CHAPTER 114 - The Bet

Upon hearing her words, Leo’s eyes widened in surprise. He immediately retorted, “When did I say I was leaving?”

He paused, feeling a bit uneasy as he glanced toward Cooper. “What are you guys having for supper? I’m feeling a bit hungry too, so I’ll reluctantly join you.”

Cooper struggled to hold back his laughter. He had never seen Leo act like this before—so childish, almost immature.

However, Amelia furrowed her brows. Sophia’s words earlier had served as a good reminder for her. She shouldn't get too close to Leo again. She had once given him her heart, and it had cost her greatly, even leading to the loss of her brother’s life.

Now, she couldn’t afford to lose herself again.

With that in mind, Amelia coldly replied, “No thanks. Mr. Reynold’s status is far too noble; it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to have supper with people like us.”

Leo was taken aback. He couldn’t understand why Amelia was acting this way. Ever since she had come out of the restroom, she had been

    Approximately ten minutes later, the barbecue dishes began arriving one by one. The first plates were set in front of Amelia, and she seemed pleased with them. There were assorted seafood, cuts of beef, and mushrooms. Although Leo was unaccustomed to some of the flavors, he found them edible enough to try. Then a dish of something unusual was placed before him. His stoic demeanor faltered, and Amelia, grinning, urged, “Come on, eat up! Why are you hesitating?” Leo scoffed. If he chose to eat, he would. What was there to fear? Wasn’t it merely a plate of chili cheese fries with an extra kick? He resolved to try it. With that in mind, he took a forkful of the vibrant dish topped with an odd assortment of toppings and placed it in his mouth. Amelia watched with an amused expression. In an instant, Leo’s brow furrowed, and he rushed to the nearby trash can to spit it out. “What kind of fries are these? Why do they taste so strange?” He nearly voiced his concern, wondering if

    As soon as the words were spoken, Leo impatiently pulled Amelia away. “Why leave a phone number? I have yours, I’ll give it to her later.” After speaking, he led Amelia towards his parked car. Silent, watching their retreating figures, Cooper was dumbfounded. After a moment, he shook his head and laughed. He could see that these two were enemies who loved each other dearly. It seemed that the divorce six years ago had not truly separated them. Whether they would get back together in the future was uncertain, but one thing he knew for sure—they were still in love. Thinking this, he sat down again. He called the waiter and said, "Take this plate of unfinished food away." On one side, Cooper was enjoying his meal. On the other, Leo pulled Amelia into the car. She struggled several times but couldn’t break free. It wasn’t until they were in the car that she finally pushed Leo away and asked angrily, “What are you doing?” Leo ignored her, fastened her seatbelt bef

She never expected to enjoy it but she found herself craving for more.Her hand moved to his head as Leo’s hand slid to her waist, drawing her closer to him. The kiss which was supposed to last for just a second stretched into minutes.Amelia moaned between kisses, driving Leo crazy.

Why did you enjoy the kiss so much? Her thoughts at that moment were a mess.Leo looked at her, breathing heavily. At that moment, he wished her senses hadn’t returned to ruin things for him.

    Amelia felt her heart race at Ella's innocent question. The memory of last night's kiss washed over her, causing a rush of heat within her. The taste of Leo’s lips lingered in her memory, and his scent still hung in the air. Ella's innocent inquiry caught Amelia off guard; she wasn’t prepared to explain anything, especially since she was still unsure of her own feelings. She looked down at her daughter, who held the coat with wide, curious eyes. Amelia managed a smile, keeping her tone steady. “Yes, your dad stopped by to check on you two, but you were both asleep. He must have left it behind.” Ella tilted her head, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. “Did he stay late?” Amelia's smile tightened. “Not too late. We just had a conversation.” Ella studied her closely. “Okay, if you say so.” After a moment, she turned back, teasing yet innocent. “Did you kiss him?” Amelia’s smile vanished. She shifted her focus to the stove, concentrating on flipping the pancakes. Had El

    Cindy's grandmother's familiar voice was heard over the line, her voice sounded urgent. "Amelia, please can you come to our home right away? Cindy has a situation that requires your help. I have forwarded our address to you." Without waiting for further details, Amelia hung up and quickly ran to the yard. The sound of her kids' laughter echoed through the yard as Leo pushed them on the swing. For a moment she hesitated, with everything going on between her and Leo she didn't want to leave her kids with him not that she thought he was going to harm them, he was their father so obviously he couldn't. She just didn't want her kids to grow too fond of him, but Cindy's grandmother's voice on the phone sounded serious, and this situation could be a blessing in disguise for her. “Leo!” She called, trying to keep her voice calm. Leo turned, lifting Liam off the swing with ease. “Yeah?” “I need to head out for a bit. Something came up,” she said, holding up her phone. His expre

