Married By Chance: Bullied By My Knight Chapter 41: Promise
A warm smile found its way across Ria's face as she stared at her freshly done nails, watching intently as the gloss caught the sunlight streaming into the sitting room of Charles' mansion. The atmosphere around her was light and comforting, and she felt a deep sense of peace, and her anxiety washed away— a rare feeling she clung to whenever she visited.For a moment it just felt like the joy she had always dreamt of feeling was finally hers, but it was just for a moment. When she remembered that she would still go back to the hatred of Adrian, it made her stomach sour. But for now, there was peace.Mr. Blake sat across the room, his friendly demeanor enveloping the room and creating a deeper sense of belonging for Ria.He chuckled heartily as he told Ria a story from his youth, his deep voice filling the room like a familiar old song."And then," he said, grinning mischievously, "I realized I had been trying to impress the wrong lady the whole night! The woman I thought was the may

Ria groggily woke to the continuous calling from Adrian. His voice wasn't harsh, and his hand against her skin was so soft and tender. He had never treated her this nicely before. He'd prefer to yell her out of sleep if there was something important she needed to know, or just wait until her alarm wakes her up.But that wasn't the case today. He woke her up gently, giving her a warm kiss on her forehead. Ria's eyes fluttered open, and her first gaze was Adrian's warm smile.Startled she shifted back in fright. "Woah... I hope I didn't startle you?" Adrian asked, his voice filled with concern.A dream?No... It looked too real to be a dream. However, it looked too real to be reality.What was happening?"Did you hit your head somewhere?" Ria asked, her voice still a bit raspy from sleep.Adrian chuckled. "No silly. I'm perfectly fine, why would you ask that?"Ria's gaze was enough to tell him that his actions were weird and she never expected him to be this nice to her."Oh, you mean

Gasp!Ria's eyes fluttered open, and her eyes scanned the room. "A dream?"She got up and hurried down to the living room to meet Adrian having his breakfast as usual. Adrian was very mindful of his health and physique, so he had a strict daily routine to help him maintain his good looks and chiseled features.Ria stared at Adrian intently, waiting for his expression, which would let her know if it was all a dream or if it was reality.Feeling her unnerving gaze, Adrian sluggishly turned to her, his expression the usual— cold and stern."What do you want?" He muttered. "If you plan on killing me with your love speech then you might as well go back to bed. I'm really not in the mood for an argument today."Ria sighed. It was all a dream. She should have known it was a dream from the first instance. Why would Adrian fall in love with her all of a sudden? At this point, she was beginning to doubt if he would still love her when he found out she was his real Cinderella."I'm sorry... Good

“Ria, darling, I’ve missed you!” Olivia said, a fake smile spreading across her face, her voice sickeningly sweet. "I mean I couldn't stop thinking about when we last bonded as sisters.""I wonder why?" Ria said, glaring at Olivia.Olivia knew too well she was the reason she and Ria didn't get along so well, and she wasn't bothered about it. Everything was just a charade to make Adrian love her more."Don't tell me you still remember that small accident the day we went for a picnic. I already apologized, haven't I?" Olivia muttered, her innocent look nearly melting Ria's heart — almost."No... I've seen this trick before. I wouldn't let you fool me twice," Ria said sternly, her voice low.Olivia chuckled, then smiled mischievously. "Well, that's a bit hurtful, isn't it? You've already stereotyped me. We all know I'm not the bad person here, right?"Ria’s eyes narrowed. “What do you want, Olivia?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady, though her hands trembled slightly. "You can'

Adrian and Olivia continued their passionate time together in Adrian's room, leaving Ria to battle with her thoughts. The pain weighed heavily on her chest, and she held back tears.Olivia never ceased to use that one time she saved her life against her. That could have been the reason she did it, because she knew that one day it would come in handy for her deceptive tricks."But... Why?" Ria muttered. "I've been a good sister to her all my life. She was my best friend, and I was willing to give up whatever I had for her.”No.I practically gave up everything I had for her. Ever since she came along with her mother, I became completely irrelevant and invisible to my family. My father never wanted to see me, Everyone's major concern was Olivia." "Everyone cared about Olivia. She was the name in their lips, and even when I'll get hurt, they wouldn't care until it was serious, but even then, Olivia had to be the one to tell them to treat me. We were the perfect dynamic duo... But now,

Adrian stepped closer, his face filled with anger. “Ria, I—”Before he could finish, Ria’s phone rang, cutting through the tension. She glanced at the screen and saw a familiar name, but before she could answer, Adrian snatched her phone and smashed it against the hard tiles."You don't have the privilege to answer calls when I'm talking to you." He sneered. "Now listen to me closely Ria. I'm the head of this house, and only my decision stands, if I wanted you to sleep in the rain, you do it without asking any questions."Ria raised an eyebrow, clearly shocked by Adrian's new outburst. What had Olivia told him? What did she do that made Adrian this furious towards her? Yes he hated her, but this was becoming more cruel than his usual state, more unimaginably wicked."Oh and... One more thing." Adrian continued. "Don't ever think of yourself as my wife else that would be the last thing you'll think about. You are nothing before me... Or maybe you are something— a disposable piece of wa

