Chapter 31 DAHLIA “Congratulations on your divorce.” Helen smiled at me as we walked out of the courtroom. I offered a smile in return. “It's all thanks to your effort and….” I tapped my bandaged head slightly, “of course, my injuries….” “You should thank Mr. Knight too. He made it all happen,” Helen lightly nudged my shoulders and gestured in Ronan Knight's direction. He was leaning on his car, his hands in his pocket with his eyes on me. I paused for a while, staring back at him. I expected him to break eye contact, but he didn't. Instead, he smiled at me. Nope, you didn't hear wrong. Ronan Knight smiled at me. Seeing his smile for the very first time gave me an unexplainable feeling. I suddenly felt giddy and my heart fluttered. I quickly looked away from him. Helen suddenly chucked. “You're attracted to him too. Give him a shot, he is definitely better than the jerk you just divorced.” I shook my head at her words. She got it all wrong, the feeling just now was just s

Chapter 32 RONAN I watched Dahlia beat up her sister from a distance. It filled me with immense satisfaction knowing she wasn't a weak woman but someone who could stand up for herself. Helen attempted to intervene and stop her but then one look from me was all it took for her to step aside. She instead blocked Dahlia from other people's view, to give room for her to deliver proper punches. When I felt she had hit her sister enough, I stepped in. Only because I didn't want her hand to hurt even a tiniest bit. I managed to calm her down, promising to help her get back at them. “Next time we cross paths, I won't just beat you up. I'll force that bastard out of your stomach. Stay off my path, Roselle,” Dahlia had told her sister before letting me lead her away. She was now seated next to me in my car as we drove to Helixx. She never said a word and had her focus out the window the entire time. Soon, I arrived at our destination and pulled up. I got out of the car and helped her out

Chapter 33 DAHLIA I wanted to protest. I didn't want Blake to drive me. The guy doesn't like me and I don't either. To be fair, his job is to assist Ronan, not drive me around. I'd definitely hate me if I were to be in his shoes. I called out to Ronan the moment he walked away and hurried over, intending to make him call back Blake. When he unexpectedly turned and made me lose balance. I didn't expect I'd fall into his arms. And worse he grabbed my boobs and ass. It was one awkward moment. I was supposed to be upset at this, but for some reason my face flushed and my stupid heart began to thud. I quickly pulled myself off his hold, nearly stumbling to the ground. Then I rushed into the car and slammed the door. “You just got divorced, Dahlia. These men are all the same!” I reminded myself multiple times. I took deep breaths to calm my thudding heart, while constantly reminding myself that relationships were a weakness. Love, family relationship, every single one of them was a

Chapter 34 DAHLIA I felt a little sense of satisfaction and accomplishment as I locked my house. Watching the Sterlings trying to cover their nudity was surely something I'd look forward to seeing again. After taking their clothes, I made the guys Ronan sent to rip them apart and then I locked the door. Threw them out on the streets and locked the gate. “They're shameless!” One of the neighbours shouted as I got out of the house. I never knew they paid attention to our affairs. But from the way they were throwing insults at the Sterlings and refusing to give them any sort of help, I realized they'd been pretty attentive to our lives. “That man didn't deserve you. I'm glad you got rid of him,” an old lady patted my back. “I'd usually watch him from my window with different women each day. But it wasn't in my place to tell. I'm happy you finally got rid of him and his despicable people,” Another, yet again commended me. What followed was the neighbours coming together and booing

Chapter 35 DAHLIA I spent the entire night going through the files Ronan gave me. The company was stable, and in perfect condition. The finances were great and I would say I'm impressed by their annual income. The company has everything I wanted to achieve with DAHL. Too bad I let stupid emotions come in my way. But now that I know better, I'll definitely attain this goal once Desmond hands over the company. When morning came, I dressed up and headed downstairs to meet Ronan. I found him in the dining hall having his meal. I took my seat right opposite him and began eating too. We never said a word to each other throughout the meal. But that didn't stop him from staring right at me like I had my dress inside out. “Quit staring at me, Mr. Knight. One might think you're suddenly interested in me,” I looked up at him. He chuckled. “What if I am?” “Did you forget what you said? We're in different leagues….I also have no interest in getting together with you or anyone else,” I flatly

