Amelia didn't respond, didn't even move. Andrew took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts. He had never been good with words, especially when it came to matters of the heart.

"I didn't mean to hurt you," he said finally. "I was just...frustrated. With myself, mostly. I didn't mean to take it out on you."

Still, Amelia didn't say anything. Andrew could feel the tension between them, the hurt and the anger and the frustration.

"I know I messed up," he continued. "And I'm sorry."

He waited for her response, his heart beating faster with every passing second.

Andrew took a deep breath, trying to summon the courage to speak. He had never been good at this kind of thing.

Since Catherine had died, he had kept his emotions bottled up, never letting anyone get close enough to hurt him.

But Amelia was different. She had somehow broken down his defenses, and now he was feeling things he had never felt before.

    Andrew poured two glasses of scotch from the bottle on his desk, offering one to the detective."I appreciate you coming over, Detective," Andrew said, taking a sip of his drink. "I imagine you were referring to my phone call since three weeks ago, right?"Detective Stone nodded gravely. "Yes, Mr. Reynolds. I have to admit, what you told me had me concerned."He wasted no time in delivering the news. "She's clean, Andrew. Your wife, Miss Amelia, is clean. She had nothing to do with your accident," he said, his tone professional.Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, but then the detective continued. "The only thing we found was her and Henry's past," he said, watching Andrew's reaction closely."It seems your wife had a past with your cousin. Were you thinking they were working together to get rid of you?"Andrew sipped his wine, trying to keep his composure. "I found out about them in my coma," he said, his voice low. Detective Stone raised an eyebrow. "In your coma?" he repeated.Andre

    Andrew's heart sank as he sat down next to Amelia. She was still scrolling through her phone, ignoring him completely."Amelia," he said again, his voice barely above a whisper. "Can you at least hear me out?"Amelia didn't respond, her eyes still fixed on her phone. Andrew felt a pang of guilt, knowing that he was at fault.He sat there in silence, unsure of what to do next. He watched as Amelia's fingers moved across the screen of her phone, her face impassive."I know I wasn't a gentleman," he said finally, breaking the silence. "And I'm sorry.

    Henry walked into the dining room, sniffing the air curiously. "What's that smell, Nana?" he asked, a grin on his face.Nanny Grace laughed as she placed a plate of pancakes in front of him. "I made breakfast, dear," she said. "You want to eat now?"Henry's eyes lit up as he picked up his fork. "Yes, Nana, I'm starving," he said.As he started eating, he turned to Andrew, who was sitting quietly at the table. "Hey, cousin, what's wrong?" he asked, noticing the tense atmosphere.Andrew stood up abruptly, his expression darkening. "You're still a suspect in my accident, Henry," he said, his voice laced with anger. "Don't forget that."Henry's face fell as he set down his fork. "Andrew, come on," he said. "I've told you a hundred times, I had nothing to do with your accident. I wouldn't do something like that to family."Andrew glared at him. "I hope that's true," he said, before storming out of the room.Henry watched as Andrew stormed out of the dining room and disappeared into his stu

She could hear the sound of fists hitting flesh and the crash of furniture being overturned. As they reached the doorway, Amelia could see Andrew and Henry locked in a vicious struggle.Andrew's face was twisted with anger as he threw a punch at Henry's jaw, but Henry dodged it and retaliated with a blow to Andrew's stomach.

    Andrew couldn't help but smile as he noticed her standing on her toes and stretching to reach his face. His smile was gentle, despite the bruises on his face.Then, his gentle voice broke the silence. "Do you want me to sit?" he asked, his eyes filled with concern.Amelia still avoided Andrew's gaze as she said, "if you want to."Andrew held her hands as she cleaned his wounds. He looked at her and asked again, "do you want me to sit?"Amelia hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay, sit," she said softly.He moved to the chair by his desk and sat down, still watching Amelia as she continued to clean his wounds. He could sense her discomfort and hesitance, and it made him feel even more guilty about what had happened.As she finished cleaning the wounds, Andrew reached out and gently took her hand. "Amelia," he said softly. "I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I just...I lost control."She looked away, avoiding his gaze, but held her chin and positioned her face to his. She c

    Amelia felt uncomfortable immediately, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "Oh... why did you ask?" she asked, avoiding Andrew's gaze.Andrew scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Just curious, that's all." he said, his voice gentle. "Who is this ex-boyfriend of yours that you don't want to talk about?"Amelia looked at him, trying to avoid his gaze. "Do you not want to talk about him," Andrew pressed, his tone still gentle. "Or do you not want to tell me who he is?"Amelia took a deep breath, feeling her palms sweat as she clasped them tightly in her lap. "Why do you want to know?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Andrew leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers. "No reason," he said, his voice low. "I'm just curious. Amelia looked at him again, her expression guarded. "Tell me, why do you really want to know?" she asked.Andrew leaned back in his chair, studying her. "No reason, really. Weren't you curious about my life? I'm also curious about yours.""You know what

    Amelia could see that he was getting more and more upset, and she didn't want to make things worse. "We just had an argument," she said, trying to downplay the situation. "It wasn't a big deal."Henry adjusted himself on the bed, his eyes still burning with anger. "So tell me," he said, his voice calmer now but still with an edge to it. "What did you guys argue about that made him hit you? Don't tell me it was all about me."Amelia stood frozen in front of Henry, her mind racing as she tried to come up with a response to his question.How was she going to tell Henry that she finally gave herself to a man and that man happened to be Andrew, and to top it all up, he was doubting he's the first man she has been with?Her thoughts were interrupted by Henry snapping his fingers in front of her face. She blinked and refocused on the present, shaking her head slightly to clear her thoughts.Amelia, what are you thinking?" he asked, concern etched into his features. "Was the argument that dee

    Nanny Grace looked at him with concern in her eyes. "Calm down, dear," she said gently. "I think you should be focused on your face right now. You look terrible. Let me get some hot water ready for you.""Thanks, nana," Andrew replied, feeling grateful for her kindness. He winced as he touched his face, feeling the pain in his bruises.Nanny Grace turned back to face Andrew, her expression one of surprise at the mention of his lawyer. "Your lawyer? Mr. Finn?" she repeated, seeking confirmation.Andrew nodded, his face set in determination. "Yes, there are some documents I need back from Amelia. The ones Alexander gave her to sign while I was in a coma.""Oh, okay, dear," she said slowly. "But can't it wait? Your face is still bruised and you need time to heal."Andrew shook his head, his eyes flashing with anger. "No, it can't wait. I need those documents urgently, and I have some scores to settle with James Thompson."Nanny Grace sighed and nodded."Okay, dear," she said, her voice s

"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.

    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. 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

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.
