Ophelia's Pov

We burst inside to find Olivia collapsed on the floor, her body limp with blood gushing from her wrist to the floor.

Jacob was kneeling beside her, his face tight with worry, while Ryder placed her on his lap, applying pressure on her cut

“She is bleeding. Tell the driver to bring the car to the front,” Jacob said, looking up at Sandra and she rushed out to do what.

He turned to me “She had called Ryder on the phone, telling him to come and the next moment she was on the floor, bleeding”

Sandra quickly ran back inside.

“The car is ready. We need to get her to the hospital now.”

Ryder snapped into action, “I will carry her,” he said, standing up. He placed her on the floor before he crouched, easily lifting her in his arms.

I stood frozen as I watched the whole scene. Everyone's expression was darkened with worry. A lump formed in my throat, but I pushed it aside.

“I will drive,” Jacob said, already heading toward the door.

Ryder nodded, carrying Olivia out, and w

    Ophelia's Pov My breath hitched as realization struck me like a bolt of lightning. “Ryan.” I breathe out.He was still at home, alone. I shot up from my seat, my hands shaking. “Ryan… I left him at home!” Sandra’s eyes widened in confusion. “What?” Ryder’s head snapped up. “What do you mean you left him at home?” His voice was sharp, laced with disbelief. I swallowed hard, guilt washing over me. “I— I put him to bed before you came in with Olivia and everything happened. I forgot about him when Olivia—” Ryder was already on his feet before I could finish, pulling out his phone. He dialed a number and pressed it to his ear. “Pick up. Pick up.” he chanted impatiently.I didn't know who he was calling but the call went straight to voicemail. His jaw clenched, and without another word, he strode toward the exit. “I am going to get him,” he said, his voice tight with urgency. “I am coming with you,” I said immediately, but he shot me a glare. “No. Stay here.” “But—

    Ryder's Pov The house was too quiet. Too still. I stood in the middle of Ryan’s bedroom, my fists clenched at my sides as my pulse thundered in my ears. The bed was empty. The blankets were still slightly rumpled from where he had been sleeping earlier. But he wasn’t here. Dad stepped out of the closet, shaking his head. “He isn't in there.” I exhaled sharply, pushing down the rising frustration. “ Let's check the security footage.” Jacob nodded and strode out of the room. I turned in a slow circle, scanning every inch of the space again as if I had somehow missed something the first time. How could I also forget about him? He was also my son after all.The door had been unlocked. Someone had been in this house. Or worse— Ryan had been taken. But how? The guards won't allow anyone in or out without my permission.The thought sent a sharp, burning rage through my veins. I stormed out of the room, moving through the hallway, checking every door, every corner, every

    Ophelia's Pov I had to be placed in a VIP room so my health could be monitored. Based on the Smiths influence, I was given a room without having any medical problems.The hospital room was too bright, too sterile. I hated it. It made my skin crawl. But none of it mattered to me except the crushing weight pressing down on my chest. Ryan was gone. My baby was gone. I clutched the blanket tightly around me, my fingers digging into the fabric as if it could hold me together. My head pounded from exhaustion and from crying.Sandra had left me to get me something to eat but I was not having the appetite. I had thrown up the little breakfast I had in the morning. I just wanted my baby. I want to see him. Where was he? Is he safe? Is he scared? Is he calling for me? Has he eaten? A sob threatened to escape, but I swallowed it down, forcing myself to stay strong. I have been crying since Ryder told me he was nowhere to be found. But I wanted to be strong for myself, for Ryan.I

    Ophelia's Pov Ryder had left me to look for Ryder and I was alone in the hospital room with my thoughts. Ryder made sure there were guards surrounding the hospital and my hospital room door.I didn't want to go back to that house. It would only remind me of the situation and I don't think I can survive the night there.Sandra had insisted on staying with me but I declined, wanting to be alone with my thoughts.She was reluctant to leave me alone, but I assured her I was going to be fine, especially when I could call the nurses and doctors if everything was to happen.I was staring at the wall where the reflection of light from the window cast a shadow and was lost in my thoughts.“I am sorry but you can't see her now. You can come back tomorrow,”“What do you mean by I can't see my daughter? I want to check up on her,” the voices outside my room pulled my attention.“That is the instructions from Mr. Smith. If you want to see her, you have to call him and get an order from him,” I h

    Ophelia's Pov “I don't know what to say. I thought you disliked me, especially when I had to leave New York for London, and you didn't even try to stop me,” I said after a while of not responding to her. I didn't know what to say to her after all she said. She had always had my interest at heart but I never got to see it. When I was leaving for London and she didn't try to stop me, I assumed she wanted me gone from her life.“You are just like your father, stubborn as a bull,” She chuckled and I smiled. That was true. Dad was stubborn and adamant.“I knew stopping you wasn't an option. You had made up your mind. The night you were packing your bags, I stood by your door, hoping to talk to you but I backed out at the last minute.I was scared of having a heated argument with you and never seeing you again so I let you go. I knew you would be happy there but I couldn't stop my mother's instinct of worrying about you like a mother hen.I love you, Ophelia. As much as your sister. I kno

