His Betrayal, My Redemption 046
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

Chapter 50 RONAN “Sir, the company's entrance has been crowded by the press,” Blake stood before me, looking worked up. I waved him off. “Allow them. They'll leave soon. Do not interrupt me again…” “But sir…” He tried to speak further, making me look up from the files on my table. “I'll go back to my work then,” he lowered his head and turned around to walk away. My sudden and quiet marriage with Dahlia must have taken them by surprise. After All they were the ones spreading rumours of me not liking women and with the appearance of that bastard, the rumours intensified. I didn't marry Dahlia because of a mere rumour, it was much deeper than that. Her safety is my priority and to keep her safe, I made her my bride. Sighing, I tried to focus back on my work, but then my phone buzzed. It was a text. I never get texted by anyone….unless it's, Dahlia. She had been so pissed off that she couldn't bear to stand next to me earlier, I wondered why she was suddenly texting me. I pick

Chapter 51 DAHLIA I guess listening to Blake and Ronan that night had indirectly affected me without my knowledge. I completely made a harmless hearing challenged man into some sort of kidnapper. But it wasn't my fault, Ronan had also been talking about bodyguards way too much. When I finally tapped the man's back, he dropped me off and apologised. By then, I had already texted Ronan asking for help. I blamed it all on my subconsciousness. I had unconsciously learned to lean on Ronan for help. Somehow, I trusted him even though I'd never admit that. Despite how he has been treating me recently, I trusted him. Just when I pulled out my phone to tell him I was okay and my first text had been a false alarm, his car pulled up. He walked out of the car like he was straight out of a magazine cover. For the first time I saw Ronan Knight wearing just his pants and shirt–an unbuttoned shirt. The first four buttons of his shirt were undone and he had glistening beads of sweat on his forehe

Chapter 52 DAHLIA I was seated on my bed, scrolling through my phone. I was doing a little more research about Helixx, trying to gather as much information as I could about the company, since I'll be officially taking over tomorrow. I needed to know much more than the information the files Ronan handed me contained. “Michelle Crane,” I tried to memorise the name of the woman Ronan had informed me would be my assistant. A knock sounded on my door, causing me to break eye contact from my phone. I walked over to the door and pulled it open. “Why aren't you in my room?” Ronan asked the instant the door opened. “I'll go there when I want to sleep,” I mumbled. I needed to continue what I was doing. I didn't have the time and the strength to engage in any argument. “Come with me.” He grabbed my arm, not giving me a chance to utter a word, then he pulled me out of the room. “We're going to tell my old man about our marriage. I want you to be on your best behaviour. Don't give

Chapter 53 DAHLIA I felt something warm on my body. Something so soothing that I snuggled closer, pushing myself into it and breathing out in satisfaction. My object of warmth suddenly reverberated. What followed was a chuckle. My eyes snapped open instantly, the first thing I saw was Ronan's face. He had an amused smirk, while staring down at me. “What the hell are you doing?” I glared at him, quickly moving back to my side of the bed. He tilted his head. “Really? You assaulted me in your sleep. Used me. And now, you're acting like I did it?” Ronan pointed accusing fingers at me. “I didn't…..” I sent him another glare. “You're bare chested! Weren't you clothed last night?” He shrugged. “You enjoyed the warmth,” a grin appeared on his lips. “You!! You're shameless,” I spat. Before I could control myself, my leg shot out, kicking his waist, making him fall off the bed He chuckled, then got up and climbed back in. “You climbed the walls you put up and snuggl

Chapter 89 BRANDON “Dahlia had a head injury. She suffered a concussion. She is in a coma right now,” I filled Ronan in on Dahlia's medical status. “What?” He let out, completely in shock. “Good news is the coma is a medically induced one. She will be woken up depending on how she responds to treatment….” “How did she even end up here?” He asked. He looked completely disoriented, this would be my first time seeing him this way, somehow I knew I made the right decision bringing him here even though everyone thinks otherwise. “She banged her head twice on whatever caused her to pass out. The impact caused her a brain bleed– which isn't too serious, according to the doctor. Her brain swelled a little. The coma was a last resort to prevent any further damage to her brain. She’ll be woken up in about 72 hours or more. Let's just hope she responds positively to treatment….” I watched him, he was listening, paying attention to every single word. Regret boldly written on his face. “A

Chapter 88 RONAN Watching Dahlia leave broke me. Emotions I never knew I was capable of feeling, flooded my senses. I watched her slam the door, not even turning to look at me once. I messed up, big time. “Fuck!” I cursed, eyes glossy. Whoever put out the belief that men don't cry must not have disappointed the love of their life, they must have not experienced their love walking out of their life. I rose from the couch the moment Dahlia shut the door, running my hands through my hair, I cussed. Not at anyone, but at myself for messing up the one stable relationship I've ever had in my life. For pushing away the one person I knew would have my back through thick and thin. Once I heard the sound of her car getting started outside, I knew it was over. “Are you just going to let her walk away like that?” Blake barged into the living room. Blake who cared about no one but himself, Blake who's never confronted me, did that today. “I don't deserve her,” I found myself answerin

Chapter 87 DAHLIA I found it hard to believe I was just some pawn in Ronan’s grand game. Heck, I thought I was lucky, I thought the universe had given me a second chance at love. But I have never been more wrong. Hearing these things about Ronan made my head ache. I questioned my life, I questioned everything I've known about him. Sitting there and listening to them, I could feel my head beginning to hurt. When they revealed Brandon was my brother, I lost it. Every single person next to me was involved in this lie. I didn't know what to believe again. Turns out I know nothing about myself. I should have known Brandon wouldn't go beyond his way to make me comfortable and protect me merely because he was being paid. The signs had been there, him going out of his way to keep me safe, going on errands unrelated to his job, hating the mere mention of Desmond. I should have known it wasn't just loyalty. “Enough. I've heard enough for one day,” I hushed them all. “I'll be leaving now,”

