CHAPTER NINETY ONELenora's Pov:I walked towards Richard's door, I breathed heavily trying to grab some courage before pushing the door open but surprisingly the whole room was silent. Walking further into the room with my eyes scanning everywhere for Richard without any sign of him, there was not even the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Arching a brow in confusion, I noticed the room was in the exact way I left it.“Could he be in his study room?” I thought.I made my way to Richard's door but again it was empty.“You don’t need to bother yourself, he isn’t back.” I heard Yara's voice the moment I got out.I instantly squeezed my face“You lied to me along with Remo?” I squeezed my face even more without hesitation, especially at the thought of how I sprang out of the bar without looking back.“That’s the fastest way to bring you back home but I must say that was a bad choice, I mean you even took a lot of minutes to get here.” She shrugged lightly at the last phrase.“Tha

CHAPTER NINETY THREE Lenora's Pov:“I’m just trying to create a little space, it's kind of hot,” I mumbled, but that was the dumbest thing to say. It wasn’t even hot, maybe I was just the one who was.“Are you sure?” Richard asked, his long lashes fluttering up and down.I stared deeply into his eyes, which drew me even closer to him. I didn't know when I leaned closer to him and kissed his lips that I realized I craved him more than anything in the world at that moment. Grabbing the back of his head, I pulled him into me and if it were possible for our atoms to join as one.When he didn't hold my waist, I felt a thousand emotions and none of them were positive. “Did he not want me? Was I forcing myself on him?” Were questions I asked myself, as I pulled out of the kiss.We both stared into each other's eyes and then I saw it, an emotion I've never seen before. Was it abhorrence? Was it repulsion? What was it?My inability to tell what he felt at that moment scared me and I stepped

CHAPTER NINETY FIVELenora's Pov:"Really? I've never noticed that.” He said leaving me speechless.“Why don’t you try seeing an Ophthalmologist?” I smirked.“I wonder who would ever marry someone as rude as you.” He scoffed.“Excuse me, I’m already blessed, more like cursed with a man,” I said, trying to shove my ring finger at his face but for a minute, I forgot Yara had already pulled my ring from my finger on my way to the pool.Richard chuckled and I frowned at him. I watched him dive into the water.“Get in.” He ordered.Richard is the worst teacher I have ever seen. I mean who orders someone who has a phobia of large bodies of water to get in?“Are you sure you're ready to learn?” He asked, shaking off water from his hair.“Excuse you, you forced me here, it's not the other way round.” I rolled my eyes slightly.“Be grateful, I’m willing to teach you.” He said, paddling in the water.“Why are you teaching me by the way?” “For security purposes, I can’t watch you nearly die f

CHAPTER NINETY SEVENLenora's Pov: I linked arms with Neil and I walked into the hall with him.My eyes scanned through the big hall that was filled with a lot of people clad in different dresses. My heart raced at the thought of running into Richard, the thought of him seeing me linking arms with another man made my feet freeze.“You two are finally here.” I heard a voice that brought me back to reality.“Zoe!” I exclaimed with a big smile on my face.“How long has it been? Three years? Four years?” She said with a smile on her face and opened her arms for an embrace.I instantly let go of Neil and ran into her arms, it had been a long time since I saw her. I felt her warmth and sniffed in her nice cologne.“I was really happy when Neil told me you will be coming with him.” She said as we pulled out of the hug.“I was surprised when I heard you are finally getting married to Mathew, I mean you guys always fought back then in college,” I said with a smile as the memory came back rush

CHAPTER NINETY NINELenora's Pov:My heart raced at the sight of Richard standing in the hall. I stood up instinctively, “R-Richard, what are you doing here?” I stuttered the moment he began to approach us.I mean he didn’t even have an invitation card, and Zoe had made sure it was by invite only. What I was expecting? He is afterall, who he is. He probably would've used his connection.Neil stood up as well, dusting dust off invisible dirt off his pants. “Hello again, Mr. Osvaldo.” Neil greeted but Richard ignored him and wrapped his arm around my waist, possessively. My heart raced at different possibilities, was I in trouble? I didn't let him know where I was going, how on earth did he find me?“Neil, was it?” Richard finally spoke, his usual expression of indifference sitting on his face. “If you are done, then I would love to take my wife away.” He said, pulling me even closer to himself.It was quite uncomfortable, especially with the kind of conservation I just had Neil, by ch
