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
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
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
~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.
Chapter 1 "Yes, baby, I want you." The kisses were sloppy as she watched with bewildered eyes. "Jeremy!” She gasped in shock, her chest heaving as she watched him kiss another lady while unbuckling his belt. He moved away from the kiss instantly and looked at her in surprise. He must not have expected her to be here. ‘What was she doing here, by the way? And how did she get the key to his house?’ These were thoughts infiltrating his now disoriented mind. Jeremy gulped hard, staring at her directly with teary eyes. She caught him. She did this time. She sniffed and trudged back into the room in anger. She started picking each bag she brought. Jeremy left the lady he was with and rushed after her into the room. “Babe…” He pleaded. She halted for a while and glared daggers at him with tears running through her green eyes. “Don’t you dare!!!” She yelled at him sternly and packed her heels into the bag. Just as she was about to pick up her bag, he held her hands. “If that hand touch
“So what happened?” Her mom asked the moment she was done drinking from the water bottle. “He cheated on me, mom.” She burst out into sobbing all of a sudden. Her mother, Maria, handed over a tissue to her. She collected it and used it to clear her nose. Her face had turned tomato red from all the crying and thinking. “Hey, calm down, okay?” Her mother said, rubbing her back soothingly. “He said that he loved me, yet he cheated on me. I even wanted to leave my life in London to stay with him. I don't even understand what I did wrong.” She lamented and squeezed her eyes shut as the tears rolled down her cheeks. “I don't have male friends because he demanded I shouldn't. He told me not to go out at night, and I obeyed him. Mom, please tell me where I went wrong.” She rambled amidst crying. It wasn't easy to hear what she was saying, but she understood her. She understood what her daughter was going through. She was dealing with her first heartbreak. It was her forever first break u
“Ophelia.” Her mother called out immediately after she heard her scream. “Mom.” She cried out. “Please, my daughter, open the door.” She begged her. Ophelia stayed for some seconds before getting up and staggered towards the door. Maria heard the door lock click, and she pushed the door open only to see how deranged her daughter looked. “Oh, good heavens.” She grumbled. She looked around and saw how disorganized the room looked. “Ophelia, you can't keep doing this to yourself.” She shrieked. Ophelia brought her mom closer and engulfed her in a tight hug. “Mom.” She called out. “I'm here.” Her mother replied in a calm voice. “Why are we so unfortunate when it comes to men?” she asked with her eyes dazed. “My beloved daughter, we are not unfortunate. It is just that fate is preparing your ideal man for you.” Her mother consoled her and her lips curved in a grim smile. “Ideal man, you say.” She hissed out and pulled away from the hug. “Jeremy was my ideal man, but what did fate
“Out!” He yelled. She looked at him to see if he was drunk or something. She looked around to see what time of the day or, instead, night. It was still dark and likely to be 1:00 AM. “But.. It is midnight.” She said with a confused look. He stared at her blankly. “Are you trying to tell me that I‘m blind?” He asked with furrowed eyebrows. “No, it is just that….” A slap cut her off. It took her by surprise. The slap was so loud that it echoed and woke Ophelia up. Ophelia rushed to her mom's room the moment she heard it. She was about to open the door when she heard her dad chatter. “I said. Get the fuck out, NOW!!!” He yelled again. “Oh... Okay.” She said and scrambled down from the bed. She wore her slippers and exited the room. “Ophelia.” Her mother called in surprise. “Shouldn’t you be sleeping? What are you doing here?” She asked with tears glistening in her eyes. Tears were already streaming down Ophelia's face at the sight of her mother's reddened cheeks. “Mom.” She sai
