THREE YEARS LATERRichard’s POV“Ashley, bring me the file of the Daystar group of companies with immediate effect. Also make sure to call the modelling agency that we'll be ready with their work in the next two hours” I shot out orders through the intercom in my office to my new secretary of three years as I went back to face the document in front of me.For the past three years, my company has soared higher and I've managed to reach the top ten richest bachelors in the world because my dedication to work has been twice as normal, It's the only thing I live for now.“These are the files you requested for sir” The secretary placed the brown paper file on the table.“Thank you, you can take your leave” I replied not looking away from the work.“The Queen has requested to see you sir, should I let her in?”“Do you need an official announcement for you to know you should let her in?” I spat.“I'm sorry sir, I'll let her in right away” She walked out of the door and not long after the door
RICHARD'S POVMy brain kept on telling me to go back home as I drive to Ladrade Restaurant to meet up with Bella, the supposed wife-to-be.The meeting was finally arranged much to everyone surprise, as they all believed I would never agree to something like that without a reason. The fact that I’m doing this without a tangible reason scares me too. Maybe I was not ready to move on yet ready to move on.Ladrade Restaurant is one of the best in town and totally for the rich and VIP. Reservations are t
RICHARD'S POV“Scarlet?” I repeated after the butler and unconsciously, I released her hand and studied her face closely as if the answer I was looking for was there.“Miss Scarlet, you're needed inside. Kindly follow me” the butler instructed and Essa moved away from me and followed the man.I was forced to follow them upstairs as I haven't recovered from the shock.“What took you so long, Scar?” I stood in front of the room listening in to their conversation.“She had a little mishap with the prince at the parking lot, he mistook her for another person” The Butler explained.“That's quite interesting, why will the prince even think he know a lowlife like you. His sight might be really poor” Bella is the modern-day Jezebel and her character had confirmed my claim, how could a person be this rude.“I'm really sorry about that ma'am, it won't happen again, we already explained things to him” Essa or Scarlet explained, I'm confused as to what to call her but I'm pretty sure this is Vanes

Richard's POV“The next step to take now is sue her, Richard. You need to take the custody of your child, you can't sit here all day and mop over the loss of a child to her mother who is refusing to let you have her. You're more than this Richard and you deserve better too. Sue Vanessa Decruz and get your daughter out of there”After she had slammed the door in my face the previous day, I walked away from the house with all the strength left in me. Suddenly I felt too weak to drive home, too weak to sleep through the night, too weak to carry my office documents and take a look at them, too weak to attend the board of directors meeting, too weak to carry on wi
RICHARD'S POVWithout thinking twice or thinking about what the outcome will be, I stood up from my seat and ran outside to meet up with Vanessa. Taking hold of her hand, I turned her to me to see the surprise on her face and the next thing I knew was her hand meeting my face: she slapped me.I didn't flinch because I know I’ll still get kicked too and I don't care, all I want right now is to clear all this between us.
Vanessa's POVIt's been seven days since I last saw Richard, a week of freedom from his trouble and visitations and one part of me is really grateful for this.But the other part of me is really worried, not like I care though but because of the last thing he said to me before leaving that day.“Promise you'll visit me in the prison after I'm done with them” Those words kept on ringing in my head over and over again and getting it out is really difficult.
Vanessa's POVRECAP“Where's Richard?” I asked“He came back to town five days back and hadn't moved an inch from his house, he's not picking our phone calls and the worst part is our fear, we don't know if he's dead or alive because he can't get to forgive himself for everything that happened” My heart crushed at his last words.PRESENT“That's really scary, what do you think we should do about this? I mean we can't just keep watching him this way, he might harm himself or something”“Exactly and that's where you come in. The Queen
