The breakfast was silent, and this was not the way Ophelia had planned it. She had gotten Harper riled up that she did not want to talk again, but she had to get her talking about yesterday, and she had to do it quickly."So why did you come here yesterday?" Ophelia asked, taking a bite from the pancake on her fork."To see Cade boo," Harper said, shaking a bit and trying to hold Cade's hands. He dropped his hand from the table; he did not like the situation he was in, and he knew that this was not going to be easy for him at all."Why would you come to see a married man in the night?""The same reason you went to see Green at a bar.""How do you know I went to see Green?" Ophelia asked, dropping her fork to the plate and intertwining her hand over the plate. "And at a bar at that?"Somehow, even though the conversation was greatly uncomfortable. Cade was happy that Ophelia was getting to hear this from Harper directly."Oh, he told me," Harper raised her shoulder like it was not a bi
"Why are you just coming back? Imagine my shock when I came back to an empty house after my shift," Rose said as Harper entered the house. Rose had not gotten a message or call from Harper that she was going to stay out all night."Why is this a big deal? Can I not stay out all night?" Harper groaned as she sat in her bed. She was still hung over but had pretended like everything was fine just to have a heated conversation with Ophelia."Well, you are, but you are always in bed, so it was strange, and I was worried; I thought something wrong had happened.""No need to worry about me; I finally had alone time with the man I told you about.""You did?" Rose was intrigued and impressed. She had not been in support of Hsrper but what could she do about it? This girl had abandoned all she had and knew just to come out here to be with this man, and even though he was married, she still believed that he was going to come to her. "Now that you have spent the night there, you have to tell me w
"Oh wow, fancy restaurant? Fancy small portioned meals," Harper said after a while. She had been sitting with Frances and Carl at the table. It was like they were so obsessed with making small talk that they did not go into details about the reason they had brought her out there."I told Cael that we had to treat you to dinner," Frances said with a smile as she gestured to the table. She and Cael had spoken and they knew that they had to take Cade down no matter what. Frances barely had a proper position in her father's company but now Ophelia was a CEO and they knew she was going to climb higher on the ladder and even become stronger. They were sure that this was going to be an advantage for Cade and Ophelia if they did not find a way to ruin them.Charles would definitely give preference to the person who had more connections; they needed connections for the company to grow more, and the more power their in-laws had, the more power they had. Everyone knew that marriages like these w
"So let me hear your plan."Cael had promised that they would sign on a document that would make sure that Cade still remained in the company after she had helped Cael become the chairman of the company."A plan?" Cael stuttered. He had been more invested in the conversation when it seemed like Harper, who was from his brother's side, was willing to help him. That should be great news. His mother would be happy to hear this development even though she would go on and on about how they should not fully trust Harper as she might switch on them too soon."So no plan." Harper took the glass and downed the entire thing. "What do I need to know about taking over the company?" She followed up, dropping her empty glass. Frances took it upon herself to fill up the glass immediately."Grandfather wants the new chairman to be married; he's basically a family man so with kids, he wants a happy home.""Does that mean that if Cade were to divorce or to have a mistress, then he would be taken off?"
