Chapter 29

BIANCA’S POV

My mom kept talking, breaking our eye contact and diverting my thoughts away from myself.

“Today is your wedding day, a happy day. Don’t spoil it like this before you regret it, okay? You’re newlyweds, and no one is holding you back from catching your flight or enjoying your time together. In fact, you’re the one delaying right now,” she winked, encouraging us to get going.

Richard stifled a chuckle and looked away in embarrassment. Everyone, except for Nina, who maintained a serious expression, chuckled inwardly. Mom has successfully diffused the tension and arguments, restoring the previously cheerful atmosphere. This is one of the reasons I love her. She always makes things better, always finding the positive even in the darkest times. She was willing to sacrifice herself for the good of others and I admired her for that.

I reached forward and pulled her in a tight embrace, almost breaking down in tears.

“Thank you, Mom,” I mumbled with my face buried i

    Chapter 30BIANCA’S POVThis wasn’t the limo Richard had arranged for to ride me home after our dinner date at Dinnos. Although they were nearly the same dark creamy colour, this one was fancier, more luxurious and comfortable. It had great mood lighting, top-notch entertainment systems, fresh-smelling leather seats, and even a mini bar which was well-stocked with a selection of soft drinks, water, wines, spirits and champagne. The partition between us and the chauffeur was up for privacy. I believe Richard got this just for the wedding. How sweet of him.I buckled up my seatbelt, ready for the ride. The chauffeur hopped in, started the engine, revved it up, and drove us out of the hotel and onto the road.Richard was about to grab a bottle of vodka and two glasses from the well-stocked mini-bar when I stopped him.“Don’t you think you’ve had enough?” I asked, staring at him in confusion and disbelief. I didn’t mean it in a bad way, but after all that happened at the dinner table, I

    Chapter 31 BIANCA’S POV My face contorted in shock and confusion after reading David’s message. Why on earth would he send such a message? Was he trying to break up Richard and me? Even though I wanted to end the marriage, I couldn’t because the contract stated that divorce was only allowed after our parents passed away. Since my parents were hale and hearty, it seemed like it would be a while before that could happen. Despite that, I wasn’t bothered. We just got married over an hour ago. So he should cut us some slacks. I looked up and noticed Richard watching me closely. I managed a shaky smile, trying hard to stay composed. My fingers fidgeted as I typed a reply to David, but I tried to hide it from Richard. Me: Thank you for the update but I don’t think I’ll be divorcing my husband anytime soon. I let out a deep breath and tapped the send button. “Who’s that?” Richard asked, his thick brows tilting questioningly. “Who…” I tried to keep myself from stuttering, acting like I

    Chapter 32 Heightened CuriosityBIANCA’S POVI stared at him, blinking in a mix of shock, surprise, confusion and slight amusement. Nina, a bad influence and trouble? I couldn’t help it—I burst into an involuntary laugh which I tried to contain, dissipating all the tension David’s messages had stirred in me.Richard wore a confused expression, trying to figure out what was amusing about what he had just said. I’m sure he replayed the words in his head but couldn’t find the humor in them. I stopped laughing when I noticed how serious he looked.“Sorry about that,” I apologized, putting myself together as I cleared my throat. He didn’t say anything, just briefly glancing away. “Nina and I have known each other since we were little. I know she can be tough, feisty, and a bit troublesome at times, but beneath all that exterior, she has a kind and caring soul. There’s absolutely nothing to worry about because she isn’t a bad influence at all.”It took sometime for him to register that bec

    Chapter 33 BIANCA’S POV Nina’s words came rushing into my thoughts again. “If he wants the wedding this way, then he’s probably ashamed of you.” “Open your eyes B, he’s afraid of showing you off. He is hiding something. Maybe he’s married with kids in one or more of those places he’s been to before coming back here. Or has another girl he’s planning to marry. I bet he’s just going along with this marriage to fulfil appearances and expectations.” “Not again,” I muttered. Squeezing my eyes close, I shut my ears to the sound and shook my head to get rid of the thoughts. Richard’s expression hinted that the message came from the same person sending him those texts at the dinner table. Who was that? Who the fuck was trying to mess with husband and marriage? I had to find out. Curiosity was gnawing at me like a flea, and I couldn’t resist anymore. I tried to look at the screen by stretching my head, but it was useless. There was no point in stressing myself because he was far and I c

