AUDREY

My hands clutched tightly to the ICU bed where Richard lay motionless. The metallic stench of antibiotics filled the entire room, accompanied by the heart monitor as it beeped in sync with my throbbing chest.

I took a deep, long breath, my eyes locked to his face, but my mind was racing with thousands of thoughts.

These past three months have been a complete nightmare. My head ached, and my heart bled in distress, but I couldn't show it; I’d vowed not to shed another tear—ever!

At that moment, Richard's right hand moved slightly, almost unnoticed. My eyes fell on them instantly, staring with precision until they moved a second time.

“Richard?” I whispered as I sprang up my feet and sat beside him, my hand caressing his face. “Richard, can you hear me?”

Richard's eyelids fluttered as he let out a sharp groan, then he turned his head toward me, his eyes opening.

“Audrey?” he murmured, lifting his left hand gently and placing them on mine. “You're here.”

“I am.” I chuckled as a

  • He Cheated, So I Bought A Husband    CHAPTER 42: What was never ours

    AUDREY My chest tightened as I sat down beside him on his bed, glaring at the walls with a half smile.“You know as couples, we're supposed to be sleeping in the same room, right?” I said in a soft yet sarcastic tone.Richard slid his hands into his pockets as he smiled. “Yeah,” he replied. “Unfortunately, we're not really a couple.”The face dimmed that moment as I forced a chuckle. “Yeah…”Then Richard approached me but he didn't sit. His gaze was calm and calculating as if he was studying me.“You said you wanted to speak to me. I'm listening.” He said.“No, you go first,” I replied with a faint giggle. “What did you want to tell me?”Richard's lips curled upwards. “No, I insist,” he said persistently, “ladies first, remember?”But I wasn't giving in. At that moment I stood up and held his hands tightly, staring into his eyes. “Richard… What did you want to tell me?”Richard paused as he narrowed his eyes slightly. “Fine,” he breathed, sagging his shoulders.‘Oh God, what does he

  • He Cheated, So I Bought A Husband    CHAPTER 41: Love wasn't part of the agreement

    AUDREY My head ached slightly as I massaged it with my palm, sending a sharp pain lancing through my skull.My left grip tightened around my lap as I let out a sharp squeal. At that moment, someone knocked on my door twice before opening it—Vickie.“You wanted to see me,” she said as she closed the door gently before approaching me. “What's wrong?”I turned to her with a fake smile on my lips. “It's nothing… just a mild headache.”Vickie placed her right palm on my neck as her eyes studied my mood. “Your temperature is normal,” she said. “I think you're stressed.”My shoulders fell as I heaved a deep sigh of anguish. “Vickie, I couldn't sleep all night.” I whimpered. “I don't think I'm well.”Vickie adjusted her position as she shifted toward me, placing her hands gently on mine. “You can trust me, Audrey,” she said. I sighed, lifting my eyes to hers. “Richard and I fought. He said I should let Kevin and Claire get married.”Vickie's eyes narrowed. “Why would he say that?” Vickie as

    AUDREY My gaze narrowed as I crossed my arms at that moment. Richard's stare froze the moment he saw me, shocked.Then I took a step toward him, gaze trailing with a mixture of shock and suspicion as it switched between them.“Richard,” I muttered as I raised an eyebrow, “What is going on here?”“Nothing,” Richard replied with a half smile. “I asked Vickie to show me around the mansion.”My eyes narrowed even more. “You've been here for quite a while now,” I replied, shaking my head slightly as I stared at Vickie. “I thought you’d be familiar with the mansion by now.”Richard smiled. “Well, it is a huge mansion,” he said “And besides, I spent quite some time in the hospital… twice.”My lips instantly curled downwards that moment. I heaved a sigh of distress as my chest ached.“I'm… sorry.” I whimpered, forcing a smile at him.Richard then approached me and held my hand as he stared into my sad eyes.“Hey,” he whispered as I looked up. “I never said it was your fault. I'm sorry.”At t

    RICHARD The door crept open quietly as Vickie and I walked inside, glancing every second in case.Vickie clutched my arm tightly as she walked behind me, shimmering in fear.“Richard… I don't know if this is a good idea—” She whispered, pushing the door quietly to close it.“We'll be fine,” I replied, less bothered. “Mr Sinclair won't come back anytime soon.”“It's not just him…” she replied as I went straight to all the drawers to open them. Vickie let out a weak sigh as she watched me while I searched through every single file I touched. Then she approached me.“This is the third room I've shown you and you haven't found anything yet.”“Yet…” I replied, giving her a hopeful smirk but that moment, she took hold of my right wrist, causing me to pause.“What if someone else sees us?” She whispered, “Maybe a maid or Claire… or even Audrey.”“No one's gonna know,” I said as I placed my hand on hers as I assured her. “I promise, you're not going to get into any trouble.” Instantly, Vic

  • He Cheated, So I Bought A Husband    CHAPTER 38: The search

    RICHARD I stood still behind the pillar upstairs, watching closely as the maids cleared the table. Dominic and Kevin had left immediately after the Thanksgiving dinner, alongside his friends, whom he had invited.“Now's my chance,” I mused out loud before turning in the direction of Audrey's room. She hadn't said a single word to me since she went to confront Dominic about Kevin's intention to marry Claire.She had locked her door from the inside, a sign that she didn't want to be disturbed… perfect timing!Slowly, I crept past her room and headed for Dominic's room, eyes glancing back to make sure no one was watching.Slowly, I unlocked the door and the moment I entered his room, I went straight to his file drawers.“Francine… Come on, where are you?” I mused out loud as I navigated through the files, trailing my eyes down every writing and pictures on every page.Pissed because I couldn't find anything, I tossed the files carelessly aside and I opened another file.“Come on…” I mut

  • He Cheated, So I Bought A Husband    CHAPTER 37: Trust and tension

    AUDREY My dad's eyes narrowed with curiosity as I batted my thoughts. “Audrey,” he called out, hand clicking on his glass as he was about to take a sip. “Are you okay?”My eyes began to strain as I kept shifting my gaze from Kevin to Claire and back, repeatedly, unaware that my dad was speaking to me.Claire bit her lower lip seductively as she clutched Kevin's arm tightly while still staring at me. She looked completely unfazed by my reaction, and so did Kevin, confirming my theory that they were planning something less stupid but more sinister.“Audrey!” My dad called again as his voice rose sharply, causing me to flinch hard. “What's wrong with you?”My gaze turned to him, eyes wide open as I forced a smile. “Nothing,” I said, before turning to Claire. “I'm really happy for you, Claire.”The seconds that followed were a long, awkward silence that felt like eternity. I was so shocked that I felt my skin melting into my seat in embarrassment.Then I turned to Richard who was also s
