A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 106
As I stood before him, my eyes searching for answers, I could not help but feel a deep sense of hurt and confusion. "Why should I sleep in the guest room, Adrian?" I asked him, trying to raise my voice with an amalgamation of emotions, marshaling up the courage to confront him.I walked up to him, placing my hands on his shoulders with a gentle touch, hoping that this would strike a chord and bring about a sense of closeness.Instead, what met me was a cold tone that cut across, slicing into the air: "Jenny, just leave me alone, just go," Adrian suddenly yelled in an almost deafening voice. His voice sent shock through my open eyes as if to question or ask what all was happening at this very important moment.I stepped back, my hands dropping to my sides as if stinging just had started radiating from my heart.I stepped backward, my hands falling to my sides as a stinging sensation began to emanate from my heart."Adrian, I've stayed with you in our matrimonial bed," I said, trying to

The firmness in his voice threw me; he had never spoken with me this way. Really caught off guard, for a moment there, I had just stood fixed, frozen with shock and unsure of what exactly to do next. Maybe, I thought quickly, he was having a bad day. He must be under stress or somehow overwhelmed.Slowly, my feet turned and began to walk away, leaving Adrian to his loneliness. My heart was heavy as I made my way to the guest room, my feet moving of their own accord while my brain tried to take in all that had just occurred.As the door shut behind me, a pang hit my heart from sadness and disappointment. I knew Adrian and I could pull through, were sure that eventually we would make it through everything and come back even stronger than before.But as I stood all by myself in the guest room, I wondered if that had been a pipe dream. I breathed in and let my gaze travel around the room, attempting to still the tempests inside.I just pray that tomorrow he will be fine, I said to myself-

I waited for a moment, my ears straining to catch any sound from within the room, but a deadly silence was oppressive, a living force that seemed to push me away.Immediately, the voice of Adrian reached my dining room with low, profound overtones as if speaking with somebody. Probably having his meal, I told myself while taking steps toward him in the dining room, managing to push out this awful feeling stuck in my soul.As I walked, my mind replayed the scenes of the night before: the fight, the harsh words exchanged, and the subsequent silence that had followed. I couldn't help but have this sense of regret and sorrow, knowing too well that this would probably ever be the case again.By the time I reached the dining room, Adrian was already sitting at the table talking about something with Helen, who stood beside him, her hands on her hips as she looked down at him in mingled distaste and frustration. I walked closer; my footsteps quietened on the cool floor as I approached the tab

Helen stood up beside me, holding my hands as we walked to the bed; her touch was warm and comforting. As we walked, a wave of calmness washed over me knowing full well I was in good hands with Helen.I approached the door to my bedroom and cracked it open slowly to make sure that no one was outside. Helen was right behind me, as we slipped into the room. The door clicked shut softly behind us.The room was quiet and sleeping; it was silent, with only the gentle hum of the air conditioner. I felt a wave of my relief wash over me as I stepped inside, knowing that for the first time I was really alone with Helen and could now talk to her without fear of being overheard.Helen let my hands go and moved to sit on the edge of the mattress; I followed suit, sitting beside her, the touch of our legs reassuring."Telling me all," Helen said, her voice soft, soothing, and so reassuring, turned to me and asked: "What happened? Why are you lost in such a bad way?I took a deep breath and felt a

I looked at her as the wave of skepticism hit me. "I mean, you can dress sexy, and all shall be well," Helen added, so sure of herself. An eyebrow rose with the skepticism that criss crossed my mind. That was all that easy?Helen nodded seriously."Yes, ma'am, it is worth trying," she said."You've got nothing to lose and all to gain." I sat reflectively on her words, and hope began a nascent rising inside of me. Maybe, just maybe Helen was right, maybe dressing up and taking lunch into my husband's office would just be what saves our marriage.I looked at Helen and felt so grateful to her for bringing the ray of hope to me. "But what if he refuses?", I almost whispered. The lines on Helen's face softened as her hand reached out and patted my arm."He will never turn you away, madam," she explained. "You are his wife, he loves you; these are the ill days and that is what matters." In gentle waves of words, my nodding signaled an acceptance brought forth by comfort at Helen's assuranc

While in the shower, my mind took me to Adrian-to what he used to make me feel. I thought of how he used to hold me, the way he would kiss me, and the way he would make me laugh. A pang in my heart because things were really different now between us, yet I was set to change it.Out of the shower, on went the dress. Slipping into the gown, I felt it hug my curves as gently as a warm caress. Looking in the mirror, my breath caught in my throat. I looked beautiful, and I knew Adrian would be impressed.I took a deep breath, and a wave of confidence washed over me. I was ready for Adrian, and I was ready for him to notice me. I was ready for him to love me again, and I was ready to do whatever it took to make our marriage work."Okay., ma," Helen told me, her head nodding in agreement while the spark of understanding shone in her eyes. I knew from the way she looked, serious with the intent to succeed, that a very nice dinner would be in store for Adrian and me."Do your best, please," I

