Jeremy is dead?
~Ophelia's POV~I stood shaking as the cops carried his body away from the place."Miss, you are needed to make a statement at the station." The man said and I looked at him and nodded my head a little bit hesitantly.Few minutes later I was in the station, writing down my statement. "Okay, miss. We will call you if we need you for any information." The officer said and I nodded my head.I exited the station and signaled to a cab which parked in front of me. I looked at the cab carefully now that I know that I am not safe.I sat in the passage seat and the driver asked where I was going to. I told him the address and wrapped my hand around myself.What happened just kept replaying in my head... He was killed. In front of me. And... I could not do anything about it.The cab stopped and I stepped out. I scanned his QR code and paid him before I walked into the building. This time I looked around even more carefully.I got to the apartment and just pushed the door open. I went in and sl
~Ophelia's POV~Demetrius dropped me off after work as usual but not after making sure his bodyguards checked my surroundings."It is safe, sir." The body guards said and he looked at me."Should I send a car over or do you still know the way?" He asked and I contemplated for some seconds."Send a car over." I said and he nodded his head. He got into the car and drove off.I went into the building and walked straight to my apartment. Kelly was home and I could be at peace."Welcome." She said which surprised me. my eyebrows creased in confusion and stared at her.She rolled her eyes and got off the bed."I see that you are in a good mood tonight. Tell me I really want to know about your relationship with your boss." She said and I scoffed."There is nothing going on between him and I. Just the boss to the Secretary relationship. Nothing at all." I said with a shrug and I scoffed."You are lying to me, huh?" She asked and I turned towards her."Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that qu
~Ophelia's POV~The car drove into the Demetrius' mansion parking lounge and I stepped out of the car.I walked towards the entrance of the house and pushed the door. What is the need to knock when they know I was coming anyways?I entered and saw no one was in the large living room, then suddenly I heard giggling and chuckling as steps became louder. Demetrius was carrying Maureen and he seemed to be saying something into her ears and she was giggling.They soon saw me standing there and I felt left out."Oh, Ophelia, you are here." Maureen said as she impatiently got down from Demetrius hand and ran over to me. I prepared to hug and she pulled me in tightly."How are you?" I asked her."I am fine and you?" She asked."I'm good." I replied."I guess you must be wondering why I asked my brother to tell you to come visit me. Well, it is because I like having someone who is just as old as Dimitri to be my friend. Ever since Emery stopped visiting or calling me, I have been so lonely." S
*Two days Later*~Ophelia's POV~We stood at the airport with our luggage close to us. I wonder why Demetrius is not letting us use his private jet rather we are using a commercial aeroplane. The plane was taking off in a few minutes and Demetrius was busy typing away on his phone.I tapped my foot continuously on the floor and he faced me with an arched eyebrow. "What is wrong?" He asked."When are we going to the plane?" I asked and he looked at me like I had grown two heads."My private jet is to arrive, dummy." He replied and looked back at his phone. Oh, we are even using his private jet. That is nice.I don't think I can stand being in the aeroplane.His phone rang and he picked it."Is it ready?" He asked and then he nodded his head."Let us move." He said and I dragged our luggage along with me.We got to his white private jet and got in. We took a seat respectively and I looked outside. I used my seat belt...**As we got down from the jet, a black limousine was already awai
~Ophelia's POV~We were soon done with our breakfast and we headed towards the car. The driver pushed the door open for us and we stepped in. I looked outside through the window, watching people as they moved around. Goosebumps prickled my skin and my eyebrows scrunched up together. Why do I feel like someone is watching me? Someone was watching me.I looked outside through the window again and did not see anyone unusual. "Are you okay?" Demetrius asked and I faced him with worry etched on my face."I feel like I am being followed," I said as he sighed before holding me by my hands."You don't need to be scared. I am here with you." He said and picked up his phone. He dialed some numbers and a voice came through."Eliminate all threats." He said firmly and disconnected the call. My mouth hung open at the voice he used."Are you ready?" The driver asked and I nodded my head. I guess he could see me through the mirror. He ignited the car's engine and zoomed off. I was beginning to rel
~Ophelia's POV~So Demetrius has been inside the place for fifteen hours now and I have been unable to see him or meet him. Even the doctor. After signing that file, he was treated immediately. Thank goodness it was just the arm. It should be nothing major.Gosh, I am so worried right now. Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered the sight from earlier on. Why is this happening to me for goodness' sake?I rested my head against the chair. The door creaked open and I jerked up instantly. "Doctor... Tell me... How is he?... Tell me..." I stuttered as I tried taking a peep into the room. He exhaled and held me by my shoulders."Calm down, Miss." He said and my chest heaved up and down. But my heart was not calm, it kept beating."He is fine now. He is out of the danger zone at least." He said and I released a deep, relief breath."So what will happen now?" I asked."Just give him some time. He was given some anaesthetic. So he will rest." He said and I nodded my head."Thank you, docto
~Demetrius' POV~She cried for me. Naughty girl.I watched her as she exited the room and sighed. I cast a glance at my arm and hissed out. Who the actual hell shot me like that?And also why was Ryan here? He could not be here so quickly considering the distance. I need to rest. The door soon opened and the doctor walked in alongside Ophelia."Mr. Valecian, you are awake already. How do you feel?" He asked me and I relaxed against the pillow and started replying to his questions. At least the ones I have the answer to."Okay, we will check other things and let you know when he will be discharged. But for now, he won't be able to use his arms so for now, as his girlfriend..." He was still saying when my head registered the word he said.Girlfriend?Who is my girlfriend?Wait, he was talking to Ophelia... I looked at me and she smiled at me nervously."I might have said that so you would be attended to quickly." She said and I understood. It is not something bad anyways if she introdu
~Ophelia's POV~His breath fanned my face as I looked into deep blue eyes. Emotions flowed as I blinked my eyes with a gulp. The connection was so broken as he groaned out since I pressed further into his arms. I realized it soon and hurriedly scrambled up. "Hmm, sorry. It was my belt." I said and pulled it out. He looked at me for a few seconds before turning to lie on his side."Good night. Sweet dreams." I said and exited his room.I looked through my phone and saw fifteen missed calls from Kelly and twenty missed calls from my mother. That is strange. Kelly has not called even after I got here.I dialed my mother's number first and she picked it up immediately."Ophelia?" She asked like she was not sure she was talking to me."Hi, mum." I greeted with less enthusiasm."Oh my goodness, Ophelia. You almost gave me an attack." She said and I frowned my face."What do you mean by that?" I asked her."Didn't you see the news?" She asked and I furrowed my eyebrows further."See what?" I
~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
