Ophelia came down for breakfast, she had been in the city now for three weeks and this was the first time she was getting to have breakfast with her father, unfortunately for her, she did not know that Green was at the table before she came down otherwise she might have tried her best to avoid him. “How hard can it be for a father to see his daughter?” Carter said as Ophelia sat beside him where they had set her utensils down for use trying her best to avoid eye contact with Green.“One would think you actually care if they heard you, be careful not to spread misconceptions” Ophelia replied taking the coffee to her mouth and throwing it back into the cup in annoyance. “WHO DID THIS?” she shrieked. Green had made it clear she was not a fan of anything bitter, she wondered why black unprocessed and unsweetened coffee was sitting in front of her. “I asked them to prepare that for you” Carter said using his hand to dismiss the staff who came to respond. “Why would you do that?” she sa
Harper looked around the plane, she could not believe that after saving all her income for such a long time she was still unable to save enough to afford a first-class ticket. After paying the deposit for the house she intended to rent and putting some other things in place she had nothing left and could barely scrap enough for a nice airline. She hated the condition of the plane but she was sucking it up because she had a plan. If Cade could once be interested in her she was sure that she could find a way to make him interested in her once again. They had dated while he was in school, to her he was everything he wanted and to him, she was nothing more than a fling. “Just a few more hours” she muttered to herself. By the time they landed at the international airport of Rosewood City, she was convinced that it should be called the business hub. The airport was teeming with men in suits and women in corporate wear. In Starlit Haven, things were quite different. The airport was mostly
Talking with Rose Harper was able to get useful information about the Vale family. Now she knew that she needed to show up at his office and she even knew how to get there, she was sure he would be happy to see her, probably filled with overwhelming joy. She looked up at the building in front of her and it was so big that she wondered how many floors there were, pointing to the building she began to try to count the floors by the window but was interrupted by a security guard coming to stand beside her. “Can I help you?” she asked taking her eyes off the building and landing it on him. She studied him from up to down and wondered if it was something in the air or it was the universe's way of telling her good luck but she had only been meeting smoking hot people since she got there. “Uhm, ma'am I should be asking you that, how can I help you?” he asked and she could not believe his voice as well. It was as deep as she thought it would sound but she wondered why she still felt surpri
“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
