RICHARD’S POV

The guy was in a black suit and had round nerdy glasses. My jaw tightened. I emphasized keeping the guest list minimal, but this wasn’t minimal. And she’d never hugged or smiled at me like that – it was always nervous, secure, but hers to this guy was carefree, smooth, unguarded like they’ve known each other for long.

“Richard,” her soft voice barely above a whisper as though she was surprised to see me at our wedding - What? Sad and nervous I bumped into you and ruined your blissful moment with your nerd?

Her gaze scanned me like light rays. Mine returned the favour. The dress I sent her was divine. It covered her from neck to toe, hugging her figure perfectly, accentuating her slender shoulders, firm high-perched breasts and dainty waist. Looking down a bit, I can already see the toi et moi ring sparkling on her finger.

“Bianca.”

Her brows furrowed. I could tell it was probably because of the bridal bouquet I was holding. I know I said no flowers. But re

    Chapter 24RICHARD’S POV “Do you, Richard Smith, take Bianca Sinclair to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?” David looked at me expectantly. I was lost in the depths of her eyes when those words echoed in my head. Inwardly, I jolted and my breath hitched a bit. Was this real? Was I really getting married? If someone had told me this day would arrive so soon, I would have thought they were ridiculous and laughed my lungs out. But the day has come. The day was now. Marriage was never something I envisioned for myself after Heather’s disappearance. Tales of marriages falling apart and the demands and daunting challenges made me see it in a not-so-positive light. If my father hadn’t set this up, I might have waited until I was over forty, or honestly, I’d have been content as a bachelor. That way, life would’ve been simpler,

    Chapter 25 RICHARD’S POV On the long dining table covered in a fancy dark red tablecloth, there was a huge variety of food – grilled chicken, fish with lemon butter sauce, roast beef, a mashed potato bar with different toppings, vegetable curry, and a selection of vintage wine, along with other side dishes. Since David loved carbs and had a thing for bread, there was a pile of freshly baked bread and a container of butter to spread on them right in front of him. I couldn’t help but wonder how he’d manage to eat all that without feeling sick later. Strangely, a part of me wished that would happen. Like right now if possible so he can stop talking and staring at my wife like a fucking pervert. After signing the marriage register, we settled at the rooftop venue’s eatery for a reception dinner. However, it quickly turned into something like a high school reunion dinner, all thanks to David and B’s best friend. I watched B laugh out loud at the cock and bull stories flowing from their

    Chapter 26 RICHARD’S POV I furrowed my brows, feeling confused and disoriented. Worried one of those hungry reporters or paparazzi might be stalking me, I scanned the area, hoping to find one. If they found out about the wedding and had my phone number, the news of my marriage to B could spread like wildfire tomorrow. I don’t want that to happen after putting in all this effort to prevent it. But how did they even manage to find my number? Fuck!! This wasn’t good at all. Ben! Maybe that idiot ratted me out. Or even worse he could be the stalker monitoring and sending me this message. He did say he’d ruin every relationship I got into. And this was perfect timing. If I find out he was the one behind this, I’ll do more than punch him in the face, this time, I’ll make sure he spends the rest of his pathetic life in the ICU. My phone binged again, almost startling me as I quickly looked back at it. Unknown number: You’ll soon break your neck(a hand on the face disappointed emoji) I’m

    Chapter 27BIANCA’S POV“Already?” I frowned, puzzled and surprised while getting up.I couldn’t figure out why he insisted on leaving so soon. It wasn’t even late, and the night was still young. I was having a good chat with David, and we were just heading to his family’s house, which wasn’t far away.“Yes,” he breathed out deeply as he buttoned his suit, walking to where I was. He was acting kind of strange. I could sense it, like something bothered him, as if he couldn’t tolerate something anymore. What could it be?Ever since he saw me with David, he got all jealous and possessive, even though I assured him that David was just an old friend and there was nothing to worry about.Maybe it was those text messages he kept getting. I couldn’t help but notice, even though I tried to distract myself by chatting more with David. He seemed uneasy on getting them and typed furiously like someone was provoking him. Who was he texting? His ex-girlfriend, current girlfriend, or someone else

    Chapter 28BIANCA’S POVThings were about to get ugly, and I didn’t want that. Not on a day like this. My wedding day! I tried convincing Richard to let go so we could be on our way, but he wouldn’t listen. It felt like he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. My parents were the only ones who could intervene and bring them back to their senses before something bad happened. Surely, they wouldn’t disobey their elders.“Officiant of the year! Of course, you deserve a standing ovation,” Richard acted hysterically, faking a clap and giving David a condescending sneer. “Oh please! Tolerate and appreciate you, my foot! It’s not like I begged you to come to officiate the wedding. Left for me, I would have never invited you. Even if you were the last judge in the city, I’d rather fly across the continent to find another one.”Gasps and shock echoed around the dinner table. David’s mouth hung open as he blinked in extreme surprise and bewilderment, wondering what he did to deserv

    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 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

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
