Married To The Conqueror Chapter 7
The morning sun streamed in through the curtains as Amelia slowly awoke, stretching and checking her phone. She was greeted by a text from Harrison: "Good morning! I hope you have a wonderful day today." His simple thoughtfulness made her smile.Despite the wounds of betrayal still feeling raw, Amelia felt a new sense of hope after connecting with Harrison's warmth. She resolved not to let the darkness consume her fully. Swinging her legs off the luxurious bed, she decided to treat herself to a day out.After a quick breakfast, Amelia drove her sleek black sedan downtown to the grand Canyon Creek Mall. The towering glass atrium gleamed in the sunlight, beckoning her inside the sprawling shopping mecca. She pulled into the underground parking garage, her heels clicking on the polished concrete floors.The cavernous garage was oddly empty of other cars or people. An inexplicable chill went down Amelia's spine in the shadows. Shaking it off as just her imagination, she walked bris

Opening up more, she described her family's callousness. "Everything changed so quickly - Alexander's betrayal, Isabella taking over as heir. My parents used to dote on me, or so I believed.""Now they treat me as an inconvenience." Harrison shook his head. "I don't understand how they could be so cold. You clearly have a brilliant mind for business.""Their loss will be my gain." He smiled at her. "Who knows - maybe we'll launch an enterprise that leaves your family's in the dust." Amelia had to laugh at the bold proclamation. She appreciated Harrison envisioning a future where her talents could shine."You may come to regret saying that when I propose crazy ventures," she joked. They bantered playfully about potential ideas, from novelty pet products to gourmet food trucks. For the first time since her world imploded, Amelia felt a spark of excitement about what lay ahead."In all seriousness, I admire your entrepreneurial spirit," Harrison said sincerely. "I want you to kno

That night, after Amelia's encounter with Harrison at the mall, she arrived back at the imposing Davidson family estate as dusk settled over the manicured grounds. Inside, the cavernous mansion was silent, only her footsteps echoing on the polished marble floors. She was relieved to find her family absent from the halls and sitting rooms, wanting solitude after the emotional rollercoaster of the last few days.Once in her suite, Amelia changed into a comfortable silk nightgown and sat at the antique vanity to brush out her long hair. She still felt unsettled from the odd sense of being watched at the mall earlier. Pushing the uneasy feelings aside, she took out her phone to text Harrison, letting him know she was home safe, as he had requested. Soon his reply came through: "Glad to hear it. Sleep well, Amelia."She wrote back goodnight and climbed into the plush king bed, switching off the bedside lamp. Silvery moonlight filtered in through the tall windows overlooking the garde

The week following her unsettling dream passed slowly for Amelia. She fell into a new routine, the haze of her previous life receding day by day. Though the path forward remained unclear, encouraging calls from Harrison gave her the will to keep placing one foot in front of the other.He gently pushed her to focus on goals only she could define, not what others demanded.

The sun was dipping low when Amelia returned to the imposing Davidson family estate after spending a carefree afternoon in Harrison's company. Their time together always seemed to fly by, hours vanishing like mirages. Pulling up the winding driveway, she spotted her father's sleek black town car parked prominently before the grand entrance. With a sinking feeling, she realized he must have arrived home early while she was out.Inside, her footsteps echoed hollowly on the polished marble floors. The cavernous rooms were conspicuously empty - no servants bustling about, no sounds of her mother or sister chatting. An oppressive stillness hung in the air.Approaching her father's study, Amelia froze when she heard his voice within, tersely conversing with someone. She lingered outside, reluctant to interrupt.The tone of the discussion was impossible to discern through the heavy wooden doors. But she could tell his mood was irritable, words clipped and impatient.After several minu

Amelia sat alone in her bedroom after the disastrous confrontation with her father, mind churning with turmoil. His cruel ultimatum echoed relentlessly in her thoughts - sever ties with Martha or lose everything.How could she abandon the woman who had been more of a mother than her own aloof parents?

Amelia sat by the hospital bed, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Martha, her beloved maid who had been with the family for decades.Martha was like a second mother to Amelia, having cared for her since she was a little girl. Now in her mid fifties, Martha had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, the treatment for which would cost a fortune. Amelia grasped Martha's frail hand in hers. "Don't you worry about a thing. We'll pay for whatever treatment you need, money is no object. You've been part of our family for so long, we'll make sure you get the absolute best care."Martha smiled weakly, gratitude shining in her eyes. "You're too kind, dear. But don't go spending all your money on an old woman like me. As long as I get to see your smiling face, I'll be at peace."Amelia shook her head firmly. "Nonsense. We're going to fight this, and you'll be back to bossing me around in no time." They both laughed softly at the long running joke about Martha's mothering.

The callous cruelty of her words mixed with their undeniable truth left Amelia reeling. This was her own family, yet she had never felt so rejected and alone. Her knees buckled and she sank down onto the polished stair, gasping back sobs as tears blurred her vision. She had tried to be resilient, but the pain welled up to choke her. Hands covering her face, Amelia wept in utter despair.Amelia's resentment towards Isabella went deeper than just the Alexander situation. The roots of their animosity could be traced back to childhood. Isabella had come to live with them when they were both very young girls, after the death of their father's estranged cousin. With no other family to take her in, their father agreed to raise Isabella as his own. On the surface they lived as sisters, but in truth Isabella had always been more rival than sibling to Amelia. She was fiercely jealous of Amelia's status as the true heiress, while she was just a charity case. Their father's wealth and pre

The morning sun filtered through the curtains as Amelia awoke to her phone chiming with an incoming text. Still bleary eyed, she reached for it and saw a message from Harrison that said simply, "Good morning, I hope you slept well." Despite herself, a little smile turned up the corners of her mouth. She texted back, "Good morning to you too. I did sleep quite well, thanks." After getting ready for the day, her phone rang. Seeing it was Harrison, she felt a now familiar flutter of nerves. "Hello Harrison," she greeted him."Good morning again," he replied, sounding cheerful. "How does meeting for coffee this morning sound?""That would be nice," Amelia said. "Why don't we go to the cafe from yesterday? I quite enjoyed it there.""Excellent idea," Harrison agreed readily. "Shall we say 10 am?" They finalized the plans and Amelia couldn't deny she felt lighthearted at the prospect of seeing him again. Though hesitant to open up too quickly, she was drawn to continue their engagin
