“Mom, are you going to allow an illegitimate son to take over what you and Dad worked so hard to build?” Cael asked.

They had just had a very uncomfortable breakfast at the table with everyone sitting at the table and Charles continuously throwing praises at Cade for being able to use his marriage to pump up the image of the company.

Everyone knew they were putting on a show and Cael regretted it a bit because if he had known that his grandfather's choice for marriage was Ophelia Fris maybe he would have considered it. She was hot and he had tried to ask her out at a club before, she had brutally turned him down and trampled on his ego but that did not make her less hot and sexy to him, in fact, it made her more special in his eyes.

“Of course not,” Abigail said with a deep sigh. She could not say it but most times she wished Cade was her son. He was independent and got things done, Cael on the other hand just waited for his mom to get things done for him instead. Just like how it

    As Cade’s car rounded up the corner to the office he saw a familiar body and figure but believed his mind was playing tricks on him and as he got up close sure enough Harper Davis was standing there at the front door of his office building. “What is she doing here?” he asked himself causing his driver to look at him from the glass. “Sir?”“Not you,” Cade said dismissively. “Park the car” he said suddenly causing him to come to a halt and the cars in his convoy at the back too suddenly stopping. When Harper saw the convoy come in she knew he was the one and all she had to do was find a way to approach him. She blessed her stars now that their cars suddenly stopped a few meters from her. Luke the driver waited for instructions and Sue who was in the front right next to the driver kept checking his face for instructions. “Ms Sue, can you get security?”“For who or what sir?” Sue asked confused as she tried to review the environment from the side mirror and her eyes landed on the lady

    “You need to see this” Diana said to Ophelia. Opelia had requested an assistant to help her out, she was going to resume work soon anyway so it was not difficult to assign her one. Carter had it all planned out, after her wedding and maybe honeymoon he would introduce her to the company as a subsidiary CEO while she planned to take over maybe after a year or two depending on how well she was able to get people on her side. “See what?” Ophelia stretched out to take out the tablet from her hand. Staring back at her from the screen was a picture of a woman hugging Cade. She stared at the picture intently, she told herself that she did not care about the image. “So what should I do?” she asked trying to sound nonchalant about it. “Erm” Diana started but stopped because she did not know how to say what she wanted to say to her in a way she would be okay with. “Speak” Ophelia commanded. “So, Mr Frost has filled me in on the situation with Mr Vale and I know you are getting married to

    “I am calling him up now,” Ophelia said putting the dialling tone phone on her ears. She had to call repeatedly because he was not picking up his calls. “I am at work and I can not tolerate you continuously calling me while I am at work” Cade said as he finally picked up putting the phone to his ears. “But surely you would have time to explain the pictures circulating?” Ophelia asked annoyed he was okay with the pictures. “What pictures?” he asked switching his phone from his ears to loudspeaker and typing furiously on his computer in front of him. Soon enough the picture was staring at him. “Mr Vale there is an emergency” Sue said bursting forth into the room. Cade looked up from his system to her. “I have seen it” he dismissed her and she left sheepishly. “Care to explain yourself?” Ophelia asked.Cade did not know if it was a wise idea to explain himself over the phone or if he had to keep to himself. “You better speak up and not leave anything out. I can not be working so ha

    “Mom, did you see this?” Cael asked entering his mom’s room again. He had only left a few hours ago but he was back there to show his mother how helpful the entire universe was to them. “See what?” Abigail asked taking the phone he was stretching to her and reading the contents of the article there. “Wonderful isn’t it?” Cael asked giddy about the situation. “What do we know about her?” Abigail asked. Girls always flocked around Cade so seeing him with a woman was not useful unless the woman was in some sort of way useful to them. Cael had a confused expression on his face as he watched his mother. “Don’t tell me you came in here without having any information regarding her and you are expecting me to applaud you? For what? For finding an article that was posted in a public space?” she was going to be harder on her son. That would be the only way he would get wiser and do better. “I do not know anything about her yet but we can invite her to our house and find something out from

    “What is all the fuss about?” Charles asked as he saw staff going in and out of the house from his window. “Mrs Vale invited a catering service to come to serve Japanese food,” the girl standing behind him said. “I have told you not to address her as that,” Charles said slowly. He never approved of Abigail and will never approve of her. His son Edward had defiled him and gone ahead to marry her against his will. Ana gulped as she did not know the right way to address the woman. She was married to Edward Vale and had taken his last name, all of her official papers carried that name but Charles had victimized her about it for fourteen years now. Charles had forbidden them from referring to her as the lady of the house as well. It was part of that reason that he openly accepted Cade when he came and put him in the family tree while hiding the fact that he was an illegitimate child. His son had declared his undying love for his wife when they eloped and married and then came back to t

