Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 42: Too Good To Be True
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

Gasp!Ria's eyes fluttered open, and her eyes scanned the room. "A dream?"She got up and hurried down to the living room to meet Adrian having his breakfast as usual. Adrian was very mindful of his health and physique, so he had a strict daily routine to help him maintain his good looks and chiseled features.Ria stared at Adrian intently, waiting for his expression, which would let her know if it was all a dream or if it was reality.Feeling her unnerving gaze, Adrian sluggishly turned to her, his expression the usual— cold and stern."What do you want?" He muttered. "If you plan on killing me with your love speech then you might as well go back to bed. I'm really not in the mood for an argument today."Ria sighed. It was all a dream. She should have known it was a dream from the first instance. Why would Adrian fall in love with her all of a sudden? At this point, she was beginning to doubt if he would still love her when he found out she was his real Cinderella."I'm sorry... Good

“Ria, darling, I’ve missed you!” Olivia said, a fake smile spreading across her face, her voice sickeningly sweet. "I mean I couldn't stop thinking about when we last bonded as sisters.""I wonder why?" Ria said, glaring at Olivia.Olivia knew too well she was the reason she and Ria didn't get along so well, and she wasn't bothered about it. Everything was just a charade to make Adrian love her more."Don't tell me you still remember that small accident the day we went for a picnic. I already apologized, haven't I?" Olivia muttered, her innocent look nearly melting Ria's heart — almost."No... I've seen this trick before. I wouldn't let you fool me twice," Ria said sternly, her voice low.Olivia chuckled, then smiled mischievously. "Well, that's a bit hurtful, isn't it? You've already stereotyped me. We all know I'm not the bad person here, right?"Ria’s eyes narrowed. “What do you want, Olivia?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady, though her hands trembled slightly. "You can'

Adrian and Olivia continued their passionate time together in Adrian's room, leaving Ria to battle with her thoughts. The pain weighed heavily on her chest, and she held back tears.Olivia never ceased to use that one time she saved her life against her. That could have been the reason she did it, because she knew that one day it would come in handy for her deceptive tricks."But... Why?" Ria muttered. "I've been a good sister to her all my life. She was my best friend, and I was willing to give up whatever I had for her.”No.I practically gave up everything I had for her. Ever since she came along with her mother, I became completely irrelevant and invisible to my family. My father never wanted to see me, Everyone's major concern was Olivia." "Everyone cared about Olivia. She was the name in their lips, and even when I'll get hurt, they wouldn't care until it was serious, but even then, Olivia had to be the one to tell them to treat me. We were the perfect dynamic duo... But now,

Adrian stepped closer, his face filled with anger. “Ria, I—”Before he could finish, Ria’s phone rang, cutting through the tension. She glanced at the screen and saw a familiar name, but before she could answer, Adrian snatched her phone and smashed it against the hard tiles."You don't have the privilege to answer calls when I'm talking to you." He sneered. "Now listen to me closely Ria. I'm the head of this house, and only my decision stands, if I wanted you to sleep in the rain, you do it without asking any questions."Ria raised an eyebrow, clearly shocked by Adrian's new outburst. What had Olivia told him? What did she do that made Adrian this furious towards her? Yes he hated her, but this was becoming more cruel than his usual state, more unimaginably wicked."Oh and... One more thing." Adrian continued. "Don't ever think of yourself as my wife else that would be the last thing you'll think about. You are nothing before me... Or maybe you are something— a disposable piece of wa

A few days had passed since Ria became a maid in her matrimonial home, and everyone would have expected her to get used to the chores like Adrian said, but no, she was becoming more tired of them each day, and Adrian wasn't doing anything to help. He didn't care about her, and even when she pleaded with him to give her a little massage on her feet to help ease her pain, he would laugh."There's no way I'm going to touch that disgusting body of yours." He would say.Ria could feel her world crumble before her, but thankfully, things weren't going that bad. She hadn't seen Olivia in days and that alone was enough reason to give thanks. Olivia would have been a real thorn in her flesh when she figured out that she was now a maid.Well... Speak of the devil.As Ria began her forced morning routine, she heard a knock on the door, but this time, it wasn't just the regular Olivia; she was accompanied by her mother, Ria's stepmother.The hurtful fact that she was the one who opened the door f

Ria worked at her fastest, tripping several times while going at it. She was careful enough not to fall or sustain any injuries, but she was in a hell of a pain. Coupled with the fatigue that drenched her."Oh, Ria... I do hope you can forgive me.” Every muscle in Ria's body tensed as Olivia's voice suddenly turned soft. “It was a mistake, I really didn't mean to spill my meal all over the place. It's just that I enjoy walking while eating, so I ended up spilling food all over the place.” Olivia pouted moving closer to Ria. Ria swallowed hard. Her grip on the cleaning brush tightened.“I didn't consider it would be difficult cleaning this big place but looking at your fatigued self, I really feel bad for my actions," Olivia muttered, faking a sincere face.Ria rolled her eyes seething in anger. She knew it was all fake, but she couldn't do anything; any word she said would only be used against her.Olivia had her way of making her look like a bad person. "It's fine, Olivia; just

"So... You told Olivia I treated you like a slave?"Ria was speechless. She didn't understand what was going on. Olivia had over-exaggerated the truth, and Adrian had read a different meaning into it."N—No..." Ria stammered. "That's not it.""Yes babe, please don't misunderstand Ria... I was only trying to help out." Olivia said.Ria nodded her head. "Yes, she–"Shut up..." Adrian shouted, cutting out her remaining words. "I don't care if you're dying. You shouldn't have asked Olivia to help you. Have you forgotten your position in this house? What gave you the right?” Ria shivered at the chill in his voice.“Once my father comes back in two weeks I'll have a discussion concerning getting rid of you."Ria swallowed hard as her hands clenched into tight fists."Come on Adrian... It hasn't gotten to that. I was only helping; it's my fault, not Ria's; she's pregnant, and all these chores are too much for a pregnant woman." Olivia said.Adrian turned to glance at Olivia."Helping? I'm

"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.

Adrian hurriedly arrived at the hospital and walked straight into Betty's ward. When he got inside, he noticed his father, Charles, was already there and chatting with Betty. Betty didn't look pale or in danger as he had thought; rather, she seemed very happy about something.Adrian heaved a deep sigh of relief, and at that moment, Betty raised her head, and on seeing her brother, her face lit up in delight.“Brother!” she called out joyfully, stretching her arms wide.A doting smile appeared on Adrian's face as he walked closer to her.“Brother,” Betty said again, embracing him in a tight hug that showed how much she missed him.Charles sighed, shaking his head lightly. “I told her not to go, but knowing how stubborn your sister is, she didn't listen. Now here she is.”Betty pouted, pulling away from Adrian but keeping his hand in hers. “I only wanted to get a few things for my sister-in-law, Is it a crime?”“See?” Charles said to Adrian, gesturing with his hands.Adrian's jaw clench