Next, I reached for my perfume, this beautiful vanilla spray that always makes me feel so confident and sexy.I spritzed a little over my skin, and the sweet fragrance wafted up to meet me. I was going on a date, and I couldn't help this thrill of excitement at the idea of capturing Adrian's attention.My makeup had been on, just enhancing the eyes and the lips. The color I decided on for the lips was something bold and bright red; even against the color of the skin, it had popped.With my heels slipped on, complete with a matched handbag in color, the feeling of the true goddess rose. The heels added some element of glamour that made me just know I'd be making quite the statement as I would normally do."Today, I will hook Adrian today," I whispered to myself, while a charming smile beamed from my lips. I opened my cleavage a little with my hands and observed how this gown fitted my curves."I'm hot," I said, feeling proud of myself.Then, I stood up and began walking down the hallwa

I went to the office upbeat, buoyant, my racing heart with anticipation. I could not wait to see the scenario unfold before my eyes-to be able to eventually face Adrian and get my answers.The steps were huge, slow, and sure while I strode into Adrian's office; I felt a mission was well underway-my feet seemed not to feel or touch the floor, impelled by this almost primeval, instinctive propulsion.Upon reaching the door, I was stopped by a soft voice."Excuse me, ma", it said, and turning round, I saw a beautiful woman, fair in complexion, clad in an all-splendid red-some really pretty woman with her curly brown hair, bright smile. She looked at me with a mixture of curiosity and politeness.Who are you, please?" she asked in a soft melodic voice."And who do you look for?" She looked at me directly into my face, her eyes as if probing my brain. I felt the flutter of a bird in my chest, which I managed to still, reminding myself why I was there.I smiled confidently, self-assured."I

JENNY PIVMy screams cupped their ears with my own? I felt as though slipping off her control, being drowned in an abyss of excruciation. In an out-of-focus view, Adrian was leaning towards me in, eyes staring at me with such burning intensity of concern. His "What is going on?" sounded firm but buried in the undertones of fear, almost as though a threat to his self-control amid my torment. As if the pain refused to let me say anything, anything to his question, with the moment slowly refining into a blur.Adrian's hands held my powerless body, soothing me, but it didn't work; there was no soothing to be found. All I could feel was pain - pain so great, so consuming, so enormous. I felt like I was becoming lost, that I was passing away; that somehow losing consciousness would shield me from that horrible agony tearing through me.''Adrian's face was hardly an inch or two away from mine, and his eyes were now fixed on mine, as though filled with desperate concern. `Baby, please, what's

JENNY POVFurious banging outside sounded louder and louder as Grace wrapped her fists against the door. It was as if each strike manifested her anger physically through the evening air. "My love, please take it easy," Jenny said hardly above a whisper, turning to me and causing me concern. Concerned, Anna's eyes pleaded with mine; she seemed to search for tranquility amid a brewing storm."Adrian said to me, 'My love, I need to speak some sense into Grace'." Adrian, in his authoritative yet soothing voice, said, "Adrian said to me with a much softer voice: 'My love, I need to speak some sense into Grace.'"Not to say another word, Adrian walked toward the gate, determined and purposeful in his steps. Closely followed by me, heart banging loud in my ears, like the drums in a primitive ritual. Grace was truly filled with rage, and tension. My own simmering emotions almost boiled to the surface, ready to erupt at any moment.And again the sound of her beating grew louder; it insisted, a

CHAPTER245JENNY POVLooking at me, completely aghast, Grace's eyes widened with her smile. "Oh, yes," she said. "I have been watching you two for quite some time. I know about the little marriage you have with each other and I know how you both can drive a wedge into each other's side."Adrian's expression was like dusk, with his eyes blazing out all his pent-up wrath. "Touch her and your death will be at your door," he commanded.She chuckled gleefully, "Oh, but you have. I've been your model servant, pretending all along, just biding my time to strike and watch the disarray of your union as your history unfolds."I shivered at her words. Was this marriage truly in danger? Would Grace really fracture everything we had built together?Grace's words made me miserable with indecision. Surely, she wouldn't have done that. I looked towards Adrian to see how this would have affected him, but his face reflected no such expression- it had a strict seriousness."You will not lift a finger to
A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 244
JENNY POVWe strolled to the living room and there, illuminated by the soft glow of the lights illuminating the path from the entrance, we found Grace (or so she claimed) standing with head downcast, turning eyes to the floor in a gesture of abandonment and with shoulders slumped in an act of discomfiture. "Good day, sir and ma'am," she addressed, her whisper almost inaudible, trembling slightly as she spoke, the words formed by hardly fluttering lips."Yea, Grace," he replied in a neutral tone, without a discernible expression, right when we sat together, as I was sitting on him, arms wrapped around me while holding me to himself, a hand softly placed on my stomach. Adrian then turned to Scarlett, his eyes narrowing as he studied her with a furrowed, working overtime with his brain to decode whatever she was ruminating upon."Grace, who are you?" he asked in a commanding tone that seemed to challenge such pronouncement, laced with some measure of skepticism, his tone even dripping wi
A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 243
JENNY POVThe onset of this incident will forever remain my awakening hour, with the night still darkened. I became more aware of my surroundings, with the first thing in sight being Adrian, my husband, seated next to me with a most concerned look on his face. That dim bedside lamp light warmed him, throwing the depths of his worry into bold relief."What happened?" I pictured me demanding, but my voice was edged with confusion and alarm. Just as I attempted to rise, dizziness would encompass me, my husband's hands there to gently yet quite firmly assist me."You fell; you fainted," Adrian said. I kept on repeating it to myself in an attempt to fathom what it meant to faint. "I fainted?" I was finally able to whisper, the word now hanging in the air as if challenging my perception.He looked at me for a long moment, concerned but slightly annoyed. "Yes, love," he said gently but firmly. "I've told you to take it easy on yourself." Even as his tone reproached, his eyes showed the quick

