~Ophelia's POV~"Thank you so much for taking care of him. I don't know what I would have done if not for you." Loretta said and I could not help but feel guilty. It was my fault that he was shot. But I managed to force a small smile."Demetrius does not deserve to be neglected." I said and she nodded her head in reply."Beautiful Lady." Maureen said and I turned to look at her with a smile."Hi, pretty girl." I replied and she grinned."I am glad you were there with my brother." She said and I smiled even more. What could be better than having people who care deeply about you?"Okay, I think I had better leave. My friend who I share the apartment with me will be really mad at me." I said.Not like I cared. But I had to give an excuse.Maureen frowned and it broke my heart to leave. But I have to. Right now."Okay then. I will inform Demetrius." Loretta said."You don't need to inform me." His voice boomed from behind. Gosh, when did he come downstairs? I turned around and saw him. He
~Ophelia's POV~My phone beeped and I swiveled my head to look at the screen.Demetrius: Gotten home already?I picked up the phone and typed. "Yup."It showed some three dots with a typing signal.It soon beeped again.Demetrius: Mom was worried because of the sudden rain.I rolled my eyes at what he said."I'm fine, okay." I typed back.Demetrius: Don't forget that we will be going to the party. Gosh, why does he keep texting back?"I know." I typed back.Demetrius: okay.I sighed and dropped the phone before climbing on the bed to sleep.Two days Later***I walked into the tall building and muttered some words to the receptionist before walking into the elevator. I was in no mood for any conversation at all. I even contemplated telling Demetrius about the man I saw yesterday but decided against it. He has gotten too involved in the already and I don't want to be the one responsible for his death. The elevator made some landing noise and I stepped out. Entering into the office, Dem
~Third Person POV~"Come outside." Demetrius texted her."On my way." She texted back. He stepped out of the car as he rested against his Lamborghini."Hi." Her voice sounded from behind and he turned around.She... Was beautiful. The red gown fitted her and her curves... Her cleared my throat, banning such thoughts from his mind.He buttoned up his suit and stepped into the car while she followed suit."You look pretty." He said as he cleared his throat. Ophelia looked at him with a small smile."And my boss does not look any less of an handsome man." She said and he chuckled."So where is this party going to be held?" She asked him."Their house." **During the entire drive, Demetrius could not stop side glancing at Ophelia. Her skin pricked with goosebumps as she looked outside, as if she knew he was looking at her. She fanned herself with her hand as she was feeling hot. The driver soon stopped the car and they stepped out. Ophelia looked around and people were already gathered
~Third Person's POV~She walked towards the drink counter, looking around and making sure no one saw her. Signalling to the bartender, a glass of wine was pushed forward. She poured the content into it and shook the drink."Over there." She said, pointing in the direction. The waiter nodded and carried the drink to the place Demetrius stood. He collected the wine cup with a smile and took a sip from it. She smiled and walked towards him."You seem to be avoiding me, Dimitri." She said as she trailed her finger down his arm. He glared at her and shook her finger off him. "You are still affected by me." She said with a laugh."No, I am not. Your touch is repulsive." He said and drank from the glass again. She smiled satisfactorily."If you might excuse me, I want to search for someone." He said but she held her hands out to him."If you are searching for someone, I guess it is that petty Secretary of yours?" She asked and he clenched his jaws."She is not petty. You are." He bit out to
~Ophelia's POV~Huh?!"Demetrius, wake up. What is happening to you? You were fine just a while ago." I said but instead he tugged at my dress."Emery." He mumbled as he brought his hands up to my shoulder blades."Why did you hurt me? You know I loved you so much!" What?! He thinks I am Emery.He is crazy.I tried to pull away but he held me in place. I don't know how he did it but he flipped me over on the bed and now, he is lying on top of me."Ophelia?" He said my name as if he was not expecting me to be here."You know you look hot in this dress but I could not tell you because of my ego. And not to add... I really want to see..." He trailed off as he stared at my lips. Before I could think about anything, he covered my lips with his and sucked on my lower lips. A gasp erupted from me and I tried to wriggle out of his hold but he was too strong. No, I can't let him go on. No, he would take my... Never.I used all my strength to pull him away but... He was just not bulging. "Dem
~Demetrius' POV~Gosh, someone should close the window."Mom!" I mumbled as I tried to shade my face away from the light but I felt like someone was resting on my arms.Who the hell was... Ophelia? I looked at the face properly, only to see Emery, lying here with me?I pushed her off me as if she was some pest. She groaned out and I sat up instantly."What the hell is going on?" I asked and she rubbed her eyes."Demetrius," she said in a childish voice that did not fit her."Why are you in this place? And where is this place?" I asked and she scoffed."This is my father's house." She said."And why am I..." I looked down at my bare chest and fought so hard not to scream."Why the hell am I naked?!" I yelled at her and she flinched."Remember last night?" She asked and I stared at her blankly.What was she talking about?"What night? I swear to whatsoever right, Emery, I will kill you if you don't hop off this bed." I threatened with a menacing glare and she stood up from the bed."Gos
TWO MONTHS LATER...~Ophelia's POV~I waited impatiently with the pregnancy test paper with me as I tried not to be nervous. Gosh, my breath hitched as I took it in my hand. The mark indicated that I was... I am pregnant! What the actual hell?How could this be so possible? It was a one time thing and I did not take it seriously. Oh, my bad. Gosh, and I ran like a coward. How am I going to raise these kids on my own? I don't even have a job. Nothing. Nothiinnnggg!! Ah, my life.I even stopped seeing Demetrius or even stopped working for him. But what do I want to tell him now? When I am carrying his child? That I am carrying his child? What must he think of me right? That I am a freaking whore and had se.x with him for money? Ha!I need to do something right now, really need to do it but what. A knock on the door made me jerk as I cautiously walked towards the door. "Open, Ophelia. It is me." Kelly said and I exhaled deeply. She quickly as if she does want to get seen and jammed the d
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
~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,
