"Amelia has always loved you, she couldn't stand seeing you and Jenny Cole together, so she asked me to… at first I refused, then she threatened me with my father, so I had no choice.” Benson spoke out with his head faced down.“What evidence do you have?" Alex's gaze was sharp on him. Benson laughed bitterly, and struggled to sit up from the floor. “Mr Hall, if there was evidence, do you think I would be willing to take up the rape charge and go to jail? Alex stamped his feet on the ground and got up angrily. “If you dare to have half a false word in all you said, I'll make your life worse than death." "Ahhhh!” Benson let out a loud scream that echoed the room. He shouted in pain, “Mr Hall, I would never dare to lie to you… Alex's facial expression was gloomy and terrifying, he kicked him over and turned away, walking out of the door.Amelia was looking for death! The rumble of his car engine scared the passersby to make way, his speed was almost 120mph, the man's deep pond eye
Suddenly Alex was interrupted by his cell phone that rang in the hallway. His bloodthirsty eyes already regained a bit of clarity, he had come back to his senses. He looked at Amelia's flushed face and let her go, throwing her harshly to the couch. Her body was so weak that she didn't have the strength to move her body. She exhaled deeply, and got choked on the air that passed through her throat. She looked at Alex with panic in her eyes, she was thankful that she managed to escape, “he was really going to kill me” she bit her bottom lips. Alex looked away and picked up his phone from the centre table, looking at the name on the screen made him hesitate for a few seconds.“Maurice?What's up with him now?" Ryan mumbled to himself.Even though Maurice was his half brother, he has never had any meaningful discussion with him, or contacted him privately before. “Hello brother,” The man on the other side of the phone spoke up in a low voice, “I just found out the cause of our father's
They did not just die in a car accident, the accident has something to do with the Cole's family!” Alex said, and clenched his fist tightly.“How could that be…” Jenny was shocked by what he just said.Jenny has been the adopted daughter of the Cole's family for so many years, even though she had always been dissatisfied with her adoptive parents for loving her half sister, Amelia so much more, she had to admit that her family were very honest and kind hearted.They won't even be able to hurt an ant, not to talk of involving themselves in someone's death, and being the Hall's family that they were very close to… But now that Alex has already said so, wouldn't it be a pity that she takes advantage of the whole situation? She thought, and smirked inwardly. She seemed to be lost in thoughts, and did not know how to speak up.Alex became aware of her uneasiness and gently caressed her hair. “Are you okay, Jenny?"Jenny had already come to a conclusion, Alex, there's something I never wa
There was long silence from the other end of the phone, “It doesn't matter, Alex must be very busy with work, after all it's just between a mother and her daughter, Mum misses you.”“I miss you too mum." Amelia replied with a low voice. After hanging up the call, she bursted into tears. She wasn't asking for too much, whether it was from her parents or from the man that she loved so much, all she ever wanted was love, care, and consideration. Unfortunately, the man she loved was never willing to grant her such little wish. ****Amelia's villa was just on the other side of the town. On her way, she specially bought her dad's favorite drink and snacks, and when she arrived, it was already time for lunch.Eva Cole hadn't seen her daughter for a long time. She felt bad seeing her daughter looking skinnier, and kept asking her to eat more of the dishes she liked.Amelia dared not to give her mother a direct answer to her questions. She was pregnant, but she didn't know how to say it.“I
Three years ago, her wedding with Alex shook the entire Southern city, The Cole's eldest daughter, getting married to the Hall’s young successor, who wasn't envious of her?Now, when everyone talked about them three years ago, their words were full of mockery and envy.To think of it, who would ever believe that after three years of marriage, Amelia would practically live without her husband.Amelia struggled to suppress the doubts in her heart and maintained her grace and elegance. Those times when she would visit Alex, some of the employees would respectfully call out “Mrs Hall" but now they passed her, and all she could hear was whispers clearly heard by her.“What a pity, that woman is here, Is she going to get a divorce now?”"She probably doesn't know that her husband is with that woman." As she got closer to Alex's office, the bad feelings continued to grow even worse, but she maintained herself.Amelia shook off the secretary who wanted to stop her, she was already close to
It's been a while since she visited this place,not because she never wanted to, but the reason being that Alex always turned down her request to come and see him. Alex’s office was spacious and cozy, the floor- to -ceiling windows held a stunning view of the city skyline. His office was just still the same, every corner of the room was meticulously crafted, indeed a masterclass of luxury, exuding sophistication and refinement.Jenny Cole sat comfortably on his lap, her eyes focused on the phone in her hands. Alex felt unbothered, he wrapped his hands around her waist and played with her hair.Wow! Anyone that entered would love this sweet and romantic scene. Amelia never would have imagined that Alex had time for flimsy things like this, Alex would always be strict with his words to her anytime she wanted to visit. If she hadn't seen this romantic moment with her naked eyes, she'd never believe it if anyone tried as hard to convince her. Anytime she had visited him in the past, h
“Jenny, do you still have a heart? What do you stand to gain saying such despicable things about my dad! You're indeed an ingrate!” Amelia's eyes were bloodshot, filled with anger and disbelief.How could she frame her dad for something he doesn't even know about, Amelia wouldn't be surprised if Jenny was the mastermind behind Alex’s ill behavior towards her and her family.Seeing Amelia's reaction, Jenny Cole was secretly pleased with the fact.“Amelia, do you realize how badly I was treated by Cole's family? I was never treated like his daughter, I was never loved, I was never cared for. Everything I ever wanted was given to you, the Cole's family hates me so much Amelia!” “I endured all the pain, I was treated like a servant, I wouldn't stay in my father's house because I'm just an ordinary adopted daughter” Amelia watched her expression change slowly, and she wondered how she could be so manipulative and dramatic at once. “I've endured a lot, what am I supposed to do? After all
“Don't move, you're still transfusing” a familiar low and gentle voice said to her as she tried opening her eyes. The bright light shone down on her, making her struggle to squeeze her eyes open. The pungent smell of disinfectant and beeping sound of machines made her feel a bit dizzy.“Mrs Amelia, you do really need to take care of yourself. Although your child is saved, it has become very weak and any little mistake, you might miscarry.” He said gently, but his expression was stern.Amelia subconsciously went to her slightly bulged abdomen, and she felt relaxed since her baby was still intact. Her baby was fine and she breathed out.She looked up, his face was familiar, her eyes fell at the imprinted name on his lab coat.“I will take care of myself Dr Louis” Amelia said, with a faint smile that didn't reach her eyes. A knock was heard on the door, and their gaze went to the door at the same time.The door opened, the face was familiar, but recalling anyone was difficult for her
As much as Alex didn't care for Amelia, this was his first child, so he would care for him.Why shouldn't she worry? How can she be at ease?If Alex decides to keep this child, all her plans will backfire, and she will just be tagged as his mistress.Hatred and jealousy filled her heart, but on the outside, she was a different person filled with concern and worry for her sister, Amelia. “My health is not important now, as long as my sister and child are safe I'll be satisfied.”Alex sighed, seeing that Jenny Cole was becoming emotional again.Jenny Cole seemed to be lost in thoughts, as if she remembered something. “Alex, I have no room again right? Since my sister is carrying your child, I don't have to come in between you too right?”She sobbed lightly, almost choking as she coughed. “I'm just an Orphan, I understand the sadness and pain of not having a father. The baby needs a father, Alex, you can't seem to divorce my sister now...”"Who said I wasn't going to divorce her? What no
