Chapter 62 RICHARD’S POV Luckily, Linda’s nose injury wasn’t severe and something to worry about. The ENT specialist at the hospital said procedures such as closed reduction, where the bones in the nose are manipulated into place without external incisions or surgeries aren’t required. He just realigned the broken bones and cartilage back to shape skillfully with his hand, which made Linda want to scream the entire hospital building down. Then he bandaged it up, telling her it would take about a few weeks before it could heal completely. Linda didn’t want me to drop her off back at the club, rather than in her apartment. According to her, she can’t be seen in such a state. It was too embarrassing for her. That meant she’d had to be coming up with excuses to keep her away from the club till her nose healed completely. That was none of my business. As long as I have paid for everything like I said I would and tripled her pay, all that wasn’t for me to worry about. As I headed back to

Chapter 64BIANCA’S POVAbout an hour later, I reached Mr. Sam’s place, following his directions since I had never been there before. It was in the city centre and not too far away.It was a pretty simple duplex surrounded by a colourful lawn and garden. The walls had a nice light colour, and the roof had charming overhanging edges that gave the house character. Big windows let in lots of sunlight, and lively flower boxes were decorating them. The front porch was friendly and had a cute quaint swing. Overall, it was a nice and cosy home with a warm atmosphere, perfect for raising a family.I pushed the doorbell and waited. About a minute later, a brunette with freckles and large hickory eyes opened the door. She must be the nanny he told me about yesterday at the coffee shop.“Hi,” I offered a smile.“Hey,” she did the same, her freckles looking like they were multiplying.“I’m here to see Mr Sam. He’s around right?” I asked just to be sure because Mr Sam said I should come in thirty

Chapter 66BIANCA’S POVI had to wear Jessica’s clothes since they were the only women’s outfits in the house. Unfortunately, they were too casual and didn’t fit me well, as she had a larger bust, and I was taller. But I had to make do with them. I won’t be wearing them for long.After cleaning off the chocolate stain on my body, changing, and returning to the living room, Mr. Sam was already sitting at the dining table. Alex wasn’t there with him. Jessica came with me but went upstairs to give Mr. Sam and me some private time.He was checking some papers, probably the feedback Report on his investigation of Richard. I took a deep breath, preparing myself. Whether the info about him was good or bad, I needed to stay calm and not break down in front of Mr. Sam.He glanced up as I came closer, our eyes meeting. I smiled, pulled out a chair from the table, and sat in front of him. I cleared my throat a bit to shake off the nervous lump and feeling.“Where is Alex?” I asked, looking arou

Chapter 68 BIANCA’S POV I never thought Richard liked the chocolate soufflé we had for dessert at Dinnos during our dinner party, let alone it being his favourite. No wonder he devoured it like a hurried child that day, and I’m pretty sure he took some home. I couldn’t even finish mine. The issue was I didn’t know how to make it. I hadn’t tried it before, and it seemed like a tricky dish that needed very serious cooking skills. Although my mom was a caterer and could whip up various meals like they were nothing, I doubted she could handle this one. Even if she could, I didn’t want to bother her and I wanted to avoid her tricky questions. I had to steer clear of them. So, I planned to watch an online video on how to make it. That will do. It seemed easier and faster. “Are all the ingredients available?” I asked Gideon. “I would like to make one for him.” He opened the refrigerator door and scanned the contents inside, “Uhmmmm….” Then looked at me with an apologetic look and said, “

Chapter 70BIANCA’S POV“Is that what you think?” Bernard asked, still looking amused. “Good women are like diamonds now. They are fucking hard to come by. The ones available are just after the money and other things aside from true love. They don’t want something as serious and long and as boring as marriage.”I gave him a slight scolding stare. “Marriage isn’t boring,” I said - coming from someone whose marriage was in crumbles and was not as merry as she thought it would be. “Believe me when I say there are plenty of good women out there. If you think most women are just after money and things other than love, it’s because you just not looking well enough. Many women are looking for a genuine connection, to settle down with the right person. They want to love and to be loved deeply, like never before. Just keep searching, alright? You are a good man, and I’m confident you will find someone special to put a ring on her finger someday.”He stayed silent and shrugged, having no other
