~Demetrius' POV~I halted to a stop as soon as I heard that annoying lady's voice.What happened?Why is she yelling like that?I signaled to one of the bodyguards that they should go check. When I saw that the person was not walking fast. I picked my heels and walked faster.Then I saw this horrible sight that had me enraged. I gritted my teeth and went towards them. I pulled the guy from her and started landing punches on him.Son of a b*tch. How dare he?!I continued to land punches on his face that blood was already oozing. I was losing control but why?One of the bodyguards came towards me and dragged him from me. He kept talking nonsense."Call the cops," I ordered with a hard face.I looked at Ophelia was still lying there with her hands placed over her face. "You can come out," I said.She slowly brought her hands off her face and then I saw that her shirt's button kind of slipped off and her cleavage was showing. I cleared my throat and looked away immediately.I am not a per
~Ophelia's POV~"So you mean, he did something like that?" Kelly asked me she packed her hair into a bun in front of the mirror."Yes, he hit me on the cheek you had hit also." I said with a small frown."Really? So sorry about that. It was just reflex. I am sorry." She said again. I nodded my head."Anyways, Demetrius got him arrested and also I don't think he would be leaving there anytime soon." I said with a shrug as I applied my face cleanser."Wow, you really got a good boss. He is caring." She said and that made me roll my eyes."He is caring?" I said with an amused scoff."Guess, you don't know who my boss is. He is cold and heartless billionaire in the whole of Texas. Who doesn't know his name?" I said.She smiled. "But from the way he protected you against Jeremy, I don't think that describes him."And I felt the truth in her words but I chose to ignore it, only know the pain I suffered from him."Well, let us just say that that *caring* attitude of his comes and goes in a j
~Ophelia's POV~"Good Morning, sir." I greeted him with forced bow."Good morning." His voice came out muffled. What's with him this morning again?"How was your night, Sir?" I asked as a caring secretary that I should be."Fine and yours?" He managed to ask but I could see that his mind was filled with other thoughts. He stood up and walked towards the transparent glass, he had his hands in his pocket as if he was thinking deeply about something."What is your relationship with that guy?" He asked after a while."Huh? Which guy?" I asked, not getting what he meant."The guy that tried to touch you." He replied.Oh, he is talking about Jeremy. Should I tell him?"He.. Is my ex-boyfriend." I replied with little hesitation. He then turned towards me and raised an eyebrow."If I knew that this was lover's fight. I would not have interfered. Sorry if I caused you any pain." He said and I looked at him with my eyebrows raised in skepticism and query. Wow, never knew he could even apologi
~Ophelia's POV~"Twenty five years old." I heard a masculine voice say.Huh? I furrowed my eyebrows and shrugged. I must be hearing things."I said I am twenty five years old." The voice said again then it dawned on me that my boss was the one who talked. I whirled around immediately, coming face to face with him.When did he get here?Wasn't he just swimming a while ago?I scoffed.How did he hear what I said. Ohh, I must have said it loud."You are really younger than I thought." I said before realizing I spoke that louder than I expected. He was busy picking his shirt when he tilted his head up and gazed at my outburst. But what caught my attention was the boyish look that he gave out. He looked young and handsome and not to talk of that quality I had said earlier on. He was... H-"Do you think drooling over your boss is good?" His voice cut through my brain. I quickly regained my posture and cleared my throat.I cannot be drooling over him. Guys are not on my list for now. At leas
THIRD PERSON'S POVDays passed and Demetrius and Ophelia's relationship was just as normal as every other boss and secretary relationship. But it did not last long. As usual Demetrius and Ophelia were in the office busy checking out and looking through his schedules for the day when Claire rang him through the telephone. He forced his gaze away from the file and picked the telephone. "Sir," she greeted. "Get straight to the point, Claire. I am quite busy here." he said. "Miss Emery is here to see you," was all she said before she disconnected the call and door got pushed open roughly. Demetrius looked up instantly while Ophelia just looked casually. Emery stood there with a glare at Demetrius. "Emery?!" Ophelia did not miss the spite in his voice. "Long time no see," She said with a smile that did not reach her face. "What are you doing here?" He asked as he stood up on his feet. "Let's just say I miss my best friend after that little fight we had," she said with a shrug. H
He slammed into her for the last time and she screamed out as the orgãsm hit her. He pulled out his dîck and removed the côndom that was on it before dumping it in the container close to him.She scrambled up from the desk of his office and pulled up her pãnties."Hope you are doing as planned?" He asked her and she looked at him as she licked her lips."Yes, she has not suspected a thing." She replied."Keep watching for me. I want every information about her." He said sternly and she nodded her head like a lost puppy."I have sent something into your account, check it. And yes, hmm... Do you know how she got the apartment you are living now?" He asked her. She shook her head negatively.He hissed out. "See the person I said should keep a close eye on her. Anyways, she is in a huge debt and I am very sure her salary will not be able to cover it. Make a big fuss about it when you get home and get her to collect the money from me. Which I will give you instead. Understood?" He asked."
