The Apology

Chapter 121BIANCA’S POV“It’s really a beautiful ring…” Heather forced a smile before lowering her gaze. “I didn’t imagine he’d marry so fast.”From the way she said that it was obvious she wasn’t happy. I let down my hand, playing with the ring in my finger and slightly angled my head as I observed her for a bit.What was she expecting? For him to wait for her till eternity, not knowing if she was alive or dead. No, baby girl. I’m sorry, but that’s not how it’s done.I folded my lips together, playfully moving them from side to side as I pitied her. Judging from her demeanour, she must have lived a fairytale life until that video occured.This must be really hard for her to take in, and it wasn’t even her fault. But what’s done has been done. The sooner she learns to live with it the better for her.Her expression was like that of a puppy rejected by her owner. She was so meek I doubt she could even hurt a fly. At least she wouldn’t be a problem to me for the little time she will b

Answers I

Chapter 122 BIANCA’S POV “You don’t have to apologize,” Richard stopped her. “It’s not your fault any of that happened…” “No…” she blurted. “It’s my fault…if I didn’t meet up with him in the first place, all these wouldn’t happen.” That came as a blow to Richard as he didn’t expect it. He dropped his fork and it clanged noisily on the plate. His brows pinched sharply as he stared at her in extreme shock and disbelief. It was obvious he didn’t know about that part of the story. “You met up with Ben?... Why the fuck will you meet up with him?” Heather leaned back in her seat and breathed out heavily. She looked away from him, terrible regrets assailing her doll-like features. She did say she would answer every question thrown at her, but at that moment, she looked like she wanted to pass that particular question. “Answer me, Heather!” Richard leaned forward, slamming a balled fist on the table, causing the cutleries and utensils to rattle. “Were you cheating on me with Ben?” I he

Kicked out

Chapter 123BIANCA’S POV“I don’t understand,” I grimaced in confusion. “Why would your friend kick you out?”If she ran to her friend after such an incident, it shows she trusted her and they have known each other for a long time. I didn’t see any reason to kick her out unless she did something to deserve it.She glanced at me, blinking severally to hold back her tears. She folded her lips back and kept a sad face as she was about to explain what happened to me. I leaned forward, eager to listen attentively, my hands resting on the table.“Everything was going well until she began treating me like I was a problem. A huge burden. It was probably because I wasn’t contributing to the expenses in the house. But I told her I needed some time to recover from…the shock before I could get on with my life and find a job to help her out. It got worse after her boyfriend lost his job. He couldn’t pay his house rent and had to move in with us.”She wrapped her hands around her arms as if to sha

His rightful position

Chapter 124BIANCA’S POVShe shook her head slowly and glanced away as if to avoid the question, but I pushed on naturally so as not to make it seem like I was desperate for her to leave or something like that.“You’re their only child, Heather. You might be punishing them by being apart from them for such a long time. And you never even got the chance to hear their opinion on the matter before running off. Maybe it wasn’t going to be as bad as you thought.”“I don’t think they will want her back,” Richard spoke in a low, pessimistic tone, speaking for her. “After the video spread, the school called in her parents to discuss it,” he turned to Heather. “Please don’t take it the wrong way for what I said about them not wanting you back,” he apologized and she nodded in acknowledgement.“Your parents thought I did it because they knew we were in a serious relationship already and were utterly disappointed in me. Everyone at school thought I did it, but after I figured out it was Ben and

Damage

Chapter 125BIANCA’S POV Heather sat back down and took a deep breath as if preparing to tell us something else important. Richard came to his rightful position and I wrapped my hands firmly on his under the table, not willing to let him go again. He gave me a knowing look and didn’t resist. Instead, he pressed it tighter, squeezing out a smile from me. “Along the line, I did go to visit my parents…”“You did?” Richard blurted out, his brows drawing in in surprise.“Yeah, but it didn’t go well,” she answered as if breaking a piece of bad news to him.I let out a low disappointed sigh. My hope of her going to stay with them and me not having to worry about her presence had just hit rock bottom. I just hope she won’t stay here for long. Richard and I will have to discuss that. My only hope now was to convince him to rent a house away from this part of the city for her. I pray he agrees to that.Heather looked away for a moment and sighed, as if recalling something very unpleasant. I

