Bianca’s POV I sat on the sofa, giggling with Charles and enjoying his company. It was different and I felt indulged. A table caught my eyes: it was a modern black L-shaped executive desk swivel chair adhesive height office chair. It was stunning and exquisite, just like a dark night in the middle of the night covered in darkness and solitude.I couldn't help but think of Charles. It would be good to change the office, it contradicted his personality: It gave off a boring and disdaining personality. I looked at him looking all sexy, I said, “ You like black?” It turns out that he didn't want me to pick what he wanted but I wasn't picking it for myself and before I could explain that, Gideon came into the room. I was kind of shocked, I realized that’s why I was meant to be seated at the outside desk. He looked at both of us then said to me, “ Let's go.” I was astonished, Charles remained unfazed, he calmly got up and said coldly, “ Working hours aren't over yet.” Gideon was shock
Bianca’s POV Gideon frowned slightly. He didn't say a word to me, he just got up and left the place. I ran after him but he was nowhere in sight. I started texting and calling but he wasn't picking. I could only go back to the store and pay for the jewelry.It felt different. I felt bleak. I just sat by the bench, thinking of what to do next. My misery was being rubbed in my face as I watched happy couples pass holding their hands and doing sweet things.I couldn't help but sniffle. I sat there with my head buried in my folded arms, crying silently so as not to attract attention.Someone touched me. There was someone besides me. I looked up but I looked at the other side then I quickly wiped away my tears, a hand stretched out and gave me a handkerchief.His cool voice resonated in my ears, “ You look so cute when you cry but I don't like it.” I looked at him in surprise, it was Charles. I hugged him tightly, placing my head on his shoulder and I started bawling like a child.H
Bianca's POV My heart skipped a beat, I looked at his distant shadow in fear, I was frightened. He looked at me like I was a stranger. The faint stench of alcohol lingered in the house. It was stronger, the closer we were..it was all coming from him.He was drunk. His eyes were cloudy and they were hidden. I went towards him and tried to hold him in my arms but he got angry and annoyed.He pushed me away and yelled, “ Wench.” I was surprised. Charles stood in front of me taking a protective posture, Gideon let out a loud laughter as he picked up a bottle and threw it at Charles.I couldn't believe this, he was like a totally different person. I cried out, “ Gideon, please stop this. This isn't you.” He looked at me with animosity and said in a drunken manner, “ Stupid of you to think you know a bit of me, you harlot.” I gasped from his cruel words.“ Stop! Stop this!” I yelled at him angry, hoping he would at least snap out of it but he paid no heed to my words. He said again,” Go
Bianca's POV The door was closed shut with a bang then pulled open again, Gideon stared at us wide open.His hands went up and he pointed at us with a single finger, obviously shocked to the core, we both also looked at him stupefied.Charles let out a weird laughter then said, “ I heard her scream so I came in.” Gideon just continued staring. I had to look at myself properly only to see the kind of nightwear I was in, I let out a screech and covered myself. Charles started coughing, saying, “ I didn't see anything. I'm going out.” I watched him leave the room and close the door behind him gently. Gideon looked at me. He came to the bed, sat beside me, I scooted farther from him and threw him a menacing look. I didn't want him near me. He leaned over and kissed my forehead and said, “I'm sorry, babe. It was the alcohol.” I smiled mockingly at his words, my eyes not meeting his, obviously still angry. He knew it. He quickly said,” I will make up for it. No work for both of us to
Bianca's POVI looked at him suspiciously, obviously not believing his words because I knew that an emergency surgery or case would pop at any minute.He was staring at me cheekily with his hands swung over my shoulders. Charles had a moody look on his face as he brought the plates of pancakes over.I also had an annoyed look on my face. He was being all clingy, all of a sudden, he left my side as soon as there was a ding at the door. There was someone there.“ I'm coming.” Gideon yelled.I looked at him as he conversed with the person at the door with a hushed tone then took the package. He gave it to me.I looked at him confused, he said in a husky tone, “ Unwrap it?”“ Oh oh” I unwrapped it like he said and I saw a pair of golden rings, they were so pretty and shiny. It had our initials on them, he picked up the feminine one and knelt on one knee, “ My love, my partner in crime; My best friend and the mother to my children, I Gideon Van Cleef ask you once more to be my beloved and
Bianca's POV I was trying to have an amicable expression on my face but all I could muster was annoyance. I didn't get why he couldn't just leave work for a week.It clicked to me that we never had our honeymoon. All of a sudden, the food tasted bland in my mouth and I lost my appetite. I pushed my chair backwards and left for my room in annoyance. Though I went to our matrimonial room, I could still hear him arguing with them from upstairs. I didn't want to keep my hopes high because I knew he had to go so I just yelled from the top, “ Honey. Just go.” He had a dissatisfied look on his face as he picked up his phone and left the house. I told him to leave and he left. I couldn't believe this. I could hear the sound of the tired engine, mustering up strength then blasting off like a silent horse in the night. I was back to the rock bottom.Charles wasn't saying anything to me so I just took my defeat and walked upstairs with my tails in-between my legs but he then said, “ I gues
