Amelie arrived home later than day with a puffy face and red eyes.The lights were off and the house was quiet.It was obvious that Miguel and Michelle were fast asleep. Gently tip toeing over to their room, she cracked the door open slightly and stepped inside, seating at the edge of their bed and stroking their head gently, not wanting to wake them."Michelle, Miguel, mommy won't be able to make your wish come true. You won't be able to have Zacharie LaCroix as your new daddy." She whispered."Mommy will be the only one to be there for you from now on." She promised, the words leaving a sour taste in her mouth.She didn't want to be the only one, she wanted Miguel and Michelle to have a happy family. Just like the dream she had of them all being in one big happy house."I'm sorry, guys."As she apologized, a tear rolled down her cheek and landed on the bedsheet, staining the fabric.Wiping the remaining tears, Amelie leaned forward and kissed her children's forehead, smiling slightl
The week following the whole disastrous event was unnaturally peaceful.Amelie didn't complain as it gave her enough time to secretly look for a new place for she and the twins without them knowing anything about it and it also gave her enough time to gather her things and once again, secretly some of their.The reason why she was doing things in secret from them was because the last time they had moved from England back to France, the twins had thrown a fit, refusing to leave after just settling down perfectly in their new school.And right now, it was a silly case of Deja Vu.“Not gonna go around and say your farewells." Florence asked as she slipped Into Amelie office while she was packing the last of her things."I'd rather not." Amelie replied, glancing around."Well, at least bid me goodbye." Florence said and opened her arm for a hug.Amelie chuckled and went in, encasing the younger female in a p*ssionate hug for a few seconds before dressing back."You'll make an amazing team
Florida was a place more comfortable than Amelie could have expected. It had sunny beaches and humble neighbors and fresh air.Although it could not hold a candle when being compared to the beauty of Paris, she was growing to love it here and it was growing on her children as much as it was growing on her.Two years, Amelie and the twins has been living in Florida for the past two years, and in these two years, she had managed to find a job and earn a lot of money and even opened her own hospital.The children were enrolled in a private elementary school each in their final years of elementary and they were having a blast.It was perfect and Amelie couldn't be more happier.At least, that's what she wanted to believe.She had a feeling her happiness was yet to come, but for now, this would have to do."Mommy, when's dinner?" Miguel asked as he stepped into the living area, Marco following closely behind.Marco was the German shepherd they had adopted upon moving to Florida. Amelie had
KABOOM!The strike of yet another thunderstorm tore through the skies, forcing Amelie awake. Feeling lightheaded and hot, she managed to peel her eyes open, only to find that she was smothered underneath a stranger in a dimly lit room."Wh-Who are you?" Amelie struggled to ask not noticing her raspy voice soaked with seduce."Who do you think I am?" The man softly kissed her earlobe as he chuckled. His voice was deep and s*xy making her body feel a rush of heat.Amelie couldn't help but clench her legs trying to rub away the strange itch between her thighs. Her brain was a muddle and her body was craving something, something bold but dangerous."Arh-" She moaned out as his lips fell down to her breasts. His kisses started going wild as his hands didn't stop caressing her but tracing down to her virgin land."P-Please don't..." Amelie begged as his finger thrust into her p*ssy. She finally sensed what was going to happen, "I'm not re...""It's too late woman." The man found her lips ag
Eight years later. At Kurenia Hospital.“Thank you all for taking time from your busy schedule to attend this meeting. " The Hospital Director Arthur announced as his gaze wandered the faces of all the top doctors and nurses sitting in the room. "It's my honor to announce that our hospital will be getting a new addition to the surgical team today.""Everyone, please give warm applause for Doctor Amelie Arnuad!”Immediately, the whole room filled up with whispers and uproar.“Am I dreaming? Did the director just say that Amelie Arnuad would be joining us?” One doctor asked.“No way! Amelie Arnaud? The genius doctor who studied medicine for less than three years? I heard that she was the best doctor in the whole of Britain!” Chipped the nurse who sat beside him.Everyone in the room was whispering and talking all about this new colleague. The Rising Star in Medicine, who had emerged five years ago after studying medicine for three years. Her skills far surp*ssed those of doctors who had
