OPHELIA

“Welcome Mr Throne, Miss Ophelia, Miss Alia.”

By the time we arrived at Ronan’s home, the housekeepers were already situated by the entrance of the house. Ronan lowered the child to the floor and the moment her eyes fell on the three housekeepers, she quickly hid behind my legs.

I led her forward and we stepped into the house. “Thank you.” Turning to Alia, I made her stand beside me but she struggled and ran behind me again. “She’s a little bit shy around strangers.” We’d need to work o

  • Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex!   I Need Help With My Dress

    OPHELIABy the time we returned to Ronan’s mansion, it was almost midnight. Our ride back from the mansion was silent. Neither of us said anything to each other. I appreciated that. I knew my life had fallen apart the moment I found out Julius had stolen my child but watching it finally fall apart publicly and fully, it was a whole different feeling. I was finally closing the chapter of my previous life.The first thing I did when I stepped into the mansion was head straight to Alia’s room. Pushing the door open carefully, I peeked inside. She was asleep and her little blanket had somehow ended up around her waist again. That brought a smile to my lips.I took off my shoes and tiptoed to pull the blanket over her tiny body. “Always kicking it off.” It was a habit.Once she was properly tucked, I stared at her for a minute and pressed a kiss against her forehead.“This time, Mommy would fight the entire world for you. Goodnight, honey.”Only after making sure she didn’t move from m

  • Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex!   I’d Love To See That Child

    OPHELIAIf Ronan hadn’t already smashed his nose, I’d have done it. Julius didn’t deserve to mention Alia’s name from his scheming mouth.He didn’t deserve Alia.Yet I felt cold shivers run down my spine as his words echoed in my head as Ronan began to lead us out of the hall. What father threatens a mother with her child?“Look here.”“Mrs Whitmore, is the affair true?”“Mrs Whitmore, how do you feel?”“Mr Throne, why are you seeing your brother’s wife?”The reporters' insistent questions vibrated through the room as they tried to push past our security. Ronan’s hold on my wrist was tight. His footsteps were fast that I could barely keep up as he made sure I was behind him, his body shielding mine.Finally, our security stirred them off when we entered a quiet hallway. I paused, needing a minute to catch my breath. For the first time in this night, I let out a deep breath and crouched to hold my knees. Ronan stood there watching me. He didn’t say or do anything other than slippin

  • Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex!   Destroying What Julius Cherishes The Most

    OPHELIAWhat Kate didn’t know was that asking me for proof was the worst mistake she ever made.I glanced back at Ronan. When he gave me a nod, I gestured to one of Ronan’s men behind us. The burly man walked forward and placed my phone in my hand. While they stared at me, I quickly operated the phone and lifted it in the air before pressing play on the recording. Julius’s loud voice immediately streamed from it.[‘I’ll have to get her signature one way or the other. Afterwards, I’ll send you and Alia abroad for the meantime.’‘Will you come with us?’ Selena’s voice rang next. ‘For now, no. Once I acquire her inheritance and use it in getting the hospital back from my brother, we can finally be together as a family.’]Right there, I cut off the recording to find Julius staring at me in disbelief.I knew it. He thought that I loved him too much to ruin the one thing he cherished the most in his life— his public image. But was far too gone to ever consider what I used to feel for him

  • Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex!   He Treated You Like A Queen

    OPHELIA“Didn’t you hear her? She said no.”Just like that, Julius’s smile disappeared. His gaze shifted from his brother to me and then back to Ronan. Something dark settled behind his eyes and his jaw flexed once. “Who are you to step between us? She’s my wife,” he spat.Ronan didn’t so much as blink. “She was your wife. Now she’s about to be mine.”The entire ballroom fell into an uproar. The glasses of the guests around us lowered, conversations breaking out in every direction as they whispered amongst themselves. Julius went unnaturally still, his eyes narrowing.Although the room was in an uproar and the guests questioned themselves, a thick fog of silence enveloped us three for a long time.Afterward, my image-obsessed husband laughed.His chest rumbled lightly for a few seconds before he slowly shook his head. “My brother knows she’s my weak point,” he remarked. “He always enjoys provoking me like this.” And then his eyes deadpanned on me, locking mine in so tightly that

  • Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex!   Stand-In For Julius

    OPHELIAAs I stepped out fully from the car, the gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd. My mother-in-law wasn’t the only one wearing that expression. The cameras clicked faster, the flashes exploding dangerously in such a way that I could barely see the spot ahead of me.Ronan’s men controlled the paparazzi. They kept them at arm's length to make sure they didn’t reach us. “Mr Throne, has your relationship with your family changed?”“Are you attending the party with your husband’s enemy, Mrs Whitmore?” Their questions echoed around us as Ronan extended his arm, which I wrapped my hand around. Together, we stepped through the marble steps leading to the entrance. “Have you completely lost your mind, Opehlia Whitmore?” She bit out through her teeth as we got to the entrance, an obvious practiced smile plastered on her lips. As usual, she ignored Ronan and continued. “Julius would be even more furious with this.”We didn’t stop. Ronan didn’t even spare her a glance and neither

  • Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex!   Just Nervous And Done!

    OPHELIAI was no longer going to pretend my marriage hadn’t ended. Every single time I logged into my internet account, news feeds of Julius and Julius always popped up. If they weren’t calling him the husband of the year, they were calling us the forever couple.Today, my arrival with Ronan at the birthday party would make it clear and break the illusion of a perfect marriage that Julius was trying to keep. Staring at the strings of messages on my phone, I let out a breath.Julius: It’s grandmother’s birthday. Everyone is expecting us. Don’t be absent.Julius: I’ve let you have enough fun with your boyfriend. It’s enough. We’re still married. Don’t embarrass us with your absence.Another one.Julius: Mother has forgiven you for that day. Make sure not to cause a scene today. The next text that I scrolled into made my eyes almost roll inside.Julius: I’m wearing blue. Come wearing blue too.His public image again. Always protecting his appearance, his reputation, and his image in p

    OPHELIAAshford Valentino.That was my father. I didn’t wait another second. My legs instantly led me toward the elevator and out of the company. Even before I sank behind the steering wheel of my car, I’d begun dialing Nova’s number.“Phil, how did it go? You’re out of there?” Her voice rang from

I wanted it to be clear from the deliberate sway of my hips to my loud footsteps that I wasn’t just here for a visit this time. If I

    OPHELIA I stepped away from Julius and looked around our living room. Almost everything was different. Instead of grey, the couches were now white. The middle glass table that my father had gifted me after our wedding was nowhere to be found. The walls were repainted and our wedding portraits? Th

    OPHELIAAlthough my legs were weak from the truth I’d seen inside the office, I posed a confident walk as I stepped through the lobby of Ronan’s company. The stares of Ronan’s employees at me were heavy. They looked from me to their phones and then at me again. They must’ve seen today’s headline.