    Ophelia's Pov The morning light filtered through the hospital room’s blinds, painting soft golden lines on the walls. My body felt heavy, but my mind snapped awake in an instant. Ryan. I sat up abruptly, my eyes darting around the room. Ryder was seated beside me, his elbows resting beneath his head which was the bed beside me. He looked so exhausted. His shirt was wrinkled, and faint stubble shadowed his jaw. I dipped my hand inside his hair and massaged his scalp. I felt his head move beneath my hand before his eyes opened but he didn't move.He stayed like that for some while before taking my hand in his and kissing it as he raised his head from the bed.“How was your night's rest?” He asked. “It is the worst. I feel weak and this hospital bed is the worst,” I complained.“Did you sleep at all?” I asked him as I noticed his dark eyes.“I couldn't sleep,” she said and his smile dropped.“You didn't find any trace of him?” I asked.“The person avoided the CCTV cameras well.

    Olivia's Pov.I was watching a movie which was playing on the television in the room when I heard a knock on the door and the door pushed open.My eyes moved to the person and met Ophelia's eyes. With her protruding stomach, she entered the room, her eyes scanning around the room before she walked up to me on my bed.“Are you feeling fine?” She asked, her eyes trained on me now.“Yes,” I replied to her and she nodded her head. “You scared us. Why would you try to harm yourself?” She asked.I returned my gaze to the movie I was watching.“I was trying to restore my memory back with the only way I knew. I needed to know who I was,” I said.“This is who you are, Olivia. You don't have to hurt yourself to find out about your past,”“Why? Afraid I am going to remember and tell Ryder about the awful things you did,” I taunted with a smirk on my face before moving my eyes back to her.She kept her gaze on me, staring at me intensely before realization crossed her eyes.“You remember.

    Ophelia's Pov When I left Olivia's hospital room, something about Olivia’s reaction didn’t sit right with me. She had looked genuinely shocked and startled when I mentioned Ryan was missing.But the revelation of her remembering her memory and continuing lying to us was something that added to my suspicions.I didn't know if I should trust her now or still keep my suspicions up. I was not far from her room, about to go back to my hospital room when I heard her hospital room door close. I looked towards her door and saw her slipping out. She was no longer in a hospital gown but dressed in the casual clothes she was rushed into the hospital with, just that it was now clean My stomach clenched. Where was she going? I stepped back, hiding in a corner as she looked around to check if anyone saw her. Why was she acting too suspicious? Like she was scared of people finding out she hadleft her bed?Did she know something about Ryan? Maybe his whereabouts? Without wasting another second,

    Ophelia's Pov A heavy silence fell over the room. The implications of what we had just uncovered were unsettling. Could Olivia have orchestrated Ryan’s kidnapping? Why would she do that if she did?I glanced at Ryder, his jaw tight, his hands clenched into fists. His expression was unreadable, but I could sense the storm brewing beneath the surface. Gina sat stiffly on the couch, her fingers twisting together. “I— I don’t want to believe it,” she whispered. “But if she could do this to Ryan, what else is she capable of doing?” Ryder exhaled sharply, running a hand down his face. “If Olivia did this… If she put our son in danger…” His voice trailed off, but the quiet fury in his tone was unmistakable. “She faked her death and framed me, what else can she not do?” I asked aloud, trying the grasp the realization we just made.A cold shiver ran down my spine. Olivia had always been manipulative, but would she really go that far? To harm an innocent child? Her biological child?

    Ryder's Pov As I drove back home, the ride home was quiet, but not in an uncomfortable way. It was a silence thick with unspoken emotions, a silence filled with thoughts and neither of us knew how to voice out yet.Ryan had fallen asleep in the backseat, his small head resting against the car seat, his little chest rising and falling in steady breaths. I glanced at him through the rearview mirror before shifting my gaze to Ophelia who was sitting in the passenger seat. She was staring out of the window, her fingers gently tracing her belly, lost in thought. The breeze from the window fanned against her face making her hair cover her face.I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter. I had seen my child today. I had heard the heartbeat. The heartwarming and rhythmic heartbeat.It was not just a concept or just an obligation, it was an actual tiny human, with a heartbeat strong and steady, with little hands that had moved.It was the life growing inside of Ophelia. I swallowed

    Ophelia's Pov The air in Joe’s office was thick with tension as the two of them had a stare-down. Ryder’s grip on Joe’s hand was firm, too firm and while Joe maintained a professional posture, I could see the way his jaw tightened ever so slightly.I shifted uncomfortably, moving Ryan in my lap to adjust him as I glanced between them. "Joe was a great help to me when I had no one else," I said quietly, attempting to ease whatever silent conflict was occurring between the both of them. Ryder was the first to release Joe's hand but didn't lean back to his seat. His expression was still stoic, his eyes fixed on the doctor as though looking for something.Joe, though, just nodded and leaned back in his chair. "I can understand why you would this way, Mr. Smith. But Ophelia was in a difficult spot at the time. I simply did what I thought was best to keep her and the baby safe."Ryder's jaw tightened, but he said nothing, his eyes still trained on Joe.I coughed to clear my throat becaus

