A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 212
SAMUEL POVThe entire time, I simply stared at the exhausted girl. Zara was lying there, motionless, chest rising and falling with labored breaths; her whole body felt like the effect of all the things that had occurred between us up to that point. The silence in the air was made heavy by all the emotions we felt; it seemed to be a live entity that inhabited the space between us.With me, however, it was done. Done. I was clothed, moving softly with the rustling fabric that now formed a stark contrast with the silence. Leaving Zara to her weary slumber, I began to prepare for my departure.As I reached for the door, however, my hands instinctively dipped into my back pocket, my fingers closing around a crumpled wad of dollars. They were old papers, and worn and creased, whose edges frayed from spending. With a swift, almost cruel movement, I flung the money onto Zara's face, making it flutter down like autumn leaves, each one a tiny, insignificant thing.A sharp and startling smack wa

SAMUEL POVLike, all my thoughts were running amok in connection with that tormented video, and a little voice made itself heard in my subconscious. What did Zara do? Did she get me in a trap? I asked myself, thoughts swirling through suspicion, anger, and a little self-doubt.Picking my other phone, I quickly punched Zara's number. Ring! I heard it, slicing through the silence. Zara answered, but before I could speak, she hung up the phone. Frustration rushed through me, further fueling my anger.I tried again, this time using a different number. Zara picked it up. "Hello?" her voice was tense but cautious. "Hello, Zara," I said, my voice firm but controlled. "What's the problem?" she responded, her tone drenching with attitude, her mixed tone of defiance and hostility.It lit up a little surprise in me. "Are we fighting, Zara?" I shot back with a little confusion and concern in my voice. It caught me a little off guard because of how hostile she was.Zara just laughed instead. "Haha

JENNY POVI was thinking when the sharp blast of a motor-horn cleaved the air into pieces. My heart raced faster recognizing the familiar sound of Adrian's car horn. I knew he was back, and an excitement swept over me, as if some burden had lifted off my shoulders. I could not wait to see my husband.I dashed through my hurried feet and reached the entrance of my house almost instantly. I reached there in a hurry and found Adrian coming from his car. His figure was as tall as the car did not have. Yet for such a gigantic stature, there were marks of stress and, plain to see, the weariness in his eyes. My heart, on the contrary, was full of feeling and sympathy for him."You are back, honey," my voice thick with emotion as I held him close against me. He hugged me tight, and exclaimed, "Thank you, my love," grazing my forehead with his lips while I shivered from the sensation.Everything seemed to drift far into the background; it was just a lovely space that had come alive through the

JENNY POVAs my head leaned closer towards him, my eyes facing his offended curiosity led me to ask, "What did you do then?" My voice was almost a whisper, my words heavy with anticipation for him to reveal the next chapter. He smiled, that sly yet mischievous glint in his eyes, and began speaking."Zara told me the plan of Samuel," he said, and sure enough, that was how he had come here putting his life at stake. "And so we came up with another plan." At that point he paused grandly, as if to relish a moment. "Guess, baby?" he teased with a twinkle of amusement in his eye.I shook my head in a guess but tried to fathom what they might have done. "You guys confronted him?" I suggested hesitantly, my voice uncertain.He chuckled slowly, shaking his head. "No, dear," he said, his voice smooth, dripping with sophistication. "We acted it to be so real, but it was actually edited." The proud glint in his eyes showed he felt like they had done something clever. "And we called a photographe

JENNY POV"My love, I received a text from the Dubai government telling me that the proposal will be tomorrow," Adrian said in a very excited and urgent tone as he walked into the room, his face shining with both excitement and anticipation. "Ahhh," I exclaimed, my voice shocked at such an abrupt change of plans. "They changed the date, love?" I asked, my brows knitting with confusion as I tried to figure out this turn of events."So I thought it would be two weeks later?" I wondered out loud, looking for clarification on the new timing. "Yes, but I just got an email now, so it would be tomorrow," he said quietly, matter-of-fact and informing me of his latest news. "Alright then, no problem," I replied in resigned acquiescence, accepting this new timetable.I walked to the kitchen to prepare something for Isaac and the others while my husband followed behind, the sound of light footsteps trailing in the quiet. Night had fallen outside the kitchen, dark and desolate yet warm and busy w

JENNY POVI screamed so much that Adrian woke up all shocked with his eyes wide open and sat up in bed suddenly. As if my voice was a slap in the face, he woke up with its sound." Baby! We are already 4 hours late!" I exclaimed, without stopping for breath. "The event has begun!" And eventually added with increasing pitch.He went white as he absorbed the extent of the situation. He leapt from bed like a flash and ran to the bathroom, slamming its door behind him. I saw him off, and my heart raced in anxiety and frustration. I could not believe we had gotten that late and that the event had already begun minus us.I quickly went back to my room, teeming with thoughts of everything I had to do. I hastily donned my corporate wear, a pencil skirt and crisp white blouse, slipped on my black heeled shoes, and moved as they clacked on the floor echoing through the room. I later accessorized with rings, bracelets, and earrings, giving a careful selection to finish my outfit.Completing what

