THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Got Her Naked
Lenora's Pov:After Giulia left, Vanya came to call us in for breakfast. I took the opportunity to walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth. As I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, I glanced at the two toothbrushes facing each other so closely and it instantly reminded me of how I nearly tried to kiss Richard. I looked away and brushed the thought off my mind, going back to brushing my teeth. I came out of the bathroom after I was done, and Richard was nowhere to be found. I walked outside to the dining hall, where I sighted him and his mother last, sitting around the dining table.“You should hurry here, Lenora. We are waiting for you.” Giulia gestured and beamed.I hurried to the table and pulled out one of the seats to sit on with a soft smile on my face. The meal was dished out by the maids, and they immediately retreated back to the kitchen after they were done.It was a delicious omelet, butter, with white truffles and a cup of coffee, but both Giulia and I went for a glass
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Be Attractive
Lenora's Pov:“Don’t come closer to me!” I barked and scampered away from him.“Get over yourself, what in your empty head do you think is about to happen here?” Richard inquired, arching an eyebrow and shaking his head in mockery."A-am I wrong?” My brows snapped together as I asked, lowering my defense.“Why would you think I want to have anything to do with you?” He hissed, and I watched as he brought out a first-aid kit from beneath the bed.He pulled my arm closer and looked closely at my cut. He was only trying to treat my wound, but for some reason my mind flew to something far, well always expect the worst when you deal with men.I became dumbfounded as I couldn't find words to utter, and my face flushed with embarrassment. Why would I have thought of something that crazy in the first place?I watched him pull out a tube of ointment from the kit, squeeze a little amount on his index finger, and apply it to my wound.I winced as the ointment stung my wound. I tried to pull my a
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Remembered An Heir
Lenora's Pov:“You don’t look too good, are you okay?” Yara inquired with a worried expression the moment she stepped into my room.I stared at her with a weak gaze.Right. I wasn’t feeling quite well. it’s not like I was sick but I wasn't feeling well either. Malaise is a really crazy feeling. I ignored her and snuggled deeper into my pillow. I had been thinking about my days back at the brothel— the days before my entire life had changed overnight. It kept coming back to my memory. I was happy that I had left that life behind, but am I fully happy being here?At least, being here is better than living shamelessly in the brothel; in here I can fully enjoy my life to the fullest, and my parents don’t have to suffer for anything.I even got a personal maid and a bodyguard, but then I knew it wouldn’t last long. I'm going to leave at the end.“Are you okay? Should I call for the doctor to check you?" She asked.“No.” I managed to mumble, cuddling my pillow closer to myself. “It's th
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Not Leave
Lenora's Pov:I found his words sending me back.I gulped down my empty throat and looked at Richard, who had no smile on his face. The real reason I was here wasn’t to work as the assistant director of operations for the house of Osvaldo, not to be his pretend wife and impress his mother, but to give him an heir.“Isn’t that what you always wanted?” His voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“W-what do you mean?” I stammered.“I mean, you have always been eager to have the child and leave.”“Us… about the contract, I am supposed to have a kid, remember?” Richard said, trying to mimic me, reminding me of the day I talked about him not making a move on me to get an heir right in this study room.I felt a bit embarrassed, remembering the day.“I remembered, you don’t have to remind me of the details.” I rolled my eyes slightly at him.“I’m just trying to remind you and be nice.” He mumbled“Nice, my foot.” I scoffed, my annoyance evident.“Do you really want me to have the heir and just go
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To The Clinic
Lenora's Pov:“Mr. Osvaldo, do you need anything?” Mrs. Vanya asked, turning in the direction of the door, and her voice managed to jerk me out of my thoughts. I watched his gaze move sharply from Mrs. Vanya and landed on me.“Not at all, I’m just here for someone who isn't supposed to be in here.” He said, and I immediately knew he was talking about me.“And if I may ask, why did you allow her in here? This isn’t her place.” His green eyes hardened, so did his tone at Vanya, causing the ambiance to change. Mrs. Vanya straightened her back while being scolded, and I instantly felt guilty.“I insisted on coming here, she didn’t drag me here.” I butted in.“You should stay out of it.” Richard snapped at me.“It is her duty to keep you out of here, this place is her territory, yet she neglected her duty.” He added even more rudely. Mrs. Vanya winced, hurt by his disrespect. “I’m sorry if I have offended you,” she apologized, curtseyed, and exited the kitchen.I watched her walk away,
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Dr. Mila
Lenora's Pov:I am well aware of the terms of our contract, and I don’t think I would be so dumb to reveal them to a third party, not even to the doctor I'll be meeting for the very first time. The journey from home to the clinic didn’t take more than an hour. The latest Rolls-Royce entered the building and pulled up in the garage. Richard stepped out of the car first, and I got down after him after adjusting the buckle of my heels.“Good day. We would like to see Dr. Mila,“ Richard stated the moment we approached the receptionist's counter.The nurse at the reception immediately adjusted her clothes after seeing Richard. A big smile appeared on her lips.“Mr. Osvaldo? The same Mr. Osvaldo of the house of Osvaldo.” She gasped, asking in a tiny and feigned melodious voice. She must have recognized Richard at first glance.“Yes, I’m here to see Dr. Mila.” Richard responded, and the excitement was written more clearly all over her face. She leaned over the appointment book on the count
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Apologize
Lenora's Pov:I sighted Tara far from the reception. I wanted to hide to avoid being seen by her because I wasn’t in the mood for her nagging. But it was already late. I thought I was able to escape from her claws, but not until I heard a very familiar voice behind me. “See what the cat dragged in, Lenora… I trust you're fine?” Her voice came in a high-pitched sing-song way, but more annoyingly, I struggled to control the urge to scratch my ears so I couldn't hear her speak.I watched her walk towards me at a fast rate as I tried to mask the annoyance on my face even though I knew my entire features mirrored my disgust. “What are you doing here? Are you here alone?” She asked, and I could see the curiosity clearly written all over her. She was asking about my husband, that is who she really is interested in.“I think I should be asking that, what are you doing here?” I folded my arms, looking up at her. Just as usual, she was on her high heels, making me feel short, I wanted nothing
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Smirked
Lenora's Pov:My attention turned to Richard who gave me an unexpected apology. Richard knew she was going to cause a fuss. He didn’t want a scene especially not in public, which is why he decided to end the whole thing with my apology and keep Tara’s mouth shut. Strangely, I let go of my resentment, and my rage melted away.I stared out the window, admiring the morning landscape and life that went on and about it.“Let’s head to a breakfast joint to make up for my mistake.” Richard said, breaking the deafening silence between us.I turned to him, stunned. At first, it was his weird ass apology, and now he's asking us to go have breakfast. Is this a trap? Did I miss something?“I’m good, it’s okay.” I mumbled and looked away again.“Take us to my favorite breakfast joint.” He instructed the chauffeur who nodded in response.Didn’t I just decline his offer?“I thought I made it clear that I wasn’t interested.” I mumbled, scrunching my brows in annoyance. “Well, I'm famished, and I'm

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
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game That Led To The Game
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? 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
