🥀WIFE🥀

{Love In Contract…}

Chapter 13💎14

🥀A MYSTERIOUS MAN🥀

“Now that we’ve told that b*tch Doctor everything, we just have to wait and watch. As long as she gives Ophelia a hard time, we don't have to worry anymore. How dare she live a good life after giving us her trashy boyfriends to end up with”. Darcie hissed angrily as she walked towards her car, got in and drove off.

Daisy only stood watching her leave.

“I can't just wait till Angela ruins her. I need to act on my own, to make sure she doesn't have a better life than me”. Daisy muttered as she bit her lips troubly.

She began walking towards her own car when someone suddenly held her wrist from behind and she turned to face the person with a frown.

“Here you are, baby. You've been ignoring my calls!”. Ethan said as he pulled her towards him and Daisy in anger began struggling with him.

“I'm not your babe! Let go of me!”. Daisy screamed pushing him away and he frowned, grabbing her hair as he yanked her hard towards his car and slammed her head on the car's windshield causing her forehead and nose to bleed, as she landed on the ground, looking completely dizzy.

And Ethan in anger bent before her and grabbed her hair tight and she threw him a glare.

“Are you insane? Let go of me!”. Daisy snapped but Ethan only gripped her hair tighter as he slapped her face hard.

“I've had enough of your spoiled attitude!! You need to know that I'm ten years older than you!! You can't just use and dump me like your crippled sister did!!”. Ethan shouted and Daisy flinched puzzly.

“Ten years? You're thirty?! But you said you were twenty one!! You think I would date if I knew you were this old!! Let's call the wedding off! I'll return your engagement ring!!”. Daisy snapped and Ethan grinned loudly before suddenly slamming her head on the car again and this time blood followed and people around who were watching began screaming at him and calling the police.

And he just stood up glaring at them.

“She's my fiancé! My soon to be wife!! You've never seen me meddle in your family business before, so don't you dare mess in mine!! I'm Ethan Lugard! THE ETHAN LUGARD!!! SO f**k off people!!”. Ethan yelled at everyone before grabbing almost unconscious Daisy by the hair up on her feet.

“I don't understand anything you're saying! Aren't you in college like me?! And since when did your surname change into Lugard! You're confusing me Ethan!!”. Daisy screamed tearfully as she struggled with him but Ethan only smirked at her.

“That's because you didn't bother to know. Your only focus was snatching me away from your sister that you didn't know, whatever surname and age I told you were just my contract name. Now just be a good girl and stick to our engagement okay?”. Ethan asked, gripping her cheeks tight this time and Daisy shook her head in fright.

“No! No, I'm too young!! Help! Somebody help! He's a scammer! He's scammed me into a relationship with him!!”. Daisy screamed tearfully as she tried freeing herself from him but Ethan instead opened his car door and threw her in, then he locked the door, got into the car and zoomed off.

Gerald, after sniffing a large amount of drugs laid on his bed, with his head facing the ceiling, his drowsy eyes were opened as he smiled like one who was in paradise.

He was on only his jeans, his upper body was naked, revealing his massive tattoos, and broad pacs.

He was in the middle of fantasizing when the door opened slowly and Irene, who held a huge folded black bag, peeped in.

Her huge doe eyes scanned through the whole room like she was searching for something and the moment her gaze caught his wine cellar filled with loads of drinks, she smiled excitedly as she walked in and shut the door behind her.

Then on her tiptoes, she walked past Gerald and instantly went to offload his entire collection of drinks and wine into her black bag, giggling as she did it.

“Money! Money!! Money!!”. Irene screamed in a tiny squeaky voice as she watched the huge bag filled with drinks, reach her height.

She wasn't tall, and a little short and fragile for a nineteen year old, but the bag she was like it was supposed to be used to bury her body, because it was her exact size and very wide.

The moment it was filled to the brink, the whole bag now looked like a giant treasure box, sharing the same height as her.

And Irene only grinned as she held one of the handles and began pulling it with all energy on her, but it didn't move an inch and then she went behind it to push it from behind with all her body and might but it still didn't move an inch.

And in frustration she went back to the front to hold the handle but the moment she got to the front of the bag again, she met Gerald standing right in front of her with a blank look on his face.

“Oh my goodness!!”. Irene flinched frightfully the moment she saw him as she fell to the ground in shock.

Gerald on the other hand while blinking puzzly moved closer to the bag as he opened the bag like a robot with no expression to check what was in it and Irene only sat on the floor watching him while shaking fearfully.

Till Gerald was done checking and he turned to her, instantly she went on her knees.

“Please forgive me sir! I--I'm doing this for charity. To save–to sa-ve helpless children's lives! To make the world a better place”. Irene pleaded rubbing her palms together and Gerald blinked puzzly.

