Bianca's POVI nudged Charles, signaling that he should drop me down.He did so. I froze, not knowing what to say or do.Gideon chuckled and shook his head."I'll have your bags brought to you, Bianca," he said, acting like he didn't want to talk things out."Brother," Charles stepped forward.Gideon paused and raised an eyebrow. "Brother?""You've got nerves, all of it! I can't believe that you have the guts to call me your brother when you stabbed me countless times. You're so unbelievable," Gideon said.He still couldn't process the number of things that had happened in these past few days.I stepped forward, not knowing why, but I felt it was the right thing to do at the moment. "I want to say thank you for everything that you did. I mean, I'm more than grateful, and I'm sorry that...""You don't have to. Get going already. I feel more disappointed that I was dumb and blinded all this while. Do you know how much I trusted you?" he asked, causing me to swallow hard.I knew he trust
Bianca's POVOne month later.One month had passed, and we still hadn't talked to Gideon for a while now.Gideon left the country after the whole incident and came back three days ago.I hoped not to see him around soon because I didn't know how to possibly face him.Meanwhile, aside from that, everything else was going quite fine. I didn't resume work at Charles' company; rather, I became my own boss back at my art gallery.Charles and I had a court wedding a week after I divorced Gideon, and ever since, he has been treating me right. I have had no reason to complain."Hey honey, what do you think about having lunch at Rizzo Restaurant?" Charles asked as he straightened his tie on his neck."That sounds nice. I don't see anything wrong with it," I said, and Charles leaned closer to me and kissed my forehead."Okay, hon, I'll pick you up by 6," he said before taking his phone and walking out of the room.I sat on the bed for a while. The pregnancy hormones were making me feel so lazy.
Bianca’s POV Have you ever waited so long for a miracle that when it happened to you, you were just not ready for the shock that would follow? Hell, yeah! That is exactly what I felt when I watched the news this evening and saw that my husband's company, Dew-ton, had just been awarded a multi-billion dollar project. I blinked back my tears of joy as I dialled his number several times, but it went into voicemail every single time. A rush of emotions swept through me as I thought of how this project would change Dan's life and mine. My Art Gallery? Yes! I was sure that Dan would upgrade my art gallery, and make it more sophisticated. An hour later, I sprang up from the couch, beaming with smiles as I heard Dan's car pull into the driveway outside the house. Within minutes, the front door was unlocked and he walked into room, holding his suitcase in one hand. There was a giddy thrill in my head as my eyes found his ocean-blue eyes. The same features that had caused me to f
Bianca’s POV "Babe?" Gideon asked, snaking his arm around my waist to draw me close to him. I looked up at him smiling. He leaned down to my face and his lips crashed into mine in a kiss. When he pulled away, there was a lopsided grin on his face. "In less than two days, you'll be fully mine." He muttered. His voice sent a thrill through me. I was still smiling, "Yeah, Babe. In less than two days." I repeated. Within the last five months, my life has done a complete 360 turn, in the most shocking way ever. Right after getting divorced from my ex-husband, I moved into my art gallery, as I couldn't afford to pay rent for myself. Miracles do happen, right? I met Gideon. He made me forget every single pain I ever felt from seeing my cousin get married to my ex-husband. Gideon was a medical doctor and a few weeks after we met, he did the exact thing which my ex-husband had refused to do. He upgraded my art gallery to perfection, without me having to ask him. His phone brigh
Bianca’s POVIt's been months since I slept with that stranger at the club. Since then, I had tried my best to be the best wife to Gideon. The guilt of what happened took weeks before it could finally roll away from me. Gideon never found out.That stranger? We never ran into each other again. My life was going perfectly well until one day. Gideon called me from work one morning with a big announcement."Babe? I almost lost the only family I ever had.""What? How?" I had exclaimed."My brother! He got into an accident in another city, and can barely use his legs now."I tried to sympathize with Gideon until he dropped the bombshell.."Charles will be coming over to stay at our place for a while until he gets better."I readily agreed. Well, I could do almost anything for Gideon. That's how badly I wanted our marriage to work, and I was more than ready to accept his brother as my family.So, we both agreed that I would pick Charles up at the airport that morning. I was a bit excite
