THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And An Intruding Tara
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
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Searching For The Judas
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
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And A Hidden Pregnancy
CHAPTER 128Lenora's POVI sat on the bed with my legs crossed while my eyes were on the woman who was busy scrubbing the bloody floor, Neil had come in with her after a few minutes he left with the pistol. The woman's gaze suddenly tore away from what she was doing and rested on me.“You didn’t tell me you are now married.” She mumbled turning back to Neil who had stayed quiet the whole time.She isn’t just an ordinary cleaner? Seeing them exchange such mutual conservation, they must be quite close.“I don’t think I have any reason to tell you,” Neil replied rudely, ignoring the woman's soft gaze.“Neil.” She gently called and I watched Neil frown more without hesitation.It is quite obvious that their relationship wasn’t that smooth.“Don’t forget that I’m like your mother, I typically raised you to be what you become.” She said and my brows scampered a bit, even if she raised him, I didn’t think she looked anywhere familiar. I had known Neil from kindergarten till high school, so
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Came For Lenora
CHAPTER 129Lenora's POVI blinked trying to not believe what I just heard from Neil’s lips.“Aborting what?” I stuttered“Your baby. I hate it.” He yelled and ran his fingers into his hair in frustration again“I can’t believe you are pregnant for that fool.” He mumbled under his breath.First I wasn’t expecting him to find out but now he is planning to kill my baby?“Why can’t I keep it? It is my baby. You kept me here without my permission and now you are trying to kill my baby?” “It belongs to Richard and I can’t allow you to keep him.”“Don’t ever think of keeping it or else.” He threatened again and tears instantly rolled down my face.He walked over to my side and he bound my hand and feet back.“And don’t ever dream of going back to him. That will never happen.” I watched him take out his cell phone and put a call across to someone, I instantly guessed that it was Tara.He took a last glance at me before proceeding out of the room I looked down at my hand and leg which were

CHAPTER 130Richard's POVReceiving the news from Remo, I ran out of the house in the direction of the car that was already parked outside by one of the men.“Drive right now!” I ordered placing a call to Remo“What’s the situation right now?” I asked, feeling already impatient.“Everything is under control, our men have already arrived armed, we are just waiting for them to arrive.” He responded instantly.“Alright. I will be there in a minute.” I said and instantly hung up.“Step on it now,” I ordered the man who instantly stepped vividly on the accelerator.My feet were tapping agitatedly up and down, and anyone would notice my impatience. Nervousness made my palms sweaty.The drive, which was supposed to take just a few minutes, felt much longer in my eyes. Finally, the car stopped at the destination and I instantly alighted. Remo walked towards me in an unstable manner and I raised my brows and questioned.“What’s the condition now?” I asked, looking at the men that were already
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game At Bedside
CHAPTER 131Richard's POV:After hearing the doctor’s words I walked out of his office with my fist tightly clenched. If only I could get Neil and Tara at this point, I was going to tear them apart into pieces.I walked to the ward Lenora was moved to. My men who were already guarding the door, instantly bowed at my sight, I ignored them and dragged my feet into the ward.Getting into the private VVIP ward, Lenora was lying helplessly on the bed with many machines connected to her, a tear instantly rolled down my face. I couldn’t imagine what she would have passed through there, especially with the pregnancy.I suddenly blamed myself for everything more, maybe if I hadn’t rejected her that night, if I had told her that I loved her back, this might have been different, she might have slept over in my room and the abduction wouldn’t have taken place.I got on my knees crying my heart out with my hand slightly on her belly.“Lenora, I'm sorry.""I'm so sorry for coming too late." I cried
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of Fury
CHAPTER 132Richard's POV:The moment I noticed Lenora was up, my eyes snapped wide open. The doctor had concluded that she might not be up for weeks but miraculously she woke up after just two days.“Lenora,” I called her name and I heard her grunt in pain. Her eyes were only half open but I could see that she was awake. My heart sank hearing her grunt even more, is she still in pain?I took her into my arms but suddenly heard her faint voice. “Richard… I’m scared.” She whimpered subconsciously and sank deeply into my arms.My heart crumbled into a million pieces. “I’m here with you, no one is going to ever touch you again,” I said firmly assuring her.As I tried to lay her weak body back on the bed, I suddenly saw something behind her making my heart shatter more into pieces.It was outstretched on the bed, the red color producing a stark contrast to the bed sheets.My eyes were stormy as I recognized the stark crimson glare of blood.Lenora is bleeding? It was at that moment t

CHAPTER 133Richard's POVI walked out of Lenora’s room and Yara instantly ran after me.She closed the door behind her and looked up slightly at me, “You called for me Sir.” She mumbled a bit scared of my stern expression.“Where have you been?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest.“I’m sorry I didn’t inform you about it. I left for home, it was an emergency.” She said but I didn’t believe that.“Where were you the night my wife was kidnapped?” I asked and I watched her eyes squint.“What are you talking about Sir?” “I think I asked a question and you are expected to give an immediate answer,” I said sternly and she shivered at my harsh voice.“I was in my room sleeping.”“By chance, are you suspecting me about anything?” She raised my brow slightly at me.“You can go now,” I mumbled narrating.She seemed to hesitate for a minute, she took the last glance at my face and nodded slightly before walking back into Lenora’s room.I paved around the hallway for a few seconds. I had t

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.
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE Checkmate
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? Did he ever tell you about it?” I inquired“He started having them when he was very young and back then he to
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game's Nightmares 2
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

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
