Bianca's POV I was flabbergasted by his choice of words, he just called a child that I had carried in me for God knows how long a bastard. I couldn't bear the thought nor the mockery attached to it. I was no whore so I wouldn't sit down there and let him insult me to my face while Elsie laughed her ass off.Within the blink of an eye as he spoke carelessly without properly arranging his words, my palm flew to his face and I smacked him hard. The impact sent him flying to the wall, a cold smirk was on the face of Charles.Gideon relented, growling at me like a beast that was about to eat me up. He held the wall for support, firing a cold and detached look at me.He took ready steps about to lunge in my direction and probably choke me to death but Charles stopped him with a firm look.I looked at them in fright, expecting a fight to result from this argument. Right now, no one was concerned or troubled by the thoughts that I was actually pregnant all along and I just lost it.Not even
Bianca's POV I was thrown off by his demand. I looked at him questioning and I said, “ I can't.” That was fast and abrupt, more like I didn't even think about it. I didn't want to think about it. It was absurd, divorcing my husband for his brother and I think Charles never thought this through.He was shocked by my response and so was I for a minute. He scooted closer, taking my palm into his as he said softly, “ Bianca think this through.” I shook my head, pulling my hands away from his tight grasp as I said, “ I already did, Charles.”His face paled, his look darkened as he stared down on me and asked coldly, “ What did you just call me?” I pulled my eyes away, looking at the wall as I said, “ Can we stop? I don't think this is healthy.” Annoyed by my response, his fists banged into the bed and gave it a punch.“ No no no.” Next he stood up and fired a punch into the wall, it cracked and a hole was made. I turned to him with a surprised look, turning the other way and immediate
Chapter 138: Sack letterBianca's POV “ I love you.” I looked at the sleepy Gideon, who still clung to my waist and was sleeping peacefully. A smile crept to my face, my fingers ruffled through his head and I pecked his face in all excitement.Things had been good, it happened like magic although I called it a miracle and a turn over. My marriage was back to normal, Charles was on my neck breathing heavily instead he stayed away and kept himself busy with Elsie. Though I still found myself looking at him unconsciously.I missed him.. really did.I removed Gideon's arms, got up slowly and took a peek at his face that glowed from the morning’s ray. He looked cute and handsome at the same time..I wouldn't stop myself from staring at him.I walked over to the mirror, stretching because of the pain that cut across my body as I stared at the love bites that spread across the delicate parts of my body.“ Ow.” I said, tracing them and looking at them. I suddenly screamed in excitement, look
Charles's POV Life hasn't been the same since Bianca left me.I sat in my office, staring blankly outside the window with disdain evident in my eyes. I let her go.. I haven't seen her ever since. She moved on and I had to too but I found myself stuck in the past.My thoughts were disrupted by the bang of the door, someone came in abruptly and my jaw dropped to the floor looking at her.She was beautiful in the dress I bought for her. The first thing that came to my mind was to pull the door apart and run into her arms.I missed her but I held myself back but I couldn't anymore. I pulled out a sack letter that I had reserved for her.. we weren't meant for each other and she knew that too so we had to stop fighting.I presented the letter to her, her face twisted into a frown. She burst into tears as she tore the letter into several pieces and threw it at my face.“ I can't be sacked.” I stood up coldly, with a stern look on my face. I picked out something from my drawer, I took steps
Chapter 140: BlankBianca's POV I sat in the room, staring blankly outside the window in despair from the emotions that hit me without mercy. My eyes watered in regrets from the emotions that I hid within me and never thought they were here. I shrouded in the darkness, hiding my head in pity.The curtain opened noisily and I looked at it with an annoyed look as I looked up with rage written all over my face, I met Gideon's face of concern. I didn't want to look at him, right now.. I looked like a piece of mess and I was ashamed to raise my head to him.. I couldn't bear it.“ Go away.” I said softly, tears sliding down my face as I wept quietly. My shoulders were shaking as I wept on the floor like a child, I couldn't put my emotions together. It's been months, I found myself texting him and waiting for replies but there was none. I think I called him way too much and he decided to block me, he blocked me everywhere and I couldn't reach his socials.I turned to a stalker though I sul
Charles's POV 3 months.The worst time of my life, the best time of my life. Filled with torture, filled with pleasure. I couldn't say it wasn't great nor bad.It was blank, that was the perfect word.. my life without her was colorless, I tried so hard to paint in those colors myself with Elsie but it was nothing but hard sex and unnecessary comments.My day? It only had one thing that kept me from not sleeping throughout it, her.. she still found some way to sneak herself into my life.I wanted her, I acted reluctant. She would send me little text messages to come back and for a moment, my heart would be swayed and her calls lit up my face and mood for weeks.I missed her and I needed her. I wanted to run back into her arms, fight for her with my brother and do risky things but she didn't want that and already made her choice so now we both couldn't step back from it.She couldn't nor could I.I stared outside the window, gazing at the stars and every little thing reminded me abo
