chapter 10

💥 Richard pov 💥

I froze for God knows how long,I stood there looking at her with my mouth wide open.

is this Lucy or am i imagining things.

She is as beautiful as an angel in that pink dress.

i regained my senses when i heard Bianca giggling.

"Oh Richard isn't she beautiful as a fairy she said"

"Oh who"?i asked stammering,

i prentended not knowing what she was saying.

"Lucy off course"

Ohhhh Lucy you are here,i never knew my portrait was this beautiful,it really caught my attention i said referring to portrait I brought home.

Oh i see said Bianca smirking devilishly at me,

i need to escape before i will be cut up in her web.

Martha took my suitcase inside,Lucy greeted me,she was looking so nervous.

i answered her greeting with a nod going to my room.

I need to freshen up I said,

catch you later little sis.when i got inside my room,i slumed into my one arm couch and sigh out of relief for a second i thought i was going crazy,

I don't want to fall for her but I can't help myself,

i need to rest ,i went to freshen up .I could still hear the ladies voice,i smiled , Bianca can be such a talkative

My head is very heavy,I jumped to my bed thinking about Lucy before i was overcomed by sleep.

Hours later a knock on my door woke me up,i opened my eyes but still lying still on my bed,

Bianca popped her head inside,ohh Richard sorry to wake you up ,but it almost time for the party.

"Thanks sis for notifying me ,by the way where is Lucy?I asked,

she went home but will soon get back,she called but you were still sleeping,

oooh I see , alright go dress up ,I want you to be in your best dress,

trust me brother she said as she closed the door.

oh god i feel so good and fit after having a good nap,I went to the bathroom to freshen up,

I wore my black suit.martha I called!

yes Richard she answered, please tell Oscar to go pick up Lucy it almost time.

alright Richard

"Thank Martha"

Martha has been like a mother to me,she has been with me since I lost my mother ,she was there when I was nothing,she stood by me like my mother,I will always love and be grateful to her,she is very loving.she is a widow and has only one son which I made sure he was comfortable in the state.

i went downstairs looking for Martha.

" Martha please how do I look in this suit and what tie should i use?

the red tie should be perfect she said,

thanks you are the best i said smiling like a baby,

she hit me on the chest playfully.

ohh you have broken my heart,I can't breathe properly I said playfully

quit the act Richard I know you are joking.

i love you Martha,she smiled and please put on your best dress i said,

I left her and went back to my room.

I looked at myself in the mirror and was satisfied with my look,I heard Lucy voice and ran downstairs,oh she so beautiful in that blue gown

ohhh Lucy you are here .

"Yes sir she said"

" Hope everything is perfectly ok i asked"?

"Yes sir "

Bianca came down looking very beautiful.

"How do I look big brother she asked"?

"You look great sis"
