Semua Bab BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET GODDESS: Bab 91 - Bab 100

There was absolute tranquility. Barbara lost every strength she had in her, and Emily was greatly marveled at how Richard stood up for her.They stayed mute and gaped at each other, sending different messages through the use of their eyes alone.After a while, Barbara scoffed and walked out of the kitchen in defeat.A massive sigh escaped Emily’s lips and, slowly, she moved away from Richard’s back and tried to pretend as though nothing happened.Richard crossed his legs and gazed at her intently, almost digging through her with his mere gazes.“You should go to your room, sir”, Emily muttered and got busy with washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen.“Do you really want me to go to my room?” Richard asked with a slight chuckle, walking closer to Emily, whose heart was beating out of her chest.She had wanted to set her eyes on him, to pull him into a warm hug and tell him how much she missed him.However, the series of events that took place some moments ago made her have a rethi

Emily stood by the door of the kitchen, peeking into the living room and trying to catch a glimpse of what was going on.She observed how clingy Barbara became, and she needed no one to tell her that they were in the eyes of the public and had to act cozy and sweet.Emily let out a loud hiss and focused her gaze on Richard, who was clearly uncomfortable but covered up with a pretentious smile.He never smiled at Barbara, and Emily could swear that the only time he smiled sincerely was when he was together with her.“Mr. Richard. I’m sure your wife informed you of our visit and the rumors that were starting to circulate about you having an affair”, a young journalist asked Richard, who squeezed his face into a frown.“I’m not aware”.Richard was uninterested in whatever it was they planned to do. Barbara was responsible for it and as long as he was concerned, it was fake.“Why are you people even here?” Richard suddenly asked as he sat up and stared at them intently.Their eyes opened

Emily was becoming tired and bored with the meeting they were having. She hissed for the hundredth time and was about to head back to the kitchen when she heard the next question.“We also heard that you went on the trip with your maid”, the one journalist who didn’t seem to believe anything they had said suddenly asked, staring at Barbara and back at Richard.Richard turned to Barbara immediately, silently wondering how someone he called his wife could be so stupid and silly.“Wow!” Richard mouthed and took in a deep breath, getting ready for another round of fabricated acts.“Just like you called it; a maid. I hope you understand the meaning of a maid?” Richard threw the question back at the journalist who had asked.Emily retraced her steps back to the side of the door. Her heart was beating out of her chest and with every minute that passed, she felt as though she was at the verge of passing out.“You know, I just can’t help but wonder why you decided to go on this trip with a mai

Various news stations carried the information relating to Richard and his wife. It was no news to him. That was the world he found himself in, and most times, he found himself wondering if he loved that life.“For once, I want to be normal”, he thought silently as a deep sigh escaped his lips.The door to his bedroom creaked open and Barbara poked her face into the room.“They believed our story. You should be glad I came around to help”, Barbara said with a proud smile.“Why? What exactly is your reason for all of these? Isn’t the fame you’ve acquired enough for you? Why do you want more attention in our lives?” Richard asked, with a visible look of frustration in his eyes.Barbara laughed aloud and kept mute. He was right after all. She had done that, not only because she wanted to punish him and make him return from the Maldives, but because she wanted to trend in the news.Barbara loved attention and with each day that passed, she craved to be on news stations or blogs and website

“Stop!” Emily gasped as her heart hitched.That was all it took for her to swirl around and gaze at him; his touch.A smile curved on Richard’s face as he took in Emily’s facial features. She had been crying, and it was clear and very obvious.“I’m sorry”, Richard apologized and picked up the flower which he handed to her.“I know that mere gifts isn’t enough to cover up the hurt I cost you earlier today. But I hope you can look into my eyes and see my intentions”, Richard explained, while Emily swallowed hard and glanced at the gifts.Everything was new to her, and that seemed to be the major reason she fell so hard for him. Never in her life did anyone buy her flowers or, even, gifts.She only watched it in television and heard of it in conversations.“I am truly sorry, and you know I didn’t mean any of what I said”, Richard apologized, peering into her eyes intently.Emily looked up until her eyes locked with his. She was short of words to utter, but she needed to talk.“Every time
