THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And A First Love
CHAPTER SEVENTY FOURLenora's Pov:“That belongs to me.” I scowled, looking at Tara, who had a deadly smirk on her face. “No. It belongs to me just like I own Richard.” She announced.“Keep going on with your delusions,” I said, rolling my eyes.“You don’t even know my relationship with Richard, right?”“You might be his wife, but I'm pretty sure he's just using you to make me jealous.”I scoffed at hearing that. “And who are you for him to be doing that?” “Because I’m his first love.” I watched her mutter with confidence.Why does she keep rambling about first love? Is she trying to play another trick on me?“I told you, you will never be with Richard as long as I’m alive.” She said and stomped away.“Are you having a fight with her?” Jasmine asked, walking closer to me. The distance between us was a bit wide, so it might be hard to hear the content of our discussion.“She isn’t someone I can fight with; I might end up breaking her limb.” I said, and Jasmine laughed.“So you let

CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE TARA'S POV: "She looks uglier than anyone." I sneered at Nick's girlfriend in a blue designer gown."It doesn't even fit her crumpled figure." I added, rolling my eyes. I had sat on the couch, scrolling through pages on Instagram, giving my horrible comments.My eyes suddenly caught Sonia's post, and a surge of anger swept through me. I tossed my new phone against the wall and screamed. I watched the phone, which had been shattered into pieces. I had just bought it yesterday, but seeing Sonia have a newer and better car got me vexed.She got the newest Porsche, and it pissed me off completely.I hate her doing better than me!“How can she get something better than me?” I foamed in anger.I felt angry and miserable at the thought of her getting a better boyfriend to sponsor her expenses. She mustn’t get anything better than me; I don’t want that. I must always be the one leading.I took a package of cigarettes from my bag before storming out of the room in ange
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Trail
CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX Lenora's Pov I walked into the house, and I couldn’t stop glancing at Richard’s face. I was still shocked, stunned, and surprised to hear that from Richard. They really did have something together in the past?“Why don't you stop staring at me and say what's on your mind.” The man mumbled as we walked into our room. “I mean, I’m just surprised to hear that.” I said in a whisper.“Hear what? About you being my wife or about Tara being my first love?” He asked.“Tara was really your first love? You have a low taste in women." I laughed, and when he glared at me I composed myself. I didn’t want to press further, especially seeing that he looked like he remembered something traumatizing; his expression had changed a bit.A knock came on our door, and I instantly went to check. It was Vero.“Is Richard in here?” She asked, and I nodded. “Jasmine asked me to call for you; it is an all ladies night party.” She whispered the last part.“I’ll be outside soon.” I mouth
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Was Caught
CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVENLenora's Pov:I scurried away from him, watching the man get up on the bed.Ignoring his stare, I hurried in the bathroom direction.“Where do you think you are going?” He looked at me with confusion.I ignored him and ran into the bathroom, which if I thought about it I did very often. I squeezed my eyes shut the moment I got in the bathroom, blaming myself for my stupidity. The little drink I took must have taken over.Finally, I came out and walked into the room, still ignoring his gaze.“Running away won’t do you any good, you know?” He said the moment I was out.I sneered at him. A knock suddenly came on our door, and I was a bit surprised. “Are you expecting anyone?” I asked, but he shook his head negatively.I wasn’t expecting anyone either. With my brows snapped together, I walked towards the door and pushed it open. It was a bit surprising to see Bria. *****I put on a simple blue shirt over a pair of pants, my long hair was put up in a ponytail, and

CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHTLenora's Pov:After dinner, I headed to the direction of our room. Hagine's words kept ringing in my head.Walking into the luxurious living room, I ran into the two. “I need to take this call.” Richard whispered to Tara, and I watched him walk out of the house.When he left I headed in Tara’s direction.“I need to talk to you.” I approached her with anger evident on my face.“What do you want to talk about? Gloat about being Richard’s wife?” She smirked, and I instantly got irritated.I grabbed her by her arms and pulled her to a corner.“Who the hell are you to drag me like that?” She yelled out her lungs.“Because I’m that man’s wife. And you should stop being shameless around him.”“What if I don’t want to stop?” She folded her arms across her chest, staring down at me.“Then I will break those limbs of yours and destroy your pretty face.” I threatened.“Then go ahead and do it, and I, Tara Collins, will tell everyone your real identity.” She said with confi
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Almost Ended In Water
CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE Lenora's Pov:After chatting with Grandmother Minetta, I retreated to our room, where I met Richard.“Where have you been?” He asked, his eyes scanning through me.“It's none of your business,” I said spitefully and walked into the bathroom without waiting for his response.I came back and met the man at the same spot, glaring dangerously at the door.He never took his gaze away the whole time?I ignored his gaze and walked over to sit on the sofa, scrolling through my phone. I contemplated the idea of informing Richard about Tara's finding out about my secret, but I soon discarded it. I didn’t want to trouble him with my matter anymore, I would find my way to sort it out. “Why have you been avoiding me?” His voice echoed through the room, jolting me out of my thoughts.I looked up at him.“I never did,” I mumbled, returning my gaze to my phone screen.I heard the bed creak as he got off the bed, and soon, his resounding footsteps filled the air as he walked ove
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Rammed Into Her
CHAPTER EIGHTYLenora's Pov:I gasped for air but the water ended up running into my lungs and slowly I began to lose consciousness.The ladies who soon realized something was wrong suddenly stopped laughing.“Why hasn’t she resurfaced?” I heard Jasmine's panicky voice faintly. “I think she can’t swim, Lenny is drowning!” They began to panic realizing I couldn’t swim “Someone should help.” I cried quietly for help, slowly losing consciousness, but before I could lose consciousness completely, I heard a loud thud in the water and a figure diving towards me under the water. A full force pulled me out. Richard, who had been watching from a distance, jumped into the water and saved me.“Lenora, are you sure you are okay,” Jasmine asked as she covered me with the bedspread.“Do you want me to call the doctor?” Alex added.“I’m fine.” I smiled faintly.“I’m sorry I couldn’t save you in time before your husband jumped in,” Alex added, I smiled hearing that.The fact that Richard jumped i
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game At The Bottom Of The Lake
CHAPTER EIGHTY ONELenora's Pov:I discovered my hatred for mushrooms as I kept nibbling on my meal, it tasted bland. Maybe I wasn’t nibbling on the meal because of my hatred but because of the memories that kept lingering around my head, I mean the memory of last night with Richard. “You keep blushing all over, what is that important thing you are thinking about?” Hagine who had sat on the other side of me on the long dining table whispered.“It's nothing, I’ve just remembered some stuff.” I mouthed and smiled.“Something like Richard? I can see your face blushing all over, you must be really in love with him.” Jasmine chirped in. She had sat right beside Hagine, guess it was easy to hear everything from there.I paused for a minute, “I’m not in love with him!” I wanted to yell that out but I couldn’t, part of my work was to make everyone believe we are in love, and I couldn’t ruin that at the last minute.My gaze suddenly went over to Richard, that’s not possible, there is no wa

Epilogue Richard's POVThinking that meeting Lenora when we were little was the most surprising thing ever, I was so wrong. This, that I am seeing right now in front of me, was worse. I was sitting in a chair not to make myself comfortable but because my legs couldn't carry my weight as I was experiencing the shock of my life. “Remo?” Tears welled up in my eyes as my heart shattered over and over again. This has to be a dream, this cannot be true. My best friend is the mastermind behind everything that has been going on.How can I explain to anyone who knows the both of us that Remo is the spy, the betrayal in my life? What did I ever do to deserve this from him? What's my offense? Since when has this been happening? Questions kept ringing in my heart as I stared at the man tied to the chair. His feet and hands were tied up but his eyes stared right back at me. Blood was dripping down his dangerous-looking face, He had been tortured by the men, until he confessed to his crimes.

CHAPTER 145Lenora's Pov:I snuggled deeper into Richard's arms. It had been more than two months, everything had been going smoothly. Remo had been able to fish out the spy in the house, it only turned out to be one of the kitchen maids which we couldn’t think of.My eyes scanned through the face over me, I was suddenly tempted by the reddish lips. No matter how I have it, I can’t just get enough of it.Richard's eyes quietly opened up meeting my gaze.“Tempted by my lips?” He smirked.“Of course, I’m not.” I scoffed turning sideways I heard him abruptly over my head.I got out of bed and stepped into the bathroom. I suddenly felt dizzy but ignored it. I had been feeling the same way for a couple of days and I instantly felt it was all because I had been overworking myself.“You okay?” Richard glanced at me. I had stopped halfway trying to regain my balance.“I’m fine,” I mumbled, walking back to him.Later, Vanya came with our breakfast and we ate on the balcony.After breakfast l

CHAPTER 144Lenora's Pov:My life so far has been really surprising, I kept finding myself at the least expected places. I never imagined I would find myself at a different house calling the mother of the house, my mom.I washed the cabbages with a big smile on my face.“You aren’t done with that yet? Are you thinking of Richard again?” I was teased by my Grandmother again, my real grandma.I instantly smiled hearing her voice.“Mom, you should tell her to stop involving Richard every time.” I pouted childishly, turning to the woman who was smiling the whole time.At this rate, I don’t think we are going to eat our breakfast at the appropriate time. I had decided to spend little time with my newfound family, Richard agreed to it and that was why I had come to spend the weekend with them, I must confirm that it was filled with love and happiness.After taking most of our time In the kitchen, we finally set up a dining table and sat around it to have our breakfast.Being an only child,