Charles' POV"Wh-what?" She asked with a voice that was barely above a whisper. I nodded. The thrill of having her wrapped around my finger tips excited me. "You heard me right, didn't you?" I asked, "You cheated on your husband, and don't expect me to be silent about it."She broke into a cough, "So, you'll tell him that we f*cked?"This was getting more interesting, I thought. There was a blank expression on my face as I fixed a stare on her. "Technically..but, you will pose everything you've built with him. He's my brother, and he'd believe me if I tell him that you manipulated everything." I said. The shock on her face slowly turned into a glare, causing her to twist her lips in a snarl. Without another word, she pulled the car out of the parking lot. Silence hung in the car on the drive back home, as neither of us spoke to each other again.Two weeks went by. The tension between Bianca and I got more intense, with how we both put up an act in front of Gideon, as though nothi
Bianca’s POVI slowly opened my eyes, feeling sore between my legs. Charles made sure he handled me well, wanting me to come back for more.Turning to look beside me, the bed was empty. I growled and bit my lips, wishing that I didn't enjoy it last night."Oh, shit!" I cussed as I listened and heard the shower running. In horror, I stood from the bed and hurried out. My heart beating rapidly as I thought of what just happened.I picked my clothes up and instantly wore them. Before I could take another step, Charles walked out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around his waist. "Hey, angel! You're up." He said, smiling mischievously."What did we do?!" I yelled in anger and fear."What do you mean? We enjoyed ourselves last night," He said, causing me to growl in anger. I clutched my fist tightly and responded,"Gideon will kill me if he finds out! We can't keep this up or he'll find out" I said, pacing in the room, scared that my husband would come home at any time"What time did
Bianca’s POV "Babe, what's the matter? My brother is in the sitting room" Gideon informed and walked toward the vanity. "Baby, em... Nothing is wrong. I'm just feeling a bit sick, and I wanted him to help me with water." I lied "Ohh okay baby," He said and moved closer to the bed, he kissed my forehead and said, "Charles told me that you've been sleeping all day; I hope you're feeling better now, honey, or should we visit the hospital?" "No baby, I'm fine" I responded. I felt really bad for what I did before he came. Luckily, he didn't come home to see me in bed with Charles, we could have been having a different conversation now if that was the case. I stood from the bed, feeling sore between my legs. Well done, Charles" I thought and walked into the bathroom. "Sweetheart, are you okay? If you want, I can prepare a bath for you and bath you myself too" Gideon said, sending butterflies into my stomach but that feeling was immediately replaced the moment I thought about Charles

Bianca's POV Immediately after he ended the call, I turned to Charles, who heard everything.The divorce agreement was back at the house, I was silent for a while before finally opening my mouth to speak, "Tomorrow, I'll go over to the house to sign the divorce agreement." I lay on the bed, closing my eyes, trying to sleep.This was really want I've always wanted, to be with Charles with no guilt."I'm sorry honey," Charles said, caressing my shoulder."Sorry for what?" I asked, but he didn't say anything. The night was quite long. The next morning, I got ready, and Charles had to take the whole day off.We headed straight to Gideon's penthouse, and I signed the divorce agreement. This was the only reason why he hadn't come to his house to sleep.I gave him a call, but he didn't answer.Charles couldn't stop caressing my shoulder like he needed support.Gideon finally answered the call, having been called for the fifth time."Have you signed the papers?" That was the first thing he a
