Chapter 15 DAHLIA “I did,” Ronan Knight casually said, he leaned on the wall and had his hands inside his pocket. “Excuse me?” I looked at him like he had lost his mind. “That explains why he got to you first,” Anita exclaimed. “What are you even doing here?” I turned and casted Anita a glance. Yes, she might have told me about how I was being used by Desmond and his family, but that doesn't mean she isn't part of it. I didn't trust her and definitely didn't feel comfortable with her around me. Her constant drama and cries made me even more wary of her. In fact, it wasn't just about her, I don't think I'll ever be able to trust anyone aside from myself. “Dahlia, I….I'm on your side,” Anita reached for my hand. This time, I shifted backwards, avoiding making any contact with her. “Leave,” I spoke up. “Dahlia….” She called out. “I do not want to repeat myself again, leave Anita….Every single one of you hurt me badly. You all took the one thing I want so dearly away fr

Chapter 16 DAHLIA “Desmond published it. Look, that's your name, and picture too.” “What?” I snatched the phone from her, and true to her words, that was my photo. I read through the despicable lies Desmond wrote about me. One of many being how he had caught me countless times with other men and how I'd turn him into a slave simply because I helped his family in their time of need. “What the hell is this? How dare he? What the heck is he trying to achieve with this? Hasn't he done enough?” I asked multiple questions all at once, yet I never got an answer for any. “We have a problem,” Ronan Knight's assistant called for my attention. “What is it this time?” I snapped, so pissed off, that I picked up the lamp on the side table and smashed it on the floor. “The hospital's entrance is filled with the press. It seems like your husband gave out your location,” he announced. “We can leave through the back door,” Anita suggested, and Blake nodded to it. “Why the hell will I leave thr

Chapter 17 DAHLIA “You bitch!” Desmond fisted his palm, glaring at me. But then, I kept crying even loudly. Every action displayed by him was recorded by the press and filled me with a sense of satisfaction. Soon, I was rushed back into the hospital to get my wound treated. Once everyone cleared to let the doctor do his job, I stopped screaming and silently watched him treat the rather small wound. “I can't believe you did this!” Anita rushed into the room, glaring at me. “What's with you, acting like my mum. I already told you to leave me alone, didn't I?” I glared at her. “I'm going to get Mr. Knight. You're being very unreasonable right now,” Anita retorted and with that, she walked out. I scoffed, looking down at the wound on my arm. Stabbing myself was a last minute decision, honestly. After getting my medical files from my doctor earlier, I had sneaked into the bathroom, just to injure myself a bit. I mean Desmond painted me to be the bad one and the abuser, so what ot

Chapter 18 DAHLIA “What was that Mr. Knight?” I confronted him the moment Desmond shut the door. I just couldn't understand why kept involving himself in my business. “Who are you to detect what he would do with my things?” He never said a word and simply walked closer to me, took my hand and began to inspect my treated wound. “What the hell is wrong with you!” I pushed him away from me, but then he didn't budge. He kept looking down at my wounds, his face twisting in distaste. “I just asked you a question, Mr. Knight. What do you want from me. Why do you keep involving yourself in my business? Why are you always appearing right next to me….” “I leave you for just one minute, Dahlia and you end up in the hospital. You hurt yourself every single time I take my eyes away from you, even for just a second. Why does trouble follow you around?” He seemed mad and looked up at me, staring so intensely at me that I could feel his stare right inside my soul.” “Well…I don't nee

Chapter 19 DAHLIA “Let's go in,” he gestured for me to return back to his side. I clenched my fist, this was all Desmond's fault, if not for his stupidity, I would have been in the comfort of my home and not here with a man I know nothing about his intentions for me. I dragged my foot back to where he stood. “Let me borrow some money from you. I'll pay back later,” I looked up at him. He didn't utter a word and simply walked away. I stood watching him leave, but then he turned around. “Aren't you coming?” He raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and dragged myself over to him. We never uttered a word to each other and simply approached the huge manor. My face held no emotions, but deep down I was grateful to him. Even though I didn't know what he wanted from me, I was still thankful that he showed up for me when everyone else didn't. If not for him, I would be on the streets rights now. The moment we got to the entrance, two grand doors were pushed open. What welcomed me was

Chapter 20 DAHLIA My eyes bulged out at the revelation. “What?” “Push your eyes back in, this is just the beginning,” she made a lame joke attempt. “The truth is Desmond believes he would have a better future with Roselle than you. The entire time you were working hard and securing business deals, I mean back when you overworked yourself so much that you couldn't get pregnant, Desmond was with Roselle, planning a future with her. Every single penny you made for the company was transfered to DMD, a company Desmond opened under Roselle's name...Roselle handles it.” My hands were trembling and my ears was hurting from hearing how much of a fool I've been. “After you took your long break from the company. Desmond transferred most of the employees to DMD, and fired the ones loyal to you, then brought in new employees. I swore my loyalty to him and that was why he let me stay….I almost forgot to add that he fired the former manager and made your dad the manager…” “What the heck? All