Chapter 36 DAHLIA “I never signed any contract using DAHL. Desmond must have done it. Or maybe you…” I denied him on the spot. Classic of him to show up here, and try to use me. After betraying, and declaring I wasn't his daughter. “Dahlia, what are you saying? You got the contract,” Timothy insisted, pointing at me. I scoffed, and folded my arms under my breast. “The police will arrive here soon, and you'll be arrested for bribery. You should know I do not tolerate such,” Ronan stated, his aura blazing so much. The Ronan before me was nothing like the one I've been with these past weeks. He was cold, distant and scary. I instinctively took a step back from him. He seemed to notice my movement. He turned to me, offered me a gentle smile, then held my hand and pulled me back to my initial position. He let go without saying a word. I looked up at him and before I realized it, a smile graced my lips. “Such a gentleman,” my stupid mouth uttered. Ronan seemed to have heard my utte

Chapter 37 DAHLIA “My grandfather is at the manor right now. We should go greet him together,” Ronan said the moment he got out of the car. “What?” This was by no means what I was expecting to hear at that moment. Yes, we have an agreement. A signed contract but I never expected his old man to suddenly show up just a day after my divorce. “Let’s go,” he stretched out his hands towards me. I looked down at his hand, then shook my head. “I have to go visit my employees. I can’t forfeit that just to go entertain your grandfather,” I took a step back from him But then, he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. That was so unexpected that I fell into his arms, my head rested on his chest, then I looked up at him. His eyes were on me too. “You'll come with me to the manor, Dahlia,” his tone was calm, and hypnotizing. I found myself nodding to his words like a fool. “Words, Dahlia. You'll come with me, right?” He asked. I nodded, “Yes.” My eyes, still up at him. His gaze was

Chapter 038 RONAN Dahlia was being silly. Acting like she has grown familiar and comfortable with me. Watching her get into the back seat, knowing I hated having to drive anyone around. I could only smile and decide to get back at her. After locking her up in the car, I found my way into the manor and soon found my grandfather. “When I said you could stop by at the manor. Didn't you know it was just for familiarity? I never meant for you to come,” I muttered the moment I got to where he sat. SMACK!! His hand met my head. “You stay in this huge property alone. No woman, no companion. You don't even have a dog….I'm living here from now on….” He announced. “What do you mean by that?” I paused. Hell, no. My old man living here with me is something I'd never wish for. “Well, since you've decided not to get into any relationships or get married. I've decided to move in. Maybe you can consider getting married to me,” he glared at me, raising his walking stick to hit my he

Chapter 39DAHLIA “So, when are you two getting married?” Ronan's grandfather asked.I choked on my spit and began coughing. The word marriage now triggers something in me, something dark, a very bad and brooding feeling.I kept coughing till someone passed me a glass of water, Ronan.But looking up at him and imagining myself getting married to him. I felt repulsed, angry at him. I couldn't even understand what I felt. But whatever it was, it was a dangerous feeling.“Drink some water,” he patted my back and tried to hand the water over to me.I roughly brushed his hand off my back, smacked the cup off his hand and rose from my seat. My body, trembling. Maybe I was wrong a while ago, yes, the word ‘marriage’ awoke something dark in me. But it also awoke something else–fear.I found my way to the stairs, still coughing and rushed the stairs. Barely seeing what was before me. I took the stairs two at a time and just when I got to Ronan’s door which was just a door before mine. I felt

Chapter 40 RONAN When the doctor told me that Dahlia could have panic attacks or some sort of trauma from her previous marriage and all the betrayal, I never expected it to be linked to a simple word ‘marriage’ Watching her cough and act up at the mention of that one word, put me on a hot seat. I was sincerely worried and almost frightened. Trust me, these two feelings are something I thought would never be attributed to me. But because of one stubborn woman. I felt them. I gave her the medication the doctor had given me the day he came here and once she fell asleep, I stayed beside her all night long. She had a fever the entire night, I stayed awake cleaning her body and trying to regulate her temperature. I had left her in her camisole at first, but then when dawn came, her fever was suddenly gone and she had a cold. I had to make her wear something else. Getting downstairs, Dahlia took a seat at the end of the dining table, while I took mine, right next to my grandfather. Sin