Can't leave her

Chapter 126RICHARD’S POVI really felt for Heather after she narrated everything she passed through – from her friend kicking her out to her parents disowning her. She was all alone now. She has been through a lot, seen a lot and witnessed so much pain. All I wanted to do was reach out and wipe away her tears, tell her everything was going to be alright and that she could count on me and B for anything she wanted, though she was trying to be modest.B has been supportive, understanding and gentle towards her, but at some points I noticed she didn’t look too happy, like when I hugged Heather, trying to comfort her, and some other times. It was like she didn’t want Heather here. Heather was my ex-girlfriend, and we didn’t really break up officially. I understood B’s worries. I understood her fears. No wife or girlfriend would appreciate it if their husband or boyfriend’s ex came from nowhere to come to stay with them, but there was no romantic attachment involved in this, so I didn’t

Distressed

Chapter 127RICHARD’S POV“Alex is awake,” B said alarmingly, rising from her seat to head for the stairs when I stopped her. “No…don’t worry, I will go get him.”“Don’t bother,” she insisted. “Finish your talk with her, I will go…”“No, I’m serious,” I pushed on, cutting her short. “I put him to bed, let me get him out of bed.”B narrowed her eyes and gave me a brief hard stare as if to see through me for a moment before finally sighing in defeat and agreeing.“Fine,” she said, walking back to her seat. “I guess Mr. Sam was right when he said you’d make a great dad.”I smiled in pride and bowed slightly as she said that. “Thank you.” Alex’s cry intensified from upstairs, prompting me to act fast. Quickly, I turned to Heather. “I will be right back. Just give me a minute or two. I promised to explain everything to you once I get back,” I said it almost like it was an apology and she nodded in understanding.Keeping the phone on the table, I rushed upstairs. Halfway to the stairs,

Telling her everything

Chapter 128RICHARD’S POV“Don’t worry I will just hold him,” I reassured her so B won’t be bothered, and Alex won’t cry any further.Sighing like she couldn’t bring herself to accept this, she went behind me to take a good look at him. After a little while, she confirmed.“He’s hungry,” and quickly made her way to the fridge in the kitchen.“Hungry?” I turned to her, not quite believing it to be true. It hasn’t been long since he ate with his dad, and his dad also mentioned they ate something before coming, so I didn’t see any reason for him to be hungry. “Yeah,” B took out the lunch pack his dad arrived with earlier, sounding sure. “But it hadn’t been long since he ate with his dad,” I said, still confused.“His dad said he’s usually very clingy and frowns a lot when he’s hungry. Right now he is clinging to you like a leech and if I don’t fix that frown soon, he’ll look ancient by the time he’s a teenager, and no girl will want him. So yeah, he’s hungry.”I shrugged, accepting th

What did he feed me with?

CHAPTER 129RICHARD'S POV"How so?” I asked with intense curiosity on how she managed to get the password to the phone.“I didn’t do much,” she said. “In fact, I didn’t do anything. There is this hacker boy who lives close to my friend’s house. He said I was pretty and took a couple of bucks from me to unlock the phone. Then I reset it with my password, “Hay,” she said and grinned like she was a genius.“Oh…okay,” I muttered as I fed Ben a sliced apple from his food.“If Mr. Sam manages to handle his part of the plan well, we will need your full cooperation,” I emphasized, looking directly at Heather.“How so?” She leaned in, her brows drawing in sharply with a mix of intrigue, concern and bafflement.“You should be ready to give a statement and testify against him when called upon. Can you do that?” I asked her gently, both B and I looking at her expectantly.She thought for a bit before letting out a deep sigh and nodding. “Yes…I can do it.”“Are you sure you can do it?” B asked in

Reviving him

Chapter 130RICHARD’S POVI can’t believe Richard skipped mentioning to me that his dad never liked Heather. I wondered why his dad wouldn’t like her. She seemed pretty likeable, like a kitten, and who doesn’t like a kitten? From her attitude, I could tell she was probably the teacher’s pet in school.If Richard’s dad hated her, that meant she did something or possessed a particular character he didn’t approve of. And Richard just might not be aware. Which is the more reason I need to find out. Perhaps she is not the likeable kitten she pretends to be. Maybe she is a lying snake, a sly fox who is deceiving Richard by appearing all pitiful and stuff.Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying everything she has been through was a lie. I just feel there is something rather shady about her. She is wearing a mask and hiding her true identity. And people like that can be dangerous. People like Ben that strikes when one least expects. They should be avoided or better, dealt with. Given a taste of
