CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO

Jackson rose to his feet as soon as his uncle came in; Amelia followed suit, smiling as the man took her in very suspiciously.

She had told Jackson that it would have been better if they met alone but he had insisted on her presence.

He wanted her to be a judge of the man in front of them and that is what she was going to be.

“Hello uncle… meet Amelia, my girlfriend” Jackson introduced.

The man raised an eyebrow slightly but Amelia watched him relax a bit before he smiled in her direction.

“It is a pleasure to meet you, Amelia… my name is John” he told her.

Amelia smiled, shaking the hand he offered and then taking a seat.

They had prepared dishes that she was sure he was going to enjoy and she watched his eyes light up as he picked up the fork in front of him.

Jackson on the other hand was watching him like a tiger would watch a prey it was about to make dinner. He did not like the idea of inviting him over for anything but he had to figure out if the man

    CHAPTER SEVENTY FOURJackson sat alone in his dimly lit living room after Amelia departure, his mind swirling with conflicting thoughts and emotions. He has not wanted to dwell on what his uncle, John had mentioned about Amelia and the whole concept of their relationship but he could not help thinking about it now that he was alone.The whole idea of marriage to him was a foreign concept and one he did not want to ever get involved in. He like the freedom that came with being single or getting into a contract, knowing fully well that he held all the cards should incase there was something the woman involved wanted that wouldn’t fly.It had gone well for his father and the others before him and it was a family tradition, one that he had been comfortable with following through with in the past but now he was skeptical about it and because he was deeply in love with her.He had to admit to himself that he had come to love her more than anything and he wouldn’t want something like a contr

    CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVEThe early morning sun cast a warm glow over the quiet area as Anna stood outside Amelia's door, her hand trembling slightly as she raised it to knock. It had been a restless night for her, filled with swirling thoughts and a kaleidoscope of emotions. She had barely slept, her mind consumed by the unexpected turn her life had taken.Amelia's door swung open, and there stood her friend, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Anna, what on earth are you doing here so early?" she asked, stifling a yawn.Anna blinked, her eyes taking in Amelia’s appearance and realizing that maybe this was a damn bad idea. Sh took a deep breath, her words tumbling out in a rush.“Amelia, I am so sorry for waking you up this early but I really need to talk to someone before my shoot today and honestly you are the only one I know here save for Liam and he is the reason why I am here. It is very confusing and I don’t want to make another mistake so if I could please just hear your take on the

    CHAPTER SEVENTY SIXSophia was expecting Jackson and as she stood in the center of her living room, she was unsure of what to say to him and the actions to give that would mitigate the tension that was going to be crawling all over them.The last time she had spoken or seen him was during the interview where he had made a mess of her life and where she had realized that all her plans had been for nothing. She was going to continue being the penniless girl that she was before and after she met him and took his father’s money.She smiled to herself as she took one last round tour around the house she had come to call home. The walls seemed to close in on her, suffocating her with the weight of the public’s judgment and she could feel their distaste for her as they feasted in front of her home, waiting for the slightest of reactions from her.Well, they were going to see a reaction today because she was leaving the country, going somewhere nobody would know of the crimes she had committe

    CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN It wasn’t that Amelia was anxious… okay, maybe she was just a little bit.A little bit however would not result into her pacing the length of her apartment as she waited for Jackson who had promised to stop by after his business with Sophia. She had decided after her conversation with Anna that she was going to confront him about their relationship and how much further he wanted it to go.He had said he liked her and the feeling was exactly mutual but she wasn’t sure it was enough to assuage her fears about the fact that he might not want to pursue something deeper than just a relationship.She wouldn’t be asking for too much to confirm if this was going to go further or if she was going to be part of the Logan’s family contract of never involving themselves too much with women. She wondered who the darned person is that had started such fucked up contract and knowing fully well that she would never be able to live with not having love in her marriage or knowin

    CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHTThe phone by his bedside woke an angry Jackson early the next morning. He had a hangover from drinking himself to stupor the previous night after Amelia’s rejection.He had been unable to convince her to stay with him even when he was sure he could not commit to her idea of a marriage.“Hello” he muttered harshly into the receiver.“What are you still doing in bed?” Liam’s voice came through.“My father died… I think I am liable to take few days off work, don’t you think?” He snapped.“You are angry about something… what is it?” Liam asked“That is none of your business, Liam… what the fuck do you want?” He asked.“You might need a new assistant; Celine phoned me this morning when she could not reach you. She said Amelia resigned and I can only guess that is the reason for your sour attitude. It did not go well, did it?” he asked“No, now tell Celine that she can have her old job back. I am going back to sleep, thank you for calling”“You… come on, Jack. You are

    CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE Amelia knocked on her parent’s door, her heart beating frantically in her chest as she waited for a response. She had not informed them that she was coming over or she was moving permanently back home. She just wanted to be away from Jackson before she did something as stupid as going over and begging him to reconsider his decision. She understood where he was coming from but she could not accept that she would never have the joyfulness in marriage that she always wanted and she was timed… it was too much for her to bear. She had stopped by the office to drop off her resignation letter and she had seen the confused look in Celine’s eyes as she gave her the slip of letter she had perfectly crafted. She guessed the woman could finally be happy that she was no longer there to take her job. “Why are you dropping this off with me and not Jackson?” she had asked, staring suspiciously at her. “Please just give it to him and tell him…” Amelia paused, looking for word

He missed her more than he could admit and he realized after her departure just how much he always wanted to see her at work and how much she wanted to hold her hands… hear her voice and hug her.He tried calling her number one last time but was redirected to her voicemail again like every other time.“You cannot avoid me forever” he muttered to himself, dropping the phone beside him

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. It has made him see his baby again and realized how much he wanted her back for himself.Oh, the things he planned to teach her and make her do to him. 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?”

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENAnna could the loud screams that was hers as she watched the car drive away with Amelia.Her heart pounded violently against her chest as she clutched the phone, her trembling fingers struggling to dial the numbers. 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

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
