Ch 18: Research and Reasons.

-  Bella Richards -

"you really think that?" I said, sipping my latte.

"I have a neutral opinion on this, though. He deserved death and she deserved punishment – simple. Calvin wasn't involved in killing any of them, he only wanted their punishment so maybe he had sent them, as in the documents of their crimes, to the police. Now please stop overthinking." She said massaging her temples.

I nodded and took my last sip of my coffee. We were right now in our office room, passing time during our lunch break. Even though Christiana had convinced me through it that he wouldn't be involved in all that shit. He shouldn't be. He can't kill someone for me...can he?

"Sometimes I wonder why did you even marry him? Like you didn't even know him." She chuckled sitting up straight, "but then I remember..."

"That day." I completed her sentence with a chuckle. What a day it was..

*The day after Bella's parents proposed her about the marriage with Calvin*

"After you dropped that bomb of your marriage, I had to come." Christiana said, plopping herself on my bed, "I love your bed — it's so comfy."

I heaved a long sigh and plopped on the bed next to her, "we have work to do, Christiana – can't lie down and chill." I said, taking my macbook from my table after getting up. I went to her as she took out hers from her bag alongside some notebooks, pencils, highlighters, pens and sticky notes.

I looked at her somewhat stunned, "You brought a whole bunch of supplies."

She shrugged, "it's a big name – can't risk it."

I nodded and started typing away on my laptop.

The first thing that came up as soon as I searched his name was the big company he owned. His father was the owner of Richards&co., and he was the owner of the estate business, while freelancing with modeling for some of the brands of R&C. Starting from malls, hotels to apartments – what they had not built. Their reach was big, so was their money and business.

But you know what got my eye first? His fucking face.

He was such a handsome fucking man, goddamnit! He has hazel eyes with perfect hunter eyes and long eyelashes, a perfect height of 6'3, a good fucking body, dashing hair and beard and a perfect facial structure. He looked like a damnit greek god.

"Fangirls flooded the wall-street mall of R&C once Mr Calvin Richards reached the place." Girls are that simped for him?

"Girl, what article are you reading? We are here to search for his crime history, not all this!" She said, smacking his head. I looked at her annoyed,

"Bitch, let me live my life. Ugh." I rolled my eyes, "I might marry him so it's necessary to know how popular he is among the girls."

"Just say you're a simp." haha

"You're cute." I roll my eyes.

I looked at an article printed by the VOGUE magazine, "Calvin Richards, bagging the 1st position on the hottest single businessmen. Who will be the lucky girl to steal his attention? Fans willing to know."

"Gurllll, what did I say just now??" She again said, annoyed.

"Yes, ma'am." I said and decided to pour my attention towards finding out about the criminal history of their family.
