CEO's Delicate Wife Chapter 68
The heavy silence that followed Ophelia’s capture was palpable, settling like a thick fog over Julian’s estate. She’d been brought in with a level of security usually reserved for high-profile threats, every guard on edge after her earlier escape. Erica watched from the doorway as Julian’s men escorted Ophelia into the holding room, her wrists tightly bound, the remnants of her earlier struggle evident in the bruises and cuts on her wrists and face.Ophelia’s eyes met Erica’s through the dim light, and a faint, taunting smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. Despite her restrained position, her gaze held defiance, a simmering hatred Erica had come to expect—but it no longer shook her.Julian approached Erica, his jaw set in a hard line. “She’ll be secured this time. There’s no chance of her slipping through again,” he assured, as though reading her mind.Erica nodded, though her heart pounded with a quiet anxiety. “I just hope this brings us closer to ending all of this.” She glanc

The hours following Erica’s conversation with Ophelia passed in a blur of preparations and briefings. Julian’s men were on high alert, every corner of the estate fortified. The threat of an impending attack from Ophelia’s allies loomed heavy, and no one was taking any chances.Inside Julian’s office, Erica scanned a detailed map of the city that lay spread across his desk. She and Julian had spent the last hour going over various potential security points, discussing plans to outmaneuver Ophelia’s remaining network. They were both exhausted, but Erica’s resolve remained unbreakable.Julian leaned against the desk, crossing his arms as he studied her. “You’ve barely had a moment to breathe,” he observed, a faint smile breaking through the tension in his voice. “You should take a break. Maybe even a night off.”Erica gave a small laugh, shaking her head. “A night off? We’re in the middle of a war here.”“A smart leader knows when to recharge,” Julian replied. He reached across the desk,

The quiet hum of the interrogation room filled the air as Julian and Erica stood before the one-way mirror, watching Ophelia seated calmly inside. Her hands were bound, her face as unreadable as ever, exuding a chilling calm even in captivity. If she felt the sting of defeat, she hid it well. Ophelia sat poised, almost as if she were hosting rather than being held under lock and key.Erica’s fingers twitched with a barely concealed urge to confront her directly, but Julian’s hand on her shoulder kept her grounded. “Remember,” he said softly, his eyes meeting hers. “This isn’t just about getting answers. It’s about unearthing everything she’s kept hidden. We have to be strategic.”Erica nodded, exhaling slowly. She steeled herself, focusing on the task at hand. “I know. But seeing her sitting there, so composed… it’s infuriating.”“That's exactly what she wants,” Julian replied, giving her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “We’ll break her down by peeling away at her defenses. She won’t s

The morning light filtered through the blinds in Julian’s office, casting thin beams across the room as he reviewed the leads Ophelia had given them. Despite her unwilling cooperation, Julian sensed she had only offered them breadcrumbs—just enough to make her appear valuable, but not enough to dismantle the entire web she had constructed. Erica sat across from him, the faintest trace of exhaustion under her eyes, though she looked focused as ever.“Any thoughts?” Julian asked, glancing up from the files.She leaned forward, tracing a finger along the network map of names and connections they had sketched out together. “She’s giving us pieces, but we’re still missing the center,” Erica said. “All these small players are shielding someone bigger. And if we don’t find that person…”Julian nodded grimly. “Her empire rebuilds itself. Ophelia might be the face of this operation, but I don’t think she’s the one pulling all the strings.”A knock on the door interrupted them. Nolan, one of Ju

The air was thick with a somber tension in Julian’s office. Erica and Julian, along with a few trusted team members, pored over plans and documents scattered across the large mahogany table. Ophelia’s capture had been a victory, but they knew it was far from over. There were loose ends to tie up, powerful allies to dismantle, and a dangerous network to destabilize.Julian leaned back, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the edge of the table. “Cross will sever his alliance with Ophelia if he thinks she's too exposed or if her network becomes a liability,” he said, breaking the silence. “With Ophelia detained, we finally have the advantage.”Erica studied a list of Cross’s assets and recent movements. She had learned enough from her father’s teachings to know the value of psychological pressure. “We need to feed Cross just enough information to make him think Ophelia’s network is crumbling,” she said. “If he sees an attack coming, he’ll abandon her.”Julian nodded, a glint of resp

The early morning sun filtered through the compound’s windows as Julian and Erica prepared for what they hoped would be the final steps in dismantling Ophelia’s network. In the main briefing room, Julian spread out a map of the city, each mark representing Ophelia’s remaining influence and known safehouses. They’d had successes, but loose ends could lead to resurgence if they weren’t careful.Erica glanced at the marked map, cross-referencing with her notes. "Since Cross turned on her, Ophelia's network has fractured significantly. Her reach is weaker than ever."Julian nodded, eyes scanning the map with a steely determination. “It’s time to push through to the end. We’ve spent months chasing shadows. Now, we hit them head-on, taking down every last cell.”Erica’s eyes met Julian’s. “Our teams know the risks. They’re ready. We’ll divide and take down her remaining operatives tonight.”One of the senior operatives, Leah, shifted in her seat, looking between Julian and Erica. “What if O

