The tension in the air was thick, and neither of them spoke for a long moment.

Finally, Henry cleared his throat. "Amelia, I'm sorry," he said, his voice low and regretful. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I just want you back."

Amelia's eyes narrowed. "You want me back?" she spat. "After everything you've done? After the way you've betrayed me?"

Henry winced, looking down at the floor. "I know I messed up," he said. "But I love you, Amelia. I always have. And I'll do anything to make things right."

Amelia shook her head, her eyes flashing with anger. "You can't make things right, Henry," she said. "You can't unring the bell. You can't take back what has already been done."

Henry stepped forward, reaching out to touch her arm. Amelia jerked away from him, her jaw set stubbornly.

Amelia left the kitchen, her heart pounding in her chest. She could feel Henry's eyes on her back as she walked away, but she refused to turn around.

Since her marriage to Andrew, Amelia had lost touch with Perry. Perry had always been a constant presence in her life.She stepped down from the car and walked up to the door, her spirits lifting with every step. When she knocked, she could hear the excitement in Perry's voice as she called out from inside."Ame! It's so good to see you!"

It was good to be back with someone who truly cared about her, someone who didn't have an agenda or a hidden motive.As they pulled away from each other, Perry looked at Amelia with concern."How have you been?

    Amelia hesitated for a moment before answering. "It was... nice. I mean, he's a good kisser," she said, feeling her face turn even redder.Perry laughed. "Well, that's something. Maybe you two will eventually fall in love," she said, teasingly.Amelia rolled her eyes, but deep down, she couldn't help but wonder if that was even a possibility.Amelia took a deep breath and looked into Perry's eyes. "There's something about Andrew," she began, her voice barely above a whisper, "that makes my heart beat fast whenever he touches me."Perry raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Really?" she asked, a mischievous grin on her face. "I never took you for the type to get all swoony over a guy."Amelia rolled her eyes but couldn't help the blush that crept up her cheeks. "I'm serious, Perry. I didn't even feel that way when I was with Henry."Perry's expression softened, and she reached over to place a hand on Amelia's arm. "Hey, it's okay," she said gently. "It's normal to feel that way. You're marri

The pressure of living in Andrew's mansion was suffocating her, and she needed some time to herself.She made her way up the marble steps and through the grand entrance. As she walked through the familiar halls of the mansion, she hesitated for a moment, dreading the thought of going back inside. She knew what was waiting for her: Andrew's stern face.She took a deep breath before opening the door to Andrew's room. As she stepped inside, her eyes were drawn to Andrew, who sat in his wheelchair, his piercing gaze fixed upon her."Why did it take you so long to return?" Andrew asked, his voice cold and accusing.Amelia swallowed hard. "I lost track of time.""Did you go somewhere else before Perry's house?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.Amelia felt her discomfort growing as Andrew continued to question her. She shifted

She could feel Andrew's piercing gaze on her, and her heart was pounding in her chest.Andrew studied her for a long moment, his eyes cold and hard. "How did you know it belonged to Henry?" he demanded.Amelia could feel her face turning red with embarrassment. She knew that Andrew was onto her, and she had to come up with a better excuse. "I... I didn't know it was his," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.She had given that bracelet to Henry months ago, back when they were still together. How had it ended up here, in Andrew's room?Amelia's mind raced. She couldn't tell Andrew the truth about the bracelet, not when it would only make him angrier. "I... I saw it on him once," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. "I recognized it.""Are you sure?" Andrew asked as he looked at her directly. His voice was firm.Amelia bit her lip, feeling a sense of panic rising in her chest. "I don't k

The door swung open with a creak, revealing Andrew sitting on his wheelchair with his eyes blazing.They exchanged a look of confusion as they stepped into Andrew's room. The air was thick with tension, and Andrew's face was twisted with anger."Murderer," Andrew hissed, the word biting through the air like a venomous snake.Henry felt the weight of the accusation settle heavily on his shoulders."Murder? What are you talking about, Andrew?" Henry asked, his voice laced with concern.Andrew looked up at Henry, his eyes blazing with accusation. "Don't play dumb, Henry.

As she made her way down the hallway, she could hear Andrew and Henry's voices growing fainter behind her. She tried to shake off the feelings of anger and betrayal that were welling up inside her, but they clung to her like a heavy weight.How could Andrew treat her like that? She was only in this marriage because of her father."Listen to me, Andrew," Henry said, his voice low and urgent. "You need to tell Detective Stone to look deeper.

    "Amelia? Are you okay?"She turned to see Alexander standing in the doorway, concern etched on his face. His piercing blue eyes searched hers, looking for any sign of distress.Amelia's heart raced as she tried to compose herself. "I-I'm fine," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.Alexander raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "Are you sure? You seem a little off."Amelia shook her head, forcing a smile. "It's nothing, really. Just lost in thought, I guess."Alexander studied her for a moment longer before nodding. "Okay. Well, I actually came to see Andrew. I have some documents to give him now that he's awake."Amelia felt a wave of relief wash over her. "Oh, of course. He's upstairs, if you want to go see him.""Thanks," Alexander said with a smile. "How has he been doing?""He's doing okay, I guess. He's just been... there, you know? Sometimes I don't just understand him."Alexander nodded sympathetically. "It must be tough. But you'll get used to it."Before Amelia

    Nanny Grace placed a comforting hand on Amelia's shoulder, her touch warm and reassuring. "I know, my dear," she said. "But sometimes, a small gesture of kindness can go a long way. And I think Andrew could use a little kindness right now."Amelia hesitated, her mind racing as she considered her options. She knew that Nanny Grace was right, that Andrew would appreciate the tea and that it might help to ease the tension between them. But the thought of facing him now, after the way he had spoken to her earlier, made her feel sick to her stomach.Amelia nodded, taking a deep breath to steady herself. "Fiiine," she said, "I'll take the tea up to him."As she made her way up the stairs, Amelia couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. She knew that Andrew was proud, and she wasn't sure how he would react to her presence. But she pushed those thoughts aside, focusing instead on the soothing aroma of the tea and the warmth of the cup in her hands.As she reached the top of the stairs

    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!

Andrew," she hesitated, concern etched on her face.Andrew turned back to face her, his eyes filled with curiosity.

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.
