Ryder's Pov

The airport came into view, and I slammed my foot on the brake as I skidded into the parking lot. Barely having time, I turned off the engine before jumping out of the car.

I didn’t know what I would say to her if I saw her.

I entered the terminal which was buzzing, scanning the crowd for any sign of her with my guard following behind me. Another of my guards joined us there.

“I was keeping my eyes on her but she got lost in the crowd,” the new guard who joined us said.

Why can't they do a simple task right?

“She is just a fucking woman; how could you lose her?” I was losing my cool while staring at the guard.

“She was sitting right here waiting before people started moving and I lost her in the crowd. I am sorry sir,” he apologized, bowing his head. My phone buzzed in my pocket, but I ignored it.

I went to the nearest information desk. “Excuse me,” I barked at the woman who was sitting down there. “I am looking for someone who might have checked in recently. Ophelia

    Ophelia's pov Shortly after the security men reached my row, they caught the man with a bag of hidden drugs. It turned out he was referring to the man sitting next to me. His bag was searched and it was filled with clothes dipped in drugs. His flight was canceled, and he was led out of the plane.I breathed in relief when the pilot announced we were about to fly. I closed my eyes as the plane ran through the railway and was to taxi.I felt the plane lift from the ground, and I shut my eyes tightly, clenching firmly to my seat and biting hard on my lips.When the plane was finally in the air I unlocked my seat belt and breathed in relief. After some time, a waitress came to me asking what I wanted and I told her before relaxing back on my seat.I am starting a new life now. A life where no one knew me. Not as Ophelia Hamilton, the daughter of Alice Hamilton, or Ophelia Smith, the wife of Ryder and the mother of Ryan, but as Eva Hunter.I decided to use my other name, Eva, one of my n

    Ryder's pov Entering the house, I pulled on my tie, releasing it from my neck and unbuttoning the first button on my shirt.“Welcome dear, Gina said, coming out of the kitchen with an apron. “You must be hungry. Should I set the table?”“Yes Gina, thank you,” I stopped on my way to my room and turned back to Gina.“Gina,” I called, and she turned back to look at me behind the counter.“Has Ryan and Olivia eaten?” I asked.“Ryan has had his dinner but Olivia is still waiting for you so you could have dinner together,” I nodded slowly, tired from the day's work.“I will call her for dinner after I freshen up first,” I told Gina.“Ryder,” she called softly before I could move. “You work yourself too hard, can you try to create time for your family? Ryan misses you,” her eyes gazed at me with care and hope.Since Ophelia left, I have buried myself in work, having no time to think about her. I leave early in the morning and return at night.And that is because I was now in control of Alic

    Ryder's pov I sat there, frozen, staring at the blank screen of my phone before looking at my laptop. My pulse raced as my mind tried to process what I had just heard. Ophelia had nothing to do with Olivia’s accident. Evidence was fabricated. The words echoed in my head, growing louder and louder until they were all I could hear. I opened the email with trembling fingers, my eyes scanning the attached documents and photos.It showed Ophelia happened to be on her way to the airport that very day but she made a turn before she got to that spot.Then how did she happen to be on the footage? If it was just pictures, It wouldn't have made it look so real, but videos?The footage from the accident site and the testimonies, it was all doctored, to frame Ophelia. My chest tightened, a mixture of guilt and rage swirling inside me. How could I have been so blind? How could I let her go? I had pushed her away. I had let her walk out of my life, thinking she carried a burden of guilt.

    Ophelia's pov Entering inside the Café shop, I greeted my colleagues and went to the back to change into work clothes. Even though it is quite tight for me because of my baby bump, I pull it over my head. I packed my hair in a bum on my head and went to the counter.“You know you can stop wearing it since it is too small for you,” Kelly, my co-worker, said while eyeing my bump.“It is fine. It is just for a few hours,” I replied to her with a smile but the truth was, I didn't want to be treated special.Mandy was skeptical about hiring me because of my pregnancy. She believes I can't do well in the job but Nichole convinced her to give me a try.I started with serving customers orders and clearing up after customers left, but with time, my legs started to ache, my back started to ache, and I would get tired easily. Then Mandy moved me to behind the counter, where I worked with Kelly.Kelly made sure to reduce my work but I didn't like it. She would tell me to take breaks to rest an

    Ophelia's pov I followed his eyes and found them on the little boy in the car. When the little boy found me staring at him, he looked down, avoiding my eyes.“Thank you but we are fine,” I said politely, avoiding his offer.“I think the little boy needs to rest after a stressful day at school. I could just drop you off at your place and continue your journey from there.“Well, it looks like your son doesn't like the idea,” I said, and he turned to his son.“Antony, wouldn't you like us to carry this beautiful aunty and her boy?” I watch him interact with his son.The boy nodes to what is asked.“Is everything okay,” I bent a little to Aaron, asking him.“He doesn't like me,” he muttered to my ear and I stood up straight.“Your son doesn't want him in the car, so I will pass. Thank you,” my leg was beginning to hurt, and I just wanted to sit down.I walked further with Aaron but the car kept following me. “I am not going to bite you, you know. I just want to help you,”“And I said th

    Ryder's place “What do you mean by she is nowhere to be found?” I asked over the phone as I paced around my office.“There is nothing about Ophelia since the last 4 months so my guess is she changed her name,” Desmond replied.I sat down on my bed, pulling my hair in frustration and regret. “She made a trip to the hospital before she left for the airport so the best thing for you to do is to go to the hospital to know why,”Hospital? Why would she need to go to the hospital?“Are you not coming with me?” “My job is to look for your wife, not your bodyguard,” his sharp reply came through.“You are the one who is searching for her, you need clues,” This side went silent for some moment before he agreed. “Just know you are paying double because I didn't sign for this fatty,” he said and the call ended.He still uses the name to call me. Desmond and I were friends in high school, almost like best friends, and he started calling him ‘fatty’ because of a girl who had a crush on me back

    Ryder's pov “Like what?” She asked, sniffing herself. “Am I smelling bad?” I shook my head, deciding not to ask her again. “It is nothing. You smell nice,” I said and the smile which swiped off her face returned.“There is something I need to show you,” I said, and her attention was quind.“Is something wrong?” She asked and I shook my head. “Please come with me to my study,” I said and started going to my office with her following closely behind me.I opened my study and went to my desk. She was looking around as if, trying to imprint it in her mind.“Strikes a memory?” I asked and she looked in my direction.“Not yet,” she said and walked to me.I opened the evidence and played it for her. I saw blood drain from her face.“Ryder—”“Yes, it is what you are seeing. Ophelia is innocent,” I said when she could not find her words anymore.“But how is it possible? I saw– we all saw it on the TV. It was her voice,” she asked, her eyes still on the video which was playing over and over,

The air smelled faintly of antiseptic.The nurse, a young woman, glanced up from her computer screen. "Good morning. How can I help you?" I wasted no time. "I–”Desmond interrupted me. “He is the husband of a patient here and we would like to see the doctor in charge” She nodded and asked, “What is her name sir?”“Ophelia Hamilton Smith,” I said and her fingers started pressing over the keyboard.“Doctor Joe is her doctor but he isn't on the seat now,” she said, crushing every hope I had in me.“Is there any way I can contact him?” I asked.She shook her head and continued what she was doing.“I can call someone to help us,” I brought out my phone to make a phone call when Desmond stopped me.“That isn't necessary. You don't have to use your power for everything,” he said and walked away and out of the hospital.Why does he think the worst about me? It has been years. He should ge

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
