Chapter 51

Lachlan There was a sudden rush into my office that caused me to look up in shock and then there was the struggle between Cassandra and my secretary regarding entrance into my office. I had earlier told Clara to make sure no one enters my office because I really craved some alone time with no disturbance as I worked. But well, apparently, someone was bent on ruining that already for me. “You can’t come in. Don’t you get it?” Clara said, after struggling for a while and yet Cassie won’t give up. I wasn’t expecting her to. I wondered why Clara did. “Lachlan are you really going to just stare at us struggling here?” Cassie asked me and I wondered the same.“Leave us Clara. Thank you.” At that instant the struggling stopped. Clara looked her in the eye and walked away.Cassandra stomped into my office angrily and I rolled my eyes. So much for desiring some peace and quiet.“You watched your secretary fight me for daring to enter your office and you could say nothing?” I still didn’t th

Chapter 52

Amelia The past month with Lachlan had been peaceful. No condescending words of any kind. No forcing me to family dinner against my wish. He had gone twice to the family dinner, and the second time he was going, he had asked me calmly if I wanted to tag along. I didn’t think I was ready for the drama that came with meeting those sadists, so I simply rejected it. I was prepared to fight him if he was going to force me against my will. But to much utmost surprise, he had accepted and walked away, telling me to take care of myself.Aside from that, he would always come to my room whenever he returned to ask how I was doing. Though I gave him the same answer all the time without going into details, even though I knew that was what he wanted, I appreciated the care.Regardless of how busy he was, he would always follow me for my antenatal or whenever I had an appointment with the doctor. Though I knew why he did so, I was still very grateful. We didn’t communicate much, but nothing truly

Chapter 53.

Lachlan “I am sincerely starting to doubt that Lachlan.” Cassie said after a long pause. I doubted that myself. But I couldn’t fall in love with her right? Right?! I was getting scared. Was I actually falling in love with her? I remained silent, wondering if Cassie was right this time.“Lachlan! Won’t you say something?” She asked after my long silence. “What else am I supposed to say? You can believe whatever you choose to. Look, I need to leave now.” I said and left the room, despite hearing her call. She was beginning to really annoy me.I walked to her room. I didn’t know what I was going to do or say when I got there. But I just wanted to go and see her. Probably apologize. But I didn’t know if I should apologize. We were still going to get divorced and it’s not like that was her first time meeting me with Cassie in that position.Cassie! She barged into my study unannounced. Reluctantly, I had let her sit on my lap and do her thing on me while I focused on my laptop, asking he

Chapter 54

Cassie It felt like my heart was shattered into a million pieces. I had walked out of the study to meet Lachlan when I was hearing voices from that bitch’s room. He had gone to pacify her. I was pissed. But curiosity took the best of me, so I stood behind to listen. I couldn’t believe it. Lachlan literally denied I was his wife. Of course I wasn’t his wife yet. But I will eventually be. Even that bitch realised it. But Lachlan opposed it like I was some pest he didn’t want to be associated with. I was still trying to heal from this when I began hearing some kissing sounds. I was dazed, and immediately, I turned to look through the peephole on the door, and I was destabilised that instant. It took me a while before I could catch my breath and get over the scene I had managed to catch through the peephole. I had only recovered after hearing that loser tell Lachlan to leave her room.I took it as my cue to leave too before I got caught. So quickly, I rushed down the stairs and out of

Chapter 55

EricI had just returned from a meeting and concluded some contract deals with some investors. It was a Herculean task, but I was glad we were able to get them to work with us. I was about to turn on my system to crosscheck some documents Esmeralda sent to me when I heard a knock on the door. I looked up to see Esmeralda enter my office with a tall, slender, and really good-looking lady. I wondered what was going on.“What is it Esmeralda?” I asked, looking confused.“She said her name is Cassandra, and she’s from the Mallorys, and she’ll like to see you.” She replied, and I nodded. I gave a sarcastic laugh.“So Lachlan sent his sister to see me? That coward!” I laughed again while they remained quiet."Alright, then you can go, Esmeralda. Thank you.” I said, and she nodded and left.“Have your seat, young lady.” I gestured to the seat in front of me, and she took it quietly.“So, what is it that Mr. Mallory desperately wanted that he had to send you, his younger sister?” I asked, wea

