The cake was cut and now they were sitting at tables to eat, Ophelia and Cade were invited by his grandfather to sit at the same table as he was sitting because they were family just as Frances claimed, Frances had earlier planned to remove them from their table but Charles had insisted that Frances knew it was pointless to argue with him about it."Why haven't you come with your wife to visit me one of these days?" Charles asked as they ate."We have both been so busy that we have not been able to squeeze out time""You scoundrels" Charles backed at them. "You should do better" he added."We are sorry about that and we shall soon come to say Hello, very soon," Cade said. He knew that his grandfather was still very traditional in his thinking and there was no separating them, there was nothing he could do about it too."You had better" Charles added."Oh Charles, you are busy going on and on about Cade when it is Cael's birthday today" Abigail said."Do you have to bring that up now?"
"Why did you not say anything about us staying here""Because I thought you were handling the conversation pretty well" Cade replied with his back to her.They had gotten to bed after all the guests had left. When they had first attempted to step away from the party, Frances had come up and held them down with the excuse that the night had just begun. It was not until almost everyone was unable to hold their liquor anymore that she announced that the party was over.Ophelia and Cade went to the room silent but mostly because both of them were tipsy. They stumbled into bed and were now lying side by side."Do you think your excuse makes sense?" Ophelia asked then followed by a hiccup."Why wouldn't it?" he followed up shutting his eyes because of the pain that surged through his body because of the excessive drinking spree he had involved himself in."Are you trying to annoy me?" she asked sitting up in bed abruptly almost screaming at him."Lay back down and keep your choice down, rem
Cade woke up to the vibration of his phone on the nightstand, he groaned as he struggled to pick up the phone. Living this long had taught him never to answer the phone without first checking the caller. He picked up the phone before closing his eyes."Come to the study immediately" the line cut dead. Cade stayed still for a few more seconds on the bed before he pushed himself off the bed into a sitting position. It was not a new thing to him for his grandfather to call him into the study sometimes to discuss a range of things."Where are you going?" Ophelia asked as she thought of the possibility that Harper was still in the house and they had agreed to meet up. She wondered if he would go running when she called. She also wondered what his family would say. Would they be glad that there was a loophole in their marriage and that Harper could help them wreck their marriage?"My grandfather called for me" Cade said before whispering "Did I wake you?""I have been awake for a while now"
Cade knocked on the door and waited to hear from Charles. "Come in" the gruffy voice from inside commanded. Cade opened the door and pushed himself in with Ophelia on his tail. Her goal there today was to charm him. He might seem like a closed-off man but she knew that since he was asking his grandchildren to start families to be entitled to the company then he was probably a softie at heart."What took you so long," Charles asked taking off his glasses from his face. He rolled his chair towards them and Ophelia titled her head in wonder. All the times she had met him he had been walking, she wondered why he was bound to a chair after seeing him walk last night."I came with him and I was the one who took his time" Ophelia's tone was different. She was like a child who was trying to get something from his parents. Cade was so taken aback by her tone that he almost asked her what had happened."You came with him?" Charles asked his eyes shifting to Ophelia who now left Cade's back and
"You scoundrel," Charles said in a warning tone. "Why are you screaming?""Because this was not what we agreed on""What did we agree on?" Charles asked turning his face to the side. Cade was right, he had changed his mind but not because he wanted to just change it for no reason."You told me that you were going to name me the heir as soon as I got married and now I have to earn it? and by what? A child?" he asked shifting to the edge of his seat as his legs shook violently."What can I do? I have to do all I can to protect my company. I worked hard to make it what it is today. I have to choose the right candidate" Charles said."But..." Cade trailed off because of the sudden warmth he felt from his trousers. He looked down at his legs and saw Ophelia's hands running slowly across the length of his legs."Grandpa" Opehla said slowly and silently causing his face to turn to her and soften. "You can not just change your mind" she added."I know that but I had to, and what is the big de
"You finally made it down for breakfast," Frances said as they entered the dining table area."We are sorry" Ophelia replied clinging onto Cade's arms. Cade felt a bit scared because he had expected Ophelia to rain down hell on him for what his grandfather had done. Instead of being a pain she had been quiet and changed out of her clothes to the clothes Frances had prepared for her before telling him that they should go down for breakfast.Now she was holding onto him and still pretending so well, maybe she was now okay with the idea of them being intimate and with the idea of them having a child. He dreaded the conversation they were going to have about this when they got back home. The only words she had told him as they left the room was that he had to make sure that they acted better than they had been doing up until now."We could barely keep our hands off each other" she added. She was going to act more now because she had a larger shoe to fill."We did not need to know that," C
"You really went all out, I have to say that you outdid yourself," Cade said as they drove home. They had just successfully been able to leave the house after all the things that Ophelia had pulled with them."One of us has to try," Ophelia said absent-mindedly looking out the window. The conversation between Charles and the both of them kept on replaying in her head. How was she to get out of this situation or was she to go back on her word all of a sudden?"Are you okay? Is this about what my grandfather said?" he asked noticing her mood."Yeah," she said in a weary voice."You do not have to take what he said to heart," Cade said as they entered into the estate gate. "We can go back after a moment and tell them a sob story that we tried and it was not working""Do you think my mind has not wandered that far?" she asked turning to him. "Do you know that there are so many medical advancements that can allow one to conceive a child out of the body""Do you think making a child in a te
"Thank you once again for these," Harper said waving the bag in the air. This was a miracle for her because she knew that things might be tough of she had to pay for the things herself."What about lunch?" Green asked. Harper hoped that he did not have interest in her after seeing her at the party and this was his way of coming on to her. "Don't worry it's on me, as I said I have something to ask you sooo..." he trailed off. She had been quiet trying to study his face.He did not look nervous and he was not trying to avoid eye contact, maybe she was just being extra and he actually needed a favour from her. "Sure, we can," she said. It was just a harmless lunch and they would have it where everyone could see. Nothing more than lunch."Okay then let's go" he said turning and leading her to where he had parked his car. They got in and he took her to a neighbourhood breakfast club.Seeing the place, Harper's fears disappeared because she knew that someone of his status would not bring a

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
