Bianca's POV “Don't run..” He whispered in a sultry tone. I froze, my body rigid and my eyes on him as I turned to him. He engulfed me into his warmth, placing soft kisses on my forehead and I cooed to his touch. I guess this was what I wanted after all, to be in his arms and I ran for peace but he was my peace. “ Charles.” I said softly, with a look filled with longing. I didn't know when I was pulled back into his arms, nestled in his strong chest as his hands wrapped around my waist. “ Let's go back.” He said with a gentle smile. I rolled my eyes, pulling my hands away from him as I rubbed my body like I touched something filthy. “ Okay.. I'm sorry.” He quickly said, noticing my annoyance at his words. My neck wrinkled as I spat at the words, mixed with ambiguous feelings as I said, “ It's nice and everything but it's not just my thing.. “ He looked at me in surprise, intrigued by my words, pulling a chopped wood over for us to sit on. “ Do you mind telling me mo
Bianca’s POV Fear clawed at my soul, rooted to the ground, my eyes fixed at the beast that continued snarling in my direction.A bear! A wild beast! Gnawing its sharp teeths at me, spreading its claws with saliva pouring out of its mouth. It salivated from looking at my taunting figure.. I was petrified.My abdomen aches as I tightened my legs from the release I was about to have.. I wanted to pee from the fright.“ Oh Jesus. Christ.” I screamed in my mind, seeing it approach and growl from my lack of movement. I couldn't turn my neck to see where Charles was, I felt like I was about to die.. everything came out so blurry, my eyes were dripping with tears as I quivered from fright.I could out softly, “ Charles.. Charles.” I cried harder, I didn't get a response. He ran as hard as possible, when he had seen it but I stayed back like an idiot.I was shivering from fear, I gripped my hands and I continued calling out for him.. hoping that he didn't leave me.I was weeping bitterly a
Bianca's POV I stared clear at his face, admiring his eyes that conveyed a message to me. I looked into his eyes , looking down the crook of his nose. My hands supported themselves as I placed my hands on his chest, listening to them beat against my hand.I traced my fingers on his slashed face with scars of the imprint of the beast. His words still lingered in my heart, a smile drawing out on my lips as I answered softly, “ Yes.” He smiled, his eyes closing but he pulled me closer into his arms, my head on his chest- his nipples- listening to his palpating heartbeat.He asked softly, “ Were you scared?” I couldn't help but laugh, my hands moving from his chest to hold his hands then I said jokingly, “ No..” He moved his hands to make me look directly at them, softly and gently, he asked again, ‘ Why? Because I was there.’ “ No.” I spat out.His face soured at my words, his lips puckered as he asked, “ What then?” “ Beauty and the beast.” I said proudly, the stars glistening in
Bianca’s POV My eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, my stomach churned and I stopped moving on his dick. I looked at the collapsed Gideon that groaned sluggishly, I plopped the hard dick out of my wet canal and with small steps, I ran towards Gideon.My legs shook at some point and I fell to the ground. I stood up almost immediately and ran to his side, I held his legs and tried to pull him up but I fell back down.I realized how stupid I looked, turning to Charles to ask for help. He had his eyebrows furrowed with a frown fixed on his face.He held my waist, carrying me up and ignoring his snoring brother on the floor.With a hoarse voice, he said, “ We are not done yet.” I glared at him, brushing his hands away and pushing his hands away with a nasty look.“ The fuck.” I yelled at him.Charles looked somehow, kind of lost and trying to pull himself into me and not leave. We were in a push and pull, he pulled me and I pushed him away.I struggled to meet Gideon, who laid
Bianca’s POV It was morning, I was woken up by the loud screech of Gideon as we had slept hand in hand with our legs curled around one another.It was blissful but torture. I felt their sweat dripping on my skin, absorbed by hair cells and transported to my tongue to taste.Just joking!We both opened our eyes, wide, staring at him, behaving frantically and wondering what was wrong..peeled ourselves away with a low growl.“ Good morning.” I said softly, peering at both parties and playing my clothes properly.He was reserved, he looked at us both.“ What are we doing?” He asked in a strained voice, his eyes peering sternly at us both as he got up and faced us with a perplexed look, that envisioned his rage at this moment.. like he was about to burst from fury.I had no words to explain, I remained mute. I just stared at him warily, picking my words cautiously in my head as I elbowed Charles in the guts to say something.He stared back, more like a glare and his lips twitched.He mut
Bianca's POV The fear on his face, evident, that he had done something wrong, something he was ashamed of and would hunt him for an eternity.“ Gideon.” I called out softly behind, my voice quivered, thundered in my throat and shook before it came out as a croak.“ Shut up.” He roared at me, his voice trembled slightly with uncertainty. He threw a look at Charles, I understood what that meant.. it was to run.I didn't want that, I couldn't help but scream and struggle. I was thrashing my legs and blaring my eyes out, I stared at Gideon being courageous for the both of us..“ No! Nooooo.” I yelled in pain, my hands grasping his shirt and shaking him like my world depended on it.“ Don't do this.” I said with shaky breaths. Another shaky breath, I was weeping and breathing insanely.“ Please.” I whimpered, peeping from his shoulder while I shivered in despair. I couldn't let this happen and Charles knew that. I clamped my long fingernails to his shoulder, piercing my fingers into his
Charles's POV Gideon! Bianca!I screamed like a maniac, I ran over to their bodies. Bianca dropped to the floor, I heard her slumping after she screamed a bomb.I couldn't say a word, I paced around their bodies, my eyes fixed on their chest. There was a slim survival for the three of us, my men were dead and I knew it wasn't Elsie after us.It was related to Gideon, that's why he thought he could handle it. I breathed in heavily, calming down my uneven breath and saying silent prayers as I stared at their chests that heavied. I was relieved, they weren't dead after all.I strode back to the cockpit, my heart racing: wondering how to maneuver this huge beast when I noticed something. The system of the private jet was slowly fracturing without me realizing.I blared my eyes, watching it go red and shriek in panic as we were coming down. This was the futile effect of the bomb.“ Fuck!” I cursed, quickly reaching out to smash my palm against the big red button.It was too much, I fel
Charles's POV “ Bianca.” A steady voice called out huskily, Bianca turned and the aggressive look that she had on her face was wiped away.“ Gideon.” She shrieked and flew into his arms without sparing me a glance.“ Ouch.” I felt in my heart, as I held my chest with a pained expression and I stared at the two that cuddled in their arms until Gideon flinched.He yelped softly, “ it hurts, wifey.” That was nearly driving me insane, she sworn over him and showered him with her affections as she stood up and rubbed his chest affectionately.The words slipping out of her mouth, she said softly, “ I'm sorry, hubby.” My fists clenched and if there was a glass in it then it would have shattered, my penetrating gaze bore a hole through the back of Bianca.I noticed that her neck shrunk, she rubbed it then threw a shallow look at me but I continued looking at her, cocking my head to the side.“ What's wrong?” Gideon asked, he noticed I was staring at his wife and Bianca acted oblivious.A s
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 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 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