Gideon's povI was trying to settle down in the hotel room but nothing felt like home. My heart was racing and at the same time, I was worried of how Bianca would feel snd how she was doing.Why should I even care about her? Did she care for me? Did she care hoe I'll feel when she went ahead to fuck someone else, oh my God, scratch that!She didn't go to just any body, she went to my brother to get her pregnant.After the cleaner at the house came to me to inform me about what she had seen, I was turned.She doesn't sleep at the house with us, she only comes to clean and she noticed something as explicit as that, not once but twice.I still couldn't fathom any of it, where had I gone wrong exactly.After she told me about what she noticed her brother and wife doing, I was forced to keep an eye because I didn't want to believe her didn't mean that I had forgotten about it.I needed to be sure that I didn't call the lady a liar in vain.At the same, I was wondering why she hasn't told me
Bianca's POVI didn't have to turn to know who was standing by the door."What is going on here? Charles, I thought you promised me," Elsie's voice filled the entire room.I stepped back, unable to even gaze at her. The shame and disgrace written all over my face were alarming."What are you doing here? Haven't we talked about this? You're supposed to inform me before coming to my office," Charles said.The aura in the office had changed, and I felt beads of sweat forming on my forehead. I was already feeling so tired and grumpy because of my pregnancy, so I decided to walk to the chair next to me."What are you trying to do, Bianca? You know I've known about this for quite some time now, but there’s been no evidence. Was this the reason why you decided to start working as his assistant, pretending that you'd love to do a white-collar job?" Elsie asked, but I was silent.She had all the right to yell, but not at me. At the same time, I didn’t mind."Hey, Bianca. Stop pointing at her.
Bianca's POVI was dumbfounded as I watched him walk out of the room and yet had nothing to say.I wanted to go after him, but I just remained on the spot.This was the least thing that I expected. Although I planned on issuing a divorce agreement to him out of guilt, I was still contemplating it and was only 60 percent sure that it was going to be my move.Running out of the room after finally being able to move a limb, I started to wonder where Gideon had gone."Where's my husband?" The word "husband" was heavy on my lips. The realization that I still felt part of Gideon's life hit me so much.Maybe if I had issued the divorce, it wouldn't have hurt this much. I would have been prepared to face everything, but I didn't think I was prepared now.He was not in the house, so I decided to give him a call, but my call ended up getting declined."Where are you?" I asked."I'm crashing in a hotel for a few days. I don't think I can stay in the house with you. Sign the divorce agreement, th
Bianca's POV "You say it like you have any choice," she said, sounding very rude. I went to sit with the others, my body feeling pain almost all over. I checked my phone every minute and hour to see if I received any call or text, but I didn't. seconds turned into minutes, and I was getting tired of waiting. I decided to ask his secretary if she had any idea of where he would be at the moment or when he would come. If I had access to my system in any way, I would have been able to know his schedule for today, but unfortunately, I no longer work here, so there's no way that I could know. "Hey, do you know where he went? Or perhaps, is he in a meeting?" I asked. "He's in his office," she informed nonchalantly, without even gazing at me. "Wait, what? Charles has been in his office?" I asked, surprised. It was very normal that Charles hadn't responded to me until now because whenever he is in his office, he is always busy and doesn't have any time for his office. "Yes," she respond
Bianca's POVAs if luck was on my side today, Dr. Ryan stepped out of her office with her bag. She immediately spotted me, looking so distressed."Hello... Bianca," she remembered my name."Do you have an appointment with me today?" she asked, but I shook my head before saying,"I don't, but please, if you don't mind... I'd love to treat you to lunch so we can have a conversation.""I like how you put it. A conversation," she smiled."Why not? Let's go.""I don't have my car, though, if you don't mind us using a taxi," I said."Do not worry, we can take my car."We got to the parking lot of the institute. I hopped into her car, and then she drove toward a restaurant.When we got there, I got out of the car and we both walked into the restaurant.I must admit that Dr. Ryan has good taste. I didn't know a place like this existed in the city."This place is cozy; you must really like cozy places," I said.She nodded. I recalled that yesterday in her office, she informed me that the reaso
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