The dim light of the warehouse flickered as Erica and Julian reviewed the newly uncovered documents. The air was thick with tension, the weight of the conspiracy pressing down on them like a suffocating blanket. They had uncovered a web of deceit that went far beyond Ophelia’s machinations—this was a betrayal that seeped into the very foundations of Erica’s life.“Look at this,” Julian said, pointing to a series of contracts laid out on the table. “These signatures—they’re all forged. It looks like your father’s name was used to funnel money out of the company.”Erica leaned closer, her heart racing as she scanned the details. The implications were staggering. “These people were stealing from my father for years,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “They took everything he built and twisted it for their gain.”Julian nodded, his expression grim. “We need to take them down, but we have to be careful. If they catch wind that we’re onto them, they’ll do anything to silence us.”

The atmosphere was thick with tension as Erica, Julian, and Lila crouched behind a stack of crates, the salty scent of the sea mixing with the adrenaline pulsing through their veins. They could hear the low murmur of voices from the gathering, punctuated by the occasional clink of glass and the shuffle of feet on the gravel.Erica focused her attention on the group, her heart racing as she strained to catch every word. Julian was silently adjusting the camera, ensuring they captured everything. Lila’s wide eyes flicked between the figures, her breath shallow with anticipation.“...we need to be ready for any surprises,” her grandfather’s voice boomed, cutting through the murmur. “Erica’s been digging too deep. If she gets wind of our plans, it could all unravel.”A shiver ran down Erica’s spine. She had suspected that her grandfather was involved in the company’s darker dealings, but hearing him speak so openly about her felt like a betrayal of monumental proportions.“We can’t let he

It was a quiet afternoon when Erica received a message from the receptionist in the lobby, telling her that an unexpected visitor had arrived. The name on the visitor log made Erica’s heart skip a beat.Ophelia’s mother.She hadn’t seen or heard from her in years. This was the woman who had been complicit in Ophelia’s schemes, who had chosen time and time again to side against Erica. Now, she was here, asking for a meeting, and Erica couldn’t quite fathom why.Curiosity mixed with caution, Erica agreed to see her. Moments later, the doors to her office opened, and there she was—older, slightly frailer, with an expression that seemed as if it were weighed down by regret.“Thank you for seeing me,” she said softly, her voice carrying a tremble that Erica had never heard before.Erica gestured to the chair in front of her desk. “Please, sit down.”Once seated, Ophelia’s mother took a deep, shaky breath. Her eyes were distant, filled with memories and perhaps even shame. Erica watched her

The day began like any other. Erica was deep into a work project, her desk scattered with notes and half-written memos, when her assistant stepped into her office, a small, nondescript envelope in hand.“Mrs. Benson, this came in the mail for you,” she said, holding out the envelope with a curious expression. “It looks… personal.”Erica glanced up, surprised. She rarely received personal letters, and the handwriting was unfamiliar. She thanked her assistant and took the envelope, studying it for a moment before carefully opening it. Inside, on thick, weathered paper, was a letter. And when she saw the signature at the bottom, her heart nearly stopped.The letter was from her grandfather.For a moment, Erica simply stared at the paper, memories flooding back—the man who had once been her hero, the one she had trusted, only to discover his hand in the betrayal that nearly shattered her life. The man who had chosen ambition over family. Her hands trembled as she began to read.---My Dea

The auditorium was alive with excitement, and an air of both celebration and finality hung in the room. Parents clutched their phones, ready to capture each precious moment, while teachers and staff exchanged proud glances. Erica and Julian sat near the front, their hands intertwined, as they watched the graduates line up on stage, looking every bit the young adults they had become. Among them stood Olivia, her cap perched perfectly on her head, her gown shimmering slightly in the lights."Can you believe this is it?" Erica whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. "It feels like just yesterday we were dropping her off for her first day of kindergarten."Julian squeezed her hand, his own eyes shining with pride. "She was so nervous that day, remember? And now look at her, standing up there with so much confidence. She’s grown into such a remarkable young woman."They exchanged a look filled with the silent language of parents who had witnessed every laugh, every tear, and every mom

