Chapter 154

RICHARD’S POV

At this point, I was fed up. I didn’t know what to believe again. I wanted to believe everything B said. I really do. But the circumstances surrounding the situation were making me think otherwise.

For this once I entrusted Heather to her care hoping that would help them get along since B didn’t really like her much. I wanted them to get to know each other more so there wouldn’t be any future issues while Heather stayed with us, but it only resulted in this. To Heather missing. Again.

Last night, B was bent on us renting an apartment for her in a further part of the city, and sending her over there. I revolted against the idea because that wasn’t the right thing to do for Heather’s well-being. Then this morning, I noticed her strange new character. She was suddenly okay with Heather staying. Okay with…everything.

I won’t deny I liked the B’s sudden change in character that morning. It was a baby step towards creating a cordial relationship between her and He

    CHAPTER 155RICHARD’S POVB’s gaze and shoulders slumped in disappointment as I went out and closed the door of our room. I would have helped massage her feet, but that will only waste time. I needed to find where Heather was first. It was evening. In the blink of an eye, night will take over, and there is no way I’m going to sit back and watch that happen without finding Heather. My conscience will rip me to shreds.What if she was in the dangerous part of the city inhabited by criminals and gangs and all sorts of bad people? What if she was lost? It’s been a long she’d been in this city so I doubt she knew her way around. And she hasn’t even been to this part of the city before. I held back the urge to panic. This is bad. Very bad.If anything happens to her, I won’t remain the same! I won’t forgive myself for it. And if I find out B or Ben was responsible…. If it’s Ben, I will kill him with my bare hands, notwithstanding anything! If it’s B, I will feel betrayed, and have a very

    CHAPTER 156HEATHER’S POVEver since I saw her getting all cosy with Richard earlier in the morning during breakfast, rage ached every part of my body. I tried to make her look bad in front of him as I broke the news of our outing together to her because I knew she wouldn’t take it well. But Richard ended up foiling my attack, announcing that she would be the one taking me shopping instead of him.How…insulting?My heart split in my chest. I felt betrayed. How could Richard do that to me? He gave me so much hope last night and I held on tight to that hope. It was the only reason I managed to sleep well last night, only for him to disappoint me. The last thing I wanted was to go out with this bitch of his wife. This was supposed our first official romantic outing together after almost four years of being away and not knowing what it felt like to wear makeup and a beautiful expensive dress to go on a date. It was meant to be just the two of us. Alone with no one else.Throughout that s

    CHAPTER 157HEATHER’S POV “Heather… what the fuck!... Where have you been all this while…and…why do you look like this?”He welcomed me in, taking a close look at my face. I cried my way into the apartment, putting on a pitiful act after which he quickly closed the door.“Who did this to you?” He tucked a messy strand of my hair away from my face and asked in concern. He clutched my chin and moved my face from side to side to assess the severity of the damage. “Did you get into a fight?”I shook my head in response. He should have known me better by now. I’m not the type of ladies who fight or make a scene in public.“Tell me…did Ben do this to you?” He asked me that carefully as if I were made of a delicate ceramic, the angry look on his face intensifying.I nodded slowly and that prompted him to lose control.“Fuck…” He tightened his jaw. His face contorted out of shape with a boiling rage as he punched the wall with a furious roar.I flinched in fear. I have never seen him this a

    CHAPTER 158BIANCA’S POVMy heart ached in my chest. I didn’t know why Richard was so blunt to me. From his expression, it was obvious he was still upset. I thought that was subsiding after I told him Ben might be responsible for Heather’s disappearance. Not me.Perhaps, Heather might have told him something that him made suspect me again. My heart beat unsteadily on thinking of what she might have told him.“No…no….no….this can’t be true,” I grimaced, biting onto my index finger. She must have told him I left her for Dylan. Gosh…this wasn’t good at all. Overcoming a slight pain in my feet, I turned to face Heather’s bedroom, my mind running wild with a cacophony of thoughts. What did she tell him? What could they be talking about now? Where the hell has she been all this while?I never wanted to go to Dylan at first. She made me. So if this happened, it was partly her fault. And she could have easily waited for me in that spot like I told her to. Even a five-year-old could have he

If Heather hadn’t stopped me, I would have been ready to find him wherever he was in this world and end him once and for all. He doesn’t deserve to live at all.And not to mention B. I never thought in a thousand years that she’d lie to me after the promises we made to each other. How could she tell me she had gone to see a friend when it was actually her ex-boyfriend? Who was it?No doubt it was that lawyer who thought he was better than everyone else because of his prestigious position. David. That’s his name. After what happened at our wedding reception dinner, the last thing I wanted was for him to have anything to do in the lives of B and me.If B had gone to see him then there was every chance she’d been seeing him behind my back ever since. How could she? I never expected this from her.I gently led Heather down to the e

They included hardcopy photos of him meeting with known traffickers, his workers growing and producing some of the illegal substances in their secret hideout location, financial records of illicit transactions, and surveillance footage of drug exchanges.Heather had done well in sharing some hints that helped Mr Sam in gathering all these. I was mesmerized by how much she knew. And Mr. Sam turned out to be as good as B said he would. Everything was on point and he didn’t take long to get the job done without Ben or his colleagues and workers suspecting anything.The phone Heather brought back that had the videos and the anonymous social media account Ben used to spread video plus these photos were everything and more we needed to finally take that bastard down.

    CHAPTER 161BIANCA’S POVLast night seemed to last forever. I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t know why. For some reason, I thought I was losing Richard. He had changed drastically. He wasn’t the same Richard I knew. The same Richard I married.I can’t believe he will think everything I told him was a lie. I can’t believe he’ll think I am a liar. Of course, I really hurt my feet. I wasn’t faking it. If not for the little massage Gideon had given me, I didn’t think I would be walking properly by now.I have told him severally I wasn’t responsible for what happened to Heather. I knew I was bent on sending her away before, but now I wasn’t. I was willing to help her but Richard doesn’t see it that way.How can he even think I have been seeing Dylan behind his back? I never thought Richard would stoop so low as to think that. Dylan was a good-for-nothing womanizing piece of shit who karma will soon catch up with. With the post I made about him on IG, his life must have been destroyed by now.

I have shown you nothing but care and kindness since you came here and I knew what happened to you. Everything you are putting on right now is my money and you still have the guts to talk to me like this. I don’t know what has gotten over you this morning. But whatever it is, you had better keep it aside. My husband now hates me because of whatever you told him yesterday. And now, you are going to reverse that. You’re going to tell him what exactly happened….”“You are spitting on me Bianca,” she cut me off, squeezing her face as though I was something unpleasant. “It’s not like I forced you to care for me or take me out shopping and spend on me.

    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

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.
