THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game In A Party
CHAPTER NINETY SIX Lenora's Pov:It was a Saturday morning,“Where to?” Yara questioned me as she stared at me from head to toe.“I’m going out, of course.” “I already got permission from Richard, I’m not planning to sneak out.” I rolled my eyes this time.“Okay.” She raised her shoulder.“But can I go with you, please?” She suddenly pouted childishly, but that wasn’t going to work on me.“No.” I declined, and I walked away.She instantly gave the tray in her hands to one of the maids passing by and ran after me.“Are you ready?” Remo asked, walking towards the car.Richard had ordered him to drive me to wherever I was heading.“Please…” Yara tugged at my dress from behind. “Just this once, huh?” She pouted again. I knew she was doing all that because of Remo, coming with me would create more time for her with Remo. “Fine, just get in, and don’t think of disturbing me in any way,” I mumbled.“You are the best, ma’am.” I watched her blow me a silly kiss before hurrying into the car
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Met A Game
CHAPTER NINETY SEVENLenora's Pov: I linked arms with Neil and I walked into the hall with him.My eyes scanned through the big hall that was filled with a lot of people clad in different dresses. My heart raced at the thought of running into Richard, the thought of him seeing me linking arms with another man made my feet freeze.“You two are finally here.” I heard a voice that brought me back to reality.“Zoe!” I exclaimed with a big smile on my face.“How long has it been? Three years? Four years?” She said with a smile on her face and opened her arms for an embrace.I instantly let go of Neil and ran into her arms, it had been a long time since I saw her. I felt her warmth and sniffed in her nice cologne.“I was really happy when Neil told me you will be coming with him.” She said as we pulled out of the hug.“I was surprised when I heard you are finally getting married to Mathew, I mean you guys always fought back then in college,” I said with a smile as the memory came back rush
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And The Ex-Bestfriend
CHAPTER NINETY EIGHTLenora's Pov:“What did you say?” My brows snapped together.“Never mind.” He muttered and began to walk away.I hurried after him and didn’t expect to nearly bump into a figure causing me to splash the glass of wine she was holding on her.She yelled out in anger and wiped furiously at her dress which seemed quite expensive with the handkerchief in her hands.“I’m sorry.” I apologized, staring back at the lady who looked very familiar.“Can't you watch where you're going, you fucking bimbo!” She turned, and cussed at me.When our gaze met we both froze. I couldn’t believe it, after all this time, I'd never expected to meet her here. Looking so carefree like she didn't sell me off to prostitution. “R-Roxanne?” I stuttered, unable to hide my shock.Anger began to boil within me, what was she doing here anyways?No, what was I expecting, we all did attend the same high school, she may have still been in touch with Zoe and Zoe must have invited her.Neil also halted
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game's Possession
CHAPTER NINETY NINELenora's Pov:My heart raced at the sight of Richard standing in the hall. I stood up instinctively, “R-Richard, what are you doing here?” I stuttered the moment he began to approach us.I mean he didn’t even have an invitation card, and Zoe had made sure it was by invite only. What I was expecting? He is afterall, who he is. He probably would've used his connection.Neil stood up as well, dusting dust off invisible dirt off his pants. “Hello again, Mr. Osvaldo.” Neil greeted but Richard ignored him and wrapped his arm around my waist, possessively. My heart raced at different possibilities, was I in trouble? I didn't let him know where I was going, how on earth did he find me?“Neil, was it?” Richard finally spoke, his usual expression of indifference sitting on his face. “If you are done, then I would love to take my wife away.” He said, pulling me even closer to himself.It was quite uncomfortable, especially with the kind of conservation I just had Neil, by ch
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of Delusion
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED Lenora's Pov:“What are you so worried about?” Richard asked, coming back into the room.“Nothing, just random Canon events.” I shrugged, looking through my phone for anything distracting.He didn't seem satisfied with my response but also didn’t press any further, maybe because he didn't want to pry into my privacy.I looked down at my half naked self.“Anything to wear? The temperature is low and I'm freezing.” I asked, rubbing on the goosebumps that had formed on my arms.“That’s why I bought you this,” He announced, walking over to the room’s closet and took out a female nightie which didn't look like one that I own, he had probably just bought it.“You came prepared?” I shook my head in disbelief— this man.“Of course.” He chuckled.I didn’t take a proper look at the nightwear but not until I took it from him and walked into the bathroom to change.“You bought me this?” I yelled coming out of the bathroom.The material was a little soft, the nightwear was rev
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of Exes
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONE NEIL'S POV“Really? We'll see how far your delusions lead you.” She whispered back.I looked and had eyes that were full of disdain. I suddenly grabbed her arms and dragged her outside.“Let go of me!” She yelled and managed to escape from my tight grip.I ran my hands into my hair in frustration.“I’m going to get her and there is nothing you are going to do about that,” I said sternly. “Do you even know who her husband is?” She scoffed and crossed her arms around her chest. “I don’t care, I’m going to have her.”“Not when she is married to him. It’s not like you are going to get her divorced or something.” She scoffed, rolling her eyes this time.“What if I do?” I scorned.She shook her head in disbelief.“Isn’t that what you wanted too?” I asked moving closer to her, she slowly took a few steps away from me. “What if I do too?” She suddenly halted and stared up at me sternly.My mind suddenly went back to the conservation she and Lenny had the other

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWOLENORA'S POVI grunted and rolled to the other side of my bed, “Are you sure you're okay?” Yara asked, staring sternly at my face.I didn't know but my body ached all over, but at the same time I didn’t want Yara to worry.“I’m fine.” I hummed and rolled to the other side trying to avoid eye contact.I had been feeling so sick right from the previous day.I heard Yara shuffled her feet out of the room and I was left alone. I heaved a sigh and managed to pull myself up from the bed. I opened the drawer beside my bed and pulled out a tablet which I took and I gulped it down with the cup of water on the drawer. I had been taking some pain killers that I got from the pharmacy but it wasn't working.“Are you taking the medication again?” The door opened and Yara walked in with a mini tray.“Should I call the doctor in?” Yara asked but I shook my head negatively again. Calling the doctor in will grab Richard’s attention and I didn’t want to get him worried.“I'l

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THREELenora's Pov:“You look even worse, Did something happen in the doctor’s office?” Yara asked the moment I stepped out.I forced a smile on my face. Finally, after a month, I was pregnant but I wasn’t exactly thrilled about it.“I’m okay.” I hummed.Remo led the way to the parking lot and we all got into the car.“What did the doctor call the nature of your sickness? Fever?” Yara inquired as she spun in her seat.I clenched my grip tightly around my purse which had the test result in it.“Yeah, just fever,” I mumbled and forced a smile at Yara.“I was already prescribed some medication, you don’t have to get yourself worried,” I added and she nodded.The rest of the drive back home was quiet. I alighted from the car and stepped on the marble floor, Yara offered to take my purse in but I declined, preferring to take it in by myself.“I would like to be alone,” I requested.Yara nodded and she quietly walked out. I was left alone, I let out a deep breath try

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
