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

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
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Found The Sight
CHAPTER 134RICHARD'S POVI scanned vividly through the crowd but there was no sign of Lenora, my heart skipped a bit and I was slightly drenched in fresh sweat.“I only left her for a few seconds to say Hi to some but I couldn’t find her when I got back to our table,” Jasmine squeezed her face, getting me even more worried.My mind ran through a lot of things which I didn’t want to believe was through, Neil had fled out of the country and I didn’t think he would ever be able to come back and Tara had been arrested by the cops and went to jail. “What’s wrong with you two?” I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me.Jasmine and I turned in the direction where we saw Lenora.“Lenny, where the hell have you been!” Jasmine exclaimed the moment her gaze rested on her.“We had been looking all over for you, where were you?” She added frowning slightly this time.Lenora suddenly burst out laughing.“Don’t tell me you were scared I was kidnapped or something Richard.” She laughed at my fa

CHAPTER 135LENORA'S POVThe Sunlight filtered in the room, its early rays shining brightly on my face. It was a bright morning and I must confess that it was full of love. I kneaded the dough with an even wider smile at the thought of Richard.It was already a month since the whole thing, my smile became even wider at the thought of no more Tara. It was a weekend, Tara would have come over with a silly excuse just to see Richard but all that was already over “Are you thinking about him right now?” I heard a familiar voice that jolted me back to reality.I frowned slightly at the voice, it was no other person than Yara who had been with me in the kitchen all day.“I’m not. I’m only remembering some things.” I frowned even more without hesitation but Yara continued to laugh.That brat!Once I finished kneading the dough, I put it into the oven with Yara’s help.Mrs. Vanya had taken a day's leave so we were given the privilege to do what we wanted in the kitchen before she returned.“W
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game At The Pool Party
CHAPTER 136Lenora's Pov:I wore a flowy maxi dress with a heeled sandal staring at my reflection in front of the big-sized mirror. I was dressed adequately by Yara and my wavy brunette hair was combed until it shone and my scalp ached also by her. Yara straightened, my reddish brown hair tumbling behind my back. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the door opening followed by quick footsteps but before I could react in time, I was grabbed by strong hands. A smile instantly crept from the corner of my lips the moment I sighted Richard from the big mirror.“Why do you look so hot?” He whispered seductively into my ears.“I was born to look sexy,” I whispered back, teasing him.Yara suddenly cleared her throat across the room as she walked out of my closet.“I would like to take my leave now ma’am.” Yara bowed with a smile before heading towards the door with Richard’s gaze right behind her.For a minute I felt it looked weird again just like the last time he called her out to discuss with
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Pushed Into The Pool
CHAPTER 137Lenora's Pov “You should leave. I will be okay on my own, I’m not a kid.” I smiled broadly at Richard.“Are you sure about that?” He inquired and I nodded firmly,He kissed me directly on the lips before leaving with Zandov.“Mr. Richard’s wife?” I suddenly heard a soft meek female voice.I turned in the direction where I saw a lady I couldn’t recognize. I slightly raised my eyebrows. “Hello. I’m Ellis, a model.” She introduced and that slightly reminded me of Tara.Tara would probably have been with Richard the whole time, forcing herself around him. “Why don’t you join the ladies at our table?” The lady added.My eyes went over to the table where she had pointed and I saw most of the women of the day chatting in groups and showing off what they wore and what their husbands had gifted them. Even though the women had accompanied their husbands for the day, it was also the avenue to show who was richer than whom and what they had been gifted by their husbands.And the un
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

THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game's End
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

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
