Liam's eyes widened in shock at the accusation. He couldn't believe that Lila's mind had jumped to such a conclusion. Panic washed over him as he struggled to come up with a convincing response. "No, no, no, babe, it's nothing like that," he protested, his voice filled with sincerity. "I promise you, there's no one in the kitchen. I've just been preoccupied with other things."Lila's gaze bore into Liam, searching for any signs of deception. The air hung heavy with tension as she continued to press him for answers. "Then why have you been acting so weird?" she demanded, her voice edged with a mix of frustration and hurt. "What's really in the kitchen?"Liam's mind raced, desperately trying to come up with a plausible explanation that would satisfy Lila's doubts. In a split second decision, he decided to play on her love for surprises. With a glimmer of hope, he blurted out, "It's nothing, babe. I've been preparing something for you, a surprise—my latest produce."Lila's eyes soft
He could feel the weight of the unspoken words hanging in the air, their unresolved situation hanging heavy on his shoulders.With determination fueling his actions, Liam gently knocked on the door once more. "Amelia, I know you can hear me," he implored, his voice filled with both patience and concern. "Please, open up. We need to talk."Seconds felt like an eternity as Liam anxiously waited for a response. The silence only intensified his worries, the unknown stretching out before him. Amelia hesitated for a moment, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts. She knew she couldn't keep evading Liam's questions any longer.She stood up from her bed, her footsteps echoing softly in the room. With trembling hands, she reached for the doorknob, her fingers grazing its cool surface.Taking a deep breath, Amelia steeled herself, her mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. The door creaked open, revealing Liam's familiar silhouette standing before her, a mixture of relief and concern etc
Amelia exhaled, her voice filled with both pain and determination. "Fine," she relented, her words heavy with the truth. "She's my husband's ex-girlfriend, and they are still having an affair."A heavy silence settled between them as Liam processed the revelation, his eyes widening with shock and disbelief. The weight of Amelia's words hung in the air.Liam's confusion deepened, his brows furrowing as he struggled to process Amelia's shocking revelation. "What do you mean, Lila is having an affair with your husband?" he asked, his voice filled with disbelief. "Yes, you heard me right. I was just surprised to find out she's your girlfriend, and I'm sure they are still having an affair." Amelia stated. She turned away from Liam, her back pressed against the window, as if seeking solace in the view beyond. She closed her eyes, her mind racing with the tangled web of deceit that had entwined her life. "She's Andrew's lover," she murmured, her words barely audible.Liam took a step clos
Amelia's eyes searched his face, searching for any sign of uncertainty or hesitation. But the wounds of her past made her wary, cautious of the promises that were too easily spoken."I feel like you're rushing things, Liam," Amelia finally admitted, her voice tinged with caution. Liam shook his head gently, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Trust me, I'm not," he assured her, his voice tender. He took her hands in his, their warmth providing a sense of comfort. As he leaned in, his lips brushed against hers in a gentle, lingering kiss.Her heart yearned for the simplicity of love and the safety of Liam's presence, yet she couldn't shake off the doubts and fears that still lingered within her.Liam's hand gently moved to Amelia's protruding belly, his touch delicate as he rubbed it with care."I'll take care of your little baby," he whispered, his voice filled with a mixture of determination and tenderness.******As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into a full month, Lila
Panic began to creep into her mind, swirling with unanswered questions. Who could have divulged such information to Liam? Who else even knew apart from Andrew?Lila took a deep breath, her eyes filled with a mix of resignation and defiance. She knew there was nothing more to be said. The damage had been done, and the truth had been laid bare. Liam's accusations, whether rooted in truth or misconception, had shattered the remnants of their connection."Enjoy your life, Liam," Lila said, her voice tinged with a bittersweet resignation. "I hope you do well in Spain without me."With those words hanging in the air, Lila turned on her heel and walked away. Lila stepped out of the restaurant, her mind swirling with confusion and questions. She couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was amiss, that Liam's sudden knowledge about her relationship with Andrew was more than just a coincidence. How could Liam have known about her involvement with Andrew? Determined to find ans
Lila's voice trembled slightly as she processed his words. "I know I wasn't ready before, but I'm ready now. I can be the family you want, Andrew. Please, give me another chance."Andrew sighed again, his gaze searching hers. "Lila, it's not that simple. I've tried to bury my feelings, to move on, but the more time goes by, the more I realize that I loved Amelia. Maybe I should have forgiven her, even if the child wasn't mine."Lila felt a lump forming in her throat as she struggled to comprehend Andrew's words. "Child? What child?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.Andrew's eyes met hers, his voice heavy with the weight of the truth. "Amelia is pregnant."Lila's world seemed to come crashing down around her. Her mind raced with a mix of emotions—betrayal, anger, and heartbreak. She tried to speak, but the words caught in her throat, leaving her speechless.Her eyes widened with a mix of shock and disbelief as she absorbed Andrew's words. "What do you mean Amelia is pregnant? I t
Liam sat in the comfortable living room, his mind restless with anticipation as he patiently waited for Amelia.Just then, Natalie walked into the room, her expression a mix of concern and frustration. She approached him, her voice laced with a touch of caution. "Liam, I hope you've had some time to reflect on your decision to end things with Lila," she began, her tone gentle yet firm.Liam sighed, his eyes briefly searching Natalie's face before looking away. "Naty, please don't bring that up again," he pleaded. "It's been months. Don't tell me you're still thinking about it.Natalie crossed her arms, her frustration evident. "But we can't deny that everything is moving slower than we planned. We were supposed to be in Spain by now, if not two months ago," she pointed out, her voice tinged with disappointment.Liam's expression softened, and he turned to face his sister. "You know I couldn't leave because of Amelia," he confessed, his voice tinged with a mix of devotion and concern.
