OPHELIA COLE I stirred awake with a headache so sharp it made me moan softly. My hand moved instinctively across the bed, searching for something…someone…Damien.But the space beside me was empty.The realization snapped my eyes open instantly, my breath catching in my throat. I pushed myself upright, my heart racing as I scanned the room, half-expecting to find him there if I looked hard enough.He wasn’t.My room stared back at me, quiet, familiar, untouched.It had just been a dream.The truth hit hard, sinking into my chest with a dull, aching weight. I could have sworn it was real,the closeness, the warmth, the way it had felt so natural… so right in the moment.I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, as if that could undo the realization.What was wrong with me?Everything felt like it was slipping out of place, like the ground beneath my feet had shifted without warning. And now… now I was dreaming about being intimate with my brother-in-law?The thought made my stomach twist.For

OPHELIA COLE “Here you go,” I said softly, handing the glass of water to Mrs. Caroline. She took it with both hands, smiling at me like I’d handed her something far more valuable than medication. “I’m so sorry I worried you. How do you feel now?”“Oh, Lia,” she laughed lightly, taking a sip. “You worry too much. I’m alright.”I smiled, taking the glass from her once she was done and placing it carefully on the side table. I’d spent the whole morning with her...talking, laughing, listening to stories I’d heard a dozen times but never grew tired of. Seeing her like this again, brighter, more present, felt like breathing after being underwater for too long.She still needed her medication. Still needed rest. But her recovery had been faster since Luca returned, and I couldn’t deny the relief that brought me.She studied me then, really looked at me, and something in her expression shifted.“You know, Ophelia,” she said slowly, “you are a very good girl.”I shrugged slightly, uncomf

OPHELIA COLE The car rolled into my mother’s compound and came to a stop. I stepped out, shutting the door behind me, already feeling the familiar calm settle in. I’d been here barely two weeks ago, yet the house still had that way of slowing me down the moment I crossed into it.“Ophelia.”I looked up to see my mum at the doorway, arms folded loosely as she smiled.“Mum.”She walked over and hugged me, brief but warm.“You didn’t say you were coming this early,” she said.“I decided last minute.”She pulled back to look at me. “You look tired.”“I am,” I admitted.Before she could say more, Miriam appeared from inside, wiping her hands on her apron.“Ah, madam is here again,” she said with a grin. “Welcome, my dear.”“Miriam,” I greeted, smiling.She looked me over like she always did. “You’re working too hard. I’ll bring you something to eat.”“I just ate on the road.”She waved that off. “Food in the car doesn’t count.”My mum laughed as Miriam disappeared back inside.“You ca

OPHELIA COLE For the next few days, I let everything revolve around my own little world. Just myself and my apartment. I shut Luca out completely. His memories, both the good and the bad... It's like I buried those memories away. I had no reason to keep looking back and thinking about him. Not when he almost became a real thorn in my flesh. A day after I left the Dawson's Mansion, he sent a threatening text message. "Return back to me, Ophelia. If you still want the legacy your father built to be saved. Don't make a big mistake by calling off the engagement" Surprisingly, I didn't feel threatened reading the text from him. It felt empty, coming from someone who has made no contributions to the Dawson's company. Thinking about it now, there is nothing he could offer personally. If only he knew that a lot of things has changed. I'm no longer intimidated or moved by his silly threats anymore. Turning off the shower, I wrapped myself with a towel and stepped out of the bathroom.

OPHELIA COLEI had a safe flight landing and the smoothest ride to the resort. Yeah, it was so nice because I had enough time to relax and the landscape was just so beautiful that I couldn't resist staring out the window.Malcolm had recommended this resort, saying it will be nice and easier for me to navigate through meetings and all other stuff."Welcome to BJ Resort"A petite lady with blond hair smiled warmly at me."Thank you. I'd like to lodge" I returned the smile."Are you here for business or vacation?" She asked, tapping on her keyboard, eyes fixed on her laptop screen."For business""And how many days would you like to lodge?""3 days Max."She punched on her keyboard for the next 2mins. When she was done, she handed me a key alongside a small gift bag."BJ. Resort will like to warmly welcome you. Please enjoy your stay here
