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

He has called her to inform her of Ria's pregnancy and his father's decision. She has been livid to the bones.

    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

    A sharp pain stabbed Ria in the heart.Tears began to stream down Ria's face as her heart constricted in pain.The doctor looked up, instantly observing Ria's distress. "Are you feeling any kind of pain, Mrs. Blake-to-be?" He demanded."No," Ria whispered, her voice cracking as she looked away trying to hide the tears.But it's too late."Then why are you crying?" The doctor asked with concern.Adrian interrupted. "She is just emotional, you know, with pregnancy hormones and all that shit," he added.The doctor looked between them with a suspicious gaze. Her tears continued to spill over uncontrollably, silently streaming down the side of her cheeks and unto the bed. She could not breathe. She could not even move.Adrian's words replayed in her head with each syllable cutting through her like a butcher's sharp knife.Doctor Smith eyed both of them suspiciously. "Can you take a step back, Mr Blake junior?" Doctor Smith demanded. He had reason to believe that the man was upsetting his

    Charles Blake climbed and settled into the soft leather seat of the limousine with a satisfied smile on his face. The automobile purred to life as the driver ignited it. Adrian slid in next to him with a considerably less enthusiasm. The limousine began to move while Charles busied himself with his phone. He heard Adrian shift uncomfortably and hiss throughout the journey, the sound echoing irritatedly in his ears. Charles lifted his head to observe him from the corner of his eye without empathy. Adrian simply turned away and stared out of the window with a sullen expression on his face. It was one that caused Charles to shake his head in total disappointment. "Are you pissed that we are going to see the woman you impregnated?" He asked. "Father," Adrian snapped angrily. "What?" Charles retorted. "I saw the way you were looking at her on our last visit to the hospital. You keep forgetting that it was you who made her like that!" "Father she-" "Adrian," Charles said firmly

    Adrian had really not expected his father to actually leave Ria in the car with him. He had hoped that he would change his mind or that Ria would refuse to come. But there she was, sliding into the seat across from him with her face an obvious picture of surprise. Ria had not had any idea that Adrian would be there too. She had thought it would be just her and Charles like last time. "Adrian," she said softly as she settled herself properly in the seat. "I did not know that you would be joining us today." But before Adrian could respond, Charles leaned in through the door and spoke. "Adrian will be here to accompany you to the fitting, Ria. He is looking forward to seeing your perfect wedding gown, aren't you, Adrian?" He gave his son a meaningful look. Adrian forced a smile that did not even reach his eyes. "Of course, I am, Father," he blurted out through gritted teeth. "That is just excellent," Charles said brightly with a mischievous smirk. "I will call you both later t

    "Father," Adrian called, drawing Charles' attention from Olivia, back to Ria.“The car is ready,” Adrian quickly leaned down and picked up Ria.

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.

    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.

    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
