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
Liam's eyes widened with surprise and delight as Amelia walked towards him, her smile radiant with approval. He couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth and affection for her. "I'm glad you like it," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.Amelia's eyes twinkled as she gently took the baby playsuit from Liam's hands, inspecting it with care. The soft fabric, the intricate details—it was a testament to Liam's thoughtfulness and generosity. She looked up at him, her smile widening. "Thank you, Liam. It's really beautiful."Liam's smile grew wider, his heart swelling with happiness. He wanted nothing more than to ensure Amelia's comfort and happiness during this special time. Liam's smile deepened as he spoke, his voice filled with sincerity. "Everything's on me," he said, his words laced with tenderness. "I just want to make sure you and your baby are comfortable."Amelia's heart swelled with gratitude, her eyes expressing the depth of her emotions. As they continued to shop, his
"Amelia!" he exclaimed, unable to contain his emotions. In a rush of exhilaration, he closed the distance between them, his arms encircling her waist as he lifted her off her feet gently.Amelia's laughter filled the air as Liam playfully spun her around gently in his arms."Liam, careful!" she exclaimed, her laughter tinged with a hint of concern. Liam immediately responded, gently placing her back on her feet, mindful of her growing belly. In a tender moment, Liam leaned in, his lips softly brushing against Amelia's. She closed her eyes, allowing herself to be enveloped in the warmth of the kiss. Though it lacked the same intensity she had experienced with Andrew, she knew deep within that she was ready to leave the past behind and open herself up to a new love.As the kiss came to an end, Liam pulled back slightly, his gaze filled with affection. "I love you, Amelia," he confessed, his words spoken with vulnerability and sincerity. Amelia's breath caught in her throat as she ch
Determined to brush off the discomfort, Amelia tried again to pick up the pacifiers. However, as she stretched, the sharp pain returned, intensifying and causing her to cry out in agony. "Ouch! Ahhh... What's this?" she exclaimed, a mix of pain and confusion in her voice.Realizing something wasn't right, Amelia took a moment to catch her breath, steadying herself against the shelf. Concern and worry washed over her, uncertainty gripping her heart. She knew that any discomfort during pregnancy should be taken seriously, and this unexpected pain stirred both fear and confusion within her.Her breathing shallow and rapid, attempted to gather herself and manage the increasing pain. Realizing that something was seriously wrong, Amelia made the difficult decision to leave the pacifiers behind and prioritize her well-being. She knew that her baby's safety and her own health were paramount, and she couldn't ignore the distress she was experiencing.As she tried to compose herself by taki
The nurses immediately sprang into action. One nurse rushed outside, following Liam's lead, while others prepared a stretcher and gathered the necessary equipment.Liam's eyes searched anxiously for the nurse he had alerted, and when he spotted her, he quickly explained, "My girlfriend, Amelia, she's in labor. She's in a lot of pain and couldn't move. Please, we need help right away."Understanding the urgency, the nurse nodded and signaled for her colleagues to assist. They hurriedly made their way to the car where Amelia was waiting, her face contorted with pain.The nurses transferred Amelia onto the stretcher, ensuring her comfort and safety. Liam hovered close, holding Amelia's hand tightly, his voice filled with unwavering support, "You'll be fine, Amelia. I'm right here with you."As they hurriedly wheeled her through the hospital's bustling corridors, Liam's eyes never left Amelia's face. The doctor, clad in a white coat and an expression of focused concern, approached Liam
Amelia's heart raced, her hands gripping the bedstand tightly. Panic threatened to engulf her."No need to panic, Amelia," the doctor reassured her. "You'll be fine. Just focus on your breathing, in and out."Amelia followed the doctor's instructions, her breaths coming in deep and measured. She summoned every ounce of strength within her, determined to bring her child safely into the world. The nurse stood by her side, offering support and encouragement.With a steady voice, the doctor announced, "It's time to push, Amelia. Are you ready?"Amelia managed to nod, determination etched on her face despite the waves of pain crashing over her."Push!" the doctor commanded, and with that word, Amelia's scream of exertion filled the room. She pushed with all her might, feeling the strain and pressure intensify. Her knuckles turned white as she squeezed the bed stand, seeking a source of stability amidst the overwhelming sensations coursing through her body.The nurses around her provided a
Startled, Liam refocused his attention on the gravity of the situation at hand."Yes... Yes, I'll sign it right away," Liam responded, his voice laden with determination.The doctor approached Liam, holding a stack of papers in his hands. He wore a somber expression, a reflection of the weighty situation they were facing. "Here you go, sir," the doctor said, his voice filled with a mix of professional assurance and empathy. "Everything is 50-50, but we believe they will be fine."Liam took the papers, his brows furrowing as he considered the delicate balance hanging in the balance. Questions about Amelia's lingering feelings for Andrew lingered in his mind, clouding his thoughts with uncertainty. Despite the internal struggle, he nodded in acknowledgment, silently acknowledging the doctor's words.With a steadying breath, Liam picked up the pen and signed the documents.Just as he set the pen down, the operation commenced, the medical team swiftly springing into action. Amelia, un
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
