The cab dropped Amelia off in front of her residence in the Hamptons. The girl stepped out of the vehicle, concentrating on getting into the seaside property with her right foot. The wheeled suitcase was dragged to the door and soon she rang the bell that rang silently outside."Good morning." Said the housekeeper as soon as she opened the door to the residence." Good morning, Mr. Alderidge asked me to come." Amelia answered.The housekeeper just smiled and gave Amelia the way, leading her through the house to the living room." I will tell Mr. Alderidge, please wait here. " The housekeeper said, walking out of the room and leaving her there alone.She watched the place, approaching the main wall where some pictures were hanging. She was startled when she heard the metallic noise of a lighter, and noticed a man sitting facing the fireplace, as the smoke and smell of cigarettes gradually filled the room. " Good morning.

Chapter Two
Amelia followed Ethan silently into his office, entering just as he opened the door for her.Ethan indicated one of the armchairs for Amelia to sit in; she still felt tense from her first, bad impression of Alexander.As soon as she sat down, Amelia opened her mouth."I'm sorry, Mr. Alderidge. But I don't think I'm the best person for this job. " She spoke as she stared at him, but Ethan quickly held up his hand for her to hear him."I know my brother is a very difficult person, Amelia. "Ethan replied, he could see the exhaustion in her expression. "But before I give up, I want you to listen to me, okay?Amelia nodded." Alexander wasn't always like this. He was an active man, he raised the company by himself since our parents died. A year ago he was in a car accident with his late fiancée. Unfortunately Morgan was pregnant and she and the baby died in the accident. "Ethan began to tell." He was in a coma for three months and we even thought he wasn't coming back, but when he did, my

Chapter Three
That same afternoon Amelia sent Benjamin an e-mail explaining what had happened. He immediately bought her another cell phone and had it delivered the next day.The next morning Amelia left her room and went to the beach. She needed to get rid of that cell phone, believing that even if it was broken, it could send some kind of signal. Luckily, the Alderidge residence had a pier that led down to the sea. Amelia enjoyed her walk on the beach, it was still too early for anyone there to be awake. Quickly, she went to the pier and threw her cell phone into the sea. Taking a deep breath, she believed she would be safe.Returning to the house, Amelia found one of the second floor windows open, having the strange sensation of being watched. Hurrying her steps, she returned to her room and changed her clothes and headed for Mr. Alderidge's room."Good morning. "Amelia greeted him, entering the room and walking to the window, but noticing that it was already open."You just woke up?" she quest

Chapter Four
The loud, desperate knocking woke Amelia immediately. She rushed to the door to open it and found Mrs. Smith in tears, completely beside herself."Helen, for God's sake, what happened? "Amelia asked, not understanding why."It's Mr. Alderidge, he's unconscious on the bedroom floor! Immediately, Amelia grabbed her first aid bag and ran to Alexander's room.When she arrived, she found Mr. Smith trying to wake him up, but without success. Amelia quickly approached him, checking Alexander's weakened breathing and heartbeat."CALL AN AMBULANCE NOW! "Amelia shouted, setting Alexander's heavy body on the floor.Opening his eyes, she noticed his pupils dilated and unfocused while a white foam escaped from his mouth that was beginning to turn blue."Ron, look in the bathroom for something, where are his meds? Amelia asked, taking the stethoscope and checking his heartbeat one more time.Mr. Smith would go to the bathroom, but soon returned with the weak ones in hand, completely empty.Amelia

When Alexander finally went back to sleep, Amelia took the opportunity to do the same. During the early hours of the morning she heard a movement in the room, imagining it to be one of the nurses.As soon as dawn came, Amelia felt a hand grab her arm and shake her awake. As she opened her eyes, she realized that it was Ethan."Amelia, good morning. Can you walk me outside?" he asked in a calm, low voice and Amelia quickly nodded in agreement, getting up.As soon as they were out of the room, she realized that Ben was also there and immediately hugged him."How is he?" Ethan asked, he could see the tiredness on his face."He's resting, but he's fine. I was able to get him to throw up most of the meds and when we arrived, he had a wash. " Amelia informed, turning her attention back to Benjamin." But why are you here?" She questioned curiously."Ben was with me. We were having dinner when Mrs. Smith called and we took the car here." Ethan answered for him and Benjamin just nodded.As so

