BIANCA’S POV

“Why?” My face twisted with disappointment. “Why is it not possible?”

“Considering your husband’s position and status, it will take longer time for me to dig through and find all the info I can about him,” he explained.

I paused for a moment, giving it a thought. I thought that will make things easier because his life will be all over the media and won’t be a secret, so finding out everything about him won’t be that much of a problem. But Mr. Sam knew better. If he wanted more time, I’ll give him more time. I don’t want to rush him. If I do, the information he’ll gather might not be complete and sufficient enough.

“Fine,” I agreed with him. “So how long will it take you?”

“Let’s say two three days,” he estimated, seeming unsure but later came to a conclusion. “I’ll get you everything you need in not more than three days.”

“Deal,” I beamed and brought my hand for a handshake to seal our decision and conclusion. He hesitated a bit before bringing his forward. I

    Chapter 54 BIANCA’S POV My eyes blazed with so much anger I could feel the burn at the back of them and my jaw tightened till they almost went numb. I thought of cutting the call, but I needed answers. I needed to hear her side of the story. I wanted to know why she did it. Why she betrayed me like that? What I did to deserve it. I took a deep breath and answered the call. Her singsong voice came through the speaker, but it didn’t move me like it used to. “Hey girl, it’s been so fucking long. Sorry I didn’t call last night, got caught up in something and I got really busy.” Busy uhh? Busy with what? Ruining relationships? Snatching someone else’s boyfriend? Cheating on me with my husband? I kept calm and allowed her to keep on dishing out her nonsensical talks, my anger brewing. “Where are you now? Did you two fly to another city or country? I still can’t believe he took you away from me. I bet he did this to get on me and David’s nerves. How cruel of him? When can I see you?” S

    Chapter 55BIANCA’S POVAbout half an hour later, I spotted Nina entering through the entrance door of the shop. She had a scarf wrapped around her head and stylish oversized sunglasses that drew all the attention away from her face. She wore a long creamy black trench coat with the belt tied at her waist, and she carried a heavy-looking tote bag in her hand.I wondered why she was coming to the coffee shop dressed like an undercover agent on a mission. What could be in that bag that made it seem so heavy?It didn’t take her long to spot me where I was sitting. Glaring at her, she came over and silently took a seat. She moved the tissue box on the table’s centre to the side and dropped her heavy bag on it. Something inside rattled maybe metal things. But why will she be carrying metals?I crossed my arms, still glaring at her. Leaning forward, I snapped, “Look me in the eyes and tell me. Are you having an affair with Richard? What exactly are you to him? His mistress? Secret wife? Ol

    Chapter 56BIANCA’S POV When my fingers slipped and I accidentally opened Richard and Nina’s chat earlier in the morning as he was coming out of the bathroom, I only caught a glimpse of a part of their chat. I didn’t thoroughly read the entire conversation, and now, see what it has led to. It cost me my husband this morning, and now, it’s about to do the same with my best friend, who was only trying to look out for me. But all these weren’t making an entire sense to me. In the messages, Nina was threatening to hurt him if he messed with me. Richard was surprised and angry at first, but at some point, tried to flirt with her. Nina swiftly adjusted her bag, covering the tools even more, as she noticed a waiter approaching our table. She grabbed a tissue, wiping her eyes discreetly to hide any signs of crying. The waiter came with a pen and a small notepad to take orders. “Good afternoon madam,” he directed at Nina. “You’re warmly welcome to Sips n Savour, please what can I get you?”

    Chapter 57RICHARD’S POVI lost track of time in this mega club. I didn’t pay attention, but I knew it had been a while. I arrived around midday, and now the sun was setting. But I didn’t care. It was worth it as long as I wasn’t in that penthouse with her.I couldn’t believe she thought I was cheating on her with her best friend. That’s absurd! That wild animal who was mentally unstable. Even if she were the only woman on earth, I’d never consider getting involved with her. I’d rather stay celibate for life.Angry, I downed another glass of whiskey and slammed the glass on the table as if to shatter it. I didn’t care if I was drinking too much; I just needed to get wasted and forget everything. It was incredibly difficult to see someone I was getting attached to look at me like that. As if I were an irresponsible man who couldn’t control his urges. Like I was a contagious disease she was trying to avoid.Knowing she saw me in that light made my heart ache so badly that it folded in my

    Chapter 58RICHARD'S POVStartled a bit, I reflexively looked back to know whose hands were those only to see Kamara – one of the best strippers and dancers at the club. We sometimes have a good time together but with no feelings attached. We were just friends with benefits. The only thing between us was sex. Nothing more. Nothing less. “Easy there tiger,” she chuckled seductively. “It’s just me. You know I don’t bite unless you want me to.” Realizing it was her, I sighed and relaxed back in my seat. Her fingers slid to the valley of my shoulders, and she began to massage them gently. I purred. It was a good feeling, making me realize just how much I needed a full-body massage session. I couldn’t remember the last time I went to a spa for one. “You like it when I massage you, you sexy devil?” she teased. “Yeah, I do,” I breathed out. After some time, she stopped and said. “Why don’t I do it somewhere else?” Without waiting for me to respond, she appeared in front of me, spreading

    Chapter 59 BIANCA’S POV I stared at Bernard’s message for the hundredth time as I left the private elevator and walked towards the entrance of the penthouse. I know Nina warned me to steer clear of Bernard and his talk about Richard’s past relationships, saying it was all in the past and forgotten. But he seemed cool and friendly, and I desperately wanted to know who the girl was and what Richard did to her that made their relationship end badly, as he mentioned. And judging by Bernard’s expression at the coffee shop, Richard and the girl's relationship seemed like it ended very badly. But at the same time, I didn't want to do anything that would cause another problem between Richard and me. I had already caused enough damage. I needed to apologize to him for falsely accusing him and not believing in him. I didn't know if he would forgive me. It would be tough, but I would give it a shot.Letting out a frustrated sigh, I turned off my phone and put it back in my purse. I took out t

    Chapter 60BIANCA’S POV I couldn’t sleep properly last night so I woke up early. Gideon brought in the luggage I asked him to bring in yesterday, so I spent a good amount of time unpacking and organizing my things. Last night, I threw my toi et moi ring onto the vanity mirror but I didn’t bother to search for it this morning. I don’t think I will ever search for it or even wear it again. The ring symbolises mutual love. Eternal connection. But at this point, I don’t think Richard and I connected any longer. After I finished unpacking and organizing my things, I headed to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. I was sure they hadn’t woken up yet since their clothing and accessories trails were still as they were last night all over the place, and Gideon hadn’t arrived to tidy up. I thought of picking them up and arranging them, but to hell with that idea. I finished making coffee and toasted muffins. As soon as I placed them on the kitchen counter to eat, I saw her coming down the

    Chapter 61RICHARD'S POVAt first, I heard the sound of something like ceramic shatter downstairs, probably from the kitchen. As I was getting dressed to go check it out, a shrill followed. I hurriedly put on my clothes and went downstairs, finding B with a mix of confusion, anger, and shock on her face. The stripper girl from last night looked upset and frightened, wearing one of my favourite shirts that was now ruined with coffee stains. I wondered why an adult like her would spill coffee on herself. I hate it when random girls who don’t mean anything to me wear my clothes when they spend the night at my place – it’s one of the rules they should follow, but I forgot to mention it to her last night.Hold on… is that blood on her face? I widened my eyes to make sure I saw it right, and indeed, it was blood. Her nose seemed a bit off from its usual shape. It was…broken. Broken bits of ceramic were scattered on the floor beneath them. The scene resembled the aftermath of a fight. What

    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
