Chapter 14 I hate you

Rita's POV

"It is done " Richard replied and Chloe threw me a glare .

Richard and I walked upstairs and I went for my room .

"Where are you going ?"He asked

"To my room "I replied.

"Your stuffs aren't there anymore "He said and dragged me to his room and to my surprise, all my stuffs were in his room .

"We're married , so we should be in same room "He said and left for the bathroom .

I wasn't ready for this ! I can't stay in same room with him .

He came out from the bathroom looking hot but that's not my business .

"I don't want to stay in same room with you "I said.

"It's not an option "He said.

"You should be naked by now , I don't like the clothes on your body "He said and my heart began to drum .

"Richard , can we not do this ? am not prepared for this "I said but he pulled my blouse and it tore.

"I've not touched you for some time . I can't take it anymore ".He said and carried me to the bed.

"Richard, I don't want to do this "I said and a lone tear dropped from my eye .

He ignored me and tore my panties then removed the towel around his waist and slammed into me .

"You're so good "He grunted and increased his pace while I just let the tears out .

I'll just have to bear it for two years then I'll meet face to face with my freedom.

He released inside me and that's when he stopped .

I got up and went to the bathroom to wash myself .

I remembered my dad's face when I was parting with him and tears rolled down my face .

If mom was alive , I wouldn't be here .

I came out of the bathroom wrapped in my towel and Richard kept staring at me with a flirtatious smile .

I ignored him and dressed up then laid at the end of the bed.

"Why the distance ?"He asked

"Cause I like it here "I replied and he dragged me close to himself .

"You're mine , Rita . My own money so stop trying to argue with me . It upsets me "He said and the pains I didn't feel few days ago came back .

"We might be married but you're my sef toy and that will end after two years "He said and I nodded .

His phone rang and be answered the call .

"Howre you sweetheart ?"He asked the caller and I needed no one to tell him it was Cindy .

"Am fine, darling. I'll be coming back next week "She said and he stood up with a big smile .

"Thats the best news I've heard this week "He said and I felt a prickle in my heart .

I stood up and left the room .

I didn't want to hear any more than I've heard already .

I went to the kitchen to get something to eat .

I got there and saw Rick eating some sliced apples .

"Hi , Rick "I said

"Hi Rita "He replied and there was an awkward silent .

"Are you really happy with him ?"He asked.

"What do you mean ?"I asked feigning ignorance .

"You know what am talking about "He replied .

"I don't want to talk about that Rick "I said.

"You even cried this night "He said and I was surprised.

"You've cried on my shoulders so I know your look when you cry "He said and I nodded .

"I'll always give you my shoulder to lean on when you're troubled ,Rita "He said and wiped the tear that just fell from my eye .

"Rick "I called and hugged him tightly .

"You're squeezing life out of me "He said but I didn't care . I hugged him even tighter . He's the only soul that understands my predicament in this house .

Richard's POV

Rita left when I was making a call with Cindy but I didn't ask her where she's going cause I was talking to Cindy .

After the call , she wasn't yet back so I left to search for her .

I went to the kitchen and saw her hugging Rick tightly .

"You're squeezing life out of me " Rick said and she hugged him tighter .

I left the kitchen with anger .

I went to the room and few minutes later she came into the room.

"Where are you coming from ?"I asked.

"The kitchen "She replied

"What did you go there to do ? I asked .

"I went to get something to eat " She replied and I lost it .

I walked to her and slapped her hard on the face .

"Have some dignity for yourself . I saw you hugging Rick tightly and God knows what happened after I left" I said and she pushed me hard and left the room .

That's a very big wing she's growing.

I followed her and she went to her previous room and locked the door .

I banged on the door but she didn't open it , so I left for my room .

One hour later , she wasn't back so I got the spare key of her room and opened the room to see her lying on the floor and dried tears on her face . The slap marks were still on her cheeks , making her cheeks look red in colour .

Her lips were torn a little and I needed no one to tell me she bit her lips till she fell asleep .

I proceeded to touch her when she turned her face to the other side .

"I hate you , Richard "She said in her sleep .

"If only mommy was here "She said and a tear fell from her eye while she was sleeping.

I carried her to our room and laid her on the bed .

When will she learn that I hate her association with Rick !

I left the room and went for Rick's .

I walked into his room and saw him operating on his laptop .

"Knock before coming in Richard "He said.

"I don't like your association with Rita "I said

"You're afraid she's gonna fall in love with me ? I don't see how that should be a problem when the love of your life will be arriving next week "He said and I got surprised he knew .

"My friend told me "He said with a smirk .

"Whatever . If you don't want blood to spill then back off "I said and left the room .

He's biting more than he can chew and am ready to blow off the excess from his mouth .