    Ophelia's Pov I snuggled closer to Ryder but found the bed empty. I sat up from the bed rubbing my eyes. The last I could remember was in Ryder's arms in the bathtub. I must have fallen asleep and he carried me to the bed. I looked down to my body and I was wearing his shirt and boxers.I flung my feet to the floor and stood up from the bed. I went into the bathroom and did my business. I went inside the closet and chose the cloth to wear. Standing in front the mirror, I stared at my reflection.I looked better than the nights before and my bump was bigger. I put a reminder in mind to visit the hospital. I would be due in few weeks times and I needed to be careful. I dressed and left the room, closing the door behind me. Before getting to the living room, I could smell something coming from the kitchen. The smell was faint at first but it grew stronger as I moved closer to the living room. It was until I reached the living room and looked into the kitchen, discovering it was br

    Ophelia's Pov The silence of the moment enveloped us, and for the first time in days, I could finally breathe. Ryder's presence was an anchor, it was grounding me in the center of the hurricane I could feel brewing inside. I leaned back against him, allowing the warmth of the water and the strong beat of his heart to fill the empty spaces in my head. The weight of my worry didn't lift from me, but for a moment, it was easier to carry."I don't know what to do, Ryder," I panted, the words tumbling out before I could catch them. "I keep thinking about Olivia most of the time, I keep thinking about all of it. I don't even know her anymore."Ryder's arms wrapped me close, pulling me more against him, giving me the unspoken reassurance of his presence. I attempted to steady my breath, keeping my eyes shut, but uncertainty within me was cruel. Olivia was changing before my own eyes, and I was uncertain how to relate to her anymore.The woman who spoke to me wasn't the Olivia I grew up w

    Ophelia's Pov Getting home, Ryder went straight to his study while I headed to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water. I poured the water into a glass cup and brought the cup closer to my mouth. What was that about? Olivia was into drugs?I drank the water inside the cup at a gulp and set the cup down in the sink. She didn't look like someone who does drugs, so how? How did she end up that way?I shook my head, trying to shake off the thought.I dropped the cup and headed to Ryan's room. The door was slightly ajar, so I pushed it open and saw Ryan beside Mum as they were both sleeping.They both looked peaceful. Mum's hands were over him in a protective manner while he snuggled closer to her. I walked closer to the bed and bent a little, brushing my hand over Ryan's hair. He turned and snuggled more into Mum. They both look cute and so much alike. The aging line in Mum's eyes was so where to be seen. I stood there just staring at the both of them

    Ophelia's Pov The interrogation room seemed to be closing in on me, weighted down by unspoken questions, thick with the seriousness of Olivia's confession. They had barely been spoken when she had first said them, but now that I let them settle in my mind, they tumbled at me like a starving beast. "Running from myself," she had said.I did not get it. Who was she really running away from? Hadn't she always been the confident and perfect daughter? Hadn't she always been the one to get everything she wanted? But here, in front of us, I saw something else. I saw the vulnerability, the seething self-loathing that burned in her eyes.I wanted to know. I needed to know. But the more I thought about what she had said, the more obvious it was that I didn't know her at all. "Olivia," I began gently, trying to hold back the tremble from my voice."What did you mean? What is going on here?"She didn't answer at first, hands clenched in her lap, knuckles white with the pressure of her hold.

    Ophelia's Pov The quiet in the house was unbearable. Dust hung motionless in the stale air, soaking up the weak light sneaking through broken windows.Olivia leaned back against the freezing wall, pressing her hand onto her belly as if shielding life inside. Not a word passed her lips. She just looked at us— suspiciously, cautiously.Ryder took a step closer, his voice sharp and adamant. "Tell me, Olivia. Who is the father of your baby?"She breathed in slowly, her gaze skittering back and forth between him and me before focusing on the detective behind us. "Can we speak in private and not in front of anyone else?"Ryder's jaw worked. "Not going to happen."The detective turned to us, then Olivia. "Miss Hamilton, if you do have information that can help us, you need to share it now. We are investigating a series of crimes, including the case of your disappearance and Paul's participation in a kidnapping act. If you are in harm's way, we need to know from whom."Olivia laughed— bitter

    Ophelia's Pov The sun burst through the curtains and illuminated the bedroom with a warm golden hue. I hadn't slept at all. Regardless of how many times I attempted to shut my eyes, Ryan's screams haunted me, screaming repeatedly in my head. His tiny hands had clasped me all night, and even now, as I inched cautiously to check on him, his tiny fingers gripped tightly in fear that he would lose me.I smoothed out his curls, planting a soft kiss on his forehead. "I am here, baby."He stirred slightly but didn't wake.Ryder was up already, in the armchair by the window, sitting there with an unreadable face."You didn't sleep either?" I whispered to him.He breathed deeply and ran his hand through his hair. "I didn't. I had to make sure you two were okay."I nodded. We were both running on fumes of anxiety and fatigue.And today, I was not moving. I was home with Ryan, keeping him safe.*****The morning passed quietly, and I thanked God. I made Ryan's favorite breakfast of chocolate
