~Ophelia's POV~Demetrius dropped me off after work as usual but not after making sure his bodyguards checked my surroundings."It is safe, sir." The body guards said and he looked at me."Should I send a car over or do you still know the way?" He asked and I contemplated for some seconds."Send a car over." I said and he nodded his head. He got into the car and drove off.I went into the building and walked straight to my apartment. Kelly was home and I could be at peace."Welcome." She said which surprised me. my eyebrows creased in confusion and stared at her.She rolled her eyes and got off the bed."I see that you are in a good mood tonight. Tell me I really want to know about your relationship with your boss." She said and I scoffed."There is nothing going on between him and I. Just the boss to the Secretary relationship. Nothing at all." I said with a shrug and I scoffed."You are lying to me, huh?" She asked and I turned towards her."Shouldn't I be the one to ask you that qu
~Ophelia's POV~The car drove into the Demetrius' mansion parking lounge and I stepped out of the car.I walked towards the entrance of the house and pushed the door. What is the need to knock when they know I was coming anyways?I entered and saw no one was in the large living room, then suddenly I heard giggling and chuckling as steps became louder. Demetrius was carrying Maureen and he seemed to be saying something into her ears and she was giggling.They soon saw me standing there and I felt left out."Oh, Ophelia, you are here." Maureen said as she impatiently got down from Demetrius hand and ran over to me. I prepared to hug and she pulled me in tightly."How are you?" I asked her."I am fine and you?" She asked."I'm good." I replied."I guess you must be wondering why I asked my brother to tell you to come visit me. Well, it is because I like having someone who is just as old as Dimitri to be my friend. Ever since Emery stopped visiting or calling me, I have been so lonely." S
*Two days Later*~Ophelia's POV~We stood at the airport with our luggage close to us. I wonder why Demetrius is not letting us use his private jet rather we are using a commercial aeroplane. The plane was taking off in a few minutes and Demetrius was busy typing away on his phone.I tapped my foot continuously on the floor and he faced me with an arched eyebrow. "What is wrong?" He asked."When are we going to the plane?" I asked and he looked at me like I had grown two heads."My private jet is to arrive, dummy." He replied and looked back at his phone. Oh, we are even using his private jet. That is nice.I don't think I can stand being in the aeroplane.His phone rang and he picked it."Is it ready?" He asked and then he nodded his head."Let us move." He said and I dragged our luggage along with me.We got to his white private jet and got in. We took a seat respectively and I looked outside. I used my seat belt...**As we got down from the jet, a black limousine was already awai
~Ophelia's POV~We were soon done with our breakfast and we headed towards the car. The driver pushed the door open for us and we stepped in. I looked outside through the window, watching people as they moved around. Goosebumps prickled my skin and my eyebrows scrunched up together. Why do I feel like someone is watching me? Someone was watching me.I looked outside through the window again and did not see anyone unusual. "Are you okay?" Demetrius asked and I faced him with worry etched on my face."I feel like I am being followed," I said as he sighed before holding me by my hands."You don't need to be scared. I am here with you." He said and picked up his phone. He dialed some numbers and a voice came through."Eliminate all threats." He said firmly and disconnected the call. My mouth hung open at the voice he used."Are you ready?" The driver asked and I nodded my head. I guess he could see me through the mirror. He ignited the car's engine and zoomed off. I was beginning to rel
~Ophelia's POV~So Demetrius has been inside the place for fifteen hours now and I have been unable to see him or meet him. Even the doctor. After signing that file, he was treated immediately. Thank goodness it was just the arm. It should be nothing major.Gosh, I am so worried right now. Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered the sight from earlier on. Why is this happening to me for goodness' sake?I rested my head against the chair. The door creaked open and I jerked up instantly. "Doctor... Tell me... How is he?... Tell me..." I stuttered as I tried taking a peep into the room. He exhaled and held me by my shoulders."Calm down, Miss." He said and my chest heaved up and down. But my heart was not calm, it kept beating."He is fine now. He is out of the danger zone at least." He said and I released a deep, relief breath."So what will happen now?" I asked."Just give him some time. He was given some anaesthetic. So he will rest." He said and I nodded my head."Thank you, docto
~Demetrius' POV~She cried for me. Naughty girl.I watched her as she exited the room and sighed. I cast a glance at my arm and hissed out. Who the actual hell shot me like that?And also why was Ryan here? He could not be here so quickly considering the distance. I need to rest. The door soon opened and the doctor walked in alongside Ophelia."Mr. Valecian, you are awake already. How do you feel?" He asked me and I relaxed against the pillow and started replying to his questions. At least the ones I have the answer to."Okay, we will check other things and let you know when he will be discharged. But for now, he won't be able to use his arms so for now, as his girlfriend..." He was still saying when my head registered the word he said.Girlfriend?Who is my girlfriend?Wait, he was talking to Ophelia... I looked at me and she smiled at me nervously."I might have said that so you would be attended to quickly." She said and I understood. It is not something bad anyways if she introdu
~Ophelia's POV~His breath fanned my face as I looked into deep blue eyes. Emotions flowed as I blinked my eyes with a gulp. The connection was so broken as he groaned out since I pressed further into his arms. I realized it soon and hurriedly scrambled up. "Hmm, sorry. It was my belt." I said and pulled it out. He looked at me for a few seconds before turning to lie on his side."Good night. Sweet dreams." I said and exited his room.I looked through my phone and saw fifteen missed calls from Kelly and twenty missed calls from my mother. That is strange. Kelly has not called even after I got here.I dialed my mother's number first and she picked it up immediately."Ophelia?" She asked like she was not sure she was talking to me."Hi, mum." I greeted with less enthusiasm."Oh my goodness, Ophelia. You almost gave me an attack." She said and I frowned my face."What do you mean by that?" I asked her."Didn't you see the news?" She asked and I furrowed my eyebrows further."See what?" I
~Demetruis' POV~I looked at my personal bodyguard and he nodded at me. Ophelia stood up and drank water before we all headed to the back of the hotel. He passed two dark shades to us and we wore them. He opened the door and we stepped in. Ophelia looked around again and I placed my hand on her back while I patted her. Looking at me, she smiled as she looked at the arm that was bandaged. I smiled and shook my head, clearly saying it was nothing. She relaxed and we looked ahead of us. He ignited the car's engine and soon started driving."What is the situation?" I asked him."The people that shot you... From what I saw, I don't think they wanted to kill you." He said and I sat up rightly."I think it was some sort of warning." He said and my eyes narrowed."Warning about what?" I asked."Miss Ophelia." He said and Ophelia and I shared a look of shock and confusion."Why would you say that?" I asked him and he looked at me in the eye through the front mirror."Come to think of it, Her
