Nanny Grace's heart skipped a beat as Amelia's words sank in. She stammered, unsure of what to say."M-may... maybe he didn't mean it," she said, her voice shaking slightly. "I'm sure he didn't mean it."But Amelia's response was resolute. "He was serious, Nana," she said, her voice firm. "He repeated it several times."Nanny Grace felt a knot forming in her stomach. She couldn't believe that Andrew would ask Amelia to do something so terrible. But at the same time, she knew that she had to consider all possibilities."No, no, I don't think so, dear," she said, trying to calm Amelia's fears. "But... but, don't feel offended, dear, I just want to ask a question."Amelia's eyes widened in surprise. "What is it?" she asked, her voice trembling.Nanny Grace hesitated for a moment before continuing. "Are you sure the child is for Andrew?" she asked gently.Amelia's face fell, and her eyes filled with hurt. "Even you?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "You too, Nana?"She said,
Andrew's eyes narrowed as he spoke again. "So tell me, what about the kiss? I'm waiting."Amelia stammered out a response, "It...it... was a mistake."Andrew laughed incredulously. "A mistake? That your ex-boyfriend walked into my room while you were almost naked and he kissed you? You expect me to believe it was a mistake?"Amelia's face fell as Andrew's words sunk in. "This just proves that the child in your belly isn't mine, and I'm not going to accept it," Andrew said coldly.Amelia's voice was firm as she looked at Andrew. "Whether you accept it or not, I'm having my child," she said.Andrew's face twisted in anger. "And besides, you're not a saint either, Andrew. I only had a kiss with Henry while you, on the other hand, were flirting and being intimate with Lila," Amelia continued.Andrew's eyes narrowed as he spoke, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "And how is that a problem? So you've finally admitted to having an affair with Henry," he said.Amelia's voice rose in frustrat
Henry laughed bitterly. "You think I'm like you? Or does it hurt you so much that a whole Andrew Reynolds could get every girl, but he couldn't get Amelia, and you had to hide behind a business transaction to do so."Andrew clenched his fists, ready to strike again, but Henry moved quickly, dodging his punch.Amelia's heart raced as she heard the commotion from downstairs. She knew that something was wrong, and her mind immediately raced to the worst possible scenarios.Without thinking, she got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and hurried out of the room, her heart pounding in her chest.As she reached the top of the stairs, she could hear Henry and Andrew arguing in loud, angry tones. She hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to intervene or to retreat back to her room.But then she heard Andrew's voice rising in anger. "She's still my wife," he shouted, in a commanding and authoritative tone. Henry laughed bitterly. "But she doesn't love you," he said. "You bought her the sam
Andrew glared at him. "It's none of your business," he spat. "Leave."But Amelia had had enough. She wiped away her tears and spoke up, her voice shaking but determined. "I'm leaving too," she said.Henry nodded in agreement. "I'm not going to let you keep her here against her will," he said, as he started to rush towards Andrew.But before he could get to him, someone pulled him from behind. Henry turned to see Tony, holding him back."Let go of me!" Henry shouted, struggling to break free.Tony held him firmly, his eyes fixed on Andrew. "What do you want me to do with him?" he asked.Andrew sneered at Henry. "Take him out," he said, his voice cold and calculated.Tony held him in a vice-like grip, his attention fixed on Andrew. With a nod from Andrew, Tony wasted no time in dragging Henry out of the room.Amelia's heart pounded in her chest as she watched Tony force Henry into Andrew's SUV. Panic rose within her, and she turned to Andrew, her voice laced with fear and desperation."
Andrew looked at her for a moment, then he turned away. "The child or Henry," he said, his voice cold and hard.Amelia knew that there was no reasoning with Andrew. He was too consumed by his anger and bitterness. She knew that she had to make a decision, but she couldn't choose between the two. Andrew's words hung heavy in the air as he looked at Amelia. "We're going to the hospital very early in the morning, you know what to do," he said, his voice flat and emotionless. Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving Amelia standing there alone.Amelia felt a lump rise in her throat as she watched him go. She didn't know what to do or where Henry was. A part of her doubted he was capable of hurting anyone, but was she ready to take that risk?She collapsed onto the couch, tears streaming down her face. She felt so alone, so helpless. She didn't know what to do.After a few minutes, with a deep breath, she wiped away her tears and made her way up to the room. She closed t
Amelia was silent for a long moment, her eyes downcast."I haven't really thought that far ahead," Amelia admitted quietly. "But right now, I just need to get out of here, knowing that Henry is okay. I can't stay with Andrew any longer, Perry. Perry held her phone tightly to her ear, trying her best to keep her voice calm and steady. She was worried sick about Amelia, and the thought of her friend trying to escape from the hospital without a plan made her heart race with fear."So are you going with anything?" she asked, trying to think of any way she could help. "How are you going to do it?"Amelia's voice on the other end of the line was quiet and uncertain. "Honestly, I don't really know," she admitted. "I don't even know where I'll be going. But I'm not leaving with anything so it won't look suspicious."Perry took a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions in check. She knew that Amelia was scared and unsure, and she wanted to do whatever she could to help."But why did you tell
Perry waited anxiously, hoping that Amelia would pick up the phone again. But the line remained silent.Amelia's heart raced as she hung up the phone and turned to face Andrew. Did he overhear her conversation with Perry? She couldn't help but wonder if he had been behind the door since.But Andrew just stared at her, his eyes narrowing as he spoke. "Why were you frightened to see me? What are you up to?"Amelia felt her palms begin to sweat as she quickly cut the call with Perry. "Nothing," she stammered. "I...I wasn't expecting you."But Andrew didn't believe her. "Get dressed," he said, his tone icy. "We're going somewhere."Amelia felt a wave of fear wash over her as she stammered, "Where are we going?"But Andrew just grinned at her. "You'll find out soon enough," he said. "Now hurry up and get dressed.""Okay," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Let me just quickly..."But before she could finish her sentence, Andrew cut her off. "We'll be back in no time. Let's go."A
Andrew nodded, his jaw set. "Immediately we're done, this won't take long," he said, leading her towards the entrance of the hospital.His grip on Amelia's hands was firm as they walked towards the entrance of the hospital. Amelia's mind was racing with anxiety as she realized that she had left her phone in the car and wouldn't be able to contact Perry. She felt trapped, like a mouse caught in a trap, unable to escape.As they approached the entrance, Amelia turned to Andrew, her voice shaking with fear. "Wait, can we talk about this, please?" she stammered. "I'm not ready, Andrew."Andrew's face was grim as he looked at her. "We're doing this final," he said firmly. "There's no need to delay it any further."Amelia's heart sank as she realized that there was no changing Andrew's mind. She knew that she was making a mistake, but she felt powerless to stop it.She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Andrew strode confidently up to the receptionist's desk, his face expr
