Amelia's heart pounded in her chest as she followed Nanny Grace down the hallway towards Andrew's study. 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. The two men circled each other like caged animals, each one looking for an opening to strike.Nanny Grace rushed forward, trying to pull them apart, but they shook her off and continued to fight. "Stop it!" Amelia screamed, but her words were lost in the chaos of the room.As the fight raged on, Amelia could see that both men were exhausted and bloodied. Andrew's shirt was torn and his lip was split, while Henry's nose was bleeding and his eye was swelling shut. It was clear that neither man was going to give up until one of them was victorious.Suddenly, Ame
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
As Andrew made his way down the stairs to the living room, he could feel the weight of Mr. Finn's gaze on him. He knew that his bruises were still visible, despite his attempts to freshen up."Wow, Mr. Reynolds," Mr. Finn exclaimed as he stood up from his chair. "So nice to see you after several months. It's good to see you back on your feet. We all thought you weren't going to make it."Andrew scoffed at Mr. Finn's words. He knew that there were people out there who wanted him dead."Who wants to kill Andrew Reynolds?" he muttered under his breath, more to himself than to anyone else in the room.But Mr. Finn seemed to take Andrew's words as a rhetorical question. He simply smiled and said, "I'm happy to see you, sir."Andrew sank down onto the cushions with a sigh, his bruises still painfully visible on his face and neck."Thanks for making it here so quick," Andrew said as. "I really need those documents as soon as possible."Mr. Finn nodded. "Always at your service, sir," he repli
Andrew Reynolds stood at the door of his grand mansion, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his tailored trousers. He winced as he felt a sharp twinge of pain in his side, a reminder of the brutal fight he had had with Henry.He pulled out his sunglasses and slipped them on, hoping to conceal the bruises and cuts on his face. Moments later, the sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up to the entrance of the mansion. Andrew stepped out, adjusting his shades and taking a moment to compose himself. He stood tall, his hands in his pockets, as Tony rushed to open the car door for him.Without a word, he made his way inside the car. He had a job to do, and he needed to focus. "There's a briefcase in the living room," he said to Tony. "Bring it to me."Tony quickly exited the car and rushed inside, returning shortly with the briefcase. Andrew took it from him, placing it carefully on his lap. With a sense of purpose, he leaned back into his seat and the car pulled away from the mansion
Andrew looked at her with a stern expression, but he didn't say anything. He just took the card and handed over the money.The girls quickly dressed and left the apartment, and Andrew walked over to the front door, shutting it behind them. He turned to look at James, who sat on the chair, drunk.Andrew stood in front of James, feeling a mix of anger and frustration.James looked at him as he asked, "so what brings you here Andrew? Don't tell me you've come to kill me."Andrew couldn't help but laugh at the irony of the statement. "How ironic James, so tell me, why did you bring Amelia here?"James shrugged, a drunken smirk on his face. "Is that what she told you?"Why did you bring Amelia to your place?" Andrew asked, his voice firm.James smirked, as if he found the question amusing. "Is that what she told you?" he asked, taking another swig of whiskey.Andrew shook his head. "No, that's what happened," he replied, his tone becoming more serious."Did you plan on buying my shares fro
