Cade got into his car and began to drive home, he was suddenly reminded of the interaction he had with Ophelia earlier. She had been the one to suggest that they go shopping but she did not pick up any of the clothes even though she looked breathtaking in them all. He was convinced that sometimes tabloids and rumours might be true.They had often said that Ophelia had the body of a goddess and could make any dress look fantastic by just wearing it. Dresses sold more just because she wore them and even some brands wished she was an influencer, They would pay just to have her model their dresses.He called the manager of the store, luckily he still had her contact. He was going to pick up the dresses and surprise her with them. He wondered why he wanted to do such a thing. As he thought of it he could not see reason as to why he was doing it but he could not talk himself out of it either way. It was as if he had to do it. What could go wrong with him buying some clothes for her? She wou
As they walked to the car, Ophelia thought of the reason Cade was taking her there. It was late at night why did he need to bring her out? All her questions flew out her head as soon as he opened up the boot of his car and sitting in them were bags from the store they had visited in the afternoon."What are these?" she barely managed to get out because of the shock she felt. She was not expecting that from him honestly if he had pulled up with a puppy she would have not been as surprised as she felt now."These" she said rushing to the bag and taking out the contents from one of them. "These," she said turning to him again with her mouth ajar in confusion. "They are the clothes from the store" he nodded his head like a proud dad who was pulling a moment with his children."They are" he said and she jumped on the spot with joy."These are the clothes from today" she said again and he nodded. "But how?" she asked going to rummage through the bags as she began to discover the shoes and b
"Hello" the voice on the phone was peepy like a little child who was excited about something. Ophelia drew the phone from her ears as she groaned annoyed. She was still sleeping. Who calls this early? The voice was unfamiliar to her but she knew that no one would have her private line except she gave it to them. She did not know any woman who was that happy so early in the morning.She struggled to get into a sitting position knowing that her morning voice sounded horrible. "Hello," she let out. Hearing herself made her realize how much of a growing teenage boy she sounded like in the morning."Oops Cade?" the voice came out and she knew that the person could tell that she was the one but was trying to get on her nerves while maintaining the appearance of being a nice person. The only person she had met in recent times who was that kind of person was Frances Gates and she immediately knew that this was the kind of stunt that she would pull.'Bring it on B**ch' Ophelia thought to herse
"Uggh" Frances exclaimed as she threw the phone to the bed."What is it" Cael groaned as he turned to the side as he stirred from his sleep."How can you be sleeping so soundly when everything is going so wrong" she asked rushing to sit by his side."Because a pretty face does not just happen like that, I have to have my beauty sleep as well," Cade said. She rolled her eyes and slapped his arm not too hard for it to hurt."Your pretty face would not mean anything if you lose to Cade""Why would you bring him up now? It is too early in the morning for you to be talking about him""Is it?" Abigail asked walking into the room. "To win a fight you need to know your enemy" she added going to pull open the windows."Mom? Really? Are you supporting Frances over your son?""Yes, I have to support the most reasonable person in the room" Abigail replied. Sometimes she wondered if her son had gotten switched out at birth. She had even been so extra that she had a DNA test done and it was a perfe
"Did you have to bring me here?" Cade asked as they walked into the house for the party."I had to, and you had to be here""Why?" he whined. Ophelia stopped and turned to him holding the collar of his shirt."If my speculations are right I have a feeling that your brother and girlfriend are trying to play the family card on your grandfather to make him see reasons to leave the company to him""And why does that matter?" Cade asked to shrug. "Isn't it obvious that all those kinds of things barely move grandfather? He is looking at power and competency, not some silly love"Ophelia shook her head as she rolled her eyes. "There is no doubt about that but..." she trailed off her eyes catching the glimpse of someone coming towards them. "Someone is coming, time to act" she leaned in whispering before going back and smiling at him."You look too good, I can barely take my eyes off you" she said dusting off the imaginary dust from his shirt. "Do not allow any girl to look at you okay?" she
"What are you doing here?" Cade asked stepping back so that there could be space between them since it was clear that she had no respect for personal space."Ohhh, your brother's girlfriend called me up and invited me to your brother's party and I was so excited to hear from her because I knew that there was the possibility that I would get to see you here" Harper replied closing the gap that Cade had made."Go on then and enjoy the party" Cade said turning to leave."Is that all you are going to say?" she asked going to stand in his way.Ophelia rolled her eyes in annoyance. She could not believe the nerve of this girl, how dare she try to cling to her husband right in front of her."Hello," Ophelia said trying to catch her attention."Oh, hello," she said with a giggle before adding in an exaggerated high-pitched voice. "I am so sorry, I was just too far excited to see him that was why I did not say my hello before"'Of course, you are far too excited to see my husband that you are
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

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
