CHAPTER FOURTY TWO

It was the weekend and with nothing to do, Amelia decided to sleep in and then when she was tired of sleeping, she ordered take outs, closed the curtains of her home so it gave a dark room effect and decided to watch her favorite Bridgerton show on Neflix.

She was sniffling tears at the conversation between the viscount, Anthony and lady Kate when her doorbell rang, interrupting her otherwise uneventful day.

She was not expecting anyone and did not like her movie interrupted.

The sharp jingle of the door bell again annoyed her even more

“Coming” she snapped, rousing from where she sat to get it

“Sophia!” she gasped, her eyes surveying the woman.

“Surprise?” Sophia smiled, her eyes taking in her appearance.

She had come against her friend’s warning because she had been curious as to why Amelia of all people.

Since her conversation with Jackson where he had all but run her out of his home, she had been curious to know exactly what he saw in Amelia that would make him

    FOURTY FIVE“What are you doing here?” Jackson asked as soon as Sophia stepped out of their midst to get some drinks.“I should be asking you the exact same question, don’t you think?” Amelia counteredShe was pissed that he was here and she could only guess that this was the reason Sophia has invited her out. To show her that she could still get Jackson to do whatever she wanted and there was nothing she could do about it.“I was having a rough day and decided to come out here” Jackson told her.There was no point in informing her about the contract between him and Sophia, solely because he knew that she would not believe a word that came out of his mouth.“Isn’t that like really awfully convenient seeing as this is the same club in the whole of Chicago that you get to meet Sophia. You know she did mention that you both always come here to have fun and she was sure you must have stopped coming since the issue between you both but as far as I can see, she is wrong” Amelia snapped.She

The very same city where Amelia resided. He is amazed at the sight of the city laid sprawled beneath him and his mind was a jumble of emotions. He had thought about embarking on this trip since the last he and Amelia spoke and she had told him never to contact her again; the very same time he had heard the voice of her boss in the background.He had no idea how she was going to react to the sight of him in her city but he was damned if he was going to allow her make a mistake by falling for her boss. He did not want to admit of course that he had made a mistake and he should have taken the man’s advice when it was offered.He had acquired Amelia's home address from her mother who was in full support of his decision and who had encouraged him to pursue their relationship once more despite his marital status be

    CHAPTER FOURTY SEVENJackson volunteered to take Amelia back home when Sophia expressed her desire to leave mid clubbing. She was not enjoying herself and he had made sure of that by only paying attention to Amelia and getting her drunk.He had no idea why he was allowing Sophia get to him again and why he was using Amelia to get to back at her.“You should not have done that” she told him as they helped a drunk Amelia into a chair.He said nothing in response to her but he could feel her stare on the side of his face. She was glaring at him“You know how much you shouldn’t get on my wrong side if you want me to leave so you can have the pleasurable time you want with this child” she said, waving her hand dismissively in Amelia’s direction.Jackson brought the glass he had been holding to his lips and took a deep slurp, warming his belly.“You are not going to respond? Wow” Sophia snapped.She was not used to being gaslighted like this and that was what Jackson was doing. He knew how

    CHAPTER FOURTY EIGHTAmelia woke up with an excruciating headache, one she wasn’t sure she was going to survive from.Her groan echoed in the brightly lit room as she tried to get up, yelping when another stab of pain invaded her head.Her eyes fluttered open, but she immediately regretted it as a throbbing pain reverberated through her skull. Her temples pounded mercilessly, and she groaned, squeezing her eyes shut again. A haze of confusion clouded her thoughts as she tried to piece together the events of the previous night.As the fog in her mind began to clear, she slowly became aware of her surroundings. Her eyes observed the ceiling, white and absolutely foreign.One, maybe because it was totally higher than the one in her house and the bed felt stranger. Panic surged within her, and her heart raced.How did I end up here? Where the fuck am I? she thought to herselfHer eyes shot open, and she sat up abruptly, scanning the room with frantic eyes. Her breath caught in her throat

    CHAPTER FOURTY NINEThe headache had subsided a bit, Amelia noticed and now she felt really hungry.She had told Jackson that she was going to freshen up before they left the house and to the restaurant for food and he mentioned that he was going to do the same.She had nearly almost kissed him, she thought with her hand reaching out to calm her beating heart.One minute they had been talking about hangovers and the irritating part of waking up with a pounding headache and the next she had… they had…She heaved a sigh, her breath shaky as she gazed at the dress he had supplied for her. She had made him swear that it was Sophia’s and he hadn’t kept her clothes all this while.There had been laughter in his eyes when he showed her the label he had removed from the dress before giving it to her and it had fit perfectly surprisingly.A knock on the door interrupted her; she slipped her legs into the sandals she had worn to the club and opened the door, a smile gracing her face.She watch

    CHAPTER FIFTYThe breakfast had gone well and they were back at Jackson’s home.Amelia could notice the shift between them, they looked quite comfortable with each other and she could think that it was because of them sharing a meal and maybe what she had said.She could feel the renewed purpose in Jackson and was happy she could help him because there was something about him.She had agreed to go with him to see his father but first she had to stop at her house and dress appropriately for the occasion.How did one meet the father of her boss? Who was her friend and maybe she had a crush on?There was no answer to that of course so she wasn’t sure she knew exactly what to wear, except it could not be too revealing. She wanted the man to have a good first impression of her.Amelia turned to Jackson, her voice filled with a hint of hesitation."Jackson, I need to stop by my house quickly before we head over to see your father. There are a few things I need to grab and I definitely have

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. We are going to his own turf and he might as well kill the both of you.” Simon argued“He is right” Liam muttered. “We are going to go in with a plan, Jackson if we are going to have any chance of reaching the both of you alive.”Liam made a couple of phone

It would seem that the man he had asked to do a good job of keeping Jackson off his scent was doing a rather poor one because why the hell was his picture in the fucking news.The fucker had put a bounty on my head, Damien thought as he stared incredulously as the voice of the news presenter droned on. 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

The one that tolerated indiscipline and had allowed her enjoy her years while she was running from him.He guessed he had Jackson to thank for making that open proposal.

By the time he was done, she would never think of fleeing again.He escorted her into the house and straight for the den where he pushed her inside.

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. Damien came and he… oh my God, I am sorry for leaving her all alone in the house but I had to. I don’t know

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. It wasn’t hard getting information on him because he is wanted in about nineteen states for different crimes and no one has been able to pin him to any of the crimes. His empire is

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
