His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 49
Aaron’s POV I watch as Ophelia walks into my office, the soft click of the door behind her signaling her presence. She doesn’t say anything, just stands there for a moment, and for a second, I wonder what’s going through her mind. I know better than to assume, but I can’t help it. There’s something about the way she carries herself, something that makes me uneasy in ways I can’t explain. I’ve never been one to think much about the people I work with. They’re tools, necessary instruments to help me get things done, and once they’ve served their purpose, they’re disposable. But Ophelia… She’s different. Not that I’d ever admit it aloud. I never let myself get too close to anyone, least of all her. Her presence in my office has become a constant, reminder of a world I’m trying to control. The moment she stepped into my life, my already tight grip on my company started slipping. The way she looks at me, the way she pushes my boundaries, challenges everything I thought I knew about m

Aaron’s POV The office is quiet. Too quiet. The hum of the air conditioner, the faint tapping of my pen against the desk — all of it feels like noise, a distraction from the thoughts I can’t seem to shut out. I sit at my desk, staring at the stack of papers in front of me, but I’m not reading. Not really. My mind keeps drifting back to her. Ophelia. It’s been a few days since our last interaction, and I can’t seem to shake the feeling that things are different. That something is shifting between us, even though neither of us has acknowledged it. Her professional composure, that icy distance she maintains—it’s starting to crack, just a little. And it bothers me more than it should. She’s my assistant, nothing more. That’s all she is, and all she’ll ever be. But every time she enters the room, every time she speaks, there’s this pulse of something I can’t define. She doesn’t make it easy either. She keeps her eyes lowered, her posture perfect, her movements precise. But there’s so

Ophelia’s POV The tension between us had always been palpable. Aaron Donovan was a man who commanded respect and fear, but as days turned into weeks, my perspective of him began to shift. It wasn’t sudden, nor was it dramatic, but it was undeniable. The cracks in his armor revealed glimpses of a man who wasn’t entirely the ruthless businessman the world believed him to be. Our days were filled with terse conversations, professional jabs, and an undercurrent of something neither of us dared to name. Today was no different, but it was the first time I noticed just how much his presence affected me. The day had started with the usual chaos. A high-stakes negotiation had gone south, and Aaron was in one of his moods. He snapped orders left and right, his deep voice reverberating through the office. By now, I had learned to brace myself for the storm, but I was also no longer afraid to push back when necessary. “Miss Lewis,” he called sharply, standing at his desk, his piercing eyes lo

Ophelia’s POV The days at Donovan Corporation had begun to blur together, a whirlwind of schedules, meetings, and Aaron Donovan’s impossible demands. Yet, despite the exhausting routine, I found myself thriving in ways I hadn’t expected. The position, though grueling, was a distraction I desperately needed—a way to focus my energy away from my past and toward a future that felt ever so slightly in my control. Aaron remained as ruthless as ever, his expectations of perfection looming over every task I performed. But the tension between us had started to shift, crackling with an intensity I couldn’t ignore. His sharp commands felt less biting, his glances lingered just a second too long, and there was something about the way his voice softened in unguarded moments that unsettled me. I couldn’t figure him out, and the uncertainty was maddening. One evening, after a particularly chaotic day of back-to-back meetings, I stayed late to sort through a mountain of paperwork Aaron had hand

Ophelia’s POV Aaron Donovan was a fortress—a man built of steel, his demeanor impenetrable and his emotions tightly locked away. Yet, every passing day at Donovan Corporation felt like I was inching closer to the cracks in his armor, glimpsing the man beneath the façade. It was a dangerous game, one I hadn’t asked to play, but every interaction between us pulled me deeper into the uncharted territory of whatever this was between us. I told myself I wasn’t falling for him. Falling for Aaron Donovan would be like jumping into an abyss, knowing full well there was no bottom, only a plummet that would leave me shattered. He was my boss, my means to an end, and I had a plan to follow—one that didn’t include Aaron Donovan or the confusing whirlwind of emotions he stirred in me. Still, I couldn’t ignore the subtle shifts between us. The sharp edges of his tone had softened, the rare moments of camaraderie slipping through the cracks when he thought no one was watching. And the way he loo

Ophelia’s POV It had been days since that quiet but charged exchange with Aaron Donovan. Days that felt like weeks, as the memory of his penetrating gaze and the weight of his words replayed in my mind on an endless loop. He was impossible to figure out, like a maze with no clear exit. One minute, he was sharp and detached, a man who demanded excellence without a hint of compassion. The next, he was a mystery with glimpses of humanity that left me questioning everything I thought I knew about him—and myself. I needed to stay focused, but how could I when he had this way of creeping into my thoughts? Every sideways glance, every curt comment, every fleeting moment when his tone softened—it all piled up, chipping away at my resolve. Today was no exception. The day began like any other, with me juggling tasks, sorting through emails, and fielding calls. The constant buzz of activity was the perfect distraction. I thought I’d managed to steady myself, to tuck away those troublesome

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
