Luke stood in the shadows, his face etched with concern as he overheard Ava's conversation with Stanley. His eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications of Amelia's release from prison. He knew how much Ava had suffered at her hands, and the thought of her returning to that dark place was unbearable. He remembered the nightmares, the anxiety, the fear that had gripped her for so long. He didn't want her to go back to that.As Ava and Stanley parted ways, Luke approached her, his expression softening. "Hey, what are you doing out here?" he asked, his voice gentle, trying to sound nonchalant despite the worry gnawing at his gut.Ava chuckled, a hint of nervousness in her laugh. "Just seeing Stanley off," she lied, trying to brush it off, but Luke knew her too well.Luke's eyes lingered on hers, his gaze piercing. "You should come back inside," he said, his voice laced with concern. "It's getting chilly out here, and you're pregnant. You need to take care of yourself.""Yeah, l
The next morning, at the gigantic Timberlake mansion, the family gathered for breakfast in the grand dining hall. Mr. Timberlake, his face paralyzed, sat in his wheelchair, reliant on Gloria to feed him. Amelia, seated across from them, ate her meal with a mixture of disdain and superiority.The door swung open, and Luke stood in the entrance, his presence commanding attention. His cold stare swept the room, his eyes lingering on each face before settling on the family. He wore a tailored suit, his blazer accentuating his broad shoulders, exuding an aura of power and control.The room fell silent, fear etched on every face. How did he get in undetected? Amelia's eyes widened, her mouth opening to form a silent "Luke Richardson." She stuttered, "W-what are you doing here?"A bodyguard rushed behind Luke breathing heavily in exhaustion. He had been chasing Luke and trying to stop him from entering. Gloria nodded at the guard to let Luke be. Luke now walks majestically to the front of
Luke's limp body was pushed on a cart into the hospital, his head bleeding profusely, his entire body bruised and battered. Ava ran beside the cart, tears streaming down her face as she called out his name, "Luke! Luke, please! Oh God, no!"Stanley kept pace with her, his face grim with concern. "Ava, we have to let the doctors work, he’s going to be alright. Calm down," he said, trying to calm her down.But Ava was beyond consolation. She had been on the phone with Luke when the accident happened, and she couldn't shake off the feeling of helplessness. Tears kept falling down her face as she shivered to the worst possible case. What if he died? He’s unconscious!As they rushed Luke into the emergency room, Ava and Stanley were left outside, waiting anxiously for news. Ava paced back and forth, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios.“Sit down, Ava,” Stanley tried to reassure her, "He's going to be okay, Ava. Luke's strong. He'll pull through."But Ava couldn't shake off the fear t
Amelia's voice trembled as she spoke, "I want to pull out, Gloria. I don't want to be a part of this anymore."Gloria's expression turned icy, her eyes flashing with anger. She rushed towards Amelia, her hands grasping for her neck. Amelia's eyes widened in fear as Gloria's grip tightened, her fingers digging deep into her skin."Don't act weak, Amelia," Gloria hissed, her breath hot against Amelia's ear. "I'm not ready to start taking care of defaulters. You need to get your head in the game."Amelia's eyes stared into Gloria's, fear passing through her like a wave. She had never seen Gloria like this before, her eyes evil and menacing."I'm sorry," Amelia whispered, trying to placate her. "I was foolish to pity the Richardson’s after what they did to me. They deserve everything that’s coming right at them."Gloria's grip relaxed, her hands releasing Amelia's neck. She patted Amelia's shoulder, her touch condescending. "Very good, Amelia. Now you're coming back to your senses. Never
Ava's eyes widened in denial, her face pale with shock. "No, that's a lie!" she exclaimed, her voice shaking with emotion. "Luke can't be in a coma. He's going to be fine, he has to be. He's strong, he'll pull through. Where is he? No, I don’t want to see him. He’s fine."The doctor's expression was sympathetic, but firm. "I'm sorry, Ava. I wish I had better news. We did everything we could, but...he's still not responding."But Ava wouldn't let go. She grabbed hold of the doctor's collar, her fingers digging deep into his shirt. "Bring back my husband!" she cried, her body shaking with sobs. "I want to see him! I need to see him!"Mia rushed forward, trying to intervene. "Ava, stop. Let him go. He did what he could. He’s done his part to help."“But his effort wasn’t enough!” But Ava held tight, her grip unyielding. Mia tried to pry her fingers loose, finally managing to pull her away from the doctor."I'm so sorry," Mia apologized, as the doctor quickly beat a retreat, looking relie