CHAPTER 143Richard's POV:After ending my conversation with Remo, I walked out of my room heading for Lenora’s room. I was stopped slightly by Yara again but this time she announced that Lenora was up.I pushed the door open revealing the young lady who was slipping out of her bed.“Babe, I’m just about to come see you. I heard you came here for me.” Lenora's face flushed seeing me.I forced a little smile at her before walking over to her side.“Lenny, what do you know about this?” I suddenly asked bringing out the sketch she had given RemoSeeing it, she looked a bit shocked and absentmindedly.“Where did you get that from?” She asked, looking perplexed.“How did you find that?” She got up completely from the bed walking closer to me.Of course, she must have thought Remo snitched on her and told me.“It’s not what you are thinking. Remo didn’t betray you, I found out by myself.” I added it instantly.Lenora sighed quietly.“I had been having a memory frequently these days and In t

Getting back to the room, I changed to a more free wear before getting out of my room and heading to Lenora’s room.I made an apologetic expression the moment I got to her door but I was stopped by Yara who was smiling all over.“You are here for Ma’am?” She inquired and I nodded slightly.“What about her?” I raised my brow slightlyI had been expecting to meet her, probably on the balcony outside or inside the living room but I was a bit surprise
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of Secrets
CHAPTER 141Lenora's PovRichard used to have nightmares?I instantly remembered he talked about them a long time ago when we visited my parent's house, but I didn’t think it was something serious.“You didn’t know about it?” Vanya raised her brows slightly.“He told me one time but I didn’t know it was something serious.” I slightly lowered my head a little.I thought I knew everything about the man I married but there was still a lot that I didn’t know about him.“I understand, He hardly talks about it except to his doctor, and also he stopped having them three years ago but I think they are back.” She added, getting me a bit worried.“Why are they back?” I raised my brows even more.I mean why would they be back now?“I don’t know, something might have triggered it.” She said but I was even more confused.What could have triggered them?“What was his nightmare always about?

CHAPTER 140LENORA'S POVAfter Remo left, I went to the bathroom and took a warm scented bath, in a bathrobe I walked back to my room which strangely felt empty to me, or maybe I was the one who felt empty.My mind suddenly went to Richard, remembering the way I asked to be alone the other time and remembering his expression, I felt a little bad.I took my cell phone and instantly walked out of his room and walked directly to his room. I ran into Vanya who had an expression on her face that I couldn’t read, her face was a little filled with guilt and resentment.“Are you okay?” I asked out of concern.Seeing me, she instantly forced a smile on her face.“I’m fine.” She mumbled.I nodded slightly even though I wasn’t convinced. She instantly left.Ignoring my thoughts, I took my feet and walked to Richard’s room.I placed a knock on his door and strangely he was the one who came to open up. He looked angry the moment he opened up like he was being disturbed by someone, but seeing it w
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game's Nightmares
CHAPTER 139Richard's POVI walked in the direction of my room after Lenora asked to be alone. I was slightly hurt by that but I tried not to show it, I was hurt but yet I was a little worried. Ever since she woke up from her concussion, Lenora had been acting a bit strange and weird. Out of curiosity, I asked her in the car but she said she was okay. I knew Lenora always tried to keep things bothering her to herself and sort it out by herself but I didn’t like that. What if she ended up getting hurt along the way?I walked into my room which was already arranged by Vanya, and my eyes scanned through my arranged clothes.I pulled off the shirt I was wearing and changed into my blue pajamas. I sat at the edge of my bed bringing out my cell phone and checking the internet for the latest update.I suddenly felt a little bored, I felt a terrible headache and decided to take a bath. The headache had begun the previous night but I didn’t think much of it.I made my way into the bathroom a
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Find A Necklace
CHAPTER 138Lenora's PovI thought I would be able to dive out by myself since Richard had taught me some basic things, but that was a lie. I found myself battling to breathe and fighting for my life.I flayed my arms and legs, attempting to reach the surface, but it seemed too far away.I waited for someone to dive into the pool and help me, but it appeared no help was coming.I started to lose my energy, and quietly, I hit the bottom of the pool. A memory suddenly flashed in my head; I couldn’t understand what it was, but I could see that it was a continuation of the memory I had back at Richard's family house when Tara pushed me into the lake.This time I saw a necklace, very unfamiliar, yet I felt it was connected to me.With that, I slowly passed out, losing consciousness completely. ******“Lenora, are you okay?” I heard a familiar voice over my headI grunted from sleep and managed to push my weak body up. I was lying on a hospital bed, with Ri
