THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Involved The Mio Caro
CHAPTER 120Richard's POV “Mamma, what are you doing here?” I asked as I walked into the living room and approached my mother whose face held a very broad smile.“I came to visit, silly.” She said, as she pulled me in an embrace. “Where's Lenora?” She asked, looking towards the stairwell like Lenora would appear magically and somehow I hoped she would too.My mum hadn't learned about her being missing nor her abduction and I felt like a hard pill to swallow thinking of letting her know about it.“Actually… Lenora isn't around at the moment.” I responded, rubbing the back of my head. From my mother's facial expression, I knew she was disappointed. But I didn't want to tell her the truth yet, in order for her blood pressure not to go up.Knowing my mother, she wasn't one to be fooled easily as she had this ability to read through everyone. “Lenora isn't around? That's unlike her, where has she gone?” She asked, seeming a bit concerned. “She had this wedding event she had to attend,

CHAPTER 121Lenora's POVI was bound with hands and legs on the bed. Ever since the two hefty men came things had been different, I hardly saw Neil, even my meals had been brought by one of the men.“Are you not going to eat, Bitch?” The bald meaty man stared down irritatedly at me.I scoffed at hearing that.“How am I expected to eat with my hands tied?” I spoke rudely to him, “I’m not expecting that to be coming from someone who was supposed to be begging.” He smirked and suddenly got a hold of my messy hairI screamed at the pain coming from his fierce grip.“Let me go, you monster!” I yelled but that wasn’t working. He didn’t bother to listen to any of my yells.“You should learn to watch your tongue. No one is coming to save you.” He said and finally slammed me to the bed letting go of me.A tear instantly rolled out of my eyes but I was so fast to wipe it off with my shoulder. I mean I wasn't going to cry because of a heartless being like him, I had passed through many more th

CHAPTER 122Richard's POVMy wife was pregnant and missing. While it was one thing that she was missing, it was another that she was missing with our four weeks old child. What was I thinking that day? I clearly loved Lenora, but for some reason I saw it as a weakness and I'm not one to show weaknesses. Even if she had run away, it wasn’t like her to not reach out to her parents. No, she was definitely abducted, Lenora wasn’t the type to cover traces of herself, she's too sentimental. Her abductor had better not lay a finger on her else they'd better dig a grave deeper than six feet because they'd be going straight to hell if I ever find them. But now the question remains, who could be her abductor?I stopped pacing around my office and pulled out an office paper and a pen. Writing Lenora on the sheet of paper I thought of different speculations on her disappearance. I had a lot of possible outcomes of her disappearance; One, no one had called for a ransom, which entailed that the

CHAPTER 123Tara's POVI arrived at the Mexican restaurant I was instructed to be at, taking a seat. I waved over the waiter and ordered a plate of chicken enchiladas. Of all the restaurants to ask to meet it… had to be this two star piece of crap, I could only wonder how bad their food would be. My phone rang and there wasn't an ID on the caller, it was them. “I'm at the restaurant, couldn't you have picked a better restaurant?” I whined immediately when I received the call. “Do you want information or not?” The voice replied, and I rolled my eyes.“Fine, where are you? If I stay here any longer I'd throw up.” I sighed, looking around the restaurant for any trace of them. “Don't look around, you'd make yourself look suspicious.” the voice warned. “Well, how am I supposed to see you?” “God, you're insufferable.” The voice sighed, “Let your waiter bring your food, take a bite or two, pretend to want to use the restroom, leave your bag and phone at the table and go there , I'll be

CHAPTER 124Lenora POV“What do you think you are doing?” I raised my voice at him as I moved away from the man who was approaching with a deadly smirk on his face.“You're still as arrogant as you were back in the brothel” He scoffed.“You think you are someone special?” He smirked even more deadly.His eyes suddenly went down to my shirt which was slightly open by two buttons. If another button were to open, my tits would be exposed.I instantly covered my chest with my bare hands and gave a loud scoff at my actions. “I had always had my eyes on you back in the brothel. Acting all like you are the most righteous.” He grunted.One of the things I left out for Richard was Marco's part, Marco had always tried to have his way with me back then In the brothel.“Do you remember this?” He said, showing me the bite mark on his wrist.Of course I did, I was the one who gave him the bite mark.“Do you know how frustrating it is seeing this every day?” He ran his fingers into his hair.“I-I w
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of Smirks
CHAPTER 125Lenora:I screamed, at the echo of the gunshot and the room went silent asides from my shrill scream.Slowly opening my eyes, I blinked once, now twice, and turned to Neil who I thought was shot but surprisingly it wasn’t him, Neil who looked strong and fit stood properly watching a figure that belonged to Macro yelp out in pain.The person who got shot wasn’t Neil but Macro, the owner of the gun. I gasped once more, I wasn’t expecting it.Macro groaned aloud in pain. His men, hearing the shot, instantly entered the room.“Boss!” The meaty bald man screamed at the man who was almost lying flat on the floor groaning in pain and his blood splashing on the floor, it was just like a crime scene. The sight of the blood scared me even more, I held my tummy cringing more in fear. “Are you okay?” Neil rushed to me, he must have seen my perplexed expression but I was so fast that I flinched back in fear maybe due to the shock of seeing him almost kill a man. Strangely Neil on the

CHAPTER 126Richard's POVI looked out of my car on my way home, Lenora missing had been distracting me a lot.“Are you okay?” Remo glanced at me through the rear mirror.He must have noticed the worry on my face.“How could I? Lenora is still nowhere to be found, I don't think she is okay where she is,” I mumbled.“Ma’am Lenora is strong, I’m sure she is going to make it out of there alive and strong,” Remo said trying to assure me but I didn’t think that was working.“I don’t think she is okay,” I mumbled under my breath but that wasn’t for him to hear.I had the feeling that she wasn’t okay wherever she was, she seemed to be in pain, I had been having some weird nightmares for a couple of days seeing her in pain, which got me more worried.My phone suddenly buzzed and I looked down at a call from mom. I picked up after the second ring.“Any update on her yet?” She asked the moment I picked.It was really rare for Mom to go on with the main reason she called, without going with her

CHAPTER 127Richard's POV:I didn’t have much energy to chit chat with Tara so I only nodded.Her next words were suddenly interrupted by the sudden call that came into her phone, I instantly concentrated on trying to pay attention to that, it might be an important piece of information that I’m not supposed to miss out on. Tara only glanced at her cell phone and I watched her turn her phone on silent and ignore the call. It got even more suspicious.“Why are you not picking up? It might be something important.” I mumbled without bothering to take a glance at her face so as not to look suspicious.“It is not.” She said and I looked up at her smiling face.“You are strangely nice to me today.” She added and my brow raised at that.I would have told her to go back to her place or just leave as usual.“You want me to be harsh as usual?” I said and my stern expression landed on her.“Of course not. I like this side of you.” She said happily.I scoffed lightly at that.Dinner was finally o

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

CHAPTER 142RICHARD'S POVThe car finally stopped in front of the building, I slipped my phone back into my pocket and alighted from the car, I stepped on the marble floor before proceeding to the door.Lenora must have missed me, I walked in the direction of her room feeling a bit bad, I had felt a bit bad though, I had promised to stay with her the whole day but I got an urgent call that required me to leave the house instantly.Feeling a bit hot, I decided to head to my room first, I walked directly into the bathroom and took a cold bath. 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
