CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN

Jackson was at his desk and with Amelia when the phone in front of him began ringing incessantly. His eyes remained fixed on the vibrating phone before him as Sophia’s name flashed on the screen.

He wondered why she was calling and could only guess that it was because she had not received any message from him as to the interview. He knew she was probably shitting her pants in worrying at his nonchalant behavior towards her plans.

He had nothing to say to her of course but that did not mean that he wasn’t pissed by what she had done. Even though he had the perfect plan to upend everything she thought she had done, he still not want the kind of drama her news was bringing.

It meant that he was now once more in public light and honestly after so many years of not being heard from; he found it quite uncomfortable but the damage was done and there was no going back now from anything.

The phone stopped ringing and Jackson sighed, flipping the screen of his phone so he di

She does not want to think about Amelia anymore as that was ruining her concentration so she focused instead on how much this was going to change her world. This interview with over a million people waiting to hear her love story… a toxic non existent love story.She almost laughed out loud at the sheer absurdity of it.The camera began to roll and Sophia posed for it like the damned actress that she was.Across from her sat Natalie, poised with a pen in hand, ready to delve into the depths of Sophia's life.Natalie's voice broke the silence, her tone professional yet warm."I am sure you all are wondering and waiting to hear from Sophia so I am not going to take much time” she began… “Sophia, why don't we start by introducing yourself?

Panic surged through her veins, leaving her in a state of heightened alertness. How could he be here? What was he planning?She knew she should have figured Amelia’s presence meant more than she let on and she was sure the little chit was probably laughing her head off wherever she was at the momentShe watched as he casually took a seat beside her, his gaze focused straight ahead, seemingly unaware of her presence but she knew better. This was the reason why he had not come out to say anything since the first interview. He had been bidding his time and waiting for her to make her greatest move before he came over and ruined it. She wasn’t going to allow that happen though, she was going to do anything within her power to get out of this mess. He had to understand that the woman is never wrong in cases like this; this was wha

    SIXTY TWOAmelia stood in the shadows, a silent observer as Jackson, with unwavering resolve, revealed the truth behind all of Sophia's allegations.The room was tense, and she could feel the palpable fear emanating from Sophia. From her vantage point, Amelia watched as the once-confident woman crumbled under the weight of her own deceit. Amelia could not help but feel a pang of pity for Sophia. She had known her for years and had known her to be a selfless person but it would seem that her love for money and the fact that she wanted Jackson by all means necessary had blinded her to the everything but that. In that moment, Amelia realized that Sophia had likely channeled her lack of love into other things—money, power, and the thirst for control.As the truth unfolded, Sophia's carefully constructed facade began to crumble, and the vulnerability beneath it became painfully evident. The fear etched on her face was no longer a facade. It was raw and genuine. In that moment, Amelia unde

    CHAPTER SIXTY THREEThe drive back from the media house was filled with an awkward silence. Amelia sat in the passenger seat, her mind swirling with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She couldn't shake off the memory of that unexpected kiss or the weight of Jackson's words hung heavy in the air. He had declared her as someone he wanted to be better for, someone he cared about deeply. But why? And what did it mean?They had been no mention of doing anything of that sort and as much as she wanted to barrage him with loads of questions. She decided it was better to remain silent until he was ready to offer an explanation.As they traveled in the comfortable confines of the car, Amelia stole glances at Jackson, trying to decipher the enigma that he had become. She could see the crease of concern on his brow, his eyes focused on the road ahead, It was clear that he, too, was grappling with the aftermath of their shared moment but she could also feel the elation oozing out of him in wa

    CHAPTER SIXTY FOURAmelia was sure of her mistake when she was awoken the next morning by the incessant ringing of her phone, she groaned trying to untangle the sheets that had wrapped itself around the legs. Her eyes remained closed as she groaned again, slapping a hand to her forehead.Jackson had said she should take a break from work for the time being because he was sure people would be looking to photograph her at any given opportunity and he did not want that for her.“I can handle it” Amelia had told him“I know you can but please do this for me”She had agreed albeit very grudgingly which was why she was still in her pajamas and sleeping while her phone bustled beside her.“Fuck it” she cursed and reached for her phone.Her mother had called her fifteen times in the last hour and it could only be because of one thing… she had kissed Jackson!The calling was exactly as she had thought it would be and she had not been disappointed.