“Aren't you the new dealer I contacted? Are these the drugs you brought? Why are these little? Did you mismanage my order?!”. Gerald spat as he looked into the bag again and Irene blinked puzzly.

“He's zoning out again. Wait--he zoned out!!”. Irene mumbled in relief as she instantly got up and grabbed the bag.

“Yes! You're right. I got the wrong orders!! Let me return these ones and bring your real orders!”. Irene uttered as she began dragging the bag and Gerald just stood watching her.

“Why is this so heavy?”. Irene muttered with force as she tried pulling again but still no movement and then she sighed turning to Gerald.

“A little help here please. I need to take it through the back gate”. Irene requested.

“Oh no problem. Do you need transport fare?”. Gerald asked as he went to help her drag it out of his room, down the hall.

“Oh my thank you! I would really love that!!!”. Irene replied in smiles as Gerald helped her push.

They soon came across some maids in the hallway and Irene only smiled at them.

“The bag is filled with cologne. It's the second boss's new business, he’s finally repented from using drugs”. Irene whispered to them and the maids only smiled.

“Good luck on your new journey Sir”. The servants wished Gerald as they went on with their business.

And Irene kept doing the same thing, not till Richard and Ophelia stepped into the hallway and Irene stopped on her track in shock while Gerald kept going and she fidgeted as she followed him from behind.

Richard planned on ignoring as he walked straight to their room door, but when he noticed Ophelia had stopped moving to stare suspiciously at Gerald who smiled as he approached her with a huge bag.

He stopped on his track to also see what was happening.

“Are those drugs in that bag?”. Ophelia asked Irene and instantly shook her head.

“No! They're not drugs! They're—cologne! It's the second boss's new business. He plans on starting officially tomorrow”. Irene muttered and Ophelia blinked puzzly as she glanced at Gerald who scoffed at her.

“If they're not drugs, what are they?! These little cuties here are just helping me coverup! She doesn't want me to get in trouble”. Gerald uttered, glancing at Irene who smiled.

Her gaze suddenly caught those of Richard's and she instantly took her gaze to her feet.

“I thought the second boss was scary, the third boss seems to be more intimidating. Am I in trouble now”. Irene thought within herself as she fidgeted within herself.

Richard's gaze then moved to Gerald who then went to Ophelia, bent before her and took her hand.

“You don't know what you're missing. Right now, I feel we're all in paradise. And you--you're the only angel I just came across many souls in this paradise. You should have agreed to be my Dr*g partner, we would have gone places together by just staying in our room, without even paying transport”. Gerald said and Richard's gaze on him darkened while Ophelia glanced at Irene who was shaking frightfully.

“Why's he talking like this? And even if--he needed help to move his stuff it surely wouldn't be you because he can't stand you! Why do you–

Ophelia was cut off when Gerald grabbed the back of her hair and pulled her into a kiss with him and both Irene's and the servants who were around had widened eyes.

Irene then glanced at Richard who stood watching with a straight face, but his eyes had a different color, a color screaming terror and destruction, and Irene held her head in panic.

‘I just ruined someone's marriage and my life in one goal!!’. Irene thought as she staggered backwards.

Richard then threw a sharp glare at Irene, before opening the room door and walking in, as he shut the door behind him.

Ophelia on the other hand tried pushing Gerald off her and breaking the kiss but he was too strong, and she would have kicked him in his middle if only she could walk.

The servants stood watching in awe and suddenly, Gaston and Pascal walked into the hallway and their eyes widened as they ran closer to see if they were seeing right.

“The f**k?! Part two already? After six years?!!”. Gaston gasped loudly and Pascal frowned seeing how Ophelia was struggling to push Gerald off.

He stormed towards them almost punching Gerald off her when Gaston pulled him back.

“Wait first”. Gaston said and Pascal frowned.

“What do you mean? He's taking advantage of her!!”. Pascal shouted but Gaston ignored him as he held him tight, while he turned to one of the servants watching.

“Where is Richard?”. He asked in a quirky smile and the servants pointed at his room which made Gaston smile widely.

“Seriously he's in there? Does he know?!”. Gaston asked and the moment the servants nodded positively he chuckled loudly.

Then he moved closer to Richard's room door.

“Gosh! Somebody's wife is a good kisser!! Gerald her first f**k and now her first kiss!! Her lips must be so soft!!”. Gaston shouted loudly right in front of Richard's room door.

“The f**k are you doing!”. Pascal yelled at Gaston, but Gaston ignored him as he continued.