    Chapter 34 RICHARD’S POV After all that happened tonight, I didn’t think she’d respond to my kiss with twice the passion. I kissed her just to flirt, as a cover-up for those annoying messages her best friend kept sending. I couldn’t believe she had the audacity to send me yet another one to me that said: “A flight? Seriously?? That's your genius idea???You’re trying to take her away from me. From us. Well, if that’s your plan, I’m sorry to announce that it landed heavily in the mud. If you hurt her, even if you’re in Antarctica, I’ll fly over and make you pay with your balls!!” What a brazen bitch! Why was she so bent on my balls? I hated her but B said she wasn’t someone to worry about. If that was so, then these messages she had been sending were all just empty threats. I could see the messages bothered B. Maybe she thought there was more to it, something I wasn’t telling her. So, I tried to divert her attention, to ease her worries with some flirty talk and the kiss, not expect

    Chapter 35 RICHARD’S POV “We have to go,” I said to B. She was about to put my length in her mouth when the chauffeur’s voice came through the intercom. Upon hearing it, she became visibly disappointed, like a child who had their favourite ice cream taken away from her. Leaning forward, I cupped her cheeks and said with a reassuring smile. “We’ll continue inside.” Reluctantly, she nodded and got up. I stood up and pressed the intercom. “Thank you. We’re almost out. Give us a minute.” The chauffeur replied, “Ok sir.” For a moment, I thought he might somehow find out or had already found out about what we did back here. I laughed off the idea. He won’t. The partition between us is soundproof. But what if he did? I avoided thinking about it altogether. It’s not like he’ll do anything about it. He will understand that we are newlyweds with impatient needs. B and I took some time to tidy ourselves up. We looked like one heck of a dishevelled mess– our hair tousled, clothes wrinkle

    Chapter 36 RICHARD’S POV WARNING: MATURE CONTENT “I don’t know,” she flipped her golden hair away from her face, playfully glancing away as if in deep thought. “Maybe when you were trying to shove her dick into my face?” After she said that, she purposefully squeezed her hands around the back of my neck and her legs around my waist, feeling my growing arousal between her thighs. She looked like she wanted to drink from me. I guess all that wine at our reception dinner and water at the limo wasn’t enough to satisfy her. I pulled a playful face and said; “Are you sure? The last time I checked, I was pretty sure you were the one trying to shove it into your face,” I titled a brow, giving her a knowing look. She bit her lips. “Less talk and more action.” The next thing I knew she jammed her lips into mine, attacking my mouth from all directions. Our lips glided effortlessly against each other with a savage intensity. Like we couldn’t get enough of what our mouths had to offer. We w

    Chapter 37 BIANCA’S POV My heavy eyelids fluttered open to the sunlight sneaking in through the curtains. Instinctively, I covered my face with my hands to avoid the bright rays till my eyes slowly adjusted to accommodate it. I turned and twisted to see myself lying on a king-sized bed draped with luxurious linens. That snapped the remaining drowsiness out of me, making me fully awake as I wondered how I ended up here. The last thing in my memory was falling asleep on Richard after reaching climax. Did he carry me here? It seemed likely. I also noticed I was wearing one of his dress shirts. It looked oversized on me, but I kind of liked it. Since that night at the motel, I liked being in his shirts. It was probably the one he had on with his velvet suit yesterday. Wow, he even dressed me up. He was lying beside me, breathing gently. Good thing he didn’t snore. None of us snored and I was happy about that. He did say we’ll be sleeping in separate rooms. But with the way it turned ou

    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

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