Amelie reacted as fast as she could and shoved the man away.She couldn’t believe that she had come here with the pure intention of helping someone out, yet this scumbag dared to try and take advantage of her!Gritting her teeth in anger, she furiously wiped her lips, getting rid of the blood that had sipped through from the fresh wound and wincing slightly.“You scumbag!” She snarled, eyes twisted in complete rage. “How dare you-“ her words were cut off as the man once again stepped forward and pinned her back to the door, attempting to continue his actions from where they had been stopped.Amelie felt rage. Pure rage and without thinking twice, she brought her knee up and kneed him right in his manhood. The man immediately let go of her and staggered backward, hunching over and cupping his place of pain in the process.Amelie watched him as he did this, a smirk slowly forming on her lips.“If I knew you're such a disgusting pervert, I wouldn't have come in to help!” She spat and the
Amelie hadn't expected to run into her stepmother so soon after eight years.Her jaw clenched tightly and her hand which was on the bed railing gripped the iron so hard that her knuckles nearly turned white. She felt her insides burn with anger and hatred, but she tried her best to keep a good composure, reminding herself that she had come here to do her duty as a doctor.She could not let her personal issues get in the way of her profession.Clearing her mind, Amelie fixed her expression, but the same couldn't be said for Audrey who looked totally shocked to see her again after Eight years.Wasn't she...wasn't she meant to be dead?! So how come? Why was she here, fine and alive after she and Chloe had thrown her off the bridge?"You! How are you here?!" Audrey exclaimed in absolute horror, quickly scouting back and away from Amelie's hand in fright.Amelie simply shook her head and sighed. She could hear how frightened her stepmother was by the sound of her voice which wavered.Of co
The results were out!Michelle and Miguel stared at the tablet screen, each refusing to make a single move.This had been what they wanted, searching the nation's gene pool and finally finding out who their father was, but now that the time had come, both children couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over them."D-Do you think..." Miguel began, trying to ignore the way his voice cracked, "Do you think this is really okay?" He asked.Michelle didn't respond. She instead quietly stared at the tablet screen and after a few seconds, was hesitant to click and check the result.Even though they both wanted to know who their father was and what type of man he was, they feared that he'd be a bad person.In their earliest memories, each time Amelie spoke about their father, Michelle, and Miguel could both see the way their mother's face soured and the pain in her eyes even though she tried telling happy stories.The memory of their father was definitely a painful topic for their mother

Zacharie was stunned to hear what she was saying.Eight years ago?He had forced himself on her? Had they met the first time back in the scan room?That didn’t make sense.He hadn’t even been in any woman ever since that night and that woman had committed suicide, had she not?“what the h*ll are you talking about, Amelie?” He finally asked, his brows deepen in confusion.“Don’t play innocent with me, Zacharie. I saw the tape. I know it was you.” She said, taking a step forward and jabbing her index finger into his chest.Zacharie’s eye twitched and he grabbed her hand. “Look, I don’t know what kind of nonsense you’re spewing, I haven’t slept with any woman in eight years, not even Odette.”“Liar.” She sneered and ripped her hand out of his grip. “You’re a lying scumbag. I’m not the only one that knows the truth.”“The truth?”“That you tainted an innocent girl, Zacharie. That night, I begged you to stop. I knew nothing of my step mother and sister’s plot and I begged you, I tried reas
