Ophelia's pov

“Yes,” I said.

I was not lying but I wasn't completely honest either.

I was happy with my life now. I have Nichole as my best friend in my life. There was Daniel. I might just have met him but he treated me like a senior brother would treat his sister.

I have a job that is putting food on my table and a roof over my head.

I might not have gotten everything I wanted but it was enough for now.

I could feel the tension building, but I wasn’t going to let him see it.

I stood up straighter, pushing my shoulders back as I met his gaze. No more vulnerability. No more second-guessing myself in front of him.

I wasn’t that naive girl anymore, and I wasn’t going to fall for whatever game he was trying to play.

He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, I cut him off.

“Why didn’t you stop the news from escalating?” I asked, my voice colder than I intended.

Ryder froze, his brows furrowing. "What are you talking about?"

I swallowed my frustration, feeling the tightness in my

    Ophelia PovAfter Daniel dropped me at home and I entered my apartment, I let out a deep breath, feeling the weight of the evening settle over me. My confrontation with Ryder had drained me, leaving behind an exhaustion that seeped into my bones. I kicked off my shoes and walked straight to my bedroom, not bothering to turn on the lights. The room was dimly lit by the glow of the street lights outside, casting faint shadows across the walls. I peeled off my dress and went to the bathroom, going under the shower and turning the water open. After staying under the shower for less than one minute, for the water to wash the sweat and stress from my body, I slipped into a comfortable singlet that covered only my breast and shorts, my body aching for rest. Climbing into bed, I pulled the blankets up to my chin, hoping that sleep would come quickly and wash away the turmoil churning inside me. But even as I closed my eyes, Ryder’s face lingered in my mind. The way he looked at me, th

  • Married to my sister's husband    Chapter 114 

    Ophelia’s POV By the time I finished packing— with Nichole’s not-so-subtle supervision— I was already exhausted. The weight of everything I had been holding in the past few days, combined with the upcoming trip, left my mind spinning. Still, a part of me was looking forward to it. Maybe, just maybe, a change of scenery would help. After freshening up, I dressed in a casual but stylish and comfortable travel outfit, high-waisted maternity leggings, and a loose-fitting blouse that made me feel comfortable and put together. Daniel drove us to the airport, where we would meet up with the others. The private terminal was quiet, with only a handful of people waiting for the flight. David was already there with Camilla when we got there. When Camilla spotted me, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over, pulling me into a warm hug. “Eva! I am so happy you came.” I smiled, returning her hug. “Well, I was not given a choice to reject it,”Camilla laughed, pulling back to study me. “You

    Ophelia’s PovThe flight was smooth, but my mind was anything but it I kept my hands folded in my lap, my eyes focused on the clouds outside, pretending I wasn’t hyper-aware of the man sitting next to me. Ryder hadn't said anything else after our brief exchange, but his presence was suffocating. Every now and then, I could feel his gaze on me, and it took everything in me to act like I didn’t notice them. Camilla and David were still chatting excitedly about the vacation plans, while Daniel and Nichole whispered between themselves, lost in their little love bubble. I envied them. Just as I thought I could survive the rest of the flight in silence, Ryder leaned in slightly. His voice was low, almost thoughtful. “You still grip the seat during takeoff.” I tensed, my fingers curling slightly. “It is normal. A lot of people don’t like flying.” He hummed as if considering my words. “You didn’t let go of my hand immediately, though. Like you didn't want to” My head snapped t

    Ophelia's Pov The sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a golden glow over the ocean. The laughter of my friends filled the air, but I was only half-present. My body was here, floating in the cool water, but my mind was restless. Ryder’s words still echoed in my head. "Or maybe you are just avoiding something."I wasn’t avoiding anything. At least, that was what I told myself. Daniel and David were competing to see who could stay underwater the longest, while Camilla cheered them on from the shore. Nichole was floating beside me, her arms stretched out as she sighed in contentment. “This is perfect,” she murmured. “I wish we could stay here forever.” I nodded absently, my gaze drifting to the shore. Ryder stood near the water’s edge, his hands in his pockets, watching them compete in the water, but occasionally, his eyes flickered to me. Watching me.A small wave rocked my balance, and I sucked in a sharp breath as I steadied myself. “You okay?” Nichole asked, glancing

    Ophelia's PovI should have said no. I should have excused myself, claimed exhaustion, or feigned a sudden need to check on something in my room. But instead, I let Nichole and Camilla’s excitement pull me in, and now here I was— stuck in a game I wanted no part of.The game is nothing different from truth or dare. Camilla came back with the cards, shuffled the deck of cards, and spread them in the middle of the table, a grin on her face. “Alright, I will go first.” She picked a card and flipped it over. “It says tell us about your first kiss.” David groaned. “Really? We all know your first kiss was in Paris with that guy from your art class.” Camilla gasped, smacking his arm. “Ugh, don’t ruin my moment, David!” Laughter rippled around the table, but I barely heard it. Because Ryder was watching me again. Why can't he take his eyes off me? He is keeping his eyes on me, watching me like a hawk. I clenched my fists under the table. One by one, the game continued, eve

