Chapter 21 - Did I Hurt You?

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2023-11-20 00:14:56
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. It was frustrating. He had been searching for Yvette for years, and each lead had led to a dead end. This one seemed no different.

His tired eyes scanned the words on the screen. It all seemed too perfect, too neatly tied together. Amelie's parents saving the senator, her parents' tragic death, and her subsequent marriage to him – it sounded like something out of a storybook, and Nathan couldn't help but wonder if it was too good to be true.

    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

    “So, do you prefer to be called Ellie or Ella?” Nathan asked the breathtaking woman seated in his front passenger seat.“Either one is fine,” Ella waved her hand dismissively.“Ella it is, then,” Nathan decided with a smile.As he drove Ella home along the city's vibrant streets, a lively conversation unfolded.“I still can’t believe someone as young as you can become the CEO of the number one group in Esmea. 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. It wasn't every day that he found himself engaged in such a lively conversation with a lady, but there was something captivating about her.Nathan's curiosity got the best of him.

    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. She knew she couldn't share the darkest aspects o

    The large, imposing man couldn't endure the woman's incessant talk any longer. His frustration reached a boiling point, and he strode purposefully toward her. As he drew nearer, the room seemed to tighten with tension, and the woman fell silent the moment she saw him. Her lips clamped shut, and her eyes widened in fear. She watched with a mix of dread and anxiety as the man approached. He gripped her chin with a vice-like hold, his fingers strong and unyielding. In his other hand, he brandished a menacing pistol, the cold barrel pressed against her trembling cheek."Enough, you old woman," he growled, annoyance lacing his voice, as the firearm bore down upon her.The woman, gripped by fear, ceased her struggles and her voice fell silent. Tears welled up in her eyes, her gaze locked onto the gun's cold metal.