A few days had passed since Ria became a maid in her matrimonial home, and everyone would have expected her to get used to the chores like Adrian said, but no, she was becoming more tired of them each day, and Adrian wasn't doing anything to help. He didn't care about her, and even when she pleaded with him to give her a little massage on her feet to help ease her pain, he would laugh."There's no way I'm going to touch that disgusting body of yours." He would say.Ria could feel her world crumble before her, but thankfully, things weren't going that bad. She hadn't seen Olivia in days and that alone was enough reason to give thanks. Olivia would have been a real thorn in her flesh when she figured out that she was now a maid.Well... Speak of the devil.As Ria began her forced morning routine, she heard a knock on the door, but this time, it wasn't just the regular Olivia; she was accompanied by her mother, Ria's stepmother.The hurtful fact that she was the one who opened the door f

Ria worked at her fastest, tripping several times while going at it. She was careful enough not to fall or sustain any injuries, but she was in a hell of a pain. Coupled with the fatigue that drenched her."Oh, Ria... I do hope you can forgive me.” Every muscle in Ria's body tensed as Olivia's voice suddenly turned soft. “It was a mistake, I really didn't mean to spill my meal all over the place. It's just that I enjoy walking while eating, so I ended up spilling food all over the place.” Olivia pouted moving closer to Ria. Ria swallowed hard. Her grip on the cleaning brush tightened.“I didn't consider it would be difficult cleaning this big place but looking at your fatigued self, I really feel bad for my actions," Olivia muttered, faking a sincere face.Ria rolled her eyes seething in anger. She knew it was all fake, but she couldn't do anything; any word she said would only be used against her.Olivia had her way of making her look like a bad person. "It's fine, Olivia; just

“Rise and Shine Mr Charles,” Ria said, smiling as she drew the curtains open. The rays of the morning sun reflected into the room, making Charles blink.Ria turned to look at him and smiled. “I know, I know... you don’t like the early morning sun.But just a little morning light is good for you. Don’t worry, I’ll close it back soon.”“I thought you might enjoy some sunlight today,” she added, glancing at him. “It’s a beautiful day outside. Not too hot, not too cold. Just the kind you used to say was perfect for gardening.”Ria walked to his bedside, adjusting the blanket covering his body. “Hope you had a good night's rest? Your grandchild said I should ask you that.” Ria chuckled, trying to crack a joke.She picked up two pillows, fluffed it up a bit and adjusted it on his back, making Charles sit up. Then she moved about the room—tidying a few things, picking up a glass cup from the bedside table, and arranging the few books on the shelf.“You know your grandchild didn't let me sleep

Ria blinked, clearly not expecting the question. She slowly turned her eyes to Adrian, expecting him to speak up for her. But Adrian didn’t say anything. He didn’t even look at her. His face was void of any expression. He just kept his eyes on his plate, cutting his meat like he hadn’t heard anything.Ria’s throat felt dry from Adrian's silent dismissal. She swallowed before answering. “I… I was upstairs in Adrian's room"" Doing what?" Betty eyed her" Well.. well I was with Adrian on his bed.” she said in a low voice.The moment those words came out, Olivia, who had just taken a spoonful of rice, suddenly started coughing. She dropped her spoon and covered her mouth, choking on the food. Her face turned slightly red, her eyes tearing up as she struggled to breathe.Betty quickly reached for the glass of water near her and handed it to Olivia. “Easy now,” she said. “Drink water.”Olivia grabbed the glass with shaky hands and took a large gulp. She wiped her lips gently with the back

The room went silent as all heads slowly turned, following Charles' gaze.Olivia?She stood there, frozen for a moment like she didn’t expect to be looked at. Her eyes moved from one person to the other, confused by their stares.Why are they are staring at me? Olivia pondered, blinking.‘They don't know anything yet.’ She reminded herself, getting rid of the fear that had enveloped her heart and forced out an innocent smile as she approached them.Still, her chest felt tight. Her hands were starting to sweat.Why won’t he stop looking and twitching at me?“Oh my God, Mr Blake, you are back.” Olivia screamed, her voice dripping of excitement, as if she was very happy to see him. “We were all scared and worried.” she continued, her voice dropping a bit low in sadness. “I… I didn’t even know he was strong enough to return home.” She muttered, staring at Adrian and then back at Charles. “But thank God, it's good to see you home.” she smiled sweetly.Charles’ eyes didn’t leave her. They t

Olivia, stood stunned, as her gaze couldn't leave Charles. Her stomach twisted. No… No, no, this can’t be happening.He’s alive? How… how is that possible? She thought, wondering.Did he tell Adrian anything? Did he say I was the one who pushed him?Olivia shut her eyes for a moment, trying to calm her thoughts.Damn it. Why didn’t he die?Adrian pushed the wheelchair towards the entrance of the house but Charles' gaze still remained fixed on Olivia until he was completely out of sight.Olivia blinked, jolting back to reality. She shook her head quickly, as if trying to push away the fear that had crept up her spine. She swallowed hard as she backed away from the window, her hands turning cold. Taking a slow deep breath, Olivia slowly made her way to the living room, her mind racing.But how's he alive?Hope he hasn't revealed all her secrets to Adrian.?Has her cover been blown? Shit! This might be the end of her.Dread filled her heart as she quietly approached the living room.