Chapter 56

Lachlan We were having another family dinner tonight, and I couldn’t still tell Amelia that my mom had insisted she showed up today. I didn’t understand why it was so tough for me to do that. Some months ago, she didn’t have much of a choice. She just had to tag along. Now, I hated doing anything that would make her go against her will. It wasn’t going to be comfortable for the baby. Shut up Lachlan. It wouldn’t be comfortable for her. And so it won’t be comfortable for you. I sighed as I let this truth sink. I think I’m falling in love with Amelia. No, not that I think. I know. Maybe I’ve denied this truth for so long, but I think Cassandra was right, for the very first time. I was falling in love with her. And no matter how I tried, it just got deeper. And I couldn’t help myself. Despite how cold she was towards me, I could still feel her softness. Her blue-doe eyes and red straight hair that complimented her white skin kept drawing me closer to her in ways that I was scared of.

Chapter 57

Amelia I was still contemplating what to put in as I searched my wardrobe. The only place I had gone to, aside from the hospital for the antenatals, was nowhere. Lachlan made sure of that. And sincerely, I too wasn’t in the mood for any outing. I was bored at home, quite alright. But I preferred the peace and quietness I enjoyed here. And having the maid come to share her gossip with me was fun too—that I wouldn’t deny.I had to get Lillian to come sort out my clothes because I was confused on what to wear. I needed to still look good for this dinner even while pregnant. I knew my insatiable mother-in-law would still find something to trash talk me about. That I was already used to and was much ready for. I knew that was the reason why she wanted to see me. But Lachlan was right. If I didn’t come now, she would fix the dinner here, and we’d still have to meet. Meeting her then would even be much worse. And as long as I remained Lachlan’s wife, I needed to face my fears and deal with

Chapter 59

Amelia There was a heavy silence hanging in the room. Only the sound of our cutlery could be heard. And maybe my racing heartbeat. After Lachlan’s outburst, I was the only one who gathered the effort to leave the frozen state Lachlan’s outburst threw us into, picked up the cutlery, and began munching the food, hoping to calm the atmosphere. Of course everyone followed after, but the atmosphere only got tenser. I could literally feel the heat of their gazes on us as we ate. But what in the heavens could be going on? Was this part of the pretence script? Well, Lachlan could have informed me earlier so I wouldn’t have acted so shocked. But as his usual manner was, we would agree on something, and later on he leaves me like Alice in Wonderland. And I’m left to wonder what to do.“You know what? We’re leaving!” Lachlan declared again, interrupting my fantasy. “Hmmm?” I said, looking up at him, and realised the whole family did. But his eyes were on me.“Let’s go, babe.” He said to me, t

Chapter 60

Lachlan “I meant every single word. And you may not believe me, but Amelia, I’m in love with you. Trust me, I have tried shaking off. Like desperately trying to shake it off. But I just keep sinking deeper and deeper in the ocean of love I have for you. And sincerely, it hurts more because I know you have lost every feeling you have for me. And honestly, I’m not even going to ask you to love me again because, in all honesty, I don’t deserve an atom of your love. And even if you divorce me in the end, I will take up my cross because it was all my doing. But I swear with every living cell in me that I’m head over heels in love with you, Amelia. I only hope you'll see it someday and maybe love me just the way I have loved you. And together we’ll do a lifetime nurturing our own kids and loving each other.” I didn’t know how all these words came, but I knew I meant every single one of them. And sincerely, it just felt so good to finally pour it all out. It felt relieving to finally admi

Chapter 61

Amelia He sounded really convincing. He was Lachlan Mallory after all. Always knew how to buy people into doing what he wanted with his words. I knew that too well to know I couldn’t be bought. So despite how true he sounded or how real his confessions were, all I could see behind was a façade. So I kept asking him different questions, finding a means to catch him red-handed. But as his usual manner was, he cleverly dodged them all, fabricating more lies. Whether they were true this time, I didn’t care. They were lies to me.He sighed after a few seconds of silence. He had looked into my eyes, and I had returned the gaze with equal intensity.“Amelia, sincerely even I don’t know. Cassie was right. This whole obsession began when you left. So maybe I had fallen in love with you before then but didn’t realise it. But it doesn’t matter, Amelia. I love you, and I know it’s painful that I’m just realising it. But I’m sorry. And I hope I can oneday make you believe that I, Lachlan Mallory
