Chapter 41 - After Five Days

After Five Days


George's POV


"Would you just please calm down"

"Huh?" she hits the table they both sat on

"I said -"

"No" she interrupts him "I've been trying to reach her for the past three days and you this your ass here to tell me to calm down" she stood up in anger to leave

"You don't have to be so dramatic all the time" George slammed her

"You don't have to be so selfish you fool" she spits it out

"What did you just call me?" George stood and went close to her

She knew that look, she had just pushed his button "Would you rather I spell it out for you?" she folds her arms

He couldn't hold it anymore, he gave her a slap on her soft skin, something he had vowed not to ever do "Don't you ever call me that again, I am your husband and I deserve that respect from you, would you just sit and listen to me so that we can resolve this issue"

She touched her face, feeling the heart beat on her face from the gushing slap she received from George, she looked at him with so much desire to kill him right that moment "I won't" she said with her shaky voice, trying hard to show that confidence "It's because she is not Helsi" tears finally found their way to her cheek "I…" she raised her index finger finding words to say in tears but couldn't

"Look, I'm sorry" he went further close to her to touch her

"Don't" she shouted in pain "Don't" she repeated and walked to her room

"Mary" he called her, he felt terribly bad for what he had just done "I'm sorry" he followed her to the room

He could hear her cry from the room

He went close to the close, hesitated a little to just processed everything and how he would resolve it, then he twist the knob to open the door

"Leave me alone" she cried "You don't care" she added

She sat sober on the bed, squeezing every linen of her cloth to her chest, thinking of her daughter and wondered if she made a grave mistake by running away with George and leaving her on her own

"I do" he went to her on the bed "Please" he touches her thighs to let go of her cloth which she held tight to her chest

"Why then do you act like you don't, you know she always reach out to me every morning either through a call or email, I see my grandson every morning"


"I know, she might be busy or something" George said

"Busy for how many days?… I'm worried" she tried to wipe out the creepy thoughts coming through her head "And to make situation worse, that mother fucker isn't picking up too?" she got mad

"David?"

"Who else," She rolled her eyes "I never wanted him for Racheal but that girl won't just listen, so stubborn like her mother"

"Well… " George smiled, he knew he was the calm type and they had argued on who Racheal carried her attitude and stubbornness from "At Least we've agreed on something" he smiled more

"What?" she laughed "I didn't mean to say that" she waved her hands in the air

"Yes you did" he laughed

"No I did not, she took her stubbornness from you" she now puts the blame on him

"Alright" he looked at her with so much love "I love you like this"

She gave a deep sigh "Yeah" she said, going for a hug "Thank you"

"For what?" he hugged her tight

"For coming around" she finally let go of him "Can you do something for me?"

"Alright, what's that?" he pulls her back to him

"Woah" she laughs "I…" she gave one of those her looks when she was guilty for something

"Spill it out" he said

"I want to go over to see her" She knew how much he hated those words

"You know that-"

"I do" she didn't let him finish his statement

"I just want to be sure that she is Ok" she said quickly

He got out of her arms as he stood away "You know that this would complicate us"

"I would just complicate me, I would be the only one going not you so you don't have to join me"

"How would it not complicate me?" he asked

"I don't know, I just want to see my baby"

"I can call on other people to reach her, you don't have to go this extreme" George replied

"Gosh George, why didn't you say this in the very beginning? Why did you wait until we had argued before bringing up this idea?"

"You wouldn't let me speak"

"That's not true, I gave you several opportunities to do so but you did not" Mary responded

"I'm thinking of how I would contact my men over there without traces left to me" his hand ran through his hair

"Just tell them, don't they know that Racheal is your child?"

"They do"

"Then it shouldn't be a problem" Mary said

"Yeah" George turned to the door to leave the room

"Thanks again" she said at the top of her voice right before he left the room

She had some sense of relief, she had vowed that if she didn't hear from Racheal in five days, she was going to fly over to her country whether George sits well with it or not. Besides he should if he cares

After giving it several thoughts and tried reaching out again to her several times but still to no avail, she walked down to the kitchen to eat something, she just realised that she haven't eaten after trying to reach Racheal several times earlier in the day but couldn't

"Add mine too please"

"What exactly?" She turned to him

"My meal, I'm hungry too, you have literally been in a bad mood since and you refused to prepare so for your husband so I'm hungry, I haven't eaten something reasonable" he yawns touching his stomach

"Can you just imagine?" She laughs "What if I was sick?" she asked

"That's a different scenario, I'm a good chef, don't mistake me, I'm just tired as well"