JENNY POV"Why are you telling us to get out?" I asked Samuel, the confusion and hint of annoyance in my voice, like a puzzle yet to be solved. The words hung heavy in the atmosphere, as it felt like a challenge, a gauntlet thrown down; Samuel's expression also seemed to morph from an unfriendly smile to something threatening."Haha, don't start proving to me that Superwoman is here now, or we shall have to black-list your company's name," Samuel said in an exaggeratedly sarcastic manner, as if the words were reverberating within the throat of an anaconda. The words slapped, a tight comment that narrowed my eyes a bit, like a detective going over some clues."Julian, even you?" Adrian grumbled, disappointment intertwining with mock fury at his friend's betrayal, the barometer of the soul hinting at stormy weather far off. It also appeared as if they hung in the air, a question mark, a puzzle to be solved.The voice of Adrian cleaved through the air, sharp and piercing as a surgeon's s

JENNY POV"Oh my God, what do we do now, baby?" I asked Adrian almost inaudibly, it slipped out like a keenly uttered prayer, with panic and doubt glittering in my eyes as I held his gaze."I don't know, darling," he replied in soft tones, one of the soothing voices hanging on the air like an aura, "just go baby, up to the hostess, tell her you want to give your proposal," I suggested and almost rushed through the words. Adrian's eyes narrowed, contemplating my reply like a puzzle piece that reluctantly fit."Okay, are you sure it helps?" he asked skeptically. I bobbed my head for yes as if it were attached to a buoy on a swell. "Yes, go ahead, just do it before the government officials reach the stage," I added with an urgency intensifying by the moment.Another "ok", and now Adrian was striding up to the proscenium, his long legs devouring distance like a ravenous giant. The bouncers tried to intercept him, massive and intense in stature, arms like offending barricades blocking his

CHAPTER245JENNY POVLooking at me, completely aghast, Grace's eyes widened with her smile. "Oh, yes," she said. "I have been watching you two for quite some time. I know about the little marriage you have with each other and I know how you both can drive a wedge into each other's side."Adrian's expression was like dusk, with his eyes blazing out all his pent-up wrath. "Touch her and your death will be at your door," he commanded.She chuckled gleefully, "Oh, but you have. I've been your model servant, pretending all along, just biding my time to strike and watch the disarray of your union as your history unfolds."I shivered at her words. Was this marriage truly in danger? Would Grace really fracture everything we had built together?Grace's words made me miserable with indecision. Surely, she wouldn't have done that. I looked towards Adrian to see how this would have affected him, but his face reflected no such expression- it had a strict seriousness."You will not lift a finger to
A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 244
JENNY POVWe strolled to the living room and there, illuminated by the soft glow of the lights illuminating the path from the entrance, we found Grace (or so she claimed) standing with head downcast, turning eyes to the floor in a gesture of abandonment and with shoulders slumped in an act of discomfiture. "Good day, sir and ma'am," she addressed, her whisper almost inaudible, trembling slightly as she spoke, the words formed by hardly fluttering lips."Yea, Grace," he replied in a neutral tone, without a discernible expression, right when we sat together, as I was sitting on him, arms wrapped around me while holding me to himself, a hand softly placed on my stomach. Adrian then turned to Scarlett, his eyes narrowing as he studied her with a furrowed, working overtime with his brain to decode whatever she was ruminating upon."Grace, who are you?" he asked in a commanding tone that seemed to challenge such pronouncement, laced with some measure of skepticism, his tone even dripping wi

JENNY POVThe onset of this incident will forever remain my awakening hour, with the night still darkened. I became more aware of my surroundings, with the first thing in sight being Adrian, my husband, seated next to me with a most concerned look on his face. That dim bedside lamp light warmed him, throwing the depths of his worry into bold relief."What happened?" I pictured me demanding, but my voice was edged with confusion and alarm. Just as I attempted to rise, dizziness would encompass me, my husband's hands there to gently yet quite firmly assist me."You fell; you fainted," Adrian said. I kept on repeating it to myself in an attempt to fathom what it meant to faint. "I fainted?" I was finally able to whisper, the word now hanging in the air as if challenging my perception.He looked at me for a long moment, concerned but slightly annoyed. "Yes, love," he said gently but firmly. "I've told you to take it easy on yourself." Even as his tone reproached, his eyes showed the quick

