As they began to speak, it was clear that Nathan had something important to address.

Nathan started the conversation with a hint of intrigue, "Mr. Huxley, I must admit that I'm genuinely surprised to find you interested in someone else's wife."

Gerard arched an eyebrow, slightly caught off guard by Nathan's statement. "Mr. Quinn, I'm not sure what you're implying."

Nathan leaned in closer, his voice low and measured. "I saw the Senator's wife in your car. She was the last person I expected to find in your company."

Gerard's eyes narrowed, a brief silence hanging between them. The atmosphere grew tense as Nathan's curiosity seemed to hone in on Amelie's presence in Gerard's car.

"What are you suggesting, Quinn?" Gerard inquired, his tone tinged with caution.

Nathan's voice carried a layer of suspicion. "It's not what I suggest, Huxley. It's what I know. The Senator has been using his wife in despicable ways, and it appears you might be involved."

    The following morning arrived, swift and silent. Gerard woke up, making preparations that hinted at an important meeting in his schedule. Every aspect of his attire was carefully chosen, each detail meticulously attended to. After perfecting the knot of his tie, he made his way to Amelie's room, where he discovered the door slightly ajar.Entering with the grace of a cat, Gerard found Amelie sleeping soundly. Her features bore an uncanny resemblance to Ivy, even in her slumber. The curve of her jaw, the way her hair gently fell over her face, all reminiscent of a painful past.Originally, Gerard had intended to gently wake her, inform her of his impending meeting, and reassure her that he might return late. However, as he gazed upon Amelie, so eerily similar to Ivy, he was momentarily mesmerized. He couldn't help himself; he leaned closer and, in that quiet moment, gently kissed her forehead, an act laced with both affection and inner turmoil. Amelie stirred slightly but remained deep

"What are you insinuating?" she questioned, her tone challenging.Gerard released her, but his eyes were filled with conviction. "I know what I'm saying. That song, that melody—it's etched in my memory."Amelie, using her cane for support, rose from the piano, attempting to maintain composure. "Mr. Huxley, what's all this?"Gerard persisted, "I know. There's only one person who played this, and that's Ivy. It can't be a mere coincidence that you know this song."Amelie sighed, attempting to deflect. "When will this daydreaming of yours end, Gerard? I've said countless times that I'm not your wife. This is just a common song that everyone knows. I thought of playing it, that's all.""No

"Ella, what is all this nonsense you've been hearing?" the Senator attempted to feign innocence, his voice strained."Don't play games with me, Senator. I heard everything. Amelie being sold to men? Is that what you're up to?" Ella shot back, her words cutting through the air.The Senator sighed, realizing the charade was over. "Look, it's not as simple as you think.

What's the deal with Amelie, and why was Huxley involved?"The Senator leaned forward, his expression serious. "Nathan, my friend, you need to understand the delicacy of our situation. Amelie is a key element in a significant deal with Huxley. You can't just barge in and complicate things."Nathan's eyes narrowed. "It's seems like you don't want my offer, Senator and that's okay.
