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
The nurse was taken aback by Andrew's harsh tone, but she quickly composed herself and tried to explain. "Mr Reynolds, I'm sorry sir," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "I didn't take a good look at you sir. She was taken into intensive care, Mr. Reynolds."But Andrew was not interested in her excuses. He needed answers, and he needed them now. "That's not what I asked you," he said, his voice rising in frustration. "I need the doctor in charge immediately."The nurse flinched at his tone, but she knew better than to argue with him. "Yes, sir," she said quickly, scurrying off to find the doctor.Andrew paced the small room, his mind consumed with worry. He couldn't bear the thought of losing Nanny Grace. And Amelia's lack of response only frustrated him."Hey, it's fine, I'm here," Lila said softly, trying to comfort him. "You don't have to go through this alone."Andrew turned to her, his eyes red and puffy from tears. "I just can't lose her," he said, his voice breaking. "She
Lila, always quick to add her opinion, chimed in. "I saw her stepping out with Henry," she said slyly, watching Andrew's reaction closely. When there was no immediate response, she continued. "Seems like they're getting pretty close, don't you think?"Andrew's knuckles turned white as he gripped his phone tightly, trying to reach Amelia again. But once again, there was no answer. Lila's words only served to fuel his anxiety further."What's her relationship with Henry?" she prodded.Andrew let out a deep sigh, his exhaustion evident. "I don't know," he said wearily, "Can we talk about something else?"Lila's expression softened, and she leaned her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry," she whispered, tracing a gentle hand up his arm to his lips. "Or do you want something else?"Andrew sighed, his body relaxing slightly. Lila's touch was a welcome distraction.As she turned his face towards hers and kissed him, Tony quickly averted his gaze, adjusting the mirror to avoid the intimate mome
Amelia stared out of the car window, her jaw clenched tight with fury. She had just left Andrew Reynolds' mansion, seething with anger and frustration.She couldn't bring herself to voice her frustration to Henry. He had been kind enough to offer her a ride, but she didn't want to burden him with her troubles.Henry, however, was not one to let things go unsaid. He turned to her, concern etched on his handsome features. "Are you okay?" he asked softly.Amelia didn't answer. She simply continued to stare out the window, her jaw set in a firm line.Henry sighed, frustration creeping into his tone. "Hey, I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong," he said, his voice growing louder. "I let you follow me, and you're still not saying anything. You've been mute since we left."Amelia's silence was starting to grate on Henry's nerves. He pulled over to the side of the road, the tires screeching against the asphalt. Amelia jolted in her seat, her hands flying up to grab the door handl