"Zacharie LaCroix." Amelie uttered, her voice barely above a whisper. "Zacharie LaCroix..."As the video continued, and showed the two of them leaving the hotel, Amelie remained speechless, her mind a mess and her body unmoving.Her thoughts were jumbled and she felt the need to throw up.How could she not have seen it?It was obvious from the beginning.Now that she thought hard about it, Miguel was similar to Zacharie in some ways. The mole underneath his eyes, the same eye colors and even Michelle had some similarities to him.They both shared the same blood diseases.Like father like daughter.Just the thought of that alone almost made Amelie throw up."Oh my God." She breathed, finally standing up.Her legs were shaking, her hands trembling and she was sure her heart was beating fast."Calm down." She whispered to herself. "Calm down, it's not real. There has to be an explanation for all of this." She re*ssured herself and stood up, stumbling ever so slightly in her steps and nea
Zacharie kept true to his words, because two days after the entire incident, he showed up at the hospital, ready to begin or at least finalize the procedure of his new treatment plan."So, how is this going to work?" Zacharie asked, leaning back in the chair as he stared at Amelie."Well, the plan is very simple and straightforward, and very easy to execute." Amelie explained. "We'll have you come here and inject a serum I will prepare. This will be a one time process and will only last about thirty minutes.""One time?""Yes." She confirmed. "The serum is simply to cleanse your inner system. After that, a blood transfusion would follow.""I see. And then?""After the transfusion, there will be a period of recovery and rehabilitation, but it's not really necessary. We can skip that step. I'll provide you with some tablets that will help with the process and that will be all." She concluded."However, there is just one problem.""What is it?" Zacharie asked, sensing the worry in her vo
"This is all your fault." Odette accused, turning to glare at Amelie. "I hope you're happy now. You ruined everything. Not only did you cost me my engagement, you also had the guts to show up in such a revealing dress and try to seduce my fiance. What a shameful b*tch.""Odette that's enough!" Zacharie fiercely demanded. "Haven't you done enough?""You're right. I have. And I'm sorry. It was just... vitamins I slipped in. I went to the doctors the other day and they recommended some vitamins for you. But I knew you wouldn't take anything that has not been prescribed by your doctor so I tried to slip it in. I'm really sorry." Odette begged."Just vitamins, huh?" Zacharie asked and snapped his finger. Instantly, Eric appeared with the gl*ss of wine and handed it to Zacharie. "If you say so, then drink it.""W-what?""Drink it." Zacharie repeated."I-""I'm sure there's no harm if it's just a few vitamins.""Zach, are you kidding? It's a full gl*ss.""It is. But if it's just vitamins, li
"This drink is contaminated?" Zacharie questioned. "What do you mean by that?""Well the thing is..." Amelie began, looking like she was hesitant to speak. "The thing is..."Before she could complete her word this time around, Odette quickly took her hand and dragged her away."What are you doing? Let go." Amelie demanded, trying to pull her hand free.Odette did not comply until they were separated from the crowd, standing someplace near the balcony."What are you doing?" Amelie asked once more."I could say the same for you." Odette challenged, folding her hand over her chest."What?" Amelie blinked twice, not understanding."Why did you say that the drink is contaminated? What's your purpose for lying?""I didn't lie." Amelie retorted, clearly remembering what she has seen when she stepped out of the balcony.Odette had dropped something into the wine gl*ss, and although Amelie couldn't figure out what exactly it was, she wasn't about to just let Zacharie drink whatever concoction
Over the weekend and until she was discharged, Amelie continuously told herself not to misunderstand Zacharie's words.He had only said all that in a bid to calm the rowdy twins down and it meant nothing.She continued to tell herself that, dissuading both her heart and head from growing any sort of attachment to the words that meant nothing. That reality however, was smacked even harder in her face as the day she got discharged and went home, she was met with an invitation letter from Odette.Her birthday was tomorrow and Zacharie was holding a banquet for her and she had been invited.Staring at the letter in her hand, Amelie felt sore. She had nearly forgotten the fact that Zacharie had a fiancée who loved him very much.Not only that, she was pretty and kind and everything in all that could make a perfect wife. Unlike her, an already spoilt product.Amelie gritted her teeth at the comparison. Why was it angering her so much?Why did it have to do with her if Odette was a perfect w
