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

We were in matching outfits - black head warmers, orange-brown Corduroy jackets with white lapels and black turtlenecks and chinos. People thought we were a couple.That day, we wanted to do something spontaneous, something new. So, we thought, let’s try out every flavour they had.

    Chapter 40BIANCA’S POVMy world shattered like a thousand pieces of glass right before me. It was so hard to believe, impossible; Nina, my best friend since my childhood. One of the few persons apart from my mum and dad who knew me better than I knew myself. The Nina I played dress-up with, did fun makeovers, sleepovers and built sand castles with. We stood by each other in times of trouble, even during times when we were the ones at fault. We always defended each other. The Nina I have done a thousand things I couldn’t keep track of was the angry ex trying to mess with my marriage.I shook my head over and over, trying to push away the idea. Hot tears blurred my vision and made my eyelids tremble. My heart couldn’t handle it. It felt like it split in two and sank deep in my stomach. What I was feeling at that moment was more painful than a burn injury.I sank to the ground, pulling my knees to my chest. None of this made any sense. It was like a tricky puzzle that couldn’t be solve

    Chapter 40 BIANCA’S POV “I don’t know what you saw,” he raised the broken phone to indicate he was talking about it. “But I can assure you I’m not involved with your best friend,” he scoffed as if saying ‘best friend’ was a curse. “Even if she were the only woman, I would never.” I stared at him in disbelief. This man was driving me crazy. I know what I saw. It was Nina’s number. Her only number. If he can deny it like that despite the clear evidence, then what makes me think he wouldn’t do the same to me one day? He can’t be trusted. “I know what I saw, Richard,” I exaggerated my emotions, hoping to make him feel he had no choice but to tell me the truth. If he truly cares about me and has real feelings for me, I believe he will do that. “You were flirting with her at our wedding, right in front of me. You didn’t even think about me… or respect my parents… respect our union…” He put his hands on his hips and let out a heavy sigh as if all this was too much for him to bear. Loweri

    Chapter 41 BIANCA’S POV I sighed when I saw it was my mother. Quickly, I wiped away my tears with the back of my hands. I couldn’t let her know I’d been crying. When using my hands to wipe didn’t help much, I lowered and used Richard’s shirt. It was teardrops, it wouldn’t leave a stain, so I didn’t have to worry. I cleared my throat repeatedly until it felt less thick. The call ended because I wasted some much time, and instead of waiting for her to call back, I decided to call her myself. After a few seconds, she answered. “Hey sweetie,” her voice blared from the speaker. It sounded cheerful as usual. Sweet and warm, like a songbird. I tried to match her tone even though I knew I couldn’t from how I was feeling. “Hey Mum,” I said with a forced smile as if she could see me physically. “How are you doing?” I paused for a bit before answering. “I’m fine, mum. What about you and Dad and Thea?” It’s been just a day since I last saw them, yet it felt like a month or even more. “We

    Chapter 42BIANCA’S POVMr. Sam was my father’s right-hand man, or I would say our family concierge. He worked closely with my father since I was a little girl, handling various responsibilities to ensure smooth operations and meet the needs of our family.Some of his tasks included helping my father manage the operations of his construction company, managing his schedules, appointments, our family travel arrangements, event planning, special occasions, and also sourcing important information. At times, he took me and Thea to school and brought us back when both of my parents weren’t available. Several times, he attended our PTA meetings.Since I couldn’t decide if Richard was lying or telling the truth and Nina would definitely lie when I confronted her about the matter, Mr Sam was the right person for the job. With his connections and how good he was at his job, I believe he’ll find out about Richard’s past life and relationships; who he’s been involved with or was involved with, i

And that was when the perfect idea for a cover up popped up in my head.“Bianca?... Are you still there?” She only calls me by my full name when something serious is happening. And right now, to her, this was some serious shit.“Yeah,” my eyes watered but I held them in check. “I just received a text from him. He said he’s at the gym.”“Okay,” she breathed out in relief.“I’ll go tell him right away…” “No…no,” she stopped me. “Let him build his muscles in peace, we’ll just shift it to evening instead, around 4pm. Do well to let him know before then.”“Alright, I’ll talk to you later, bye,” I hurriedly said, hoping to end the call before my emotions became too evident. If they did, she’ll definitely find out because my voice wasn’t good at hiding it and she’ll bombard me with another round of difficult unan

    Chapter 44BIANCA’S POVI stayed in the bathroom for a while, not because I was sad – although thinking about everything that happened between me and Richard and every other thing that followed made me a bit down. I lingered there because it was so clean and beautiful, I could almost sleep in it.The bathroom was fancy with marble floors, gold accented fixtures, frosted windows for privacy, a large bathtub, a shower cap that could fit two people, a stack of plush towels, and all sorts of high-end skincare products you can imagine – cleansing foam, moisturizers, scrubs, masks, soaps, fragrances and more. Even though most of them weren’t my usual brand, I used everything available. I bathed like there was no tomorrow, enjoying the luxury.Seeing all this made me wonder about his source of wealth. I know he is the Alpha’s son and all, but wow! This was way beyond anything I imagined. He mentioned renting out the place to vacationers who could afford it, meaning the rent was quite high.

Should he really be laughing at his boss’s wife like that?“It seems you are hungry, madam,” he said, drawing back my attention.I nodded hesitantly.“I can prepare something for you after I settle in your belongings. Would you like that?”I thought for a moment before nodding, hesitantly again.“Okay…” he muttered and was about to take back my luggage when I stopped him.“Don’t worry, I can carry them myself.”He eyed me skeptically behind his glasses. “Are you really sure about that ma’am?” he raised a brow.I nodded firmly. He still seemed unsure, contemplating silently.“Madam, you know you don’t have to worry yourself on this kind of things. I’m meant to do them not…”“I said don’t worry,” I

    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.

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

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.

    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

Heavens, please…I threw up a couple more times and the whole discomfort deteriorated.
