Married to my sister's husband Chapter 71
Ophelia's pov The cab ride felt endless, even though the city center was only a few miles away. I kept my gaze fixed on the window, watching the world blur past and fast. My chest aches while I manage to keep my tears in by biting my trembling lips, my hands shaking as I clutched my bag tighter.I didn’t know where to go or what to do next. All I knew was I just had to leave. But where? Where was I running to?London flashed in my mind for a moment. Was it back to my life in London? I can't go back there. London reminds me of my old life. The life I have forgotten. The life I didn't want to return to.Staying back also meant facing Ryder, his anger, and the storm of emotions I had unleashed. I deceived him, I broke his family apart, and even worse, I played the victim card on everyone.I can't stand looking into Olivia's eyes. I can't stand her accusing stares. I have caused her more sorrow. I always had, even as a kid. There was no reason for me to stay.I pressed a hand against my

Ophelia’s povAs I ate, my mind wandered back to Ryder. I imagined him at home, pacing in his study, a glass of whiskey in his hand. Would he be furious? Devastated? Or would he feel relieved to know the truth, no matter how painful? Would he be glad to be able to find an escape from our marriage? After all, he never wanted me in the first place, and his first love was back in his life and house.And Olivia, what would she say if she found out I was the cause of her accident then? What would she say if she found out I stood there watching her car burn with her in it and didn’t offer help to her?What would she say or do if she found out she had run away? Would she gloat, reveling in my weakness? Or would she be happy, content that I had removed myself from their lives? I pushed the thoughts away and focused on the soup I was drinking, letting its warmth spread through me. For the first time in hours, I felt a small measure of calm. But it was fleeting, a thin veneer over the chaos

Ryder's pov The silence in the house was deafening. Ryan was playing by himself in the living room while Olivia was with him, watching over him.She doesn't know of anything that happened between me and Ophelia.I sat in my study, the amber liquid in my glass barely touched as it reflected the dim light of the room. Papers were scattered across my desk, including her papers, which stood out. Divorce papers. I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as her words echoed in my mind. “Those are divorce papers from the court. I am relieving you of this marriage. Sign the divorce papers, Ryder, and live your life. Goodbye.”It wasn’t just the divorce that was upsetting me. It was the way she left, quiet, decisive, like a ghost disappearing into the night. She didn't give me an explanation; she just left. Like she didn't owe me a fucking explanation. Was I just meant to accept the divorce and sign the papers?A sharp knock on the door broke through my thoughts. "Come in," I said

Ryder's pov The cold air hit my face as I stepped outside, but I barely noticed it. My head was filled with the thought of Ophelia.My mind was a whirlwind of questions, anger, and frustration. The image of Ophelia’s signature on those divorce papers kept flashing before my eyes, a reminder of what she was trying to do. How can she jump to a conclusion like that, especially immediately after telling me she was the cause of Olivia's accident? I was still doing my investigation on it but it was like that day never happened. My investigator has been checking for months but he hasn't gotten any hint.Maybe I should contact someone else. I was told of one of the best private investigators in Los Angeles. I would contact him now that I needed to find the truth the most but I have to hear from Ophelia first.I slid into my car and gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove off. I had people watching her, but it wasn’t enough. I needed to see her for myself. I needed answers, and I was

Ophelia's pov The moment Ryder asked, “Pretense? How?” I felt my composure cracking. He looked genuinely confused, and it made my chest tighten. How could he not see that I was holding myself from breaking down? How could he not realize that I was so close to crying? I took a deep breath, steadying myself. “This marriage, Ryder, was never real to begin with. It was a facade, something we both agreed to for convenience. I was a mere instrument in your and Mum's business transactions.I didn't put up a fight because I knew you needed a mother for Ryan, someone to step into Olivia’s place. I had no choice but to oblige.” “But things changed, right?” he asked in hope, but I shook my head.“I was just Olivia's replacement nothing more and you know it” Ryder’s brows furrowed, his jaw tightening. “That is not true. We have been through so much together. You mean to tell me none of it mattered to you?” His voice wavered slightly, and it caught me off guard. I looked away, staring at

Ophelia pov Tears welled in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. “I am doing this for you,” I said, my voice breaking. “You deserve someone better, someone who doesn’t carry the guilt I do.” “Don’t you dare,” he snapped, his voice low and dangerous. “Don’t you dare try to make this about me? This is about you, Ophelia. This is about you running away because you are too scared to face what is between us.” I can't let his talk get to me. He was trying to cajole me into staying but I can't.In as much as he thinks I am being selfish, I couldn't stay. Not when I was carrying my baby.I stood abruptly, my chair scraping against the floor. “This conversation is over. I have made my decision, Ryder, and there is nothing left to say.” But as I turned to leave, his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist. His grip was firm but not painful, and I froze, unable to move. “Look me in the eye,” he demanded, his voice softer now but no less intense. “Look at me and tell me you don’t love me.