Olivia was getting impatient and frustrated.She had been trying to convince them for a while now. Every time she suggested they go to the hospital, Ria, would said no. And worse, Betty kept listening to her.Olivia stood by the side, arms crossed as she watched Betty cry and snifle in Ria's arms like a child who had lost the world.Olivia rolled her eyes as she pondered on what to do next to convince this two idiots to head to the hospital. And it's not as if she could go alone without drawing suspicions to herself.Worse still, she couldn't find the recording pen. Did that old man still hold onto it even while dying? Olivia thought. She felt uneasy at the possibility of her cover being blown too early.She decided to try one more time. “How long are we going to sit here?” Olivia asked irritated. “Your father is at the hospital, and Adrian might need help. We should go there.”Ria glanced up at her. “Adrian asked us to stay. Let’s respect that.”Betty sniffled loudly. “Ria’s right...

Betty slumped on the cold floor after Adrian and her father left for the hospital. Her hands covered her face and her shoulders shook as she cried loudly, her voice, echoing in the quiet room.Ria knelt beside her, gently rubbing her back and whispering soothing words.“Betty, please… calm down, he’s going to be okay. Adrian’s taking care of him. I'm sure Adrian and the doctors will do everything they can to make sure that Mr Charles gets better.” Ria said, trying to comfort her, but nothing that Ria said seemed to help.But Betty just cried harder, shaking her head. “He… he just dropped! Right there… I don't know if he would be able to survive that fall, his body is already getting old.”“Let's be positive Betty, Mr. Charles will survive. He might look old, but he's very strong.”Then, out of nowhere, Olivia came rushing down the stairs. Her eyes were wide, and her voice was loud and filled with urgency.“What’s going on down here? I heard someone screaming.” Her brows furrowed as s

Olivia watched from the creek of Adrian's bedroom door as Adrian slowly made his way towards Ria, handing her the juice he had taken pride in making and then hovering over her.Every move was slow and deliberate , she tried to make out the words he was saying to Ria as his voice was too low, too soft to listen to almost like he was whispering. Her chest tightened, as confusion and jealousy settled in her heart.What was going on? What was he doing? Was this part of his father's threat? Olivia thought to herself as she watched Ria and Adrian speak to one another. Her nails dug into the wood of the doorframe. "Ahem" The sound made her soul leave her body as she turned around abruptly, her heart pounding in her chest, only to find Charles staring back at her with anger burning through his eyes"You're… you're back... Welcome" she stammered, trying to swallow the lump that had formed in her throat. "Hmmm" "Sir, it's not what you think. I can explain" she added quickly, trying to kee

Charles' phone buzzed immediately. He took a brief glance and stood up, walking out of the room and shutting the door tightly behind him."Annoying little piece of two-timing, double-crossing tramp.." Adrian cussed under his breath as he descended down the stairs, his face brewing with resentment and barely controlled anger.Betty couldn't help but stare at her brother with a teasing smirk on her face as she watched him from the living room. His usual calm demeanor seemed to have collapsed and it was amusing the way he continued speaking to himself as he approached her."What's got you so worked up? Wait, don't tell me.." Betty asked curiously with a bit of sarcasm in her voice as she immediately burst into a chain of laughter quickly understanding her brothers predicament Adrian raised his brows in irritation but chose to let it go, as he wasn't in the mood to bicker with someone especially BettyHe angrily made his way towards the kitchen and brought out a few oranges to the count

Chapter 65Olivia and Betty stood at the upstairs balcony. Olivia leaned on the rail, her arms wrapped tightly across her chest, as her eyes locked on Adrian's black car that had just pulled into the driveway.Adrian came down with a frown on his face, he walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, leaned down and picked up Ria, who's fast asleep and gently placed her on the wheelchair. Charles also stepped down from the car."Dad, I'm going to work, I will get some house keepers to assist in the house and also take care of Ria," Adrian said.Charles raised his brow. "What house keepers? Didn't you say you don't need them? Wasn't that the reason why Ria was doing all the house chores meant for 5 people and now see her condition and how fragile she is.""So what are you trying to say father? Adrian asked, looking up at Charles Charles crossed his arms. "Well since you allowed Ria to do all those things by herself, now it's time for you to reciprocate."Adrian raised his bro