Officer Thompson approached the grand entrance of the Timberlakes' mansion, his eyes fixed on the imposing structure. He stepped inside, and Gloria greeted him at the door, a hint of curiosity in her voice."What brings you to my humble home, Officer?" she asked, her tone dripping with sarcasm.Officer Thompson flashed his badge, his expression stern. "I'm here to investigate the hijacking of Luke Richardson's car. We have reason to believe he was here before the incident."Gloria's expression changed from curiosity to concern, but Officer Thompson could see the faintest glimmer of something else - fear, perhaps, or guilt. "Oh, what happened to Luke? Is he alright?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of insincerity.Officer Thompson's eyes narrowed. "That's what I'm trying to determine. And I understand Luke was here before the accident. Care to explain what he was doing here?"Gloria's smile faltered, and she took a step back, her eyes darting around the room as if searching for
Gloria's voice rose, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Just leave, Officer. Please, just leave. You're not going to find anything here. I don't know what you're looking for, but it's not here."Officer Thompson's expression remained firm, his eyes never leaving Gloria's face. "I'm not leaving until I get some answers, Mrs. Timberlake. You're hiding something, and I aim to find out what it is."Gloria's face twisted in frustration, her hands clenched into fists. "Fine. Stay then. But you're not going to find anything. And even if you do, it's not going to prove anything."Officer Thompson's eyes narrowed. "I'll be the judge of that, Mrs. Timberlake. Now, I want to see the rest of the footage. All of it."Gloria's eyes flashed with anger, but she knew she had no choice. She nodded curtly and gestured to one of her bodyguards, who stepped forward to comply with the officer's request.As the footage played on, Officer Thompson's eyes scanned every frame, searching for any clue that might
Amelia rushed into the sitting room, her face flushed with excitement and concern. "Gloria, what's going on?" she asked, her eyes scanning the room as if searching for answers. “I saw the cameras being changed.”Gloria sat on the couch, her expression tense and guarded. "What are you talking about, Amelia?" she asked, her voice cool and detached."When did Officer Thompson come over to the house?" Amelia demanded, her eyes locked on Gloria's face. "I saw him leaving as I was coming in. What did he want?"Gloria's expression faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. "He came over about an hour ago," she said, her voice measured. "He was asking questions about Luke Richardson."Amelia's eyes widened in surprise. "Luke you mean? What does he have to do with anything?"Gloria's eyes flashed with anger, but she bit back her response. "Just drop it, Amelia," she said, her voice firm. "It's none of your concern."Amelia's face fell, but she knew better than to push Gloria when

Ava and Amelia chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company, as they stood on the balcony of the penthouse, far above the glittering city lights. The cool evening breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers from the gardens below.Their conversation flowed effortlessly, sharing stories and memories, until Amelia's smile suddenly faded. Ava noticed the change and turned to her, concerned."What's wrong?" Ava asked, but before Amelia could respond, Ava's gaze shifted to see Gloria Timberlake standing behind her, holding a gun in her hand.“Surprise!” Gloria's eyes glittered, as Ava startled back with Amelia catching her. “Ohh, easy, so you don’t fall.” “How did you get in here? Who let you in and how are you not in prison?” Ava asked quickly but Gloria's eyes blazed with a mix of anger and desperation. "You know, Ava, you should have invited me to this little party."Ava's heart skipped a beat as she took a step back, her eyes fixed on the gun. "Gloria, I ask again, what a
As Ava and Luke mingled with their guests, they were stopped by Mrs. Muse, a prominent socialite, who gazed at them with admiration. "Ava, Luke, congratulations on your remarkable success! You two are the talk of the town, and your love story is truly inspiring."Ava smiled graciously, her eyes sparkling. "Thank you, Mrs. Muse. We're humbled by the support and kindness we've received."Mrs. Muse's eyes sparkled. "Your journey, from overcoming adversity to achieving greatness, is a testament to your strength and resilience. What's your secret to success?"Luke wrapped his arm around Ava, pulling her close. "Being together has been our strength. We've faced challenges, but our love has kept us grounded and focused on our goals."Ava nodded in agreement, her voice filled with emotion. "We've learned to appreciate each other, prioritize our relationship, and support each other's passions. It's not always easy, but it's worth it."Mr. Johnson, a business associate, chimed in, "Your partner