Amelia's mind raced, processing the information she had just received. She hadn't anticipated this change. The thought of Liam leaving, even if it was for the growth of their business, stirred a mixture of emotions within her."Oh... I, uhm, I didn't know," Amelia replied, her voice laced with a touch of uncertainty. Her gaze shifted, momentarily avoiding Liam's intense stare.Liam's expression softened, a gentle smile gracing his lips as he reached out to grasp Amelia's hand, his eyes still focused on the road."It's long overdue," he confessed, his voice filled with honesty and vulnerability. "But I didn't want to leave you."Amelia's heart fluttered at his words. She looked at Liam, her eyes filled with a mixture of emotions. Slowly, a smile curved on her lips, radiating warmth. "Liam," she murmured softly, her voice barely above a whisper.Liam's grip on her hand tightened, his eyes filled with hope as he interjected, "Come with me, Amelia."Her brows furrowed, confusion evident
Amelia stood there, tears of joy streaming down her face, listening to Andrew's words of love and reminiscences of their past. Andrew said, "the first time I asked you to be my wife, it was arranged, you never wanted to. You agreed because you had no choice. I only granted you the divorce because I wanted to start afresh with you."She couldn't help but laugh at his playful remark about the first proposal. "Or you had no choice either," she jokingly replied, sharing a lighthearted moment with him.With a smile, Andrew continued, expressing his true feelings, "Now I'm asking you again, out of your will. Amelia Tate, can you do me the honors of becoming my wife?" Overwhelmed with happiness, Amelia screamed, "Yes, yes, yes!!!" The excitement spread through everyone present as they joined in the joyous moment.In a rush of emotions, Amelia ran to hug Andrew, and amidst the laughter, Perry playfully yelled, "Collect the ring first!" The laughter continued as Andrew gently slipped the
With a heart full of happiness and anticipation, Andrew walked down the stairs of his home, feeling a world of difference from the past few months. Everything was now beautiful and filled with joy and love. Today was a special day as he was going to pick up Amelia from the hospital after her remarkable recovery from the coma.Tony approached him to inform him that the car was ready. He said, "The car is ready, boss."But Andrew declined, wanting to savor every moment of the day. "Nah... I'll drive myself," he replied with a smile.Tony said, "are you sure boss?""Nah… I'm fine, hand me the keys." Andrew said as he stretched his hands towards Tony to collect his keys.Tony walked towards him and handed him the keys to the Rolls Royce Phantom, and Andrew hopped in, ready to go pick up his beloved Amelia.The drive to the hospital was filled with excitement and eagerness. Andrew couldn't wait to see Amelia's reaction to the grand surprise he had prepared for her at home. As he arrived
The doctor stammered, realizing the gravity of his poorly phrased suggestion. "No... no, that's not what I meant," he attempted to clarify.Andrew stepped closer to the doctor, his eyes piercing through him. "Are you going to tell me how to spend my money?" he demanded.The doctor quickly backtracked, "No sir, it was just a suggestion from a professional."But Andrew was not swayed. He fiercely responded, "Keep your profession to yourself! We're not taking her off any life support! We're not depriving her of her rights to fight! Understood?"The doctor nodded, humbled by Andrew's words, "Yes, sir."Andrew left his office and slammed the door behind him.Leaving the doctor's office, Andrew returned to Amelia's room, his emotions still raw. Mrs. Tate noticed his changed mood and approached him, concerned. "How is Amelia? What did the doctor say?"Andrew took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. "It's nothing serious," he reassured Mrs. Tate, not wanting to worry her further.But M
Andrew carefully came down the stairs, holding Violet in his arms. His daughter had grown bigger, and she now had curly brown hair, which bounced with each moment, a beautiful resemblance to her mother, Amelia. Nanny Grace approached them, holding Violet's little bag and other items Amelia used to cherish."Thanks, Nana," Andrew said with genuine gratitude. "What about Amelia's hairbrush and perfumes?"Nanny Grace smiled warmly. "I've packed them inside, just as you requested.""Thanks," Andrew replied, relieved that everything was in order. He made his way towards the front door, Violet snuggled safely in his arms. But before he could reach the car, Nanny Grace's voice called him back."Uhm... Andrew," she hesitated, concern etched on her face.Andrew turned back to face her, his eyes filled with curiosity. "What is it, Nana?"Nanny Grace took a deep breath, her voice gentle but filled with worry. "Any news on Alexander?"Andrew's expression tightened, a mix of frustration and pain