Chapter 86 RONAN Blake was the one who alerted me to Dahlia holding a press conference. I didn't understand the need for her to do that, to put herself out there, on the spotlight like that. And worse, my father's eyes were now back on her. Knowing him, he'd find a way to turn that conference in his favour and humiliate Dahlia. And so, I ordered for her to be taken off that stage. What I never expected was to come home and meet another Dahlia. I never knew she had a twin. It was my first time hearing such. Not knowing what the so- called twin was after, I got Dahlia locked up in our room and decided to get the lady myself. Somehow, I lost her. It seemed I wasn't the only one after her. When I got home and Dahlia tried to leave, I couldn't let her go, not until I figure this whole thing out But my stubborn woman decided to hit me and flee. When she ran, I knew she'd get exhausted pretty soon and come back, I was so sure of that. But Brandon pulled up from nowhere and helped h

Chapter 85 DAHLIA The room got so serious with everyone's eyes on me, staring, waiting to see my reaction. At that point, I knew that whatever Gavin had to say would change my view on my life so far, it would break me and somehow I knew it might also ruin my relationship with Ronan. But I was willing to listen to put an end to this madness and go ahead with my life. I looked up at Gavin, he was staring at me, pity etched his face. He looked conflicted like he didn't want to be the one to say it. “What are you still waiting for Mr. Bright? Go ahead,” I urged him. He sighed. “I'm sure you already know your ex-husband and his family are scammers?” I nodded, it wasn't news anymore. “Well, the truth is. Desmond Sterlings was paid by Richard Knight to approach you, woo you and get married to you. You totally fell for it.” “What? I….have no reason to believe you…” I was saying but he raised his hand stopping me from speaking further. “You came to me with questions and I'm providing

Chapter 84 DAHLIA Brandon drove me to the Brights mansion. Getting there, the gates were readily opened like they'd been expecting us. I expected some kind security clearance, or something, considering the Brights were a billionaire family, almost on par with the Knights. Brandon drove in and parked the car, then we both got out. There were different men stationed at every part of the property. I expected them to question us but nothing. Instead one of them approached us and led us to the entrance. Brandon and I exchange puzzled glances. But said nothing. The door was pulled open, I walked in, Brandon behind me. I stepped into the huge, vibrant living room, my eyes met Gavin's. He gave me a warm smile. I didn't return it. I looked at the person right next to him. The former CEO of Brights Holdings, Donald Bright, my supposed father. I walked further in, then I felt someone's eyes on me. Turning in the direction of the gaze, I saw myself staring at me. I felt like looking at my

Chapter 83 DAHLIA “You let me get involved with Ronan knowing we might be siblings?” I was beyond mortified, staring at the woman. The woman who claims to be my mother. “What kind of mother are you!” I yelled. “I….I didn't know that, Dahlia…” “You didn't know what? Exactly what didn't you know? That you slept with Richard Knight? That he might be my father?” “I could have told you, but you pushed me away, you blocked my number, there was no way for me to reach out to you,” she cut me off. I stared at her. “Now you're putting the blame on me?” A laugh tore from me, a sarcastic one. “Whose fault was it that I pushed you away!” I yelled, approaching her. She rose from the couch as if her pants were on fire. “I've answered your questions, Dahlia. I've given you the answers you seek. Now, it's time for me to leave.” She picked up her bag and headed for the door. “Now, you're just going to leave after revealing these things? You'll just walk out that door after turning my whole

Chapter 82 DAHLIA “Today, I'm going to be exposing my Ex-husband Desmond Sterling’s crimes. I'm suing him for embezzlement too,” the lady on the phone announced. I exchanged puzzled glances with Anita. “So, you're not the real Dahlia?” She asked yet again. I rolled my eyes. “Seriously?” “Let's hear what she has to say and why she is claiming Desmond's her ex…” Seated there, I listened to my impersonator read out Desmond's wrong doings. Every single wrong doing of his seemed to have been documented by her. “To think I trusted and loved him blindly for five years….” She cried. “He embezzled funds from my company DAHL and nearly made it close down. I have evidence,” she threw some files to her audience. “I'm suing the entire Sterlings family for fraud and medical scam. I have submitted all evidence to the court…” she paused. “And to my dear sister Roselle, You're not exempted from all this. Once you're out of the hospital, you'll be facing a separate lawsuit. For e

Chapter 81 DAHLIA “You can't leave this room till I figure out this whole madness,” Ronan stated flatly, looking away from me and heading to the door. “No!” I let out, making him turn around. “Someone is out there impersonating me. Someone who bears my face. And what? You want me to stay here and wait? You want me to stay here and do nothing?!” “I'm not going to indulge you. Till I'm able to confirm who the real Dahlia is…” “The fuck? You can't even recognise your own wife? We've shared the bed for months. Yet you can't even differentiate me from an impersonator?” I was mad. Mad that someone out there was doing things under the guise of being me, more mad that Ronan, the man I've fallen for, the man I was betting my second chance on, the man I was willing to spend the rest of my life with, I was mad that he couldn't even differentiate me from some random woman, whom for some whatever twisted reason there is, bears my face. “I'm trying to help here, Da….” Ronan paused, avoid
