Ryan’s POV I paced around my office in restlessness as I gritted my teeth with uneasiness blooming inside me as the thought of the sexy goddess whose purity I had taken crossed my head for the umpteenth time that day.It had been four frustrating weeks after the sexual encounter happened between Ophelia and me. To say I had forgotten about it and had moved on with my life after that night was nothing but a lie. After that night, I just couldn't get her and her warm pussy out of my head.On numerous occasions, I'd go to Vegas's nightclub to pick up a hoe and fuck them just to stop thinking about Ophelia but that only made me crave her more.I couldn't stop thinking about the ethereal picture of her, lying pliant in my arms and letting out soft, velvety moans as I fucked her to a stupor before shooting my cumload inside her.I wanted more of her. I had become obsessed with her and I knew I wouldn't rest until I found a way to own her even though I knew that statement of mine was nearl
Ophelia’s POV "You said your boss borrowed you such a huge amount of money, what does he do for a living that he has so much money?" Dad asked me as I detached a grape from the huge cluster which was placed on a plate on the bedside table.It had been a month after dad underwent surgery and started chemotherapy. Now, he looked more energetic and his golden-tan complexion was gradually coming back.He didn't look deathly pale like a ghost anymore and I was immensely glad whenever I looked at his face.Sometimes, I still couldn't believe that my dad was slowly becoming hale and hearty after the calamities and depression that I had gone through in the past few months.I couldn't wait for him to complete the rest of his treatment and get fully well, so I'd start saving up to go to culinary school.I gulped nervously as cold sweat instantly broke out on my forehead, "Yeah, he is. He's a billionaire and he owns a lot of oil distilleries across the globe, so I guess two million dollars is j
Ophelia’s POV I strolled into “Strip and ride” with my heart drumming violently in my chest as a wave of nostalgia hit me.I gulped harshly as I sighted a middle-aged, bald man who was standing in the lobby with his phone placed against his ear. The man's gaze met with mine and instantly, I knew he was the man who called me the day before–Salvador Diego.I nodded at him as his eyes doubled in size in recognition before he crossed the hallway and walked towards me with a clipped smile."Ophelia Alvarez?" He asked, outstretching his hand for a handshake."Yes," I shook his hand and quickly slipped my hand away from his as if it was a fiery furnace that burnt my skin."Ryan has arrived. He arrived a few minutes ago, and I told him everything that you said yesterday. He had agreed to stay away if you don't accept his offer," Rodrigo told me as he led me to the private room where Ryan was in.Ryan, just the thought of the man's name made me quiver in my stance. For an unknown reason, I f
Ophelia’s POV "Wait, let me get this straight. Your employer proposed a juicy offer for you to be a live-in caregiver to him pending the time his daughter comes to get him but you are considering it. Why?" Ava asked as she stood up from where she was previously seated to sit next to me and place a reassuring hand on my back.Yeah, you guessed right. I had formulated another great lie to Ava to ask for her opinion on Ryan's offer to me. Technically, it wasn't really a lie because I was likely going to move into Ryan's mansion if I accepted his offer, and I'd be a caregiver to his cock, so yeah, it was a sort of white lie.Currently, Ava and I were inside the dressing room at the strip club. I conversed with her as I watched her get dressed in front of the mirror. I had an off day, so I was free to sloth around for a while before I left for the hospital to pay my dad my usual daily visit."Yes, I don't really know about it. I mean I've paid up dad's medical bills and I don't need the
Ryan’s POV I scrolled through my phone as irritation spiced with a dash of anger brewed inside me. I poked my inner cheek with my tongue in a bid to prevent myself from getting irked.It had been a week and two days since I offered Ophelia the proposal to be my sex slave, but I still had not gotten a phone call or a text from Salvador to get her response.Inwardly, I regretted not getting her contact on the day we met at the strip club, and I knew Salvador would ramble on about being a professional boss if I asked him for her phone number, so I was stuck with blaming myself as I couldn't do anything else.I didn't want to seem like I was too desperate to own her, or like I was so obsessed with her by placing calls and sending messages to Salvador to ask him if she had said anything to him, even though I knew I'd be the first person to learn of it if Ophelia had gotten in contact with him.I dropped my phone on the table with a sigh, as I decided to indulge myself with the thought of
Ophelia’s POV I winced in discomfort as the rays of sunlight seeped through the curtains, and shone on my face. I rolled over to the other side, with my eyes still squeezed shut, not wanting to move an inch from the warm and extremely soft bed that I was laying on.I sighed in respite when the intensifying light of the sun reduced on my face as I smiled to myself.I was just a wink closer to falling back to sleep when I heard a loud knock on the door, which made an exasperated groan leave my lips.I had to suppress the urge to snap at whoever was behind the door, as I fluttered my eyes open and yawned.Afterward, I rolled off the bed with sleep-clouded eyes and fell on my butt with a gentle thud which made me let out a disgruntled grunt.The fluffy beige-colored rug on the floor did well to alleviate the pain I should have felt for being so careless.Then, I got up from the floor, glanced across the room with hooded eyes as I scratched my nape and yawned tiredly again. The realizati
