Chapter 143

BIANCA’S POV

Richard didn’t come back to bed last night. But I tried not to panic or think of the worst-case scenario as I made breakfast. Last night, he said a lot of things before leaving that got me thinking all through the night.

I needed to amend my attitude especially my insecurity and tendency to jump to conclusions. I can’t keep living like this. I will lose everything I cherish if I continue like this. Lots of people have complained about it including Nina. I have promised to change before but never followed through. Today, I’m really committed to making a positive change in myself.

“Please understand B. This is a very vulnerable time for her. The least we can do is support her and support ourselves too in this fight against Ben. We shouldn’t be fighting each other at such a critical time. Remember we are a team. We take on everything together. I love you, and I will never stop loving you. I haven’t forgotten the reassurance I gave you two days back, but if it’s

    Chapter 144BIANCA’S POVI pulled away from Richard’s lips and squeezed his nose playfully. Turning, I saw Heather standing not so far from the table blinking at us like an underage trying to process what she just saw.“Morning sleepyhead, you finally woke up,” I walked over to her and gave her a quick unexpected hug. She didn’t hug back. Probably because she was too shocked I just hugged her and was trying to process and recover from it. “Morning Hay,” Richard subtly raised his brows at her and offered a smile. He had already started eating and had gone almost halfway with it.That seemed to snap Heather out of the sudden unexplainable shock she was in as she forced back a smile. “Don’t just stand like stature, sit down,” I pulled out her chair from the table and helped her sit on it before bringing her breakfast in front of her. “Pancakes topped with berries, bananas, cooked apples and whipped cream. Hope you like it?”She nodded, beaming a toothless smile. I smiled back and rubb

    Chapter 145BIANCA’S POVI filled Richard in on everything as I promised, leaving him quite stunned and then posted that cute selfie of us with the caption ‘WHAT’S BETTER THAN HAVING BREAKFAST WITH THAT SPECIAL PERSON BY YOUR SIDE?’It was the best caption I could come up with and it was cute and romantic. I used a few hashtags that Nina suggested for me and first sent it to her for her opinion before posting. She liked it. She said it was cute and simple, but I should think of something bigger in our next post. I was still trying to get a hang of all this. I didn’t know what she meant by ‘bigger’.“Seriously how do you do it?” I asked Richard, looking at him keenly as I took tiny bites of fruit from my plate. “In all my time staying with you, I haven’t seen you talk about social media or even take pictures or enter online, yet you are always trending without trying. Just how do you do it?”There was just one pancake remaining on his plate. He chugged it down his throat in one go and

    CHAPTER 146BIANCA’S POVI didn’t understand why Richard would make such a decision without letting me know about it. Maybe this was what kept them up all night or they even decided on it the first day she arrived. I wasn’t against him taking her out or things like that, but he should have told me first and asked me if I was okay with it before carrying on. As it stands now, Heather was in no position to leave the apartment. I thought Richard knew better. She just arrived yesterday and still needed time to recover from her trauma and revitalize.“We are going shopping,” Heather said. I turned to look at her. She was jollying like a child, emerald eyes gleaming as she looked like she was enjoying this. “No…no….no,” Richard uttered, drawing back my attention. He face-palmed and laughed, his entire body vibrating along as though this was some kind of joke to him.I crossed my arms against my chest and kept a hardened look. Whatever trick they were playing, I didn’t like it. I needed h

    Chapter 147BIANCA’S POV Just to make sure we had an awesome experience, I decided to take Heather to the largest shopping mall in the city for the shopping - AllYour Needs shopping mall. The mall was a colossal maze of glass and steel towering over the city skyline like a modern-day castle. It was a bustling hub of activity. You can hardly pass by in some sections without a part of your body coming in contact with another person or seeing someone you know. It drew crowds from far and near the city with multiple levels of shops, restaurants, and sections offering its own slice of endless entertainment and retail therapy. “I know you and I started on the wrong foot,” I said to Heather as we navigated the inside of the mall. I scratched the back of my neck, nervous as I continued with what I was saying. “I might have been too hard on you. I made you feel bad and unwelcomed and less of yourself, made it feel like I was in a better position than you…thought your presence in the apartme

