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.

  • Married to my sister's husband    Chapter 119

    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

  • Married to my sister's husband    Chapter 120

    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

    Ophelia's Pov “How long have you been out here?” I asked him, and he scratched the back of his neck. He would normally do that when he was nervous.“Not quite long,” he said and I nodded. There was silence between us and I knew he was trying to find the right words to say.“How are you doing?” He asked and I raised my eyebrows at him.“I am better than before,” I answered and was about to leave my door.“I am sorry,” I stopped but didn't look at him, I kept my eyes on my stomach. “I am sorry for accusing you wrongly. I shouldn't have,”“Is that all?” I asked and turned to look at him when I didn't get any reply from him.“Is that all you are sorry for?” His eyes held guilt in them but I wanted to hear him admit it to me. I wasn't going to read the meaning in his expression like I used to.“I am sorry for everything. I am sorry for hurting you. I am sorry for making you cry. I am sorry for making you go through so much. I am sorry for not looking for you earlier. I am sorry,” he wal

    Ophelia's pov I explained everything to her, leaving nothing out. I was transparent with her so she could see the reasons I didn't tell her. “I didn't want you to think of me in another way and I didn't tell you. I am sorry. I don’t expect you to forgive me right away, but I just… I don’t want to lose you.”Nichole was silent for a moment just looking at me. Then she let out a long breath. “You are an idiot, you know that?” A small, shaky laugh escaped me, relieved “I know.” She stared at me for a few seconds, then stepped forward and pulled me into a hug. I froze for a moment before wrapping my arms around her, a tear slipping down my cheek. “I think you are still the sweetest and kindest soul ever,” she murmured. “You think?”“I know,” she said before pulling away from me.“I know you have been through a lot but we will figure it out.” She smiled at me. “Together,” I nodded, cleaning my tearsRelief washed over me, and I pulled her to me, hugging her and holding on to he

He is making it hard for me to reject him. He is being kind and caring and I don't want him.His expression changed. “Your eyes,” he whispered.My face etched into a frown. “What is wrong with it?”“They are green. How?” He looked puzzled like he had seen a ghost. “My eye color changes with time. I had green eyes when I was little” I turned back to my plate and started eating like the rest. The table was filled with light conversation and laughter. I could feel Ryder's presence beside me, too strong to avoid.When we were done, Camilla said, “We have a barbecue later in the evening, but first, let's head inside.” Everyone got up, chatting as they made their way inside. I followed, but before I could enter the house, I felt a hold on my hand. Ryder cleared his throat, drawing my attention. “Ophelia.” I looked up, hesi

    Ophelia's Pov Nichole hit my hand as we started setting up the barbecue. “I saw you two talking.”I rolled my eyes. “And?”She smirked. “And… you looked flustered.”I scoffed, focusing on arranging the plates. “It was nothing. You obviously saw wrongly”Nichole gave me a knowing look. “Nothing doesn’t make your hands shake like that.”I glanced down, realizing she was right. My fingers trembled slightly as I stacked the plates. Damn it.Before I could reply, Daniel walked up to us. “What are you ladies talking about?” He asked as he kissed Nichole on her lips and she flushed.“Show off,” I scoffed, arranging the plates on the table. “Your husband is here so you could get some,” Daniel said.“Funny right?” I mocked as I faced him. “It is ex-husband by the way,” I corrected him.“It doesn't seem that way with the way he has been staring at you,” he looked at something behind him and turned, following his gaze.Ryder was standing with Ryder as they chatted but his eyes were fixed on me

    Ophelia “I brought out the leftover spaghetti I made in the morning and took my phone. 15 missed calls from my sister. Instead of returning the call, I walked to the kitchen and grabbed out the leftover spaghetti. I must have put my phone on silent during work. The day has been a blur with me rushing out the door in the morning, getting caught in the rain and accepting a ride from a colleague. But now back in my apartment, the missed calls lingered in my mind.After a deep breath, I finally called her back and she picked on the first ring.“Olivia, you called me 15 times” I took out a fork, “I said I'm not coming home to the anniversary”“Ophelia it's me, Ryder” The fork with spaghetti hung in the air. The voice brought back some memories and I gulped hard. “Why are you with Olivia's phone?” I asked him. He was the very last person I wanted to talk with.“Olivia is dead and-” The phone fell from my hand and I quickly took it but it was off.My hands were shaking as I tried turning

    Ophelia A year laterI looked at the empty room and sighed. Getting married to my sister's husband wasn't my idea rather was it a good decision. I went to the bathroom to change from my wedding dress and wore my pajamas. I sat down in front of the dresser removing all the pins in my hair and washing off my makeup.My mind wandered off to a month before my wedding.******I was called by my mum to come to New York immediately and I took an early leave from work.On getting there, there was a meeting between Ryder's family and my family. I was surprised I was called for the meeting because of my last encounter with Ryder.“I don't know why you all are here,” Ryder said with exhaustion showing on his face and I felt pity for him.“You are killing yourself dear, you need help,” Ryder’s mother, Sandra, said beside him.“I can handle everything, Mum, Things have just been hard recently” Ryder explained. “You can take a break off work, son, have time for your son and yourself,” Ryder's fa

    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.

    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
