Blind Billionaire Bride

IDAHO, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA

AT IDAHO CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

Speedy took out the content in the envelope. They were pictures of Ria Robert and it took him extra effort to keep his jaw from dropping. Ria was alive! The little blind girl was now a grown woman. A beautiful woman! And the most surprising aspect was that she could see!

But Speedy wasn’t ready to admit to Frederick that the lady could be the same blind girl he knew eight years ago. “Did she resurrected from the dead?” He asked Frederick.

His pretense and silly questions were beginning to annoy Frederick Robert. “This is not Ria Robert. The one I know was blind and she died eight years ago.”

Frederick balled his fist under the table. He had thought of paying some officials in prison to torture Speedy until he tells the truth but he decided against it because doing that would expose his secret.

“She is the same Ria Robert.” Frederick said. He was certain she didn’t die years back.

“Can she sew?” Speedy asked.

“This lady in the picture is now the latest clothe designer in Chicago. She is super famous!” Frederick grimaced.

Speedy could hardly believe it! He was aware that Ria liked sewing! And she had even amended some of the workers clothes in the den. Lucas didn’t allow her at first because he was afraid that she would try to kill herself with a needle but Ria had promised him that she won’t try to do it. She claimed that she didn’t want to forget her mother’s trade and the things she learnt. Then he allowed her after the promise only when Andrea was around to watch her.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“The lady said it in an interview that she used to be blind before she had an eyes surgery done. And there is no doubt that she is the same Ria Robert. So tell me did Lucas kill Ria eight years ago?” Frederick demanded.

Speedy was silent and the silence was killing Frederick but he was willing to be patient with him.

“It could possibly be the same Ria.” Speedy clicked his tongue and shrugged at the same time.

It was pointless telling Frederick Robert that Ria was dead. And he also figured that Robert won’t leave until he tells him the truth.

He said after a long pause. “The truth is that… Lucas didn’t kill Ria that year.” Fredrick’s heart skipped beats. “Lucas liked her almost immediately and he wanted to take her right there until we heard the sirens. I mean, Lucas didn’t allow anyone to pull the trigger at her so we took her with us. Ria was in our den when you came that night.” He confessed.

“Why didn’t he kill her?” Frederick demanded.

“I just told you the reason. Lucas liked her. He fell for Ria Robert.” Speedy clarified.

“So what did he do with her in the den.” Frederick questioned.

Then Speedy explained everything to Frederick. “She became his favorite person. Look at this.” He showed Frederick his missing right index finger. “Lucas chopped it off when he found out I tried to force myself on Ria. Lucas was in love with her but he couldn’t confess it to her because of the type of man he was, stone hearted and stubborn. And Ria never gave herself to him willing. He forced himself on her every time and tried to teach her how to bend to his will. Practically Ria was Lucas sex toy or pet because he went to her anytime he wanted to pleasure himself.” He drew in a deep breathe.

“I am still amused that she survived and she is doing fine now. I have no idea how she left Lucas’s den after the gang’s downfall. To be honest Robert, she really suffered in Lucas’s hands.” He admitted.

“How long did she stay in the den?” Frederick asked again.

“Ria was in the den for about a year. And along the line Lucas became desperate to have a child with her. He never used protection because he felt safe since he was the one who took her virginity. Plus-”

“So did she get pregnant during those times?” Frederick interrupted him.

“Yes. But she had a miscarriage and that was before I tried to force myself on her.” Speedy answered.

“Did she know?” Frederick asked.

“Ria wasn’t aware that she was pregnant. No one knew about it until the day Lucas came to her to pleasure himself. Ria had refused him again and then he ended up beating her like he used to do and he punched the baby out. Lucas didn’t realized it until her maid told him that she was bleeding. It was a bloody scene. And it was the doctor that attended to her told Lucas that she had a miscarriage. Lucas felt remorseful that day but that didn’t stop him from going back to her. To cut the long story short, we went for an operation and someone blew our cover, the cops killed Lucas and two others. You know the rest of the story. And that’s all I know about Ria. I don’t know how she made it out of den.” Speedy completed.

And they both lapsed into silence for seconds. Speedy sat there staring at Ria’s pictures. And as he admired her the feelings of guilt washed over him! He recalled that day he had tried to force himself on Ria and what she went through the day he lied to Lucas that she tried to seduce him so he could get her out of the den. He did that to defend himself. He never knew a trusted worker heard everything he did to Ria in Lucas’s room.

The worker was disturbed whenever she was asked to give food to Ria and Andrea. She confessed to Lucas when she couldn’t bear it alone.

“Can I keep one of these pictures?” Speedy asked Frederick.

“Why?” Frederick arched his brows. He snatched the pictures from Speedy and gave it back to his bodyguard.

“I think I need to ask for her forgiveness. And I would be glad to meet her if I wasn’t in jail.” Speedy joked.

“Don’t even think about it. You want to meet her after everything you did to her? Do you think Ria will ever want to see you?” Frederick chuckled.

“I know she won’t want to see me but what about you? Robert, think of what Ria would do to you if she finds you. Ria was aware that you sent us. So Robert prepare yourself, you might be joining me in here soon because I know Ria won’t sit back and watch you. She will get revenge on you for killing her parents.” Speedy said in a tight whisper.

“That won’t happen anytime soon, Speedy.” Frederick Robert replied confidently.

He was sure of himself. Everything Speedy told him was enough to bring Ria down even before she thinks of getting back at him. Being a sex pet to an ardent criminal is enough to bring her down. He will act on it and reveal her secret to the world. She would feel humiliated and too weak to get back at him and she would end up giving up the fight. Frederick thought.

At that moment, Frederick decided that he has to destroy Ria’s relationship with the Bryant. If they ever find out what he did they would help her bring him down now matter what. He had done a good job at covering up his crimes but the Bryants have the strong connections to dig up the truth which he had buried.

“Confess your crimes, ask for her forgiveness and turn yourself in to the police. And don’t try to destroy or get rid of her again because she went through hell eight years ago. Ria Robert deserves everything she has now.” Speedy said.

Frederick stood up. “Thanks for the advice although I won’t be needing it anytime soon. Goodbye, Speedy.” He said with a croaked smile on his lips.

A warder came closer. “See you soon, Frederick Robert.” Speedy grinned as he followed the prison guard.

“Get rid of him.” Frederick mumbled to bodyguard when they got back to the car.

It was high time to silence Speedy from saying to much. “Okay sir.” The bodyguard replied.

Frederick chuckled softly. “Dear Speedy, you should be thankful that I am about to end your miserable life instead of staying in jail for life.” He bantered internally.

Speedy would be out of the picture soon and then he would have only Ria to deal with.

BACK IN THE CELL

The warder unlocked the handcuff and speedy walked into the cell. “Hey man, was it that old man?” An inmate asked.

“Yes. It turns out that old fool has been lying to me all this time.” Speedy seethed his teeth in anger.

“Rich people are bastards!” Another inmate snorted.

“He is coming to join us very soon.” Speedy chuckled darkly.

“Deep secrets right?” The first inmate asked.

“Yes. I have always known that the rich are the real criminals.” Speedy responded.

“You are full of secrets.”

“I worked with a first class assassin, Lucas. One thing is certain, nemesis will catch up with that old man soon.” Speedy chuckled as he removed the dollars from his boot.

“Did he give you all of that?”

“This is a whole lot of money!”

“I got it in change for the truth.” Speedy added.

“What truth?” The other inmates chorused.

“You will probably find out in the news soon. Very soon inmates.” Speedy shared the money and gave it out to them.