Three years had passed since Ava's ordeal, and she had never been happier. She and Luke were hosting an evening gala at their luxurious penthouse, and the excitement was obvious. The penthouse's interior was a masterpiece of design, with lavish chandeliers, marble floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the city skyline.The gala's theme was "A Night Under the Stars," and every detail was meticulously planned to create an enchanting atmosphere. The walls were adorned with intricate silver and gold patterns, shimmering like stardust. Crystal glasses and delicate china sparkled on the tables, while the soft glow of candles and string lights created a warm ambiance.The maids were speedily getting the whole tables set. Inside the penthouse, in an apartment Ava stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her stunning gown. The dress was a custom-made, strapless designer masterpiece, hugging her curves in all the right places. The silk fabric shimmered in the lig
Gloria paced back and forth in her prison cell, her eyes blazing with anger. Her lawyer, Mr. Jenkins, sat calmly, his expression stern. "Get me out of here," Gloria demanded, her voice low and menacing. "I don't belong here. This is all Amelia Clifford’s fault. I didn’t see this coming."Mr. Jenkins shook his head. "Gloria, there's no way. You've been convicted of multiple crimes, including abduction and assault. The evidence against you is overwhelming. You just have to stay put and serve your sentence."“Fuck it!”Gloria's face twisted in rage. "That Ava Richardson thinks she's so perfect, doesn't she? She's the reason I'm here. She's always been the reason for my misery." Gloria's curses filled the air, her venom directed at Ava.Mr. Jenkins sighed. "Gloria, Ava Richardson is the victim here. You abducted her and her children and nearly killed her. You need to accept responsibility for your actions."Gloria's eyes flashed. "I'll never accept this. Ava Richardson will pay for this. S
Ava's eyes fluttered open, and she was met with Luke's concerned gaze. He sat beside her, his face etched with worry, his eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep."What... what happened?" Ava asked, her voice groggy and barely above a whisper.Luke's expression softened, and he took her hand in his. "You fainted, Ava. You've been out for a few hours. I was so scared when I saw you on the floor."Ava's mind fogged, memories slowly returning. She remembered being with Amelia and then to Luke, talking to him about to leave, and then... nothing."The twins... where are they?" Ava asked, her voice laced with panic.Luke's hand enveloped hers, his touch warm and reassuring. "They're alright, Ava. They're safe and sound, sleeping in a room. Stanley is watching over them."Ava's eyes welled up with tears as Luke pulled her into a tight hug."Rest, Ava. Don't worry about anything. You're safe now," Luke whispered into her ear. “After you’re strong enough, we would go see the kids.”But Ava's worrie
Amelia sat beside John on the plush couch in her lavish bedroom, her eyes drinking in every detail of her son's face. She had missed so much, and she was determined to catch up. The warm sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the contours of John's features, and Amelia's heart swelled with love. "John, sweetie, tell me everything about yourself," Amelia said, her voice filled with excitement. "What do you like to do? What's your favorite subject in school? Do you have any new friends?" John's eyes sparkled as he launched into an enthusiastic account of his love for soccer, his favorite teacher, Mrs. Gabe, and his passion for reading. Amelia listened, captivated by her son's animated expressions. "And how's your father treating you?" Amelia asked, her voice laced with concern.”Has he been nice to you? John's face lit up with a warm smile. "Daddy's nice, Mommy. He's always busy, but he makes sure I'm taken care of. He takes me to the park and plays soccer with me whe
As the plane touched down at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport, Italy, Amelia felt a mix of emotions swirling inside her. Excitement at the prospect of reuniting with her son, John, wrestled with nervousness about facing Jackson again. The warm Italian sunlight streaming through the windows seemed to amplify her anxiety.Ethan, the charming stranger she had met on the plane, smiled warmly as they gathered their belongings. His piercing blue eyes crinkled at the corners, and his dark hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck."It was great talking to you, Amelia," Ethan said, his deep voice filled with sincerity. "I'll call you soon, okay?"“Yeah…sure,” Amelia smiled, feeling a spark of connection. "I'd like that."They exchanged numbers, and Ethan leaned in to kiss her cheek. His warm breath sent shivers down her spine. "Arrivederci, Amelia. Buona fortuna."Amelia’s heart skipped a beat. She had not been expecting the kiss. Was this a sign to go out with him? No, she stil
