Chapter 31: Amelia and Isabel Have a Moment

Amelia was immediately sorry she said anything to Alex. The angry look on his face made her mouth go dry. "She said that? Those were her exact words.""Yes," Amelia said, now sorry that she told Alex about the encounter with Tory. Amelia should have just brushed it off. She wasn't in a romantic relationship with Alex. She was sleeping with him and having his baby. Some part of her must want more, even knowing that Tory was right. She wasn't his type.Alex ran his hands through his hair. "I'm sorry. I'll take care of this.""There's nothing to take care of.""She needs to stay away from you. I won't have you upset."It was Amelia's turn to squeeze Alex's hands. "I shouldn't have let it affect me.""It's not your fault, Amelia. Don't downplay it. Tory needs to know that she can't get away with this."Alex rose."What are you going to do Alex?" Amelia asked. She didn't want him to get in any trouble."I'm going to see her. Don't wait for dinner for me."Alex left and Amelia rushed into

Chapter 32: Amelia Has a Problem

"Alex?"Amelia's voice reached Alex in the fog of him just about to wake up. She hadn't stayed with him that night telling him that she wanted to see how her new-found truce with Isabel was working. She wouldn't throw what was going on between her and Alex in Isabel's face. She preferred to ease her into it. Even though Isabel knew they had already spent one night together, Amelia hoped she would get used to the idea before they brought things to the public.The sun hadn't risen just yet so the room was still dark. "Amelia?"Alex shook the sleep out of his head when the tone of Amelia's voice reached his consciousness. He sat up and turned the light on. "What's wrong?"Amelia had a hand on her stomach. "I'm having a little bleeding. Not much, but I'm concerned."Now Alex was concerned. He rubbed a hand down his face. "Okay. I'll drive. I know where the hospital is.""I need to call my doctor.""You do that and I'll get dressed."She left him and spoke in the hallway. When he left his

Chapter 33: Alex Takes Care of Amelia

The household staff greeted Amelia when she returned from the hospital. Word must have gotten around the house. She was happy the baby was fine. The doctor suggested a day or two of rest and to avoid stressful situations. It was mid-morning."I'm going to shower and go to work," Isabel said as they were just inside the door. "Do you need anything before I go?"Amelia could only marvel at the change in Isabel. She hoped it was truly a transformation and that it would stay. It couldn't hurt to have Isabel as a friend. "I think I'll be fine. Thanks."Alex hadn't left her side except to get the car when she was leaving the hospital. Isabel nodded and left them. Amelia studied Alex. "What happened there?""I just assured her that she was loved," Alex said. As if that needed no other explanation. Maybe that was all Isabel needed. Wasn't that all anyone needed? To know that they are loved. Amelia could use the same things, but Alex's actions said a lot. He'd taken her to the hospital. She

Chapter 34: Lunch with Kalia

"I can't believe you work a corporate job now," Kalia said as she hugged Amelia outside the restaurant. "Did you ever think you'd see that?" Amelia asked. Amelia had decided to take the job offer at Hillen Industries. After Alex paid her hospital bill, she knew she needed to do something for herself. She was rarely sick, but there would be pregnancy checkups and well-baby visits in her future. Alex had suggested she invest in the retirement account the company would set up for all employees. Amelia had never been so financially responsible until she was pregnant with a billionaire's baby. "No, not at all," Kalia said holding the door open for her.They were seated at a table by the window. This was the first time Amelia and seen Kalia since she found out she was pregnant. "You look great. Pregnancy agrees with you," Kalia said. "How is life in the corporate world?""Not nearly as bad as I thought. I think I'm close to tracking down Alex's hacker.""Isn't his game launching soon?"

Chapter 35: Alex's Surprise

Kalia's pronouncement gave Amelia a lot to think about. Was she in love with Alex? So quickly. Maybe it was just pregnancy hormones. If she was falling in love with him, she was going to get hurt."Are you okay?" Alex asked as he climbed into the car at the end of the day. "How did your lunch with Kalia go?""It was good to catch up with her.""You look concerned about something."It had been a long day and Amelia didn't want to get into a serious conversation right now so she didn't ask. "No, I'm fine.""Okay. I've been doing some thinking."The driver pulled out of the lot and onto the highway. Amelia glanced out the window and then back to Alex. "About what specifically? I bet you think about many things every single day. You do run a company."He sighed. "I mean about us."Great. They were going to have this conversation. Today. After Kalia insisted that Amelia was in love with Alex. This might be too much right now. Then again maybe it was better to get this over with. If they cl