Bianca's POVI was shocked at his words and I stared at him in despair. Was this a joke or something? The look on his face now was damn serious.My hands started trembling, my body quivering. I fell but held myself with the painting.He was still staring at me, there were no words and no empathy. Just the beast that raped me before. I searched his eyes for the man I was falling for.He was staring right at me then he cackled loudly and held me up, I pushed him away and yelled, “it’s not funny, you know?”“Tsk tsk. You are weak.” He said. I felt embarrassed by his words and I was about to walk away, I was angry at him but he pulled me back and said, “It’s a joke, love.” It slipped off his tongue so smoothly that I just had to believe him.I nodded my head and pulled away his hands so I could walk back to my room but his grip was firm and tight. He said, “Please, paint me.” My heart softened but I said apologetically, “I don't have my stuffs here.”He said joyfully,” We can go buy. Let'
Bianca’s POVI shut the door behind me loudly, I could hear Gideon yelling my name behind me. I didn’t even know if Charles followed behind, all I know is that my legs moved faster than possible though I wasn’t running.My tears were threatening to drop; It hurts so much that I could feel my heart tearing and cutting, all my veins punctured. My heart wasn’t broken: It was shredded into crumbs of bloody flesh.My vision was blurry, I couldn’t see nothing. Just managed to see a dilapidated dusty bench that had one of its legs missing but I saw my crooked life in it. I sat on it, my face stained with my tears and snots. I laughed sadly; I was all alone again. He found someone new. A shadow covered the overbearing sun that strived to add more pain to my wounds, I looked up thinking it was Charles, I wailed louder. Only to look up and I saw his face, Gideon. I looked at him in fury. He had a soft look on his face, it spited me.I looked at him angrily.He sat by my side, scooting over
Bianca's POV I growled on the bed, feeling so hungry. I tried bearing it but it didn't work.I sat up on the bed, thinking that if I could drink some water then I would feel better but it didn't work. I gulped the water down my throat and gritted my teeth in anger before laying back on the bed.My forehead was hurting, apparently, the water that I drank didn't help reduce the hunger. I bite my lips and climbed down from the bed before exiting the room. I exited the room and headed to the kitchen.My stomach growled as I immediately dished some food out of the food in the pot. I wondered why they haven't turned the food out from the pot into a cooler so that it could be stored in the fridge.After dishing some food out from the pot, I immediately poured in some juice for myself before starting to eat.I sat there when I heard footsteps approaching the kitchen, I bite my lips, patiently waiting for the person at the other end of the door to walk in. It could either be the cook or Noah
Bianca's POV "Hush," Gideon said, putting his finger between my lips.He immediately pulled me in again for another kiss causing my heart to twirl. Noah slipped his hand into my pant and then ripped it off my butt before saying in a low voice,"I'll get you another one," I bite my lips because his voice sent shivers down my spine. I didn't know what to say at this point because I desperately wanted him to just take over.He brought his hand up to my hips and then slowly took them up until it got to my breasts. He cupped my boobs and used his finger to play with my nipples causing me to chuckle softly."Please stop," I begged because it was becoming unbearable for me."Beg me even more," He said causing me to growl before closing my eyes, letting the feeling sink in,"Please Gideon," I begged causing Gideon to spank my ass before asking,"Is this how you beg? By calling my time?" Gideon asked."What should I say?" I moaned."Call me your daddy," He said. I chuckled at his words but
Bianca's POV As I watched Gideon exit the room, tears welled up in my eyes. I was both heartbroken and disheartened. His words made my heart arch so badly, I walked towards my vanity, in search of any sharp object. I couldn't find any, I just wanted to hurt myself and feel pain in other places of my body. The pain on my chest was just too much to bear."What is wrong with me," The tears fell down from her cheeks as she spoke to herself."I let pleasure ruin my life." I said, trying very hard not to recall the day I had sex with Charles in the bar, the night before my wedding, letting one night of fun ruin the rest of my life.I made a mistake that I couldn't correct. I took my hand up to my forehead and gritted my teeth in anger before saying calmly,"How can I make this right?"The thought of going to Charles crossed my mind but yhay was going to be a mistake. I needed to find all means possible to save my home. A home where I had no ounce of love for Gideon.I only still cared so
