All Chapters of Wrong Marriage, Perfect Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

NathanI pick up my buzzing phone.“Brian?”“How are you, Sir?”I shake my head. Brian has been calling every time Amari is not nearby. I am starting to think that all he does these days is surveilling James, following my wife and calling me. “Still fine, as I was an hour ago,” I say, amused and he laughs.“Mrs Lord is fine. The scoundrel has moved out of the apartment.”“He did?”“Yes, Sir.”“Why?”I am happy that James will be far away from us, but it seems odd that he would move away from Amari.“Your aged friends chased him away. It was quite funny. That Mrs Gail is fierce, she knocked him with her walking stick before others joined in. Dude ran with his tail between his legs.”I burst out in laughter. I can imagine how funny that was. “I hope you have the footage,” I say with my fingers crossed.“Of course, Sir.”“Send it to me, please.”A few minute later, I am cracking up in the ward like a crazy man. James would have been very stupid to retaliate against a mob of old men and

Nathan“Babe, I am taking a walk,” I shout out to Amari, and leave the apartment. I immediately notice Brian’s car on the opposite street when I come out of the yard. He gets to the point the moment I open the door and slip inside.“I must say, I was very skeptical when you told me to hire the guy. Long prison record and he looks like a thug. I was certain that he will steal everything he came across,” Brian confesses. “But you were right as always. Someone did try to kill you and Paul is a genius, Sir,” he adds. “I feel so ashamed when I look at him now. I was a superficial ass.”“Don’t beat yourself up, mate. I don’t think I would have given Paul a chance had I not experience being judged based on my status and appearance. But more than that, I think it was seeing how genuine people can take a person in without giving it a second thought,” I tell him. Amari and the family we have here have thought me humanity I had no idea existed before.He nods and passes a tablet. There is so m

Nathan We meet Isaac at the door of the church. He looks from Mrs Gail to me and gives us unimpressed looks. “I just met Amari. She seems upset. What did you do?” he asks. The fact that he is certain that I am the one at fault speaks to my wife’s character. “Maybe she is the one who did something,” Mrs Gail responds defensively. This woman always has my back. “This is Amari we are talking about,” Isaac says and I confess. He lets out a sigh and tells me what I already know. “She hates lies.” “I know. I am so scared of losing her, man,” I tell him and he gives me the “are you crazy” look. “She is mad, not crazy. Even if she was, I doubt she would ever leave you,” he says and Mrs Gail nods her head in agreement. I really don’t know why they are so certain about this. Amari does not need me. She can definitely replace me in a second if she wants. “I know!” Mrs Gail exclaims excitedly. “You go in there and report her to God for being mad at you. Do it in her hearing. She wi

Nathan My wife comes out of the suite and my jaw drops. “Amari,” is all I can manage to say. The royal blue gown fits her like a glove and accentuates all her beautiful features. She has always been gorgeous in her modest attire, but she is enthralling now. Her curly hair is left down, just the way I like. I play with her curls and gaze at her alluring eyes. “Do you like it?” she asks and searches my eyes. “My wife is gorgeous with or without clothes,” I say, and she blushes. “You are angelic,” I declare and wrap my arms around her waist. “You are hot, Husband,” she says, making my heart flutter. With all the wealth in the world, she is still the best thing that has ever happen to me. “Ahem!” Mrs Gail clears her throat, and I can sense a witty remark coming. She looks so sophisticated and young in her attire. Brian really outdid himself. I don’t even know how he got my wife and Mrs Gail’s sizes because I had instructed him not to. “You two are pregnant already, surely you ha

AmariThe press conference is emotionally exhausting for me. I don’t think I have ever met so many pretentious people in my life. One moment they can’t even look at Nathan because they are disgusted by him. The next, they are looking at him with pleading eyes. Nathan ushers Mrs Gail and I as soon as the police drag James, Michael, uncle and his family outside. I hope I never see them again. Nathan has just opened the door for me when Michael grabs the officers’ firearm and aims at Nathan. I don’t understand why he hates Nathan when he fell for my materialistic cousin. It’s like he despises him because Ella would not choose him and even aborted their child to be with Nathan back then. “Amari!” Nathan shouts in horror and pushes me inside the car, out of the way. “Nathan!” I shout, and get out. That gun is aimed at him, not me, yet he does not try to save himself. I completely freeze when the gun goes off. “Nathan!”The bullet misses him by an inch. That’s because Ella pushed Michea
