The Game Struck Again

CHAPTER 111Lenora's Pov:Neil was staring directly at me on the sofa but fortunately, he was fast asleep.Heaving a sigh of relief, I walked carefully to the door and carefully tiptoed completely out of his house. The moment I was out, I ran as fast as my leg could carry me, trying to return home as fast as I could before Neil woke up and noticed my absence, but quite unfortunately, it was already dark, the whole street was empty and the difficulty of getting a cab startled me.I paraded on the dark street praying for a miracle to occur and maybe my prayer was answered. A car suddenly appeared out of nowhere coming to my side, my hope instantly increased by a margin.“Help me!” I waved at the car coming in my direction to stop, but the car suddenly stopped, maybe I noticed the driver noticed me but my bubble of hope burst the moment I sighed at the person alighting from the car. It was no other person than Tara. I wasn’t expecting it to be her. She instantly squinted her face whe

The Game Called

CHAPTER 112Tara's POVThe moment Neil came down, his expression instantly changed after seeing Lenora’s lifeless body on the floor, he looked up at me In anger.“What the hell did you do to her?” He yelled.“The bitch was trying to escape, I had to stop her.” I shrugged innocently.“Stop her, is that why you tried to kill her?” He yelled more.“If you weren’t sleeping like a fool, none of this would have happened,” I yelled more.“I know it is my fault to sleep off but yet you shouldn’t have hit her that hard. I told you to stop maltreating her, do you hate her that much?”If only he knew how much I hate her, he wouldn’t have joined forces with me, I hate her gut, I hate the fact that she is poor yet she was able to get what she wanted, why would she be the one to marry Richard? “Just take her in, then we can have our discussion,” I mumbled, trying to calm down my anger.He took a last glance at me with a mix of anger before carrying Lenora up in a bridal style and taking her in, I

The Game's Inlaws

CHAPTER 113Richard’s POVI walked into Lenora's room where I instantly met a figure. It was Yara.“What are you still doing here?” I asked, my brow a bit raised.Yara instantly turned in my direction as my voice managed to catch her attention.“Sir Richard.” She greeted bowing her head slightly.“I just miss ma’am and I decided to come and spend some time in her room.” She mumbled, that was when I noticed her red buggy eyes, had she been crying or something?“When is she coming back home?” She asked eagerly. “She is returning home soon, you shouldn’t worry yourselves too much,” I mumbled I knew that wasn’t true, I don’t know if she will ever come back.I exited the room and walked to the dining hall to have my lunch, the whole room was quiet as ever.“You were supposed to be at work, I was surprised to see you home,” Vanya mumbled as she dished out my meal on the long tableI had so much work to do at the office but I couldn’t concentrate at work, so I had no choice but to head bac

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

The Game Can Be Dumb

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

The Game Hooked A Tara

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 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

The Game Of Two Hefty Men

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 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

The Game Involved The Mio Caro

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,