“Even after six years. Their love still keeps burning!! Gosh! True love! Nothing is sweeter than true love!!”. Gaston shouted loudly as she turned his last statement into a playful song, his voice booming loud everywhere and Pascal tried freeing himself from him to go to struggling Ophelia, but Gaston only held him tighter with his second hand.

“What in Hades' name is going on here?! Why is the hallway packed?!”. Mrs Diamond shouted loudly as she arrived with Mr Diamond and the chairman.

The three of them had earlier decided to take a walk round the huge garden, now they were back.

Irene, out of shock, only broke down on the ground.

‘I'm dead. And I'm broke’. She thought within.

Instantly the servants paved the way for them to see the situation at hand and instantly the three elders' eyes widened the moment they saw Gerald literally and forcefully eating Ophelia's lips off.

“That slutty b*tch!!”. Mrs Diamond shouted as she stormed towards them.

She pushed Gerald off Ophelia and slapped Ophelia hard across her face, twice, causing Ophelia to hold her stinging cheeks.

“You cheater!! I knew you were no good for my Richy!! Just go die you wicked Jezebel!!”. Mrs Diamond shouted as she grabbed Ophelia's hair with one hand and begun delivering multiple slaps on her face with the other, till Pascal rushed and pushed her away from Ophelia who sat on her wheelchair with stinging red cheeks and glassy eyes, but amidst all, she only looked around in search of Richard who was nowhere in sight and she couldn't hold back her tears.

‘I failed him again’. She thought hurtfully.

“You insolent son, you're going to support this cheater because you don't get along well with your brother?!!”. Mrs Diamond shouted pointing angrily at Pascal.

“It's really not her fault!! Your second son got high on drugs again! And as a result of that he forced himself on her!!”. Pascal shouted and Mrs Diamond turned to Gerald who was now on the floor, smiling at himself as he stared up at the beautiful chandelier, while mumbling strange words to himself.

Mrs Diamond balled her fist in anger and slapped Pascal instead, shocking him and a few maids.

“You foolish boy! You're slandering your brother just to cover up for this cheater?! Is this the first time he's ever high?! Why haven't any of the maids reported him for r**e yet?!”. Mrs Diamond shouted and the servants nodded in agreement to what she said.

“It's true, the second boss might be a drug addict, but he never stared lustfully at me before”

“Me too. I was even starting to believe he was gay”

“Maybe her ladyship is right. Sir Richard's wife obviously seduced the second boss first!”

“That's true! Irene stood right next to him but he didn't kiss her, instead he went ahead to kiss the crippled new lady instead”

“She doesn't deserve Sir Richard. It's no wonder he left them to enjoy themselves when they started kissing!”

“Doc Angela is a hundred times better than this greedy crippled new lady!”

The servants spat and the chairman threw them a sharp glare, which made them keep quiet.

“I've always known you never deserved my son. Aside from you being crippled, you dare try to seduce my other boy?!! This is why I preferred Angela to you! She's knowledgeable with a better career!! She wouldn't dare cheat, not even in her next life!!”. Mrs Diamond shouted at Ophelia who was moody with tears escaping her eyes every moment.

“C,Mon mom. It's really not her fault!! Her husband saw her get assaulted right in front of everyone but he did nothing and only went into his room. I mean is that the same person Grandfather wants to take over his company?!!”. Gaston uttered with a sneaky smile as he spoke and Pascal turned to Richard's room in anger then he stormed closer to it and began banging on the door.

“Come out you unfaithful bastard!! Marriage is not for everyone and You're one of them!! Why marry her if you'll only watch her suffer!!”. Pascal shouted, banging the door.

“Don't talk to him like that! This isn't the first time, so I guess he's more than disappointed”. Ophelia mumbled in a low voice and Mrs Diamond broke into a loud laughter while the maids gasped.

Pascal only stood glaring at the door, he wasn't shocked, he already knew, same with Gaston.

“So you mean my Richard watched kiss his older brother!? And this isn't even the first time?!! You need another resounding slap for seducing all my sons! I knew for them to like you, you must have opened your p*$$y you stripper!!”. Mrs Diamond shouted storming and slapped Ophelia on her face again.

“That's enough Yolanda”. The chairman said from where he stood with his son, Mr Diamond.

And Mrs Diamond in anger stood back, while Mr Diamond threw Gerald who was still in dream a sharp glare.

“Throw him into the cold pool and have three strong men give thirty lashes of belts on his back, for disrupting my house peace. And as for whether the new lady cheated or not, what did I tell us about minding our business. Nobody should dare get involved in their issue, now disperse everyone!”. The chairman shouted loudly and everyone instantly scattered while Mrs Diamond ran to the chairman, as two strong guards carried Gerald away.