    Amelia sat, her eyes fixed on her phone, the name Sophia glowing on the screen. The anonymous message echoed in her mind, sending a chill down her spine. After much thought, she hit the red button. She needed time to process everything before having any conversation with Sophia. She suspected the call was about the acquisition process of her company. Sophia might have likely seen Cindy's revelation of who designed her dress online and was anxious to know if Amelia had change her mind on selling. Amelia placed her phone on the bedside table and lay down, her thoughts were racing about whether Sophia had something to do with Elise’s death. Eventually, she drifted off. The next morning, her kids’ excited voices woke her up. She rushed into their room, only to find them watching an interview with Cindy from the red carpet on Liam’s phone. “Mommy, you’re on the news! You made a magical dress! It's trending online," Liam said, his voice full of joy. Ella joined in, “Mommy, the d

    Amelia took a deep breath and sat down, her hands trembling slightly. She needed to determine whether the cryptic message she had received was genuine, but how could she find out? She had tried texting the anonymous sender but had not yet received a reply. Just as she was trying to collect herself, her phone buzzed with a notification. It was a text from Leo. “Hey, Amelia. Any chance you are free tonight? Let's have dinner when you clock out from work just you and me. This is my second wish, and you can't turn me down.” Amelia paused, rereading the message and checking the name of the sender to be sure it was actually from Leo. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips. She had almost forgotten about Leo's “three wishes.” Her mind was still caught up in the chaos of the day, the confrontation with Sophia, the cryptic message, and the shadow of Elise's death. Yet, as she stared at Leo's message something in her softened. Maybe she needed this, a moment to step away from

    Leo claimed her mouth in a kiss that was rough and filled with longing, devouring her like a hungry wolf that had been starved for days. Amelia matched his intensity, intertwining her fingers in his hair while moaning between the kisses. His hands moved up her body, exploring every inch as if he had been waiting for this moment forever and had finally gotten the opportunity. She gasped when his fingers brushed her nipple, which was already hard and longing to be licked and devoured by his mouth. She could feel the hardness of his desire pressing against her, only intensifying her own need. “You drive me crazy Amelia Smith,” he murmured against her lips. “I miss you and I don’t want to hold back tonight. I want every part of you baby girl.” “Then don’t hold back,” she quickly replied, her voice barely more than a whisper. “I’m all yours, claim me, Daddy.” Her words made his hormones rise even further. Without breaking the kiss, he hurriedly lifted her and carried her t

    The next day, the news spread online that Sophia committed suicide by hanging herself in prison. It felt strange and heavy but for Amelia, it meant a bitter-sweet relief. She woke up with a slight headache, the sunlight streaming through the curtains. Last night memories flooded through her mind—Leo's warm embrace, his apology and reassurance, the soft kiss that stirred long-hidden feelings. Her cheeks warmed and the color turned a shade of pink. She reached out for Leo who was already awake, sitting against the headboard with a look of concern etched on his face. “Morning, beautiful,” he said softly, studying her face for any signs of distress. “Morning,” Amelia replied, blushing and rubbing her temples. “What happened last night? I remember bits and pieces.” That was a lie, she remembered every single detail but just wanted to play innocent. Leo smiled gently. “You had a little too much fun celebrating your aunt's recovery. But it was a good night for us.” Ame

    A month later, Aunt Elsa’s condition had stabilized. The surgical wound had nearly healed, and all that was left was some aftercare. Once home, she could take her medication and recuperate slowly without needing further hospitalization. Early that morning, Amelia went to the hospital to handle Aunt Elsa’s discharge procedures. In the hospital room, Aunt Elsa was sitting on the bed, watching TV. Seeing Amelia come in, Aunt Elsa smiled and said, “You’re just in time. Come and see this.” She pointed to the TV. Curious, Amelia looked over and saw the news playing. A familiar face appeared on the screen, and the host’s flat, detached voice filled the room. “Recently, the sensational murder case has concluded. The primary culprit, Sophia Jones, has been found guilty of her crime." "Due to the severity and serial nature of the case, she has been sentenced to life imprisonment.” Amelia blinked rapidly, her thoughts swirling as she tried to process the news. Life imprisonm

