Amelia gazed at the decor of the entrance hall in delight. It was all white walls with wooden furniture. A central staircase led to the upper floors and the windows went from floor to ceiling, showing the entire Central Park. Amelia walked around the place completely amazed. It was the most beautiful house she had ever entered."What do you think?" Alexander asked, noticing his wife's sparkling eyes."It's wonderful, Alex. " She replied, walking over to him." Come, I want to show you another place. " He spoke, guiding the wheelchair down the first corridor and stopping in front of a mahogany double door. " Open it. " he asked.Amelia stared at him uncomprehendingly, but obeyed.Opening the door, Amelia's jaw dropped at the sight of the residence's library.With shelves and shelves of books that were lost, as well as a fireplace and comfortable armchairs with a view of Central Park. She entered in wonder, like a child in a toy store. "What do you think?" he asked, crossing his arms

Mrs. Smith returned from the kitchen with the glasses and distributed them among everyone present while Ethan began serving them. When it was Amelia's turn to be served, she didn't even have time to answer when Helena, Alexander and Benjamin spoke in unison a no, leaving not only Amelia startled but also Mr. Smith."I don't drink, Mr. Alderidge. " She replied completely ungraciously, not understanding why Alexander had said no as well."You are officially my sister-in-law, so call me Ethan. " He said as he smiled, turning his attention back to Helena. "Lena, can you get some juice for Amelia to toast with us?" he said.Helena smiled, reaching for Amelia's glass and heading into the kitchen. Mrs. Smith returned a few minutes later with a glass filled with orange juice. They to

As soon as dawn broke, Amelia got ready and went downstairs to the first floor. She took advantage of the cool morning to go to Central Park. It was the first time she had been to the park since moving to New York and then to the Hamptons. After stopping at a coffee shop and buying a chocolate Frappuccino, she went to the lawn and sat down, enjoying the sunny morning.Amelia took the opportunity to read a little, but was soon distracted when her attention was stolen by a mother and her baby. A beautiful little boy with blond hair and rosy cheeks was running awkwardly with his chubby legs across the lawn. He laughed as he ran towards his mother, being hugged as she kissed his cheeks.Without realizing it, Amelia rested her hand on her own belly as she touched it. She could feel it getting a little bigger, wondering if in a while it would be her there, playing with her baby. Amelia felt more and more certain about her pregnancy. But she didn't know if she could go on lying to Alexande

Sabine left Amelia at the triplex, leaving Alexander's card on a table in the entrance hall. She then said goodbye and left the place.Amélia walked through the apartment, going to the mirror near the stairs that led to the second floor. The dress she was wearing was a very light shade of pink, all silk with a structured bodice and a subtle V-neckline, which gave volume to her small breasts. It followed a structure down to her waist and the skirt was completely loose, with a long slit. Her hair was shorter, just above her shoulders, as she had always wanted and Barth had always forbidden. Her make-up highlighted her big green eyes and her pink lips took on a soft red hue.She looked as stunning as she had ever looked.Distracted, Amelia rested her hand on her stomach, stroking it gently."Amelia? Oh my God! "Helena's voice snapped her out of her brief trance as she entered the room. "You look spectacular!Amelia smiled, walking elegantly in a pair of heeled sandals while showing off

Amelia still couldn't believe that Alex was actually walking. Inside the car, she caught herself looking at him a few times. She trailed her fingers up his thigh until she reached his hand and held it, entwining her fingers in his lovingly."Is everything all right?" Alex asked, feeling a certain pressure from her grip on his fingers."Yeah, I just... I can't believe you're walking, Alex. " she replied, her green eyes fixed on his blue ones.Amelia brought her free hand to the man's cheek, caressing it."And I can't believe you've kept it from me for so long either. " she complained, looking at him slightly hurt."We all have secrets, don't we?" Alex replied, feeling Amelia loosen her grip on his fingers and then release his hand."Yes, we do. " She replied, turning her attention to the car window, watching the city lights.When the car pulled up in front of the Plaza, where the ball was to be held, Amelia felt particularly insecure at the sight of all those photographers at the gate,

hey crossed the Plaza's great hall as everyone stared at them. Amelia felt her cheeks flush immediately and held Alexander's arm tightly. "Amelia, you're digging your nails in.... " he muttered in a pained tone.She loosened her grip, turning her eyes to Alex."Sorry. Everyone's watching. " she commented, feeling his hand rest on her back, just above her hip."It's all right. Don't worry. " He replied, kissing her hair."I'm sorry. I was supposed to be calming you down, not the other way around. " She said, then met Alex's gaze with sympathy."Don't worry," he whispered in her ear. "They're watching because I'm walking next to the most beautiful woman in this room.Amelia smiled, shaking her head negatively.She walked beside him, terribly annoyed by the people staring at them. She wished she could tell them to look somewhere else.In the distance, Ethan and Benjamin walked towards them, the former visibly shocked and moved as he hugged his older brother."Alex, for God's sake.

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. " Amelia spoke as she approached, but the man seemed to ignore h

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

Alexander was in his room when Amelia returned from "lunch" with her older brother. He had spent much of the afternoon thinking about all the information Helena had given him. How could someone as young as her go through so much terror over the years? More than ever, he wanted to protect her from the world. And more than ever, he loved her. She was an exceptional woman, so full of courage despite everything, and she still carried that burden. The baby of the man she hated. But if Amelia was willing to raise and love that child, he would do the same. He would protect not only her, but also their future child."May I come in? " Amelia asked as she knocked on the door, bringing Alex out of his thoughts."Yes, Amy. Come in. " He replied, turning his attention back to the door.He looked at Amelia, trying to notice some sign of her pregnancy, but to no avail. However, he couldn't deny that Amelia was looking brighter, prettier. More than usual."How was lunch?" he asked, resigning himse

Alexander looked at Helena completely in shock, feeling his face immediately heat up with frustration and fury."No... It's not possible. " He said as a thousand things went through his mind."She tricked me! She lied to me!" He shouted furiously, picking up the glass that was on the countertop and throwing it at the wall.Helena shielded herself in fear of him." Alexander!!! " She warned him, she never called him by his name." Helena, she got close to me, she made me fall in love with her to deceive me!!! " He shouted. " He shouted. " Just like Megan tried!" You are being unfair! " She retorted. " Amelia is not like Megan, she never was. " She claimed. " Amelia didn't know she was pregnant, for God's sake!" How can you say that? We know nothing about her! About her life, she always hid it!" He shouted completely upset."Because she had her reasons! You have no idea what this girl went through to get to this house, and I will not allow you to jump to conclusions. " She said, raisi

As the weeks went by, Amelia was assisted more by Helena, who helped her with everything possible during the pregnancy, but still kept it a secret from Alexander. Alexander, for his part, was getting more and more involved with the company's work that was coming in little by little. It was a long process that his therapist had proposed, but it was remarkable how he was gradually regaining part of his life.When he wasn't in the office working and Amelia was keeping him company, he was with Adam behind closed doors and always left dripping with sweat, but apparently satisfied.Amelia's belly was beginning to show the first signs. She was tall and thin, it wouldn't be hard to tell soon that she was pregnant and that worried him a lot.Soon she would no longer be able to hide her pregnancy from Alexander and she needed to prepare for the day when she would tell him everything. That morning, Amelia went to the office where Alex was already working. Unlike her nursing pajamas, this time