    Ophelia's pov I was breathing hard, my chest rising and falling rapidly. My hand stung from the impact, but it was nothing compared to the fire raging inside me.His gaze flickered with something— regret, maybe— but it was gone as quickly as it appeared. He exhaled sharply, his fingers flexing at his cheeks. “I needed to know.” His voice was rough, low, but firm. “You don’t get to ask me that.” My voice rose, heat rushing up my neck. “You don’t get to stand here and throw disgusting accusations at me.” I shook my head in disbelief. “You are disgusting. Do you really think so little of me?”I heard footsteps approaching, but I barely registered them before a voice cut through the tension between Ryder and me.“What the hell is going on ?” Camilla. I turned sharply to see her standing at the entrance of the bar area, her eyes flicking between me and Ryder. Behind her were Nichole and Daniel, who just appeared with their faces marked with confusion and concern. David also ap

    Ryder's PovI stood outside her room, waiting for Daniel to come out, my fists clenched at my sides, jaw tight. I saw her sobbing in his arms by the beach. I had seen her sobbing in Daniel’s arms. I had seen the way she had broken down and cried, the way her body had trembled with a pain so raw it had gutted me. It was a sight that burned itself into my mind, a knife twisting in my gut. I could hear the hurt in her voice as she cried and screamed, clutching into Daniel.Seeing her break down like that, seeing her clutch onto Daniel as if he were her lifeline, made something dark coil inside me. The door finally opened, and Daniel stepped out. He closed the door gently behind him and let out a sigh. His face was unreadable at first, but when he saw me, his expression hardenedI pushed off the wall. “How is she?” Daniel sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “She cried herself to sleep.” Something in me twisted. It was all because of me. I made her cry. I made her break down.

    Ophelia's PovThe morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, warming my face. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling.I remembered what happened the previous night, and I turned my face in the direction of the sunlight from the slightly opened curtain, but it did nothing to chase away the cold emptiness in my chest. I lay still, my body heavy with exhaustion. My head ached from all the crying from last night, my throat raw from the sobs and screams I had let out the night before. I had tried to hold myself together, but everything had come crashing down when I saw Daniel. I was just sitting staring out at the beach, holding myself from breaking down but the look on Daniel's face broke me.And he had seen me break. Ryder had seen me at my worst. He had seen me in my vulnerable state. A part of me hated that he had seen me like that— weak, vulnerable, shattered. But another part of me was too tired to care anymore. If at all, I was glad I was able to cry out my pain.A s

You all look good,” she said, checking the three of them.“Granny, you want to know the secret? Richard asked.“Yes,” Mum answered.“Then you must give us cookies first,” Raymond said and they all grinned at her. She laughed at the boys’ tactics before following them inside.“My mum doesn't even care about me anymore,” I told Ryder as we walked inside the house and headed to the garden where everyone would be.“That makes the two of us,” he pulled me closer to him and I smiled.“Love birds, thank you for gracing us with your presence this late,” Lily said from where she was grilling meat. “Sometimes I wonder, it takes up all your time, but then I remember that you have 3 boys, and you could be trying for a girl,” Daniel said, walking towards us.

He didn't want a repetition of what happened with Ryan when he was little.The car pulled in front of the cemetery and I looked back at the boys.“Ready?” I asked and they all nodded.Ryder held Richard and Raymond as they walked in front of Ryan and me.“Mum, did you talk to dad?” Ryan whispered to me.“I tried my best, but you know he loves you and loves what you do,” I told him, and I watched him return his eyes to the floor.“I just want him to see how good I am at playing,” he said, his voice low and my heart reached for him.He just wanted Ryder to see how good he is but what he doesn't know is that Ryder knows. I always record him playing, and we both watch it at night before we sleep.“He knows you are good. You are

    Ophelia's Pov “Ryan, Richard, Raymond, come down this minute,” I shouted at the top of my voice as I carried plates out from the kitchen to the dining table.I heard multiple steps running down the stairs. I sighed, tired of telling them to stop running around the house.“Mum, I need help with my hair,”“Mum, I can't find my blue shirt,”“Mum, where did you put my socks,”The three of them all said together immediately they stopped in front of me.I looked at them in awe.Ryan was dressed, but his hair was still damp from the shower, Richard was holding an orange shirt, and Raymond was barefoot.“I will help with your hair after breakfast, Your shirt is in the second drawer by the left, and your socks are in the basket beside your bed,” I answered them and turned, returning to the kitchen.“I didn't see it there,” I heard Raymond complain as his brother's footsteps faded up the stairs.“If you check properly, you will see it,” I shouted from the kitchen and heard him mumble under his

