The next day.Ophelia stirred slowly in her sleep waking up to the rays of sunlight she stressed Sluggishly on the bed.She stood up and walked to the sitting room still yawning, she saw Rome who was busy doing something on his laptop.Remembering she now has a room mate a smile tugged at her lips.“Good morning!!” she greeted. “Morning!” Rome replied raising his head.“Hmmm,” you are not going to work? Ophelia asked still yawning.“Yes!” Just get dressed we are going out Rome replied.“Really!” Ophelia screamed happily noticing the way Rome was looking at her she felt shy and ran back to his room.She was so happy that she jumped on the bed happily, stripping herself naked she ran inside the bathroom and let the water splash on her she danced happily. She has married him for more than a month now and he never wants to stay in the house with her talkless of an outing or having a meal together.But now he suddenly returned home and apologized. He even had a meal with her and even a d
Ophelia was rushed to the hospital and after effortlessly trying the doctors brought her back to life.The Next Morning.Ophelia opened her eyes and found an IV needle stuck in the back of her handWhen she tried to get up, she felt her back hurt. A low groan escaped her lips as she lay back down. Her eyes stared at the ceiling silently, trying to gather her strength.But then she was surprised to hear Rome’s gentle voice in the room."Good morning Ophelia”. I suggest you don't move before the doctor checks your condition."Rome put his iPad on the coffee table. And walked towards the bed. He saw the girl lying down again. Her face was pale, and her turquoise eyes were slightly reddened but still gorgeous.Ophelia then saw him towering beside the bed looking handsome in a white shirt and navy trousers. His hair is neatly combed back. He seemed to be so busy but couldn't go to work because of her, unlike her, who was still wearing a hospital gown with her lion hair.“Am sorry!” If ke
Dave walked in and went straight to Ophelia's bed, ignoring Rome's presence he touched Ophelia’s forehead.“Thank goodness!” Your temperature is okay he said with a smile.I need to take care of something you stay with her Rome said walking out.“How can you be so careless” Dave spat out angrily.“It's funny hearing that from your mouth”. Rome mocked before walking out.Soon a guard came in packed all his documents and left.Dave looked at the sleeping Ophelia, her eyelashes were slowly twitching. Noticing that Dave smiled.“Do you think you can keep up pretending!?” Dave teased.“Uhhhhh!” good morning Mr. Dave” Ophelia yawned pretending.You must think am a fool right Dave yelled sitting beside her.“Am hungry!” Ophelia said ignoring his complaint.Dave saw her food that was half eaten beside her but she still denied it.“I will feed you!” Dave insisted lifting the spoon towards her mouth.“I lost my appetite!” Ophelia complained with a pout.You are always behaving like a baby, Dave
“What can I help you with?” Jonathan asked Ignoring Rome’s cold gaze. He brought out a whine and poured it into two glass cups in front of him he picked one up and offered one to Rome.“Am not here for your drink” So let's get down to business Rome said uncrossing his legs.“And what might the business be?” For Mr. Sinclair to be so worked up. Jonathan inquired with a smile.“I guess you are as hardworking as the rumors implied” Mr. Jonathan” Sensing how well you are so worked up. Rome replied with a smile.Rumors can be unpredictable Jonathan said smiling back.Is that why you are exploiting your workers and you are getting richer by captivating them? Rome mocked.Jonathan's eyes turned red, he gripped his hand tight with confusion written over his face. He smiled brightly, “What are you trying to.…“You mean how I knew your top secret,” Rome said cutting him off and standing up with a smile.Rome turned his back on him and continued; You exploiting money from all your workers and as
The car stops in front of the hospital and Rome gets down with Georgina holding his arms.They took the elevator to Ophelia’s ward. Sighting Rome and Georgina Ophelia and Dave looked at them in awe.“That is Uncle Dave and the lady I told you about,” Rome said pointing towards Dave and Ophelia.The woman you want to protect Georgina replied with a smile.Rome bent down a little to her level and ticked his fingers with hers “Remember your promise okay” he said as they shook their hands.“Yes, Big brother!!” I made a promise to protect you Georgina replied with a smile.She rushed towards Ophelia and Dave, bowing down she said to Ophelia with teary eyes. I am sorry” that my father caused your accident, he only did it to protect me. She apologized.“What is happening!?” Dave asked confused.Let’s talk outside Rome said walking out and Dave tailing behind.Sorry can you make yourself clear, Ophelia asked Georgina who was still bending her head.I am Georgina, my father was a security in
Dave looked in the mirror and saw his horrible face. Immediately he knew it was Georgina's handwork. He rushed downstairs in anger and Saw Georgina serving breakfast in the dining. “What are you doing” Did you order breakfast? Dave asked confused. He was shocked the crybaby who almost took his life yesterday was the one who cooked the food he is eating today. I cooked it! Big brother, “I can cook” In fact, I can drive, there is nothing that I can do. Georgia boasted happily. “And the clothes You are wearing?” Dave asked trying not to be provoked. “In your wardrobe” Georgina replied with a smile. “You!!” what did you do to my face Dave yelled rushing toward her. I just want you to look beautiful Georgia screamed running away. They chased each other around the house for some minutes before Dave finally got hold of her. He gave her a punishment by asking her to stand stiff in place without moving. He went back upstairs and washed off the makeup on his face before finally t
