Charles's POV She lunged over to my side with fire in her eyes as she snatched the phone out of the ladies hands much to their surprise.She snapped into two and threw it out of the window.She was panting heavily once she was done then she said still out of breath, “ You are nothing to me so leave me alone.” With that she raised the glass, that was a go ahead for us to leave.She seemed so down that I couldn't ask any questions. She wasn't her usually bubbly self, just buried in her work as she took little sips of her drink.I said softly, “ Bianca, are you good?” She turned slowly and nodded then pulled her eyes away. I was pressed to refuse that response. We were late for work and I knew we were going to be later.I felt like looking up those two but something in me refused, it would be so much better if she told me herself. So I rested and left it. I didn't ask her about it nor did I talk about it. I was just worried because she was too quiet. I asked several questions but she r
Charles's POV It was Elsie, she sent me a message. I don't understand. I rushed to his side, the blood gushed out of his chest. I pulled out the knife that rested in his chest as I applied pressure but there wasn't hope.He already stopped breathing and there was a scowl on his face. He died with hate in his heart for me, I felt my heart shattering. That's why there was a ting of familiarity between the both of us. My phone beeped and a message showed on the screen“ He had plastic surgery.” That's why he has a different face though the height remained the same- short.I searched his neck and I saw the mark, a slash, from the time we dueled and I almost killed him.“ He thought you would know though you chose Gideon over him.” I roared and yelled in despair, weeping like a child. I never chose anyone, I was stupid enough to think I could save them..I wanted to be the hero. I laughed at myself mockingly. I stood up with a stagger and the bloodied knife on the other hand. I got up
Bianca's POV I decked at his words as the bullet flew past my eyes. I couldn't turn, more like I was frozen.There was a bang again and I screeched. It was followed by a horrid laughter. I peeked to see Charles but I was held down by his cold voice and piercing gaze from under the table, “ Stay down.” I felt like crying, I was blowing air with my hands. My heart was jamming against my chest, the tears were pouring and my lips trembled but I held them with my hands. I didn't want to scream so I won't bring him to me..He was invested in killing Charles.I peeked from under the table, stood face to face exchanging death glares.I expected Charles to say something, he cried for this man when he thought he killed him so why wasn't he saying a thing.. This was betrayal. Before now, Charles stood without a gun or any weapon and I grew worried as the clock ticked and tension thickened. Short had a rifle pointed at him and he had the upper hand. I felt like all hope had been lost.He just
Bianca’s POV My face fell flat to the floor in despair. Charles had a stiff look on his face, he threw a look at the bodyguard, who continued moving with me in his arms.A doctor walked out breathing heavily with sweat trickling down his forehead and he looked at us with his eyes wide open. He emitted fear.. Charles stared coldly at him and said, “ Attend to her.” I started struggling in the hands of his man, I refused bluntly to be attended to first as I said, “ No. You were stabbed.” The doctor's expression was filled with shock as his back shrunk in fear and he stuttered, “ This should be reported to the police first.”Charles's look darkened, it was drop dead and everyone was frozen as he stared deadly at the doctor, then said amicably, “ Let's go.” He was agreeing to my terms but there were two doctors because he refused a male touching me.The female couldn't look into my eyes as she examined me to check if anything else was wrong with me, I grew worried the longer she took a
Bianca’s POV I screamed like a maniac, “ He's dying and you are just sitting around.” He looked shocked as he turned to look at me. I was breathing heavily, my mouth was wide open and tears ran through my face.Snots dripped down my nose. I was breathing in and out, wailing like a siren.He quickly walked out and pulled in another person, I turned to her and yelled, “ Is he a doctor this time?” She nodded slowly. “ Get to work then.” I said coldly, Gideon stared at me amazed, my eyes was totally different from usual.My eyes were fixed on him. He did the work slowly while he looked back at me, it was pissing me off. I occasionally let out a sigh then I said angrily, “ Can you stop? Do your work fast.” He nodded and pulled his eyes off me. Gideon just exhaled, sat by my side and held my palm in his hands. He quietly bent down and placed his head on it, before he placed a wet kiss on the back of my hand. He looked deeply into my eyes, and he muttered huskily, “ What happened to bot
Bianca’s POVThe fireworks went off in my head and I stared at him with a shocked expression. I didn't expect it and so did Charles. I held his hands and I said with a scream, “ Really?” He nodded his head.I just couldn't believe it, why was everything going so well. It was like a dream come true.I yelled so loud that my head beeped to process what was next and the two men stared at me awkwardly.I coughed with an embarrassed look which was quickly replaced by a huge smile, I wanted to get up and do the happy dance.I was just so happy.I quickly said, “ Bring your face! I want to kiss you!” He cackled, showing off his perfect 32 teeth with his dimples.He was the epitome of perfection and he knew that as his eyes glowed like the sun and moon were inserted into it.I breathed in and out trying to calm my racing heart, I was already making big plans regarding my children. But then again, I looked at him unsure. He didn't like children in short, in the beginning of our marriage he spe
Bianca's POV There was a pause in the room, I guess everyone expected me to stop and be the typical wife but I didn't want that myself though I wanted to laze around in my gallery.It turned out that even I was without an answer. I just stared blankly at Gideon, he snapped his fingers to get my attention with a worried look.I shook my head and smiled to reassure them both but it quickly faded seeing Charles was busy on his phone. It became an awkward smile, I just continued looking but he was lost in it. I said, “ You wouldn't mind having another secretary right?” His eyes lingered on mine for a while, but he said, “ Sure.” I frowned, dissatisfied.He continued, “ Just tell me when you feel like it. There's a line waiting.” That was harsh and abrupt but it was the truth.I just smiled amicably.I was done with my lunch, I settled down facing the ceiling, meditating calmly and thinking of the next big thing. In real essence, I was drowning in sorrow from the lack of attention I rece
Charles's POV I told them to stand down. I did it for her and not for him but they couldn't stop me from leaving. They saw they couldn't think otherwise. At this point, I felt like I needed to go to my mansion. There was no hope for me and Bianca, moreover; they already reached the decision to have a child. As I sat in the car, I muddled over the thoughts of a little Gideon and Bianca and I frowned at the thought. I found it weird and creepy, I never wanted to lose a battle.I had a stern look on my face, my thoughts were about how to change her mind..I was making different plans when my commander tapped my shoulder, distracting me. I looked at him with a pursed mouth and clenched jaw then I asked, “ Should I punch you or you do it yourself?” He looked shocked and held himself abraised. I snorted and helped myself out of the car since we were already at the house..my underground house.A warehouse, precisely. I viewed the large landmass and I nodded happily. I stared at it, thi
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
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