Ophelia was meeting with Cade that evening. He had asked that they talk after the way things went down with Harper that night. He was going to tell her about the result he had gotten and also ask her what had gone on with her and her dad. Ophelia had accepted the meet-up, even though he could still think that she was probably mad at him before he left the house."Hi, you made it," Cade said, standing by the door of the restaurant. He had waited to be with her so they could walk in together."You asked me to, and I am not that mean of a jerk to hurt your feelings," she said. He was not sure if she was being real with me or if she was taking a jab at him."Still, thank you for coming," he said as they walked inside.They sat down and ordered theirs. While they waited for their meal to arrive, Ophelia had to know the reason why he was asking them out of the house when he knew things were not all rosy and peachy with them."So what is this about?""Are you mad at me?" Cade was not sure if
TWO DAYS LATERCade had discussed with Abigail, and she had used her mole in the company to find some dirt on anyone around. She then used that information to manipulate a ton of people to testify and pull out a massive train of evidence against Sue. Even though it was fake, they were so thorough that it would be difficult for her to wiggle her way through it."Woman, what do I owe the pleasure of you crawling your way into this place?" Charles was harsh, but Abigail did not mind because she knew that she had all she needed to make sure that this plan went through smoothly."I am here to see you about your grandson.""For the final time, if you ever come to me for this kind of request, I would have no option but to throw both you and Cael into the hard, cool floor outside and bring in his mom instead. I will not make Cael my successor until I have seen that he has what it takes to even be a son worthy of the Vale name," Abigail rolled her eyes.He had been saying he would take her out
Cade was wondering if it was a bad idea if he did not agree to go meet his mom after he had discovered that she was the one. He was feeling an array of mixed emotions, and he did not know how to face the situation. Hr wanted to face his grandfather about it and scream at his mom for leaving him in such a cruel family to fend for himself and for up so quickly that it hurts."Mr. Vale," a choice from the room, brought him back to reality."Yes Sue?" Cade said, raising his head to meet the eyes of the woman standing in front of him. He had not even noticed when she had waltzed in and stood there."The chairman is coming in and his first stop is here.""Here?" he asked and she followed with a nod and a murmur of yes, sir. "Why?""I am not sure about it, sir but it seemed like it has to do with firing and rehiring of soem personnel members working with you." The news had gotten to Sue and even though she knew she would not be able to stay with Cade after this, she hoped that Charles would
"Harper? Grandfather, what is Harper doing here?" Cade stood up in awe. Why was his ex-girlfriend standing in those clothes and addressing him so formally in his office? "She would be resuming as your new assistant while Sue goes back to the general office and awaits reassignment," Charles said. Sue stood there; she felt rage course through her body; she could not believe that Charles got played so easily. How could he allow someone who he had removed from his grandson's life a while back to walk in on her own two feet back into his life, and this time she was giving him access? She wanted to slap this old man across the face and attack him, but there was nothing she could do about any of it. She was bound. Sue took a step forward and forced a smile on her face to stay professional. There was no way she was going down at all; she was going to rise to the top by all means. She did not stay loyal to the Vale family, only to be humiliated and included in their petty fight like this. "

FINAL CHAPTER"Oh, I see," the doctor said, narrowing his eyes at the screen facing him. Cade had made a fuss even though Ophelia had told him that it was not necessary and made sure that she did all the tests possible."What is it, doctor?" Cade said one hand clutching Ophelia's hand tightly and the other in a ball on his legs. "Is she sick? How sick is she? Is it something serious?" he continued when the doctor did not say anything."From the test results we have gotten so far, she is three weeks pregnant," the man said. Cade blinked; he could not understand how he was supposed to react to the news. They had been trying for months now, but every time she did the test and found nothing, she got sad, so he told her that they should just live the way they would have lived if they had no child."Sorry doctor, what do you mean?" she asked, blinking rapidly at the man."I mean that you are three weeks pregnant, and the reason you felt that way was that you have blood pressure issues that
Ophelia was in her dad's living room, she came because he called and said he had something important to tell her and she had never heard her dad sound like that before but anyway, a lot of things had changed since her mom came. She and her mom had been in contact and every time her dad tried to contact her she cut off all possible links."You always talk about tardiness, and yet you are the one who kept me waiting today; you do realize that I am late to work, don't you?" Ophelia asked, standing up as her father came into the room."You must be grown now seeing that you are talking to me like that," Carter said as he sat down on one of the sofas."I have always been bold; you are the one who tried to silence me as much as you could..""I tried to silence you? I gave you a voice yet you are still going to paint me as the bad guy?" he asked shocked at her accusations. He might have ruined his marriage and home but he always tried his best to do the right thing for her. She may have lost
