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 FOUR Lenora's Pov:“You are here,” Richard hummed, not bothering to glance up from his cell phone; he must have noticed my arrival only by the sound of my resounding footsteps.“How was work?” I asked quietly, taking a seat.His gaze tore away from his phone.“Fine.” He replied softly and his gaze soon returned to its former position. Richard's attention was only focused on his phone, I doubted if he remembered that I was still in my seat.I breathed heavily and that seemed to catch his attention.Richard instantly took a short peep at my face looking concerned.“Is something wrong?” He inquired“Nothing.” I hummed.Richard wanted to press further but a message suddenly came into his phone taking his attention again.I sighed seeing that. After a little while, Vanya came and dished out our meal. We managed to eat in silence but not until I broke it up. “You know, I have been thinking about us,” I began.He quietly placed down his phone and finally looked u

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXLenora's Pov:I closed my eyes for a few minutes, and strangely, nothing happened. My lashes trembled, and I slowly opened my eyes. Neil was right in front of me, doing nothing.Out of nowhere, a forceful blow struck the back of my neck, causing my body to weaken in an instant.“You should stop wasting my precious time on silly talks.” That was the last thing I heard before passing out, but that sounded very familiar.Neil had a company? ****My lashes trembled, and as I slowly opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a soft, big bed. I couldn't tell how long I had been out but both my hands and legs were tied. The window blinds were down, causing the whole room to be dark and my eyes scanned around the dark room. I couldn't recognize where I was, but I could tell it wasn’t a familiar environment.I wanted to speak out, but that was when I noticed the gag put in my mouth.My mind instantly ran back to how I had passed out. I w

CHAPTER 108Richard's POV:"You should stay out of it,” I snapped at Vanya. I was late and didn’t have time to wait for Lenora, so I had my breakfast in a hurry, she would probably come down to have hers later.After breakfast, I went back to the room and picked up the necessary files in my bag before going out.A call came in interrupting, I looked at the caller and I instantly picked it up.“Katherine, is the whole place set up?” I asked the moment I picked up.“Yes sir. We are just waiting for the men’s arrival, but their secretary said they are already on the way.” My secretary responded from the other end.I nodded and hung up the call. I looked briefly at my clock and noticed I still had a few minutes I could take.I breathed quietly, and after a lot of consideration, I turned abruptly and walked toward Lenora's room. I got in front of her room and walked in without hesitation or bothering to knock. I met Yara, crouched on the ground, lost in deep thought. “What about Lenora?”

CHAPTER 110Lenora's Pov:I held my cheek which still stung from the slap and stared at him bewildered, Neil suddenly stormed out of the house leaving me alone. I sniffed back my unshed tears but that was when I suddenly noticed a bunch of keys lying on the floor, it must have fallen from Neil. I hurried up and took it, I removed one from the bunch of keys before returning it to its position, I crawled back to my initial position and acted like nothing happened.Just then, the door suddenly sprang open, and Neil was back. I watched his eyes scan through the room and finally land on the floor where the key was.He picked up the key and his gaze landed on me suspiciously. I had sat in a corner holding my check and acted like I knew nothing. He suddenly looked relieved seeing that, he walked back towards the exit but he abruptly stopped turning back to my face. I heard him clear his throat and begin, His countenance had changed from that of stern anger, now he had an apologetic expr
