09~ Cold-hearted husband
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Rita came out of the bathroom with swollen eyes after crying her eyes out.
While in the bathroom, the reality of her situation hit her hard. She lost everything including her dog!
‘How dare Eric sell my favorite sports car just like that with no remorse?’ Rita wondered if he was always this cruel or she just didn’t know him in the first place.
She felt like a fool after falling for a person’s fake kindness. ‘The earlier I understand that not many kind people are genuine, the better for me.’ Rita thought to herself.
Being thrown out of her own house had left her completely traumatized. It didn’t help that, instead of being comforted by her husband, she was scolded harshly instead.
‘How could he be so heartless?’ She grumbled to herself.
Chris had not come back to the room so she got on the bed and curled up at the edge of the bed.
Anyone who saw her would take pity on her for she looked pitiful. But the thoughts in her head were

Taking a deep audible breath, Rita picked up the untouched food and threw it in the trash can. Elizabeth had been watching the whole scene from the kitchen and she couldn’t help but feel bad for Rita. Walking over to Rita, she got the plate in Rita’s hand and patted her back. “Don’t take his words to heart Miss Jones. The master usually has a sharp tongue but he’s a kind man,” Elizabeth said, trying hard to comfort Rita. Rita just kept quiet feeling resentful. ‘How dare he.. I put in a lot of effort, the least he could do is say thank you and tell me to do better but he trampled upon my efforts like it’s nothing. What a dick!!’ She thought to herself, seething inwardly as she thought of how she will get her revenge in the future. ‘You’re so dead Chris!’ She mumbled in her mind resentfully. Elizabeth thought Rita was sad because Chris didn’t like her food so she suggested. “How about I teach you some basic stuff? If you cook something n

A few minutes later, Chris entered a 24hour convenience store and walked towards the women’s section. Looking at the different brands on the shelves, he did not know which one was ideal. He took out his phone but put it back when he remembered Rita had no phone. He awkwardly read through a few brands which left him utterly confused. ‘What does with wings and with no wings mean?’ he mumbled inwardly scratching his neck. “Need any help sir?” A soft voice spoke from the side snapping Chris out of his trance. “No!” Chris remarked. It was already embarrassing that he had come to buy such a thing so he wouldn’t embarrass himself further by seeking help. Picking one of each brand and ignoring the admiring glances from women, he quickly paid and rushed out of the store. “Wow.. who ever she is.. she’s lucky!” The sales lady shouted after Chris who had already entered his car and drove away. On his way back home, Chris dialed his assista

Chris massaged the bridge of his nose, feeling his head ache. He did not know when he had agreed to marry Lydia but suddenly she shows up saying they will get married this year. “Chris? I came to pick you up so that I can choose my wedding dress.” Lydia said and Chris just looked at her helplessly. ‘I already have a wife ok?’ He thought inwardly as irritation flashed through him. Chris’s mother had really gone overboard this time. She had one-sidedly promised Lydia marriage before he left for greener pastures years ago. His mother did not tell him anything until weeks ago when he returned to suddenly find he had a ‘fiancée’ waiting for him. Chris immediately declined and told his mother that he had someone else in his heart. He recalled the day they had argued about it. ~Flashback 4 weeks ago~ “Chris, I’m warning you. I hope it’s not that haughty girl that you still have your sight on. Didn’t she break you enough? The letter sh

Bang! “What the…” Chris trailed his words when he saw Rita at the door, ready to blow her top. She approached his desk while glaring at him and her chest heaved up and down due to anger. “Why the fuck did you ask companies to shun me? Christopher Stevens what the hell are you up to?” Rita hissed. “Hello to you too.” Chris muttered with a cocky smirk. Irritation flashed through Rita and she felt like strangling Chris. ‘How dare he..’ “I don’t know what you are talking about.” Chris said as he stood up and walked around the table to stand face to face with Rita. “Oh please, cut the charade. I was told it was you. Honestly, I never thought you could be so despicable!!!” Rita shouted, her cheeks were puffed up due to anger and Chris thought she looked adorable. When Chris didn’t respond, Rita became more angry. “What’s your intention huh? To keep me as your caged little bird? What are you so afraid of hmmm? That if I get a