“Don't bully my brother” Georgina screamed making Celine shiver. She stood firm in front of Dave ready to protect him at any time.Seeing this Dave could only smile, He couldn't believe this skinny girl was willing to save him from Celine.Guess you got a new bitch and an underage for that matter Celine mocked.Just go inside Dave said patting Georgina on the shoulder. Georgina looked at Celine with disdain look before walking past her. She went inside with a pout.I think I knew her somewhere she said trying to remember, she leaned against the door to hear the conversation between Celine and Dave.“What did you say you have” Dave inquired with a cold glare.“Something that can destroy your entire life”. Celine replied with a devilish smile.“And that is?” The information on your real mother “ Liora Edward” What do you think the world will say if they find out “Rosalie Sinclair” is not your real mother Celine said while laughing Sarcastically.“Celine Grey” I don't know where you h
Ophelia was resting on her bed she could finally move slowly but she couldn't stand for a long time because her leg was not fully healed.Getting off the bed she tried to stand up and to her amusement she can now stand firmly. Rome has always been keeping her company ever since she was sick so he has less time to work which she felt bad about.Happily, she ran to Rome’s front she needed to inform him about the good news. She was happy that she did not bother to knock she just entered the room directly. But Rome wasn't inside.That was the first time she had entered his room so of course she was surprised at how large and well-designed the room was. On the outside the room looked small like any other room but on the inside, it looked bigger than even two Big sizes of her room.The bedroom was well designed with a huge king bed size and a well-designed image of him hung against the wall. On the other side is a large study room full of books and a message chair by the other side. Even t
There is an assassin organization named “The Red Jade Organizations” We are Orphans trained to become assassins as kids and we are taught to kill the weakest amongst us to become stronger.The leader of our Organization is called “Godmother” A woman in her 70s who always goes around in a mask. Nobody knows what she looks like or her actual appearance we just know she is an old woman.Some years ago Sister Savvana was given a mission to enter the Sinclair family. Her mission is simple. “Kill the first son of the Sinclairs and return back!” I was still a small girl then but I adore her so much because she is the only Superiors that spare us a glance the rest are just animals. I begged her not to go for the mission because according to God mother if she was caught the reward was death. But she insists saying she needed to take revenge on you so she went for the mission bravely.She didn't tell me the full details of how you started dating but she told me she got you through your brother
Dave quickly ran after her and grabbed her hands. “What the hell is wrong with you!? " he yelled.Ophelia! She just went in that direction. She is the one I need to catch up with. Dave, please let me go. Milana Shouted at the top of her lungs, tears forcing their way out of her eyes.I know you are concerned about your Sister Milana! But Ophelia is not here, She will probably be at home by now let’s leave this place first. Dave asserted with a faint smile.Milana looked around and saw everyone glaring at them, feeling embarrassed she used Dave's body to cover herself while she bit on her lower lips regretfully.It's okay! Ophelia will be fine. Dave assured patting her on the back continuously.“What are you all glaring at!?” You've never seen a lady that cries before?? Georgina sneered at the people looking at Milana and they all stopped glaring walk away.Crazy people she cursed again as she dragged Milana's luggage along with her, She walked away leaving both Dave and Milana all alo
He knew she was angry about the pregnancy but it wasn't something that worth meeting his father for. Moreover, Celine already lost the pregnancy so she has nothing to fear.“What did you mean!?” He asked acting confused.There is something I need to ask your father and it's urgent. So I need to see him first.Anything You want to ask him can wait, we just have to return and make sure you rest properly before visiting the mansion. He said as still dragged her closer for a hug.Ophelia pushed him away again and shouted, it can't be Rome! It can't! It has to be today. I need to ask him everything today she shouted as tears well up in her eyes. She wanted to hide it before but she can't again. She needs to let go of Rome and the whole of Sinclairs even if it will only bring her endless pain and regret.It's okay! But you don't need to cry, If you want to see Father I can take you to him right now So you don't need to cry. Rome said and quickly reached for her face to clean her tears but a
