Ria said nothing to Olivia, just standing there. She did not want to give her step-sister the chance to rubbish her like she always did.

She was pregnant now.

She had to pick her battles sensibly because of her child.

"Every day, I am just simply disappointed in you and every single thing you do!" Olivia barked at her.

There was no response.

Anger built inside of Olivia as Ria said nothing, only adjusting her handbag in her hand like Olivia was addressing the air.

"Are you ignoring me?!" She demanded viciously.

"I am not-" Olivia's hands connected with Ria's face, cutting her off instantly. She had even channeled all of her anger, pain, and hurt into that hit.

Ria's head fell to the side, her eyes widening in shock. She clutched her cheek, the handbag in her hand falling to the floor.

"You think I do not know that you went to a wedding dress fitting with Chairman Blake?!" She screamed at Ria.

"He asked me to come!" Ria defended herself.

Olivia let out a cold laugh.

    Olivia stood frozen at the top of the stairs, staring down at Ria’s motionless body. She watched as the red blood formed a thick pool beneath her, staining the floor like ink spilled from an expensive fountain pen.Olivia raised her hands to her mouth, her eyes remained wide open with shock. Her breath hitched in her throat. "Ria?" She whispered, praying deep down that she would answer. She had not meant for this to happen. She had only wanted her to lose the baby, not die. “No… No…” she whispered. Then her voice grew louder. “No!”She rushed down the stairs with her heart hammering against her rib cage. She knelt beside Ria and shook her motionless body by her shoulders, desperately.“Ria! Wake up!” Olivia's voice cracked with panic rising quickly inside of her. “You can not die. Wake up!”There was no movement.Nothing.She could see that the side of Ria's head was bleeding profusely. There was a part where the impact of the fall has injured her Tears welled up in her eyes as s

    Charles Blake stepped into the room with Adrian following close behind. The tension in the atmosphere instantly thickened as everyone stared at each other in silence."I asked, what did both of you do to Ria?" Charles demanded again.Ria opened her mouth to speak but Margaret blurted out before she could utter a word. "Ria was climbing the stairs and fell."Charles glanced at Ria with narrowed eyes. He looked so angry that Ria felt like he would scold her endlessly. "And how the hell did you slip on the stairs while you are with my grandchild growing in your womb?""I- I- " Ria attempted to speak again, remorse filling her at Charles' angry voice. But Olivia stepped in."She was attention starved and did it to seek attention like always," Olivia cut in swiftly.Surprise instantly flashed across Ria's face at her step sister's words.The room went silent. "What are you-" Charles began to say as Margaret stepped forward. "Ria has always been like that ever since childhood," she infor

    A sharp pain stabbed Ria in the heart.Tears began to stream down Ria's face as her heart constricted in pain.The doctor looked up, instantly observing Ria's distress. "Are you feeling any kind of pain, Mrs. Blake-to-be?" He demanded."No," Ria whispered, her voice cracking as she looked away trying to hide the tears.But it's too late."Then why are you crying?" The doctor asked with concern.Adrian interrupted. "She is just emotional, you know, with pregnancy hormones and all that shit," he added.The doctor looked between them with a suspicious gaze. Her tears continued to spill over uncontrollably, silently streaming down the side of her cheeks and unto the bed. She could not breathe. She could not even move.Adrian's words replayed in her head with each syllable cutting through her like a butcher's sharp knife.Doctor Smith eyed both of them suspiciously. "Can you take a step back, Mr Blake junior?" Doctor Smith demanded. He had reason to believe that the man was upsetting his

    Charles Blake climbed and settled into the soft leather seat of the limousine with a satisfied smile on his face. The automobile purred to life as the driver ignited it. Adrian slid in next to him with a considerably less enthusiasm. The limousine began to move while Charles busied himself with his phone. He heard Adrian shift uncomfortably and hiss throughout the journey, the sound echoing irritatedly in his ears.Charles lifted his head to observe him from the corner of his eye without empathy. Adrian simply turned away and stared out of the window with a sullen expression on his face. It was one that caused Charles to shake his head in total disappointment."Are you pissed that we are going to see the woman you impregnated?" He asked."Father," Adrian snapped angrily."What?" Charles retorted. "I saw the way you were looking at her on our last visit to the hospital. You keep forgetting that it was you who made her like that!""Father she-""Adrian," Charles said firmly.