Ryder's pov I watched her leave the café, her figure disappearing out the door and out of my sight. The door shut behind her, and for a moment, I just sat there, staring at the empty seat across from me. The cold coffee on the table reflected the chill in my chest. I had told her I didn’t love her, that I never promised her anything. But as the words left my mouth, I saw her eyes flash with hurt and that caused a pang of hurt in my heart I had never been one for sentiment, not after Olivia. But Ophelia? She crept under my defense without me even realizing it. I ran my hands through my hair, leaning back in my chair as I continued staring at the chair she just stood up from. “Damn it,” I muttered under my breath. The sound of the rain pouring outside reached my ears and my mind went to Ophelia immediately. She didn't have an umbrella with her. Would she be all right in this weather? I wanted to go after her and make sure she got to the hotel safely.But her words echoed in my m

Ryder povWith the new realization I made, I walked into the house and the first person I saw was Olivia.She was sitting on the couch In front of the television and on seeing me, she jumped to her feet.Worry was etched on her face as she rushed to me to see me coming in.“Are you alright? I have been calling your phone since you left the house but you have not been answering.”I looked at her closely, trying to remember why I always called her my first love when it was Ophelia all along. Why I fell in love with her but I couldn't seem to place my hands on it.My eyes stayed on her face, trying to see what I couldn't see years back, and something caught my attention. Something I have never noticed.While her eyes were green which was different from Ophelia's brown own, Olivia's eyes held something in them. It was like it held secrets and untold stories.It wasn't transparent and raw like Ophelia's own.“I left my phone in my office. Sorry,” I said quietly, tired of everything. I just

Ophelia's Pov The comforting sound of oil sizzling in the pan filled the kitchen as I moved around, stirring, seasoning, and tasting. I had missed this, the routine, the sense of food. The aroma of freshly made food filled the air, and just as I placed the last dish on the counter, I heard small footsteps approaching. “Mommy?” I turned, and there stood Ryan, rubbing his sleepy eyes, his tiny fists balled at his sides. I smiled warmly. “Good morning, baby.” He toddled over and wrapped his arms around my legs. I leaned down and kissed his forehead, brushing his messy curls out of his face. “You are up early. You shouldn't move too much; you are still recovering,” I said. His pout deepened. “I am Hungry.” I chuckled, lifting him onto a nearby stool. “Guess what? Mommy made breakfast today.” His sleepy eyes lit up. “Pancakes?” I laughed. “Not today, my champ. But I made something just as goo.” I grabbed a small plate and placed some food in front of him.

Ophelia's Pov I held my laugh as I glanced at Ryder who was laying on his floor but his legs and arm were coming out of the couch.I felt guilty of chasing him out of the bed but I had my reasons.I didn't want him to think I had entirely forgiven him and I was conscious of my body. I had gotten fatter and fuller.I removed the duvet and covered him with it before arranging the bed and going inside the closet to choose clothes to wear.There was nothing really to wear in my closet since they weren't maternity dresses. I pulled my box which I brought and opened it I haven't offloaded my bag since I came. The bags were taken to the house and when I needed clothes in the hospital, Ryder bought them for me.Removing a blue floral maternity dress from the bag, I left the closet and spread it on the bed with my undies.Ryder turned in his sleep, making the duvet fall off his body. Wanting to cook for the family after a long time and not wanting him to wake up meeting me in the room, I qu

Ryder's Pov Ophelia spent time with Ryan before putting him to sleep. I waited for her to lay Ryan to bed before we both headed to our room.When we stepped into the room, Ophelia headed straight for the bed, her hand resting on her stomach as she exhaled heavily. I shut the door behind me and watched her, waiting for her to say something to ease the tension within me. She didn't. "You okay?" I finally asked. She turned to face me, exhaustion evident in her eyes. "I am tired. My leg hurts,” I looked at her feet and saw it was slightly swollen.Kneeling on the floor, I took her leg and placed it on my thigh.“What are you doing?” She asked, taking her leg from my thigh. I put her leg back on my thigh. “I will give you a leg massage,” I said, applying pressure while rubbing and pressing her leg.“Thank you,” She said before closing her eyes and moaning.I smiled and continued to message her leg, seeing it was relieving her of the pain.After some while, she yawned.“Feeling s

