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

    Amelia stepped out of the car and took a deep breath, feeling the cool night air fill her lungs. She felt relieved after talking to Perry and going out to clear her head. 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

    Amelia stood in Andrew's room, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her blouse. 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

    Henry and Amelia hesitated outside of Andrew's bedroom door, taking a deep breath, before Henry rapped his knuckles against the wood. 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?

    Amelia walked out of the room, leaving Andrew and Henry. She could feel the hurt and confusion swirling inside her. 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. I have nothing to do with your accident."Henry couldn't stand to be in that room with Andrew any longer. The tension was suffocating, and he needed to get out before he lost his temper.He followed Amelia out of the room, his heart heavy with worry. She was upset, he could tell, and he hated to see her that way."Amelia," he called out as he caught up to her in the kitchen. "Are you okay?"She turned to face him, her eyes red-rimmed

    "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

"Do you believe what you just said?" he asked. "That you only have eyes for me?"Amelia's thoughts were racing as she stood there looking at Andrew. She couldn't help but feel frustrated and confused by his behavior."Why are you doing this, Andrew?" she asked, her voice tinged with frustration. "I don't understand you.

    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!

His daughter had grown bigger, and she now had curly brown hair, which bounced with each moment, a beautiful resemblance to her mother, Amelia.
