His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 15
The next day arrived with the weight of anticipation pressing down on me. The night before had been a blur of strategizing and mental calculations, but today was the day everything would come to fruition—or fall apart. I had no time to second-guess myself now. I couldn’t afford to. I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing my dress and adjusting the loose strands of my hair. The reflection staring back at me was one I barely recognized. There was a confidence in my posture that hadn’t been there before—an aura of someone who had learned to navigate a world of high stakes and power plays. A far cry from the woman who had walked into Aaron Donovan’s office just a few days ago, unsure of herself, ready to leave the corporate world behind. Now, I was playing a game I didn’t fully understand yet, but I was playing it well. The realization both thrilled and terrified me.

The office was quiet, the kind of silence that made you hyper-aware of every sound—the faint hum of the air conditioner, the distant clack of heels in the hallway, the rustle of papers from Aaron’s desk. I sat across from him, my hands resting on my lap, my body tense. He hadn’t looked at me once since I entered. “Miss Hilary,” he finally said, breaking the silence. His voice was steady, devoid of the anger or sarcasm I had grown accustomed to. “Yes, Mr. Donovan?” I kept my tone neutral, though my mind was spinning with questions. Why had he called me in here? He leaned back in his chair, his sharp eyes finally meeting mine. “How long do you intend to work at Parklies Limited?” I blinked, caught off guard by the question. “I hadn’t given it a timeline, sir.” His lips twitched, the beginning of a smirk that never fully formed. “That’s vague. Let me rephrase. Are you satisfied working as an errand girl?” The condescension in his tone was unmistakable, but I refused to rise to the ba

Ophelia’s POV I entered Aaron Donovan’s office at exactly 8:00 a.m. sharp, determined to start this new chapter of my life with my head held high. The man himself sat behind his desk, a stack of neatly organized papers before him, his dark eyes scanning me with a level of intensity that was as unnerving as it was infuriating. “You’re on time,” he said, as if it surprised him. I refused to rise to the bait. “I said I’d take the job. I keep my word.” Aaron gestured for me to sit in the chair opposite him. “Let’s lay down some ground rules, shall we?” The audacity. As if I hadn’t already made my terms crystal clear. Still, I nodded, keeping my expression neutral. “You’re to accompany me to all meetings, take detailed notes, and anticipate my needs before I express them. Your discretion is non-negotiable, and your loyalty must be unwavering. Can you handle that?” It sounded more like a decree than a job description, but I kept my tone even as I replied, “I’m capable of doing my job,

Ophelia’s POVI woke up the next morning with the taste of last night’s success still fresh, but an unease settled in my chest. Aaron Donovan was an enigma—calculating, sharp, and far too attentive for my liking. Each interaction with him felt like a battle of wits, a dance where every step had to be precise. But it wasn’t his intelligence or authority that unnerved me. It was the way he looked at me as if he could see through the walls I had spent years constructing. Caleb was still asleep when I left for work, his small figure buried under his blanket. The sight grounded me. No matter how much pressure Aaron piled on, no matter how unpredictable my new job became, I had a reason to keep going. The office buzzed with its usual energy when I arrived. Emails, scheduling conflicts, and back-to-back meetings kept me busy. Aaron was his usual demanding self, firing off instructions with the precision of a general commanding troops. “Miss Hilary,” his voice rang out mid-morning. I h

Ophelia’s POVI stared at my phone, the cryptic message glowing on the screen. Stay away from Project Eden. A chill ran down my spine. Whoever had sent this knew more than I did, and their warning didn’t feel like an idle threat. I considered deleting the message but stopped myself. This wasn’t just about Aaron anymore—it was about my safety and Caleb’s safety. Whoever these people were, they were watching, and I needed to stay sharp. The following morning, I arrived at the office with an unsettling sense of foreboding. Aaron was already in his office, the Project Eden file spread across his desk. His expression was unreadable, but there was a heaviness in his demeanor that wasn’t there the day before. “Miss Hilary,” he called as I passed his office. I stepped inside, clutching my notebook. “Yes, Mr. Donovan?” He leaned back in his chair, studying me with a piercing gaze. “Have you heard of the name Evelyn Hargrove?” The name struck a faint chord, but I shook my head. “No, shoul

Ophelia’s POV The morning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains of my apartment, but it did little to ease the heaviness in my chest. Caleb’s soft snores reminded me why I couldn’t afford to let fear take over. Whatever cryptic warnings or lingering questions I faced, I had to keep going—for him, if not for myself. At Donovan Corporation, my role as Aaron Donovan’s assistant brought me closer to the puzzle at the center of his empire. Every day felt like walking a tightrope, balancing between my mission and the growing complexity of Aaron’s world. When I arrived at the office, the atmosphere felt different. Whispers carried through the hall, and staff members exchanged glances that hinted at some undercurrent I wasn’t privy to. As I settled at my desk, Aaron appeared in the doorway. His presence was magnetic as always, commanding the attention of anyone in his orbit. “Ophelia,” he said, his tone brisk. “In my office. Now.” I grabbed my notepad and followed him inside, clo

Ophelia’s POVThe morning air carried a crisp chill as I stepped into Donovan Corporation, my heels clicking softly against the polished marble floors. It had been a week since Aaron’s unexpected offer for me to take on more responsibilities. At first, I was hesitant, wary of his motives. But over time, I began to see it as an opportunity to prove myself—not just to him, but to me. Still, the undercurrent of tension between us hadn’t entirely dissipated. Aaron Donovan was an enigma. He could be cold and cutting one moment, then unnervingly attentive the next. I wasn’t sure where I stood, but I knew one thing for certain: I wouldn’t let my guard down. “Ms. Hilary,” his voice cut through the air as I approached his office. I froze. He was standing by the window, his back turned to me, looking out over the city skyline. The light streaming through the glass cast sharp angles across his broad shoulders. “Yes, Mr. Donovan?” I replied, keeping my tone professional. “I need you to clea

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
His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 128
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
His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 127
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
His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 126
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
His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 125
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
His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 124
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
His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 122
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,
His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 121
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