Ryan’s POV "It's a pleasure to finally have you as a business partner, Ryan," The elderly president of Moreno Softwares, Damon Moreno said to me as we shook hands, and I bowed to him in courtesy."Same here, Damon. I hope we remain partners for a long time," I replied, with a smile which he mirrored and nodded.Damon Moreno, though forty-three years older than me, was one of my most-trusted business partners in the software business, and I had invested some millions in his company some days ago to seal our newly-founded partnership."By the way, did you hear that Fernandez is hosting the annual charity gala this year?" Damon asked as I walked him to the entrance of the company where his driver was waiting with his car."Fernandez? The brat whose father died a couple of months ago?" I replied with a question of mine, and Damon nodded in affirmation which made me scoff.The brat was going to have squandered his dad's hard-earned wealth before the year ended with how reckless he was cur
Ophelia’s POV "Ophelia, are you okay?" Jason asked me when he noticed I had remained unmoving and frozen after Ryan left the living room.I concealed my fear, and nodded to him with a small smile, "Yes, I am,""I'm going to see what Ryan needs, I'll be right back," I told Jason and patted his shoulder before I trekked to the staircase, and climbed it with my heart in my mouth.It was obvious that Ryan was mad at me or at something I did to him, and no matter how hard I tried to rummage my thoughts to think of what I could have done, I just couldn't place a finger on it.With a deep exhale, I knocked on the door and waited for him to usher me in."Come in," I heard him gruff, and that only made me more scared as the thought of running into my room and bolting it from inside to hide from Ryan's wrath struck me but I shook the thought away and pushed the door open."You c-called me," I stammered as I stood with my hands clasped in my front, and at a reasonable distance away from Ryan wh
Ophelia's POV"Be a good boy for Miss Daphne, okay? If she tells me otherwise, I won't get you the spider-man boots anymore, okay?" I instructed, crouching down to Jeremy's height, and straightening the collars of his t-shirt."Yes, mommy," Jeremy nodded before he threw his arms around me in a warm hug."Take care, baby," I muttered after we disengaged from the hug."Yes, mommy. Bye," He waved cheerfully, slipping his hand into Daphne's."Daphne, thanks for this. Please don't forget to give me a call if he gets too much, and I'll come pick him up immediately," I said, to which Daphne smiled."Okay, Lia. I have heard you. We'll be on our way now," She waved at me before hoisting Jeremy to her waist.I watched their retreating figures until it disappeared before I headed back to my place. Daphne had offered to take Jeremy to her son's place that morning. She had a grandchild who was the same age as Jeremy, so I had accepted her offer. I wanted Jeremy to play with people his age. I didn
Ryan's POV"Good day, ladies and gentlemen. From this moment onward, I will be the new president of the branch here, and I hope we all get along throughout the duration of my stay," I uttered to the shareholders who were sat on the same table with me in the conference room."We hope so, too. It's a pleasure having you here," The vice president replied with a nod which I mirrored.Afterward, I stood up from my seat, and they all followed suit. Then, I headed to my new office.The company's branch in London was significantly smaller than the head branch at Texas. But regardless of that, I still looked forward to working there."I have no meeting left to attend today, right?" I asked my secretary, and she shook her head in affirmation."Perfect," I mumbled, hoisting myself up from the chair to grab my coat and briefcase."I'll see you tomorrow then," I said as I draped my coat on.She nodded, "Alright, sir. Goodbye,"Then, I headed to the parking lot. It had been two weeks since I moved
Ophelia’s POV "Woah, hold on. Wait a minute, what are you saying? Ryan said what?" Ava screeched loudly from the other end of the phone.I sighed miserably to myself as I rinsed my hands clean in the sink, freshened up my makeup, before I grabbed my bag and phone."You heard me, babe. Ryan found out he's Jeremy's dad, and now, he's threatening to take my baby away from me," I muttered as I trekked out of the bathroom to pick Jeremy up from kindergarten.Usually, Daphne always helped me with picking Jeremy up, and taking him to her condo pending the time I'd get back from work. But that day, my paranoia and overthinking got the best of me.I almost stopped Jeremy from boarding the bus when it arrived at the bus stop earlier that morning because I was scared. I was scared of Ryan or anyone taking my ball of sunshine away from me."He won't dare. What the hell? I thought he said he changed. Who the fuck goes around threatening the estranged mother of their child that they'd take their b