Chapter 21 DAHLIA Listening to Sophia really opened my eyes to my foolishness. Her words opened my eyes to the stupid things I did all in the name of love. I used to be a hard working business woman who puts her business first. I used to work so hard that I get nosebleeds most times, but that never deterred me from working hard. After meeting Desmond, I kept working even harder, all until I got the news about how I couldn't get pregnant. But these were my past now, the past that will shape my future. My wrong decisions was beginning to hurt the people very close to me, first was my child, and now Sophia selling out herself just to bring me back to my senses. “I'll be leaving now, Dahlia.” She pulled me into a hug, picked up her bag and headed over to the door. “Sophia!” I called out right before she walked out the door. She turned around and looked at me, smiling. “I'm sorry,” I mumbled with my head bowed. “I'll get back the company and apologize properly,” I smiled at her.

Chapter 22 DAHLIA “Lastly, After your divorce, you'll go on ten dates with Mr. Knights. That's all.” I stayed silent for about a minute, just staring at the file. To make sure my ears weren't deceiving me. I mean, who gives out a multi million dollar company this way. I've heard of Helixx, in fact I don't think there is a single business person in Dralwood that hasn't heard of Helixx. The company was always closing deals with the Knights. And right now, I finally found the reason as to why they could easily access business contracts with the Knights. Ronan Knight owned it, wow! “How many hidden businesses does this man have?” At that moment, I realized he wasn't just a multi millionaire like the entire country thought. This man was a trillionaire or even much more than that. “Well, since he has this much, giving out just one company wouldn't hurt him,” I mumbled to myself. “I'll take the company,” I said aloud. And stretched out my hand for Blake to hand me a pen. He took a

Chapter 107DAHLIA“You've always prioritised DAHL. DAHL is the only thing you've worked on that turned out successful, you'd do anything for DAHL. These were your words, not mine. What happened, Sophia? Why are you suddenly deciding to leave the company you sacrificed for?” I was taken aback by Sophia's sudden declaration of quitting.I mean she has always placed DAHL first even before herself.“I haven't been completely honest with you, Dahlia. But let's leave it at that. You can run DAHL on your own now, it's stable and functioning. We've saved the company from bankruptcy, you no longer need me here….”I tried to talk, to stop her from this madness. It all didn't make sense, last time we spoke, she was talking about Gavin Bright inviting us for a meeting and now this? Sophia has been with me right from the first day I started this company. When I backslide and handed DAHL to Desmond, she stayed to keep it from collapsing and now? She was suddenly quitting, no prior discussion, just

Chapter 106DAHLIA The sun rays hitting my eyes made me open them. Ronan and I had been so caught up last night that we slept without closing any of the windows. It was a blissful night, one I would never forget in a hurry.My hand reached to hold Ronan's, but his side of the bed was empty ... cold. Like he has been gone for a long time.I reached for my handbag on the nightstand, pulling out my phone and checking the time.“What the heck?” The words left my mouth upon seeing the time.It was past 9am and I was late for work. I raced out of bed, nearly tripping to the floor.“Shit. I'd have to go back to the manor to dress up.” I mumbled. It seemed like I'd end up arriving at work by noon.As I walked around the room, looking for my undies and clothes. The door was pushed open and Ronan walked in.“I already told Sophia you'll be coming in late today,” Ronan updated me, walking further into the room.I let out a little sigh of relief.“I should probably head back home now to get read

Chapter 105DAHLIARonan and I collapsed on the bed in exhaustion. We'd been going on and on for hours. At one point, I thought the bed was going to break, but it held on strong. Ronan filled me like no man has ever done. The way our bodies moved in sync. Him going in and out of me, me, grasping his hair. Moaning out his name. It was one of a kind and made me feel very special.I kissed Ronan's lips, deepening the kiss and roaming my tongue inside his mouth.“Easy there, we might end up going for another round,” he joked, pulling away from the kiss.I chuckled.“That'd be lovely.”Ronan paused, looking at me.“Aren't you exhausted? You're even panting….”“Yeah, but I'm still up for more rounds,” I winked at him.“Dahlia, you…” he shook his head, smiling and got out of the bed.I got out too, following him into the bathroom. There we had a hot bath. That didn't only involve bathing but some ass slapping and grinding too. By the time we finally got out of the bathroom, it was past midni
His Betrayal, My Redemption 104
Chapter 104 BRANDON Ronan contacted me earlier today, asking me to drive Dahlia straight to his mansion. At first, I didn't understand why he said that, but when Blake showed up and explained everything to me, I understood perfectly. I expected him to call Dahlia and update her on this new development but he didn't. I on the other hand didn't want to do it for him. I didn't want to be the one to break the news to Dahlia and watch her heart shatter. I knew she has come to love the manor. The once liveless building Ronan had decorated like a cemetery was now so full of life, the living room was nothing like before. It was vibrant and looked even more rich now. Dahlia, suddenly leaving all these behind and moving to some new place with no explanation would annoy and stress her badly. She isn't just a kid that could be moved around. Even kids are informed when they're moving. Moments like this are when I detest Ronan. But seeing how much Dahlia loves him, I try to be supportive, find