~Ophelia's POV~"This place." I directed the driver to park. He parked and I muttered some words of appreciation and got out. I breathed out and walked into the building. Going through the staircase, I finally got to her place.I saw that the door was already unlocked. Well, I knew Kelly would have been home by the way. I knocked on the door as I awaited Kelly's voice. The door knob clicked open and Kelly opened the door. I looked at her and smiled warmly at her but she did not return it with her usual grin.Wow, that's new.My eyebrows furrowed slightly. I don't think I should press on it."So guess what?" I asked, hoping it would cheer her, as I pulled off my shoes and also sat down to remove my wristwatch. I still got no reply from Kelly. This time I turned to look at her with a face void of any emotion."Kelly, what's wrong?" I asked but Kelly ignored me and typed away on her phone.Okay, I'm so done with this.I stood up and marched towards her then snatched the phone away from h
~Ophelia's POV~I looked at Kelly as she paid off the man who had an unhappy look on his face. He nodded his head and walked away. I turned to look at Kelly and tucked my hair behind my ear."So who is the person you got the sudden money from?" I asked her as we both marched down the staircase. She stopped to look at me."Is that your way of thanking me for saving your ass?" She asked with a bored expression. I don't even know if she was acting it out or maybe she was real. I looked away."You don't need to worry. The man is nice. All he just hopes is that when you need his help you can always go to him. And also when he needs a favor, you could return it." She said and walked off. I seriously don't get what is happening again. Since when did we start drifting apart?We used to be close. So... What is happening?I shook my muddled head and walked outside the building. I signaled to the cab coming towards me.It stopped before me and I entered. I passed him the address and he nodded hi
~Ophelia's POV~My best friend, laid before me, with blood spilling from her lips and her eyes opened but lifeless. How the hell did this happen?How could I have forgotten that I was being followed? A waiter had come to meet Demetrius where I was standing and he had whispered in his ear. It was the look of shock that was his face that caught my attention and how the waiter was trembling. I knew something bad if not worse must have happened. I had asked him what was wrong only for him to walk outside and I followed him then I came in contact with this horrific view of the corpse of my best friend. How did it happen?Why... I don't even know what to do. Whether I should cry or just stare, I was shocked.Demetrius had called the cops and they would be here at any time but still I could not find myself moving away from Kelly's dead body. Our friendship had turned rocky ever since we came here. I tried to get back with her but she was not letting me in. And now she was dead. Like dead.
It was evening already and the guests were beginning to stride in. Ophelia was busy welcoming them, she had gone upstairs to change and Loretta had helped her mother into a nice dress and after so many resistance from Maria, she put a little make up on her face. "Thank you for coming." Ophelia said to one of the guests. They nodded their heads and made their way to the place.The cake was brought in by the waitering services and the party soon kicked start. Ophelia was very excited as she could not stop grinning from ear to ear as she watched everyone conversed. Demetrius went to stand close to her as he knew that she could need him at any moment. She turned to him with a appreciative look and he just shook his head."You deserve it and more." He said and she giggled. She was soon called on the podium and people began to drop their gifts then the cake cutting time came where she took pictures with people. The waiters began to serve the wine and everyone chatted away. Unaware to any
I looked up at Demetrius. "Someone is here?" Kelly asked."Come in." Loretta said and the door was pushed open. My mother stepped in, she looked around the place and then her eyes landed on me. My brows creases together."Mother..." She raised her hands to me."You..." She trailed off as she moved closed to us."So you now stay with a man? Or are you here for a celebration? Wait, you are the one celebrating?" She asked and I could feel the hurt in her voice."Mother...." I said as I moved closer to her."Stay away from me." She said, using her hand to make a distance between us."Ophelia." Demetrius called out. I turned to him."This is my mother." I said and his face brightened up."Didn't know you had one. Good day ma." He greeted with a polite smile."You are... That stupid boss of hers?" She asked and I gulped softly.Demetrius turned to look at me with an amused smile then back at her. "Considering that we are meeting for the first time, I will introduce myself. I am Demetrius Va