    Cade left them in the room and Harper tried to follow him out. “Cade Cade Cade” she kept repeating his name as she followed after him. He stopped at the base of the stairs and turned back to her. “What are you doing here?” he asked her. She giggled and then tried to pull a straight face. It was obvious she was drunk. Harper had been so nervous about the situation that she had a glass and two of wine before making it out there. If one did not look closely at her they would think she was sober when in fact she was tipsy. “You are drunk?” he said in the form of a question. “Oh my, that is scary, you still know me so well” she gasped as she walked to him. “What is scary? If one looks well they can tell that you are drunk” Cade said taking a step to the first step to create space between them.“Do you still love me?” she asked clapping her hands excitedly. “Why is everyone doing this to me today?” Cade said under his breath. “Who else did this to you?”“My girlfriend asked me if I w

    “What do you say about us getting engaged today?”“What?” Ophelia asked her hand dropping from her face. She was preparing to go out shopping, she had nothing to do and shopping was the best option for her. She would go out and spend as much money as she could. “Let us get engaged today,” he said again. “What has got your panties in a rush?”“That is not an appropriate thing to say to a grown man” Cade let out shocked that she would say something like that to him. “Why? Don’t you wear panties?” she teased. Maybe teasing him would help her relieve some of the stress she was feeling as regards the statement he had made. “I do….” he trailed off. “That is beside the point, the point I am trying to drive at is that I think we should have the engagement today. However, you want it to be public or private”“Don’t you think you are rushing things and jumping the gun here?” Ophelia let out a strained voice. “Rushing it? We are going to get married at the end of the day so doing it earlier

    Ophelia and Cade met at the house and to ease the awkwardness of him coming clean about his family to her he suggested that they do a house tour. Ophelia knew the house like the back of her hand but to put him at ease she agreed and followed along. She had chosen the house by herself when she was still much younger. Her father had told her he would give it to her when she got married because she loved the house too much and she had been excited about it at that time, shortly after that she saw the dark side of marriage and suddenly it was no longer enticing to live there. “I got this wedding gift from my dad when I was six years” she let out as they went from room to room. It was well-furnished and perfect. She noticed that her dad had kept the same design but had updated it with newer technology. It must have been a difficult task but of course, Mr Carter Frost was equal to the task. “Six years? Was he preparing to marry you off to some rich old man?” Cade joked trying to wear off

    Cade had managed to convince Valerie to be standing in front of the Vale mansion at that moment. Her palms were sweating, and no matter the number of times she rubbed them against her skirt and handkerchief, the sweat flowed so freely that it made her think that maybe she was sick."Cade, let me just go back," she said suddenly as she thought that maybe he did not really need to get his apology. She was fine with whatever happened; she definitely could not show up in front of the almighty Charles Vale."Ms. Valerie, I really do want to forgive you and begin to figure out a way that we can have a relationship," Cade said, turning to him. "If you do not want that, you can walk away again," he said harshly before adding in a low tone but still trying his best to make it heard by her. "Just like you did before."The words were enough to get Valerie riled up; she had to do what it took to restore the relationship with her son, and that was the reason she came here after all. She returned t

    Cade had agreed to meet with his mom; she said she had something to tell him, and even though this was tough for him, he agreed to have lunch with her. After meeting with her, he was scheduled to go home and meet with his grandfather. He had to iron out the problems now before they went on to pose problems for him soon."Thank you for meeting me," Valerie said as Cade sat down on the chair in the cafe. They agreed to meet. He only agreed to meet her out in the open because he was sure that this wouldn't spark any rumours, and in case anything came up from Haperr posting any images, this could serve as evidence that it was just a friendly meeting like this one."Everyone needs to get a chance to right the wrong," he said, like he was giving him the opportunity of a lifetime."Thank you," she said again. She raised her head and looked around. "Do you want something to drink?" she said, fumbling with her bag to get out her purse from it. "I will buy you something," she said, holding onto

    "You barely even touched your breakfast," Cade said, following behind her as she rushed out the door."I am late and would be even later if I spared a second to eat." She said with a full mouth as she tried to chew down the bite of the sandwich she had taken. She had taken as many bites as her mouth could take because she felt bad for not eating the meal he had taken his time to prepare for her."You are the boss; I am sure the company can run without you for a few seconds," he said."You know what you are right but still wrong," she said, stopping in her tracks. She turned to him and planted a quick kiss on his lips, and then she was out of the door before he could say a word.He just realized that maybe she would have gotten to eat the breakfast if he had packed it fully, so he rushed back to the kitchen to get the sandwiches left out on the table into a clear disposable bag for her, but by the time he got out of the floor, she was already long gone. "What am I going to do all by my