JENNY POVMonica left my mother behind, with Grace, the maid, for services in the house. The next day, I woke as if with no energy; my body felt heavy and completely pregnant. "Honey," I called, sweet and gentle, hoping that Adrian would respond. But there was only silence. I waited for a moment expecting him to walk into the bedroom, but nothing.Sighing, I arise and manage to put all my strength into moving toward the kitchen. The instant Grace saw me walk through, she seemed to stop whatever the action was that she was engaged in and smiled, saying "Good morning, ma'am." In that voice, there was this plural, respectful and welcoming tone. I returned the gesture but instinctively put my hands on my huge tummy to rub it while feeling kicks from the baby inside. "Good morning, dear," I added just to sound a little more cheerful than I really felt.It was an exceptionally warm and inviting room that within one breath, would include coffee brewing. I found my usual place on the table an

ADRIAN POVIn the warmth of home, the weak lights of evening embraced us in lazy comfort. "Well, this is home; I was checking on Jenny," I muttered, sadly and tenderly gazing at her with concern. "No need to worry, babe. Jenny was fine," I comforted him with a smile, gently pulling him into hugs.As we moved on toward the room, the only sound from out two feet padding softly across the floor. "We need to hire a maid," I soothingly suggested, trying to approach the subject slowly. But Jenny interrupted, her voice very clear and very strong. "No, baby. I can do all the housework," she opposed right away, with a determined glint in her eyes that dared me to argue with her.My heart reeked of love and guilt towards her. I smiled sweetly and said, "No, my love-no." "You are expecting and I cannot allow you to submit yourself to doing that." Please, let me take care of this." I pleaded as I caressed her hair softly, as though that might somehow soften her resolute spirit.She regarded my w

ADRIAN POVFour hours later, the wait finally ended. Dr. Dazzy walked out of the emergency room, a mask of professionalism on his face, his eyes revealing but a sliver of concern. He called out my name, voice laden with reassuring authority like a lifeline thrown to a drowning man, "Mr...?" Suddenly his gaze shifted towards the waiting area, raking in one after the other until at last, it rested on yours truly.I jumped up, my heart racing. Oh yeah, that's me, I whispered back. "How is she? How's Jenny?" The floodgates burst open.The treatment softened the doctor's looks a bit as he nodded. "I'm with your wife now," he said, almost holding out a glimmer of hope. "Let's talk," he said, sending a gesture toward one of the waiting room's quiet corners. My heart drummed in my chest like a drummer preparing for some primitive ritual. What was he going to say? Was Jenny okay? The uncertainty was murder.I quickly marched into the doctor's office, purposeful stride like a man on a mission,
A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 239
ADRIAN POVAs we lay there, Jenny's body tensed, muscles broiling under the skin like waves about to crest. A grotesque distortion of her face came into view as her eyes were closed shut, and a strangled, guttural cry, "Hpppp!" escaped her lips, followed closely by a heartbreaking wrenching sound. This tearing sound ripped irrevocably through the very fabric of that moment. Eyes that once sparkled with humor and fun turned into tight, scrunched-up furrows of mixed terror and discomfort." And I, exhilarated, turned toward her, speaking soft, reassuring words, almost like a summer's warm, gentle breeze."What is it, baby?" I asked, leniently. Distracted by pain, Jenny barely perceived my touch as I brushed a straining hand from her forehead. In that instant, I felt an electric jolt through my fingers. Slowly, her eyes opened, and she gazed up at me- her expression blurred and hazy, breathing labored. Each rise and fall of her chest steered with ragged breaths alongside cowering flickeri