JENNY POVMonica left my mother behind, with Grace, the maid, for services in the house. The next day, I woke as if with no energy; my body felt heavy and completely pregnant. "Honey," I called, sweet and gentle, hoping that Adrian would respond. But there was only silence. I waited for a moment expecting him to walk into the bedroom, but nothing.Sighing, I arise and manage to put all my strength into moving toward the kitchen. The instant Grace saw me walk through, she seemed to stop whatever the action was that she was engaged in and smiled, saying "Good morning, ma'am." In that voice, there was this plural, respectful and welcoming tone. I returned the gesture but instinctively put my hands on my huge tummy to rub it while feeling kicks from the baby inside. "Good morning, dear," I added just to sound a little more cheerful than I really felt.It was an exceptionally warm and inviting room that within one breath, would include coffee brewing. I found my usual place on the table an

ADRIAN POVIn the warmth of home, the weak lights of evening embraced us in lazy comfort. "Well, this is home; I was checking on Jenny," I muttered, sadly and tenderly gazing at her with concern. "No need to worry, babe. Jenny was fine," I comforted him with a smile, gently pulling him into hugs.As we moved on toward the room, the only sound from out two feet padding softly across the floor. "We need to hire a maid," I soothingly suggested, trying to approach the subject slowly. But Jenny interrupted, her voice very clear and very strong. "No, baby. I can do all the housework," she opposed right away, with a determined glint in her eyes that dared me to argue with her.My heart reeked of love and guilt towards her. I smiled sweetly and said, "No, my love-no." "You are expecting and I cannot allow you to submit yourself to doing that." Please, let me take care of this." I pleaded as I caressed her hair softly, as though that might somehow soften her resolute spirit.She regarded my w

ADRIAN POVFour hours later, the wait finally ended. Dr. Dazzy walked out of the emergency room, a mask of professionalism on his face, his eyes revealing but a sliver of concern. He called out my name, voice laden with reassuring authority like a lifeline thrown to a drowning man, "Mr...?" Suddenly his gaze shifted towards the waiting area, raking in one after the other until at last, it rested on yours truly.I jumped up, my heart racing. Oh yeah, that's me, I whispered back. "How is she? How's Jenny?" The floodgates burst open.The treatment softened the doctor's looks a bit as he nodded. "I'm with your wife now," he said, almost holding out a glimmer of hope. "Let's talk," he said, sending a gesture toward one of the waiting room's quiet corners. My heart drummed in my chest like a drummer preparing for some primitive ritual. What was he going to say? Was Jenny okay? The uncertainty was murder.I quickly marched into the doctor's office, purposeful stride like a man on a mission,
A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 239
ADRIAN POVAs we lay there, Jenny's body tensed, muscles broiling under the skin like waves about to crest. A grotesque distortion of her face came into view as her eyes were closed shut, and a strangled, guttural cry, "Hpppp!" escaped her lips, followed closely by a heartbreaking wrenching sound. This tearing sound ripped irrevocably through the very fabric of that moment. Eyes that once sparkled with humor and fun turned into tight, scrunched-up furrows of mixed terror and discomfort." And I, exhilarated, turned toward her, speaking soft, reassuring words, almost like a summer's warm, gentle breeze."What is it, baby?" I asked, leniently. Distracted by pain, Jenny barely perceived my touch as I brushed a straining hand from her forehead. In that instant, I felt an electric jolt through my fingers. Slowly, her eyes opened, and she gazed up at me- her expression blurred and hazy, breathing labored. Each rise and fall of her chest steered with ragged breaths alongside cowering flickeri

ADRIAN POVFive months laterSoftly I entered the room calling for my wife. "Honey," I said very softly, very lovingly. "I'm over here, baby," she said, warm and inviting, as I turned in the direction of her voice.Jenny was in the room, snacking and gently rubbing her stomach. She had dancing happiness in her eyes, and her face shone with a glorious smile. I, at that moment, couldn't help but smile back at her, as time seemed to make my love grow stronger for her."You are eating too much baby," I said, staring right at her, mischief ringing in my voice."Funny. It's that time of the baby." She replied, "I'm eating for two now, you know." And I laughed and shook my head, awestruck by the miracle in her womb.Looking at her, he could not stop the gratitude that he felt for all that was in store for the couple. The joy of becoming parents was getting real for them, and the dreamy excitement of meeting their little one was almost tangible. Then Jenny held my hand, intertwining her finge
A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 237
ADRIAN POVAll fit to burst with happy joy, and really not in any way able to keep joy controlled, I ran straight towards Jenny's ward; and my heart beat like a train's wheels running on the tracks. Cracked the door ajar, I peeped in. But, no sooner did my eyes lay on my beautiful wife lying down there, with her eyes locked onto the television-"Honey," I called softly so as not to startle her.She turned her gaze to me, and a slight smile fell across her lips. "Yea," she replied soft and gentle. I moved to the edge of the bed and sat on it beside her, our eyes shining into each other. I was lost staring into those beautiful eyes and getting all the more lovely toward her.Before the evils of my mind settle, I kissed her lips very lightly, "I love you very much," he whispered-voice barely audible as he choked with emotion. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me, drawing in tighter. "I love you too," she murmured, still kissing me.Kissing her made euphoria and gratification wrap aro
