Chapter: Chapter 9That night, after Amelia's encounter with Harrison at the mall, she arrived back at the imposing Davidson family estate as dusk settled over the manicured grounds. Inside, the cavernous mansion was silent, only her footsteps echoing on the polished marble floors. She was relieved to find her family absent from the halls and sitting rooms, wanting solitude after the emotional rollercoaster of the last few days.Once in her suite, Amelia changed into a comfortable silk nightgown and sat at the antique vanity to brush out her long hair. She still felt unsettled from the odd sense of being watched at the mall earlier.

Chapter: Chapter 8Opening up more, she described her family's callousness. "Everything changed so quickly - Alexander's betrayal, Isabella taking over as heir. My parents used to dote on me, or so I believed.""Now they treat me as an inconvenience." Harrison shook his head. "I don't understand how they could be so cold. You clearly have a brilliant mind for business.""Their loss will be my gain." He smiled at her. "Who knows - maybe we'll launch an enterprise that leaves your family's in the dust." Amelia had to laugh at the bold proclamation. She appreciated Harrison envisioning a future where her talents could shine."You may come to regret saying that when I propose crazy ventures," she joked. They bantered playfully about potential ideas, from novelty pet products to gourmet food trucks. For the first time since her world imploded, Amelia felt a spark of excitement about what lay ahead."In all seriousness, I admire your entrepreneurial spirit," Harrison said sincerely.
