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

Married to my sister's husband Chapter 176
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

Ophelia's Pov As the car drove from the station to the house, Olivia's confession didn't leave my head.How? How did it happen? I have always blamed her for everything but I was the villain in her story. She was hurt because of me.As I rested my back on the passenger's seat, my thoughts went back to 20 minutes before I left the station.******“Since when and how long do you have more?”“Since I was in university. I had a breakdown and was rushed to the hospital, tests were conducted and I knew about it. I don't know how long I have but I know it isn't soon.”“Why did you tell Mum or me?” I asked as a tear escaped my eyes and rolled down my cheeks.“It was bad enough I was the black sheep. I didn't want to make Mum worried. It was hard seeing her breakdown during Dad's death and how she struggled. If you don't notice, she still dies and that is why she buried her head in work.”“You should have told someone, we could have helped. Is there any treatment for it or any way you can man
Married to my sister's husband Chapter 173
Ophelia's Pov “Why?” I paused trying to brace myself together, “I didn't take dad from you. I never did,”“Really? You didn't?” She moved her chair and fixed her gaze on me. “Who was his perfect princess? Why read day and night to make sure Dad is proud of her? Who goes to meet Dad any chance she gets so he can spend time with her? Who was Dad's favorite?”“Olivia—” I started, but she interrupted me.“You made him distant from me. Then you came sick and all the attention was shifted from both of us to only you. Only Ophelia deserves to rest while I go to school activities. Only Ophelia deserves 24/7 monitoring. I began to fade and I became your shadow. It was all about you,” she screamed with tears flowing down her eyes.She is getting it all wrong, or is she right with what she said?I was suffocated and choked. I blamed my sickness for that and envied Olivia whenever she could go anywhere she liked or do anything she wanted.“I didn't know you felt that way,”“You wouldn't because

Ophelia's PovI sat in the interrogation room waiting for the officers to bring Olivia out.The sound of the door opening reached my ear, and I saw Olivia enter the room.My eyes met mine immediately, and I offered a little smile, which she returned forcefully.“Hi,” I said as she took her seat.“How are you doing?” I asked and she shook her head.“Shitty,” she replied and I nodded, looking down my fingers.“I know. It isn't the best place to be in,”“Are you finding means to get me out?” She asked.“Not yet—,”“Why?” She interrupted me with her voice harsh. I looked into her eyes, and for the first time, I saw something I had not noticed before.Anger.“Olivia, why?” I asked, maintaining eye contact with her. I watch her eyes transition from anger to confusion.“What?”“Why did you do all of these? Why did you hurt your family? Why did you hurt me?” She didn't reply to me; she only held my gaze for a few seconds.“Do what, Ophelia. You and Ryder should find out how to get me out of

Ophelia's Pov Three million dollars.The amount kept ringing in my head. The amount was huge. Why did she take a loan of that amount and what did she use it for?“Got it,” Dave said and gave me his phone.I read through her information, and every line I read got me more confused.I looked up from the phone back to Ryder. “How is this all true?”“There are pictures to prove it; scroll down,” Dave said, and I did as he said.There were a few pictures of her, from old to recent, but a picture caught my eye, and I zoomed in on the picture.The cloth. It looks familiar. I went to the search bar and typed my name. Many articles popped up, but I went to the videos and searched for the video of that day's accident. There was no video of the accident on the web. But I saw it while I was in Brazil.At that moment, Ryder came down and I turned to him immediately.“Ryder, the accident video is not on the web anymore,”“Yes, I took them all down,” he said, sitting down next to me. “Why?” he a

Ophelia's Pov As I watched the video, I felt a strangling knot in my stomach.Paul was on the call with someone as he placed about.“Did you do everything I asked you to?” He asked the person on the other side.“Listen to me. Go to my place and do exactly as I instruct you unless the boy dies,”“Talk to you later, Olivia. I have to feed the boy,”On hearing Olivia's name, the knot in my stomach tightened.I turned to Ryder.“She knew,” I said and he nodded.“That is the only evidence we got that the kidnapping is tied to Olivia,”Wow.“I need time to process this,” I stood up and walked to our room.I lay on the bed and closed my eyes, wishing that what I saw would disappear, but it only got clearer.I knew Olivia was tied to it one way or the other but confirming it now was hurting me more than I thought.After some time, I felt fatigue slowly kicked in and I slept off.******Waking up from the bed, I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face before leaving the room.I went

Ophelia's Pov Desmond and Ryder were checking all the CCTV cameras around the side where we found Ryan.They are looking for any connection with Olivia.I was with Ryan as he played with his toys. His little fingers moved busily as he stacked colorful blocks on top of each other. His soft giggles filled the room.I felt my phone vibrate beside me and I removed my eyes from Ryan to my phone.I saw 5 missed calls from Dave. When did he call that I didn't pick up? My brows furrowed. I looked at Ryan to make sure he was alright before calling him back.“Hi,” “Ophelia, are you alright?” He asked directly.“Yes, I am. How is Lily?” I asked.“She is fine. We are married,” the line went silent after that.The words settled in, a strange tightness forming in my chest.“Erm,” I cleared my throat. “That is good; I am happy for both of you,” I said, my voice coming out tighter than I intended.“Ophelia, I—”“It is okay.” I cut in, forcing a small smile even though he couldn’t see it. “You are
Married to my sister's husband Chapter 168
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?
