"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

Ria froze, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned slowly to face him, her finger still bleeding. The pain was almost unbearable. Adrian’s gaze was cold and hard, as if he hadn’t just heard her cry out moments before.“I said, where do you think you're going?” Adrian repeated, his voice void of any sympathy.“I... I just need to clean this up,” Ria stammered, trying to keep her composure. Her eyes moved to her finger, which was still dripping blood, but she could feel his icy stare pinning her down.Adrian didn’t move, his posture was relaxed and his eyes sharp. “And who asked you to leave the dishes?”Ria lifted her head in surprise, meeting his gaze.“Adrian, I'm injured, you don't expect me to—”“Shut up! What do you know about my expectations?” Ria stiffened at his voice.“Don't let me repeat myself, Ria, get back into the kitchen and continue the dishes.”Ria stood, momentarily speechless, mouth agape as tears rolled down her chin.Adrian's gaze remained on her—daring her t

Adrian froze as his eyes remained glued to the message on his screen. Across the kitchen, Ria, who had been trying to mind her business and focus on the dishes, couldn't help but worry.“Adrian, is everything okay?”Adrian's gaze snapped toward her. The moment their eyes met, Ria felt her heart sink. She could see the anger burning in his eyes.Ria swallowed hard, her hands trembling. She could have just shut her mouth and mind her business. Why was she worrying over someone who doesn't give a dime about her?Whatever anger he felt after receiving that message was about to be transferred to her.Adrian stared at her, his jaw clenched, as if looking for the right words to say. His gaze moved from her face to her fingers then back to her face.His hands tightened into fists as he took a step closer to Ria.Ria unconsciously backed away from the sink. She didn't know what had made him angry but she could tell it had something to do with her.“Ad–Adrian,” Ria stammered, her voice trembli

Adrian sat at the head of the long table in the meeting room, his eyes were fixed on the screen in front of him, but his mind was far away. The boardroom was very quiet except for the distant voice of the man standing with a pointer, sweating profusely, as he explains slides that Adrian wasn't even seeing. Everything was like a background noise to Adrian, he stared but he wasn't listening.His thoughts were back in the kitchen that morning. The incident that occurred and the way Ria had looked at him with wide eyes filled with shock and confusion.Was it all fake? Or had he gone too far?Did she really not know his father was returning? His sister?Was she genuinely surprised, or was it just another act to gain pity?Did she hurt herself on purpose, just to make him look bad when his father arrived?He clenched his jaw, staring blankly at the spreadsheet on the screen. Ria had looked hurt. And for a split second, when she had winced in pain, he’d felt something sharp twist inside him

Charles Blake and his daughter, Betty, arrived in town around 3 PM. The sun was still high, and there were a few hours left before dinner. Their flight had been smooth. And though Charles, now seated in his car, looked calm on the outside, he was filled with excitement. It had been one week since he last saw his daughter in-law, and today, he would be seeing her again. He was supposed to stay for two weeks but Betty was too excited to come see her brother's wife, hence their earlier arrival.Betty, sitting beside him, was even more excited. Her brother had always spoken fondly of his childhood sweetheart when they were abroad. “My Cinderella this, My Cinderella that,” she remembered him saying, often with a soft smile. Betty was only a child then, but even at that age, she could tell this Cinderella was someone special to her brother.Adrian was lucky. But Charles also knew his son was stubborn. He hoped he hadn’t already ruined things with Ria while he was away.“I want to stop by t

Ria got home and stopped at the front door in surprise.There were shopping bags everywhere—big, colorful, and full of luxury items. Some had ribbons, others had tags showing how expensive they are. The prices alone made her heart race.She looked around, but the street was quiet. No one was in sight.“Who brought all these?” she whispered to herself.She picked up one of the bags and peeked inside. A designer dress. Another bag had shoes. Then a box with perfume. There were more bags than she could count.Her first thought was Mr. Blake. He was the only one she could imagine doing something like this. Maybe it was his way of announcing his arrival to her.“But this much?” she murmured, her eyes wide. “Did he buy the whole mall?”She was still standing there, trying to understand it all, when she heard the familiar sound of Adrian’s car pulling into the driveway.Her chest tightened immediately.She turned to see him getting out of the car, walking toward her with long, firm steps.

"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 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
Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 47: Torture
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

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
