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 b

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 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.

Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 53
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

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

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

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

"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 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
