Ophelia’s POV

The next morning, I woke up with an unfamiliar lightness in my chest. My mind replayed the events of the previous night on a loop—Aaron’s lingering touches, his kisses, the way he had looked at me like I was the most precious thing in the world. It was intoxicating, and for the first time in years, I allowed myself to savor the happiness bubbling inside me.

But with that joy came the creeping tendrils of doubt. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Not with him. I had been so careful to keep my walls up, to focus on the plan and nothing else. Yet here I was, tumbling headfirst into emotions I wasn’t sure I was ready to handle.

I shook the thoughts away as I got ready for work, deciding to focus on the present rather than the million questions swirling in my head. Today was a new day, and I had to keep things professional—even if my heart begged to let the boundaries blur. When I arrived at the office, Aaron was already there, his tall figure leaning against my desk with a c

    Ophelia’s POV It was a Thursday morning when Aaron called me into his office, his voice crisp over the intercom. Though we had become more comfortable with each other behind closed doors, he remained as professional as ever during work hours, which only heightened the anticipation of seeing him. As I entered, I found him standing by his desk, a leather folder in hand. He wore a sharp navy-blue suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and made his steel-gray eyes even more striking. My heart did a familiar flutter, but I kept my expression neutral. “Close the door,” he said, his tone steady but carrying an undercurrent that made my pulse quicken. I obeyed, stepping further into the room. “What’s up?” He glanced at me briefly before handing me the folder. “We have a business meeting in New York. Tomorrow morning.” The casual way he said it made me blink in surprise. “New York?” He nodded. “It’s with a potential partner. They’re interested in expanding operations internationally, an

    Ophelia’s POV The morning after our rooftop dinner was unexpectedly calm. Aaron had left early for a business call, leaving me a note by the bedside table: Ophelia, I’ll be tied up for a few hours, but don’t plan anything for tonight. It’s my turn to surprise you. Aaron His words brought a smile to my lips. Over the past few weeks, Aaron’s gestures had gone from calculated and professional to deeply personal. Though he remained the sharp and confident businessman I had come to admire, there was a tenderness in his actions that felt reserved just for me. As the day passed, I found myself struggling to focus on work emails and tasks. My mind kept drifting back to Aaron’s note. What did he have planned? By the time evening rolled around, I had changed outfits three times before settling on a simple yet flattering burgundy dress. It hugged my curves but wasn’t over the top—perfect for whatever Aaron had in mind. When he knocked on my door, I opened it to find him standing there with a

    Ophelia’s POV The next morning, the sunlight streaming through the curtains woke me before the alarm could. I blinked, momentarily disoriented, until I realized where I was. Aaron’s suite. The memory of the previous night washed over me, bringing with it a rush of warmth. The stolen kisses, the laughter, the quiet vulnerability we had shared as we talked into the early hours—it felt like a dream. A beautiful, unexpected dream. I turned my head to find Aaron still asleep beside me on the couch, his arm draped over the backrest, his shirt slightly rumpled from the night before. He looked impossibly handsome, his face softened in sleep, the weight he always seemed to carry momentarily absent. For a moment, I allowed myself to stare at him. How had we gotten here? When I had first walked into his office months ago, I had thought of him as nothing more than a means to an end. A powerful ally who could help me get justice. But now, I couldn’t imagine my life without him. As if sensing

  • His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge   Chapter 108

    Ophelia’s POV The morning after was quiet, the kind of serene that made you wish time could stand still. Sunlight poured through the hotel room windows, painting the space in soft hues of gold. Aaron’s suite was luxurious but still somehow cozy. Sitting on the couch where we’d spent hours talking, I cradled the last sip of wine in my glass, replaying the events of the night before. I’d woken up in my own suite, of course, after a lingering goodbye and another heart-melting kiss at his door. But even now, with him out of sight, he lingered in every thought. A soft knock on my door broke through my reverie. My heart leaped as I crossed the room, already knowing who it would be. When I opened the door, Aaron stood there, casually dressed in a crisp white shirt and tailored slacks. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing strong forearms, and his signature smirk was firmly in place. “Good morning,” he said, holding up two coffee cups. “I figured you might need this.” “You’re officially

    Ophelia’s POV The flight back home felt surreal, as if the magical moments Aaron and I shared in New York had existed in a bubble. For days, it had been just the two of us—free from the pressures of work, secrets, and the looming shadows of the past. But as the city skyline faded into the horizon, reality slowly crept back in. Aaron had been quieter than usual during the flight, but his hand never left mine. It was a small gesture, yet it spoke volumes. We didn’t need words to fill the silence; the connection between us was enough. When the plane landed, a car was already waiting to take me back to my apartment. Aaron had his own driver standing by, but before we parted ways, he pulled me into an embrace that left me breathless. “Call me when you’ve settled in,” he murmured, his lips brushing against my ear. “I will,” I promised, my voice soft. As I watched him climb into his car and drive away, a pang of longing settled in my chest. Despite everything we had shared, I couldn’t sh

