Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 22: Give Me Your Hand
Ria was woken from her slumber by the sound of the front door slowly being opened. She felt a stroke of fear as she realized she was not alone. She was still dressed in her burly wedding gown, curled up on the couch. She sat up instantly -even though it took a lot- to stare straight at the door.She breathed a sigh of relief the moment Adrian, her new husband, walked into the living room with several bags of groceries in both of his hands.Their eyes met."Good morning," Ria said to him while trying to sound cheerful."I do not see what is so good about the morning Ria," was Adrian's reply as he raised an eyebrow at her.Ria shrugged. "Nothing, I guess."There was silence for a while as she looked down at her fingers on her thighs. She did not have anything more to say to him. He had refused her greeting too.What more was there to say?But, she felt his gaze on her, drilling into the depths of her skin. She looked up and their eyes collided tensely.She wondered why he was looking

"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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Olivia and Betty arrived at the Carter's residence.“Wow, what a nice place you have here,” Betty complimented as they came out of the car, taking a quick glance around.“Don't flatter me Betty, we both know this can't be compared to Adrian's residence, not to talk of Blake's mansion.” Olivia replied.“I'm serious, it's really nice. I like the modest and simple look,” Betty said, her voice sincere.Olivia huffed, linking her arms in Betty's. "I've heard you, let's go in. I'm sure my mom will be happy to see you,”“Really? You told her about me?” Betty's eyes widened in delight.“Of course,” Olivia answered laughing.She pushed the door open and stepped inside, with Betty following closely behind.They walked in to find Mrs. Carter sitting on the couch, sipping coffee and flipping through a fashion magazine, her legs were crossed gracefully.“Wow, your mum is beautiful,” Betty whispered to Olivia.Olivia smiled, feeling proud. “Indeed she is, people say I look a lot like her,”Without

"Father," Adrian called, drawing Charles' attention from Olivia, back to Ria.“The car is ready,” Adrian quickly leaned down and picked up Ria. To his greatest surprise, he realized despite being pregnant, she was so lean and felt so light in his arms. He carefully and hurriedly carried her to the car with Charles trailing behind.The ride to the hospital was silent but Adrian could feel Charles' burning gaze hovering on his skin.Adrian had already informed the hospital they were coming as this was the Blake's private hospital so there were nurses and a stretcher waiting outside as soon as they arrived.Ria was immediately transferred onto the stretcher and was taken into the emergency ward. He and Charles followed closely as she was rushed into the emergency ward, but they were stopped few meters away from the door by the nurses.Charles and Adrian stood outside. Adrian paced the corridor restlessly as he was waiting for the doctor's report, while Charles threw death stares his way

Chapter 62There was a soft, gentle knock on Adrian's study door.“Come in,” Adrian said without looking up. His voice was low and his eyes were fixed on the folder in front of him.Olivia slowly opened the door and walked in, her steps were soft and graceful like always. The scent of her peppermint perfume drifted through the air making Adrian who recognized that scent look up as she approached.He was surprised to see her, his expression softened a little."I'm sorry about my father's behavior earlier," he said, his voice, soothingly calm.Olivia gave him a soft, small smile. "You don’t have to apologize, I’m not upset.”She paused for a moment before continuing, “Uhm…I hope I’m not disturbing you?” she sweetly asked, smiling.“No. It’s fine,” Adrian replied, closing the folder. “Is something wrong?”Olivia shook her head gently, walking closer to his desk. “No, no, not at all. I just wanted to let you know I’ll be going to get my things from home now.”Adrian gave her a slight nod,

Adrian, where's my room? You know I need the best room with the best view. Betty spoke up happily as she finished eating her breakfast, her voice laced with excitement."Ria will take you to your room," Adrian replied, still focused on his meal without looking up.Betty's happy mood died down immediately. Her face twisted in displeasure."I don't need her help finding my way in my brother's house. She should focus on clearing the dishes.""She's your brother's wife and not a slave Betty," Charles' voice rang out, firm and disapproving.Betty's eyes flared in defiance. "I already said I won't accept her but since she desperately wants to be here, then she needs to make herself useful."Without waiting for another word, she turned to Adrian with narrowed eyes. "What about Olivia?"Adrian raised his head and looked at Olivia, then back at Betty. "What about her?""She will be staying in your room right?"Ria choked on the food she was eating. Coughing uncontrollably till tears welled in