Chapter 103 DAHLIA “If you step out of this room. Then this relationship is over. I'm done trying to make it work. Go on, Ronan. Leave, turn your back on me. I don't care anymore,” I said, my voice firm. Ronan, walking away after I put on all that drama to finally get the two of us together. To finally make time for us to talk was the final straw for me. Having to go to this extent to get his attention was exhausting and worse, he just wants to walk away “Let's walk away from each other's lives. If that is what you prefer ... .Let's get facts straight, you walked into my life first, and so I'll do the walking out. You forced yourself into my life, went out of your way for me, forced me into a marriage. And now what? You're outrightly ignoring me. I'm done.” I rose from the bed, pulling his shirt over my head, leaving me in just my camisole and undies. I looked around looking for where he dropped my blazer and pants but they were nowhere in sight. I turned to Ronan who was still

Chapter 102 DAHLIA “What?” I gazed wide-eyed at him. “I think you know exactly what I mean, Dahlia,” Brandon smiled. His smile wasn't like his usual friendly smile, it made me recoil and take steps backwards. He took a step towards me, that smile still on his face “Brandon? What are you doing? Take me back home right now!” I demanded He kept coming. “I'll scream!” I said with all seriousness. “We're in the middle of nowhere,” he countered. And that did it. I let out an ear piercing scream, one I was sure would be heard from miles away. Only then did Brandon take several steps backwards, raising his hands in surrender. “Mr. Knight is here. I know he has been avoiding you. He'll come out now if you keep screaming,” Brandon winked at me. I narrowed my eyes on him. He flashed me a smile. “I'm serious. You haven't been happy all day. I thought I could help.” “Thank you, Brandon,” I said, really grateful for his help. “But don't scare me like that again. I added a serious wa

Chapter 101 GAVIN “You did what?” Sophia yelled at the top of her voice, her fist clenched like she'd punch me if given the chance to. I took a step away from her. She covered the distance I just put between us. “Gavin, I thought better of you. Dahlia is your cousin for God's sake. You are supposed to be helping her recover, not making things worse!” “That's exactly what I'm doing, Sophia. Do not lecture me.” I love Sophia but during times like this, during times where we have misunderstandings. I absolutely detest being around her. “Really? Tell me how you're doing that. By trying to make her remember a conversation she has long forgotten. You gave her a freaking headache and what now? You decided to send her deranged step sister to her company. If that's your idea of helping her, then I have no idea what the hell I've been doing with you….” I turned, eyes widened and looked at her. “Really? You're going to pull our relationship into this? We've been together for over ten yea

Chapter 100 DAHLIA Walking back into my office, Blake followed closely behind me. “Did you by any chance inform Roselle about you owning this place?” Blake asked. I faced him, still offended by the stupid stunt he pulled minutes ago. “First of all, Blake. I run this place. You do not get to block my path. You do not get to decide who I see and who I don't. It's an absolute disrespect to me. I am your boss’ wife and trust me, I can be stricter than Ronan,” I warned. He nodded at my words, in what I consider fake understanding. Ronan must have put him up to this. Tell me what the assistant of a large conglomerate CEO was doing at my office at 11pm, the pique of work hours. “I understand. I apologize for how I acted. Believe me, it was all on reflex,” he bowed his head. I scoffed. “You're forgiven. Go and sin no more,” I made a lame joke for no apparent reason. Clearing my throat, I spoke again. “For your question. I have no reason to tell Roselle about Helixx. I also haven't
His Betrayal, My Redemption 099
Chapter 99 DAHLIA “What the hell are you doing?” I narrowed my eyes at Blake, rising from my seat and approaching him. Blake said no words, instead, he further moved to block my view of the door even more. “Please, go take a seat,” I gestured at my seat, infuriating me. “What do you mean by that?” I didn't even give him the chance to respond, I shoved him aside, hurrying to the door. The moment I pushed it open, what welcomed me was Brandon pulling a lady away. “Stop,” I called out to him, my voice firm and strict. This was my company after all, these two men had no right to turn away my visitor no matter who it turns out to be. Brandon halted, I could see his fist clench but it didn't bother me one bit. He overstepped today and I was going to reprimand him for that later. I walked up to them, pulling Brandon's hold off the lady's arm. I turned her around to look at me – Roselle. My eyes met that of my assistant who was still standing by the side, confusion evident in he