Rome carried Celine in his hands as he left the scene hurriedly he didn't even turn back or take a look at Ophelia.Ophelia wanted to rush after him but She instantly stopped in her tracks remembering what Celine told her. She covered her face with her palms and increased her tears again.She felt a light touch on her shoulders and slowly raised her head, She was surprised Rome came back for her despite the dire situation but was shocked by the person she saw when she uncovered her face.“I understand your feelings!” You are the reason we are all here but it feels like everyone is leaving you behind. It's okay, but we need to leave here now before it becomes even more dangerous. Adrain assured with a huge smile.Ophelia was just looking at him like a fool, Not because she didn't understand his word but by the way he was assuring her and even Patting her on the shoulders. Someone who was threatening her not to be too happy is now Stylishly mocking her. She slowly looked around, and tha
“Who exactly are you!?” Milana asked finally turning to face Georgina who has been holding her hand affectionately ever since they left Sicily. Her mind had been clouded with Ophelia’s whereabouts that she didn't even reply Georgina ever since she as been talking to her and Couldn't take a look at Dave because of anger. But she couldn't help but get curious about the secrets Gorgina is hiding after all it involves Ophelia now.“It doesn't matter” What matters the most is how to save Sister Ophelia right now. Georgina replied avoiding Milana’s eyes.At this rate we might all end up dead if you don't open your mouth, Ophelia is already kidnapped and who might be their next target now?? “We don't know!” That's why we need to catch them before they threaten us. Milana asserted angrily.And that's why am returning home. Only Uncle Rome could understand what I was going to say so please just bear with me and wait till we get back home. Sister Ophelia will surely be found. Georgina explained
Just within a twinkle of an eye they arrived at the airport at once since it was still early they quickly boarded the earliest flight and with that, they quickly checked in and said goodbye to Sicily. Dave was just looking at the whole scenario in confusion. Various thoughts ran through his mind. What he would tell Rome when they got back and How everyone would feel If they knew Ophelia was missing. He prayed it was all a dream and that he could wake up from it Immediately.The duo took a seat beside each other while he was forced to sit at the back far away from them.Georgina turned to Milana and locked their hands with a smile. “Nothing will happen to Sister Ophelia, Okay!” She assured with a smiling face.Milana nodded back in understanding trying to hold up her tears. All she could think of was how to get home and find Ophelia.********************Ophelia and Celine are still running non-stop in the tunnel. They just increased their pace before they could notice they were missi
Ophelia!!! Ophelia!!! Celine yelled as she rushed inside the room Ophelia was in. She was just about to dip a spoonful in her mouth when Celine pushed her and the spoon slipped from her hand and fell. “I thought If I didn't eat this I would be penalized!” Ophelia declared raising her head to look at Celine.Celine was already sweating profusely in fear that Ophelia might die. She is already regretting why she didn't call Rome. Without saying a word broke down in tears and engaged Ophelia in a deep affectionate hug.Ophelia looked at her in amazement she didn't hug her back nor did she ask her the reason she was hugging her. “You could have been dead just now!” Am glad you've not touched the food Celine finally let out still in tears.That's when the whole scenario became understandable to Ophelia turns out the maid already knew the food was poisoned that's why she kept on scaring her.Celine suddenly broke free from the hug and grabbed her hand let’s go she said dragging her up. “To w
No!!! “This can't be true!” How can my father borrow such a heafty sum for Rome’s family with all his details? What the hell did he want in return for him to go to such lengths… I can never believe this gibberish “You must be kidding me!” Celine this can never be real!! Ophelia screamed in tears, tossing the files in her hand away.Yeah! You will never believe that even though there are thousands of clues for you to confirm it's real. The reason why they amputated your father was because he was owning them and they did not pester your family for the money even after his death. “Do you think it's luck!?” Absolutely Not!!. It was because Henry Sinclair settled the bill.Your father was so hell-bent on getting revenge for you and he asked “Orson Sinclair” Rome’s grandfather for help. The Sinclair needed to settle some bills at that time because they were on the verge of breaking down also they couldn't lower their self-esteem to borrow some money from their business partners because of t
Ophelia stirred awake in shock, all her surroundings were dark and she could only see a ray of light because of the moon that was penetrating the room telling her it was night time.She was so confused, she wasn't quite sure maybe it was still the same day or it was another day. She didn't have an idea of how long she had been here.She knocked herself angrily. She regretted trusting Celine once again, She felt so stupid for even thinking for once that Celine could actually change her ways. Her desperate best friend who always tries to be the best no matter the situation.“Am sorry Rome!” I should have listened to you. I shouldn't have trusted that bastard. She whispered in regret. She was lost in her thoughts for a while. Celine was pregnant with Rome's child how shocked would Rome be if he found out? She wondered still crawling to the side on her knees.Finally resting her back on a wall she buried her head in between her legs. “I hope I can just escape this hell” She murmured as un