    That night, Aunt Elsa woke up. Blake checked on her and found her condition better than he had expected. Perhaps Amelia’s persistence had truly moved the heavens, as the cancer cells had cleared, and even the memory loss Blake had anticipated wasn’t present. It all seemed too good to be true. When Amelia heard the news, she was naturally overjoyed. Leo also heard about Elsa’s successful surgery. He didn’t say much, but that night, he quietly ordered the kitchen to prepare a few extra dishes, silently celebrating Elsa’s recovery. Amelia had agreed to marry Leo to secure Blake’s help for Aunt Elsa. Now that Aunt Elsa was nearly healed, Amelia realized her relationship with Leo was a temporary fix. She knew she had to find a way to completely cut ties with him. That night, Amelia decided to cook a few dishes herself. To prevent anyone from interrupting her plan, she sent the children out with Eleven for the night. Then, she dismissed the household staff Leo had hired for th

    As Inspector Ralph led Sophia to the police station, her heart raced with a mix of fear and disbelief.Soon, they arrived, and one of the officers led her into the interrogation room and gestured towards a chair, "Miss Jones, please take a seat. Inspector Ralph will be here shortly."With that he left, leaving her all alone in the room. The cold, bare room did nothing to calm her racing heart it only made her heart beat faster with each passing second.The walls were painted a dull gray, and the only light was a flickering fluorescent bulb that buzzed overhead. The smell of cleaning products filled the air, making her even more anxious.She never imagined that one day she would end up in this kind of situation. She stood up to reduce the pacing of her heart and her trembling fingers.Soon, the door opened and Inspector Ralph walked in. Sophia sat down, trying to stay calm and composed. "What kind of nightmare is this?" She thought. "Can I wake up already?" She pinched herself and

    She said in a calm voice, “You didn’t do anything wrong, and I don’t need your apology.” Once, those words had been what she wanted most, but now they meant nothing to her. The bitterness of the past clung to her like a heavy fog. She’d never considered forgiving him, so how could she accept it? After Amelia finished speaking, Leo felt a tightening in his chest. He ran a hand through his hair, frustration coursing through him as he processed the weight of her words. “Don’t say that. We were all kept in the dark before. Now that the truth is out, you know I didn’t do those things on purpose, right?” he said quickly, his voice rising slightly. Amelia sneered. “Yes, you didn’t do it on purpose, but can the pain I suffered over the years be forgotten? Leo, you didn’t personally send someone to kill us, but back then, you did divorce me because of Sophia, didn’t you?” “I can’t hate you, but I can never forgive you. We can’t pretend those years never happened. Neither you nor I c

    The sentence made both Amelia and Leo furrow their brows. They exchanged curious glances, wondering what could prompt Black Cobra to say such a thing. Leo’s gaze hardened as he made a decision. “Pardon the living, punish the dead.” With those words, he signaled his agreement to Black Cobra’s condition. Black Cobra breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had a chance to keep living to protect his family. He knew his death would endanger their lives, and he couldn’t risk it. He then revealed the secret he’d been hiding. “The accident that led to your best friend Damien's death had nothing to do with Amelia. She wasn't the one responsible." The revelation left them both stunned. Relief washed over Amelia. Damien’s death had nothing to do with her; while surprising, Black Cobra’s words intrigued her even more. Still, she was curious to know who had caused the accident that led to Damien's death and why they’d framed her. With questions swirling in her mind, she looked at

    After getting out of the car, James opened the door, and they walked into the building. As soon as they entered, Amelia’s first impression was the smell of blood. The lights turned on, revealing a man lying on the marble floor of the living room, covered in blood. His hair clung together with sweat and blood, and both of his hands hung limply, possibly broken. His legs twisted in an unnatural position, making him look grotesque. Amelia felt as if she had seen him from somewhere. Leo gestured to James, who stepped forward and brushed away the hair covering the man’s face, revealing the person who had kidnapped her before. “How did he end up here?” Amelia asked in disbelief. Leo glanced at her. “What do you think?” It suddenly dawned on Amelia that Leo’s promise of a show tonight referred to this. Her eyes turned cold. She wasn’t a saint and wouldn’t sympathize with someone who had tried to harm her. “Who sent you to kidnap me?” she asked, her voice icy. Black Cobra had

    On the ground, lay a mobile phone from which Sophia's voice echoed. “Have you taken action? This is your last chance Cobra, I won’t allow any more mistakes,” Sophia said sharply. Black Cobra replied coldly, “Don’t worry. This time, either she dies or I perish.” After several failures, Black Cobra’s patience had worn completely thin. Combined with Sophia’s relentless pursuit and threats, he felt trapped with no way out. He knew that failure was not an option this time, the future of his family hung in the balance, and the pressure weighed heavily on him. After speaking, Black Cobra picked up the sniper rifle. He believed that as long as Amelia dared to come out, he could kill her. Even if he was caught afterward, he would not regret it. Sophia listened to the commotion on the other end and breathed a sigh of relief before hanging up the phone. Meanwhile, at Wilson’s Domestic Group, Amelia was about to leave the office when her assistant informed her of Leo’s presence in t
