Chapter 90: Fight back

“Alexa…” Victoria’s voice trembled, the words coming out in a rush. “She’s on a live interview, and she’s destroying you, Amethyst. She’s saying you’re a homewrecker. She’s saying you ruined her marriage with Gideon. Please… you need to see this for yourself.”I felt a wave of nausea sweep over me. Alexa. That treacherous woman.I quickly turned on the television, switching to the news channel. The screen flickered for a moment before settling on a live broadcast. And there she was.Alexa. Sitting on a sleek, modern couch in a news studio, tears running down her cheeks as she spoke into the camera, looking every bit the picture of a heartbroken woman.“I can’t even begin to explain how much pain I’m in right now,” Alexa’s voice wavered, her words dripping with feigned sincerity."Amethyst Amadeus has done nothing but tear apart my marriage with my husband, Gideon Grayson. She’s been a constant presence in our lives, manipulating situations to get close to him. And now—now she’s ruined

Chapter 91: His Realization

GIDEON’S POVI was lying in that damn hospital bed, the antiseptic air thick around me, the faint beeping of the heart monitor the only thing keeping me tethered to reality. The pain in my body didn’t hurt nearly as much as the one gnawing at my chest, a pain that had nothing to do with my injuries and everything to do with the wreckage of my life.I was still trying to wrap my head around it all, trying to make sense of what had happened when the door to my room opened. I didn’t have to look up to know who it was. I could feel her presence the moment she stepped inside.Alexa.She was as put-together as always—expensive blazer, sharp heels clicking on the sterile floor, her expression unreadable at first. I couldn’t help but notice the smug little smile playing at the corners of her mouth, the same smile that had always made me question everything about our marriage.“Gideon,” she said sweetly, but I knew

Chapter 92: Nicolai's Demand

Amethyst POVDays passed, and the media buzzed with my interview. The truth had come out, and Alexa’s lies had been exposed to the world. But the fallout was far from over.I could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on me. Every conversation, every glance from people around me felt heavy, charged with whispers, judgment, and the endless questions that no one seemed to be able to stop asking. But none of that mattered anymore. The truth had been laid bare, and I wasn’t about to let anyone twist it again.The week after the interview, I spent most of my time buried in work, my team keeping me focused on the tasks at hand as my PR team handled the barrage of questions from the press. The public was on my side for the most part, but Alexa was doing everything she could to claw back her reputation. Still, there was no going back now.Then there was Nicolai.He’d been a constant presence, a steady force at my side, and despite everything going on, he never once wavered in his su

Chapter 93: Her Kiss

The tension in the room was suffocating. His eyes fixed on mine with an intensity that made my pulse race. He had just asked me a question that I had no idea how to answer—one that felt like it had the weight of the world on it.I opened my mouth to respond, but the words were stuck. My mind was a whirlwind of confusion and fear. I didn’t know what I was doing, and I didn’t know how to make him understand. His gaze was unwavering, a mixture of frustration and something else I couldn’t quite place. His patience had worn thin, and it was clear he was waiting for me to make up my mind.But I couldn’t.I couldn’t bear to let him down, to disappoint him after everything he had done for me. Nicolai had stood by me through the chaos of the past few days, supporting me when no one else did, and now he was asking me to take another step forward—toward something I wasn’t sure I was ready for.Engagement? The word echoed in my mind. It was too much, too soon. Yet, in the depths of my heart, ther

Chapter 94: Unforgiven

Gideon’s shoulders stiffened at my words, and for a moment, he didn’t respond. The tension between us was palpable, thick enough that I could almost taste it in the air. His eyes remained locked on mine, searching, probing, as if he were trying to figure out what I was truly thinking.“I’m here, Amethyst, because I need to apologize,” he said, his voice quieter now, but filled with an edge of desperation. “For everything. For Alexa. For what happened. For the hurt I caused you.” He paused, the words clearly weighing on him. “I know it won’t fix anything, but I need you to understand that I never meant for any of this to happen. I never meant for you to be dragged into the mess that was my life.”I couldn’t suppress the small laugh that escaped me. It was bitter, mocking, and entirely reflexive. “You think this apology changes anything?” I asked, leaning back in my chair, crossing my arms. “You think this makes it better, Gideon? That your words will erase the damage done?”His express

