Chloe went downstairs, her mind saw things with anger frustration, emotions she could feel the resentment boiling up inside her. The thought of being sent back to Canada like some discarded object was unbearable. She wasn't going to take it quietly-no, she had to make them understand that she was a force to be reckoned with.As she walked through the dimly lit hallway. her eyes landed on the elegant art pieces that adorned the walls. Each piece was a symbol of the life Alexander had built- a life that Chloe had once been a part of, a life that she felt was being ripped away from her. Her lips curled into a bitter smile. If they thought they could just send her away without a fight, they were sorely mistaken.Without a second thought, Chloe grabbed the nearest vase, a delicate piece of art that had probably cost a fortune. and hurled it to the ground. The sound of shattering porcelain echoed through the house, a violent symphony of her anger. But she didn't stop there. She moved from
After their intimate moment that morning, Amelia lay beside Alexander, feeling a fleeting sense of peace. But it didn’t last long. As they lay in each other’s arms, breathing heavily from their shared passion, Alexander’s phone rang, shattering the silence. He groaned, reluctant to let go of Amelia’s warm body, but the insistent ringing pulled him away. He reached over to the nightstand, glancing at the caller ID before answering. His expression changed from one of relaxation to one of urgency. “What is it?” Amelia asked, her voice soft and slightly worried. “It’s the office,” Alexander replied, his tone shifting from tender to serious in a heartbeat. “There’s an urgent matter I need to attend to.” Amelia sighed, pulling the sheets closer around her as she watched him rise from the bed. “Do you have to go now?” Alexander nodded, already moving to get dressed. “Yes, but I’ll be quick. I’ll come back as soon as possible, and then we can head out together.” He leaned down, planting
Alexander was beginning to feel the strain in his marriage. He noticed how Amelia had been acting differently since that morning. Her usually bright demeanor had dimmed, replaced by a coldness that he couldn't quite understand. After their conversation, when she brushed him off and said she just wanted to be alone, Alexander felt a pang of guilt and confusion. He had no idea what he had done to upset her so much, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. "Amelia," he tried talking to her again, "why are you giving me attitude? What did I do?" Amelia turned to him, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions—hurt, anger, and something else he couldn't quite place. "I just want to be alone, Alexander. Can't you see that? I need space." Her words hit him like a cold splash of water. Alexander sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. He wanted to fix things, to understand what was going on with her, but Amelia's cold demeanor was a wall he couldn't seem to brea
Amelia went to visit her parents. It had been so long since she had last seen them, not since her grandmother's funeral. Her visits had become less frequent, life getting in the way, and the tension in her home made it hard for her to think about much else. The drive to her parents' house was long, but it was peaceful—much needed after everything she had been through. The moment she arrived, her mother opened the door with a warm smile, but Amelia could see the concern in her eyes. They hugged tightly, her mother's arms wrapping around her as if trying to shield her from all the troubles she had been facing. "Amelia, my dear, it's so good to see you," her mother said, leading her inside. The house smelled of freshly baked bread, the familiar scent bringing back memories of happier times. Her father was sitting in his usual chair by the fireplace, a book in hand, but he quickly put it down when he saw Amelia. "Amelia, sweetheart," he greeted her with a tight embrace. "It's been
Alexander frowned, his concern deepening as he watched Amelia struggle with her emotions. He reached out to her, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. “Amelia, please talk to me. I can see something’s wrong.” Amelia turned away, trying to compose herself. She knew she needed to open up, but the constant stress, Chloe’s presence, and now Mark resurfacing, were all too much to bear. “It’s just… everything,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “Chloe, Mark, this house… I feel like I’m losing control of everything.” Alexander’s expression softened. “I know things have been difficult lately, and I’m so sorry for the part I’ve played in that. But I’m here now, and I want to help make things right.” Amelia glanced up at him, searching his eyes for sincerity. “You say that, but how can things be right with Chloe here? She’s not just disrupting our lives, Alexander—she’s trying to take over.” Alexander sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I’ve told Chloe to leave, but you kn
Alexander lay in bed that night, staring up at the ceiling, his mind spinning with thoughts. He could hear the soft, even breathing of Amelia beside him, a sound that usually brought him comfort, but tonight it was just a reminder of how fragile everything felt. He had done everything Sebastian had suggested, gone above and beyond to show Amelia how much he loved her, but there was still that tension, that unspoken worry between them. He thought back to the moment he had presented her with the car and the gifts. The look on her face had been one of pure joy, but as the day wore on, that joy had faded, replaced by the same distance that had plagued their relationship in recent days. He had hoped that by giving Chloe her own space, it would solve their problems, but now he wasn’t so sure. Chloe’s reaction had been troubling. She hadn’t even said a word when he showed her the house. The way she had walked away, her face blank, had left him uneasy. He knew Chloe well enough to recognize
The next day felt almost surreal for Alexander and Amelia. The house was quieter, calmer—a stark contrast to the tension that had filled it when Chloe was still around. Over breakfast, Amelia found herself constantly glancing around, as if expecting Chloe to appear out of nowhere and disrupt the peace they had finally achieved. "So... there's really no more Chloe?" Amelia asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. She looked at Alexander as if she needed him to confirm it one more time. "Yes, baby," Alexander replied with a gentle smile. "She's gone. We can finally move forward." Amelia took a deep breath, feeling a weight lift off her chest. "I can't believe it," she said, almost to herself. "It's like a dream." Alexander chuckled softly, reaching across the table to take her hand in his. "It's real, Amelia. She's out of our lives now, and nothing is standing between us anymore." Amelia smiled, her heart swelling with love for him. She squeezed his hand, savoring the warmth of his
Amelia rushed through the front door, her heart racing from the day’s stress. The quiet of the house seemed heavier now, the peace she had once enjoyed feeling distant. As she walked into the hallway, she noticed a large bouquet of roses and an assortment of beautifully wrapped gifts waiting for her on the foyer table. Her eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, she forgot her worries. With a mixture of excitement and curiosity, she approached the table and picked up the note nestled among the flowers. The scent of the roses was sweet and comforting, offering a brief respite from the tension she’d been feeling. She unfolded the note, her fingers trembling slightly as she read it aloud: "I decided to surprise you. Hope you love the gift, bae. I love you with all my heart." Her voice softened as she spoke the last words, and she felt a wave of warmth wash over her. The note was written in a familiar handwriting, and Amelia’s first instinct was to think it was from Alexander. The
