Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex! Stand-In For Julius
OPHELIAAs I stepped out fully from the car, the gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd. My mother-in-law wasn’t the only one wearing that expression. The cameras clicked faster, the flashes exploding dangerously in such a way that I could barely see the spot ahead of me.Ronan’s men controlled the paparazzi. They kept them at arm's length to make sure they didn’t reach us. “Mr Throne, has your relationship with your family changed?”“Are you attending the party with your husband’s enemy, Mrs Whitmore?” Their questions echoed around us as Ronan extended his arm, which I wrapped my hand around. Together, we stepped through the marble steps leading to the entrance. “Have you completely lost your mind, Opehlia Whitmore?” She bit out through her teeth as we got to the entrance, an obvious practiced smile plastered on her lips. As usual, she ignored Ronan and continued. “Julius would be even more furious with this.”We didn’t stop. Ronan didn’t even spare her a glance and neither

OPHELIAI was no longer going to pretend my marriage hadn’t ended. Every single time I logged into my internet account, news feeds of Julius and Julius always popped up. If they weren’t calling him the husband of the year, they were calling us the forever couple.Today, my arrival with Ronan at the birthday party would make it clear and break the illusion of a perfect marriage that Julius was trying to keep. Staring at the strings of messages on my phone, I let out a breath.Julius: It’s grandmother’s birthday. Everyone is expecting us. Don’t be absent.Julius: I’ve let you have enough fun with your boyfriend. It’s enough. We’re still married. Don’t embarrass us with your absence.Another one.Julius: Mother has forgiven you for that day. Make sure not to cause a scene today.

Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex! And If I Want You To Bother Me?
OPHELIA Julius barely finished his words before a large hand seized him by the neck. Ronan’s men surrounded him. Knowing how Julius was, I’d asked them to come in if I delayed more than ten minutes. A punch landed on his face, the sounds of his bones cracking filling my ears. “Leave my son.” Another punch was delivered to his face and the three men held him down to his knees. Breath quickening, and with bloodied lips, he stared at me with a blazing expression. “My lawyer will contact you soon. If you don’t sign the papers, this is only just the beginning of what you’ll receive.” Casting his mother one last look, I grabbed my bag. ****** “Welcome back, Mrs Whitmore.” The employees at my father’s company were gathered around the lobby of the company when I got there. I stopped before them and assessed, noticing a lot of unfamiliar faces. “Thank you all.” I acknowledged. Their attention shifted to beside me and I knew they were wondering who the little girl beside me was. A
Once His Pawn, Now His Brother’s Obsession— Too Late, Ex! Who Are You Cheating With?
OPHELIAThe next day, just as I’d planned, I arrived at the penthouse. Even though Ronan had said he would handle everything, I’d gone regardless. Standing outside the house that used to be my home, I lifted my fingers to punch in the password of the door.16112000.He hadn’t changed it yet. My birthdate. My stomach churned. Didn’t we stop pretending? It was high time he dropped everything all all the pretense that came with him.As I stepped into the house, I realised that it was only the password of the door that hadn’t changed. Everything else had.The smell of my home— my former home, the air, the green doormat that used to be my favorite, even our umbrella stand was gone. Good.When my eyes fell on the woman who sat on the unfamiliar couch, I couldn’t help but grunt.Kate Whitmore. My soon-to-be ex-mother-in-law. She wheezed as her eyes landed on me. They almost popped out of their sockets and I watched the horror in them as they trailed from my white blazer top which had a f

OPHELIA“Let her.”All eyes snapped toward Ronan when he appeared from behind. The servants instantly moved to the side as he sauntered over to us still dressed in the black shirt and pants from the morning.“Do you really make cars, bad Uncle?”“Alia.” I scolded.Ronan crossed his fingers behind his back and glanced at the portraits. “I do, why?”“So cool,” she muttered so low but loud enough for everyone to hear. Alia’s lips pouted and she glared at her uncle as if she was mad that she found what he did cool.“You seem to be interested in my paintings and cars, Miss Princess.”She stood on her tiptoes again and ran her hand over the painting. “Did you paint all of these?” He shrugged. Again, Alia’s mouth fell open. I had the same expression.I knew that Ronan Throne designed most of his cars himself and was involved in every process in making them. What I never imagined was the man having hobbies like painting or drawing.She moved to my side and stayed behind my leg, peering at hi

OPHELIA“Welcome Mr Throne, Miss Ophelia, Miss Alia.”By the time we arrived at Ronan’s home, the housekeepers were already situated by the entrance of the house. Ronan lowered the child to the floor and the moment her eyes fell on the three housekeepers, she quickly hid behind my legs.I led her forward and we stepped into the house. “Thank you.” Turning to Alia, I made her stand beside me but she struggled and ran behind me again. “She’s a little bit shy around strangers.” We’d need to work on that. “Alia, this is Edith, the head housekeeper, Naomi, and Lydia.” I rubbed her head. “They’re just like Nana back at home.”At the mention of her favorite housekeeper back at Julius’s penthouse, she peeked out of my legs.“Say hi to them.”Reluctantly, she uttered. “Hi. I’m Alia.” I patted her head as encouragementsAfter she spoke, the housekeepers swooned and waved at her. “How adorable. Is she your child, Miss Ophelia,” Edith asked.“Yes, she is.”“Enough questions,” Ronan butted in. “

OPHELIA“Someone call the psychiatrist. I think she’s crazy.”She banged the door shut. Afterward, she placed her hands on her chubby waist and her stormy eyes pierced me. “Call the psychiatrist,” she repeated.“I’m not crazy.”“The psychiatrist will determine that.” Pulling a pen out of her black

OPHELIA “ALIA!” My legs refused to move. For one devastating heartbeat, they remained stuck on the spot, my wide eyes staring at the child at the bottom of the stairs. I waited to wake up from a nightmare, convinced my eyes were playing their tricks. When my legs finally decided to move, I flew d

OPHELIA“My baby.”The cry of a newborn echoed around me. I screamed as a nurse carried the baby away. “No, don’t take her away. That’s my daughter.”Even though I wanted them to, my legs just wouldn’t move. My hands extended and my screams increased as they moved further and further away, until s

RONAN It wouldn’t stop. My home office felt more like a freezer than a workspace. The air conditioner hummed at its highest setting, yet It just wouldn’t stop. I tilted my head to one side, then the other, trying to ignore the irritation creeping along the back of my neck… my entire back. The i
