His Betrayal, My Redemption 042
Chapter 42 DAHLIA After showering, I took my time to dress up. I wore a pink blazer over a black camisole and black pants. Then I pulled my hair up in a ponytail. To complete the look, I wore a pink stiletto and matched it with a black bag. Then headed out the room. “We're going on a date, Dahlia. Not a business meeting?” Ronan stopped me the moment I stepped out of the room. It seems he had been waiting right outside the door. “Who said I'm going on a date with you today?” “Don't….” He began but I cut him off. “We should amend the contract. I can't forfeit business just to be on a date today….Excuse me, I have somewhere important to be,” I walked around him and headed for the stairs. But then, he wasn't letting go that easily. “Go down those stairs and you'll be denied entry into this manor,” he threatened. I paused, then looked at him, smiled and went down the stairs. He didn't say any other word. I found my way down the stairs. “Grandpa, I have urgent business to atte

Chapter 43 DAHLIA I felt very disappointed in Tony but I didn't dwell on it. Once I got out of the elevator. I pulled out my phone and dialled Sophia's number. The phone was still ringing when the elevator dinged. I got out. But just a step towards the exit, someone bumped into me. It was Roselle. She looked up at me, her eyes holding so much anger and resentment. I hung up, knowing she just wouldn't let me walk away without putting up a little show. “Who let you in here!” Roselle asked, coming to stand right in front of me. I smirked “The company is called DAHL, not Roselle. I should be asking you that question,” I purposely taunted her. She glared at me. “The company is indeed called DAHL but my man owns it….” “That's because your man is a filthy thief. A nobody….” Roselle laughed. “Are you angry, Dahlia? Does Desmond taking this company from you annoy you?” She flashed me a mocking smile. I understood what she was trying to do. She wanted to piss me off for whatever re

Chapter 44 DAHLIA After Sophia texted me the location, I took a cab and soon, I arrived. It was a run down café in a shabby neighbourhood. I had to double check to make sure I was at the right place, and indeed I was. I was still standing outside the café, contemplating whether it was safe to just walk in, when I sighted Sophia from the café’s window, she was raising a brow at me. I sighed and walked in. Then took a seat right in front of her. “I'm glad you made it,” she smiled at me. I returned the smile too. “Please, tell me there is a special reason why you chose this place,” I mumbled, eyeing the expresso the server had just brought me cautiously. Do not blame me, I have no problem with Sophia. But I wasn't comfortable taking anything offered by anyone. “I didn't want to risk being seen by anyone,” Sophia explained. She looked down at my expresso. “You can drink that. It isn't poisoned,” she gave out a taunting smile. I chuckled. “Maybe next time. I don't feel like drin

Chapter 45 RONAN Stubborn, that should be Dahlia's middle name. I've never seen a lady who is as hot headed as Dahlia. This morning when Jane spilled the wine on her, it was totally an accident. At least, I can attest to that as my eyes have been on Dahlia all morning. But no, the stubborn woman thinks everyone is after her. I hated how that bastard made her sensitive and irrational sometimes. I mean, why would the caregiver target her? They were just meeting for the first time and had no ties whatsoever with each other. They have never even had a conversation before. I hated the fact that Dahlia was making her personality all about the betrayal. If she continues this way, she wouldn't be able to make any meaningful connections or relationships and it bothered me. When I pointed out her mistake and she got offended and left canceling our date, I was pissed and for once, I wanted her to choose. Choose between helping me put my grandfather at ease and whatever business she had out

Chapter 46 DAHLIA No other words were uttered between Ronan and me. I have never seen him this quiet before. The moment Blake informed him of his grandfather’s condition. He grabbed my arm, barely giving me a chance to protest. Not that I was going to protest or anything. I just let him pull me along. The entire drive back to the manor was in silence–an uncomfortable silence. But it was bearable and soon, we arrived. Blake was waiting right outside the manor. “What happened to him?” Ronan asked, rushing inside the house, I trailed behind him. “I found him lying at the bottom of the stairs. Apparently, he fell while trying to go down the stairs on his own,” Blake explained. “Where was the caregiver?” I butted in. The moment I asked that, I caught sight of her, kneeling right in the centre of the living room. “What the heck were you doing when he fell down the stairs!” Ronan roared, his demeanor intimidating and aura blazing dangerously. He looked like he could strangle the yo

Chapter 47 RONAN “Were you able to find anything?” I asked Blake. We both were at the back of the manor, talking in hushed tones. I didn't trust anyone and that was why I have very few maids at home, that was the reason I live alone. My grandfather had somehow fallen off the stairs, which was suspicious and what made it even worse is that the CCTV footage had suddenly stopped working right from the day he arrived at the manor. “I’ll be questioning everyone here at the manor….Dahlia too…” “Leave Dahlia out of this. Do not give her a reason to feel unsafe here,” I snapped. Blake nodded and then continued. “It seems like Kennedy is back. Your grandfather seems to have fallen on purpose too….” “Stop,” I hushed him. Someone seemed to be eavesdropping on our conversation. Someone dumb enough to forget about her shadow….Dahlia. Amidst my worries, a smile tugged my lips. I watched her run away, then turned to Blake. “Gather everyone here, right now….Leave Anita and Dahlia. I'll

Chapter 48 DAHLIA I thought Ronan noticed me eavesdropping on them. But thankfully he didn't. The moment he tried to find out who was listening, I retraced my steps and once I was out of ear shot. I ran back into the manor house. I was seated on the bed, trying to catch my breath, when he walked in. He looked pissed and didn't even knock. I thought I had been caught after all but he was surprisingly here for an entirely different reason. “I have a proposal for you, Dahlia. One that will change your life forever….” I stared at him for a few seconds, wondering what he was up to this time around. He wasn't going to make me sign another contract again? “What proposal?” I let up, rising to my feet and standing right in front of him. “Marry me.” His words struck me like thunderbolts. That word. That one word that ruined my life ‘marriage’ My breathing hitched. I panicked. I had no control over it, but it seemed like that one word was sucking life out of me. I staggered backwards,

Chapter 49 DAHLIA I found it hard to sleep the entire night. I kept tossing and turning. I was very uncomfortable. At one point, I wanted to just abandon everything and leave. Afterall, I would be getting the $5 million from Desmond soon. I could start something for myself with it. I was strong and independent. I would be able to do it. And so, I rose from the bed and sneaked to the door. But to my dismay. It was locked. Ronan had locked me up in his room. I clenched my fist and went back to bed. I spent the entire night cursing and turning, by morning I had dark circles, but I had made my decision. I got out of bed, brushed, showered and got dressed. Then sat on the bed, patiently waiting for Ronan. I knew he would show up soon. Less than five minutes later, the door was unlocked. Ronan walked in, a plate of oatmeal in his hand. “Eat,” he handed me the plate. I eyed the food cautiously. “I'm good,” I pushed it back to him. “I'll let you successfully trick me, Ronan. The marr

His Betrayal, My Redemption 107
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
His Betrayal, My Redemption 106
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
His Betrayal, My Redemption 100
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
