Charles sighed heavily before running a hand through his salt and pepper hair. His eyes turned away from the stairs to Ria, his expression softening slightly."I apologize for my son's behavior," he said in a voice that was gentle but still commanding. "He has always been a stubborn man. But I assure you that he will soon come around."Ria doubted any of that would happen. Adrian hated her. They were like oil and water that could never mix. But she swallowed hard, finding her voice at last. "Mr. Blake, I appreciate your concern for your grandchild and I," she began. "But I do not want you to force Adrian into a marriage that he does not want."Charles chuckled and waved his hand in the air dismissively. "That is nonsense," he ground out in a stern voice. "Adrian needs to take responsibility for his actions.""But-" _not under duress she wanted to say._"Besides," he added as his eyes shifted to Ria's still-flat stomach with a broad smile. "This will be my first grandchild and I inte

The drive home was smooth and breezy. She sat at the back of the fancy car, staring out of the tinted windows. The sound of the world outside was blurred out, gracing her sight with its beauty. Her mind raced with so many thoughts including how she was going to break the news to her step sister. Olivia had not taken the news of her one night stand with Adrian lightly. She knew that Olivia would have her head for this marriage, and so will the rest of her family. At this point in time, her father could very well disown her. She sighed and moved away from the tinted windows, leaning back in the soft chairs of the luxurious Audi. Her phone dinged slightly with a message notification. She slid it out of her hand bag and stared at the screen. It was a direct message from Olivia asking her where she was. She tried to reply but her hands trembled so much that she finally gave up. She could not bring herself to do it, anything. She would have to keep this marriage proposal from Charles Bl

The sunlight came in through the window, resting on Ria who was sitting on her bed with a book in her hands. She was cooped up in her bedroom, bored as fuck.She tried so hard to focus and read, but the words were blurry before her eyes and her mind was too distracted with other things to focus on the story. The weight of everything that was happening recently was enough to press down on her, making it impossible for her to enjoy the story, or anything else.Her phone suddenly began to ring, breaking the silence. She raised her head from the pages, blinking as she reached for it. Her fingers trembled slightly when she stared at the screen and saw that it was an unknown number.“Hello?” she answered in a quiet and uncertain voice.“Ria!" A voice came from the other end of the line. She instantly knew who it was from the voice.Adrian's father."This is Charles Blake, Adrian's father,” he said in a deep and authoritative voice. "I know," she said, sitting up straight and gripping the

Ria sat comfortably in the Porsche. She admired the inside of the luxurious car that was screaming of wealth.The cool air from the vents brushed against her skin. She enjoyed the wonderful view of the city from the car. For a long time, she had not even been able to relax her body and forget about her problems. And for the first time in a long time, she was able to do that. The tension that had built up in her long ago had quickly eased up as she admired her surroundings with an overflow of joy. It feels good to be free.She finally leaned back in the seat and put the mobile phone that she had been holding all along into her animal skin hand bag. She sighed as she stared at the driver who was focused on the road.After a few minutes of driving, the vehicle slowed down. The driver pulled up in front of a grand building in a serene and high end environment. Ria’s eyes widened as she immediately recognized exactly where they were.They were at the most famous and also the biggest fa

The afternoon sun was hot.That was the first thing that Olivia noticed the moment she stepped out of the taxi. She stared up at the Coffee shop afore her.Adrian was in there, waiting for her. He has called her to inform her of Ria's pregnancy and his father's decision. She has been livid to the bones. He had asked both of them to meet and talk.And she was here to make sure that Ria never got what she wanted by doing all of this.She heard the taxi driver away as she began to make her way up to the door. She walked into the coffee shop, her eyes scanning the space for Adrian. She spotted him instantly.He was sitting down at the far corner of the shop with a face cap and a nose mask. She recognized him. She saw that his eyes were fixed on her as she approached.When she reached, he stood up and opened his arms, inviting her. She fell into them, feeling a sense of comfort and security."I have missed you so much," Adrian whispered, his breath warm against her ear."I missed you too,

Ria said nothing to Olivia, just standing there. She did not want to give her step-sister the chance to rubbish her like she always did. She was pregnant now.She had to pick her battles sensibly because of her child."Every day, I am just simply disappointed in you and every single thing you do!" Olivia barked at her.There was no response.Anger built inside of Olivia as Ria said nothing, only adjusting her handbag in her hand like Olivia was addressing the air."Are you ignoring me?!" She demanded viciously."I am not-" Olivia's hands connected with Ria's face, cutting her off instantly. She had even channeled all of her anger, pain, and hurt into that hit.Ria's head fell to the side, her eyes widening in shock. She clutched her cheek, the handbag in her hand falling to the floor. "You think I do not know that you went to a wedding dress fitting with Chairman Blake?!" She screamed at Ria."He asked me to come!" Ria defended herself.Olivia let out a cold laugh."So despite every

Olivia stood frozen at the top of the stairs, staring down at Ria’s motionless body. She watched as the red blood formed a thick pool beneath her, staining the floor like ink spilled from an expensive fountain pen.Olivia raised her hands to her mouth, her eyes remained wide open with shock. Her breath hitched in her throat. "Ria?" She whispered, praying deep down that she would answer. She had not meant for this to happen. She had only wanted her to lose the baby, not die. “No… No…” she whispered. Then her voice grew louder. “No!”She rushed down the stairs with her heart hammering against her rib cage. She knelt beside Ria and shook her motionless body by her shoulders, desperately.“Ria! Wake up!” Olivia's voice cracked with panic rising quickly inside of her. “You can not die. Wake up!”There was no movement.Nothing.She could see that the side of Ria's head was bleeding profusely. There was a part where the impact of the fall has injured her Tears welled up in her eyes as s

Charles Blake stepped into the room with Adrian following close behind. The tension in the atmosphere instantly thickened as everyone stared at each other in silence."I asked, what did both of you do to Ria?" Charles demanded again.Ria opened her mouth to speak but Margaret blurted out before she could utter a word. "Ria was climbing the stairs and fell."Charles glanced at Ria with narrowed eyes. He looked so angry that Ria felt like he would scold her endlessly. "And how the hell did you slip on the stairs while you are with my grandchild growing in your womb?""I- I- " Ria attempted to speak again, remorse filling her at Charles' angry voice. But Olivia stepped in."She was attention starved and did it to seek attention like always," Olivia cut in swiftly.Surprise instantly flashed across Ria's face at her step sister's words.The room went silent. "What are you-" Charles began to say as Margaret stepped forward. "Ria has always been like that ever since childhood," she infor

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 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
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
Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 25: Why Did You Come Back?
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
