    At past 8 pm, Flora arrived at Amelia's residence. As friends, they had visited each other occasionally, so it wasn't a problem for Flora to locate her apartment. They got in, and Flora tried all she could to stabilize Amelia.Flora asked Amelia if she could stay the night, being that she wasn't completely stable, but Amelia insisted she return home so that she could get to work early tomorrow.Flora obliged and made sure Amelia was half asleep before leaving. During the time she was home with Amelia, she had quickly made dinner and ensured Amelia had a shower.

    "Hmmm," Amelia paused.Amelia thought deeply about whether to reveal everything to Flora yet.Flora knew Alex was fond of Amelia, but Flora didn't know about the one-night stand Amelia had with the mysterious stranger who later turned out to be Alex, which had led to Amelia being pregnant."Well, what bothers me right now is the news about the pregnancy known by everyone in the office, and the false accusation that was proclaimed by a stranger at the office," Amelia responded, avoiding Flora's question about who the father was.Amelia knew revealing who the father was at the moment wasn't the right time."I'm not sure I understand this, Amelia," Flora said, confusion evident in her voice.Amelia explained the whole scenario in detail to Flora."Oh! I understand now," Flora admitted, finally grasping the situation."I'm so sorry that you have to go through all of this, especially in the state you're in," Flora said sympathetically.She drew Amelia closer and gently rubbed her back in a

"It's true that I really wanted to show you the document, but primarily, I wanted you to meet with Amelia alongside."Mr. Nick's face softened, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He muttered no words, but the relief and curiosity in his eyes spoke volumes.

    As Alex arrived, Cora, who was sitting still, muttered, "I don't want to speak with you, Alex."Alex felt sad; he never wanted it to come this far, but her continuous threats to Amelia had made him do so.He asked a few questions about her well-being, but Cora ignored him and channeled her energy into emotional blackmail.Alex ignored her tactics and asked how she had managed to get that image of himself and Amelia.Cora laughed maliciously, and thereafter she answered, "The day our engagement was called off, because I still loved you, I felt the need to keep an eye on you."She paused, and then continued, "So, the next day, I used my spare keys to get into your apartment and installed a hidden camera in your bedroom. From time to time, I would check the footage to see if you were with someone else. That night, after witnessing you both together, I watched the video on my PC, where the camera was wirelessly connected, and took a picture of it."Alex was taken aback. He couldn't believ
