The Next Wife novel Chapter 36

Jayda got to the wedding quite late. She was forced to wait for a while after Samantha's surgery started. She also forgot to bring their wedding gift so she had to go back home to get it.

Jayda arrived just after they had exchanged their wedding vows.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." The priest announced then Freya and Jeremy connected their lips for an electrifying kiss which motioned clapping and cheering noises.

The rest of the wedding went well then Jayda walked to them, hugged the hell out of Freya.

"I'm very happy for you." Jayda smiled and happy tears tickled at the corner of her eyes.

Fred was standing right beside Jeremy then was putting up with a smile.

Jayda glared at him then cleared her throat. "I think we should leave the newly wedded couple alone and go sort things out for ourselves. They have to catch up with a flight to their honeymoon." She said, looking directly into Fred's eyes then held his hand tightly.

"Be calm and patient with him." Freya whispered into Jayda's ears then she left with Jeremy.

Jayda stood in front of Fred which made him stare directly into her eyes, with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Do you care to give me a proper explanation?" She was extremely angry and it was evident in her voice.

Jayda was more than frustrated. She felt the urge to break and destroy things. It seemed like the world was boiling at the moment but it happened to be her head that was on fire.

You wouldn't believe that with how much Jayda was with Fred, he managed to escape from her and disappeared all of a sudden. She had searched for him but couldn't find him anywhere. He was totally out of sight.

Jayda's anger was beyond words. She was trying to stay calm for her blood pressure's regulation, only for Axel's sake.

To top her anger beyond solutions, she happened to go to Fred's office in search of him but he wasn't there. He was nothing close to being in his office.

After trying a few things to calm herself down a little, she came up with a plan then called Fred's cell phone.

Jayda didn't give up on calling him even though he hadn't answered her calls after the tenth time.

She was still calling him till she drove to one of Fred's houses in town. She searched the whole place but he wasn't there. She couldn't keep on going to all the houses he had so she waited there and resumed calling him.

After something that seemed like a billion years, Fred answered her call.

Jayda was too angry to even speak and she didn't want her anger to be evident so she waited for a while.

"Hello?" Fred said into the phone when he got no response or voice from the other end of the line.

Jayda covered the phone's speaker then breathed in and out for a while before returning the phone to her ear.

"Fred! Fred! Help me!" She screamed. "I'm in serious danger! Help! Ouch! Oh my stomach hurts. I'm in pain. Please." She exclaimed, crying as loud as anyone in pain and danger could cry and scream.

"What?! Where are you? What's wrong?!" Worry instantly overshadowed him and he took his car keys from the bedside table he had kept them.

"I never said it was funny. Neither is the fact that you're giving me the silent treatment funny." She harshly breathed. "Now, will you tell me everything I need to know? Come clean with me." She commanded.

"There's nothing you need to know, okay?!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

"What? Are you scared to be truthful?" She was foaming at the mouth.

"Let me be." He shut his eyes. He was angry as well. Fred tried to walk to the door but her hand that she had placed behind herself was finally brought to view and she had a very sharp knife in her grip.

"Don't play any games." He warned. He wanted to hide his fear with anger.

"Are you mad? Do I look like I'm here for any shitty games?" She furrowed her eyebrows to the stage that it couldn't be furrowed any longer.

"Drop that knife, now!" He ordered, still yelling.

"I'm sorry that I'm just letting you get aware of the fact that you got married to an extremely crazy wife. If you don't speak up now, I promise you that I'll kill myself which means that our baby will also die, that's if you even care." She grunted.

"Jayda, please." His anger was totally washed away with anxiety and worry. "I beg of you to not do anything stupid, please." He pleaded with the whole of his heart.

"I'll not do anything if you start to talk. You must tell me the truth because if you lie, I'll know." She pointed the knife to a 'mini lie detector' on a table in between both of them. "That's a lie detector so if you lie, it'll tell me and I promise you with the whole of my life that if a lie is detected by it, I'll slit my throat without thinking twice." She swore.

Fred wasn't ready to take any risks so he was finally going to give up and say the truth. She was eventually going to find out some day.

"I promise you that I'll tell the truth." He sighed. "Are you ready for it?" His heart was palpitating harshly against his rib cage. It was going to burst anytime soon.
