“What?”
“Is the almighty Daddy’s puppet not going to tell me to listen to Daddy this time around?” Ophelia asked and he shifted to the edge of his seat.
“What do you mean?” he asked before adding. “What do you daddy’s puppet?”
“Haven't you always advised me to do things my dad wants me to?” she asked and he looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face. “I have always known”
“And yet you still did them?”
“Yeah because you asked and you are my friend so I did not think you would ever want me to be hurt soooo…” she trailed off.
“You knew and you still them? That is shocking considering that you are so independent”
“Hey, I never wanted to be independent, I was forced to become one” she said brushing her hair away from her face. “You don't think I should get married though why?”
“I believe you should get married to the one you love, I think marriage is a big deal, I can't imagine living in the same house as someone who you don't like”
“Then I guess the fortune of the Frost ends with me because I have no plans to fall in love and neither do I have plans to get married by myself. I think the best I would have to come close to a romantic relationship would be you” she said causing him to pause with shock on his face.
“Not that I am saying that we are in a romantic relationship but you are a guy and I am comfortable with you” she trailed off and then brightened up as though she had the brightest idea. “Or should I marry you instead?” she joked.
“You should marry someone you love” he stuttered flustered by her suggestion.
“Don't get all serious, it was a joke” she said as she began to stroke her cheek. They fell into a small silence and then she cleared her throat breaking it. “I have always listened to you and I wish I could do the same this time but I am afraid it would be different this time around”
“Are you saying you are going to get married?”
“Yeah”
“To a random stranger”
“How bad can it be? He is a man after all,” she said, she was going to wed in the end but to the man who she chose among the men her dad had chosen already. She was going to put them through a test and the one who wins would be the one she picks. If she was going to live with them she was going to draw up a contract so it had to be the person who understood her reason for the contract.
“My mom did it”
“And she left,” Green said in a scream.
“Where the hell is my coffee” Ophelia let out in frustration before turning to Green. “I know you are worried about me, that is why you are here after all but this is not the time for you to tell me what to do. I listened to you before because I wanted to and I am going to decide if I want to listen to you now as well” she said dropping her legs to the ground and standing at her feet.
She turned to him and smiled at him before walking away. He was just a jerk for bringing up the fact that her mom left even though she did not care about the topic. She walked to her room and called her dad to set her up with the first guy. She knew her dad well and that he would have enough options in case she bailed from all the options, she had to be careful even though she wanted to be as picky as she could be. She did not want to end up with an old man in a wheelchair after all.
THREE DAYS LATER
She was to meet this mystery man and all she got from her dad was his name, the name of the restaurant and the time to be there. She wanted to be good enough for pictures in case anybody decided to take pictures of her and her date. She had not been in the city for a while so she was sure the press had forgotten all about her and her troubles.
Her date had to either be a self-made billionaire who wanted a merger with Frost or an heir to another corporation. The media would be on the tail of any of them so it would be the best opportunity for her to get her good image out there.
She knew she had to impress the press, so her father would applaud her for all the good publicity she would be giving them. She had an entire team get her ready from her makeup to shoes and she made her way to the chosen restaurant.
She sat at the table and waited, she would have walked out of the room but decided to wait to see who the unlucky man was because there would be no way she would be with a person who decided it was the right thing to keep a woman waiting for such a long time.
A few moments a man walked in and from the stares of the people in the restaurant she was sure he was her date. Her father would pick someone influential and popular or else he would not be the same.
“Ophelia….” Cade trailed off as he sat down in front of her.
“Cade Vale?” she asked and he just stared at her. “Excuse you for staring” she said snapping her fingers in his face.
“Sorry are you Ophelia Frost?” he asked.
“Yes I am,” she said a puzzled expression on his face.
“Not Victoria? Toria for short?” he asked.
She crossed her hand over her chest and let out a sound he was unable to pick out. “Aren't you here because our family set us up?” she asked him and he nodded.
“I am Ophelia Rainbow Frost”