Chapter 142: We can't. Bianca’s POV I didn't know what drove me, him revealing those things about me wasn't what made me leave. I just wanted to leave because I knew he would come after me. Just after he had come, I already built up a solid plan in my head about how to get him back into my bed but I was waiting for the right moment.The moments we were lost in each other's eyes and gazes made me affirm to the thoughts that we both still loved ourselves and drove me harder into luring him into my bed.I was just waiting for the right opportunity, when it came, I struck.. I left the restaurant without looking back and I entered the car and zoomed off. I ordered the bolt a long time ago and that wasn't the only thing that he brought with him but he also brought a package that I made sure came with him.lingerie.A smile peeked out of my lips as I examined it in the car, it was the right shape and size and it made me quite excited as I thought about what he would say when he saw me i
Bianca’s POV I woke up with a smile on my face.*Yawn*I stretched lazily on the bed, looking the other way and thinking that I would catch the face of Charles but I saw Gideon's face beside me. The smile didn't wither but it became frozen and I sat up soon enough and I made various calculations of how I got into bed. I didn't even know that they were back. I and Charles were so engrossed in what we were, a blush crept up on my face as I thought about it but the thing was..We didn't do anything, we both kept our hands to ourselves, aside from the fact that we were tucked in our arms and I fell asleep in his warm embrace.As I recalled this, I scratched my head and made a silly face but my phone vibrated.I peeked at it.A message popped up on the screen and I looked at it in surprise as I picked the phone up and it was Charles.Charles: I carried you to the room.Bianca: Oh, thank you ( smiley face.) I couldn't help but smile after that text message.He was back to normal, he repli
Bianca's POV I waited for Charles's message as I slowly ate the food in front of me. Regardless of how dizzy I felt, I still ate the food sluggishly. Unfortunately, I waited in vain because I got no response from Charles. I was too scared or perhaps guilty to go back to the room, so I decided to crash on the couch in the sitting room. Closing my eyes, I fell asleep immediately. I didn't do much work today at the office, and yet I was feeling too tired that I fell asleep the moment my body hit the bed. I opened my eyes, feeling pressed. I walked toward the bedroom, not wanting to use another toilet. I got into the room only to see that Charles was no longer on the bed, making me wonder where he went. Not pondering much on the matter, I walked toward the restroom and was about to open the door when I heard the shower running. Holy molly! Gideon was in the restroom. I quickly checked the time and realized that it was past 6 already. I didn't bother to go out of the room; rather, I
Bianca's POV I had a satisfying shower. For once, it seemed like I was thinking about something, and my head wasn't hurting like it had been for weeks. As I got out of the bathroom, the room seemed different, but everything was still in place. My clothes were no longer on the ground, and the dirty basket was no longer in the room. "Maybe the housekeeper has come to take out the dirty basket," I thought before going to dry myself. I walked towards my closet and got dressed in one of the night dresses present in my closet. After putting it on, I smiled and stepped out of my closet to find Gideon loosening his tie. "Welcome home," I said. "Thank you," he responded sternly, still giving me the silent treatment. I swallowed hard, taking a few steps closer to him; the thought of begging him crossed my mind because, in truth, I was the cause of our shaky relationship. At the same time, "Is this really how I'm going to keep on living? I feel that I'm still too young to be bearing the bu
Bianca's POV I noticed what she was trying to do. She was trying to find his fault and not mine. "Well, my husband did all he could to make me happy, and I was happy until I found out that the stranger I had a one-night stand with the night before our wedding was his brother," I informed."Okay, so you conveniently started having sex with him?" she asked."No, he made me keep having sex with him; he threatened me and I quote, 'If you refuse me your body, I'll have no choice but to inform my brother.'" "So you felt that the only thing you could do was keep having sex with him? Did you like him?" she asked."At first, I felt guilty, but it was for the first time. I started feeling good and believing that there would be no repercussions, but now, I don't know exactly how I feel," I muttered."And I believe that's why you don't know what to do, but we should take it bit by bit," she said."We should start with the repercussions that you're talking about. What do you mean?" she inquired
Bianca's POVAs much as my heart hurt the moment I stepped out of his office, I still couldn't help but wonder why Charles changed his mind all of a sudden.I shook my head, refusing to be a victim of his lies and manipulation."Are you heading home, ma?" the secretary asked."Yes, your boss is aware," I said. It was not yet time for me to start going home, but apparently, I had resigned.The aura around me was unwelcoming, and I knew better than to spend another minute here.I hastened my steps, exiting the building.I got to the parking lot and quickly hopped into my car before driving straight home.At the same time, I started to wish that I had a friend whom I could talk to or probably a therapist.The moment the thought of a therapist came to my mind, I parked the car and browsed for the nearest therapist close by.Everything started to hit differently this time; nothing felt the same anymore.Luckily, I was able to locate a therapist close by, and I booked an appointment immedia
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
