THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Shocked Her
Lenora's Pov:I came to a final decision, and I walked out of my room, heading to Richard’s room, after contemplating for some minutes. I placed a knock on his door, and his voice instructed me in.Walking into the room, I sighted Richard standing at the window. His eyes were out of the window, and he trailed his finger around the flower vase. I looked closely at the man, who seemed busy on a phone call. For a minute, I began to wonder who he was talking to, but my curiosity was soon cleared.“Mamma, I will know what to do about it.” He said, and I instantly knew he was talking to his mother.I was a bit curious about what they were talking about for Richard to be so serious and calm.I walked out of his room after dropping the two ties on his table. He was still busy on his phone call, and I didn't want to distract him. From his conversation with his mother, the only thing I could grab was something about his family Thanksgiving party, and I began to wonder what it was about.“Wher
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Peaked
Lenora's Pov:I grumbled as I watched Yara pack my clothes around the house.“I’m going to miss you. I wish I could go with you, though.” She mumbled.I will be going without Yara and Remo, and that instantly got me pissed and not interested. How on earth am I going to cope? Who am I expected to chat and play with? Richard, who will be grumpy all day?“Don’t worry, we will return in a few days.” I assured her, forcing a smile on my face.She smiled at me and packed up more of my clothes.The trip is still in two days, and I began to wonder why Yara has already started packing up. She had packed up a lot of clothes into my luggage, and that got me even more surprised. It's not like we are going to stay forever in Italy. I heard it would be a big party; what was I expecting from the House of Osvaldo anyway?A lot of other influential people would be invited, and there would be paparazzi around, of course.Yara had managed to pack most of my beautiful dresses. I can’t believe I will ha
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Not Possess
Lenora's Pov:I ran out of the house, holding the end of my dress after me. I didn’t have the time to change; I was in a hurry.“Where are you rushing to?” I ran into Yara, who immediately stopped me.“Neil is terribly sick, I need to check on him,” I muttered, planning to dash out of the house. I was already feeling impatient after seeing her stop me midway.“Sick? You can’t go right now. Mr. Richard won’t allow that, and your flight is just in three hours.” Yara added, stopping me again.A frown was leashed on my face, especially at the mention of Richard.“I don’t care what he does, I can’t watch my friend die," I yelled before dashing completely out of the house.“Mrs. Lenora!” Yara yelled after me, but it was already late.I sprang out of the house, luckily, there weren’t many guards around, so I was able to escape without any restrictions.Luckily, I was able to catch a cab on the quiet street. The driver drove me to the address Neil gave.I took the elevator, which soon landed
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Italy
CHAPTER SIXTY ONELenora's Pov:“You should get ready for the trip,” Richard said, and strangely, he walked away, leaving me dumbfounded.I stared at his retreating figure, batting my eyelashes in disbelief. I was half expecting him to get furious, but, rather, he chose to walk away.“Are you okay? I hope you didn’t get hurt along the way.” Yara moved closer, checking me from head to toe.“I’m fine, nothing wrong happened.” I smiled at her."Things get messy when you aren't here, and I already warned you not to go, I know Mr. Richard was going to cause a fuss." Yara squeezed her face, reminding me of everything again.I heaved a sigh and turned in Remo's direction. He suddenly took his feet off and walked out. Richard came back in a few minutes, he had already worn a suit jacket on his white shirt. “You should head to the car, we are already getting late.” He mumbled.Yara took my hand and escorted me to the car that was parked outside. Remo was in the driver's seat; I guess he woul
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To The Grandmother
Lenora's Pov:Counting the number of people Guilia had introduced me to. I made a mental note, trying to assimilate their names, but I wasn’t that dumb not to remember their faces. Jasmine smiled at me, and I instantly smiled back. I was a bit happy seeing her, and I could easily recognize her among everyone since I had met her before at the party."I can't believe that Richard is actually married.” The lady Guilia had introduced earlier to me as Bria, Richard’s aunt muttered. Her eyes scanned disdainfully at me from head to toe.“I love her, she looks really pretty.” Veronica, her daughter, ignored her mother's awful expression, and she giggled. I could see the excitement on her face.“You look cute too.” I smiled back at her. I seemed to be a little older than her, she looked like she'd probably be in her first year of college, because of how childish she seemed.She was putting on a brown tank top over a short flared skirt, which suited her figure perfectly. She had her chestnut
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To William Osvaldo
CHAPTER SIXTY THREELenora's Pov:I looked at the woman who had no traces of a smile on her face, didn’t Richard say she liked a big smile?“Richard, you are here.” The woman suddenly let out a small smile at Richard. I was a bit relieved to see that.“Grandmother Minetta, How have you been?” Richard walked forward and gave the woman in the wheelchair an embrace.I stood at the same spot, staring at the scene. Richard cleared his throat, reminding me of my duties.I instantly stepped forward and bowed slightly.“Good day, grandmother.” I greeted.“Is this your wife, Lenora? The one Giulia keeps talking about?” She glanced slightly at Richard, then back to my face.Giulia already told her about me? What was I expecting anyway? “Come here and greet me properly, were you not raised well.” She muttered, and that was when I realized the huge gap between us, the room was so big that I could stand miles away from her.I walked closer to her, maintaining the smile on my face. As I moved clo
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of Jasmine And Fiona
Lenora's Pov:"I raised his father, but Richard doesn't want to believe I did." "I missed his father so much. How cheerful he is." He said and smiled. "We used to be best buddies, even our mother couldn't separate us. Richard took a lot after him. I keep seeing my brother in his eyes." He added.Even though I couldn't understand why he was telling me all this, I stayed quiet and listened to his words.“I thought you wanted to wait outside, but you are here discussing this with this man?” A voice suddenly interrupted. It was Richard's voice that was laced with disdain.Richard had uttered those words freely, unable to disguise his disgust.We were so engulfed in our discussion that we didn't notice when he arrived. He already finished his conservation with Grandmother?I pursed my lips and looked at him. Am I not allowed to talk to his uncle?“Richard, it is not what you think.” I said, immediately, but he ignored me. The next minute, I watched him walk away, leaving me with William,
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Questioned Her Dating Life
CHAPTER SIXTY FIVELenora's Pov:We watched Fiona leave in search of her husband, leaving Jasmine's jaw slackened.I looked at the lady, whose countenance had changed to that of sadness.“Don’t mind her, we argue a lot.” She forced a smile on her face, and I nodded lightly.“We are allowed to do this.” I looked at Jasmine, who was busy opening a bottle of wine.She had dragged me to the mini bar that was just across the room. I watched her grab a bottle of white champagne and opened it up. I didn’t want to get into trouble, especially with Richard. I didn’t want him to remind me that a lady is to control herself wherever she is.“This is my house, my territory.” She winked.She is also a lady of the house, I knew she could do whatever she wanted. My eyes scanned around the big house, and strangely, since we started roaming around the house, we didn’t run into Giulia or the rest. She poured two glasses, took one and carefully passed the second to me.I watched her take a sip while I

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

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