Chapter 36: Alex Reconsiders

When they reached the house, Amelia was agitated. "I need to go for a drive.""You can take the driver and go."She shook her head. "I want to go by myself."Alex didn't like that idea at all, but he figured Amelia wasn't going to listen to him. "Please?"She sighed. "I need some time to think some things through.""He'll take you anywhere you want. He'll stay in the car and not bother you."She put her hands on her hips, which meant she was digging in. How did he get around her? He wasn't sure she was safe to drive in her present emotional state. He couldn't come out and say that. She'd be doubly mad at him. He paused to choose his words, but for the first time in his life, none were coming. "Just the driver. I won't ask where you're going."She frowned but nodded. "Okay. It's my time."Alex had things to think about, too. The proposal seemed like the right answer. They would be bringing their child up in a safe and secure environment. Maybe it was her age that was holding her back.

Chapter 37: No One Is Obeying

Alex stared out his window his heart beating rapidly. Frustration fisted his hands and he tried to loosen them when they hurt. A few weeks ago, his life had been in order. He had his house, his daughter, and his company. Everything was in order. One night with a beautiful young woman seemed to change all that. Before today he would have said that was a good thing. Today he wasn't so sure.That was why he jumped a little when Madge entered his office. He didn't know what else could go wrong. They were weeks out from the game launch and everything was on track. "Henrik said he still hasn't found the hacker," Madge said. "He can't do much without Amelia."Alex swiveled his chair to look at her. "Guess he wasn't man enough to come up and tell me himself?""I took the information because I know how much of a grumpy bear you're being today. He didn't need your wrath.""And you're willing to take it for him?" Alex asked. She waved a hand. "You don't scare me, Alex Hillen."He tented his h

Chapter 38: Amelia in Danger

Amelia was finally ready to go back to work.That morning a strange email on her laptop made her stop. She assumed it was spam, but she wasn't sure. It was cryptic and she would have dismissed it, but something made her open it. She read it and it still didn't make sense. It must have been computer-generated because none of it made sense. She forwarded it to Isabel for her opinion and then shut down her laptop. She was bringing her own car to work because she had errands to run afterward. Her phone was dead so she plugged it into a car charger.Amelia was happy to get out of the house. She hadn't seen Alex or Isabel that morning, but she poured decaffeinated coffee into a travel mug and left. Her trip to work was uneventful, she figured that was going to change when Isabel greeted her at the door the Hillen Enterprises. "What's wrong?" Amelia asked. Isabel dragged her into one of the first-floor conference rooms. "I had the cybersecurity trace that email.""You work fast.""Well,

Chapter 39: Alex Reveals Pregnancy to His Mother

Alex knew this visit was long overdue. If the paparazzi that sometimes followed him had ever gotten a picture of him with Amelia, his mother would have been angry at him. Rightly so. They talked once a week and he hadn't get mentioned Amelia's presence. Isabel probably hadn't either which was good.This was a conversation best had in person.He paused on the front stoop of his mother's townhouse. She was in the middle of a senior living facility. She'd given up her home for more amenities. The door was painted purple and it made him smile whenever he saw it. She'd lobbied her Homeowner's Association to get it that color and won. His mother usually got what she wanted. He was happy he'd moved her to America after he had made it big in hockey. She'd preached family and he had learned well. That's why he'd hired his brother and his cousins in his company. Plus, he knew he could trust them.He rapped lightly on the door. It swung open. "I wondered when you were going to knock," Gwen Hi

Chapter 40: Dinner with Alex

After talking Isabel out of a bodyguard, Amelia was a little jumpy. Isabel refused to tell Alex and had sworn Amelia to secrecy. Promising she would take care of it, Isabel didn't push the idea of protection for Amelia. When Alex returned to the office, he looked at peace. Amelia wondered where he went, but it was none of her business. When he called her to his office, she was surprised and nervous. Had Isabel given in and told Alex?She greeted Madge. "He's waiting for you," she said. Amelia studied the woman, but she wasn't giving any hints as to what this meeting was about. "Thanks."Alex was seated behind his desk, staring out the window. She wondered why his office was on this side of the building when all to be seen was urban sprawl. Amelia preferred the opposite corner where she could view the woods. "Hey," she said, settling on a chair.He spun around with a smile on his face. "Hey. How are things going?"It sounded like a trick question, but she was probably reading into i