The ride to Adrian's house was loud as well as annoying to Charles as every word that came out of Olivia's mouth made Charles angrier than the last.They soon arrived at Adrian's house and Charles asked Adrian to wait behind in the car, he had something to discuss with him. He told Olivia and Betty to go ahead and they would join them soon.Betty who was still filled with joy, linked her arms with Olivia's and practically dragged her out of the car. Olivia barely had the chance to glance at Adrian before the door was shut. She felt uneasy and wondered what Charles wanted to tell Adrian. She hoped he wasn't about to change Adrian's mind before she even got the chance to carry out her plans.Betty tugged her forward, drawing her out of her thoughts. Olivia plastered a smile on her face. Whatever card Charles had to play, at least she still had Betty on her side. Now she needs to make sure Betty keeps seeing her as her lifesaver and keeps feeling she's indebted to her.Olivia momentarily

Ria, who had only meant to rest for a short while, was jolted awake by the sudden buzz from her phone. She hadn’t planned to sleep for long, but somehow, the tiredness had taken over her body.Still half-asleep, she yawned and stretched, then slowly reached out to grab her phone from the bedside. Taking a peek at her phone she was shocked to discover that her sweet little nap had turned into a long one as it was already past seven in the morning."Oh dear Lord" she sighed as she clicked open the notification that had appeared on her screen.Her eyes widened a little when she saw the message on the screen. It was from Adrian.“I’m on my way home with some familiar guests. Prepare breakfast and a nice bowl of healthy soup… Do not disappoint me,”Ria blinked, staring long at the message. A bowl of healthy soup? Is Adrian sick? Or is he coming home with a sick person?A sudden wave of panic rushed through her as she realized Adrian hadn’t returned home last night, and she hadn’t even not

“What did you just say?” Charles asked in shock, staring at Gerald like he hadn’t heard him right.Gerald held the phone carefully in his hand. “The person on the call… she’s the one who helped your daughter when she collapsed,” he repeated.Charles blinked, trying to wrap his head around what he had just heard.. His eyes shifted from Gerald to the glass door of the hospital room where Betty was lying on the bed, smiling and chatting with Olivia.He raised a brow. “Are you sure about what you're saying?” he asked, still not wanting to get his hopes high.“Yes, sir. She was there with her until the ambulance arrived. She told me she wanted to follow up, but she had some things to take care of. She just called now,” Gerald explained.Charles didn’t say another word. He stretched out his hand for the phone. “Give me the phone.”Gerald quickly took the call off hold and brought it to his ear. “Hello, ma’am. I’m handing you over to her father now,” he said and passed the phone to Charles.

Betty's eyes widened as she stared at both Adrian and Olivia curled up in each other's arms."If she's… your Cinderella—then, who's… your wife?” Betty dragged the question as she was still confused.“Ahem, ahem,” Charles cleared his throat awkwardly, trying to redirect her attention “Betty, you need to rest.”“No Dad, I'm perfectly fine.” She said, shaking her head. “I need to understand what's going on.”She turned to Adrian, her eyes searching his face. “Brother why aren't you saying anything? Why are you not married to your Cinderella?”“Betty—”“No,” Betty said, cutting him off sharply. “If you're going to tell me to rest just like Father, then just don't.”Adrian sighed deeply.“Betty, please listen to your father and brother, they mean well.” Olivia said gently. “And they are right, you just recovered, there's still time for you to know everything that transpired.”Betty wanted to insist that she was fine but she bit her lips instead, holding back the words. She could be stubbor

Ria looked at the table again. Everything was ready. The food was set neatly. She had cooked Adrian’s favorite dishes. The smell still filled the room, but the warmth was slowly fading. She had even used the special plates Adrian bought, saying they are his sister's favorite. Ria wanted tonight to turn out well.She had cooked different dishes—rice, soup, meat, vegetables. Everything looked perfect. She rubbed her sore fingers, still bandaged, but she didn’t mind.She glanced at the clock. It was almost 8 p.m.Her heart began to beat faster. She walked to the window and looked outside, hoping to see Adrian’s car, but the street was quiet. There was no sign of anyone coming.Her mind drifted back to the moment Adrian left. That sudden call he picked before storming out of the house. He didn’t say where he was going. He didn’t even say when he’d be back. She had thought maybe he went to get something, maybe it was urgent. But now, she doesn't know anymore.She looked at the clock again.