Ophelia looked at this man, she remembered him all too well, she even remembered him from just seeing his name, he was the man she had spent the night passionately with when she was in her third year at college. She could never forget him no matter how hard she tried, she had always hated that he found a way to pop into her memories once in a while. She blinked her eyes at him multiple times, how did he remember her so well even up to her name? When she woke up that morning she had run away from the room before he could wake up and tried her best to forget about him.She never thought she would have a reason to ever encounter him ever again, considering the fact that she would be leaving the city behind anyway. For her own sanity, she never went back to that club in case she ran into him. How shameful it was for her that a girl who ran her mouth so much was a virgin. She did not think that her father's first choice for her would be this man sitting across from her, she did not know

“Your terms are?” Cade asked as they dug into the meal in front of them. “You want me to tell you now?”“Is anything wrong with now?” he asked looking around, maybe she thought the place was not good enough to discuss those kinds of matters. “Well, it seems rushed, what is the reason you are rushing?” “I have to get married before I turn twenty-five in August to take over the company or else my cousin or brother might be the one to inherit it”“And you are so interested in the company why?”“Do you know how much effort I have put into the company? I slept in the penthouse at work for three months, how can I let someone else take over? I studied business administration instead of engineering as I originally wanted because my grandfather wanted me to. Should I throw it all away after coming this far?”“Of course not, I can understand, I am sitting here now because my father already has everything planned out for my life” she sighed before taking a bite.”Maybe rich people do not have

Of course, the papers read, IS THE TROUBLESOME MS FROST BACK IN THE CITY FOR MORE TROUBLE. One of the reporters had caught wind that she was around and now her name was swimming in the news. She smiled at her phone as she thought to herself. ‘I still got it’ Maybe her father was the one who put the reporter on her tail but the fact that all the other reporters were eager to write on her showed just how influential her family was. Many of the reports were speculating that Cade and her were together and she knew from experience that now was the best time for her to jump on the news and make it work to their benefit. “Hello” “You finally picked,” Ophelia said.“Oh sorry about that i do not like to take personal calls during work hours” Cade replied. She had been calling so much he had no choice but to pick up and know what she wanted. When they had exchanged contacts he did not know she would reach out so easily.“And I am not really interested in calling you at all but you see this s

“You are wearing that to the movies?” Cade asked and she looked down at her dress and back at him. She could not deny that she was being a bit extra just to see the movies but she was always extra so there was nothing wrong with it.“What is wrong with what I am wearing?” she asked crossing her arms across her chest and leaning on one leg. “Too glamorous, are we attending a party or an event? Are you trying to outshine the bride?” he asked leaning on the sports car behind him. He had taken time off work earlier than usual, the staff watched in awe as he walked away early from work. They were both sacred and joyful, afraid that it was a test and joyful that for the first time in six months since he took over the office they got to go home early. He had gone home and changed out of his usual day-to-day suit and thrown on a t-shirt and chinos. Ophelia could not deny that he looked good in those casual clothes. “So if I dressed like this I would outshine the bride? These brides should

Ophelia was graceful in her dress and Cade could not deny it so he was almost jumping on his toes, pointing his hands in her face and laughing his ass off when she said her legs hurt. “I told you to wear something comfortable,” he said as he could not help himself. “I did not know that I would need to go around a bookstore trying to educate a grown man on how to treat a woman, the way a woman wants to be treated” she sighed. “Wait here then” he said pointing to the bench behind them. “Here?”“Yes”“Why?”“You ask a lot of questions and I will be back soon” he said turning on his heels and walking away. She watched him go and her eyes darted to a group of schoolgirls giggling in the corner. Their eyes turned to face her and they had the most offended look on their face. She knew they were schoolgirls because they were still in uniform. “If you have a beef to pick with me don’t be a coward and go for it” Ophelia said making the girls turn to her. If those girls made a scene here sh

