"That's all that happened," Adrian said, finishing his explanation.Ria sighed. "I knew." She muttered Adrian raised an eyebrow, his expression a mixture of relief and confusion. "You did?""Well... I didn't know in detail, but I knew it was all Olivia's doing." Ria replied. "You might not believe me, but she's really manipulative, and always wants to have things go her way. I'm sure you might have noticed it. She would throw tantrums and often refer to things she helped you with in the past— blackmail."Adrian raised an eyebrow. He only wanted to settle things out with Ria and not listen to gibberish talk about the woman he loved."Alright, that's enough talk. Remember what I told you. Don't think we are friends just because I apologized to you. I still hate you, I just wanted you to know I'm not a monster." Adrian said, abruptly ending their discussion.But deep down, Ria's words lingered within him. On one or two occasions, he had seen Olivia act just exactly like Ria said, but it

"What the hell is she doing here father?" Adrian yelled angrily. "I thought this was a family discussion?"Charles sighed. "That's correct. It is a family discussion, and Ria is here because she is family. Your wife—to be precise. So you shouldn't stand there questioning her validity when it's all your fault she is here in the first place." Charles said, a satisfied smirk finding its way on his face.Adrian seethed in anger. "What exactly is my crime father? Tell me what I have done to you that makes you hate me so much... Is it the numbers in the company? Is it the investors? Just tell me so I can make amends because torturing me with this baby trapper is too much for me to handle!" Adrian yelled, his voice laced with a mixture of anger and sadness.Charles expression became stern. "Is this how you view Ria? As a burden? A punishment for your imagined faults? Is that what you think of her?" Charles bombarded Adrian with questions, not giving him a room to answer anyone."If you think

Adrian stormed out of the room angrily, only managing to whisper the words "I hate you," to Ria. However, Ria tried her best not to show any expression towards his words to avoid further trouble for him.Charles sighed, signaling for Ria to have a seat. "So sorry dear, Adrian could be stubborn sometimes. I know what you are wondering, and no... That's not why I brought you here." Charles said, his voice lightening the mood.Ria forced a warm smile. Her mind reeling to different reasons why Charles brought her here if it wasn't to caution Adrian in her presence."You see... the whole Adrian thing was a coincidence. He showed up ten minutes after I called you, and said he wanted us to have a family talk. Knowing you would be long, I instructed my driver to get to your place earlier than the agreed time, so that you'll meet with Adrian here." Charles explained.Ria raised an eyebrow. "So this was all supposed to be some sort of friendly discussion?" She asked innocently."Yes... I mean,

Adrian couldn't utter a word. He just kept staring at Ria as she finished speaking with only one thought going through his mind. How can one be this desperate?"Are you that desperate? Like, are you so hell-bent on getting me from Olivia that you would cook up these lies and expect me to believe them?" Adrian shot back at her.Ria tried to protest, but just like other times, it was futile. But now, she should have known that all attempts to win Adrian over by heartfelt words would go down the drain."You are really full of surprises Ria, and I wonder how your sister lived with you all her life. Not only are you selfish but a liar too." Adrian added.Ria sighed, her words hanging in her throat as she tried to defend herself. "I'll say this one more time, don't think I'll ever fall in love with you. If my father has promised you anything, then you might as well begin to kill those thoughts because I won't give up Olivia for anyone." Adrian said sternly.Just as Adrian was still speakin

Ria sat frozen on the couch, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if trying to hold together the last pieces of her shattered heart. She stared at the space where Adrian and Olivia had just walked through, their laughter still ringing in her ears. It was suffocating.How did I end up here? she thought, bitterness washing over her like a Tilda wave. How did my own sister become my worst enemy?She gripped the end of her fabric tightly, causing her fist to turn white.Tears.She wants to go to shed them. She swore to herself not to allow a single drop of tears to fall that day, but it seemed futile.I can't keep giving Olivia the satisfaction of watching me cry. She said in mind. No matter how much it hurts, I wouldn't cry.Ria felt iced to the spot where she was after Adrian and Olivia left the house. She didn't even know what to think, what to do, or even what to say.She only felt like ripping herself into two."This isn't life!" Ria yelled, pulling her hair in frustration. "T

"Am I alright?" Ria finally muttered, fighting back the tears that struggled to overflow. "Who the hell would be alright after what you just did?"Adrian shrugged. "It depends... What did I do?" Adrian asked. "It's not like I hit you or something; I mean, you are the one who's overthinking things. If you had just accepted your insignificant role in this marriage, then things would be a lot better for you, trust me."Ria raised an eyebrow. "Insignificant? I'm your wife, there's nothing insignificant about that.""You are not my wife!" Adrian shot back angrily. "Don't ever call yourself my wife again. You are just some clumsy bottom feeder that managed to fool my father into believing you are the one for me."Ria raised an eyebrow. "Fool your father? Clearly, your father is the only one with enough brains to tell you that you are being deceived by Olivia. I mean, even a ten-year-old would figure that out." Ria defended.Adrian shrugged. "Whatever makes your sinking boat float. I might b

A warm smile found its way across Ria's face as she stared at her freshly done nails, watching intently as the gloss caught the sunlight streaming into the sitting room of Charles' mansion. The atmosphere around her was light and comforting, and she felt a deep sense of peace, and her anxiety washed away— a rare feeling she clung to whenever she visited.For a moment it just felt like the joy she had always dreamt of feeling was finally hers, but it was just for a moment. When she remembered that she would still go back to the hatred of Adrian, it made her stomach sour. But for now, there was peace.Mr. Blake sat across the room, his friendly demeanor enveloping the room and creating a deeper sense of belonging for Ria.He chuckled heartily as he told Ria a story from his youth, his deep voice filling the room like a familiar old song."And then," he said, grinning mischievously, "I realized I had been trying to impress the wrong lady the whole night! The woman I thought was the may

Ria groggily woke to the continuous calling from Adrian. His voice wasn't harsh, and his hand against her skin was so soft and tender. He had never treated her this nicely before. He'd prefer to yell her out of sleep if there was something important she needed to know, or just wait until her alarm wakes her up.But that wasn't the case today. He woke her up gently, giving her a warm kiss on her forehead. Ria's eyes fluttered open, and her first gaze was Adrian's warm smile.Startled she shifted back in fright. "Woah... I hope I didn't startle you?" Adrian asked, his voice filled with concern.A dream?No... It looked too real to be a dream. However, it looked too real to be reality.What was happening?"Did you hit your head somewhere?" Ria asked, her voice still a bit raspy from sleep.Adrian chuckled. "No silly. I'm perfectly fine, why would you ask that?"Ria's gaze was enough to tell him that his actions were weird and she never expected him to be this nice to her."Oh, you mean

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.
