Celine was resting peacefully when the alarm rang in her ear but she didn't move an inch.She used the pillow to cover her ears and slept soundly as the alarm kept on ringing not until Lucas entered the room and saw her sleeping.He walked towards her bedside and sat down, he looked at her sleeping face for a while and he smiled.Noticing someone's presence beside her she slowly removed the pillow confirming it was her father she jumped up with fear.“Good morning F..a..th..er,” she said stammering. Fear gripped her as cold sweat dripped from her face.“My Great daughter!!” gave me a hug her father said laughing hysterically.“Am so sorry father!!” Celine said nervously with tears streaming from her face.Lucas smiled faintly, He adjusted himself and sat beside her, he moved his hand closer to her face, cleaning her tears he pulled her into his warm embrace.“Am so proud of you my dear daughter” Logan said patting me on the back.Celine was scared she knew the kind of person her fathe
Ophelia fell on her knees and wept bitterly she cried as if the end was near, Recollecting all the memories they had. “The first day they met” “The first day they kissed” “The first day he apologized to her” and lastly “The first day they made out” All the memories seem true to her but why is it all ending so soon?Even if it is a contract marriage she wishes to continue, Her life with Rome is all that she ever wished for but why is Celine taking it from her again?Ophelia opened the door to her room, she cleaned her face and applied some makeup changing into a new dress she encouraged herself. “Ophelia you can do this” It’s not the first time you have been betrayed, everyone is just the same thing Ophelia said to herself summoning her courage she walked out couragely.The trip was so quiet they neither communicated nor chatted with each other till they finally arrived at the Sinclair mansion.Before entering the house, they could hear the Old man screaming and shouting inside “Where
Logan pushed Sophia onto the bed happily he was going to enjoy his moment with her but Sophia pushed his chest lightly urging him to wait.“I need to tell you something first!” Sophia said looking terrified.“What is it that you want to say!!” Logan asked curiously.“I saw Savvana,” I think she is alive Sophia said with a hint of fear in her tone.“What nonsense are you blabbing out right now!?” Logan questioned angrily.Savanna Is my friend and I knew what she looked like in my sleep Logan please listen to me Sophia said fearfully. “Get out!” Logan said with a cold glare.“Okay!!” Sophia replied looking terrified, she knows the kind of person Logan is. Once he is provoked it’s better to avoid him, telling her to get out is a way of telling her he doesn't want to hurt her.Sophia closed the door behind her and was shocked when she jammed into sister Lana.“Sorry dear” I might have scared you! Sister Lana said apologetically.“It's okay sister Lana!” Am sorry I didn't come to greet yo
One month later……Ophelia left the convenience store with the large grocery bags in her hands she hissed in frustration, she felt bad she still had to depend on Rome even after the divorce she could only survive because of his debit card that was with her, thinking about Rome she can only force a smile.Just when she was about to board a taxi a call from Milna buzzed her phone.“Hey little Milly” she yelled after picking it up. “Hey big sis, I hope you didn't forget what day tomorrow is!?” Milana screamed cheerfully on the phone.“What day is that!?” Ophelia questioned confused.“Like fucking seriously!!” Am graduating tomorrow. Milana yelled at the other end.“Am sorry sissy” I have a bad memory, but I won't be able to come to Milana, Am so sorry I will prepare your gift at home. Ophelia apologized sincerely.“Everything is alright with me big sis!!” I will just hurry home tomorrow I need to meet my handsome brother-in-law. Milana exclaimed happily.“Yes, dear!” He will also be glad
The Next day,Sophia drove straight to the location where Celine told her they should meet yesterday with Logan hiding in the backseat, she parked her car, Alighted walking a few inches she saw Celine who was patiently sitting surrounded by her bodyguards.“Bring a chair for my friend” she commanded and the guards rushed in and brought out a chair for Sophia to sit on. She glared at Celine with a disdainful look and smiled.“Guess you wanted to bribe me to keep your shameful secret right!?” Sophia questioned with a sarcastic smile.“I think shutting your mouth for good will be best” Celine declared raising her eyebrows. And you think “The Cole” will let you live Sophia replied with a smirk.The Cole doesn't like their daughter who has been on a run with a man all these years and I help them to erase her, do you think they won’t be thankful to me for killing a nitwit like you?“You must be so full of yourself” You cunning witch! Sophia yelled at the top of her lungs.Then let me kill
Milana ran out and took a taxi back to her hostel in tears.“Milana!!” wait up, please stop! Sieena called out but she never heeded.Milana got to the hostel and stumbled into her room, she clutched the bed sheet closer and covered her face with it while crying profusely she couldn't believe her sister had been in a fake marriage all these years just for her to graduate from her dream university.“Noo!” No!! This must be a dream!” This has to be a one. Milana shrieked in tears, hitting the bed with frustration. “Milana please stop!” The deed has been done already please find a place in your heart to forgive your sister and apologize to her sincerely. Sienna comforted hugging her dearly.“Am such a loser Sienna!” All my life she has been the one taking care of me, even the whole family depends on her. Am so damn useless. Milana declared still crying profusely.“It's nothing Milana!” She just felt like a big sister and wanted to take responsibility. You know she is your only parent yo
Sophia shifted restlessly in her sleep, her slender body intertwined in the bedsheets. Her brow furrowed, Her lips parted slightly, She was finding it uncomfortable to sleep whenever she closed her eyes all she could hear was Ophelia's voice “Just go there and face your fears” came the voice again ringing in her ears.Sophia stood up abruptly “What the fuck!” she yelled angrily. She entered the bathroom stripped naked and put on the shower letting the water spray on her body freely.Coming out of the bathroom, her soft black hair gurgling wet, she adjusted her towel with a frown still on her face, sitting by the bedside she was lost in her thoughts.“She is just a woman! why is she so difficult to confront!?” If am her grandson's wife why can't just go to her bravely and let her recognize me, rather than running helter-skelter like a fool? I must go without Logan's consent, and that's the only way to make me feel at peace she affirmed standing up and walking towards her wardrobe.She
“Where is Sophia!” Logan yelled at the top of his voice. Bianca looked at him without saying a word.Outside, A car screeched to a halt, revealing an angry figure it was Jude Piers Logan's father. He slammed the door shut, fury etched on his face. Bursting into the house, his voice boomed, “Logan! What were you thinking?”.“Father!!” Logan called out, Grandmother trapped that innocent girl in this house Logan explained Ignoring his father’s laments.Jude walked closer to him and slapped him hard across the face. “So you are telling me you came back here mainly because your girl was trapped here”. “Father!!” But….Logan wanted to explain more when his mother gave him another slap angrily, “apologize at once” She commanded.“Am not saying a word without confirming Sophia was okay!” Logan stated angrily.“You sure have grown up my grandson” Bianca mocked. She stood up on her feet and walked closer to Logan. She leaned closer to his ears and whispered “Then let’s go back to your younger
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
