THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of Tension
CHAPTER 114Richard's POV:After finding out Lenora wasn’t in her parent’s house, I rushed out panicking. Lenora doesn’t have anyone, she has no friends. So where could she be? I thought with many thoughts running through my head.“Drive.” I got into the car and ordered Remo “What’s wrong? Where's Mrs.?” Remo asked, peering at me through the rear mirror. He must have noticed the worried expression on my face. “I can’t find her there. Do you think something can be wrong with her?” I raised a brow.Remo looked a bit surprised too.“So where should I drive to?” He inquired after a long silence. “Gracious hotel. We need to pass the night there and return the next morning.” I muttered and he instantly nodded driving in the direction.My eyes were out of the tinted window the whole time with many thoughts of where Lenora could be running through my head, soon Remo pulled up in front of the hotel.“Do you think it is possible?” I inquired parading the whole room“Just a second.” He humme

CHAPTER 115Richard's POV:I sent the necessary information to the private investigator. Remo was still in the room watching the whole scene.I breathed heavily and dumped myself on the sofa“You shouldn’t worry yourself too much, we are going to find her.” He reassured me but I was still worried.My mind suddenly drifted back to Tara, she might be of help, Tara knows a lot of private investigators, so I had no choice but to place a call to her. Luckily she picked up just at the first ring.“You called back?” She said the moment she picked up.I ignored that and proceeded to the main reason that I called.“Tara, I need a list of the private investigator numbers,” I said instantly.Her brows must have raised at that.“Private investigator? What’s wrong?” She questioned. I knew she was going to get worried and ask a lot of questions.“It is Lenora, she was kidnapped,” I mumbled, heaving a sigh after a short moment of silence. Even if I didn’t tell her, I knew she was going to find out a

CHAPTER 116Richard's POV:“Of course I don’t.” Remo teased.That brat.I ignored him and got out of bed, I walked into the bathroom where I took a shower to get ready for our flight back, and began the search for Lenora.I walked back into the room where I saw a new set of clothes already placed on the bed by Remo, he had changed from his previous wear too.I dressed up in a hurry and walked towards the car that was parked in the parking lot with him.I got into the front seat while he slipped into the driver seat and instantly drove in the direction of the airport.After the long trip we arrived back home. The moment our car arrived back home, I sighed Yara already waiting in front of the house. Vanya must have told her where we went, but it will be a great disappointment when she learns I was only back alone.I ignored the thought and alighted from the car. Yara's eyes scanned around and she instantly squeezed her face when she realized Lenora was nowhere to be found, I ignored her
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Busy Or Not?
CHAPTER 117Yara's POVI stood in front of the house waiting for Sir Richard to return with Ma’am, I couldn’t wait to hug her and inhale her fresh breath. I missed her so much that I suddenly squeezed my face at the thought of the lady who had been claiming to be Sir Richard's friend. I clearly remembered how she requested to go into Ma’am Lenora’s room, she disorganized her room, hissing at every piece of cloth she picked up and trashing them to the ground I couldn’t wait for Ma’am to return and get back to her position and by then I wouldn’t be treated as worthless by Lady Tara.My face suddenly lit up a little seeing a familiar car drive in, it was Sir Richard’s car. My brow suddenly scampered seeing Sir Richard alighted from the car but Ma’am Lenora was nowhere to be found.“She didn’t come home with him?” I was instantly worried.I greeted Sir Richard who had a poker face, he ignored me and walked into the house instead.“What about Ma’am Lenora?” I stopped Remo and questioned

CHAPTER 118Lenora’s POVThe sun rays drifted into the room through the window blinds and landed on my face. Its reflection immediately pulled me out of my sleep and I woke up. My eyelashes trembled as I struggled to adjust to the sudden light. It has hardly been like that. The room had mostly been dark but I found the curtain drawn open today with beautiful sunshine coming in.I grunted and managed to pull myself up on the bed ignoring the headache coming from the back of my head.I stopped abruptly as the memory of everything that happened the previous night came rushing to me, I had the key and was trying to escape but… Tara appeared.“Tara is Neil's accomplice!" I thought and gasped aloud.“But how come I wasn’t dead yet?” I said remembering how hard she had hit me from behind.“You are too loud.” I heard a familiar voice that scared me, and I instantly cringed.I wasn’t expecting to be scared that much, I mean it was Neil.His hawk-like eyes landed sternly at me and for a second
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Isn't Dumb Afterall
CHAPTER 119Richard's POV“So what do you want to talk about?” I questioned Yara jolting out of my mind.“It is about Ma’am Lenora.” She mumbled and my overall attention was instantly diverted to it.I walked back to the direction of my room with the thought of Tara being involved with Lenora going missing, but getting to the doorway, I managed to overhear her conservation. She seemed to be having an intense conversation with someone over the phone. I couldn’t grasp the context of the conversation. My mind went to the report Yara gave me about Tara going into Lenora's room to perform some drama and for a few minutes I found her even more suspicious. I pushed the door open and walked in without hesitation.“I will talk to you later.” Her voice became soft this time and she instantly hung up the call.“Richard, are you back because of me?” I watched her face flushed at my arrival.“Who was that?” I asked as I walked closer to her.“No one important, Just some business discussion.” She

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 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

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

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

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
