His Sassy Secretary: Lia’s Revenge Chapter 84
Ophelia’s POV The sound of my heels clicking against the polished marble floor echoed through the silent corridors as I made my way to Aaron’s office the following morning. Despite our conversation the previous day, my nerves were a tangled mess. I wasn’t used to letting people in, and admitting even a sliver of vulnerability felt like walking into unfamiliar territory without a map. I carried a file in one hand, holding onto it as if it could anchor me, steady the storm swirling inside me. Aaron’s office door was slightly ajar, and I could see him standing by his desk, his jacket draped over the back of his chair. He was focused on a document in his hands, his brow furrowed in concentration. I hesitated, torn between stepping inside and walking away. But as if sensing my presence, he looked up, his eyes locking onto mine. “Good morning, Lewis,” he said, his voice even, though there was a warmth in it that hadn’t been there before. “Good morning, Mr. Donovan,” I replied, steppin

Ophelia’s POV The moment I stepped into my apartment, I felt the weight of what had just happened settle over me. I leaned against the door, my fingers pressed to my lips where Aaron’s kiss still lingered. It wasn’t the first time we’d kissed, but this one felt different. It wasn’t just heat or impulsive desire—it was layered, charged with emotions I didn’t want to name. The lines we had carefully drawn between us were now smudged, and I couldn’t deny that I had crossed one I swore I wouldn’t. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Aaron Donovan wasn’t supposed to feel like more than a boss or an ally in my quest for revenge. And yet, here I was, tangled in emotions that felt both intoxicating and terrifying. Caleb’s small voice broke through my thoughts. “Mom?” I opened my eyes to find him standing in the hallway, rubbing his eyes sleepily. “You’re still up?” I asked, pushing myself off the door. He nodded, clutching his favorite stuffed lion. “I

Ophelia’s POV I arrived at the office early, hoping the quiet stillness would help me prepare for the day ahead. As the elevator doors slid open to the top floor, I walked down the hallway, the sound of my heels echoing against the marble. The air was cool, and for a brief moment, it felt like the weight of the past few days hadn’t caught up with me. But the moment I stepped into the office and saw Aaron’s door slightly ajar, my chest tightened. His shadow stretched across the glass walls, his figure hunched over his desk. He hadn’t seen me yet, and I hesitated. Maybe I should go back downstairs for coffee, give myself a few more minutes to gather my thoughts. “Lewis,” his voice called out sharply, shattering my fleeting idea of escape. I exhaled and stepped into his line of sight. He was already looking up, his piercing eyes locking onto mine. “You’re early,” he said, his tone unreadable. “So are you,” I replied, forcing a neutral expression. He gestured toward the stack of pape

Ophelia’s POV When I returned to the office, my pulse was still racing. The meeting with Kent had left a bitter taste in my mouth, and his words about Aaron kept replaying in my mind like a broken record. “Men like Aaron don’t give without expecting something in return.” Kent had no right to talk about anyone’s character, least of all Aaron’s. And yet, the warning lingered. Was there a kernel of truth hidden in his venom? Aaron was ruthless, a man who made it clear he didn’t invest in anything—or anyone—without a purpose. But then I thought of the man who had softened, even just for a moment, in the privacy of his office. The man who had kissed me with a vulnerability that felt startlingly real. I wasn’t sure which version of him to believe anymore. The office was unusually quiet when I stepped off the elevator. Most of the staff had gone for lunch, leaving only a handful of voices murmuring in the distance. As I walked toward my desk, I noticed Aaron’s office door was open, and

Ophelia’s POV The next morning, I walked into Donovan Industries with an unsettling mixture of determination and hesitation swirling in my chest. Every step I took felt heavier than the last, weighed down by the memory of Aaron’s words from the night before. “I’ll wait as long as it takes.” Why did those words haunt me so deeply? Maybe it was because no one had ever said something like that to me before. No one had ever been willing to wait for me—to let me take the time I needed without asking for anything in return. It was terrifying, and I hated that it made me feel… safe. As I approached my desk, I forced those thoughts aside. Work was my anchor, my constant, and the one thing I could control in this whirlwind of emotions. I opened my laptop, diving into the list of tasks Aaron had sent over the night before. Minutes turned into hours, and I found myself falling into the rhythm of the day. Meetings, calls, emails—it was almost enough to make me forget the weight of everything

Ophelia’s POV The next morning, the weight of the previous night’s conversation with Aaron hung heavily over me. I had spent hours lying awake, going over every word, every look, and every fleeting moment between us. It was a futile exercise, but I couldn’t stop myself. By the time I got Caleb ready and dropped him off at school, my resolve to maintain some semblance of professionalism had hardened. Aaron had been clear about his intentions, but I couldn’t afford to let my emotions spiral. There was too much at stake. As I stepped into the office, I noticed the energy was unusually tense. People moved quickly, their faces set with a mix of worry and focus. “Morning, Lewis,” Claire, the receptionist, said as I passed her desk. “Morning,” I replied, glancing around. “What’s going on?” “Big deal on the line,” she whispered. “Aaron’s been in meetings all morning with the board. Something about the Falcon acquisition.” I nodded, gripping the strap of my bag tighter. Of course. Aaron

Ophelia’s POV The following morning, I arrived at the office with a knot of anxiety twisting in my stomach. Last night’s restless thoughts had done little to prepare me for facing Aaron again. Every part of me wanted to avoid him, to avoid the inevitable conversation hanging between us like a storm cloud. But avoidance wasn’t an option. Stepping into the sleek confines of the office building, I kept my shoulders squared and my chin high. If I couldn’t control my feelings, I could at least control how I carried myself. Professionalism was my shield, and I would wield it with precision. “Good morning, Lewis,” Claire greeted as I passed her desk. “Morning,” I replied curtly, forcing a polite smile. When I reached my desk, there was already a thick file waiting for me. A note, written in Aaron’s familiar sharp handwriting, was clipped to the top. Lewis, come to my office when you’re ready. My stomach twisted. I stared at the note, debating my next move. Should I give myself a moment

Ophelia’s POV The rest of the week passed in a tense haze. Every moment I spent in Aaron’s presence felt like walking a tightrope, balancing between professionalism and the unspoken emotions simmering beneath the surface. He wasn’t pushing me, not directly, but the intensity in his gaze whenever our eyes met said enough. I hated how much I noticed him. How his presence filled the room even when he wasn’t speaking. How his scent lingered long after he walked past me. I buried myself in work, hoping the constant flow of tasks would quiet my thoughts. It didn’t. By Friday evening, the office was nearly empty, save for a few employees finishing up their deadlines. I was still at my desk, organizing files and preparing for next week’s meetings, when Aaron stepped out of his office. “Still here, Lewis?” His voice was calm but carried that familiar edge of curiosity. I didn’t look up. “Just finishing up.” He approached my desk, his footsteps echoing in the quiet space. “It’s Friday. Don

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