Chapter Six
After eating breakfast, Amelia returned to her room and waited for the doctor's visit.She couldn't even look at Alexander in bed without those messages coming back to her.She felt betrayed by him. He had no right to send someone to investigate her life. Not when she had just saved his.Alexander moved around the bed, looking for Amelia who was sitting near the window. He smiled at the sight of her, but she didn't reciprocate when she realized he was awake."Good morning, Jones. " He spoke and Amelia approached, handing him a glass of water with a straw.It didn't take him long to realize that something was wrong, that she was angry. He could see the look in her eyes, even if her expressions tried to hide it."What's wrong? Why are you like this?" he asked innocently.Amelia turned away and walked over to the table, reaching for Alexander's cell phone and dropping it in his lap."You sent someone to investigate me. " She replied and when he tried to retort, she cut him off. "There's

Chapter Seven
" Good morning!!!" Amelia said as soon as she entered Alexander's room that morning, perky and smiling. She was carrying a breakfast tray and didn't wear her usual nursing pajamas, opting instead for brown booties and a floral dress that left a soft cleavage on her small breasts."Why the excitement? " Alexander asked as he stretched, already showered and wearing a sweatshirt." Because we're going for a walk. " She answered, going to his closet. "I don't know about you, but I'm a little tired of these walls. She returned with a button-down shirt and jeans, as well as a pair of white sneakers."Okay, no more sweatshirts." Amelia said, putting the pieces on the bed. " I like these walls. " Alexander replied as he took a sip of coffee." They'll be in the same place when we get back. " She replied, taking the glass of juice from him as she sat down facing him."What are you up to, Jones?" He narrowed his blue eyes in suspicion.'Nothing, Mr. Alderidge. We're just going for a walk and

Chapter Eight
Amelia arrived at the office five minutes later. He noticed as soon as he entered, Alexander a little tense as he was accompanied by the analyst."So? How did it go?" Amelia asked the analyst, then rested her hand on Alexander's shoulder."It was good for the first day. " Dr. Campbell replied as she smiled."It was interesting. " It was Alexander's turn to speak.Amelia watched the two of them, already imagining that she would not be able to get more out of them than that, not least because it was a secret consultation."Well, Mr. Alderidge, can we schedule the next appointment for next week?" Doctor Campbell asked and Alex agreed with a nod.Amelia and Alexander got into the car and started it. She turned the car radio back on while Alexander watched the path they were following, which was the complete opposite of the house. Suspicious, he noticed Amelia's mischievous little smile as she tapped her fingers on the steering wheel." We're not going home. " he commented."We're not. " A

"Have you known each other long enough?" Amelia asked as she walked Alex through the park. She was still carrying the stuffed penguin in her arms." Yes, he was Megan's friend. " Alex replied without much prompting. She realized that his expression was closed and irritated." Ah... " she let slip. " And you don't like each other very much it seems.... " Amelia commented, slowly investigating." Shall we change the subject? I'm hungry and would love a sausage with plenty of mustard. " He said, heading over to the sausage stand.Amelia agreed, but was not convinced and would get into that later. She followed Alexander and reached into her purse for her wallet afterwards."Two sausages and two soft drinks. " She asked the attendant, smiling at her." Aren't you going to let me pay? " Alex asked, crossing his arms." In theory, you're paying. I'm using your money. " Amelia commented as she winked at him." So if I'm paying, I want a beer. " He replied, looking at the attendant."You can'

Chapter Ten
"To what do I owe the pleasure of your early visit, Henry?" Amelia heard Alexander's voice as she stopped at the top of the stairs.Henry was standing in the doorway with a package in his hands while Alexander stared at him with his arms crossed."It's none of your business, Alderidge. I want to give it to Amelia. " Henry replied, Amelia could notice his look of disdain as he looked at Alex."Amelia is in no mood to receive your visit. " Alex replied, his tone of voice laced with anger."That is for her to say. " Henry retorted.Amelia hid between a pillar to listen to the two of them clash."What do you want? Tell her the truth. " Alex demanded. "To get close to Amelia to do the same thing you did to Megan? Forget it. You're not going to hurt Amelia the way you did Megan!Henry just smiled, stepping closer."The man who killed Megan and my son spoke. " Henry replied, all a grudge present in his voice." The baby wasn't yours. You fucking sadist!" Alex snarled. "You ran away at the fi