“Father in-law, it's really not Gerald's fault he got seduced!! This witch took advantage of his vulnerable state!! Please reverse your order, my son can't stand thirty lashes–

“Don't you have a party to plan before tonight? Our guests would soon be arriving”. The chairman cut her off as he used his walking stick, together with his son's support to go back to his room.

And Mrs Diamond glared after her husband who followed her father.

“Such a daddy’s boy. He couldn't even beg for his son”. Mrs Diamond spat angrily, turning to glare at Ophelia one last time she walked out.

The bag of wine and drinks were carried away and disposed of by the chairman's men, everyone left leaving only Ophelia and Irene who still sat on the floor on the hallway.

Seeing they were alone Irene instantly went on her knees, as she bowed to Ophelia.

“It's all my fault! I shouldn't have brought him out of his room! My greed kicked in and I—

Irene paused as she cried, and when she opened up to continue a maid walked up to her.

“What are you still doing here? Her ladyship needs more hands for tonight's preparation!!”. The maid said as she dragged Irene to go with her.

Ophelia only sat expressionless like she wasn't the one who just got talked to.

It's not yet twelve in the afternoon but the whole place was filled with servants running around preparing for a party Ophelia till now knew nothing about.

And from the looks of things, it was going to be a huge event because she heard countless servants speaking about the big CEOs and chairmans that would be present.

But she cared less, she moved her wheelchair closer to her and Richard's room door.

She sat staring at the door as she was too ashamed to knock, then she just sat resting her head on the door, as she watched the whole house get busy.

Hours passed, she was still there, nobody cared, she hadn't even eaten and it was getting dark.

Irene had sneakily brought her food twice within those past hours, but she refused.

Her head was still resting on the door, as she now wondered what Richard was doing inside.

Irene sneaked out of the kitchen again, to bring her food packed in a food box and because she knew Ophelia would refuse, she just dropped the food box on her lap and ran off.

Ophelia sighed as she sat ignoring the food, now four more hours had past and it was now, 10:30PM in the evening.

Ophelia noticed the running busy servants had stopped moving around, but the few that walked past her were dressed in corporate wear.

Not to mention the numerous voices she was hearing downstairs and the classic music from violins that rented the air.

Suddenly the door behind her opened, as she shifted not to hinder his movement.

The moment she looked up, she saw Richard dressed in a white white and black tuxedo, he had a Rolex watch on and looked extremely handsome as he also glanced at her.

“There you are. I thought you had gone somewhere. Sleep early, your legs needs it”. Richard flashed her a charming smile as he walked away charismatically down the hall, and Ophelia who was taken aback at how shockingly nice and non-offended he was stared after him.

Not till loud glass heels clicked to the ground and Angela, dressed in a glamorous white gown, approached Richard down the hall and they intertwined arms together before walking out of the hallway, like a couple.

Angela even smiled secretly at Ophelia before walking out of sight.

Ophelia on the other hand blinked puzzly as she brought her phone to check what kind of party the Diamonds were hosting and her eyes widened when she found out they were celebrating the anniversary of their company (Diamond holdings), that was now 80 years old.

“No one informed me, but--Angela was invited?”. Ophelia muttered to herself, as she scrolled through her phone and found multiple articles about Richard showing up with Angela who they believed is the secret wife behind closed doors.

And what made it worse was the fact that Angela had a ring on like a married woman and Richard whom Ophelia had never seen put on his wedding ring, had his own on also, and the internet went crazy.

Pictures from last night, the night Richard didn't sleep at home resurfaced, he had a drink with Angela at a luxury restaurant.

And an hour later they were seen going into a hotel together and none of them came out till the next morning where Richard's car was the first to drive out of the hotel with no Angela in sight.

Ophelia sat staring at her phone in utter confusion, when a message popped up on her screen from an unknown number.

*Told you, you were nothing but a hidden crippled wife. The real wife is the one everyone knows and when Richard takes her in as a wife, to the household she's a second wife, but to the whole world she's the only woman he ever married*

The messenger texted and Ophelia looked around her, wondering who might have sent it to her, since the person was unknown.

Suddenly two out of the six chandeliers in the hallways suddenly went off and the whole hallway became partially illuminated.

Ophelia looked around wondering what was wrong, she was the only one present up there, with loud music and crowd voices coming from downstairs.

Suddenly she sighted a short figure dressed in all black, with a black face mask and nose mask standing staring at her from the other end of the hallway.

The figure was with a phone at one hand and a knife at the other making her eyes widened and then the figure texted as heshe stared at her.

*Don't be scared. I'm just your lucky buddy who'll be giving you updates about your husband and his lover*

The figure texted and the moment Ophelia read it she glanced up at the figure, but he was nowhere to be found and the lights were now back on, and she cringed in fright as she hurriedly wheeled herself into the room and shut the door locked…