I have not forgotten your disrespect with that…”“Brother, can we not put that past us? I am here to talk about how well you bodied the interview and Sophia and to congratulate you on finally getting out from underneath her thumb and then that declaration to Amelia… very tactical. I am not going to lie and say I wasn’t impressed and you almost fooled me”George said, settling down on the couch in front of him“You are here to gloat and do it for all I care but what do you mean by I almost fooled you?” He asked.He was sure he wasn’t going to like wherever his brother was going with that talk.“Your claim of wanting t

Just me and I know it is a trap but there is no way I am going to allow him make good on his threat of sending me Amelia in pieces”“We cannot… I understand what you are saying but we cannot go there alone” Simon told himIt was the first time he and Liam were agreeing on anything “You are right, we aren’t going there alone… I am going on my own. I cannot let anything happen to her”“Nothing will but we have to figure this all out , come up with a plan.

He was hot topic at the moment and he did not need that for his business. It would seem that he had underestimated Jackson. He wasn’t going to let him go scot free; it only meant that he had to kill the guy and the one way to do that was to lure him here to his own tuff.It was going to be easy once he dangled Amelia in front of him like a fucking worm on a hook. He knew the man would come running because he loved her.Damien laughed at this; he was going to enjoy killing Jackson and it was one way to take Amelia if he did it in front of her. She had

It is not your fault and the only thing we can do now is figure out a way to make sure we rescue her unharmed.” Liam told himThey were sitting at the table in a bunch with Natalie supplying snacks as they plotted. She had come along with Simon whom Liam still had not taken a shining to but she had said they had been together when he called so she could not refuse when he asked to accompany her.He wasn’t saying anything but he looked contrite as they tried to figure out what was going on and Jackson could not deny that he needed all hands on deck if he was ever going to see Amelia again.“I don’t think the detective is telling us everything we should

She was unexpectedly calmer than she had thought she would be and she made no move even as Damien touched a hand to her thigh, grinning at her.She had no idea where they were headed and tried to regulate her breathing as much as possible so she did not behind panicking.She knew by now that Jackson would be aware of what had happened and would come for her. She only hoped it wasn’t too late.“You have been specially quiet; aren’t you going to rave and ask me questions?” Damien questioned herHe was surprised at her level of calmness; nay, he was disgusted by it.He wanted her to scream and he wanted to enjoy the terror in her eyes but she wasn’t giving him the satisfaction he craved.She was nothing like the fiery girl he used to know who would scream and curse even as he hit he countlessly.“I promised to do whatever you want; do you want me to ask you questions?”

Fear and panic gripped her as she attempted to call Liam. She was finding it hard to breathe and unable to form coherent thoughts as she waited for him to pick up “God please” she muttered to herself.She wasn’t much of a prayer person but at the moment, she hoped Amelia would be safe and they find her before Damien did something to her or worse killed her.The phone rang once, twice, and on the third ring, Liam's voice finally filled the line. "Hey, Anna, what's up?" he asked casually, unaware of the turmoil brewing on the other end.Anna's breath hitched, her voice barely a whisper, "L-Liam, it's Amelia. She's... she has been kidnapped.

I will be fine and you did say that the meeting is quite important for work; do not let me be the one to keep you here” Amelia declared“I know you will be fine on your own but I still think I should stay back and maybe reschedule the meeting for…”“For when? Whenever Damien is not chasing after me? Don’t think about doing that and just go for your meeting. I will be fine and he has absolutely no idea that I am here so what could go wrong” she interrupted“Fine, I will be back in a jiffy so don’t go anywhere” Anna warned, taking the stairs in twos so she could prepare for the meeting.It was impromptu but it was important and although she wanted to stay home to watch over Amelia, she also had to consider her job and it is as Amelia had said.

I started looking into his operations, and it wasn't easy. He is elusive, leaving no traces behind, but I managed to uncover some crucial information."Jackson's eyes widened with surprise. "You investigated Damien already? Why didn't you tell me?" he asked“Of course I investigated him; how would you think I would after hearing all he had to say that evening. I needed to know what we were up against and how best to address the situation” Liam told him“So? What are we up against?” Jackson questioned. “What did you find out?” His curiosity now piquedLiam leaned forward, his voice hushed.“His full name is Damien Lodge and he is a well known drug dealer.

Is there anything I can get you?” Anna asked as she opened the door to her friend’s room who had not come out in days “I don’t need anything; thank you for asking” Amelia muttered, her eyes drowsing from sleeping too much “I know you don’t but is there not a way or anything I can do to get you out of that bed? You have been like this for days and it is scaring me; when was the last time you had a fucking bath” She questioned, her eyebrows shooting up in concern.Amelia groaned. She did not want to talk about what was bothering her, only that she wanted to be left alone to her misery and fears but if there was one person who would understand seeing as she had accommodated her when she had run out on Damien then it was going to be Anna.Amelia could see that she was waiting for an explanation or a lifeline but she did not know how exactly to begin talking about it without falling apart and she wanted no one to tell her she was e
