Chapter 148BIANCA’S POV“What’s the problem?” Heather asked, noticing how agitated I seemed.I let out a deep sigh, not knowing how best to explain it to her. I can’t believe this jerk, Dylan was still out fooling around with innocent women who didn’t know what a feckless and irresponsible jerk he was.I thought he learnt his lesson after the embarrassment I and the girl he was with gave him that day at the bridal shop. Little did I know he’d continue flirting around, playing with innocent women’s feelings and emotions.The thought of him changing women like clothes made bile trigger my throat, and the thought of him eventually breaking their hearts and disappointing them after a long run in their relationship made my blood boil. No woman should be allowed to go through such emotional turmoil all because of him.“My douchebag of an ex-boyfriend just walked into the restaurant with another lady?!” I ground my words angrily from my tightened jaw, answering Heather while my raging gaze
CHAPTER 149BIANCA’S POVAs I made my way past the entrance door of the restaurant, something prompted me to stop. Maybe confronting Dylan wasn’t such a good idea. This wasn’t the right thing to do. I contemplated within me as I briefly closed my eyes, his exact words that day at the bridal shop invading my thoughts.“You want to know why I left you, huh?” He raised a brow angrily. “I was fucking fed up and tired of you. You’re too much to handle. You and your incessant complaints. Your parents and their stupid unrealistic expectations. I pity any man who ends up with you. Because no matter what, it’ll never work out. You and your crazy family will end up fucking it all up! So next time you see me anywhere, don’t look at me, don’t talk to me—just pretend I don’t exist anymore.”Those words hurt me deeply that day and made me feel like I was the reason for the failure of our relationship. It made me feel like I was a liability. A burden, not only to him. But to Richard as well as we e
CHAPTER 150 BIANCA’S POV With the number of followers I had now, I was pretty sure that the post would go viral. At least people will know Dylan for who he really is, and avoid him. Or if possible, do something that will make him regret and pay dearly for his actions. I believe this is the best way to go about this matter instead of just confronting him without him learning his lesson. I added “Repost massively” in the comments section since I forgot to put it in the post. I returned to my home screen after that. In a few minutes, it will blow up. I know it will. Switching off my phone, I put it inside my purse and headed to the spot Heather and I were before I left. She must be waiting for me. I have wasted a lot of time already. I hope she won’t be angry about that. Approaching, I couldn’t see Heather or our shopping bags anywhere. Where could she have gone? Did I take so much time she couldn’t wait for me any longer? Trying not to worry, I decided to wait for her. She must hav
Chapter 151 BIANCA’S POV I waited for Richard outside the shopping mall. In less than fifteen minutes, I saw him drive into the mall’s vicinity and the parking lot. He turned off the ignition and locked the car before loping towards me. “B,” he called out as he approached. I swallowed a lump that formed in my throat, looking like a child who didn’t know how to go about explaining to her parents about something bad she did. But this wasn’t my fault. I never wanted to go into that restaurant and face Dylan. Heather had convinced me and I listened to her. Little did I know it would be to my detriment. What do I say to Richard now? Surely, I can’t tell him I lost her because I went to face my ex-boyfriend. He will go ballistic. I know he will. I can testify from what happened with him and David in our wedding, and since Dylan was nowhere to be found, Richard would probably take out all that anger on me. I can’t affor
CHAPTER 152BIANCA’S POV“Well let’s go report to them,” Richard said and started making his way past me into the mall.I wanted to follow him, but as I turned, a sharp pain stung me like an electric shock on my feet, causing me to fall abruptly on the floor.“Ahhh….” I cried out in pain as I came in contact with the floor. Richard on seeing this, rushed to me in alarm.“What’s the problem?”“My feet…,” I stuttered, cradling my feet and grimacing in pain. “I have been standing and walking on these heels for a long time, and now my feet hurt.”People around surrounded me, and I felt ashamed for whining and crying like a baby at that moment, but I couldn’t help it. The pain was so intense I wasn’t sure I would be able to walk for the next hour or more.Richard raised a brow, giving me a look that kind of suggested he wasn’t fully convinced. Like he thought I was putting on an act or something so I won’t help him go in search of Heather.I wished he wouldn’t think that way. My feet hur
CHAPTER 153 BIANCA’S POV Throughout our ride back to the apartment, Richard didn’t talk to me again. He didn’t even spare me a glance. He was all focused on the road. I was worried. Even though I tried to shake off that feeling, I couldn’t. I couldn’t help but keep thinking he blamed me for Heather’s disappearance, and somehow thought I did it on purpose to rid of her. Richard knew me too well. I’ll never do something like that. I couldn’t even bring myself to tell him that Ben might be the one responsible. Maybe Heather might have seen him while I left and got frightened. But I wasn’t far from her. She could have easily called for my attention if she had seen him. She didn’t have to run off like that and leave Richard and me in such a difficult situation. At that moment, I regretted going into that restaurant and wasting time on seeing Dylan. I didn’t want to but Heather made me. Though my plan to take Dylan down was working perfectly, it had cost me dearly. Pretty sure
Chapter 154RICHARD’S POVAt this point, I was fed up. I didn’t know what to believe again. I wanted to believe everything B said. I really do. But the circumstances surrounding the situation were making me think otherwise.For this once I entrusted Heather to her care hoping that would help them get along since B didn’t really like her much. I wanted them to get to know each other more so there wouldn’t be any future issues while Heather stayed with us, but it only resulted in this. To Heather missing. Again.Last night, B was bent on us renting an apartment for her in a further part of the city, and sending her over there. I revolted against the idea because that wasn’t the right thing to do for Heather’s well-being. Then this morning, I noticed her strange new character. She was suddenly okay with Heather staying. Okay with…everything.I won’t deny I liked the B’s sudden change in character that morning. It was a baby step towards creating a cordial relationship between her and He
CHAPTER 155RICHARD’S POVB’s gaze and shoulders slumped in disappointment as I went out and closed the door of our room. I would have helped massage her feet, but that will only waste time. I needed to find where Heather was first. It was evening. In the blink of an eye, night will take over, and there is no way I’m going to sit back and watch that happen without finding Heather. My conscience will rip me to shreds.What if she was in the dangerous part of the city inhabited by criminals and gangs and all sorts of bad people? What if she was lost? It’s been a long she’d been in this city so I doubt she knew her way around. And she hasn’t even been to this part of the city before. I held back the urge to panic. This is bad. Very bad.If anything happens to her, I won’t remain the same! I won’t forgive myself for it. And if I find out B or Ben was responsible…. If it’s Ben, I will kill him with my bare hands, notwithstanding anything! If it’s B, I will feel betrayed, and have a very