    Ophelia’s POV The morning began like any other, with the hum of routine pulling me from sleep and into the rhythm of the day. Caleb was already at the breakfast table, sleepily munching on toast while Nanny bustled about the kitchen. “Good morning, love,” I greeted him, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. “Morning, Mom,” he replied, his voice still thick with sleep. “Be good for Nanny today, okay? I’ll be back by dinner.” He nodded, giving me a small smile. While Caleb had always been a perceptive child, I could sense he’d noticed my subtle shifts lately—the long phone calls, the smiles I tried to hide, the way my mind seemed elsewhere at times. As I headed to work, my thoughts were consumed by the conversation Aaron and I had the night before. “It’s time we told Caleb,” Aaron had said, his tone firm but kind. “I don’t want to keep this from him, Ophelia. He deserves to know.” “I agree,” I had replied, though the thought made my stomach twist with nerves. Caleb was my world,

    Ophelia’s POV The next morning, the sun poured through my bedroom window, casting warm golden rays across the room. I stretched, the events of the previous night replaying in my mind. Caleb’s hesitant acceptance of Aaron filled me with a quiet sense of relief, but I knew this was just the beginning. After breakfast, I dropped Caleb off at school. He gave me a quick hug before darting off to join his friends, his usual carefree demeanor returning. Watching him bounce back so quickly made me realize just how resilient he was. Once Caleb was safely at school, I headed to work. Aaron’s car was already parked in its usual spot, and I felt a small flutter in my chest as I made my way to the building. When I stepped into Aaron’s office, he was standing by the window, his phone pressed to his ear. He turned at the sound of the door and smiled, gesturing for me to enter. “Yes, we’ll finalize the numbers by the end of the week,” he said into the phone. “Let me know if there are any changes

    Ophelia’s POV The days following our dinner at Aaron’s apartment brought a comforting sense of routine. Caleb had warmed up to Aaron more than I expected, and while he still seemed cautious, there was a noticeable ease in his demeanor whenever Aaron’s name came up. It was a small victory, but one that gave me hope. At work, Aaron and I maintained a delicate balance between professionalism and the growing warmth of our relationship. I found myself savoring the small, stolen moments—a glance held a little too long, his hand brushing mine as he handed over a file, or the way his voice softened when he spoke to me in private. This morning was no different. I walked into Aaron’s office, a stack of reports in hand, and found him already engrossed in a call. He looked up as I entered, his expression softening instantly. “Ophelia just walked in,” he said to the person on the other end of the line, his tone becoming brisk. “I’ll call you back.” He ended the call and leaned back in his cha

    Ophelia’s POV The days following my engagement to Aaron were nothing short of magical. It felt like the universe had finally smiled upon me, after everything I had endured. The nightmares of the past—Samara, Kent, the danger to Caleb—seemed to drift farther away with each passing day, replaced by something far more beautiful: the chance to build a future, a future filled with love, joy, and the promise of new beginnings. Aaron and I had taken to spending even more time together as we prepared for our wedding and the launch of my new business. Caleb, too, was more content than I’d ever seen him. It was as though the wounds of the past were healing, replaced by an undeniable sense of peace and happiness. One Saturday morning, I woke up early, as I often did, to find the soft rays of the sun filtering through the curtains of our bedroom. I smiled to myself as I turned over to see Aaron, still peacefully asleep beside me. His features were relaxed, the lines of tension from earlier m

    Ophelia’s POV Three months. It had been three months since everything turned upside down. Three months since the nightmare ended with the death of Samara and Kent’s final betrayal. Three months since Caleb and I were rescued from their grasp, and Aaron had stepped into our lives in ways I couldn’t have ever imagined. I leaned against the window of Aaron’s penthouse, watching the city lights shimmer below. The hustle and bustle of the world outside felt so distant now, like a memory I wasn’t sure I wanted to revisit. The pain and chaos of the past were slowly fading into the background, and the future—my future—was taking shape in ways I never thought possible. I glanced over at Caleb, who was playing with his toys in the living room. He was laughing—genuinely laughing—like he hadn’t in a long time. The last few months had been transformative for both of us. Caleb had his moments of fear and uncertainty, but with Aaron’s unwavering support, he was slowly finding his joy again. And

    Ophelia’s POV The room fell into a stunned silence after the shot rang out. The echo of the gunfire hung in the air like a cruel reminder of everything I had been through. Samara lay sprawled on the floor, her eyes wide open in disbelief, the blood pooling around her neck. For a moment, I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. My heart was racing, my hands still trembling from the adrenaline coursing through my veins. It was over. It was finally over. But as I stared at Samara’s lifeless body, something inside me broke. I had fought so hard to get to this point, to protect Caleb, to get my life back. And yet, all I felt in that moment was emptiness. “Ophelia!” a voice broke through my fog of thoughts. I turned to see Aaron rushing toward me, his face pale and his eyes filled with concern. Behind him, the SWAT officers were securing the area, making sure everything was under control. But it was Aaron who I needed, his presence grounding me in the chaos. He stopped in front of me, taki