“What’s happening here?” The restaurant manager came forward and questioned. People in the restaurant just stared at them in amusement. Of course they wouldn’t lose the opportunity to watch some drama. Life was boring after all. Rita’s heart raced when she saw the huge manager. Rushing to the unconscious man, she tugged at his sleeve to see if he was awake. She pressed two of her fingers together and placed them on his neck to check his pulse. Suddenly, she was yanked away from the man and came face to face with Chris who had bloodshot eyes. “Don’t you dare touch another man!!” He roared, anger evident in his voice as he gritted his teeth. The sight of Rita’s smooth hands touching that disgusting man irked him. Strangely he wanted to be the only one she touched. Even though he knew that he was treading a dangerous path, he couldn’t help but get drawn to it like a moth is drawn to a flame. Chris’s harsh voice startled Rita and she trembled slig

A few hours had passed and Chris was beginning to get antsy. He had expected Rita to barge into his office to demand an explanation for why he had given her such a job. But according to John, she was working in silence, not looking angry at all. Chris grabbed his phone and texted John. Chris: How’s it going? John: It’s going fine sir. Madam seems to have adjusted already. Chris furrowed his brow at the response. He texted back. Chris: Does she look angry? John: No sir… she’s smiling occasionally. Chris sighed and put his phone back on the table, pinching the bridge of his nose. He never expected the spoilt princess to be so headstrong. He only wanted to humble her. Back then, she had said he was out of her league. Yet, ten years later, she had become an assistant to the man she scorned for not having a bright future. She had become a little worm that he could easily squish with his hands. Chris had worked extra hard because of this. Because he wanted to show her that you don’

Rita kept looking at the clock on the wall, feeling anxious. Her heart was racing in excitement. She didn’t know whether it was because she would be going to an event, or it was because she’d be spending time with Chris. She was no fool.. she knew what the flutters in her stomach or the tingles coursing through her when Chris was in close proximity meant. It was totally confusing. She thought she loved Eric. After all, he’s all she’s ever dated ever since she came of age. Rita had to learn to love Eric in the past after seeing his efforts. He was a hopeless romantic. He would surprise her with flowers and gifts by her room’s doorstep back in the university. When she was once admitted in the hospital for dehydration, he had secretly entered her room and placed a humidifier and some flowers in the ward for her to be comfortable. Although Eric would pretend like he didn’t know what Rita was talking about when she thanked him for the surprises.

Eric Thompson had arrived earlier at the banquet and witnessed the grand entrance of Rita and Chris. To say he was shocked would be an understatement, he was petrified. He actually thought Rita was still incarcerated so seeing her here by the side of the most powerful man in the country surprised him to the core. “Would she want to take revenge on me?” He mumbled to himself. His heart raced when he thought of how she was involved with a powerful man like Christopher Stevens. “Relax babe, remember everything we did was properly done. Everything shows that Rita did it herself.” Patricia Crawford said as she tightened her hold on Eric’s arm. She had also recognized Rita and the handsome man who was looking for her some weeks ago. Her chest tightened with jealousy as she glared holes into Rita’s back. Patricia’s words had put Eric at ease. Indeed there was no need to worry for every evidence pointed in Rita’s direction. For some unknown reason, Er

Forced marriage: Dear wife, you can't escape me 82~ All that matters (The end)
Five years later…. Rita was in a deep sleep when she felt a scorching heat coming from her back. Then she felt a hand wrap around her waist and creep up to her chest, massaging her naked breasts. The heat coming from the hand sent tingles rushing through her body, eliciting a lewd moan from her. Rita felt the hand become restless as it slid down her stomach and slipped in between her thighs, massaging her core that was getting aroused with every minute from the teasing. “Wake up my love… it’s time to fuck, hurry before the children wake up,” Rita heard Chris say and she hummed hornily in response. Noticing that his wife was still in a daze, Chris moved his fingers faster, stimulating her now swollen bud. His finger penetrated her core whilst his thumb rubbed her pleasure button in circles. He roughly massaged the soaked peach as he thrust two fingers in and out of her. “Oh.. that’s it .. fuck! Fuck!” Rita hissed a

Chris stared deeply at Rita as love swirled in his eyes. She was just perfect for him. He felt like the richest man in the world because he had her by his side. She was his treasure, more than gold and the billions he owned. ‘Fuck! I love you..’ he thought in his head. He took her hand in his and said, “thank you for trusting me, my love. It means a lot to me. After you were betrayed like that, trusting someone else would have been difficult but you trusted me from the word go. I can’t help falling in love with you every day.” Rita’s heart swelled with warmth, “I can’t stop trusting people just because one person betrayed my trust. You’re not that person.. if you betray me, it would be a choice not because you are like Eric. I’ve taken you as you are.. as Chris.. I trust you and love you. Your hazel green eyes say it all, I know my trust is in the right place this time. It’s obvious you are deeply in love with me.. I can feel it and I can see it. It f

