Bianca's POV “ Cough.” Charles choked on his water, his eyes swelled up into tears and they became bloody red.Elsie also gave me an intense stare, I bit my lips as I realized what I had unconsciously said.Gideon looked at me and said,” What!?” I knew he heard me loud and clear, he was just waiting for me to say it again so all hell would be let loose.Elsie piped in with a mischievous tone as she said too, “ I didn't quite get it. Could you repeat?”Charles threw a glare her way.But he also looked at me, he waited for me to say the next word but I looked away as though I didn't understand what they meant, Gideon continued pressing on it.I finally turned to him and asked in an accusatory tone, “ What is it this time?” My question threw him off the edge, he was startled and let out a stutter so he asked, “ What do you mean by that?” He continued with a piercing gaze, “ We are not in an open marriage.” I nodded, purely interested with a stern look. He pinched the space between hi
Bianca's POV I couldn't sleep all night.I could hear the banter from the other room, it resembled that of cats and rats.Day came and I was still uncomfortable, I kept up turning and tossing but the noise didn't quieten down. I looked at my phone anxiously, waiting for Charles to keep me updated but he didn't.Gideon still clung to me like a koala bear, oblivious of what had been happening beside him.I just stared at his innocent face, getting worried about the danger if he found out.I was almost driven to tears but I held it back.. I looked away, letting his hands clutch to my waist.He woke up with a groan, noticing the tears that had left a mark on my face and he asked in a worried tone, “ What's wrong?” I sniffled in the more that wanted to come out and I said softly, “ Nothing.” With that I got up from the bed, I was heading to the toilet when there was another commotion from the other side. Gideon rushed into the other side and I followed him immediately, Charles laid on.
Bianca's POV I paused, so did the others as we all exchanged glances in surprise. I guess everyone read my mind and thought Elsie was going to stay with Gideon but it turned out that at the last minute.. she remembered she had a boyfriend and wanted to spend the night with him.I turned to her, pissed, I hissed at her words and was about to disagree but Charles said in a soft voice, “ ofcourse.”He lifted her off the ground, placed his hands on her waist and led her into the tent.I felt like my heart had just been jabbed as a result of their actions but I ignored it, turned to the other side and I was about to walk somewhere.I didn't know where I was going but there was somewhere… even nowhere. Right now, I stood by the edge of the mountain, dangling my feets and staring at the sky that had been lit up by the stars.They were beautiful and perfect, I couldn't help but smile from admiring them. Just like a child, I raised my fingers and counted them in the sky with a blush and puc
Bianca's POV My eyes widened in shock, my legs agile.. about to jump from shock. I eventually jumped, I paused.. my mind stopped for a moment as I thought about what I had done. My back was about to crash into the hard floor, a screech escaped my lips and my pupils shut. ‘ Fuck fuck.’ I cursed. I grabbed the air, looking for something to hold onto and I finally grasped something in the air…I also felt a palm clutch to my waist. I looked up in surprise, only to see Charles's face filled with disgust. I turned to the side, I met Gideon's face that had a gentle look on it, thrown off by surprise.. I let go of Gideon's clothes only for him to fall. He said with a snort, standing up and throwing a smirk at me, “ I got my answer.” Gideon had a frown on his face, he asked shortly, “ Who then?” Charles held onto Elsie, just the same way Gideon held me with a cheeky smile stuck on his face. I felt like wiping that off his face with a slap, I moved forward with a snort and I s
Bianca's POV He pulls me onto his laps, I look over to the side in fear as Elsie lays there, sleeping and snoring peacefully whilst he suggests that we just had sex besides his girlfriend.I pushed his hands aside, yelling in a soft tone, “ No. What the fuck.. Elsie is here.” He rolls his eyes at her name, flicking his fingers beside her ear, and waving his fingers above her eye. I felt I was about to die as I watched him do all of those..“ What if she wakes up?” I thought.I grabbed his fingers midway and I asked in an upset tone, “ Are you mad?” He looked over at me with a cheeky smile, placing my hands back on his shoulders as he whispered softly, “ She sleeps like a log.”I couldn't take that chance, so I pulled my hands back and I stared at her for a long time. In a resigned, self guilt tone, I said, “ We can't do this… have you gotten her phone?” He smiled.He didn't say a word but just smiled at me, I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows…considering if I should dig the ans
Bianca's POV I looked at him with a shy gaze, unknown of what to do asides strip me off my clothes like I had no dignity. Soft moans, soft gasps escaped my lips. I stared into his eyes, intoxicated by his touch. His teeth bit into my delicate boobs, sucking and grazing on it with the sharpness of his teeth.“ Charles.” I said with a gasp, curling my hands around his neck, looking deep into his eyes and kissing him like my life depended on it.“ Fuck you are beautiful.” He said with a groan, his eyes filled with love and honesty. The butterflies rumbled noisily in my stomach from his compliment, I was about to fan my face from the heat, which surged from my belly to my cheeks.“ You are red.” He whispered softly, giving me light pecks on my ear. He took my ear into his mouth, giving it a soft bite.“ Have I told you this?” I looked at him with all seriousness as he kept a steady and serious position about what he had been keeping from me.“ Damn sexy. Damn mine. Damn gorgeous.” He s