    Adrian had really not expected his father to actually leave Ria in the car with him. He had hoped that he would change his mind or that Ria would refuse to come. But there she was, sliding into the seat across from him with her face an obvious picture of surprise. Ria had not had any idea that Adrian would be there too. She had thought it would be just her and Charles like last time. "Adrian," she said softly as she settled herself properly in the seat. "I did not know that you would be joining us today." But before Adrian could respond, Charles leaned in through the door and spoke. "Adrian will be here to accompany you to the fitting, Ria. He is looking forward to seeing your perfect wedding gown, aren't you, Adrian?" He gave his son a meaningful look. Adrian forced a smile that did not even reach his eyes. "Of course, I am, Father," he blurted out through gritted teeth. "That is just excellent," Charles said brightly with a mischievous smirk. "I will call you both later t

    The moment Ria came into the sitting room, she found Olivia there. The young woman was seething with obvious rage."I see that you still have the effrontery to keep frolicking with my man," Olivia snapped at her with her own hands folded across her chest and shooting daggers at Ria with her eyes. “Good evening Olivia,” Ria said, planning to ignore her. She turned towards the stairs.“Oh save those pleasantries for someone who would be naive enough to think that you are a saint!""I never said I was," Ria mused."How could you stoop so low?" Olivia asked with distaste. "And now that you have succeeded in seducing my man, having a bastard child for him and also going ahead to get his father on your side? How do you feel being so evil?”"Allow me to be, please, Olivia," Ria said to her in a whisper, "I do not have the time for any of this." She was tired already. She did not have an iota of energy for any of Olivia's draining speech."You do not have the time for this Ria? Really?" She

    It was the night before the wedding. It was the day that Adrian had been dreading ever since that terrible day when his father had ordered him to take responsibility for that conniving bitch’s pregnancy. “How about we just elope together?” Olivia suggested with a sigh.They were laying together in his penthouse and looking up at the sky from outside his floor to ceiling windows. “You know we can not do that, my love. The only way I can get a hold of my inheritance is after I get married to that woman. I can not go against my father's wishes now. You know how powerful he is.” He lamented. His father had made it very clear to him that if he was to have a seat at his table and continue to enjoy his privileges, he needed to own up and take responsibility for Ria’s pregnancy. “Why does our love story have to be so sad?” Olivia lamented. Adrian could not help but feel his hatred for Ria grow. For years, he had longed to come back to his Cinderella and be reunited with her once again.

    The wedding hall was decorated beautifully with several arrays of white and red roses. There were white-colored decorating fabrics that were used to make drapes that hung around the walls and the high ceilings. The lighting effects in the hall fell over the skin of the guests who sat in the hall with flamboyant attires. But despite the pretty atmosphere, there was no joy in the air. The wedding felt rushed, almost forced.Ria was standing beside Adrian at the altar with her hands clasped together tightly. Her white wedding dress was simple and yet elegant. The wound on her neck had healed and there was no more bandage to diminish the beauty. The skin of her neck and collarbone was pretty on display.But, she did not feel like a bride. She rather felt like a prisoner.Adrian was standing stiffly beside her with an emotionless expression on his face. He looked unhappy with his jaw clenched. He did not look at her. He did not even speak to her. He did not even seem like he wanted

    Well, about forty minutes later, Ria was standing in front of the full length looking glass in her bedroom and struggling to pin her long hair into a neat bun. She adjusted the strands time and time again in a bid to make it look presentable for the picnic outing when Olivia casually strolled into the room.Ria turned to look at her, taking in her outfit. Olivia seemed to have outdone herself in getting dressed. Her fashion sense was obviously far from Ria's.Olivia stood at the door, halting. She took one rather long look at Ria and proceeded to sigh dramatically. "Oh, Ria, you are really a fashion disaster, do you know that?" she asked her before she shook her head in disappointment.Ria, who was used to being chided by Olivia about that, simply asked, "What is wrong with my outfit this time?""You definitely can not go out with me looking like that," Olivia declared before grabbing her wrist. "Urm, why?" Ria frowned."You, Ria, are the star of the show. My friends are all waiti

    "I only just wanted to invite you to a picnic dear sister," Olivia said sweetly.Ria frowned and stared at her sister with brows that were raised high on her forehead in question. "A picnic?""Yes," Olivia said before clasping both of her hands together. Ria instantly thought that she was being really suspicious. "Why?""Well," she began. "I may have publicly bragged a little to my friends about how my dear sister is married to Adrian Blake.""And so?" "They did not believe me and so they dared me to bring you over." Olivia sighed, her expression pleading. Ria felt torn between decisions."I will just need you to come with me, just this one time. Please?"Ria’s eyes narrowed into slits. "And why should I?" She asked because she needed a solid reason to say yes. She could not get over all of the things that Olivia had done to her these past few days.Olivia pouted. "Oh, come on now Ria. This is so important to me. You do not have to be so difficult about it please," she snapped at

    Olivia was stretched out lazily on the large but soft bed with her famous satisfied smile playing on her red lips. She had been clad in the warmth of Adrian’s arms all throughout the night. It had been a comfort and also a reminder that she was exactly where she belonged, by his side. Olivia was assured that though Ria still held the nonsensical title of Mrs. Blake, she had already taken her place in reality.She sat upright with a big yawn and reached for her phone which was lying on the nightstand.She unlocked it and punched in a series of numbers. Then she dialed the number. The call had barely even rang twice before it was answered by a female."Is everything ready?" she asked her while keeping her voice low."Yes, ma’am," the lady responded on the other end. "I have made all the necessary arrangements for it to go smoothly."A smirk instantly spread slowly across Olivia’s face at her words of assurance. "That is good. I want you to make sure that there are no mistakes whatso