Two months after the honeymoon… “Daddy…” Leon Stevens could be heard wailing as he ran after Chris with his short legs. “No… Daddy,” the little boy tried to run fast but he couldn’t reach his father who had just walked out of the door in time. So he smacked his little hands together and started wailing loudly. “Leon.. daddy is going for work,” Elizabeth said as she lifted the boy into her arms. “No! I wan daddy! Wah!” Leon wriggled in Elizabeth’s arms like a worm. Rita Jones was seated in the backseat of the Maybach, waiting for her husband so that they could go for work. She watched in amusement as Chris went back into the house and carried Leon, trying to pacify him. This was what happened every morning before they left for work. While Liam was still an independent baby, Leon was the complete opposite. He turned out to be a daddy’s boy. Every morning, when he woke up, the first person he would look for was his father. Then th

“I love you so much..” Christopher Stevens said to Rita Jones in his husky voice while looking down at her lovingly as they swayed to the music on the dance floor. Several hours after they said their vows, they moved to another location for their wedding reception. It was an outdoor reception held at a place called crystal gardens. There was a white beautifully draped tent in the middle of a garden. The sides of the tent were left open to allow the guests to have a scenic view of the property. Inside the tent, metal poles that pitched the tent down were turned into stunning displays of lush greenery and vines. Chairs and round tables were decorated with a gray and champagne color theme. A romantic atmosphere was evoked by the assorted strands of twinkle lights that hang along the ceiling of the tent, creating a soft ambiance. The whole place screamed elegant and classic. Rita and Chris were swaying on the dancefloor as they did the first dance. The lighting made Rita feel like s

Rita Jones felt a sense of dèjà vu while she was seated at the very front of the ballroom. A distant memory flashed through her mind. She remembered when she was just taking over the Jones group after her parents passed away. She was very nervous back then, not knowing how she would be able to run the company. It took time to earn everyone’s respect and after a few years, they were finally ok to be under her leadership. This was why it was a huge blow to her when the company she painstakingly raised to the top was suddenly snatched from her. Rita stood up from her seat and walked towards the stage gracefully as Ciara’s level-up played. She sang along in her heart as she felt the song suited her well. ~ “five, four, three, two, one Leggo! (Watch me) Level up, level up, level up, level up, level up…” ~ Rita did a statement-making hair flip as she moved forward like the boss she was whilst the song continued….

Five months later… Rita Jones had gone back to work three months after giving birth. The Jones group was doing well and the stock price kept skyrocketing since they had introduced new products into the market. Apart from that, Rita had been working on opening a subsidiary clothing company with Jasmine. Finally, it was time for the big launch. The new company was being launched at the city’s intercontinental hotel. The ballroom was filled with round tables and chairs covered in white linen. There was a stage in front for the showcase of the wedding gown designs. The room was dimly lit with the stage having more lighting. Above the stage was a banner with the words saying, ‘welcome to J&S company launch'. The J stood for Jones while S for Stevens. Reporters had gotten wind of the event and were waiting for Rita to appear so that they could fire her with questions. Seated at the back of a black Maybach, R

There are so many things to be afraid of in this world but at the top of the list is losing the ones we love. Such was the case with Christopher Stevens and Rita Jones. After moving around aimlessly and finally finding each other again, losing one another would feel like the world had ended. When Chris barged into the ward and saw the look of pure panic and horror on Rita’s face, his heart squeezed painfully. He never wanted to cause her such terror ever again. He had hoped to find her still sleeping so that she wouldn’t find out that the baby was missing. His heart sank the moment he found her staring wide-eyed into Liam’s empty crib, trembling with fright. “Chris! Chris! Liam! I don’t know where …. Where he is.. I had slept.. he’s missing! I – I..” Rita screamed breathlessly as tears streamed down her face. Her loud voice had woken up Leon who had started to cry. “Baby.. calm down—” “How can you tell me to calm down?! I just gave bir

Rita Jones never thought it was possible to fall in love with someone she had never met. But there she was, staring down at her two bundles of joy who looked like their father with love in her eyes. After the boys were cleaned up and wrapped up warmly, it was now time to feed them. Rita was yet to start producing a lot of milk but the doctor advised it would come out as the babies fed. Liam Stevens was an independent baby, after having his fill, he was held in his father’s arms where he quietly enjoyed the pampering. Leon Stevens on the other hand was very clingy. He just wanted to stay in his mother’s arms regardless of whether he was still feeding or not. It was like he was demanding for the attention he didn’t get while he was in his mother’s womb because he was staying hidden. Soon, visitors entered the ward and Maria fainted from extreme shock the moment she discovered there were two babies instead of one. “Mom!” Chris put Liam in