Elsie’s POV I walked into the tent, feeling astonished as I stared at his abs. They glowed from the little amount of moonlight that penetrated the tent.He looked majestic. I couldn't find a word to describe him because he looked so fucking hot.He was breathing softly, his chest heaving and his cheeks with a thin shade of red and his lips were pink.I mumbled softly under my breath, “ Gideon.” His eyes clicked open and they were filled with disdain but still carried an air of nobility. Now I found myself the reason why Bianca didn't want to let go of either of them…with this I licked my lips and told him in a sultry voice, “ I have something to tell you.” He ignored my words, he didn't want to listen to it.He got up and he was about to move out from the tent but I pulled him back hard and he was about to push me away but it resulted in both of us falling to the bed with a thud.“ Agh.” I whimpered, looking at him with tears sliding down my eyes, hoping that it would touch him somew
Bianca's POV I slept off. I didn't know when I finished, I knew that by the time I was done, I was sore as fuck. I couldn't move a leg and all I did was just to stare at him with smiles in my eyes. My fingers traced on his face, caressing his lips and looking at it with an attracted gaze. I was considering if i should kiss him or not, he laughed and pressed his lips on mine before I could say I needed it.“ Why are you being shy about this?” He asked with a smirk, pulling me closer to him with an arm and placing his head on mine.“ Bianca, I love you.” My mind blew again, the stars flew in my mind and i just couldn't think again.“ I love you too.” I said back with a flush on my cheeks. He looked at me with a shocked look, surprised that for the first time I had said I loved him first.“ Really?” He asked softly, cupping my cheeks. I looked at him with a shy look, afraid of the right word to say to him, lost in thoughts.. The darkness creeped into my head, my consciousness shut do
Bianca's POV After Charles dropped the call with my husband, I got up from his thigh and took my hand to my hair. "This is exactly what I'm talking about! He already knows that I'm pregnant, and you didn't even think to tell me about it," I said, already realizing that I was in big trouble. "Would it have made any difference? I already got the answer that I want, and it's very obvious that it's me you want, Bianca! You don't have to pretend or lie to yourself by choosing Gideon; we both know that you want to be with me. If you wanted to be with Gideon, I'm sure that you would have told him about this baby; you would have gotten rid of the child," Charles said, feeling himself. "A few minutes ago, you made it clear to me that you didn't want to speak to me, but then you were sitting on my thigh. You want me, and you can't even lie to yourself," Charles said. I was not just feeling irritated by his words, but I felt irritated for myself. "Can you just stop talking? Can you stop ta
Gideon's POV"You're worried for a reason. I need you to calm down," Charles said. I narrowed my eyes, deciding not to bicker with him. "You know what? Just do what I ask, and we are good," I said before ending the call without waiting for Charles to respond. After making sure that Bianca was okay and didn’t need anything, I walked straight to the mansion and got out of the car before strolling into my sitting room. "Welcome home, sir," the housekeeper said as she hastened her footsteps to take my briefcase from me. "Thank you! What was made for dinner? I'm famished," I asked sternly. I noticed the way she was acting, all shaky, so I inquired, "What’s wrong with you?" "Well, sir, there’s something I want to talk to you about," she said, and I immediately recalled last night’s event. Last night when the housekeeper came knocking on my door, saying that she wanted to talk to me about something, but when Bianca walked into my study, I had to ask the housekeeper to leave. "Is it about
Elsie's POV Letting go of the dream of having Gideon by my side will lead me to live the rest of my life in regret, and that was exactly what I didn't want. "You don't seem to get it, just open your heart for me" I said, feeling broken. "Look, there's nothing I want to get. If it's about having anything with you, it's not going to work because my heart open for just one person. I'll advise that you do yourself a favor by leaving my office," he said. I took a deep breath and got to my feet, feeling angry to the core. "You know what? I totally do not blame you! I'll get you drowned in whatever you're on, and then when you're ready to have me, you can tell me," I marched out of his office and walked straight to my car in the parking lot without making any stops. It was hard enough for me to bear Charles's unavailability, and now I'm having to endure rejection from his brother. It was like the height of it because it was hard for me to endure. I got into my car and drove; I didn't k