The weeks following Olivia’s first day of school felt like a new chapter, not only in her life but in Erica and Julian’s as well. Their routines changed subtly; mornings were now filled with the hustle of preparing Olivia for school, and the evenings were quieter, spent unwinding as a family. But in between these moments, Erica and Julian had found a new rhythm—a way to focus on each other and reclaim parts of themselves that had been buried under the demands of work and family.One Thursday, Erica decided to surprise Julian with a weekend getaway. It had been a long time since they’d taken a break from everything, and she knew they both needed it. She had everything planned, from arranging Olivia’s stay with her grandparents to booking a secluded cabin by the lake. As she placed the envelope with the details on Julian’s desk, she watched the spark of excitement in his eyes.“A weekend away, just us?” he asked, his tone laced with both surprise and eagerness.She nodded, her eyes shin

The house was calm, filled with a quiet energy as Erica and Julian stood side by side, watching Olivia head off for her first day at school. The silence, though strange, brought a rare sense of freedom.After a few moments, Julian wrapped his arm around her shoulders and whispered, “I missed you. The you that didn’t have to juggle a million things all at once.”Erica glanced up, a smile softening her expression. “Well, you might be stuck with that version of me for a while,” she teased, her fingers brushing his hand on her shoulder. “But today…today, it’s just us.”Without missing a beat, Julian led her to the kitchen, where he’d already set out coffee and breakfast. They ate in a comfortable silence, just enjoying each other’s presence, laughing over their daughter’s antics and sharing stories that seemed so distant yet so close.When breakfast was done, Julian leaned across the counter, his gaze warm and steady. “How about we take the day off, make a little escape?” His voice was lo

Years passed, and the life Erica and Julian built together grew stronger, more beautiful with each new chapter. Their challenges and triumphs had turned into stories they told Olivia, now a lively young girl with her mother’s determination and her father’s calm strength. She filled their home with laughter and a spirit that made every day an adventure.On a warm afternoon, Erica, Julian, and Olivia gathered in their lush garden for a small family celebration. Erica had organized the day as a way to honor not only the love they shared but the journey that had brought them here—a journey that started with struggle but had become one of fulfillment, peace, and joy.Julian was setting up a small picnic table, arranging flowers that Olivia had picked herself, while Erica laid out food and drinks. The sky was a clear blue, with a gentle breeze that whispered through the trees. It was the perfect setting, a beautiful reminder of everything they had overcome.As they settled down, Olivia clim

The following morning, Erica awoke to the soft glow of sunlight spilling across the room. Julian was still asleep, his hand resting lightly over hers. She took a moment to savor the tranquility of their bedroom, the calmness so different from the frantic life they once led. Her heart felt full as she thought about the journey that had brought them here—the triumphs, the losses, and all the moments in between.Careful not to disturb him, she slipped out of bed and made her way downstairs, her footsteps quiet on the familiar path. In the kitchen, she found Olivia perched on a stool, her little face beaming with excitement as she tried to help Lila prepare breakfast. Lila, always patient, was showing her how to stir pancake batter without spilling, though Olivia’s enthusiastic stirring occasionally sent little splashes onto the countertop.“Good morning, my little chef,” Erica greeted, kissing Olivia on the forehead.Olivia giggled, looking proudly at her mixture. “Mama! Look, I’m making

The morning sun cast a warm glow across the family room as Erica and Julian sat on the floor with Olivia, now almost three years old, who was enthusiastically arranging her collection of stuffed animals. Her little fingers worked with careful concentration as she lined them up, occasionally glancing up at her parents to make sure they were watching.Julian chuckled, giving Olivia an approving nod. “Perfect line-up, Olivia! Those animals look like they’re ready for their next adventure.”Olivia beamed, her green eyes—a striking mix of Erica and Julian’s shades—lighting up with pride. “They’re going to a big party!” she declared, arranging a tiny teddy bear in the center as if it were the guest of honor. “Mama, Papa, you come too?”Erica and Julian exchanged amused glances. "How could we say no to an invitation like that?" Erica replied, joining Olivia and seating herself at the edge of the circle of toys.With each passing day, Erica and Julian marveled at how much Olivia was growing—h

As the sun rose over the estate, Erica sat on the balcony, gazing out over the gardens that she and Julian had carefully restored. The scent of blooming roses drifted through the air, mingling with the early morning breeze. Julian soon joined her, bringing two cups of coffee, his quiet presence offering a comforting warmth.“How are you feeling?” Julian asked softly, his gaze tracing the distant hills.Erica smiled, her eyes reflecting a mix of nostalgia and contentment. “Sometimes it feels like a different lifetime,” she replied, thinking back to everything she had endured, everything that had shaped her into the person she was now. From her life before, to her battles to protect her father’s legacy, to finding love and building something entirely her own.Today, she and Julian had planned to visit her old childhood home—a place she hadn’t been to since her life was filled with battles and power struggles. The thought stirred something deep within her, a pull toward the past she had