    Cade opened his eyes and looked beside him almost immediately; it was like he was trying to confirm if he was in a dream or if everything that happened at night was real, and Ophelia was beside him, sleeping soundly. It felt too surreal as he stretched out his hand and patted down her head. "It's real," he said, kissing her forehead gently. He silently pulled himself off the bed. He was supposed to go to work, but luckily for him, he had given his assistant off days, meaning he could also use that as an excuse to skip work.Ophelia's eyes fluttered open as she looked around."It's not my room," she said in a loving tone."It's not mine," she said, sitting up in bed, wrapping the blanket over her body.She watched the door open, and Cade came in with two glasses on a tray in his hand. "There you are," she said, biting her bottom lips in a coy manner."You are awake already," he said, rushing to the side of the bed as he carefully dropped the tray to the side of the bed and sat down bes

    They sat there for a good moment discussing back and forth how she could be Toria and why she was confessing now. She told him that she had to tell him so he would know when the seed of liking him was sowed into her life. By the time they had concluded talking about it, it was already well into the evening."I was jealous" Ophelia murmured. Now they were sitting comfortably with her hand on his forearm. It was a better position than the upright position they had before."Jealous?" he asked, shocked that she would ever say that. Did he ever do anything to make her jealous?"Yes, how could you even think to leave me all alone here and go on a trip with your ex-girlfriend?""I did not go on a trip with my ex-girlfriend; I went on a trip, and my ex-girlfriend, who happens to be my assistant, accompanied me on the work trip, he said, trying to defend himself."You still went on one and if anyone ever hears this they would not be able to understand it" she replied."I had no choice" he trie

    "You are going to hurt your back," Cade finally murmured after they had stayed in the bent position for a few more seconds. "And mine too," he added in a strained voice and let out a loud groan as he put her to her feet and held her waist to himself."Stand still I wanted to look at you more" she said. He stared into her eyes and it was like she was passed or something. He could not understand what she was saying. Her actions and words did not seem to match, she had been so angry and stormed out on him earlier but now she was back and asking him to stand still so she could stare at him."The food" he murmured. She placed a finger across his lips and made a shushing sound to him. "It would get burnt" he said, she felt his mouth move under her finger and cause a certain kind of vibration through her entire being."I am really holding myself back here," she said taking a step back. His hands that had been wrapped around her waist fell to his side."So am I" she said taking more steps unt

    Ophelia paced around her room; she could not believe her ears. She wondered why she felt so angry and violated to hear him say that he liked her when that was what she wanted. It truly did not make sense, but that was how her mind decided it wanted to work at that time.She sat on her bed, pressed her forehead with her fingers, and closed her eyes tightly. This was not how any of this was supposed to go. She did not know how it was supposed to go, but this was not it.She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard a knock on the door. "I know you do not want to talk to me," his voice rang through the door.She held in a breath inside her cheeks and stood up. "I know you are angry, but I do not know why, even though it seems like I should know why, and it is killing me not to know," he added.She began to walk to the door, trying to make sure her feet did not make too much sound as they touched the ground. "We can talk about this any time you are ready, but please do not take too lon

    Ophelia blinked rapidly; her brain was trying to tell her to say something, but her mouth could not process what she was to say. She gulped and tried to close her mouth that had been left open, but nothing worked. It was as if her brain had gone frozen and her body was working without it."Ophelia?" Cade said, snapping his fingers in her face. She blinked and snapped back to reality."What did you say?" She murmured, almost chewing on her finger."I said I like you; that is what I want to say.""That's impossible," she said, beginning to pace the entire floor. "That cannot be," she added, and he shook his head."I do like you," he said as if to make sure that she heard what he was saying to her."You like me?" she said again, sitting back on the stool and then jumping off it and then pacing around again."You are going to bore a hole into the floor," he said when he did notice that she was pacing around more than someone should."I don't care," she muttered, stopping suddenly, turning

    Ophelia swallowed the pride that she had and followed him home. The staff at her office looked at them lovingly, and she even heard comments from some of them on how they wanted exactly what they had. She wished she could tell them to be careful about what they wished. To everyone, they were this loving power couple, but she exactly knew what they were to each other—two strangers who barely spiked with one another who just had a marriage certificate and lived together.The ride home was awfully quiet, and it made words float around in her brain as she tried to think of what he could want to talk about with her. She fumbled with the radio until she was able to put on a station that was not setting a mood for them. She turned out of the rambling from the radio as she began to think of how the trip was and what went down between Harper and him. She wanted to tell him what she had found about Green and how she had thought of bringing him down.They got home, and Cade walked to the kitchen
