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

    "Good day, Mr. Reynolds. I'm sorry for the delay," Detective Stone replied, his voice measured and calm. "The investigation still isn't over yet, but we discovered something else, something more deadly."Andrew stood there, his eyes wide with curiosity. "Come in," he said, his voice hoarse with tension.Detective Stone stepped inside and immediately took note of the chaos that surrounded them. The living room was a mess, with broken glass strewn about."Woah, what happened here Mr Reynolds?" he asked, his eyes widening in surprise. "You threw a circus?" He joked, trying to lighten the mood.Andrew laughed, despite the tension in the air. "That would have been better. The circus we had here landed Nanny Grace in the hospital."Detective Stone's expression turned serious. "Oh, I'm sorry, sir. Is there anything I can do to help?"Andrew shook his head. "No, it's fine. Come with me to my study. Let's talk."They made their way through the house, Andrew leading the way. They got to the stu

    Detective Stone looked at him with a serious expression. "We're still investigating, sir," he said. "But we have reason to believe that it was someone close to you, someone who knew you well enough to plan this."Andrew sat down heavily in his chair, his mind reeling from Detective Stone's words. He reached into his drawer and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, offering one to the detective. "You care for some?" he asked, trying to distract himself from the pain."No, sir, I'm fine," Detective Stone replied, his voice gentle. "But you need to calm down so we can figure this out."Andrew chuckled bitterly as he lit his cigarette with practiced ease. "Calm down? I had an accident that almost took my life not up to a day after I got married. It's been months and you're still trying to find who is responsible."Detective Stone nodded sympathetically. "I understand, sir, but...""You do not understand," Andrew interrupted, his voice rising in anger. "I mourned Catherine for three years and

    Andrew took a drag from his cigarette before standing up from his chair and walking over to the window. Lila watched as he stood up, his cigarette smoke lingering in the air around him. She could tell from the determined set of his jaw that he had something in mind - something that made her both curious and a little uneasy."What do you plan on doing?" Lila asked, her eyes following Andrew's movements as he walked towards the window."I have my ways," Andrew replied cryptically, his gaze fixed on the cityscape outside.Lila raised an eyebrow. "Is it what I'm thinking?"Andrew turned to face her, his expression inscrutable. "They still have some debts they owe me, so this little favor won't kill."Lila frowned, a sense of foreboding settling over her. "I suggest you wait for the detective, though," she said.Andrew didn't respond as he continued to blow smoke out the window. Suddenly, his phone vibrated on the table. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Tony."Hello boss, na

    Amelia didn't say a word to Andrew as he drove them to the hospital, the tension between them palpable. She simply turned her face away, looking out the window as the world outside blurred past her.Before she knew it, they had arrived at the hospital, and Andrew pulled over. He got out of the car and Amelia followed behind him, still not saying anything. As they walked towards the entrance, Amelia's heart was pounding in her chest.Tony spotted them and walked over. "Boss," he said, "the doctor just told me not quite long that she's stable now."Andrew nodded, relieved. "Thanks," he said, before walking up to the front desk."I'm here for Nanny Grace," he told the nurse there.The nurse looked up at him and smiled. "Mr Reynolds," she said, "please follow me."Andrew looked back at Amelia as she walked behind him, her expression unreadable. The nurse directed Andrew and Amelia into Nanny Grace's ward and opened the door for them. "Here ma'am, here sir." She said as they walked in.N

    Andrew sat hunched over his desk, pouring over a stack of documents that seemed to grow taller with each passing hour. He had been going through them for hours, trying to stay focused.It had been two weeks since Nanny Grace's discharge from the hospital.As he sifted through the pages, lost in thought, the door to his study creaked open. He looked up to see Nanny Grace standing in the doorway, a small cake balanced in her arms. Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door, and before he could even respond, Nanny Grace and Lila burst into the room, holding a small cake and singing "Happy Birthday." Andrew couldn't help but smile at their enthusiasm, despite feeling a bit overwhelmed by their sudden intrusion.As Nanny Grace set the cake down on his desk, she looked at him with concern. "You've been cooped up in here all night," she said. "Why not take a break and come outside for a bit?"Andrew shook his head. "I'm fine, Nana. I just have a lot of work to do."Nanny Grace walked over to h

    He reached out to touch her face, but pulled back at the last moment. "Is that why you slept with him?"Amelia's eyes widened in shock, she pulled away from Andrew and said. "I didn't sleep with Henry!""I didn't sleep with Henry," she repeated, her voice trembling."But Andrew only seemed to grow more agitated. "It's easy for you to say," he spat, standing up and adjusting himself. "But I don't believe you.""You're the first man I've slept with," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "And you know this, but you keep insisting I had something to do with Henry."Andrew's eyes blazed with fury. "All of you are just the same," he said, his voice rising. "You're all cheats, every last one of you."Amelia felt her own anger stir at this. "Just because Catherine cheated on you doesn't mean every other lady is a cheat," she said, her voice firm.But this only seemed to make Andrew more irate. Without warning, he lashed out, his hand connecting with Amelia's cheek in a sharp slap. Amel

    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!!!"

I'll drive myself," he replied with a smile.Tony said, "are you sure boss?""Nah… I'm fine, hand me the keys."

    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

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.

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.

    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.