Chapter 95: It's him

Gideon’s presence at my window startled me, and for a moment, I just stared at him, trying to process what was happening. My heart raced, and I could feel my pulse in my throat.“What the hell are you doing here?” I snapped, keeping the window locked, but I didn’t feel the usual sharpness in my voice this time. There was just an odd tension in the air. His presence felt both too familiar and strangely out of place.He glanced down at the phone in his hand—my phone, the one I’d left on the restaurant table when I’d stormed out. His fingers tightened around it as he spoke, voice low but clear.“I’m here to return this,” he said. “You left it behind, and I figured you’d want it back. And... I also saw your car from the road. It looks like it’s having trouble.”I tried to hide the flush of embarrassment that crept up my neck. Of course, he’d seen me stranded here. The universe really had a cruel sense of humor. “I didn’t ask for your help,” I muttered, my tone more defensive than I meant.

Chapter 96: Follow me

When I arrived, I slammed the car door shut and pulled the collar of my jacket up, trying to shield myself from the lingering chill of the rain. The downpour had finally let up, but the air was still thick with the remnants of the storm. My boots splashed in the puddles as I walked toward the front gate of my house, cursing under my breath. I hadn’t planned on this kind of day—not with the car, not with Gideon. But here I was, standing in front of my house, trying to process the bizarre chain of events that had led me to this point.He stood by the car, his posture rigid, almost as if he had been waiting there for a while. His dark, wet hair stuck to his forehead, and his shirt clung to his skin, still soaked from the rain. He looked out of place, standing in front of my house like he had a right to be there. My stomach twisted. I hadn’t even heard him pull up.He spotted me as soon as I stopped, and his eyes softened with a hint of concern, the way he always looked when he was trying

Chapter 97: Longing

He blinked, as if trying to process my words, before nodding and taking a hesitant step toward me. His eyes flickered briefly to the stairs before returning to my face, a mix of uncertainty and curiosity in his gaze. I didn’t give him a second thought as I turned on my heel, striding toward the staircase with purpose.I couldn’t afford to think too much about what was happening. This wasn’t a moment for reflection or weakness. I had my rules, my boundaries, and I wasn’t about to let anyone—especially Gideon—break them now.As I reached the top of the stairs, I glanced back over my shoulder, only to find him standing a few steps behind, looking somewhat out of place. It almost amused me how hesitant he seemed, as though the world I’d built around myself was foreign to him now.I pushed open the door to my bedroom without a word, stepping inside and letting out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. I needed to get away from his presence, to create some distance—physically and men

Chapter 98: Denied

“I don’t miss him,” I snapped, my words harsher than I intended. “You’re wrong, Marta. You have no idea what you're talking about.”She didn’t flinch or back away. Instead, she walked closer, her gaze softening with an almost motherly warmth. “I may not know everything, Madam,” she said quietly, “but I know you. And I know when your heart is in pain, even if you try to hide it.”I felt my throat tighten, and for a fleeting second, I almost let the tears that had been threatening to spill over break free. But I swallowed hard, pushing them down, refusing to show any more weakness. I wouldn’t let myself fall into that trap.“I’m fine,” I repeated, though it sounded less convincing this time. “I’m just fine, Marta.”She nodded slowly, but I could see the concern still lingering in her eyes. She didn’t push me further, though I knew she wanted to. Instead, she gave me a small, understanding smile, one that spoke volumes without saying a word.“I’ll take care of everything, Madam,” she sai

Chapter 99: Celebration

I couldn’t help but smile as Victoria approached, practically glowing with excitement. "I’ve got amazing news!" she practically burst out, her voice practically vibrating with energy.I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What’s going on?""Our sales have skyrocketed! We're up by 50%! Can you believe it?" Victoria’s eyes sparkled as she spoke, clearly elated. "I had to tell you immediately—this is huge, Amethyst!"I felt a wave of pride rush through me. It had been a tough few months, but this—this was a victory. "That’s incredible! I honestly didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, but this is huge!""I know, right?" She was practically bouncing on her heels. "We need to celebrate!" Her grin grew even wider. "Lunch? Maybe that new place you mentioned? What do you think?"The idea of a celebration sounded perfect—especially after everything that had happened. "Actually," I said, an idea forming in my mind, "Nicolai invited me to lunch earlier. He said he wanted to take me to this fancy rest
