THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And The Key
CHAPTER 110Lenora's Pov:I held my cheek which still stung from the slap and stared at him bewildered, Neil suddenly stormed out of the house leaving me alone. I sniffed back my unshed tears but that was when I suddenly noticed a bunch of keys lying on the floor, it must have fallen from Neil. I hurried up and took it, I removed one from the bunch of keys before returning it to its position, I crawled back to my initial position and acted like nothing happened.Just then, the door suddenly sprang open, and Neil was back. I watched his eyes scan through the room and finally land on the floor where the key was.He picked up the key and his gaze landed on me suspiciously. I had sat in a corner holding my check and acted like I knew nothing. He suddenly looked relieved seeing that, he walked back towards the exit but he abruptly stopped turning back to my face. I heard him clear his throat and begin, His countenance had changed from that of stern anger, now he had an apologetic expr

CHAPTER 111Lenora's Pov:Neil was staring directly at me on the sofa but fortunately, he was fast asleep.Heaving a sigh of relief, I walked carefully to the door and carefully tiptoed completely out of his house. The moment I was out, I ran as fast as my leg could carry me, trying to return home as fast as I could before Neil woke up and noticed my absence, but quite unfortunately, it was already dark, the whole street was empty and the difficulty of getting a cab startled me.I paraded on the dark street praying for a miracle to occur and maybe my prayer was answered. A car suddenly appeared out of nowhere coming to my side, my hope instantly increased by a margin.“Help me!” I waved at the car coming in my direction to stop, but the car suddenly stopped, maybe I noticed the driver noticed me but my bubble of hope burst the moment I sighed at the person alighting from the car. It was no other person than Tara. I wasn’t expecting it to be her. She instantly squinted her face whe

CHAPTER 112Tara's POVThe moment Neil came down, his expression instantly changed after seeing Lenora’s lifeless body on the floor, he looked up at me In anger.“What the hell did you do to her?” He yelled.“The bitch was trying to escape, I had to stop her.” I shrugged innocently.“Stop her, is that why you tried to kill her?” He yelled more.“If you weren’t sleeping like a fool, none of this would have happened,” I yelled more.“I know it is my fault to sleep off but yet you shouldn’t have hit her that hard. I told you to stop maltreating her, do you hate her that much?”If only he knew how much I hate her, he wouldn’t have joined forces with me, I hate her gut, I hate the fact that she is poor yet she was able to get what she wanted, why would she be the one to marry Richard? “Just take her in, then we can have our discussion,” I mumbled, trying to calm down my anger.He took a last glance at me with a mix of anger before carrying Lenora up in a bridal style and taking her in, I

CHAPTER 113Richard’s POVI walked into Lenora's room where I instantly met a figure. It was Yara.“What are you still doing here?” I asked, my brow a bit raised.Yara instantly turned in my direction as my voice managed to catch her attention.“Sir Richard.” She greeted bowing her head slightly.“I just miss ma’am and I decided to come and spend some time in her room.” She mumbled, that was when I noticed her red buggy eyes, had she been crying or something?“When is she coming back home?” She asked eagerly. “She is returning home soon, you shouldn’t worry yourselves too much,” I mumbled I knew that wasn’t true, I don’t know if she will ever come back.I exited the room and walked to the dining hall to have my lunch, the whole room was quiet as ever.“You were supposed to be at work, I was surprised to see you home,” Vanya mumbled as she dished out my meal on the long tableI had so much work to do at the office but I couldn’t concentrate at work, so I had no choice but to head bac

CHAPTER 114Richard's POV:After finding out Lenora wasn’t in her parent’s house, I rushed out panicking. Lenora doesn’t have anyone, she has no friends. So where could she be? I thought with many thoughts running through my head.“Drive.” I got into the car and ordered Remo “What’s wrong? Where's Mrs.?” Remo asked, peering at me through the rear mirror. He must have noticed the worried expression on my face. “I can’t find her there. Do you think something can be wrong with her?” I raised a brow.Remo looked a bit surprised too.“So where should I drive to?” He inquired after a long silence. “Gracious hotel. We need to pass the night there and return the next morning.” I muttered and he instantly nodded driving in the direction.My eyes were out of the tinted window the whole time with many thoughts of where Lenora could be running through my head, soon Remo pulled up in front of the hotel.“Do you think it is possible?” I inquired parading the whole room“Just a second.” He humme

CHAPTER 115Richard's POV:I sent the necessary information to the private investigator. Remo was still in the room watching the whole scene.I breathed heavily and dumped myself on the sofa“You shouldn’t worry yourself too much, we are going to find her.” He reassured me but I was still worried.My mind suddenly drifted back to Tara, she might be of help, Tara knows a lot of private investigators, so I had no choice but to place a call to her. Luckily she picked up just at the first ring.“You called back?” She said the moment she picked up.I ignored that and proceeded to the main reason that I called.“Tara, I need a list of the private investigator numbers,” I said instantly.Her brows must have raised at that.“Private investigator? What’s wrong?” She questioned. I knew she was going to get worried and ask a lot of questions.“It is Lenora, she was kidnapped,” I mumbled, heaving a sigh after a short moment of silence. Even if I didn’t tell her, I knew she was going to find out a

CHAPTER 116Richard's POV:“Of course I don’t.” Remo teased.That brat.I ignored him and got out of bed, I walked into the bathroom where I took a shower to get ready for our flight back, and began the search for Lenora.I walked back into the room where I saw a new set of clothes already placed on the bed by Remo, he had changed from his previous wear too.I dressed up in a hurry and walked towards the car that was parked in the parking lot with him.I got into the front seat while he slipped into the driver seat and instantly drove in the direction of the airport.After the long trip we arrived back home. The moment our car arrived back home, I sighed Yara already waiting in front of the house. Vanya must have told her where we went, but it will be a great disappointment when she learns I was only back alone.I ignored the thought and alighted from the car. Yara's eyes scanned around and she instantly squeezed her face when she realized Lenora was nowhere to be found, I ignored her
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Busy Or Not?
CHAPTER 117Yara's POVI stood in front of the house waiting for Sir Richard to return with Ma’am, I couldn’t wait to hug her and inhale her fresh breath. I missed her so much that I suddenly squeezed my face at the thought of the lady who had been claiming to be Sir Richard's friend. I clearly remembered how she requested to go into Ma’am Lenora’s room, she disorganized her room, hissing at every piece of cloth she picked up and trashing them to the ground I couldn’t wait for Ma’am to return and get back to her position and by then I wouldn’t be treated as worthless by Lady Tara.My face suddenly lit up a little seeing a familiar car drive in, it was Sir Richard’s car. My brow suddenly scampered seeing Sir Richard alighted from the car but Ma’am Lenora was nowhere to be found.“She didn’t come home with him?” I was instantly worried.I greeted Sir Richard who had a poker face, he ignored me and walked into the house instead.“What about Ma’am Lenora?” I stopped Remo and questioned

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

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? Did he ever tell you about it?” I inquired“He started having them when he was very young and back then he to

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
