell her the truth.

"Ciara... Did I do something wrong?" I asked her.

"You have a few minutes to leave my sight, and No... Of Course you didn't!" She ironically said in an angry tone before she grabbed a cup of wine while looking at me in rage

"I don't understand babe." I said coming closer to her but she hit my hand off and I stood surprised.

"Don't fucking call me your baby!" She yells.

"Why?" I was confused.

"You want to use me to get money from the family right?" She said looking at her body.

"I feel strange." She adds choking.

"That drink... So... Your goal was to get me drunk and then rape me right?" She looked at me.

"Ciara... I didn't bring the alcohol... You did... And you and we had. Decent." I said in my defence but then she gets up.

"You wanted to take advantage of my Virginity Oliver... Do you know how priceless that was to me?" She asked, upset as she stood in my front looking straight into my eyes.

"But Ciara... Aren't you my wife?" I asked her only for her to land me a slap over my face.

"So that is why you came here... No wonder you get satisfaction staying... From today henceforth... You're not allowed to talk to me again!" She said, looking at me.

"But Ciara..." I said before she interrupted me.

"I don't want to hear anything you have to say... There I was lying... to myself that I was never going to be yours... But here I am... Used." She said to me before laughing like a maniac.

"Ciara!" I said to her and she turned to look at me.

"Don't talk to me." She says to me as she heads into the toilet and refreshes herself.

I got into the huge toilet as well, refreshing myself too before I got out waiting for her to come out.

I needed to talk to her the soonest.

As soon as she got out... I spoke.

"Cora we need to talk?" I said to her.

"I thought we just finished establishing a proper boundary?" She said rudely to me

"You know, It is not really nice to play with your integrity, I never thought you would lie about helping me just because you were trying to get rid of me." I said to her as she looked at me.

"Well you deserve whatever you are facing."

"I wasn't the one that sent you into my life Oliver! I have needs, and to be sincere... You can't afford my needs Oliver."

"I have to marry someone of my status if not... They might be serious issues." She tried talking to me but I didn't listen to her.

"That wasn't what I wanted to talk about." I said to her.

"Really... What is it then?" She asked.

"I need the money Ciara... My aunty is about to die." I said to her as she walked closer to me.

"Since you insist... I will tell you how to get the money." She said to me and I opened my ears to listen to her as she came closer to my ears.

"Sign a divorce!" She said before pushing me off her way as she headed to dress up.

Ciara was not going to help me either.

I wondered what other way that I could save my auntie's life.

Staying in the house felt like I was living a fake life as my aunty Maltina is out there dying.

A knock gets heard over the door and Ciara heads to open the door in return.

"Ciara, Granny wants to hold a meeting about her next successor, you must be present in fifteen minutes time." Ciara's mother said before she looked further in and her eyes met with me bare chested.

Then she looks at Ciara who turns to look at me in disgust. I looked like a disgrace to them.

Her mother then leaves and Ciara turns to look at me.

"Well... Is this how you want to meet up with granny at the family hall today?" She asked while I was putting on just a towel.

"Of Course not." I replied back to her removing the towel which revealed my early morning hardness and she turns to look away.

I soon dressed up looking casual.

Ciara dressed up in her suit as well.

Then she led the way as I followed her from behind looking at her clearly mad shape.

Could it be... All her words yesterday night were as a result of the alcohol she had earlier drank?

She was actually ready to kill me.

Different thoughts began to go through my head, I was feeling unstable.

But they didn't last long as there was only one thing ringing inside... Over and over again.

The life of my aunty.

It was at serious stake here.

We soon reached the family parlour.

I looked to see Ciara's relatives who were all seated from different corners.

Granny was not yet present.

She was the boss so I guess she could come at the time that she felt pleased to come.

Then the entrance door opens and it's Auduson.

Our both eyes meet and I could tell that he could see fire in my eyes.

The bastard was admiring Ciara's shape in her hot looking suite.

Something that actually annoyed me.

I wanted to delete him from her history if I could.

She's my wife isn't it!
