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
Amelia and Henry pulled up to the hospital in a rush, the tires screeching against the pavement as Henry applied the brakes. Amelia looked at the GPS location on Henry's phone, then turned to him and said, "Yes, that should be it."Without a moment to lose, Henry pulled over and the two of them made their way into the hospital. As they approached the front desk, Amelia took a deep breath and prepared herself for what was to come."Good day, please. I'm looking for an elderly woman that was brought in here today," Amelia said, her voice steady and confident.The nurse at the desk, who had been busy with some files, looked up at Amelia and then at Henry. "So many people were brought in here today, may I know who exactly?" she asked, a hint of annoyance in her voice.Henry stepped forward and said, "Grace, Nanny Grace. I'm sure she was rushed in here by my cousin, Andrew Reynolds."The nurse's expression softened as she checked her computer system for any information. "Ah, yes. We do hav
Her phone slipped out of her hand as she struggled to keep her balance. Her heart raced, and she felt like she was going to pass out. She knew she needed help, but her pride wouldn't allow her to ask for it. She clenched her jaw and took deep breaths, trying to steady herself.She stumbled towards a parked car, grasping at the door for support."Hey, miss, are you okay?" a voice called out from inside the car.Amelia took a deep breath and straightened up, trying to regain her composure. "I'm fine, thanks," she said slowly, her voice unsteady.The man looked at her skeptically, his eyes lingering on her for a moment longer. "Are you sure? You look like you could use a hand." "Are you going my way?" he asked finally. "I can drop you off."Amelia shook her head, her irritation growing. "Thanks for the offer," she said, her words clipped. "But I'll order a ride now. Thanks."The man shrugged and whined up his car window before driving off."What's wrong with me?" she muttered to hersel
Andrew noticed her faltering and quickly rushed to her side, concern etched on his face. "Amelia, what's wrong?" he asked urgently.Before he could get close to her, Amelia's eyes rolled back in her head and she collapsed. Luckily, Andrew was quick to catch her before she hit the ground. He cradled her in his arms, feeling her weight against him as she fainted."Amelia, can you hear me?" he called out, his voice filled with worry as he gently laid her down on the ground. He checked her pulse and breathing, making sure she was okay.Andrew was in a state of panic as he carried Amelia to the bedroom and gently placed her on the bed. Lila, who was still on the bed, was shocked to see him carrying Amelia and quickly asked, "What happened? Is she okay?""I don't know," Andrew replied frantically. "Just get me some water, quick!"Lila rushed to get water, quickly putting on her dress, her heart racing with fear. Andrew checked Amelia's pulse and breathing, trying to assess the situation.
Amelia sat on the bed, her body wracked with sobs as Andrew's hurtful words echoed in her mind.She hated everything at that moment. Her dad, herself, everything. She couldn't help but regret the day she gave herself to Andrew."I would have just let you go to jail, dad," she muttered to herself. "Than marry me off to Andrew." She cried harder, feeling like her life was in shambles."This alone is worse than prison," she said, her voice shaking with emotion. A part of her still felt something for Andrew, but the pain and betrayal were too much to bear."He enjoyed hurting me, making me suffer," she realized with a heavy heart. "I deserve more than this, but there's no way out of this marriage." She knew that leaving Andrew would only cause more trouble for her family's business, and she couldn't bear to be responsible for that.Andrew walked down the stairs, his mind consumed by his recent encounter with Amelia. He barely registered Lila's presence as she came out of Alexander's bedr
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