"So this does not happen much, does it?" Cael asked as they sat in the coffee shop. Desire had been serious about them getting coffee together and had seen it to the end, which, in all honesty, was weird to him."It sure does not," Desire said, taking a sip from her iced coffee. "And to think my mom was bugging me about dating and then I met you.""You are quite forward," Cael murmured, also taking the cup from hand to mouth. Cael could not tell her that his mom too was just bugging him about getting into a relationship. "I guess all moms are cut from the same clothes."They sure are," she said silently. She had thought this would go a bit differently than this bit; she was not complaining about this at all. It was warmer than all of the madness she had been through in the past few months. She had to deal with the divorce, and right after her mom was in jail for fraud."You are..." he trailed off."Another compliment, or is it an observation?" she murmured as she leaned into her chair
Cael walked through the cold walls of the prison; it had been three weeks since his mother was tried and found guilty by the court. He hated coming here, but since Charles had been able to get him exclusive rights, he could see his mother every weekend. Anytime he saw her, she always had the brightest smile on, as if she were right where she was supposed to be, and she always said he should not worry at all and that everything was okay with him."Don't you think you are here a lot?" Abigail asked as she sat down in the room. Charles's influence has gone as far as getting them both open rooms so they did not have to be stuck behind the glass booth."I only get to see you once a week after growing up with seeing you every day of my life; how am I supposed to live?" Cael asked."Stop acting like a child; you are good on your own," she said, smiling at him."You seem to be smiling more in here.""That is because I am free in here; I do not have to worry about making you the first or fight
Green showed up to court; he had been so shocked that Harper just suddenly disappeared on him one day. She left the country and was unreachable. He knew that even though she was around there, she would not have taken up any responsibility. Carter had told him that he was ready to go all out with the court case but thought of the time they had together and just let it be."I know you expect me to apologize for my actions, but I am not sorry for them," Green said to Ophelia after the session. They stood by the doors of the courtroom."You caused all of this damage, and yet you aren't sorry?" She asked shocked. She would not have believed it if she had not experienced it firsthand; if she had been told, she would have sworn on her life that Green was nothing like that."Damage? You knew I liked you; your father knew it also, but I was just an errand boy to you both. I did what I could do to make you notice me, and maybe it worked."Cade took a step forward, but Ophelia held her hand over
"Are you not going to do anything?" Harper asked Green. He had been housing her, and since Cade and Charles had taken back the media space, Green's little influence on one blog was not able to do any harm to them. He even wondered why they were being so quiet with their case. He was expecting some sort of court document that would be asking him to come for a hearing or something."What do you want me to do?" Green asked, taking a sip from her coffee."Anything, I thought you said that you could do a lot to make sure they do not end up together.""And you also said the same thing too," he replied. He was getting tired of her incessant nagging; she woke up each day and began to talk about how difficult her life had been, how much she had to leave behind to come to Cade, and how she was going to lose her mind. Green had always thought that he would lose his mind listening to her.His phone on the table vibrated; he looked at the screen and picked it up. At least going to work was one thi
Cael rushed into the police station confused about when to go; some of the men recognized him instantly, and one of the men went to him."How can I help you, sir?""My mom," he said. Since he saw the evidence two days ago, he had always played out a scenario in his mind where she was in jail and he went there, but none of his imagination had encompassed what he felt in the moment. He felt as if someone was taking hold of her heart and playing with it in whatever way they would like."Your mom?" the officer who stood in front of him asked in confusion."Yes," he said, shaking his head slowly with his eyes shut. "She came in this morning to turn herself in," he added.The officer gasped as he began to put things together, and they finally began to make sense. They wondered why a woman would step forward to turn herself in after fifteen years. If it were to be any other crime, the statutes of limitation might have been over, and she might have been let off with a fine or nothing at all,
"What is it?" Charles asked, looking at Cael, who had his phone to his ears even though they had all heard the line beep dead.His expression made it worse because no one could read it to tell what he felt. "Mom," his voice came out in a gasp."Abigail?" Charles said, looking around."Your mom? What's wrong with her?" Marie asked. She left for the airport in an hour, but Charles had insisted she stay for breakfast. She had hoped to see her daughter once again before she flew out, even if it was from a distance, but she was not sure if she would make it there."Mom," Cael said again. Charles had not worried about Abigail because it was not unusual for her to not show up at the table. She usually skipped breakfast, or some mornings, she had them at another time."Use your words, son," Charles said. Cael's changing expression was sending a signal to them at the table but none of them were able to pick it up."Did something happen? Why don't you say something? Say anything?" Valerie chip
