Nathan trudged home, his footsteps heavy with disappointment and frustration. His heart felt like it had been shattered into a million pieces, and there was an emptiness inside him that he couldn't ignore.

As he entered his dimly lit apartment, he couldn't help but replay the scene with Ella over and over in his mind. Her accusations had stung, but deep down, he knew she had every right to be angry. He had let her down, and he was the one responsible for the pain in her eyes.

Nathan walked to the small bar in his living room and poured himself a stiff drink. He needed something to numb the pain, even if just for a little while. The alcohol burned as it went down his throat, but he welcomed the sensation. It distracted him from the turmoil inside.

He sank into his worn-out armchair, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. His pursuit of his long-lost sister was in disarray, thanks to the heated argument with Huxley. It was ironic that he had hoped to find answers through the man but instead

    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

    In the dimly lit room, Ella who was unable to control her inner turmoil, confronted the Senator, her eyes ablaze with a mix of anger and disbelief. She had just barged into the mansion and she wasn't stopped; she wasn't new to the house. The Senator was uprooted from his seat by Ella's questions and expressions. "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. There are things you don't understand.""Things I don't understand? Like selling a woman to men? There's no excuse for that!" Ella's voice rose.The Senator, feeling cornered, leaned against the wall. "Ella, it's not what you think. There are... arrangements.""Arrangements? You're ruining someone's life for you

"Maria, have you ever felt like the past is catching up with you, and there's nothing you can do to escape it?"Maria nodded, understanding the weight of nostalgia. "Sometimes, the past has a way of resurfacing, but it's essential to confront it."Gerard looked at Maria, contemplating her words. He decided to confide in her, "Ivy used to play that song.

"Calm down, Nathan. We can't afford unnecessary attention. We're in this together."Nathan, though seething, decided to hear the Senator out. "I want answers, Senator. 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. Why call me here again?”Th