    Ria stayed standing in the living room with her heart throbbing from the pain that gripped her firmly.Her tears shamelessly dripped down from the corners of her eyes. She stared at the stairs for a while before she stormed back to the breakfast table with anger and hurt fueling her movements. She lifted herself and sat down on the chair to continue eating the breakfast that Adrian had made. She forced herself to eat with the hot tears continuously blinding her and her palms repeatedly swiping them away.She could no longer taste a single thing.Meanwhile, upstairs, Adrian guided Olivia with care into his study room and shut the door behind her. The moment he clicked the door shut, Olivia stepped into his arms and hugged him tightly with a sigh, taking him by surprise."Oh Adrian," she squeezed him. She felt really warm against his body. "I missed you so so much," she voiced out.Adrian stood still, staring down at her. He noted that her hair smelt really nice, like a garden of red

    Ria who had opened the door was surprised to see Olivia standing there with a broad saccharine smile on her face. "What are you doi-""Get out of the way!" Olivia snapped at Ria with impatience just before she could say anything more.Ria stared in shock as Olivia sidestepped her and walked into the house with the heels of her black stilettos clicking against the tiled floor as she moved."Beautiful," Olivia mused softly."What are you doing in my matrimonial home on the first day of my marriage?" Ria asked her with a voice that was laced with annoyance as she closed the door.Olivia turned to her while tossing her long hair over her shoulder. "And can I not visit my sister at her home even though she had gotten married to my man?" She sneered with a sly smirk.Ria scoffed in disbelief amazed by her glaring audacity!"Your man,?" Ria said to her before crossing her arms over her chest. "You know very well who Adrian really belongs to."Olivia laughed, a high pitched sound that annoy

    Adrian’s body tensed the instant Ria mentioned Olivia’s name. Ria swallowed hard while already beginning to regret all of her words. She should have probably waited for a better moment. She should have softened her approach. But there was no taking her words back now at this moment."What exactly are you trying to say, Ria?" He asked her in a calm voice that still sounded dangerous. It sent chills down her spine.“I just…” Her fingers tightened on her thighs where she had placed it. “I just think that you deserve to know the truth.”Adrian let out a short, bitter laugh. “Truth? And what lies— sorry truth do you want to reveal now?” He shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest. "It is not lies Adrian," Ria said. It is the truth I promise." She blinked.“And what truth would that be, exactly?”Ria took a deep breath and prepared herself to speak to him. "You do know that Olivia has been lying to you this whole time? Adrian, it was never her, it was always me," she tried

    When Ria was done with dressing up, she sighed. She sat on the bed and stared down at her suitcase. She needed to unpack it.She wondered how she was going to bathe with her leg in a bandage. She needed to also clean her teeth too. She gritted her teeth in frustration while she berated herself for her clumsiness that had caused her to fall on the stairs.She slid down the bed, taking care with her legs and settled on the floor close to her suitcase. She opened it and searched for her toothbrush. It was bad enough that her childhood sweetheart turned husband hated her to the core. She did not want to add mouth or body odor to the list of things that made him detest her so much.She found her electric brush.She raised herself up gently till she was sitting on the bed. She then stood on her feet, avoiding putting her weight on her injured leg. She skipped on one leg to the bathroom, bursting into laughter at what she was doing. It amused her. The interior of the ensuite bathroom wow

    Ria stood.She wondered why he had asked her to sit on the bed. She opened her mouth, about to ask him the reason when he spoke again."Did you hear me? Or does pregnancy make you deaf?" He asked in a harsh voice.She did not need a seer to tell her that she was grating on his nerves. She did not even want him to keep speaking with her because she felt as if everything that came out his mouth was a sword that was meant to use to hurt her.She complied, lowering herself slowly unto the soft mattress. Adrian picked up the first aid kit and came up to her. She watched him with sad eyes as he undid the buttons on his wrists.She looked away as he drew the sleeves up to his elbows, exposing the skin of his arms and those sexy veins running along it.He knelt on one knee before her and carefully lifted her injured foot. His touch was surprisingly gentle as he stared down to examine the ankle that she had sprained. She noticed that it was already beginning to swell."It does not seem brok

    "What are you doing?" Ria gasped softly in surprise as he balanced her in his hands. Her arms instinctively came to wrap around his neck for support."I am taking you to the bedroom," Adrian replied in a stiff voice. "Oh," she said."You will need to change out of that dress and I will need to check your leg. I think you might have sprained your ankle.""Okay but I can-""Keep quiet," he told her in a stern voice. He was unwilling, only doing this because his inheritance would be at stake should anything happen to Ria or her child.Ria did not try to protest again as Adrian carried her up the stairs. She was acutely aware of his strong arms that were placed around her and her ear which was on his chest picked up the steady beating of his heart.She could smell the light scent of his signature cologne. It was kind of making her dizzy with emotions that she did not want to feel at that moment.Adrian on his own part was fighting an internal battle. He hated this woman. And he also
