Chapter 68

BIANCA’S POV

I never thought Richard liked the chocolate soufflé we had for dessert at Dinnos during our dinner party, let alone it being his favourite. No wonder he devoured it like a hurried child that day, and I’m pretty sure he took some home. I couldn’t even finish mine.

The issue was I didn’t know how to make it. I hadn’t tried it before, and it seemed like a tricky dish that needed very serious cooking skills. Although my mom was a caterer and could whip up various meals like they were nothing, I doubted she could handle this one. Even if she could, I didn’t want to bother her and I wanted to avoid her tricky questions. I had to steer clear of them. So, I planned to watch an online video on how to make it. That will do. It seemed easier and faster.

“Are all the ingredients available?” I asked Gideon. “I would like to make one for him.”

He opened the refrigerator door and scanned the contents inside, “Uhmmmm….” Then looked at me with an apologetic look and said, “

    Chapter 69BIANCA’S POVMy brows furrowed in anger as I glanced up, only to find Bernard smiling kind of weirdly at me. Suddenly, my anger shifted to nervousness and awkwardness, knowing it was him. I looked away, scratching the back of my neck. Why was he here? Why do we keep running into each other like this?“Are you planning on proposing to someone?” He asked with a confused cartoonish smile. “I thought you were married already.”"No..." I shifted my gaze to him, scratching my eyebrows, still feeling nervous. Who knows what he thought of me after I didn't reply to his message and ghosted him? "I'm as surprised as you are. I didn't know the ring was in my pocket. I was looking for my credit card." A brief silence followed as he examined the ring, and I pondered on what to say next. "What a surprise. We keep running into each other... What are you doing here?"“Yeah,” he said teasingly, looking up at me. “It’s as if the universe has something planned for us. I came to buy a few thi

The ones available are just after the money and other things aside from true love. They don’t want something as serious and long and as boring as marriage.”I gave him a slight scolding stare. “Marriage isn’t boring,” I said - coming from someone whose marriage was in crumbles and was not as merry as she thought it would be. “Believe me when I say there are plenty of good women out there. If you think most women are just after money and things other than love, it’s because you just not looking well enough. Many women are looking for a genuine connection, to settle down with the right person. They want to love and to be loved deeply, like never before. Just keep searching, alright? You are a good man, and I’m confident you will find someone special to put a ring on her finger someday.”He stayed silent and shrugged, having no other

    Chapter 71BIANCA’S POVIt took me approximately an hour and thirty minutes to finish making the chocolate soufflé. As I carried it to the dining table and set it down, I couldn’t stop staring and smiling at it, happy with what I had achieved. Though it was my first time making it, it did turn out exactly as I wanted. The texture, colour and smell were everything one could wish for in a chocolate dessert. No doubt Richard will love it and thank me for it.The tempting sight was so tough to look away from. When I remembered from the video that it’s best served hot, I had to cover it to keep it from getting cold, finally tearing my gaze away.I hurried back to the kitchen, grabbed a cover, and rushed back to the dining to place it over the dessert. The dining area was a bit far and out of sight from the entrance door. Worried that Richard might miss seeing it, I moved it to the living room’s centre table. Positioned just right, facing the door, so he’d notice it right away when he came

It was the first time Thea and I were speaking since my wedding, so I didn’t want her to think I was sad from my voice. She will become worried and will definitely tell my parents about it. So I had to keep my tone up and lively. “How are you and mum and dad doing?”“We’re doing fine,” she said. “Thank you for asking, what about you and your husband?”“We’re doing fine too,” I smiled unnaturally. If only she could see me now.“Good to know.”After that, there was a short silence between us. I sensed something was off because whenever she called, she was usually cheerful. But this time, she wasn’t. It seemed like she was trying to pretend to be happy like I was. However, having known her for a while, I could tell something was bothering her. Maybe that’s why she called me but didn’t know how to share whatever thing was botheri

The way they were laughing and staggering made it clear they were drunk and caught up in so much lust.That’s where he had been all along – in a brothel or maybe by the roadside drinking and scouting for sluts like this one to spend the night with. How stupid of me to think he was spending time with his father. At this point, I’m not even sure he went to the business meeting Gideon mentioned he went to at all.I stood frozen on the spot, my heart dropping and sinking in my stomach Tears streamed down my face as I watched Richard plaster her against the wall, bury his face in the depth of her neck and ravage her with kisses as if he wanted to eat and drink from her. The lady moaned, her eyes closed as she revelled in the feeling.The horrific sight before me made me wish for blindness. I squeezed my eye

