2024-12-11 08:00:00Cassandra's POV
I had never seen Lachlan in such a sorry state before. Crap, he literally looked terrible—droopy eyes, dishevelled hair, reeking of alcohol and misery. He was a mess, but he was all mine for the taking. Thank you for acting so dumb, Amelia.
He slumped into the couch and leaned his head back.
“Are you okay?” I sat on the edge of the couch.
He pinched the skin between his eyes. “No... I don't know, Cassie.”
Cassie. I missed hearing that name from his lips.
“You need a shower, big boy, or my couch will reek,” I gestured to him. “Get up.”
“I just need a second.” He heaved a sigh, frustrated.
Okay. Seriously, how bad was this argument? I wondered what Amelia said to him.

Amelia “Give me a son,” Lachlan growled into my ear as his hips pistoned harder, driving his hardness deeper into me. I cried out in both anguish and pleasure as my body climbed higher and higher and finally reached the crevice. “Oh God,” I moaned, my nails digging into his back as I clung to him with all my might. I came with a choked sob and Lachlan followed a moment later, gritting out his daily mantra into my ear as he came. “Give me a son.” I had heard those words everyday of my life for the past three years and I was sick of it. Every time, I swore to myself that I’d be stronger and the words wouldn’t affect me, but I failed each and every time. Just like now, I could feel one more crack in my heart as the man I loved; the man I was hopelessly in love with; my husband, with jerked away from my body like I was contagious, shot me an acidic look and stomped off to his room. My husband and I hadn’t shared a bed for more than sex since our marriage three years ago.

Amelia“Green isn’t your color. You should have worn blue,” Lachlan snapped as he approached me.I had been waiting for him at our foyer for over twenty five minutes and he had finally arrived and had jumped right into criticizing me.“I’m S-sorry,” I said, “I can go change.”“There’s no time,” he hissed, “We’re already late enough as it is.” As if he hadn’t been the one to make us late.“You should have employed my sister’s personal shopper like she had suggested for you. She always looks so classy while you look like a pauper.”I held back my retort that I wasn’t sure he would be all that pleased with me dressing like a high class hooker like his sister. I didn’t think I had ever seen Nina Mallory wearing a dress that reached to mid thigh. “Let’s go.” He hissed, “I can’t wait for the day you’ll finally stop embarrassing me.” I followed him with my head down like I was headed to my own execution. It was safe to say that Lachlan’s family hated me. While his mother and sister always

Amelia “You’re awake!” Someone exclaimed in a kind Southern twang. I opened my eyes slowly, disoriented and confused. Where was I? The walls were a plain white and flooded with harsh lights. I winced, trying to understand what was going on. “Where am I?” I asked groggily. “Poor darling,” the accent replied. “you’re in the Maryland hospital.” I turned my head carefully to see a nurse staring down at me worriedly. My whole body hurt but my head felt like someone had taken a hammer to it. “What happened? Why am I here?” “Don’t you remember?” The last thing I remembered was running out of the Mallory house and my husband screaming my name. I remembered feeling terrified and horrified by my actions. Everything after that was a big blur. “You ran into the street and got knocked down by an incoming bike. You’re lucky that the bike was going slowly and you didn’t get yourself killed.” The nurse chided softly. “What were you thinking?” I was thinking that I needed to run as fast as

Amelia“Lachlan, I have good news,I’m pregnant. No- that’s too boring,” I muttered to myself as I hurried into the house excitedly. I couldn’t wait to tell my husband the good news. It was the one thing he had wanted since the beginning of this marriage. The only thing he had hoped for. I believed this would help us get closer, and finally heal the rift between us.But what if he didn’t believe me? The thought immediately halted me, but there was an easy solution to it. I could do a quick pregnancy test now so I could tell him with the evidence. I immediately rushed to my room and dug out one of the kits and followed the instructions then went to find Lachlan.But as soon as I burst into the home office excitedly, my heart dropped to my stomach at the sight before me. My husband was seated on his big leather chair, and on the hand of the chair was none other than Cassie. I froze in shock as her hands slowly undid the the buttons of his shirt, murmuring silky words at him while he l

Lachlan“A divorce?” I repeated blankly. I stilled in shock at the hard look in Amelia’s eyes. It was a look I had never seen before in our three years of marriage. She had always looked at me helplessly and with love and devastation that irritated me so much and made my skin crawl. The last thing I had ever expected was for my wife to be the one to serve me divorce papers tonight. Everything I had done had been to make her miserable in this marriage, but she knew the stipulations on the marriage contract arranged by my late father. She wasn’t entitled to a single dollar of my money if she ever divorced me unless she had given me an heir. So far, she was still the same barren woman from day one. Amelia hadn’t been my first, second or even hundredth choice for a wife. My plan had always been to end up with Cassie. But my father, the manipulative bastard had twisted my hands all the way to his grave and saddled me with this joke of a woman. “Yes,” she said slowly and stepped forwa