Ryan’s POV "I know, Ophelia. I am Jeremy's dad. You don't need to keep hiding it from me anymore," I uttered to Ophelia as I stared down at her, with a sinister smile curving my lips upward.She seemed horrified as her mouth faltered and opened before it immediately flapped shut. She couldn't meet my gaze, and her breathing rate fastened.I quickly shuffled back to give her some space to process everything I just said. Thankfully, her breathing rate stabilized and she glared up at me."What do you mean you're Jeremy's dad? What gives you the audacity to make that sort of a baseless statement?" She spat, her glare faltering when I didn't back down, and instead fixated my gaze on her.I laughed mirthlessly and shook my head, "I know everything, Ophelia. I know more than you think I know. And overall, I know Jeremy is my son. I have eyes and ears everywhere, so of course I'd know that. I was waiting for you to tell me the truth, but it seemed that'd never happen, so I had to take the b
Ophelia’s POV I strolled through the hospital hallway with the bouquet of dahlias mixed with daisies clutched in my hand. "Room thirty one," I mumbled to myself as I gazed at the room number slates which were firmly glued to the doors.Soon, I got to room thirty one. I knocked gently and waited quietly for the inhabitant to usher me in."Is that Miss Ophelia? Please come in," Isabelle's voice came out in the form of a weak whisper and I smiled to myself before I pushed the door open, and quietly slammed it shut.I took in the sight of Isabelle lying on the bed, clutching her newborn in the small bundle, and nostalgia swept over me.I recalled the day I gave birth to Jeremy. No one was beside me while I pushed him out of me, nobody came to drop flowers and congratulate me at the hospital.I cried so hard for some weeks after I got home. It was after then that I decided to make friends with Daphne.Isabelle's situation was also similar to mine. But she was raped by her boyfriend, and
Ryan’s POV I stood at the center of my new condominium with a tired but accomplished smile rooted to my face as I nodded to myself.Damon's men had done a great job with the interior decorations. The place didn't look the slightest bit comfortable for me, given that I was used to living in my humongous yet lifeless mansion.I was slightly excited about living in a place without my helpers at my beck and call for the first time in my life. Everything I was doing was for Ophelia and Jeremy. I reassured myself as I grabbed the plastic bag containing two boxes of pizzas, a pack of banana milk, and a box of apple juice.Then, I headed out of my place to the elevator. I was going to visit my newest neighbor with some gifts.Moments later, I reached my neighbor's door which I knocked tenderly on. "Coming," I heard her tiny voice screech which made me chuckle fondly.I waited patiently by the door with the bag clasped tighter in my hand, and my heart beating rapidly with nervousness.Short
Ophelia’s POV I trekked through the condominium gates with my brows furrowed in confusion as I stared at the moving trucks that were parked inside the vast compound with some men who were professionally clad in black suits clustered around it.The image of the various bulky men in suits brought an offensive image of Ryan's mansion to my mind which I immediately shrugged off before I walked past them, deciding to ignore them and their commotion.I walked into the elevator with a sigh, stared down at my wristwatch, and palmed my forehead as I felt the painful throbbing of an impending migraine.I had been working quite late recently at the restaurant to prevent my mind from straying away from a certain grey-eyed monster. With a smile, I knocked gently on Daphne's door and tightened my clutch on the package in my other hand.Moments later, she opened it with a grin. My smile turned wan when I didn't see Jeremy bolting past her to hug me."Hi, Daphne," I greeted as she widened her door
Ryan’s POV I sighed deeply as I scribbled my signature on the paperwork in front of me, even though my mind was far away from my body.It had been two weeks since I asked Damon to find out about Ophelia's partner and the father of her son, but I hadn't received any helpful leads yet from Damon.I was gradually starting to accept my fate and that Ophelia would never be mine in this universe. I was about to take a long puff of the vape that was enclosed in between my fingers when I heard a knock on the door."Come in," I grumbled, easing the vape back on the desk.Damon marched in with a brown envelope. He bowed before handing me the envelope, "You have to see this, sir,"I frowned but collected the envelope from him regardless, "What's this?""The true identity of the man who impregnated Ophelia," He revealed, motioning to the envelope.My eyes doubled in surprise as I stared at the envelope, "Really? Are you sure of what you're saying?""Yes, sir,""So, is she married?" I asked, tear
Ophelia’s POV I was jolted out of my siesta by my phone vibrating against the nightstand with an incoming call.I grumbled as I gently disengaged myself from Jeremy's vice grip before I retrieved the offending device and answered the call without glancing at the caller id."Who's this?" I mumbled, scrubbing a hand over my face to clear the lingering bits of sleep in my eyes."Hi, babe. I'm sorry I haven't called you in a while," Ava said, which made me sit up properly and rest against the headboard.I yawned, "Nah, it's fine, babe. How's work and how's everything over there?" "Fine, fine. I have an off day today. So, I can stay on the phone for as long as I want," She squealed, to which I giggled."Oh, really?""Yup. Can we FaceTime or are you busy with something? It's been a while since I last saw my nephew, and I want to see him," She said, which made me sigh."Sure, let's do that. I'm not busy, I don't have work today. I had to call in sick because Jeremy suddenly started throwin
