chapter 10

ariana's pov:

I'm scared. And worried.

Four days had passed and Ophelia has been distant and different which was weird. Usually, she's always so happy and energetic around us and I have no idea why she was like this. I mean after posting her social media break, I've been realizing what was going on but I was still getting there. Earlier, she texted at 2 in the morning saying 'Tell Ana I miss her' which obviously was really weird but I have shown that to Mia and she realized it now.

"I don't understand, Aria. She's never like this," sighing, Mia sits on the stool as she pops in the grape in her mouth. I nodded and bit my lip as I took a sip from the water.

Unless, it has something to do with her ex. She would always have panic attacks whenever we all talk about him or especially she seeing him. Before, she was visiting Jimmy so I think she saw him somewhere which she probably send that text. Oh my god!

I gasp, "Mia! Lia probably saw Andrei somewhere and was with Jimmy that night so I'm guessing that's why she send that text." I hissed and Mia frowns. She opens her mouth but I interrupted, "Even with the pictures of her crying."

I pointed at her and nodded as I finally understood but Mia squinted her eyes. "What? What are you talking about?"

I rolled my eyes, "Remember when I showed you the text 'Tell Ana I miss her'?" I quoted and Mia nods. "She was crying because she saw Andrei! So, that's why she send that text."

I crossed my arms and Mia gasp as she covered her mouth. I formed my lip into a thin form as I nodded.

"Oh my god."

"I know,"

"And the social media break too?"

I nodded and Mia widened her eyes a bit. "That's why!"

I cant believe this. Why wouldn't Ophelia tell us?

"I'm guessing she didn't want him to find her." Mia crosses her arms and I tucked in my hair behind my ear.

"He probably already found her. She's famous. Anyone could find her," I said and Mia nodded.

"Why wouldn't Lia tell us?" she shook her head and I shrugged.

"Because I was scared." A voice was heard and I looked over where the voice was to. I swallowed hard and gave Ophelia a small smile as she walked closer to us.

"I was scared, I was scared that he was going find me. Damn, I have a daughter that I kept from him. It's difficult that I kept her away from the paparazzis and I don't want that because I was terrified that they were going to find her and steal her away from me."

Mia and I nodded as we gave her a hug. I felt a tear leak out on my shoulder and Mia rubbed her back as she sobs. I whispered, "It's ok, Lia."

She sniffled and pulled away as she wiped off the tears. "Thanks, guys."

I smiled and kindly gave her waffles. She jerked up and grins as she quickly took the plate from my hand. I chuckled and Mia kissed her cheek.

I don't know what I would do without them.

ophelia's pov:

I felt my phone buzz from my pocket and I grabbed it out. I frowned as it was unknown. I ignored it and placed back the phone as I walked with Anastasia.

As few hours has passed, I breathed and sat on the bench. I gave Ana a treat and kissed her forehead as she bury in my shoulder. I took out my phone and scroll down on my way to call Mia. I chuckled and caressed Ana's hat as she placed her soft hand on my cheek. I pressed the screen and placed on my phone to my ear but halted when I saw someone familiar and I didn't very much like it.

"Ophelia?"

I widened my eyes as my breathing was hitching quickly. I stood up and grabbed Ana in my arms as I tried to walk away. "Please talk to me, Lia. I'm sorry."

I sighed and turned around, seeing him in hurt. I softened and clutched Ana in my arms tightly. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I flared my nose, swallowing hard. "Who is he, mommy?"

I placed down Ana and grabbed her hand for safety. Andrei widened his eyes and pointed at her.

"Is she mine?" he asked suddenly and I clutched my eyes close tight. "Ophelia?"

I reopened my eyes and looked down at Ana as she looked between Andrei and I. They looked so much alike. It was starting to freak me out. I bit my lip and nodded as I whispered for everyone to hear, "Yes."

Andrei widened his eyes and opened his mouth. A tear leaked out. "I'm sorry-y. I-I have to go." I stuttered and took Ana with me as we walked away from him.

"Ophelia! Please don't go."

I closed my eyes shut as I felt the urge for the tears to spill again. I reopened my eyes and walked to my car. I placed inside Anastasia. "Is he my daddy?" She asked and I started the car, ignoring her question. I looked over to Andrei and he pleaded, the sadness in his eyes. A tear leaked out more and I gave him a smile before going away.

Yes he is, Ana. And it hurts.