Lachlan.I was still in pain and hurt. How she was able to beat me at my game baffled me a lot. At some point, I was almost losing it. I think I need therapy. “I see no reason why you'd always want to keep looking for that miserable bitch. She's not worth all the stress, Lachie; she's not worth it. c'mon” Cassandra's words were beginning to irritate my ears. I couldn't tell what the reason but it was just irritating.At this point in time, I don't feel like talking to anyone. I was hell-bent on bringing her back to the house. If she had left alone, I wouldn't be moved whatsoever, maybe a little though, but she's left with my damn child! My growth, for God's sake! I won't in any way let this go down like that; I never will. “Look, Cassie, you just have to let me be as we speak; it's not making any sense to me that you're always nagging me to death; please let me think!” For the very first time, I lashed out at Cassie. Her countenance changed immediately. I shouldn't have shouted at

Amelia I can't tell where the courage to file for divorce came from. I just know how to do it to save myself, and more so for the sake of my mental health. I can't afford to see him and Cassandra all loved up while I sit down to watch their folly.It'd be very stupid and silly for me to still stay there after all the humiliation he has put me through in the last 3 years of our marriage. I had wanted to break the good news of my pregnancy to him. At least you wanted a son all these years, and I was finally giving him one. I had imagined a series of scenarios in my head; all I wanted was for my husband to love me and treat me like the baby girl I've always been. Nirvana's wildest dreams: Did I imagine a day like this coming? Even if I wanted to fight for a divorce, it would not be so soon. I packed my bag as tears flowed down in torrents. I'll look at the pregnancy kits in my hand, reading the meaning of the results you can show me. It's too much to bear to have to leave the home I'v

Amelia I took a deep breath as I looked around. I never expected Bailey to live in such a beautiful house. I mean, she's a nurse for crying out loud. How the hell does someone who spends all day cleaning up vomit and attending to sick patients have the money to afford such a mansion?“You have a beautiful house, ma.” I complimented her as she ushered me into the living room.“You are probably wondering how a nurse like me who spends all day cleaning up after sick people could afford something like this.” She chuckled, and my face went red.How did she know what I was thinking?! It was probably a wild guess.“Don't worry, I can't read your mind. I've been asked a lot of times by people who visit.”Bailey placed my bag down beside the sofa; we argued for almost five minutes before I finally let her carry it for me.Sigh, this woman is a lot.Don't get me wrong, I love how kind she is, but I guess I'm not used to such kindness. Especially with my current situation.I sat down, and Bailey

Chris’s POVDetective Matthew crushed the cigarette butt on the ashtray and rose to his feet. “Do you mind if you show us your garage?”Roland unfolded white paper. “We've got a permit from the judge.”I'm so screwed. “M—my garage?”Matthew stuffed both his hands in his pockets. “Yeah. Do you have any problem with that?”“N—No. Let's go.” I rubbed the back of my neck. God, please do something. They can't catch me with that GTO. I've already lied to them before.“Are you alright, Mr. Chris?” asked Roland. He was getting on my nerves.“Yeah. Why'd you ask?” I was trying not to get angry, but my tone got the best of me.“Gentlemen, shall we?” Matthew walked out the door a

Chris's POV Something common in Chicago city is that you never have enough peace of mind to finish a damn thing.The wine glass had barely made its way to my lips before I heard a pounding on the door.The time was just 11 am. Who the hell was that?I walked to the door, with my cigar dangling from my lips. “Yo, what's there?” “Police, open up!” came with a European accent.Police? Shit! I spat out the cigar and fanned the air with my hands. “Don't bother about the cigar. We smoke too.” Came the same voice.“Shit.” I picked up the cigar from the floor. “Fuck.”“It's getting cold. Do you mind letting us in for some questions?” The voice asked. He didn't sound hostile, so I guess it's good.I pushed the door back and found two gentlemen in brown and black suits, respectively.“Hello there, Mr. Mallory.” The one with dark hair extended his hand to me.I took it in a firm grip. “It's Chris.”“Ah, Mr. Chris.” The man said. “The name's Detective Matthew. This is my partner, Roland.” Hi

Amelia's POV It could only mean two things—Cassandra Hamm. Cassandra was here?Lachlan could invite her here of all places? But why? I thought he had broken things off with her. That lying …“Let's not jump to conclusions, Amelia. Cassandra was nice enough to give you this.” Lilian said, flipping the paper back and forth.“The only time Cassandra did something nice, she always had an ulterior motive for it.” I dragged my hand through my hair. “I have to find Lachlan.”“I think you should calm down,” Lilian caught my arm when I tried to leave the room. “I can have Mark deliver whatever message we have for Sir Lachlan.”I took back my arm. “No. I have to tell him this face to face.” “Amelia.” Lilian called behind me, but I ignored her.“Have Mark ready the car,” I clenched my fists. “I need to have a word with someone.” Mark was easy on the speed, but I told him to floor it. God was on my side today because there was no traffic today. The BMV arrived at the company, and I helped my

