After she was dumped by her fiance just when they were about to wed, Bianca's parents decided to arrange for her to be married to Richard Smith, the Alpha's only son, believing it was the best thing for her. But she doesn't want this; going into something as big as marriage with someone she hadn't even seen before. To make matters worse, she learns he is a famous playboy who didn't sleep with the same girl twice. Rage filled her and she ended up in a nightclub. Under the influence of alcohol, she ends up having a passionate one-night stand with a very hot stranger who saved her from being taken advantage of that night. She thought it was just a one-night stand and it would be forgotten, but what if a twist of fate reveals that the hot stranger is none other than the famous playboy, her future husband, Richard Smith?
View MoreChapter 144BIANCA’S POVI pulled away from Richard’s lips and squeezed his nose playfully. Turning, I saw Heather standing not so far from the table blinking at us like an underage trying to process what she just saw.“Morning sleepyhead, you finally woke up,” I walked over to her and gave her a quick unexpected hug. She didn’t hug back. Probably because she was too shocked I just hugged her and was trying to process and recover from it. “Morning Hay,” Richard subtly raised his brows at her and offered a smile. He had already started eating and had gone almost halfway with it.That seemed to snap Heather out of the sudden unexplainable shock she was in as she forced back a smile. “Don’t just stand like stature, sit down,” I pulled out her chair from the table and helped her sit on it before bringing her breakfast in front of her. “Pancakes topped with berries, bananas, cooked apples and whipped cream. Hope you like it?”She nodded, beaming a toothless smile. I smiled back and rubb
Chapter 143BIANCA’S POVRichard didn’t come back to bed last night. But I tried not to panic or think of the worst-case scenario as I made breakfast. Last night, he said a lot of things before leaving that got me thinking all through the night.I needed to amend my attitude especially my insecurity and tendency to jump to conclusions. I can’t keep living like this. I will lose everything I cherish if I continue like this. Lots of people have complained about it including Nina. I have promised to change before but never followed through. Today, I’m really committed to making a positive change in myself.“Please understand B. This is a very vulnerable time for her. The least we can do is support her and support ourselves too in this fight against Ben. We shouldn’t be fighting each other at such a critical time. Remember we are a team. We take on everything together. I love you, and I will never stop loving you. I haven’t forgotten the reassurance I gave you two days back, but if it’s
CHAPTER 142HEATHER’S POVHis expression had on alarm. I adjusted on the bed and tried to ask him what the problem was when he spoke first.“Did you raise your voice at B and push her while she was carrying Alex when I was having that allergy attack?” From the way he said that it was obvious he was angry and hurt by it.My mouth fell open. That bitch is a snitch. She already ratted me out. I knew it. I knew she would try to sabotage me. I wonder how bad she made it seem that made Richard look so hurt and angry.I sprung up from bed. “Richard, it’s not what you think, okay? None of it was intentional…”He glanced away, jaw tightened as if to hold back the feeling surging inside him.“Okay…I will explain everything to you,” I blew a heavy breath, hoping he’d buy this story I was about to tell him because if he didn’t, then I would be doomed. “I just arrived, Richard. It hasn’t even been longer than twenty-four hours I saw you after all these years apart. You were dying right before me.
