Ophelia"It's not my fault that you're a cursed child..." Those words echoed in my ear more than once.That was the biggest lie that he had said today."Don't think you can victimize me into believing that I did this to myself dad because I know that I didn't!" I yelled, unable to keep the calm anymore."You offended the sun goddess, who in turn laid a curse on you! You caused my mom to die! You're the architect of my pain, yet you try to blame it on me?" I arched my brows.I didn't care if I was going to be slapped again. I just couldn't let him blame me for nothing. If he wanted to make it 4 times, I didn't have a problem with it, as long as he hears what I sat clearly."Are you shocked, Dad? You've been lying to yourself all this while, thinking that I don't know that you're the cursed one. You caused me to be rejected everywhere; you made it possible that no one likes me, and it's better you know that your wife, the one you claim my cursed nature made barren, is barren because of

OpheliaAs each word escaped his lips, he smirked at me.Sitting beside him, I could tell that he was very manipulative, and there was no way I was going to concur with falling for a manipulative person."I don't like you, Cassuis. I don't think there's anything you're going to do that'll make me like you, so if you're taking down notes, you must have noted that I don't like you.He placed his hand on his chest, pretending like he was heartbroken.Sadly, I was happy seeing him act like that, but what hurt me was the fact that he was pretending."I know you don't know me... But... That doesn't mean that you won't... Time will have to tell at the end of the day, and if I'm right, then that's exactly what matters." This was one of the longest I've heard him talk."I know for sure that you didn't like Alric when you first saw him, but now there's something in you for him."“Besides, I don’t need you to love me; I just need you to be open-minded with me, and you might actually be envied by

OpheliaI knew that if I gave my dad the letter, he wasn't going to give it back to me, and was I ready to risk not knowing the content of the letter? No."Dad. I couldn't even read the letter. The second I opened it to know its content, it flew right before my eyes, and I couldn't catch it," I lied.I knew that Cassius might secretly be judging me, but I didn't want to think too much about it. As long as I could secretly stall my father a little and read the letter before throwing it into the garden for him to find, I'd be satisfied.Before my dad could say another word, Cassius intervened, "You should better go out into the garden to find it before someone does. I'm going to walk her to her room and join you if the letter is that important," Cassuis chipped in.Heaven knows that if Cassius hadn't intervened, then there would be totally no way my father would have let me be until I gave him that letter.If I was telling the truth about misplacing it, he would have dragged me into the

Opehlia."Why would you think that I want something from you all of a sudden?" She asked, wanting to use that same line for me.I didn't want to fall for her trap today; she wanted to make me think that I was mad again.I bit my lips and sat up gently, swallowing hard. I smiled to her and murmured,"I see what you're trying to do but if you're not here to say anything, then I think it's best you just leave because if it's not obvious already, then I might have to repeat myself.""I don't like you at all and I don't want you around me.""And I hope you know the feeling is mutual, baby girl," she smirked.I expected her to get to her feet at this point and walk out of the room, but she didn't. Instead, she walked towards the vanity and picked her wipe up."You think you're smart sometimes, but minute that passes on proves to me that you're the same girl that left this place and maybe you came back even dumber because now, you have the audacity to talk back out me." She said,I bit my li

OpheliaOn our way to the library, we had to walk past the kitchen so that we could return the plate.After Beth did that, we went straight to the library, and she was right; the door of it wasn't closed, and there were a lot of new books in it.I immediately wondered why I didn't think of it sooner.We spent a few minutes in the room; I picked up a few books. I read some that were purely romance."I didn't know you were this smart," I murmured. I couldn't recall if I've said it to her earlier but it crossed my mind againSince I got to this mansion. This was the first moment I had in peace.My face was no longer hurting like before, but out of curiosity, I asked, "Do you know what you had in that wipe? It was hot that I thought I was going to die or my face would be disfigured, ma'am.""I have no idea, ma'am, but the trip looks familiar; if you wish, I can discreetly ask and see if anyone knows it," she said.I responded with a nod before picking up a book. I went through the book fo