Gideon's POV "So this is how you're going to treat me once I get married to your brother?" Elsie asked."You're not married to my brother yet, and besides, is this how you're going to come to my office when you get married to my brother?" I asked."Asking a question in response to my question, how....""I have a busy day, Elsie," I cut in before sipping my coffee. I hardly had a good sleep last night, and now I had so much work to do."I know you want me around. You only want to stay loyal to your wife. Believe me, I totally get it, but don't you think that we can mess around for a while? It's you that I want; don't you get it?" Elsie asked, but I was silent."I mean, look at me! I'm begging you for us to have a fling, but you keep tossing my offer away. Was it that bad when you tasted me? I thought I had handled you well, or is it a blowjob that you want? I can give you that," Elsie said. I narrowed my eyes, wondering if it was so hard for her to accept my rejection."You're not dea
Gideon's POV Before entering the room, I heard noises; it almost seemed like she was on a call with someone, but I decided not to pay attention to it. I climbed onto the bed and closed my eyes. A few seconds later, she joined me. The next morning, as I opened my eyes, I started to feel my head ache, but I had to go to work early. After taking my bath and getting ready, I left the house without taking lunch. I got into the car and then took my phone out of my briefcase before dialing Charles' number. "Yo man, I need your help," I said. "Again?" he asked. "Did you help me earlier when I came asking for your help?" I asked, frowning. "What do you want?" Charles asked. "Last night, after leaving my study for my room, I heard some noise from inside the room. I realized that it was Biance making calls, but I didn't know what the calls were about," I paused. "When I tried listening, it was of no use because I couldn't hear anything." "So hold on, you tried eavesdropping on her conv
Gideon's POV "What's the matter?" I asked again after waiting for some seconds, only for her to still remain silent. "Sir... This has been on my mind for some time now; I just can't take it off my mind," she said. "Go straight to the point," I said sternly, abandoning everything that I was doing just to pay attention to her. "Sir... Em..." Knock! Knock! The abrupt knock on the door interrupted her. Before I could even say 'come in,' Bianca opened the door and walked in while holding a cup of coffee for me. I narrowed my eyes, seeing no use in it as I was still pissed at her. Not wanting to talk to her rudely in front of the cook, I said, "Since you can't talk, then you can as well take your leave." "I'm sorry for wasting your time, sir," she said and bowed before walking towards the exit of the room. As soon as she left, Bianca asked, "What did she come to do here by this time of the night?" "She said she came to tell me something and can't sleep carrying it in her mind," I re
Gideon's POV "What? That's bullshit, she definitely has plans to tell you, she probably wants to make it a surprise," Charles said."Exactly what I thought at first but it's almost 3 days now, I tried making her tell me but it all went to waste," I said causing Charles to sigh,"Are you sure? Is any event coming up?" He asked,"There's no freaking event coming up. Why do you think I called you? It's already way too much for me to bottle up!" I paused."Imagine just now, she received a message from you and she immediately turned her phone over to cover her screen," I said and Charles was immediately silent."Oh, that... Did you see the message, it was totally about work," Charles said."Yeah but it almost seemed like she expected it to be from someone else and so when she received the text, she quickly turned her phone over," I said."Hmm that's old. Do you think she's cheating on you?." Charles asked."Well, I really trust her but I don't know what to think anymore. Slowly with her a
Bianca's POV Damn! Maybe I shouldn't have talked to him like that!"I'm sorry," I apologized."Just forget it! I understand that you don't want me, it's totally fine!" Gideon said. Just by gazing into his eyes, I could tell that he was hurt.I quickly took my hand down to my stomach and clutched it hard. This was a strange pain, one that I have never felt before.Regardless of our argument and the possiblity that I was just faking this to make Gideon ignore our argument.Gideon caressed my back and I sat up on the kitchen counter before opening my mouth to speak, knowing that some matter had to be talked about instead of forgotten."You're getting me wrong. There's no freaking way that I can live my life without you Gideon. About my phone, I don't know what I acted like that, I just had a message from Charles and it was about work," I lied, hoping that he wouldn't persist."It was about work and yet you guided your phone like your life depended on it!" Gideon said, narrowing his eyes
Bianca's POV I immediately turned my phone, letting the screen face the table, hoping Gideon didn't see that I got a message from a brother. That wasn't even the case, he could assume that the message is about work but what if he actually saw the content of the message, probably then, I would just forget about my marriage.Gideon was ready to do everything for me and I'm sure that if he earlier knew about the mistake I made in the club, he would have forgiven me but now, I have made the situation so bad that I have no way out."What was that?" Gideon asked. Apparently, he noticed the way I swiftly hide my phone screen after my phone beeped."It was nothing... Can you please help me refill the cup with water?" I asked, trying to take Gideon's mind off it."Okay..." He said and took the cup from me. I quickly took the glass of juice up to my mouth and drank the content of the glass until the cup was almost empty."This juice, where did you get it from?" I asked."I didn't restock the f
