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 POVI caught sight of Elsie and frowned. The fact that she was going to come with us made my brows twitched.“She's coming with us,” Gideon said.I cleared my throat and swallowed hard before forcing a smile on my face. The fact that Elsie and Charles would be together all the time was making me jealous and uncomfortable . I bite my lips and got into the car, I sat at the back seat with Elise and let the two men sit at the front. I couldn't stop stealing glances at Charles.I turned to Elsie and forced a smile to my face before saying in a low voice, “you look so fine,”“I know right? Anyways thank you for the compliment,” she responded and a frown immediately appeared on my face. I wasn't just displeased by her answer but I felt like taking back my words.Elsie was indeed beautiful but the fact that she was Charles girlfriend made me feel so jealous and intimidated.Gideon drove towards the spot where we'd be having the beach party.“Em, Gideon, I was thinking… I wanted to i
Gideon's POVI felt her ass riding and stroking me. I moaned in the restroom."Are you enjoying it?" She asked. I didn't know that Elsie could be this naughty.I placed my hand on her boobs and cupped it before squeezing it.I swallowed hard, unable to take the little view of her boobs that I had, I tore her dress."Look who is getting messy," She said.I slapped her ass and squeezed her boobs,handling her to rough, forgetting that she was my brother's girlfriend.I had not had anything to do with any other woman that isn't bianca and each time in time, I have always been so easy and soft on her.I dragged the the clothing around her waist, it was the ripped gown and I put my hand around her neck before going down to suck her boobs. She didn't make a single word of complain. Suddenly, my phone started to ring and in shock, she moved away from me and I did the same thing, without even checking who the caller was, I quickly wore my clothes while she dragged any cloth that she saw in th
Bianca's POVAs they left, I turned to gaze at Charles and swallowed hard before rubbing my hand together."Do you think Gideon is testing us? The way he has been leaving us to stay together for the past few minutes is suspicious," Bianca said and then closed her eyes before taking one of the drinks that Gideon brought."So Charles, about the secretary that you're talking about, do you mean that I can resume my job there?" I asked and Charles cleared his throat."I think we need to stop anything that we're doing now, when you start working for me again, I need is to be professional, we shouldn't keep the act up again," Charles said and cleared his throat.I immediately felt a lump in my chest but I managed to remain calm, "Why? What happened? You said...""Forget everything that I said, I don't think I can keep up making love with my brother's wife," As these words escaped his lips, I noticed that he swallowed hard.I cleared my throat, not knowing what to say, "now you mean to tell m
Bianca's POV"Your ex?" Charles asked and burst out laughing,"You're such a joke! Do you really want to compare me to your ex?" Charles asked and kept on laughing.I was immediately speechless, I didn't know what to say but I knew that he might be right because my ex husband was a big nuisance. After getting all the riches that the both of us worked hard for, he snitched on me and made it clear to me that I was nothing to him.Tears suddenly started to stream down my eyes, I swallowed hard, not knowing exactly what to say but I was sure of one thing, Gideon would never make me feel like this.I cleared my throat and wiped the tears off my eyes. Charles moved closer to me and took his hand up to my face before touching it.I quickly pushed his hand away and hissed, "you want to act like you care now when I know that you don't care! It's totally fine, you don't have to pretend after just showing me your true color," I said but Charles didn't stop trying to console me.He moved closer t
Bianca's pov The next day, I woke up feeling agitated. My entire body was aching me. I growled and stretched my hand towards the alarm that was disturbing my ears. After turning it off, I thought that I could rest for another 5 minutes before falling asleep. I bite my lips as I heard the alarm ring again. 5 minutes immediately felt like 5 seconds to me. I got to my feet and sluggishly walked into the bathroom. "Good morning darling," Gideon said. I didn't notice that he was up. He was putting on his tie, getting ready to head to the hospital. "I'm going to the hospital now, I need you to take care. If there's anything that you need, do not hesitate to inform me, okay?" Gideon said and I smiled before leaving the room. I immediately showered and hot dressed into a blue blouse and a black jeans. After getting ready, I gazed at my reflection on the mirror before leaving with my phone in my purse. I was feeling so determined not to have anything intimate to do with Ch
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
