Chapter 121

Amelia's POVI almost punched Rebecca in the face when she drew the curtains open. “Arise and shine.” She said in a rather unusual chirpy voice. I wanted to reply, “Don’t bother with cheering me up. It won't work.” Instead I say, “Good morning, Rebecca.” I ate breakfast alone in my bedroom. Lachlan was gone by the time I awoke. But there was a note that said he was sorry he couldn't stay and that he had an important meeting to attend. I folded the note and put it in my dress pocket. I didn't have the heart to rip the paper. He had made an effort to apologise. After watching TV, I concluded that the rest of my morning would be bleak and uninteresting. It was me, and the guards and their prying eyes wouldn't lose sight of me. I needed to climb out of my shell. In this case, the shell was the house. “Going somewhere, ma'am?” One of the guards asked as I rose from the sofa. “Yes. Just the garden. It's right outside.” I pointed at the glass floor to ceiling window that revealed

Chapter 122

Lachlan's POVThe sweet scent of jasmine filled my nostrils when Amelia walked in. Just her smile was enough to ease the weight of the day off my shoulders. Of course, we have had our fair share of arguments lately, but I was hoping we could settle everything and have a chance to relax and stay in each other's arms tonight. No one else, just the two of us together. “Hey.” I called out as I set my briefcase down, the aroma of dinner wafting through the air. “I’m home."She appeared from the dining room, her face lighting up when she saw me. That smile—God, I’d missed it. “Welcome home, love, how was work?” She said softly, walking over to me. My face spread into a wider smile till my cheeks were hurting, but I didn't care. I would endure any form of pain because of her. I leaned down to kiss her forehead. “It smells amazing here.” I said, my voice sounding warm and inviting. “Go wash up; dinner’s almost ready.” She ordered gently, pushing me upstairs. I chuckled and obeyed; momen

Chapter 123

Eric's povI slammed the door shut leaving behind a loud echo in the living room.Aunt Bailey, who had been so focused on the book on her lap, jolted from the bang.“Eric, you gave my heart fright. Why did you shut the door like that?” She said in her usual whiny voice that pissed me off.“I don't have the time to deal with you right now.” I walked past her to the sleek, modern bar that dominated one wall of the living room.“Eric, did you just speak to me in that manner?” She dropped the book on the table beside her.I ignored her as I slid into one of the stools and reached for the crystal decanter sitting on the polished counter. “Eric…” Aunt Bailey called out, and I snapped.“What exactly do you want from me, woman?” “Eric… What is wrong with you? Did something terrible happen at the office?” I could hear the hurt in her voice as she spoke, but I didn't care. I was too angry to care. Now was not the bloody time to fix a smile on my face. I took an empty glass and poured myself

Chapter 124

Amelia's POVI snapped the stem off the cherry, the plump fruit now free of the little leaves attached to it.“What colour should I paint this time?” Lillian asked. She had returned yesterday after hearing what happened at the house a few days ago. Typical Lilian. She didn't stop wailing even when she hugged me. I knew she missed me and I missed her too.I popped the cherry in my mouth, enjoying the juicy sweetness with my eyes closed.“I think pink and blue.” I replied with my eyes closed relishing the taste of the cherry. Nowadays, my cravings are off the charts. Just an hour ago, I had a big bucket of ice cream and now, it's onto fruits.“Alright. Pink and blue it is.” Lillian smiled as she propped my swollen feet on the pillow on her lap.I watched Lilian smoothly glide the nail polish brush over my toe nails. For a brief moment, I almost forgot I was pregnant. “Babe?” I heard Lachlan call for me.“We're in the garden!” I called back, popping another cherry into my mouth.“There

Chapter 125.

ERIC’S POVFew hours earlier,Smoke curled around Cassie’s face as she exhaled. “That's pretty much it.”I thought over her plan in my head. It was crazy. “Are you sure it'll work?”“Undoubtedly.” She replied confidently, leaning against the hood of my car.“But staging an accident requires the services of a pro, and I am not starving for death.” I rolled my eyes.“It won't be a major accident, but it'll look like one. Trust me, I've been on too many movie sets to see how it's done.” She smiled.It was almost too good to be true. “If things go south...”“Don't be such a baby, Eric. You're only going to ram your car into the truck over there, and it'll get a little scratched, but you'll survive without one.” she interrupted.“Hmmm.” I was still contemplating this.“Look, buddy, the plan is to guilt-trip Amelia, isn't it?” Cassie smiled. “Once the accident is staged, I'll make sure word gets to the press. Just imagine the look on Amelia's face when she discovers the truth. She'll come c

