Chapter 145BIANCA’S POVI filled Richard in on everything as I promised, leaving him quite stunned and then posted that cute selfie of us with the caption ‘WHAT’S BETTER THAN HAVING BREAKFAST WITH THAT SPECIAL PERSON BY YOUR SIDE?’It was the best caption I could come up with and it was cute and romantic. I used a few hashtags that Nina suggested for me and first sent it to her for her opinion before posting. She liked it. She said it was cute and simple, but I should think of something bigger in our next post. I was still trying to get a hang of all this. I didn’t know what she meant by ‘bigger’.“Seriously how do you do it?” I asked Richard, looking at him keenly as I took tiny bites of fruit from my plate. “In all my time staying with you, I haven’t seen you talk about social media or even take pictures or enter online, yet you are always trending without trying. Just how do you do it?”There was just one pancake remaining on his plate. He chugged it down his throat in one go and
CHAPTER 146BIANCA’S POVI didn’t understand why Richard would make such a decision without letting me know about it. Maybe this was what kept them up all night or they even decided on it the first day she arrived. I wasn’t against him taking her out or things like that, but he should have told me first and asked me if I was okay with it before carrying on. As it stands now, Heather was in no position to leave the apartment. I thought Richard knew better. She just arrived yesterday and still needed time to recover from her trauma and revitalize.“We are going shopping,” Heather said. I turned to look at her. She was jollying like a child, emerald eyes gleaming as she looked like she was enjoying this. “No…no….no,” Richard uttered, drawing back my attention. He face-palmed and laughed, his entire body vibrating along as though this was some kind of joke to him.I crossed my arms against my chest and kept a hardened look. Whatever trick they were playing, I didn’t like it. I needed h
Chapter 147BIANCA’S POV Just to make sure we had an awesome experience, I decided to take Heather to the largest shopping mall in the city for the shopping - AllYour Needs shopping mall. The mall was a colossal maze of glass and steel towering over the city skyline like a modern-day castle. It was a bustling hub of activity. You can hardly pass by in some sections without a part of your body coming in contact with another person or seeing someone you know. It drew crowds from far and near the city with multiple levels of shops, restaurants, and sections offering its own slice of endless entertainment and retail therapy. “I know you and I started on the wrong foot,” I said to Heather as we navigated the inside of the mall. I scratched the back of my neck, nervous as I continued with what I was saying. “I might have been too hard on you. I made you feel bad and unwelcomed and less of yourself, made it feel like I was in a better position than you…thought your presence in the apartme
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