    Chapter 74BIANCA’S POVWhy wasn’t he wearing his ring? Did he toss it away like I did to mine? I did that because of what he did last night, but he didn’t have any reason to stop wearing his ring. I haven’t cheated or hurt him since we got married, except for wrongly accusing him of being involved with Nina. But that is settled now. He was the one cheating and hurting me in this marriage. So, why isn’t he wearing his ring? Is he ashamed of being called a married man? Ashamed of being with me?They went out of view, and his room’s door creaked open and slammed shut right away. My body shook violently, my legs gave up underneath me, and I couldn’t help but crumple to the floor.I yielded to the compulsive tears that shook me, appearing as helpless as a widow who had lost everything.Resting my back against the sofa, I hugged my legs to my chest and stared at the chocolate soufflé on the table before me.

My gaze bore at him like heat through a metal. How dare he ask me that? What am I? His prisoner wife. Ohh not wife, maid. An invisible, insignificant maid he hired who didn’t matter. His exact words. “Wherever I’m going, whoever I choose to meet or spend the night with is none of your business,” I crossed my arms defiantly and looked at him as if to challenge him. His intense gaze acknowledged the challenge. “What do you mean it’s none of my business? You are my wife. I have every right to know and until you tell me, I’m not stepping an inch away from this door.” I scoffed in disbelief. His audacity was surprising as well as mesmerizing. So he was free to step out anytime he liked to bring in a hoe and fuck her right before me, but won’t let me step out. What a man! I might as well give him an award for being the most loving

When I arrived, I saved his number again in my phone and put a call through to him so he could come get me. It was a hotel or more of a guest house; quiet and not well known. Walking through the revolving doors, I stayed in the lobby for him to pick me up.When he said we were having dinner at his place, I thought he meant his apartment or something like that. I didn’t know he was staying in a hotel. Isn’t that a bit pricey? I’d prefer crashing at a friend’s place than staying in a hotel. But, well, he’s wealthy, so it’s not a big deal for him. Plus, the hotel didn’t seem too costly, and since he’s just visiting, it works out fine.After a short wait, he emerged from the elevator. Dressed casually but with expensive clothes, his usually nicely messy creamy brown hair seemed a bit more dishevelled, and his cheeks looked a bit flushed. It seemed like he was a bit nervous to

    Chapter 174 RICHARD’S POV Approaching B’s family house, I saw B stepping out, but the moment she saw me, she ran back inside. My heart hurt from seeing how she was avoiding me. “B please wait. Hear me out first. I have something important to tell you. The pregnancy was fake…I know everything now…” I said as I rushed out of the car and chased after her. But I didn’t think she heard me as she quickly slammed the door shut down on getting inside. I banged against the door, screaming for her. Apologizing. Pouring my heart out and letting her know how much I loved and missed her. I didn’t care if I was constituting a nuisance or being absurd, I just wanted her forgiveness. I wanted her back. But it all fell on deaf ears. No one opened the door for me. I wondered if my dad had come like he promised. Maybe he hadn’t yet. I wondered if her parents were around. Surely, they won’t approve of my behaviour and I didn’t even know how to explain the whole situation to their understa

    Chapter 173 RICHARD'S POV By the time I made it back to the apartment, it was almost dusk. Heather’s parents had the heart to forgive her for lying to them. Despite all she did, they still loved her as their one and only daughter and were willing to take her back. After they left, my father noticed how troubled and unhappy I was, and I couldn’t help but tell him everything that happened. I needed someone to talk to. Someone who could understand and advise me. And right then, my father was the only one I could turn to. He advised me to be patient, to give B more time and not act rashly to avoid losing her completely. He also promised to go see her parents intercede on my behalf and convinced me to head back to the apartment and rest because I really needed it. As I was approaching my apartment from the elevator, I noticed the door was left ajar. I didn’t put too much thought into it because it was probably Gideon. I had seen him earlier that morning before stepping out.