    Ophelia's Pov I felt a little hand holding onto my hand. I felt weak and heavy in a kind of way.“She will be fine,” I heard Olivia's voice.I opened my eyes slowly but shut them when the light rays entered my eyes.“Too bright,” I muttered as I opened them again but this time more slowly.“Ophelia?” Olivia came to the other side of the bed. Her eyes were puffy as worry etched on her face.Did she cry? I thought to myself before I heard Ryan's voice beside me on the bed.“Mama,” he had a wide smile on his face as he held onto my hand and the other one on my face.I raised my body up to sit down when I felt like something was taken from my body.“Olivia, where is my baby?” I asked as I looked around the room for my baby.“Relax Ophelia, your baby is fine. He is in another room receiving care,” she smiled at me even though her eyes were saying another thing.“My baby is a boy?” I asked as joy slowly crept into my voice.“Yes,” Olivia replied with a gentle nod, her voice cracking just

    Ryder's Pov The voices around me faded as I stared at the door long and hard, the image of her lifeless body boring my head.I slumped to the floor as tears flooded down my face. I didn't know for how long I sat on the floor until I heard a footstep behind me.“Ryder” I heard a familiar voice and raised up my head. Olivia was standing over me, her eyes worried as she looked down at me.“Why are you on the floor? Is the delivery successful?” She asked as her eyes moved to the door swiftly.“The delivery was successful,” I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper as I kept my gaze on the door. “We have a baby boy.” Her eyes lit up briefly, “That is good news, when will they be done with her in there?” She asked and I didn't reply to her. I didn't respond. Not because I didn't want to but because I didn't know what to tell her exactly. Her eyes dimmed when she noticed the way I was trembling. “Why are you out here like this?” she asked, crouching beside me. “Is Ophelia and t

    Ryder's Pov I entered the room where Ophelia was and saw a nurse with her.“Babe, are you okay?” I asked immediately I got to her side, and the nurse excused us. “I started coming immediately the driver called me and told me what happened. Are you in any pain?” My drive to the hospital was a reckless one after I got a call from the driver. I honestly didn't know how I got to the hospital so quickly.She nodded. “I need to have more contractions before I can be fully dilated and go into labor,” she told me, and I rubbed my hand on hers as a sign of support.Her eyes moved behind me, and I followed her gaze to Olivia, who was standing by the door, just staring at us. Just then, her eyes flickered to Ryan, who was sleeping on my shoulder.“Did you talk to her?” she asked, her voice in a whisper only for me to hear. I shook my head.“You should talk to her. It won't be bad to have that talk with her now,” she said and I shook my head.“Not while you are yet to give birth. I am not leavi

    Ophelia's Pov I checked myself in the mirror for the last time to make sure I was ready before taking my bag and heading to the living room.“Good morning, babe,” Ryder said from the kitchen as soon as he saw me coming from the stairs. I went into the kitchen where he was cooking wearing an apron. He looked very sexy and hot. I don't know if it was my hormones messing with me but I wanted to jump on him and have my way with him.I kissed his lips, lingering much longer than I anticipated.“Good morning,” I said and peeked at what he was cooking. “You are really good in the kitchen. It is very attractive and hot” I said, inhaling the sweet scent of the food.“You are becoming more daring,” he looked at me in awareness. “Anything for my wife,” he said before taking my lips in his.After a few seconds, I pulled away from him. “We better stop before we return to the bedroom to finish what we started,”“That is far. We could do it right here,” he winked at me, and I slapped his chest play

    Ophelia's Pov I opened my eyes to the cold room. I checked beside me but didn't find Ryder with me. The duvet was on me which I didn't do myself.I swung my leg to the floor and stood up from the bed. I headed to the living room, and I saw Mum sleeping on the couch.What is she still doing here? I thought she went home.I walked past her to the kitchen to make myself something to eat. At the sound of moving about and making noise, she woke up and sat straight, rubbing her eyes.When her eyes settled on me, she stood up immediately.“You should go home, Mum. You will have body pain by sleeping on the couch,” I said without giving her a glance.“I am not leaving until you talk to me,” I continued doing what I was doing.“And I don't want to,” I said.“Please, even if it is the last thing you do if I join your father,” I froze before turning to look at her.“Are you threatening me with that now? I have lost Dad, not you, again. Is that how you want to play it? I am angry with you but I

    Ophelia's Pov I moved my eyes from the bottles on the table to Mum.“What truth mum?” I asked, curiosity eating me up.“I would like you to listen to the story I am about to tell you,” I said slowly, trying to gain my acceptance and I nodded.“When your father died, it was the darkest time of my life. I couldn't handle a kid all by myself not to talk more of two girls.I tried to handle both of you together, bring you closer, and make sure you are alright, but you withdrew yourself totally. I should have put in more effort but I didn't. I only made sure you were safe because of your illness, but emotionally, I didn't try.Olivia was the only one who I was close to so when the two of you went to university, I didn't monitor her like I did to you. I knew nothing about her love life or health,” she paused before continuing.“Few days for you both to graduate, I stumbled across your book when you wrote about hating a guy Olivia was with. Then I started looking after her and that was when