    Ophelia’s POV The air inside the car felt thick with tension as I drove toward the hideout, my knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel. Each word of Samara’s voice still echoed in my mind. The threats. The mockery. How naïve she thought I was, how helpless she believed me to be. But I wasn’t helpless anymore. I wasn’t that same girl who had been caught in her web of lies. I had changed. I had Aaron now—someone who would do anything to protect me. But even as I repeated this to myself, the sinking feeling in my chest wouldn’t disappear. The thought of Caleb—my son—kept pushing me forward. He was out there, trapped, with Samara and Kent. I couldn’t afford to be weak. I couldn’t let them break me again. I knew I was walking into a trap, but it didn’t matter. Caleb needed me. There was no other choice. I pulled into the abandoned warehouse where Samara had directed me. The place was desolate, the windows boarded up, and the area surrounding it looked abandoned for years. My

    Ophelia’s POV As Aaron stepped inside the house, his presence immediately grounded me. I could feel the weight of the tension in the air, the fear and the uncertainty pressing against me. But there was something about him—something steady in the way he looked at me—that reassured me. We would get through this. He wasn’t going to let anything happen to Caleb. I watched as Aaron moved through the living room, scanning the space with a sharp, calculating look. His eyes swept over everything with a precision that made me feel safe, even though the dread in my chest didn’t subside. “Caleb’s upstairs,” I said, my voice shaking slightly as I motioned toward the staircase. “He was fine when I last checked.” But my instincts, which had been on high alert ever since Samara’s call, urged me to move faster. I didn’t like the stillness in the house. It was too quiet, too calm, like something was about to shatter. “I’ll go check on him,” Aaron said, his tone firm. But I was already heading for

    Ophelia’s POV The night was dark, far darker than it had any right to be, considering the late hour. I sat on the couch, my phone resting on the coffee table, my fingers twitching as I glanced nervously at it. I had never felt so vulnerable, so helpless. Caleb was asleep upstairs, unaware of the growing danger that loomed over us. Aaron had left to take care of some business—he’d insisted on handling things alone, as much as I hated the idea. But I knew he was trying to protect me, to keep me from spiraling. Even so, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was coming, and we weren’t ready. The house felt too quiet, too still, the air heavy with tension. Every small noise made me jump, and I was hyperaware of the faint creaks of the house settling. My thoughts constantly circled back to Samara. I had barely heard from her after the confrontation in the park, and that should have been a relief. But instead, it left a strange unease crawling under my skin. I knew she wa

    Ophelia’s POV The weight of the situation pressed down on me like a thousand tons. Samara’s words replayed in my mind, her voice filled with malice and promises of torment. Caleb. She wanted him, and I had no idea what lengths she would go to in order to get him. Every second felt like it was slipping away from me, and I could feel my anxiety creeping up. Aaron’s arms were around me, holding me close, but his grip felt like a lifeline. The sense of calm I felt being in his arms was short-lived. I needed to act, and I needed to act fast. “Aaron, she’s serious,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “She knows too much. She knows about Caleb’s… about his father, and she’s threatening to hurt him if I don’t give him up.” Aaron’s eyes darkened as he listened to me, his brow furrowed in anger. “She’s gone too far this time, Ophelia. We can’t just sit back and let her take him.” “I can’t lose him, Aaron,” I whispered, tears welling in my eyes. “I can’t lose my son. Not again.” Aaron’s ex

    Ophelia’s POV The air was thick with tension. I could feel the weight of it hanging over me like a dark cloud, pressing in from all sides. It had been a few days since Aaron’s declaration of commitment, and I had allowed myself to relax, to let my guard down—just a little. Caleb and I had started to settle into a routine that felt right, and Aaron had become an integral part of our little family. It was easy to forget, for brief moments, that there were still ghosts of the past lurking in the shadows. But no matter how hard I tried to move forward, they always seemed to catch up with me. Samara, especially, had been a constant thorn in my side. I’d heard rumors, whispers of her movements, but nothing concrete. I knew she was still out there, somewhere, plotting and scheming, but I hadn’t expected her to make her move this soon. The message arrived unexpectedly. My phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with a name I hadn’t seen in years. My breath caught in my throat as I stared at it,

    Ophelia’s POV The weeks that followed were both a whirlwind and a blessing. With Caleb settling into a new routine at school and Aaron continuing to be a constant support, I found myself falling deeper into a rhythm I hadn’t thought possible. I had never imagined that, after everything I had been through, I could feel this safe again. But with Aaron by my side, I felt a sense of peace that I hadn’t felt in years. Work, too, had become more manageable. As the new manager and assistant to Aaron, I had begun taking on more responsibilities, and surprisingly, I was thriving. The decision to promote me had come as a shock at first, but as I settled into the role, I realized just how much I was capable of. Aaron had faith in me, and I was determined not to let him—or myself—down. Still, there were moments when the weight of my past threatened to resurface. It was hard not to feel the sting of Samara’s betrayal, or the constant reminder of Kent’s attempts to control everything in my lif
