Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 26: The Truth
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

"Ria!" Olivia's impatient voice echoed through the house. "If you don’t get down here in the next five minutes, we’re leaving without you!" Ria sighed softly, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face as she adjusted the delicate lavender dress she had chosen. It was modest, with soft lace sleeves that rested just below her shoulders and a flowing skirt that brushed her knees. She paired it with simple silver flats and a necklace that had once belonged to her late mother. "Coming!" she called back, descending the staircase with a steady grace. At the bottom of the stairs, Olivia stood, tapping her stiletto-clad foot impatiently. Her fiery red dress clung tightly to her figure, with a dangerously low neckline and a slit that ran high up her thigh. She looked every bit the seductress, a sharp contrast to Ria's understated elegance. Olivia turned, her gaze narrowing as she saw Ria. "What are you wearing?" she asked, her tone laced with disdain. Ria glanced down at her dress and

"That’s Adrian Blake," Olivia said, her voice brimming with excitement, snapping me out of my daze. "What?" I asked, barely registering her words as my gaze stayed glued to him. "I said that’s Adrian Blake, the host of this party," Olivia repeated, still staring at him like a hunter eyeing her prey. "No... that’s Knight," I muttered, my voice trembling as the name escaped my lips. My heart raced, memories flooding back like a tidal wave. "What did you say?" Olivia asked, confusion flickering across her perfectly made-up face. "That’s Knight—my childhood friend I told you about," I repeated, my voice a mix of awe and disbelief. My chest tightened, a strange combination of anxiety and excitement coursing through me. After all these years, I never thought I’d see him again. Without thinking, I took a step forward, intent on crossing the crowded room to reach him, but Olivia’s firm grip on my wrist stopped me in my tracks. "What are you doing?" she asked, her sharp eyes narrowing

Ria froze mid-step, clutching the edge of the wooden staircase. Her chest tightened as the words seeped through the cracks in the dimly lit hallway. She hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but the conversation between Olivia and her stepmother, Mrs. Carter, was impossible to ignore. "She’s delusional, Mother," Olivia continued, her tone dripping with mockery. "Ria thinks Adrian is hers. Poor thing doesn’t even know I’ve already taken her place." Mrs. Carter chuckled lightly, a sound that made Ria’s stomach churn. "Good. Keep playing innocent, my dear. Men like Adrian are easily fooled by a sweet face and gentle words. That stupid girl is no match for you." Tears pricked Ria’s eyes as her heart cracked a little more with each cruel word. She clenched her fists, willing herself to stay silent. The betrayal cut deep, especially coming from the two people she had trusted and seen as family. "But what if Ria tells Adrian the truth?" Olivia asked, feigning concern. "She won’t," Mrs. Carter repl

Ria had returned home broken after the humiliating encounter with Adrian. She headed straight for her room and shut the door behind her. Soon enough she heard a soft knock on the door and Olivia walked in, her expression soft and compassionate as she sat beside her.“Ria,” Olivia began, her voice calm but tinged with emotion. “Do you remember that time when you had that accident? When the doctors said you wouldn’t survive without an immediate blood transfusion?”Ria stiffened, her hands clutching the blanket. How could she forget? That memory had haunted her for years.But why is Olivia bringing that up now? she knows she doesn't like remembering that incident. She had lost her mother from that accident and Olivia had almost lost her life too trying to save her.“I didn’t even think twice when they said my blood matched,” Olivia continued, her voice trembling slightly. “I was terrified, Ria. I thought I’d lose you. But I did what any sister would do—I gave you my blood because I could

Ria stood outside the door of her father's mansion, her heart thundering in her chest. Her lips were dry, her fingers trembling as she gripped the doorknob. The night before felt like a hazy nightmare—one she desperately wished to wake from. Her heart was pounding as dread settled in her chest. She knew what awaited her inside. She knew Olivia wouldn’t let it go easily.Drawing a shaky breath, Ria pushed the door open.She barely had time to close the door behind her when a hot, stinging slap landed on her cheek. The force sent her staggering back, her hand instinctively flying up to her burning face..“How dare you!” Her father's voice thundered, his face flushed with rage. “Is this what you’ve reduced yourself to? Betraying your own sister?”“Dad, I—”“Don’t you dare call me that!” he snapped, pointing an accusing finger at her. “I leave this house for one business trip, and this is what I come back to? Shame! Absolute shame!”Across the room, Olivia sat in her mother’s arms, her fac

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
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
Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 21: Abandoned
Olivia, who was standing behind Ria’s father, played her role well. Her eyes were filled with fake tears and her lips were trembling with her act while she clutched her mother’s arm."I loved Adrian," Olivia whispered to their father in mock distress. "I had never thought that Ria would betray me like this. She was my sister, my best friend."Adrian's eyes met with Olivia across the wedding hall. She managed to give him a smile that looked weak.Adrian felt guilty for doing this to her. He had promised Olivia -his Cinderella that he would definitely marry her.He was at the altar with her sister, her pregnant step-sister. He had been unable to keep that promise to her.Several guests began to murmur quietly in sympathy or gossip, but Charles Blake narrowed his eyes at Olivia. He could see through her lies. He had always known what kind of woman the lady was."You are such a pathetic little liar!" Mr Carter snared. "You even went as far as to baby-trap your sister's man!” “Can you
Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 20: Forced Vows
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
