Amelia My heart pounded in my ears."What are you talking about? What happened to mum? Where is she?" I questioned"I don't know. She just... She just collapsed," Ella answered, breaking down in sobs.I shot out of the bed in panic. But Alexander’s hand grabbed me and held me back. He was like a rock, not moving, not talking. Just standing there, holding onto my hand.I took a deep breath. "Where are you?" I asked, my mind racing with different thoughts.“I… I'm as…” Her words were difficult to understand. “Ella, I can't understand what you are saying. I need to know where you are?”"I'm at… the hospital. The doctor… said…he…" she sniffled."Okay, okay, I'm on my way," I said, trying to get out of bed, the second time. He made no effort to stop me. "Which hospital is she at?""St. Mary's," Ella replied, her voice cracking.That was the hospital she visited for her checkups. "Alright, I'll be there soon. Try to stay calm,""Okay," she whispered, still sobbing.I quickly ended the cal

Amelia "William?" I choked out the name. The sound of his name on my lips was like a dagger ripping my heart to shreds, a painful reminder that left me reeling. I slid into the car, and Mr Alexander settled in beside me. "Drive to the airport," Mr Alexander said curtly, "Miss Fray, look at me." I lifted my gaze to meet his, pain evident in my eyes. Why would he want to do this to me? After what he saw at the hotel. "You must keep your pregnancy a secret from William, do you understand me?" I nodded my head in agreement, my mind racing with the daunting prospect of seeing William again. I wasn't ready to confront him again, not after all the things he said to me. A tear slid down my eye. We were back in New York before I knew it. My mind was still on my mother. I picked up my phone and quickly texted Ella; I left to sort some things out. I'll be back before you know it. Love you, sis. "We're here, sir," The driver informed. I peeled my eyes away from my phone at the sound

Amelia I held my phone to my ear, distracted by the clothes I was packing for my trip home. Hayley's voice came through, concerned and caring. "How's your mom doing?" "She's doing better," I replied absent-mindedly, my focus on the clothes. “Ella said the doctors are positive she would recover fine.” "Ella? You're not with your mom?" Her question snapped me back to attention. I had forgotten to tell her. With the back-and-forth travel and my late-night visit to the warehouse, I had dosed off immediately when I saw a bed. "Uh, I'm actually in New York City right now. Something came up." "What are you doing here?" She asked. I paused, fighting the urge within me. "I came back yesterday to get my things,” I lied. “But I'll be heading back home in a few minutes." "Oh, I see. I'll come with you then," her tone was casual, almost nonchalant. My heart pumped with excitement. I've missed my best friend and I wanted to see her. "You want to come to Wisconsin with me?" I asked

Chapter 12Amelia "How... how did this happen?" She stammered, her voice trembling with emotion. "You're married? And pregnant? Without me knowing?" "I know it's a lot to take in, but please just listen." I pleaded.She shook her head, "I can't believe you would keep this from me, Amelia. Your own mother. You're supposed to set an example for your little sister.""It happened so fast mom, we fell in love and then got married in court. It wasn't a big wedding." That was a big lie. I was lying to her in her face. But what other choice do I have?“You're not married by a priest! Oh, Amelia… what did I do to deserve this?”Oh, my! I've messed up big time. I didn't intend to reveal anything about the wedding. But my nerves are getting the best of me.“Mum, we plan to have a big white wedding,” I continued my lie, trying to salvage the situation. “With you and Ella present, before the Lord. But we're waiting for you to get better, Mum.”I could feel Hayley's burning gaze on me. But I ign

Alexander I sat in my office, lost in the stacks of papers and files on my desk. The shrill ring of my phone broke the silence, I glanced at the screen, and a wide grin spread across my face as I saw the name "Charles" flashing back at me."Hey, man," I greeted as soon as I answered."How are you doing married man?" Charles teased at the other end of the phone.I chuckled, leaning back in my chair, It's been one month since I married Mia and Charles still teased me about it. Well, I decided to join in the fun. "Still dealing with your superstar girlfriend's diva antics or has she finally learned to tolerate you?" I teased back.The laughter on the other end of the line was infectious, and I could almost see Charles' grin through the phone. "Oh, I've missed you so much, man!" he exclaimed, his voice still chuckling, "Get your ass to the club later, we've got some serious catching up to do!"Charles, my best friend, was one to party. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason for

Selene My eyes fluttered open, and I found myself lying in the back seat of a car, my mind foggy and my memories hazy. But one image stood out clearly - Alex, rushing to my aid.A soft smile spread across my lips as I whispered to myself, "My knight in shining armour."The car came to a stop, and Alex opened the door, gently pulling me out. My legs faltered, still weakened by the alcohol, and Alex swiftly lifted me into his arms, cradling me like a child. I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding tight and sniffing it.A subtle smile spread across my face as I gazed at him, taking in the chiselled features of his striking face. His handsome appearance was undeniable. And for the first time, I saw his face soften, not the cold demeanour he usually reserved for me. Like he had been harbouring a grudge against me. Like I had wronged him in a past life. I was lost in thought, my mind reeling as I stared at him, My thoughts were a jumbled mess as I stared at him. The next thing I knew,