Chapter 141HEATHER’S POVI knew he will find it hard to believe because she was his wife and all that love and trust shit. But I continued, determined to make him see that his wife was nothing but a phoney. A lying snake and sly fox.“Haven’t you seen the way she keeps her face whenever you talk or get close to me? I came back without any belongings so I have no clothes or accessories or skin products. This nightgown I’m wearing is hers too. I know she said it’s okay for me to wear her clothes and use her stuff, but deep down I can tell she’s not happy about it.”Richard looked away, keeping a serious expression as if in deep thought. But traces of doubts lingered in his eyes despite his attempt to appear composed.“Sooner or later, she is going to believe that I’m going to be a major problem in your marriage and will convince you to send me away,” I whined, pretending to be sad. “She might even start doing things to ruin me or make me look bad in front of you just to prove I’m a pr
Chapter 140HEATHER’S POV“Ohhh….no,” he said almost too quickly, offering a nervous smile and shaking his head like it was a forbidden thing to do. “I’m sorry, but can’t stay in bed with you. This place is better. And it’s your bed now. Remember you roll around a lot. You need all the space you can get so enjoy it to the fullest.”I knew the real reason he didn’t want to stay in the same bed with me. It wasn’t all these silly excuses he was coming up with. It was because of her. Nothing else.“The bed is big enough for two,” I insisted in a low protest, not wanting to sound desperate so he wouldn’t raise a brow. “I don’t roll around anymore, and I want you closer to me just in case I need physical touch to help me get through the night.”I felt good whenever he was around me. Like really good. I wanted him close to me every day, every hour, every minute and every second. I wanted to feel the safety and warmth that came with the hardness of his body. That’s all I’m asking for. Surely
Chapter 139HEATHER’S POV Richard sighed, momentarily looking at me and the door as if he was unable to come up with a decision. I planned to get him to stay in this room with me not only for this night, but every night, and not return to sleep with his wife.Right now they didn’t have a baby, and I prayed they don’t have one at all. I hoped they didn’t have plans of making one till I could finally take him back because babies were like little monsters that always complicated everything. If B ends up having one, it will be hard for Richard to let her go, knowing they have built something living together, and that will bind them forever. Not to talk of what his father might say. He will only make things worse.No doubt it will be hard convincing Richard to stay with me every night with his wife breathing on his neck like a stubborn bitch dog. But I have to try. Richard can be vulnerable, and coupled with the pity he felt for me, I could always get my way around him. The only problem
Chapter 137HEATHER’S POVRichard lied to me. I knew his marriage to that bitch was arranged by none other than his dad. Because of his father and the stupid decisions he always makes for him, I’ll have to waste my precious time planning on how to get rid of that bitch. The time I was meant to be spending with Richard – planning our wedding which will be the grandest in the city or picking out our honeymoon location.Honestly, I didn’t get how an arranged marriage could have led to him falling in so much love with her within the space of just a month. Usually, people in that situation would be upset and trying to figure shit out or something like that since they were total strangers and didn’t consent to the marriage?I have just been in this apartment for a day, but the way they talk about each other and look at each other makes it seem like they have known each other for a long time before finally getting married.I had to play smart, and not make it too obvious that I hated her an
CHAPTER 137HEATHER'S POVI knew that if there were any chances of me marrying Richard in future and immersing myself in all that attention, wealth and luxury that came with it, then I had to win his father over. I worked my butt off and did things I never thought I’ll do to please his father, but no matter what I did, his father never seemed to approve or acknowledge my efforts. He was like a thousand sheets of iron that couldn’t be penetrated no matter, such a strict and difficult person to please. I hated him. He was the reason all these happened in the first place. Minutes ago when Richard mentioned he was sick, I was happy to hear that. I just hoped he died as quickly as possible, and if there is anything I can do to quicken the death process, I will gladly do it without hesitation. Since his dad would never acknowledge my efforts, I decided to use another tactic. And that was when the video and disappearance idea crossed my mind. I talked to his best friend, Ben to help me bec
Chapter 136HEATHER’S POVIf Richard thinks that I’m going to forget him. Forget everything we have built and shared over these past few years and move on, then he was dead wrong. He was mine and mine alone. I love him with all my heart, body and soul and won’t share him with anyone. I won’t let anyone take him from me. Not even that pathetic bitch that calls herself his wife.She thinks she has him all to herself now, but by the time I’m done mopping the floor with her stupid ass, she’ll be begging Richard to let her go. I can’t stand the sight of her, of him touching her, talking to her and saying all the sweet things he should be saying to me or even the sight of him staying in the same room with her.Each time I remember how she flaunted that wedding ring in my face, I resist the urge to grab a kitchen knife and chop off all her fingers, let’s see how she manages to live the rest of her pathetic life without them. But not to worry, sooner or later, that ring will be leaving her
