Gerard had grown increasingly impatient with each passing minute. His fingers drummed a staccato rhythm against the armrest of the luxurious lounge chair, the heavy atmosphere of the VIP room feeling stifling. His steely black eyes, accustomed to assessing situations and individuals with cold precision, pierced through the dense shroud of cigarette smoke that hung like a ghostly veil.In that dimly lit enclave of the exclusive club, North and William exchanged anxious glances. They knew all too well the tempestuous nature of their employer, and the prospect of incurring his wrath for tardiness was a prospect neither relished."Look at him," William muttered, barely audible above the sultry jazz music that filled the room. He inclined his head subtly toward Gerard, who had abruptly risen from his seat, a determined urgency in his gait as he strode toward the exit.North followed Gerard's path with a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. They could not afford any delay, especially

"But I can't just stay cooped up here. I need something to distract myself. How about we go to that piano store we've been talking about for ages?"Ella agreed wholehea

Amelie's heart raced as she heard Gerard's voice and recognized the familiar scent of the perfume she had once gifted him on his birthday. Her initial shock quickly turned into a tumultuous blend of anger, confusion, and resentment. What did he want from her now? She despised him for what he had done to her, for the pain he had caused.

Nathan sat in his dimly lit apartment, the soft glow of his computer screen casting a faint light on his face. He had been tirelessly searching the internet for any information that could link Amelie Morgan, formerly known as Amelie White, to his long-lost sister, Yvette. The screen displayed details of Amelie's life: her birthplace, her parents, and how she had come to be the wife of Senator Morgan.Yet, as Nathan read through the information, he couldn't find any connection between Amelie and his sister Yvette.

Gerard's grip on Amelie's shoulder remained firm as he sought answers, his concern unwavering. His persistence made Ivy push him away, her voice laced with irritation, "Let go of me, what more do you want again?""I don't want anything, Mrs. Amelie," Gerard replied softly. "I just want to make sure you're fine before you leave for your home."Amelie's response dripped with sarcasm, "It's not as if you cared. Anyway, I'm fine. Just let me leave."Gerard was undeterred by her attitude and continued his inquiry, mentioning the maid's words about helping with her bruises. Amelie fell silent, unsure of how to explain.Gerard urged her to answer, holding her once more, and inadvertently touching a bruised spot on her body. Amelie winced in pain and cried out, "Ouch! You're hurting me!"He immediately released her, his remorse evident in his voice, "I was right after all. You're hurt. Did I hurt you last night? I'm really sorry if I did."Amelie remained silent, her thoughts clouded with the

You are truly a capable businessman, Sir,” Ella couldn’t stop praising him.Ella's praise warmed Nathan's heart. "Nathan, not ‘Sir’,” he reminded her for the umpteenth time. “And stop flattering me, Ella. I'm just trying my best," he modestly replied, although secretly pleased.

Amelie lay on her bed, her voice trembling as she answered Ella's call."Hello," she said."Ella," she continued, "I'm not doing well. I need to talk."Ella, on the other end of the line, listened intently, offering her a shoulder to lean on."Amelie," Ella's voice was filled with concern. "What's going on? You sound so distressed. Are you okay?"Amelie hesitated for a moment. She wanted to tell Ella everything, to share her pain, but the fear of the Senator's wrath held her back. Instead, she decided to confide in her friend about something less revealing."I'm just going through a tough time," Amelie said, her voice quivering. "It's nothing major, really."Ella's voice was warm and reassuring. "You don't have to hide anything from me, Amelie. I'm here for you, no matter what. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'll be right by your side."Tears welled up in Amelie's eyes as she realized how lucky she was to have a friend like Ella.