“What was that all about?”“Market survey?”“Market survey? He asked as his voice rose. “Yeah, I wanted to know what they thought about us together”“And why were you promising to buy them lunch?”“Because they made me happy,” Ophelia said. “Where did you go?” she suddenly remembered that the reason she got into a mini squabble with those girls was because he left her. “To get this,” he said dangling a paper bag in her face. She had not noticed him holding it since he came. “What is that?”“Sit” he said pushing him to the bench. “What is that?” she asked again as he took out the box from the paper box and opened it to reveal a pair of slippers. “You bought slippers?” she asked looking down at the box and back at him. “Yeah” he said taking off the heels from her leg and sliding the slippers into her legs. He did the same for both feet and then carefully placed the heels into the box. “Aww, that's so cute,” One person from the bystanders said. “I always knew he was the perfect b

Ophelia got home late, after the extra weird conversation with Cade in the car, but they still went to see the movies, she was somehow comforted that she was not the only one who craved the attention the public gave. She had always wondered why some people would be so invested in the lives of others and even want to tell them what they could and could not do, She thrived on that attention, that was what made her who she was so she was not that bothered by the attention neither did she ate. It was just a wonder to her. “Green what are you doing here?” she asked as she entered the kitchen to see Green sitting there with a glass of liquor in hand. “I came to see you,” he said standing up and pushing the stool behind him that it screeched on the floor. “Aggh” she exclaimed at the sound of the stool on the floor. “Sorry about that” he said and there was nothing he could do to stop the sound. “What are you doing here?” she asked again as though he had not responded to her question.“T

"Meeting with investors is tiring," Cael murmured, sitting in his chair, after the person they had been meeting with walked out. None of the members had said that they were giving them their support, and yet his mom seemed full of energy, as if the day had only started."You have been a good sport and on your best behaviour all day; just one more person and we can call it a day," Abigail replied, turning to him and tapping his thighs gently."Can't we just call it a day now?" He groaned, feeling tired. All he had done since lunch was sucking it up to different old bald men who did not seem interested in helping him anyway. He wondered how long he had to continue doing that with them."As I said, this is really important, and it took me so much to get to agree to see us under such short notice; the best you can do here is just do the right thing," Abigail murmured, losing her patience. After what had happened, she was not ready to allow all of these men to trample over her for no reaso

Frances was left alone; she had a lot to do, and she did not even know where to start. Abigail had told her that it was important that they kept it a secret from the entire family until the night before the wedding; that way, there was little to nothing they could do to stop it. If they knew of the plans they had to level up with Cade, she was sure that Charles would try his best to stop it in some way.She knew that with that she had to call a lawyer; all the vendors to be used would be mandated to sign off on an NDA; that way, no secret would be lost if they thought there was something to lose. She called her mom over the phone."My darling daughter that can not seem to settle down, you just left the house, and you are already calling me? How difficult is it for you to stay over at your in-law's place for a bit?" Mrs. Gates said over the phone. "If you screw this up, you would be doomed," she added under her breath.Frances rolled her eyes; it was as if her mom could get rid of her.

"Mom, you called for me?" Frances had waited till Abigail had finished her meal. From the way she fumes all the way from downstairs to her room, Frances could tell that she was very angry and that this meant serious business."I did, but first things first, can you fight?"Frances could not understand the question; it was not the kind that someone would ask you just randomly. "Fight?" she asked, causing Abigail to give her a questioning look."I mean are you willing to do what I want you to do?" Abihail clarified. "It is a dirty fight are you willing to go all in?" she added."Of course," Frances said, shifting till she was at the edge of her seat. "Why else would I stay with Cael like this until now?"Abigail beamed to herself; she was so glad that she had picked Frances. She made a good choice; at first, she was worried that she would be too calm, but she was also as power-driven as she was. It made sense for her to fight this much at the end of the day; she would enjoy it as well.

