Chapter 102RICHARD’S POVRealizing she didn’t see me as a monster I feared she would make my heart leap with joy, and watching her think hard to come up with solutions to solve the problems facing us made me feel a whole lot better and happier. Having a wife as supportive as her by my side was one of the best things that has happened to me.Ben will surely pay for everything he was making us go through. He thinks he can succeed at ruining B and I’s relationship as he did with Heather’s, but he is dead wrong. No matter how hard he tried, no matter whatever stunt he pulled, the harder he would fall. We will continue to grow stronger in love and unity, whether he likes it or not.Taking him down won’t be easy as he always trod carefully and covered his tracks well and also had his father to get him out of any mess he got himself. But one way or the other, I will gather enough evidence to take him down and keep him from hurting anyone else. I must take him down. That I promise. My phon

Chapter 104RICHARD’S POVAs we descended in the elevator, my stomach suddenly churned with unease as my mind raced with potential scenarios and questions that awaited me and B outside.Since my father made frantic efforts for Heather’s video not to circulate in the media and my schoolmates were forbidden from talking about it outside school, the news didn’t quite reach the general public, so I was spared that shame and humiliation.The last time I faced a crowd of reporters wasn’t long after I returned to the city. They were curious about why I’d been travelling so much. I didn’t reveal much; just said it was for luxurious vacations and building connections with other cities and nations in preparation to take over from my father when the time came, and left it at that.The story was forged well and I sounded very convincing so they ended up buying it. Since then, I haven’t disturbed me much. I knew how mind-bugging and malicious their questions could be. I just hope it won’t break B

Chapter 106RICHARD’S POVThat particular question made me instantly nervous. Of course, B was more than attractive enough for me and my heart didn’t belong to anyone else. It belonged to her and her alone. With that in mind, I came up with the best answer I could.“As my wife mentioned earlier, whoever came up with that post was trying to cause trouble for us. It was a lie. I fulfil my duties as a man to my wife. She testified about that,” I turned to B and looked at her with proud dreamy eyes. “I love my wife very much. She’s more than attractive enough for me and my heart belongs only to her.”Cheers and coos filled the air, with some people even blowing hand whistles for us. I was overwhelmed with happiness. I didn’t anticipate the event to be so jolly and cheerful, like interviewing celebrities on a Friday night talk show. I thought the reporters would be rather brutal and malicious with their questions, but thankfully, they weren’t like that at all.B’s cheeks overheated with p

Chapter 108BIANCA’S POVRichard looked at me, his hold on my hand loosened and his features contorted in confusion. “Miss who?”“Heather. Your ex-girlfriend,” I said, couldn’t help but wonder if he did that on purpose.He hesitated a little and sighed before answering that. “Yeah, I do.”Letting that one slide for a bit. I moved to the question. Missing her was normal and acceptable since they used to be close. “What about love?” I asked with rapt attention. “Do you still love her?”That question made him awkward and put him at unease as he looked away, rolling his eyes and letting out a series of deep lowly sighs as if not knowing what and how best to answer me.I knew he wouldn’t like me asking him that. But at moments like this, I needed to plan my future and make hay while the sun still shone. I needed to know my fate in case his ex-girlfriend walked through our apartment door one day and let him know she never stopped loving him while she away.I hope what he answered that rep

Chapter 110BIANCA’S POVThe buzzing of my phone startled me up from the bed, bringing an end to one of the best sleep I have had in a century. Groaning out in frustration and drowsy as fuck, I reached out to where it was on top of the nightstand, a bit surprised it was even there. I thought Richard left it somewhere in the living room after he took me hungrily in his lips last night.My eyes were barely open and still trying to accommodate the morning light, so I didn't bother to see who was calling. I squinted and clumsily tapped the green answer button. Suddenly, Nina's overly excited voice blasted through the speaker, practically pounding on my eardrums.“Oh my gosh girl, your I***a is blowing up!”This was the first time we were talking since we sorted out things about her being involved with Richard. I know it had been a while, but that didn't mean she had to call so early and ruin my sleep. I could overlook it if it was an emergency, but from her overly excited tone, I doubted i
