Chapter 25
Ophelia
The following two weeks flew by. We took the boat out into the bay and played in the water. My friends and I went shopping around town. We laid out by the beach and at night we would either hit up a nightclub or go out to dinner. We were all looking forward to the Charity Gala at the end of the trip. Each year our family donates a large amount of money to the Gala which benefits several charity groups. I had been wanting to go with one of the groups when they went to Europe, unfortunately, I missed out on the opportunity.
Damian and I had also been spending more time together. We went on several dates, just him and I. We also went on a few double dates with Noah and Sam. I was still having a hard time believing that those two were dating. Neither had been one for relationships. I loved Noah and Sam and always thought they would make such a cute couple.
One night, we had all decided to stay in and chill out arou

Damian After I made Ophelia go back upstairs, I walked over to the guy the guards had caught. Oliver had already done a number on him, but he was still breathing. "Who the fuck sent you?" I asked him. He didn't answer and Oliver hit him again. "Answer the fucking question." he yelled. “Viktor sent us. He wants Ophelia." "Are you fucking serious?" I asked, as I squatted down in front of him. "Yes. We were told only her, and her bodyguard would be here with a few friends. It was supposed to be an easy snatch and grab." "You were never going to walk out of here with her. I don't care if it was just me. I would never let you take her." "That's why we shot you first." the guy said. "Wow. Okay. There is no way in hell that I’m letting that Russian motherfucker take her. Not while I’m fucking breathing.” I held my hand out and No

Ophelia When Damian left the room, I started packing jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, leggings, sweaters, and anything else that I could find that might be normal clothes. My heart was racing, I could not believe what was happening. This was too much. A little while later Ben brought me back my phone. "Okay. So, you will still be able to use it, but no one will be able to track it. I did go ahead and delete all social media, so right now, you don't exist on social media.” "Well damn. Okay. Thank you, Ben." "Yes ma'am," He grabbed me and gave me a big hug, "Stay safe Ophelia. I will do everything I can to get you back home quickly. Just hang in there," he said, as he started to tear up. "Don't cry or I will lose it. I'm hanging on by a thread, don't make me cry," I said, but I could feel the tears swelling up in my eyes. He sniffed and laughed, "Okay. I won't cry. I'll s

Ophelia We ended up driving eleven hours the first day and stopped in a small town somewhere in Ohio. There was a little motel off the road that we stopped at. Damian got out and went in to talk to them. Apparently, they still accept cash because he came back with keys to a room. We pulled around to the room and got out. We were both glad to see it was at least half ass clean. We put our bags in the room, then walked across the street to the little diner. It was adorable, and you could tell they were proud of their state. There was Ohio stuff all over the place. We took a seat in a booth and looked over the menu. "How are you all doing today?” the waitress said. "We're good thanks,"I said. "My name is Tammy; I will be your waitress. What can I get you to drink?" "I'll have water with lemon please." I said. "I

Ophelia The next morning, I woke up to find that Damian was already up cooking breakfast. It smelled amazing. I got out of the back of the truck and walked over to him. He was sitting at the picnic table looking at the map. I walked up and wrapped my arms around him. "Good morning," I said, as I kissed him on the cheek. “Good morning baby girl. How did you sleep?" "I slept well actually. The air mattress is pretty comfy." "Yeah, it's not too bad." "So, what's our next stop?" "Well, we're going to go across Tennessee over to Arkansas. We'll probably stay the night in Arkansas and finish the drive tomorrow. I want to arrive after my cousins have left for school. I know my aunt and uncle are going to have questions. I figured it would be better to explain this without worrying about the kids hearing." "That's fine. Will I have to use

Ophelia As we drove through the small town in Texas, my heart started racing. I was so nervous about meeting his family, but I was even more nervous about what they would say if we told them the real reason we were here. Damian pulled off the main highway and onto a gravel road.Both sides of the driveway were lined with wooden fences. On one side there were horses and on the other side there were cows. "Damian." "Yeah?" "Can we maybe not tell your family why we're really here," I asked timidly. He pressed the brake and brought the truck to a stop, put it in park and looked at me, "Why?" "I really don't want to tell them right now. I mean, I want them to know me first before finding out why we are here or who I am. I mean, what if they get pissed off that we came down here?" "They won't get pissed off. If you don't want to tell them, that's fine. I'll

Damian I grabbed a few of the handguns out of the bag and walked out of the closet back into the major section of the cabin. I placed a gun in the drawers in the kitchen, one on either side of the counter, and placed another one in the drawer on the island. I walked into the living room and placed a gun in the drawer on the coffee table then went into the laundry room and placed a gun in the cabinet above the washing machine. It might be overkill, but you can never be too safe. I walked out of the laundry room and went over to the couch, kicked off my boots, pulled my gun from behind my back, and set it on the coffee table. I laid down on the couch. I felt exhausted even though we had stopped a few times along the way down here. I slept very little last night. Once Ophelia put away clothes, she came out into the living room and sat down in the recliner. I looked over at her and motioned for her to come here. She got up f

OpheliaThe next morning Damian’s alarm on his phone went off at 5:00 am. He got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, took a shower, brushed his teeth, then got dressed. I sat up in bed, resting my head on the headboard, and turned the TV on. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped when I saw Damian walk out of the bathroom wearing his jeans, a gray t-shirt, his boots, and a black cowboy hat.I had never seen him in a cowboy hat before. Damn, he looked good. He saw me staring, and a smirk came across his face, “See something you like?”I bit my bottom lip and nodded my head. He walked over to the side of the bed and hovered over me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer, placing my lips on his. He pulled back and kissed the tip of my nose, “I’ll see you tonight baby girl.”“Do you have to go?” I pouted.He placed another kiss on my forehea

DamianI hated to leave Ophelia alone, but Itold Joe that I would help him around the ranch and that’s what I was going to do. Joe was already up and waiting when I got to the main house. I grabbed a cup of coffee and we sat out on the back porch talking about what he wanted to do today. We were going to be moving the cows from one pasture to another, giving the horse fresh hay, and cleaning out the barn. We were going to be running the fence and checking for any spots that needed to be fixed. We were also going to work on getting a site ready for the next barn he was going to build.A couple of the ranch hands showed up, and we went to the barn to get the horses saddled. I was so excited to see Browning. Joe had been taking good care of him, he looked healthy and happy. I put his bridle on, walked him out of the stall and tied him up. I ran a brush over him and checked for any sores then grabbed the saddle pad