The breakfast table was very lively. Ophelia did not know if Charles had always been like this; she would have thought that he was just a stuck-up old man who liked to get rich and play matchmaker; however, that morning he was the one making all the jokes and talking at every chance that he got.After breakfast, Charles invited them to his study to sit and have tea with him. "I know you are going to work, but there are some days that you have to take it easy," he said to Ophelia.She had said that she was going to work when she had gotten there earlier, even though she was not. At lunchtime, they were going to meet her father, and then they said that they were going to spend the rest of the day together. Ophelia had asked countless times what they were going to be doing, but Cade had said it was a secret. She wondered what secret or surprise he had planned and when he had the time to plan it.Cade had called Harper; he was going to use this opportunity to pass on to her a very firm me

Ophelia had woken up early and she was ready to go to work. She stood in front of Cade's door, wondering if he was enjoying his break. She had expected to see him come to her room and even stalled all morning, but he did not show up at all, which was a bit of a concern for her. As she raised her hand to knock on the door, it flew open with him standing there, a huge smile plastered across his face."Ophelia," he said, excited to see her since he was going to her room to meet her."You are dressed," she murmured, looking at him from head to toe. She had been expecting to meet him still dressed in his pyjamas. "You are dressed," she said again, raising her head to hum, wondering if he did not hear her the first."Yes, I am," he nodded, and she took a step back to inspect his clothes."Are you going to work?" she asked, and he shook his head. "Then?" she needed answers, and he seemed to be taking his sweet time with responding."We are going to see my grandfather and your father," he said

Frances got to the house at the crack of dawn. She had gotten a message from Cael that his mom wanted to see her, and it was urgent. Frances was happy that Abigail called for her, which was a very rare thing for a woman to do. It was always as if she was independent and did not rely on anybody, but seeing that she was the one to reach out first, she was ready to do what she could do for it to work out. She made her way to Cael's room. She was no stranger there, as she had spent many nights with him. The staff who saw her did not bother to stop her from asking questions. It was like she blended right in. She stood and knocked on the door; when she did not get any response, she let herself in and sat on the bed. It was only when she was inside the room that she noticed he was in the shower. She wondered the reason he was getting up so early. He always stayed in bed till the last minute and spent the day on his winning terms. He never allowed the things happening around him to influenc

"Mom, I heard what had happened," Cael said, going into his mother's room. The staff were already gossiping that a strange woman had come home and had lunch with Charles. They did not know the true tale, and no one could say what it was but Abigail's screaming and throwing of things, who seemed to be enraged."What did you hear? Did you hear the full story or did you hear the gossip from the staff?" Abigail screamed as he got into the room and closed the door. She knew that her energy should have been directed toward someone else, but she could not help the way she felt at that time."I heard what the staff said," Cael said in a careful voice. He had seen his mom get range a few times, even with the way Charles treated her sometimes. All she did was take it with good faith. It was the first time she had made bad gossip on the lips of the staff, and it was bad. Usually, the sons and cousins were the topic of discussion amongst the staff."Okay then, that means you do not know what happ

"I will make dinner for you," Ophelia murmured. She felt bad that he had waited to eat with her only for her to come home with a full stomach."You will cook for me?" he asked, staring at her."Of course," she said, trying to wiggle her way out of his arms that were now firmly wrapped around her. "Let me go; I would love to make a meal for my husband.""I like the sound of that." Cade's voice had suddenly gone down from the tone he had and was now sounding deeper than usual."That I am going to make you dinner?" She asked confused. It was not the first time she cooked for him, so what was so fascinating about it?"Not that," he whispered, shifting closer to her with his arms still wrapped around her."Then what?" She said her face scrunched up as she replayed the conversation in her mind. "Husband?" she asked, realizing that maybe that was what he meant, even though she hoped it was not."Yes," he said, trying to nod his head in that position."This is not the first time I have called

Cade got into the house, his mind thinking of how chaotic the day had been. The drama and how his grandfather handled the situation were very foreign to him. His grandfather had never reacted so childishly ever. He was a bit afraid of what his teacher could do. After all, she had the advantage of being publically declared the madam of the Vale family.He was going to make dinner for Ophelia since she was so busy they could not go out for dinner, but it seemed as if the events of the day drained him so much that he decided to lie down in the living room for a moment, and somehow he fell asleep on the spot.Ophelia felt so drained as she walked in through the door; she had been on her feet all day and had barely had any time to sit down and rest. It was so bad that she had gone from one meeting to another without fail. She was working so hard to show her dad that aside from giving him an heir to take over his company, she was more capable of taking care of it herself as well.She walked