    Chapter 148BIANCA’S POV“What’s the problem?” Heather asked, noticing how agitated I seemed.I let out a deep sigh, not knowing how best to explain it to her. I can’t believe this jerk, Dylan was still out fooling around with innocent women who didn’t know what a feckless and irresponsible jerk he was.I thought he learnt his lesson after the embarrassment I and the girl he was with gave him that day at the bridal shop. Little did I know he’d continue flirting around, playing with innocent women’s feelings and emotions.The thought of him changing women like clothes made bile trigger my throat, and the thought of him eventually breaking their hearts and disappointing them after a long run in their relationship made my blood boil. No woman should be allowed to go through such emotional turmoil all because of him.“My douchebag of an ex-boyfriend just walked into the restaurant with another lady?!” I ground my words angrily from my tightened jaw, answering Heather while my raging gaze

    CHAPTER 149BIANCA’S POVAs I made my way past the entrance door of the restaurant, something prompted me to stop. Maybe confronting Dylan wasn’t such a good idea. This wasn’t the right thing to do. I contemplated within me as I briefly closed my eyes, his exact words that day at the bridal shop invading my thoughts.“You want to know why I left you, huh?” He raised a brow angrily. “I was fucking fed up and tired of you. You’re too much to handle. You and your incessant complaints. Your parents and their stupid unrealistic expectations. I pity any man who ends up with you. Because no matter what, it’ll never work out. You and your crazy family will end up fucking it all up! So next time you see me anywhere, don’t look at me, don’t talk to me—just pretend I don’t exist anymore.”Those words hurt me deeply that day and made me feel like I was the reason for the failure of our relationship. It made me feel like I was a liability. A burden, not only to him. But to Richard as well as we e

    CHAPTER 150 BIANCA’S POV With the number of followers I had now, I was pretty sure that the post would go viral. At least people will know Dylan for who he really is, and avoid him. Or if possible, do something that will make him regret and pay dearly for his actions. I believe this is the best way to go about this matter instead of just confronting him without him learning his lesson. I added “Repost massively” in the comments section since I forgot to put it in the post. I returned to my home screen after that. In a few minutes, it will blow up. I know it will. Switching off my phone, I put it inside my purse and headed to the spot Heather and I were before I left. She must be waiting for me. I have wasted a lot of time already. I hope she won’t be angry about that. Approaching, I couldn’t see Heather or our shopping bags anywhere. Where could she have gone? Did I take so much time she couldn’t wait for me any longer? Trying not to worry, I decided to wait for her. She must hav

    Chapter 151 BIANCA’S POV I waited for Richard outside the shopping mall. In less than fifteen minutes, I saw him drive into the mall’s vicinity and the parking lot. He turned off the ignition and locked the car before loping towards me. “B,” he called out as he approached. I swallowed a lump that formed in my throat, looking like a child who didn’t know how to go about explaining to her parents about something bad she did. But this wasn’t my fault. I never wanted to go into that restaurant and face Dylan. Heather had convinced me and I listened to her. Little did I know it would be to my detriment. What do I say to Richard now? Surely, I can’t tell him I lost her because I went to face my ex-boyfriend. He will go ballistic. I know he will. I can testify from what happened with him and David in our wedding, and since Dylan was nowhere to be found, Richard would probably take out all that anger on me. I can’t affor

    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

    CHAPTER 169HEATHER’S POVBy the time I was done adjusting myself, getting everything together and reaching downstairs, Richard was already seated on the sofa of the living room watching a movie.Thank goodness he hasn’t brought the drinks. 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

I will feel a lot better, and be the happiest woman on the planet when he throws his garbage wife away from this penthouse apartment and our lives forever.“I’m sorry Hay,” he apologized, his voice very gentle and soothing to my hearing. “Please forgive B. 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. I could tell Richard was extremely worried and cared for me a lot because he

    CHAPTER 167 BIANCA’S POV “Great,” I muttered sarcastically. Ben’s arrest was supposed to be good news. Perhaps the best news ever. 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

    CHAPTER 165BIANCA’S POVAfter I threw up earlier today, I started feeling strange. I felt unusually tired and drained both physically, mentally and emotionally. 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. I didn’t know how to handle the news much less break it to Richard.I knew pregnancy was supposed to be good news. I knew it was supposed to bring and bind the couple together and make them stronger in love. The thought of starting a family was something beautif
