His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 26
Ophelia’s POV It had been a few weeks since Aaron had pulled me back into his company, and every day felt like a tug-of-war between my mind and my heart. I’d agreed to return on my terms, pushing my way back into the world I had once known. But now, as I worked alongside Aaron, I could feel the weight of our pasts crashing down on us, and it was more than just a few sharp words or icy silences. There were moments, fleeting and fragile, where I wondered if I was losing myself all over again. Aaron hadn’t changed. If anything, he was worse than I remembered. His cold, demanding presence never seemed to soften, no matter how much I tried to reason with myself. But there were moments—when he looked at me when our hands brushed unintentionally—that I saw something in him that I hadn’t expected. Maybe it was because I was too damaged, or maybe he was too broken, but I couldn’t deny that the chemistry between us was undeniable. I shook my head as I sat at my desk, trying to focus on th

Ophelia’s POV The sterile smell of the hospital filled my nose, and the rhythmic beep of the machines attached to Caleb did nothing to calm the panic that churned in my chest. I was standing beside his bed, my fingers gently brushing through his soft hair, trying to hold back the storm of emotions that threatened to overwhelm me. My son. My only reason to keep pushing forward. And now, it felt like he was slipping away from me, just as I had almost lost him once before. Aaron had stayed, hovering in the corner of the room, giving me space but never fully leaving. Despite everything between us, his presence felt oddly comforting. I hated that it did, but I couldn’t deny the fact. His concern, the genuine worry I saw in his eyes, was a rare thing—something I hadn’t expected from the man who had been nothing but cold and demanding ever since our paths had crossed. I turned my attention back to Caleb. His small chest rose and fell with each breath, and I had to force myself not to s

Ophelia’s POV The silence that followed Aaron’s departure was almost deafening. The hum of the machines and the soft clicking of the door as it closed behind him seemed to magnify every thought in my mind. Caleb’s steady breaths were the only thing grounding me in the present. I tried to ignore the ache in my chest—the unfamiliar pull that his presence had left behind. Aaron Donovan had never been part of my plan. My goal, from the very beginning, had been revenge—not complicated feelings, not regrets. But somewhere along the way, everything had changed. And I wasn’t sure if I hated it or if, deep down, I welcomed it. The door opened again, and I looked up, my heart sinking slightly at the thought that it might be him coming back. But instead, it was a nurse, carrying a tray with a few medications and a glass of water. “Ms. Lewis, we need to administer these to Caleb,” the nurse said, her voice professional yet kind. She adjusted the IV on Caleb’s arm and glanced at me, waiting f

Ophelia’s POV The sound of the clock ticking was the only thing that filled the silence in my apartment. It was an oppressive silence, one that I had come to loathe over the past few days. Caleb was resting, his fever finally subsiding, but the weight of everything else was threatening to crush me. The mess I had to clean up from my past, the scheming, the lies, and the betrayals—each one seemed more unbearable than the last. I hadn’t expected Kent to show up again. And I hadn’t expected to feel the way I did when he did. The sting of his betrayal still burned, but it wasn’t as sharp as it had been before. Maybe time had dulled it. Or maybe, just maybe, I was beginning to understand something about myself that I hadn’t been willing to admit. What did I want? Did I want Kent back? Did I want him to redeem himself? The question had plagued me ever since he had walked out of that hospital room. No. The answer was clear. I didn’t want him back. But it didn’t mean I didn’t feel confl

Ophelia’s POV I hesitated for a moment before answering, unsure of what to expect. My finger hovered over the green answer button before I swiped it with a breathless sigh. “Ophelia?” The voice on the other end was gruff, yet there was something oddly familiar about it. My heart beat faster, and my mind raced as I tried to place it. “Aaron?” I asked, my voice betraying the confusion I felt. I hadn’t expected him to call, especially not this late at night. “Yes. It’s me,” he responded, a hint of tension in his tone. “I need to talk to you.” My pulse quickened at the words. I knew we needed to talk, but hearing it from him… it felt different. More personal. There was an undercurrent of something more than just business in his voice. “Is everything okay?” I asked, trying to sound calm. The last thing I wanted was to sound like I cared more than I should, but my curiosity got the better of me. “Yeah,” he replied. “I’m fine. But I need you to meet me tomorrow. There’s something impor

Ophelia’s POV The clicking of my heels against the polished floor echoed in the quiet hallway as I walked toward Aaron’s office. It was late in the afternoon, and the office building was quieter than usual. Most of the staff had gone home for the day, but I knew Aaron wouldn’t leave until his work was done, regardless of the hour. I had gotten used to this routine, though every day felt like I was walking on eggshells. Aaron’s mood was unpredictable, and I had learned to brace myself for whatever harsh tone or order might come next. But even in his cold, calculating demeanor, there was a strange sense of reliance on me now. Not that he would ever admit it aloud. As I entered his office, he was seated behind his massive desk, papers scattered in front of him. He looked like a man who hadn’t slept in days, his sharp jawline tense, his eyes bloodshot from too many late nights. Yet there was still an undeniable aura of authority around him, something magnetic that made everyone who st

Aaron’s POV I stared out of my office window, the city sprawling beneath me in all its noisy, chaotic glory. From up here, it all seemed so distant, so far removed from the reality of the work I had to do. But that’s the way I liked it. I didn’t want to be part of the hustle below, caught up in the trivialities that most people obsessed over. No, I had a bigger mission: to expand Donovan Corporation, to solidify my name in every boardroom and every business deal, and to ensure that no one stood in my way. It was a task that demanded all my focus. All my energy. There was no time for distractions—especially not the kind Ophelia Lewis brought with her every time she walked into my office. She’d changed since she first arrived. I couldn’t deny that. Gone was the fire of revenge, the bitterness that had burned in her eyes when she first joined my team. In its place was a calm determination, a woman who knew exactly what she wanted. But the change hadn’t gone unnoticed, either. She’d

His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 129
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
His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 123
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