Nanny Grace's sobs echoed through the air as she cradled Violet in her trembling arms. Tears streamed down her face, and her voice cracked with anguish as she cried out."Alexander, noooo!" Her legs gave way beneath her, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching Violet tightly.One of the cops quickly shouted, "Call in the divers!" The police were already taking action to search for Alexander's body in the water below the bridge.Andrew rushed to Nanny Grace and Violet, his own heart torn apart by the events unfolding before him. He knelt down beside them and wrapped his arms around them both.Nanny Grace, her voice choked with grief, managed to speak through her tears, "Wh...what of Amelia? What happened? Where is she? How did it happen?" Her voice trembled with a desperate hope for answers.Andrew's heart felt as though it had been torn into a million pieces. He struggled to find the words, his voice barely above a whisper. "I...I really don't know. Stone called, and..." Just as
Nanny Grace pleaded with him, her heart breaking at the sight of a man she had once loved like a son, now consumed by rage and despair. "No, no, no, don't harm the innocent baby, Alexander. She has nothing to do with this. Just turn yourself in."Alexander, struggling with his emotions, replied bitterly, "Then what do I get in return? Spend the rest of my life in jail? It's better we all die here!!"Nanny Grace's eyes filled with tears as she realized the extent of Alexander's desperation. She knew she had to reach him, to show him that there was another way out of this dark path he had chosen."Then you'll have to kill me first, Alexander, because I'm getting the baby out of the car," Nanny Grace declared resolutely. She was willing to put her life on the line to protect Violet.Alexander's hands trembled as he held the gun. He couldn't bear the thought of hurting Nanny Grace, no matter how deep his pain ran.Nanny Grace slowly approached him, step by step, keeping her gaze locked
The other police officers rushed to the corridor where Detective Stone was, following his urgent call for an ambulance. As they saw Amelia's lifeless body lying on the ground, one of them recognized her and exclaimed, "Isn't this Mr. Reynolds' wife? Is she dead?"Detective Stone walked over to Amelia's body, he knelt down beside her, gently placing his hands on her neck to check her pulse. His expression grew more grave as he felt her faint heartbeat. "Her pulse is very low, quickly call the ambulance!!!" he urgently instructed one of the officers.The officer quickly made the call, relaying the critical situation to the emergency services. "They're on their way," he responded to Detective Stone.Meanwhile, Detective Stone's phone rang, and he took it out to answer. It was Andrew on the other end. Before he could say anything, Andrew's voice came through, stammering with worry. "I... I can't find Amelia! Ch... check the warehouse for her! Have you seen her?!" Andrew desperately sa
One of the henchmen hesitated, looking back at Amelia lying unconscious on the floor. "What about her? Are we leaving her here?!" he questioned, showing a flicker of concern."We don't have time!! Go bring the baby!!!" Alexander snapped, prioritizing their escape over everything else. Leaving Amelia behind was the only option he saw to ensure their escape.They rushed upstairs to where Violet was sleeping, and Alexander's henchman quickly grabbed her, carrying her in his arms as they hurriedly left the warehouse.Amelia remained motionless on the floor.Outside, the police sirens grew louder, signaling that the authorities were closing in. Alexander's heart pounded with fear as he led his men to a getaway vehicle, hoping to escape in time.One of his men said, "But what about the money?!"Alexander's eyes flashed with anger and frustration. "Do you want to go to jail?!" he snapped back. "Andrew would do anything for his daughter!!! Let's move!!!" he ordered.Their priorities were cle
Amelia continued to stammer, her voice trembling, "I swear, I don't have it. You took it with you."Meanwhile, Andrew and Detective Stone were hard at work, tracing the call from Alexander's phone. The tension in the room was thick as all their attention was at tracing the call, knowing that every second counted in finding Amelia and Violet.Detective Stone's face lit up with relief and excitement. "We've gotten it, sir! They are in an underground warehouse downtown," he announced.Andrew's heart raced with a mix of hope and fear. "What are you waiting for, let's hurry!" he commanded.With the location finally pinpointed, Andrew and Detective Stone wasted no time. They rushed out of the study, making their way as quickly as possible to the underground warehouse where Amelia and Violet were being held captive.The room was filled with tension as Alexander, consumed by rage, cornered Amelia, demanding to know the whereabouts of his phone. He grabbed Amelia by the arm as he shook her