Amelia's POVLilian followed me as I paced the living room. “You have to calm down, Amelia. He'll be home soon.” I dragged my hand through my hair. “I—I… What do I do, Lilian? Do you think he's out there drinking?”Lilian knew the answer. It was clear with the sad look on her face—he was. “I don't know, ma'am.”She lied. Just as I had thought she would.“Have you tried calling him again?” I asked her.Lilian whipped out her phone from her dress pocket. “Yeah. He's not answering.”I squeezed my phone in my hand, upset that the screen had broken when I hurled it at the wall. It wasn't exactly a smart move. “I'm sure he'll call in the morning.” Lilian assured me with a small smile.“Okay.” I muttered under my breath.She linked arms with me. “Come on. Let's get you to bed.”As she helped me to my room, I couldn't help but miss Lachlan more. I hadn't realised how much I had hurt him. God, I'm such a monster.We arrived at my bedroom, and Lilian unhooked her arm from mine and took a step

Lachlan's POVThe BMW sliced through the lane, cutting off a black sedan. Tonight, I was going reckless and a full-on display. Amelia wasn't the only one who could be reckless. That was my nickname back in highschool. Her words flashed through my mind and I yelled. “So she cares only about Eric now huh?”“Easy there, fella!” The driver next to me yelled.I turned to him and yelled back. “Shut your mouth, asshole!”The man's face turned beet red and he cut me off.“Get out of the way!” I yelled on the top of my lungs, not caring if people saw my face or not. I was too mad to care about that. Too upset to even think about it and it was all Amelia's fault.Just then I heard a loud honking. A car was slowing down in front of me. “Shit! Shit! Shit!” I floored it, hoping to God I won't crash into the car. There was a child in the backseat. Well, God answered quickly because the car stopped just a few inches from the vehicle. The air bag inflated and slammed into my face. Thought this wa

Chapter 137Amelia's POVI slammed the door behind me, fuming furiously. I hurled my purse across the wall and screamed. This was making me almost go crazy. What was I thinking? Why was I fighting Lachlan? What was going on with me?I palmed my face and sat on the edge of the bed. “What am I doing?”Hot tears stung my eyes, and I wiped my eyes with the heel of my hands. I accused Lachlan of making me a prisoner. How could I say such a thing?A muffled buzz startled me, and I turned to look at my phone while lying face down on the marble floor. Who is it at this hour?I ignored the ringing and resumed sulking. The ringing was persistent. What the hell!I got off the bed and walked to where the phone was and picked it up. Lines like spider webs crawled across the screen. The crack was beyond what I had imagined it to be. Did I throw it that hard?The ringing stopped, and I heaved a sigh. Just as I was about to unlock the phone, it rang again. With a squint, I could make out the caller

Lachlan's POVLooking back on my life, I've had my fair share of challenges and anxiety. But if I'm being honest... I've never been this worried in my life before.I paced the floor of the living room tirelessly, dragging my hand through my hair. Lilian reached out and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. “You need to calm down, sir.”I shrugged off the contact. “No! Don't tell me that! Look at the clock! It's almost midnight, and Amelia is still out there. She isn't even taking her calls.”Now, I was getting pissed. If I see Eric again, I swear to God, I'm going to kill him.“Just take a deep breath,” Lilian said in a soothing voice. “Amelia will be here.”With a frustrated sigh, I collapsed on the plush red couch.“Do I even call the police?” I palmed my throbbing forehead.“I don't think it's necessary for now, sir. What if we contacted them and she comes home after?” Lilian said. Although it sounded risky, it did sound like a valid point.“But I've looked everywhere, Lilian.” An

AMELIA'S POVI felt like I achieved something today. Staying in the hospital and enduring the sterile smell of bleach and bandages, talking to Eric and feeding him hospital food, playing the game of Kahoot and having fun… Today was the best birthday I've ever had. While in the taxi, My fingers brushed the emerald necklace around my neck and I smiled. It was Mom's and now, mine. I don't know how Eric found it but I love him for giving it to me. Loved… that's such a strong word. I felt a buzz in my purse and realised my phone was ringing. I missed the call before I could answer.When I decided to check the caller my eyes widened in my head. I got 35 missed calls from Lachlan. Oh my God. “Um… driver , can you go a bit faster?” I told the middle aged man driving the Uber.“I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't risk it. You're pregnant after all. Wouldn't want anything that'll harm the baby.” he looked at the rearview mirror as he replied to me.Ugh! I gave up. Lachlan would have to wait for me
