The atmosphere at the table was very light as Ophelia, Agnes, and Gabriel chatted. Ophelia was especially lively with Gabriel because she had missed him. Since being adopted at age six, Gabriel had been her childhood best friend. They did a lot of things together, often getting into trouble, which led many people to believe they were more than just friends. “So, Ophelia, what are you into these days?” Agnes interjected, drawing Ophelia's attention away from Gabriel. “I plan to manage for a friend who is coming for two months.I need to raise money to start my fashion brand,” Ophelia replied with a smile. Agnes knew Ophelia was neither lazy nor lacking in ambition, so she nodded in understanding. Ophelia then returned to chatting with Gabriel while Agnes giggled, enjoying the sight of them together. “You two look great together! Don’t you think you should consider dating?” Agnes teased, causing Ophelia to almost choke on the water she was drinking.“Did I say something that wasn’t g
With pain in her eyes, Ophelia stared at Logan, feeling hurt by his words."I should have known you weren't different," he scoffed before turning and walking away. At that moment, Ophelia closed her eyes tightly, desperately trying to stop the tears that flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks. She never imagined that Logan would believe the lies about her, but like every other man she had encountered in her life, he did.*Meanwhile, as Logan continued to puff out smoke from his mouth dangerously and he kept on drinking the liquor in his hand, nonstop, he felt a figure walk close to him."I can satisfy you, Mr. President," The lady in very exposed clothes smiled seductively at him but he only kept on drinking his liquor.Logan's mind was on Ophelia the whole time. He was going to make her pay since she loved playing with men's hearts!And then just a single touch from the woman ignited something dangerous in Logan. His beautiful sex-freak nature was back! Something he had tried suppress
The journey was marked by an uncomfortable silence, with neither of them exchanging a word. Eventually, Logan pulled into his parking spot. As he stepped out of his car, he roughly pulled Ophelia inside. "You're hurting me!" she winced, feeling his nails already digging into her skin. Logan roughly tossed her onto the sofa. "I'm pregnant!" Ophelia shot back immediately, but Logan only found it amusing. Despite his growing hatred for her, there was an undeniable truth he struggled to acknowledge deep within. "You are utterly despicable and shameless!" he exclaimed, his words laced with contempt. "I wish I had never crossed paths with you. I could have taken care of my child myself without having you involved in our lives!" Ophelia told him. Logan felt pained with what she had said but he immediately brushed it off, not letting her notice. Without warning, Logan pinned her to the sofa and started to kiss her roughly. "Logan!" Ophelia winched in pain, she suddenly started feeling
"What are you planning to do?" Henry, Abigail's companion, asked her with a smirk."Could you do me a favor and keep an eye on Ophelia? I'll be there shortly," Abigail said into the phone."Abigail, no one is allowed to enter her ward. I overheard some gossip that the best doctor in the world will be performing the abortion.""Abort?!" Abigail exclaimed, taken aback. But in the next moment, she chuckled in satisfaction."That bitch is getting what she deserves," Abigail snorted silently."Don’t worry, I’ll be there shortly," Abigail reassured him before hanging up the phone."What’s your plan?" Henry asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice."Henry, where did you get that chemical?" Abigail pressed him, and as she recognized his understanding of her intentions, Henry smiled, pleased with himself.*"Berry, you called for me," Caroline said with a smile as she strolled into Berry's office, wearing a revealing dress.She observed the man from behind, who didn't turn to acknowledge her pr
"I'm sorry, Mr. President, but I have no interest in marrying your daughter," Kennedy said firmly, noting the rage flashing across his father’s face.At the same time, his fiancée’s expression fell as she stared at him, shocked. She had believed that Kennedy would say yes after eavesdropping on an argument between him and his parents."President Xavier, I'm sure Kennedy really wants to marry your daughter; he's just caught off guard right now, right?" Kennedy's mother, Ella, clenched her jaw in frustration, her eyes fixed on her son with disappointment."I'm not," Kennedy replied, his fists clenched in frustration. "I'm interested in someone else."He could hear his father curse under his breath, but it didn’t faze him."Patrick, you know I hate wasting my time. You shouldn't have brought this up when you knew he wasn't interested," the president shot back icily before standing up and striding away."You can't be serious about not marrying me because of that girl, right?" his fiancée
Logan's face darkened as he read the message, his mood shifting dramatically. Joe, catching the sudden change, leaned in and asked, "President Logan, is something the matter?"Logan couldn't find his voice, his heart shattering into a million pieces. Ophelia had taken her own life. Guilt washed over him, and for a moment, he struggled to rein in his emotions.Without thinking, he turned to Joe, seeking some form of understanding."I need to go now. Make sure you track Ophelia and send me her location right away," Logan said before rushing out the door. "What’s going on with him?"Joe was puzzled by Logan's demeanor and the distress he seemed to be in, but he quickly got into the car that had just arrived and began tracking her location.At the same time, Berry saw the same message, his expression falling blank in surprise. He had never anticipated this; everything was happening so fast.Suddenly, a coldness washed over his eyes as a troubling thought crossed his mind.Logan had been in
~7 years later~A young, attractive woman was completely engrossed in her work, surrounded by a mountain of documents. In that moment, she resembled a true workaholic."Ma'am, will I be the one to pick up little Camelia from kindergarten today?" Lily, the woman's secretary, inquired."No, I’ll be picking her up as I usually do," the young woman replied, and Lily nodded before stepping out.Just then, a message popped up on her screen, and she frowned upon reading it."What is he up to this time?" She frowned in frustration.Quickly glancing at her watch, she realized it was time to pick up her daughter from school. Without further delay, she cleared her table and hurried out the door.*"What the hell!" The young woman came to a screeching halt as someone suddenly jumped in front of her car. She quickly rushed out, only to find an old man in a hospital gown standing there.He wore a peculiar smile as he approached her, reaching out to caress her hair gently. Despite her status and the
“Adam!” Ophelia exclaimed, her voice filled with surprise and delight as Camila rushed toward him, her small arms wrapping around his waist in an enthusiastic embrace.“Hello there, my little sweetheart!” Adam replied with a broad smile, effortlessly lifting Camila off the ground. Her contagious laughter echoed through the room, creating a joyful atmosphere.“When did you come back?” Ophelia inquired, still trying to wrap her mind around the unexpected turn of events and feeling a rush of joy at the sight of him.“Oh come on, at least pretend to be happy to see me!” Adam jested, feigning a pout that exaggerated his playful demeanor.“Mummy is so mean!” Camila chimed in, her innocent observation stemming from witnessing Ophelia crossing her arms in mock annoyance. Their playful banter ignited a wave of laughter that filled the room."So, I have to ask, when exactly did you arrive back?" Ophelia queried in a moment of curiosity, her gaze fixed on Adam as he made himself comfortable on t