Chapter 15Amelia "Have you seen it?!" Hayley shouted from the other end of the line."Seen what?" I asked groggily, not happy I had been woken by this time of day.I never knew the first trimester would be this exhausting... or I knew but never expected it. I've had bouts of morning sickness that leave me drained every single time. "You haven't seen it then," "Hayley, what is it? I'm not in the mood for long talk." I said, my voice impatient."Go to TMZ!” she exclaimed."Tone it down, Hay,” I begged her, already itching to get off the phone and back to my dream world. “Just tell me already, Hayley." "Girl, You're only eight weeks pregnant. Don't be lazy, just go online and check the latest news on their page." she insisted, heaving a sigh out of frustration. I could almost picture her pouting as she spoke and I smiled.I succumbed, grabbed my phone from the bedside drawer and flipped it open. I opened my Instagram and clicked on the TMZ website to see what Hayley was freaking out

Amelia"Oh my God, Hayley! You scared the shit out of me." I exclaimed, my voice shaking with fear."Sorry! I noticed you rushing in here and I was wondering what was happening. Why did you rush in here? Are you planning on getting books?" Hayley questioned, her brows furrowed in confusion as she stared at my empty hands."Were you the one following me?" I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly.Hayley arched her brow, her expression puzzled, "No. Was someone following you?" she asked, her eyes darting around us.I rubbed my temple, shivering slightly as the cool breeze brushed against my skin. "I'm not sure. I just had this weird feeling like someone was following me.""Amelia, are you all right? You're covered in sweat," Hayley said, her voice filled with concern as she gazed at me with a worried expression."I need to get out of here, Hayley," I said, brushing past her and hurrying out of the bookstore. I stood outside, taking deep breaths and trying to calm myself down.She followed be

Selene “Hey, girl,” I said, standing up and rushing to hug Sarah as soon as she walked in. I wrapped my arms tightly around her. “I’m so sorry for what happened.”“It’s okay, Selene. It wasn’t your fault. You saw the signs and tried to warn me. I just wasn’t paying attention.”I pulled back slightly, holding her by the shoulders. “I knew that son of a bitch was up to something,” I muttered.She sighed and moved past me to sit on the couch. “I wish I wasn’t so blinded by love.”“Has he been found?” I asked, walking over to sit beside her. “Do they know where he is?”Sarah shook her head. “I don’t know. Alexander has people looking for him.”“So, they don’t know where he is,” I said flatly.“Yeah,” she confirmed. “All I know is that he’s out there somewhere, and I just hope Alexander’s people find him.”“What…” I hesitated for a moment, then asked. “what will Alex do to him when he finds him?”“I don’t know. But you know how Alexander is. Whatever he has planned for Henry won’t be good

Amelia Ella gestured toward the security guards stationed inside the house, her frustration written all over her face. “When do you think this will end?” she asked, her tone heavy with exasperation.I shook my head. “I don’t know.”“God, I just want this to be over,” she groaned. “I’m so sick of them following me everywhere. I even had to skip a party because I didn’t want to feel embarrassed.”I raised an eyebrow. “I thought having bodyguards was supposed to make you look cool.”She let out a sharp laugh, the kind that carried more annoyance than amusement. “Cool? Are you serious? It’s a party, not a red carpet event. The guards would just scare everyone off, keep them from even getting close to me. How am I supposed to meet anyone like that? How am I supposed to find the perfect guy? I just want to get laid, for God’s sake.”“I’m sorry, Ella. Alexander just wants us to be safe. Henry is still out there and—”She cut me off, throwing her hands up. “I know, I know! But I don’t think

Henry I glanced up from the stack of papers on my workbench when the sound of footsteps reached my ears. There he was, my father, strolling into my sanctuary like he owned the place. He pulled out a wooden chair and sat down, making himself comfortable.My relationship with my father was… complicated. He and I didn't always see eye to eye on a lot of things but I still loved him. He was the only family I had left. And family is important. At least that’s what people always said, right?“So, this is where you’ve been hiding. In your man cave,” he said, his tone as casual as ever.“Dad, what are you doing here?” I asked. “Didn’t I tell you to leave the country?”His jaw tightened. “Why should I leave for him? He’s the one who should be running, not me. I’m not afraid of him.”I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. “I never said you were, Dad. But Alex is probably out there looking for me right now. You shouldn’t have come. You might’ve led him here without realizing it.”I crossed