Bianca's POV"Yeah, I'm done but I'm feeling really tired," I said and closed my eyes before trying to be calm."Okay honey, why don't I prepare a hot bath for you to relax? Does that not sound nice to you?" Gideon asked and I nodded my head in agreement.Gideon picked me from the bed, carrying me up to my the room. He dropped me on the bed and hurried into the room."You bath is ready love," He said and pucked me up from the bed again before taking me to the shower, after placing me in the bath, letting the water wash over me,"Thank you," I said. This was something that Charles had hardly done for me.He always loved doing me dirty in bed while Gideon has always been loving to me. I fell in love with Charles so deeply and I just couldn't fall out of love. Each time and almost every time, I'm always thinking about him."For what?" Gideon asked."For always taking care of me?" I said in a low voice,"It's my duty to take care of you, I love you so much Bianca and I can do anything for
Bianca's POV I cleared my throat before clutching my fingers together, refusing to listen to let a single word he says to manipulate me get to me.I bite my lips and swallowed hard, "Don't call me like that! Trust me, I'm not going to listen.... You've always had your way Charles, I guess it's like I start having my way," I said and swallowed hard and left the house, not stopping anymore.As soon as I knew that I was out of his sight, I briskly walked towards the road because I didn't want to stand anywhere that Charles could see me.I increased my pace until I got where I could hail for a taxi. I got into the taxi and it took me straight home. Tears steamed down my eyes, I didn't know what to say or what I was thinking. What does Charles possibly want me to do now. He says he wants me to keep the baby but I don't know if that would be a good idea.I bite my lips as I walked into the front yard of the house. My eyes fell on Gideon's car, my heart immediately arched. I mean, I knew t
Bianca's POVAs Charles walked towards the direction of the exit door, I finally snapped out of my day dream. I only imagined all that had happened. "Would charles really act like that?" I thought to myself. I wanted to call him to stay back because I haven't said what was in my mind but as I recalled what I had imagined, I couldn't even open my lips to speak, not to talk of calling his nameInstead of talking, I was beating around the bush, playing with words.He left before I clutched my fingers so tightly. It almost seemed as if the moment he left was the moment the confidence to talk came.I knew exactly where he was heading from here so I decided to follow him.I used the napkin on the desk to clean my hands before walking out of the restaurant.I immediately hailed for a taxi and it took me straight to his house,After paying the driver, I got down from the car and headed straight towards the direction of front door.I rang the bell and waited for a response but got none,I kn
Gideon's POV "Face what alone?" I thought to myself, refusing to think of anything in particular."They must have been talking about business," I said to myself before letting out a long sigh, knowing what I needed to do.I needed to run a quick test on myself because I didn't know what to call this anymore, Damn! What the hell is wrong with me? What was really gotten to this? Stalking Bianca, that was really uncalled for!I got into my car and headed straight home.I walked up to my room and then opened my wardrobe for something to wear,I quickly changed into a casual pants and shirt before leaving my closet.Then I noticed that Bianca's closet door was not properly closed.As I was about to shut the door properly, my eyes fell on how scattered the closet was. I walked into the closet, noticing the thousands of things on the ground,I started to put everything in place, I knew of how bianca could be when she's on her period and it's so pathetic how the cleaner never makes sure thi
Bianca's POVI woke up to the faint glow of sunlight filtering through the curtains. Gideon’s arm was draped over me protectively, his even breathing letting me know he was still fast asleep. I tried to shift carefully, not wanting to wake him, but as I moved, his hold tightened slightly.“Good morning,” he murmured groggily, his voice warm and soothing.“Morning,” I replied softly, brushing a hand against his.“Did you sleep okay?” he asked, his eyes still closed.“Yeah, I did.” That was a lie, of course. I hadn’t slept much at all, my thoughts tormenting me the entire night.He opened his eyes and smiled, planting a gentle kiss on my forehead. “I’ll make breakfast. Stay here and rest a little longer, okay?”I nodded, watching him as he got up and headed for the kitchen. Once the door closed behind him, I sat up, my head spinning. I needed to make a decision, and I needed to make it fast.This secret I was carrying—it was suffocating me. But every time I thought about telling Gideon
Bianca's POVI sat silently on the kitchen counter, watching Gideon move around the kitchen with such ease, like he'd done this a thousand times before. He hummed softly to himself as he chopped vegetables, his back turned to me. The calmness of his movements made me feel even worse. My heart ached with guilt, but I couldn't bring myself to say a word."You're unusually quiet tonight," Gideon said, glancing over his shoulder at me with a warm smile. "Are you sure you're okay?""Yeah," I said quickly, forcing a smile. "Just tired, I guess."He nodded and turned back to his task. I let my eyes drift to the countertop, staring at nothing in particular, my mind replaying Charles' harsh words over and over again."I'm busy with my girlfriend right now… don't disturb my phone."He nodded and turned back to his task. I let my eyes drift to the countertop, staring at nothing in particular, my mind replaying Charles' harsh words over and over again."I'm busy with my girlfriend right now… don'