Weeks later....~Ophelia's POV~Gosh, no one told me morning sickness could be this bad. But–Water splashed on my face and I yelped out."What the heck? Demetrius?!" I yelled out in shock. Water dripped down from my hair to my night gown."Happy Birthday!" Kelly and Demetrius squealed and I could not help but glare at them."I know you wanted to surprise me but do you have to wet me with water like this?!" I asked them and they scoffed. The both of them, Ha!"Happy Birthday to you, Ophelia." Loretta came in with a gift in her hand. Gentle lady manner.I looked around. "Where is Maureen?" I asked.That little devil."She...." Demetrius scratched the back of his neck."How about you dress quickly and come downstairs?" He asked instead and I knew that there was something going on. I stared at him with interest and he shrugged with a smile on his lips. I snorted and climbed down the bed.They both exited the room for me and I picked out the clothes I will be wearing. My baby bump was not
PART FIVE~Demetruis' POV~She is carrying my child? My own freaking child? My child. And she left me. What if something happened to her? Or to the kid?I pulled the car over and stepped out. I walked towards the entrance of Emery's house. Pushing the door open, not caring to knock, I walked inside.I saw her, the devil herself, sitting there with a smoke in her hands and watching Netflix. Spoilt brat."You came back?" She asked as she faced me with a amused look."No, I did not. And will never." I bit out as I clenched my fist from going straight for her plastic chin. Instead I moved closer to her, I leaned over, almost choking on the awful cigarette smell. This brand was really really hard, I wonder how is she yet to run mad. Even I must not take these. Well, what do you expect from someone like Emery?"I know what you did." I whispered and I noticed her throat burp and she choked on the smoke.Good.She started coughing out and reached for the drink. I took it away in a swift motio
PART FOUR~Ophelia's POV~Loretta's lips widened into a grin as she took note of me. From her huge grin I knew her heart leaped with joy. Which was weird for me. I mean why would she be so happy to meet me? I am just an ordinary secretary to her son."Ophelia." She called out with every ounce of your joy she could show. My lips turned into a small smile and I moved forward. "Ma'am." I greeted."Oh my goodness, you are real." She said as she touched her chest. She pulled me into an instant hug and squeezed me tight. Okay, this treatment I am receiving is weird for me today."You don't know how much I missed you." Maureen said and I noticed she was crying.She was crying? For me?I am really heartless.I crouched down to her level and cupped her face in my palms. "I am so sorry, Maureen. I promise you I won't leave again." I said and she blinked her eyes."You won't?" She asked and I nodded my head. "I won't." I stood up."Okay then. I have so many things to show you." She said and was
PART THREE~Ophelia's POV~To say that I was shocked will be an understatement. Damien was standing here. In my little living room. In a casual dress.He raised his brows and folded his arms. "Never knew you were such a loser!" He snapped at me suddenly and I felt the small world I was trying to build crumble down before me at the vocals of his voice."I..." The words could not even form at all. What was he doing here? How did he get here? Why was he here?He stared at me with scrutiny, walked towards me with calculating steps. "So you think you can just leave as you want after what happened?" He asked, his eyes searching for a particular thing I know nothing of. This was dangerous. It was dangerous. Why can't he just let me go?I need to speak up, Clearing my throat, I patted my thigh with my hands. "Nice meeting you again." I said and he uttered a scoff before settling down to sit. I followed his every action. His muscles strained in the pair of jeans he wore. He had his eyes fixat
PART TWOI woke up as early as I could for this mysterious meeting with this person. I was eager to see what he had in store for me but I should also be careful because it could be the person that was stalking Ophelia at that time. But it goes both ways and I hope it is worth the risk I was taking."Demetrius, where are you going so early?" My mother asked as she sipped her tea. That was one thing she was used to. Waking up early and drinking tea as she watches the sun rise."No where. Just have to make a quick visit to someone." I said and she turned to me fully with a shocked expression."Really? Never knew you to make meetings as early as this." She said with her brows raised and I did not want to tell her about it."Mother, it is nothing to worry about. I will be quick." I said and hurried towards the dining table. I picked an apple and bit into it."Goodbye mum." I said and walked out. It was still a little bit dark so I just drove my car. Getting to the place took some minutes,
PART ONE~Ophelia's POV~Kelly moved away from me and went towards the door. I just stood there, expecting to see who it was that came here. Something in me was hoping that it would be HIM. Opening it, she moved back and Ryan peeped in with a cocky smile."Sorry but you left your purse." He said as he handed it over to me. I stared at him with scrutiny. He could have just called me back. Right?He looked at Kelly and I noticed her move uncomfortably on her feet. "Okay, you can leave now. Thank you anyway for the ride. I really appreciate." I said again with a feigned smile that I was not even sure it was there and he nodded his head at me before moving back. Kelly slammed the door shut and glared at me before going to sit down. Just as I was about to utter a word, a knock came again and I groaned out loud. What does he want?I walked towards the door with the aim to speak my mind to him but then I pushed the door open, "I am quite thirsty. I was thinking if you would welcome me insid