    Chapter 172 RICHARD’S POV I wasn’t sure where B could have gone, but the only place that came to my mind was her family house. I just hoped she hadn’t gone to any other place. It’ll be hard finding her if she did. No matter what, I had to get her back. I want her back. Not only is she the love of my life, but she’s also carrying my unborn child. She will be the mother of my children. Rushing into the room, I hurriedly pulled out the drawer of the nightstand, searching for my car keys. I couldn’t remember where last I kept it but I think it should be in the drawer because I usually left it there. Instead of finding my car keys, I found something else. My brows drew in curiously as I took out the paperwork. Going through the contents, terrible regrets assailed me as I shook my head in agony. B was pregnant. All these while, she has been carrying my child but kept it from me. All these while, I have been hurting and treating her badly not knowing my seed was growing inside her.

    CHAPTER 171 RICHARD’S POV The news of Heather’s pregnancy hit me like a shockwave. I was so shocked I struggled to accept it. How did it happen? How am I the one responsible for it? As far as I knew, Heather and I hadn’t gotten into any intimate act since she returned. There must be a mistake somewhere. B was so shattered she couldn’t even look at me. But I wished she could just listen to what I had to say before jumping to any conclusions. This was all a misunderstanding. I knew nothing about it. I know I have been cold and mean towards her lately, but that was only because of the way she’d been acting towards Heather. I believe with time she’ll stop seeing Heather as a threat and apologize for her actions. I cared for Heather and promised to be by her side to make up for all those years I failed to protect her from Ben. But that doesn’t mean I’ll go as far as sleeping with her. I made it clear to her that I loved B and only B now. What Heather and I shared was all in the

    CHAPTER 170BIANCA’S POVIt’s been almost a week now. That night I went out of the apartment, I wasn’t thinking straight. I was losing my mind. I had no one else to run to except Nina. She was the only one who could understand me right now and tell me what to do. At this point, I was considering a divorce. Divorce him and move on….He lied about loving you….He never loved you….He only agreed to this marriage because his father wanted him to… you were only a second option, a plan B.Nina advised me not to give up on him yet. She said if he truly loved me then he’ll come for me. She also said I should threaten him on leaving the apartment and if he persisted, then I’ll make him choose between me and Heather. That was a good idea. The only way I could bring an end to this once and for all. It was either her or me. And I know Richard will choose wisely because deep down, he still loved me. That bitch was only putting a blindfold over his eyes, but it’s only a matter of time before I ta

I sighed in relief. That would have ruined the whole plan.While Richard and I were in my room, I heard the entrance door squeak open and slam shut. That meant the bitch has gone out. That makes everything a lot better. I hope she never comes back. I hope she gets hit by a bus or truck or falls off a cliff and her body is never found. As it stands now, that will make things a lot better now.“Hey,” I smiled at Richard as I took a seat very close beside him. “What are you watching?”He looked at me with a smile before looking back at the TV.“I just turned on the TV and found the movie interesting,” he said. He grabbed the remote and pressed the information button to check the title and description. “It says ‘The Idea of You.’”“Ok,” I beamed a smi

She doesn’t know what she’s doing.”“She knows what she’s doing!” I blurted out, sobbing heavily. “She hates me and is out to destroy me. She's dangerous and the earlier you realize that, the better and safer it is for us. Who knows what she might do next and accuse me of?.... perhaps she could stab herself next and say that I did it. Maybe she could come back with bruises and cuts and broken bones and accuse me of hiring hitmen that did it to her…and you might just have to believe her…”I broke down in another outburst of tears, burying my face in my hands.

He had hurt me and wanted to do very bad things to me, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something wasn’t right. If possible I needed to find a way to question him about Heather. I needed him to tell me everything he knew about her. If they planned her rape story together to deceive Richard. But how do I do that? The last thing I want is to meet up with him after what he did to me. And if Richard found out I met with his greatest enemy, he’d be mad at me and think I was somehow involved with him. Little did he know that bitch sitting close to him was his greatest enemy. “I’m glad he’s finally getting what he deserved,” Richard said, still sounding overjoyed. “Can you imagine he asked to see me?...” But then he stopped halfway, realizing the look on my face. “What happened to your face?” He peered closer, his eyes squinting and b

I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I could be pregnant. And the thought of that made me feel worse. I just couldn’t get pregnant now. Now wasn’t the right time at all. Heavens, please…I threw up a couple more times and the whole discomfort deteriorated. I got dressed and decided to visit a lab nearby to run some tests, keeping my fingers crossed that it had better not be what I was thinking.To my greatest shock and disappointment, it turned out to be true. The test turned out positive. I was fucking pregnant.Since I came back, I have been feeling extremely sad.
