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

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