Ophelia's Pov After dinner, I went to Olivia's door and knocked. She opened the door and walked back to the bed. I entered the room and shut the door behind me.“Can I sit?” I asked, standing in front of her.“You should. You are pregnant,” she looked at my stomach before dropping her gaze back down.I sat on the bed but my mind was in chaos. What should I start the conversation with?Should I start with, It has been a long time since we spoke or I am sorry?“You wanted to talk,” she said after some seconds.“I didn't see you at the hospital,” “I was giving you space and I didn't want to be the third wheel,” “Third wheel?” I asked, confused. “You were never a third wheel” “Is that what you came here for?” She asked, impatient.“I wanted to apologize for everything I cost you. I am so sorry. I don't know how and why I did it. It is still a memory to me…” I trailed off not knowing what to say.“You tried to kill me, Ophelia. Your sister. What if you had succeeded in killing me? I t

Ophelia's Pov Ryan was discharged after three days in the hospital. I haven't left the hospital in those three days. Ryder and Joe persuaded me to go to the house, rest, freshen, and ear, but I declined. I didn't want to leave Ryan's side.When they saw I wasn't going to leave, they stopped talking about me. Ryder made sure to bring new clothes and food for me every day, while Joe made sure to check up on me and my baby every day to make sure we were both doing well. He also spares his lunch break to keep me company.I haven't really seen Olivia since the day we met but I have heard her voice outside the room. There was a gap between us that was too large to cross for any of the two of us to cross, and I got it. What I did was unforgivable but I hope to get her forgiveness. The car pulled In front of the house, and I remained in my chair, staring at the house from the glass.Ryder came to the passenger's seat and carried Ryan in his arms. “Ophelia, are you not coming?” He asked

Ophelia's Pov I detached myself from Ryder's side and bent to Ryan's level.“Don't mind him. Will you eat now?” I asked, diverting his attention and he stopped.I helped him with his food, feeding him. Unlike his usual chattering and playing, he was very obedient and cooperative. My little boy had grown. I wish he could be like this forever.The nurses came to give him his medicine and check him up so Ryder and I moved out of the room.Olivia and Mum had gone home already, so it was just Ryder and me outside the door.“I am not your wife anymore,” I said after sitting down on the chair outside. “Don't lie to Ryan again,”I could feel his eyes on me. “I was not lying to him,” I scoffed, “You told him I was yours when, in fact, I am not. He should start knowing the truth,”“Even about his biological mother?” He asked and I turned to him.“I am still his mother. This doesn't change anything even as you have gotten back with Olivia. I love him as my own and I always will.” “We are not

Ophelia's Pov With my eyes closed, I tapped repeatedly on the bed, my other hand not leaving Ryan's hand.It looked like I was sleeping or at peace but I wasn't. My mind was racing with different thoughts.Ryder's confession still echoed in my head like a song played over and over again. I wanted to believe him, but doubt crept inside my heart like a shadow, whispering uncertainties. Was it real? Or was it just the heat of the moment, the emotions of him happy that he was doing to be a father? Was it just mere words to keep me from running again?He said he never loved me or felt anything towards me four months ago. Then what changed now? Why was he confessing love to me?I opened my eyes and turned my head slightly to look at Ryan. His tiny hand rested in mine, his face relaxed in deep sleep. He was my anchor, the only constant in all of this. I felt so guilty for leaving him behind like that, but I wasn't going to anymore. I had to be strong for him, no matter how much my heart w

Olivia's PovI clenched my fists so tight by my side that my nails bit into my palms. The sight before me, the way Ryder looked at Ophelia, his closeness with her and the way he confessed his feelings to her made my blood boil. I turned away from the door, my breath uneven. My plan had failed. Again. Everything I had done, every calculated move, every carefully placed doubt, it had all been for nothing. Ophelia still had him. She still had a way to get to him.Even after all these months, after my return, after everything I had orchestrated, Even when she left she had a hold on him and Ryan. That little brat didn't make it easy for me either. He was either throwing a tantrum, crying for Ophelia, or being too quiet.He was meant to bring me closer to Ryder, but instead, he was just useless, making me care for him all day.For a little boy, he was able to tell me and Ophelia apart.My body shook with anger, but I forced myself to breathe. I can’t lose my composure now. Losing cont

Ophelia's Pov Olivia walked up to Ryan to check up on me but Ryan's eyes still looked in my direction.When she saw that Ryan's eyes hadn't left mine, she turned and looked at me. I walked up to Ryan's bedside where Ryder and Olivia were standing.“Hey, baby. What do you need?” I asked bending to his lips to hear him.“Water,” he said and I nodded.“I will bring some for you now,” I straightened and went to the table in the room. I poured water from the jug into the cup and went back to him.I helped him drink the water before laying him back on the bed. He closed his eyes and I guess he went back to sleep.The room was suffocatingly silent, the weight of unspoken words pressing down on us like a thick fog. Beside me, Olivia's eyes bore into me, sharp with her expression unreadable. But for a moment I saw it— the flicker of something dark beneath her composed facade.Jealousy? Rage? Betrayal?Her gaze drifted to my belly once more, and I instinctively placed a protective hand over i