Chapter 126

LACHLAN’S POVAs I glanced at the Patek Philippe Nina that got me on my birthday last year, I knew my patience was wearing thin. This was the umpteenth time that I was checking the time. If anyone took the hint, they would know I wanted to leave. Badly.We were going over the quarterly sales forecast update, and each time a word leaves Jeremy's lips, I die. If there was an award to be given to the most boring business meeting, it would be the quarterly sales forecast because why would an entire team of over a hundred professionals loop me in their boring discussion about sales pipeline management and data? I'm the CEO. I should be doing nothing at all!“Now, we'll move onto the final agenda of the meeting.” Jeremy flipped his clipboard over.I let out a deep sigh. "Finally."I looked around the conference room. Everyone was trying so hard not to sleep; their eyes drooped and their faces grew fatigued. I suddenly felt pity for them and wanted to cancel the meeting, but if we don't go o

Chapter 127

LACHLAN'S POVI looked between Amelia and Eric, not knowing what to say or do. Eric slowly turned to me and offered a small smile. "Oh, hello there, Lachlan.”There was a gash on his forehead and little bruises here and there. His left leg was even wrapped in a bandage. He looked like someone who had an accident. Amelia, who was sitting right beside him, rose to her feet. “Lachlan, what are you doing here?” Now, that question undid the frozen spell. “Same goes. What exactly are you doing here?” Lilian cut in. “Sir, we heard Sir Truman was in the hospital and...”“I don't pay you to put your nose in my business, so shut up!” I snapped.This infuriated Amelia. “What is wrong with you? Why are you yelling at her?”I pinched the skin between my brows. “Do you even know how scared I was when I heard you were in the hospital?” Her face pinched in puzzlement. “What? Hospital?”“You're in a goddamn hospital, are you not?” I raised my voice.“Don't you dare raise your voice at me?!” Ameli

Chapter 128

CASSIE'S POVNina’s smile turned sour, and she crossed her arm over her chest. "You... what's the likes of you doing here?” Normally, I'd expect her to kiss and hug me like we used to, but now we just stared daggers at each other. Things haven't been the same since she stumbled upon me and Chris.I noticed Lachlan watching us with narrowed eyes as though calculating my very next move. The old Cassandra would've retorted sharply without delay, but if I had to prove that I've changed, I’d have to act like it. So instead of yelling back at Nina, I bowed my head and apologised.“I'm sorry if my presence upsets you." Then I lifted my head. “If there's nothing else, I'd best be on my way.”The room was left stunned. I could tell because they stared with wide eyes. Now, I have their attention. Bloody fools.I picked up my purse, ready to leave, but Lach’s mom stopped me. “Come on, Cassie. Don't do that. Don't leave because of us.” She gave me a warm smile.Ah, this one has always been my

Chapter 129

AMELIA'S POV I haven't had a nightmare in a while, but last night, I had one. I knew I had a nightmare because I woke up screaming. The odd thing about it was that I did not remember what it was about. I remember Lachlan coddling me back to sleep after that and sleeping next to me. But as soon as I wake up, he's gone. This time he left a white rose and a note: “No matter what happens, I'll never stop giving you these flowers, even if my heart stops beating. Love, your stupid husband.” Normally, I would gush over this note and flower. Strangely, I don't feel anything of the sort. My hand flew to my chest as I contemplated what was happening to me. I was suddenly interrupted by the light ping of my phone. I reached for the bedside table and grabbed it. The screen powered on, and I found a message from the notification bar. I opened it and realised it was a message from Eric. As I read it, my eyes filled. “Hey, sunshine. I call you that because your sun

Chapter 130.

AMELIA'S POV In Lachlan's eyes, I probably come off as the villain. It was undeniable. I could see it. The hate, the disgust, how he was lost for words for how I've changed. I, too, am shocked at myself. Why am I behaving the way I am? Ah, it must be these pregnancy hormones. The chauffeur pulled up at the hospital. I shifted towards the door, wondering if this was the right decision at all. But when the chauffeur held the door open and extended his hand to help me out, I knew there was no going back. My sandals hit the soft pavement, and I clutched my purse tightly. The chauffeur took a step back and stared at me as though waiting for further instructions. His glassy blue eyes held no emotion, but his hands trembled as though there was something he wanted to say. Mark or Michael, was it? I couldn't remember his name. The company sends us different drivers every week. I could barely keep up with all their names. I sensed his worry and pulled up a bright smile. “I'm going t