Alexander “Have you found him?” I snapped into the phone, pacing the room as my PI droned on.“No, but I’m doing everything—”“Fuck!” I cut him off sharply, the word tearing out of me before I could stop it. “Don’t call me again unless you’ve found him. Do you understand?”“Yes, sir,” he muttered and the line went dead.I stared at the phone in my hand, my frustration boiling over. “How hard is it to find one damn person?” I growled, hurling the phone against the wall. I couldn’t believe that bastard was still out there. After the disaster at the wedding, I’d insisted that Sarah and my mom stay at my mansion. There was no way I was leaving them alone, not with the risk hanging over all of us.The door to my study swung open suddenly, breaking my train of thought. My head snapped up. “Amelia,” I breathed out.“Are you okay?” she asked as she stepped into the room, her eyes scanning me. “I heard you yelling.”“Yeah. The PI I hired still hasn’t found Henry. I was yelling at him.” I mu

Alexander Sarah’s voice was thick with confusion as she stood beside Henry. “Alexander, Charlie. What’s going on?” she asked, her eyes darting between the two of us.Henry shot me a glare, his annoyance practically radiating off him.I didn’t give a damn. That bastard needed to feel my anger.I turned to the man standing beside them—his priestly robes suddenly irritating me more than they should. “Get out of here, priest,” I said, gesturing sharply toward the door.Without waiting to see if he obeyed, I turned to the rest of the room. “You can all leave now. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for coming.” My voice was tight, barely polite.Sarah’s eyes flared with anger. “What the hell, Alexander? What are you doing?”I met her furious gaze without flinching. “Trust me, Sarah. You don’t want them here for this.”Her expression hardened, and her voice rose in defiance. “Maybe you’re the one who shouldn’t be here,” she snapped. “You kept everyone waiting, and now you show u

Amelia "Does Alexander plan on missing his sister's wedding?" Victoria whispered in my ear, her voice tight with concern.I shook my head quickly. "No, he said he would be here."Her brow furrowed as she glanced at the door, then back at me. "Then where is he? The ceremony has already started. He's supposed to walk Sarah down the aisle. Have you called him?"I felt a pang of unease in my chest. No, I hadn’t called him. But I should have."I forgot my phone in the car," I muttered."Please, find a way to reach him. If he doesn’t get here soon, his grandfather will have to take his place. We can’t keep waiting for him.""Alright." "Alright," I replied, though a knot tightened in my stomach.Alexander was never late. He should’ve been here by now. What if something had happened to him?I pushed the thought aside, trying to shake off the rising unease. With a shaky breath, I pulled my key from my pocket to unlock the car but froze when I saw a strange man in black jeans and a leather

AlexanderI burst into the room, my heart racing. "Fuck man, we have to get out of here now!" I exclaimed.Charlie looked up at me, his eyes filled with concern. "What happened?" he asked, struggling against the restraints that bound him to the chair.I scanned the room frantically, searching for an alternate escape route. "Is there another way out of this house? A back door, maybe?"Charlie shook his head. "Dude, I've been tied up for days. I don't even know where we are.""Fuck, fuck." I muttered a string of curses under my breath, pacing back and forth across the room. We had to get out, and fast."Your 'get- me- out-of- here' plan not working, huh?" he quipped, a small smile played on his face.I halted my frantic pacing, my eyes locking onto Charlie's grinning face. Irritation simmered beneath my surface."Wipe that fucking grin off your face, Charlie," I growled. "This isn't a joke. There's a man at the door, and I think he's here to take you out. If we don't get out of here no

Alexander I let out a sigh of relief as Sarah finally answered my call. "Hello, my handsome brother," her voice slurred through the line.I rolled my eyes. I'd been waiting for what felt like an eternity for her to pick up, and now I was met with her drunk chatter."I've called more than a hundred times, Sarah.""Really? Why, Alexander? Do you want to join my party?" Sarah's voice was laced with a playful giggle. "We are short of strippers. I mean, I have no interest in seeing your body... eww... but my friends seem to think that you're hot and sexy."I placed my hand on my forehead, shaking it in dismay. How was I supposed to have a serious conversation with my drunk sister? "No, I don't want to strip or be a stripper in your party. I called you for something more important.""You want to be among my bridesmaids?" she asked.I tried to steer the conversation back on track, but Sarah's drunken haze seemed to warp her understanding. I sighed inwardly. "No, Sarah. Do you remember wh

Alexander I steered my car out of the driveway, my phone pressed to my ear. "Hey, James, I need Mr. Thompson's address," I said, my voice clear and urgent.There was a brief pause before James responded, "Henry Thompson?""No, James. I don't mean Henry. I want the home address of Mr Thompson. Henry's father." I clarified."Oh, I don't have it but I could make a few calls." "Hurry up with the calls, I'm driving without a destination," I said navigating through the quiet street."Alright. Hold on." James instructed softly, placing me on hold.I drummed my fingers impatiently on the steering wheel, waiting for James to return with the information.I wasn't ashamed to admit that I was paranoid. I had to make sure my unsettling thoughts were at ease.My thoughts shifted to Amelia and a smile spread across my face. The look on her face when she asked If I was going to lock someone up. I couldn't tell her where I was going. She would have reminded me of how paranoid I was."Sir?" James' vo
