"How you doing, son?" When he saw his father and Mason standing outside the hotel suite door, Onyx's eyes widened. Gerbert was beaming at him with a bright grin, while Mason stood beside him with a warm smile. Onyx was about to say something when he felt Ophelia's body against his back and looked down at her as she peered over his shoulder."Dad!" Onyx smiled, her face glowing brighter than ever before as her gaze fell on her father. He took a step back as Ophelia wrapped her arms around her father. Mason smiled and held her tight."I missed you, little dove." Mason muttered, and Ophelia responded muffledly, "I missed you too!" Ophelia stepped back and turned to face Gerbert, who was smiling at them."It's great to see you again, Mr Reighs." Gerbert returned her smile as she greeted him."Same here, sweetheart.""Let's go inside," Ophelia said as she turned to face Onyx, who was looking down at her with a loving smile. She smiled back and they walked inside the suite."I didn't know y

Wrapped around in a fuzzy robe, with damp hair falling over her shoulder, Ophelia stared at the gown hanging on her closet in horror. She was beyond petrified of what she was seeing. The simple emerald silk dress she had chosen was nowhere to be seen. Instead, she saw an emerald off-shoulder gown with a deep neckline, the gorgeous evening gown revealed dramatic feather trimmed sleeves. The tonal jacquard gown was made to flatter her figure as the skirt fell down in trumpet silhouette and ended with a sweep train. The gown was gorgeous but what terrified her was the slit on the right side of the dress.She kept staring but the dress didn't disappear. She gulped down and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already six and Onyx is supposed to pick her up in two hours. "What am I going to do!" She panicked pacing around the room occasionally glancing at the dress. She stopped and ran her finger over the delicate fabric of the dress. Her fingers ran over the trim of the slit and her

Under the light that dimmed out any interest for anything else other than the male in front of her, she felt herself getting drawn closer. His grip tightened at the same time hers did and slowly her anger was dwindling. She couldn't seem to break free from the trance even if she wanted to. The pleasure from being held by him chained her to his will. His warm body holding her close to him prevented her from even considering escape. "I missed you, meng klenge Fuuss."(My little Vixen.)He whispered softly. They turn, her feet keeping up with his. A shudder ran down her spine when his warm hand scraped along the exposed part of her back. His warm fingers skim down the curve of her spine. She bit the inner part of her lip, forcing her face to hold an expression of indifference but her voice betrayed her as her response came out as a soft whisper. "I didn't miss you!" She muttered, feeling his minty breath fanning over her lips. He pulled back slightly to look her in the eyes. His brown

Disgust, hatred, rage, and anguish. The moment his fingers touched the jagged scar, pure pain seeped through her body. The pain and hatred she had been holding inside, as well as the scar of all the suffering she had been hiding for years, came to the fore. Ophelia could not look up to meet his gaze as she drew her legs closer to her chest, hugging herself to conceal what was not meant to be seen. Onyx's warm arms encircled her as she felt the bed dip beside her. He drew her close, her head resting on his chest, and he draped a duvet over her naked body as she clung to him for dear life.Her body quivered as tears streamed down her face as memories of the years of suffering rushed through her mind. She couldn't feel anything but the agony of the past and his soothing touch. His hand ran reassuringly down her back as he whispered sweet nothings into her ear. Her sobs turned into hiccups and she felt him suck in a deep breath."Who did this to you?" He asked and her fingers clutched the

"He found me in the rehabilitation centre. He took me in as his child." Onyx's mouth dropped slightly open, and he stared at her for a moment. All the images of Ophelia and Mason played through his mind and not for a moment did he think they weren't biologically related. Even so, you don't have to be biologically related to share something as beautiful as a father-daughter bond."I went through so much pain both mental and physical throughout those early years of my life. I couldn't walk for months and couldn't sleep for nights on end. The nightmares of the crash kept me awake. I even had difficulty remembering things for a short period of time. My head injury had resulted in a severe migraine. I don't think I would have survived if Dad hadn't been there to support me.Ophelia smiled and went on. "You know, Onyx, before Dad came into my life, I never imagined I'd be able to feel or understand what love is. I never expected to be cared for. He appeared in my life like an angel sent fro
