Andrew sank onto the bed beside Lila, his heart pounding with desire. She looked at him with amusement, a glint of mischief in her eyes."Easy there, I didn't know you missed me this much," she teased, trailing her fingers down his arm.Andrew didn't respond, instead leaning in to capture her lips in a fierce kiss. Lila responded eagerly, her body molding to his as they tangled together on the bed.As they broke apart, panting and gasping for air, Lila looked up at Andrew with a mixture of desire and curiosity.He kissed Lila's neck, as she leaned back into his embrace, a soft moan escaping her lips. "I knew you wouldn't get over me so easily," she murmured, running her fingers through his hair.Andrew pulled back, looking at her with curiosity. "What made you so sure?" he asked, a slight furrow in his brow.Lila smiled knowingly. "Amelia isn't your type," she replied simply, before pulling him back into a deep, passionate kiss."You know what I mean, Andrew." She continued." Amelia i
As he stood under the shower, the water washing away the sweat and the memories of the past, Andrew couldn't help but wonder if Lila was right. Did he still want her? Or was he just seeking a moment of comfort and familiarity? He scrubbed his body under the shower, letting the cool water cascade through his body. He couldn't help but let his mind wander back to his recent intimate moment with Amelia. It was different, something about it felt deeper, more meaningful than anything he had experienced before. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was a sense of connection that he didn't feel with Lila.As he stepped out of the bathroom, his thoughts were interrupted by Lila's voice. "Hey, drop my towel," she said with a mischievous smile. Andrew chuckled and used the towel to dry his hair before draping it over his shoulders."Come over to the mansion, Lila," Andrew suggested, hoping to spend more time with her. But Lila seemed hesitant. "I don't know how long I'll be in
Andrew rubbed his eyes and yawned as he shuffled towards the bed. He gazed at Lila, still sound asleep with her hair strewn across the pillow. They had had a rough night, but it was worth it.He gently untangled himself from her embrace and stood up, stretching his arms and legs, trying to work out the kinks from last night's activities.He walked over to the window and opened the blinds, letting in the bright morning sunlight. The view outside was stunning, with the trees and mountains in the distance.Andrew then pulled out his phone from his pocket and checked the time. 8am - not too bad, he thought.He also checked to see if there were any messages from Tony. He was supposed to come pick him up this morning, but there was no message from him.He scrolled through his messages to see if there was any message or if Tony left any, but it was clear. He let out a small sigh and set his phone down on the table.He decided to make himself some coffee, but as he walked into the kitchenette
Amelia made her way down the grand staircase, the soft wool of her dressing gown trailing behind her. She had woken up early, the sun barely peeking over the horizon, she walked up to the study to check on Andrew since he didn't show up the previous day.As she approached his study, she hesitated before knocking on the door. She took a deep breath, then knocked twice. But there was no response.She waited for a few seconds, then held the knob and opened the door. "Andrew?" she called out, but there was no answer. What if he was busy? she thought to herself.She stepped into the room, and her eyes widened in surprise. The study was still in a bit of a mess. Books were scattered everywhere, papers were strewn across the desk, and the curtains were drawn.She realized that Andrew didn't come back home."Andrew didn't come back, hmmm," she said to herself, her brow furrowing in concern.She remembered Andrew putting something in his drawer yesterday when she had walked in. Her curiosity
Nanny Grace cleared her throat, sensing the awkward moment, and stepped forward."Lila dear, I'm so happy to see you. Come, let me take you to the guest room."But Andrew interrupted her, his eyes fixed on Lila. "No, nana, thanks. Please take her things upstairs to Alexander's room."Lila looked back at Andrew, her eyes alight with amusement. "Oooohh... Seems you want to spoil me," she teased, and Amelia felt a pang of envy.Feeling out of place, Amelia turned and walked away, making her way to the kitchen where she could be alone with her thoughts. She knew she had to keep her emotions in check if she was going to survive the weekend with Lila in the house.Nanny Grace made her way up the grand staircase, carefully balancing Lila's luggage in her hands. She couldn't help but notice the tension between Amelia and Lila, and knew that she had to tread carefully. As they reached the top of the stairs, she turned to Lila with a warm smile."Here we are, dear. Alexander's room is just do
Amelia sighed, rolling her eyes. "Am I not just a business transaction between you and my dad?" she retorted. "This shouldn't be a problem."She finally emerged from the bathroom, dressed and ready for breakfast. Without a word, she walked past Andrew and headed downstairs. She walked into the kitchen and saw Lila carrying a plate of food to the dining table. Lila smiled brightly as she saw Amelia and said, "Amelia darling, I made breakfast, Andrew's favorite."Amelia felt a pang of annoyance at Lila's countenance. She was tired of Lila's constant attempts to be friendly and pretend like nothing had happened in Turkey."Thanks, Lila," Amelia said flatly. She walked over to the dining table and took a seat, trying to ignore the feeling of Lila's eyes on her."Amelia, should I dish your food now?" Nanny Grace asked as she walked up to her."Yes, Nana. Thanks," Amelia replied, grateful for the distraction. She looked down at her plate as Nanny Grace held it up and dished in the mashed
Andrew's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Alexander. "Are you fucking crazy? What the hell is this?" he exclaimed, his voice rising with every word.Alexander chuckled, his eyes glinting with a mixture of amusement and malice. "It's what it is, bro. I'm suing you," he replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Andrew shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Alexander was actually trying to take him to court. "You think you can get away with everything?" he asked incredulously.Alexander's expression hardened. "I don't think. I know," he said, his tone oozing with arrogance.Andrew clenched his fists, feeling the anger coursing through his veins. "You have no right over Catherine's shares, no right," he seethed, his voice low and dangerous.Alexander shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Well, let's see what the court has to say," he said, a wicked smirk tugging at the corners of his lips."You're fucking crazy." Andrew stormed. Alexander's expression hardened. "W
Acting quickly, Alexander bent down and dodged the flying plate, narrowly avoiding injury, but the sound of it crashing against the wall echoed through the room.Lila, realizing the situation was escalating, ran out of the dining room to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. Meanwhile, Nanny Grace stood there, watching the two men with a look of horror on her face. She couitake it any longer."Stooooop! Stop this!" she screamed, her voice trembling with fear. "Your parents would be ashamed of the assholes you both have turned into. Sto... stop…" But before she could finish her statement, she started breathing fast. Andrew noticed it and rushed over to her, saying, "Nana, nana... are you alright?"But Nanny Grace's heartbeat had increased, and she was feeling dizzy and disoriented. It was clear that the stress of the situation had taken its toll on her.But it was too late. Her heart rate had increased to dangerous levels, and she suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious.Andrew and
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
