CHAPTER 31

ROSE'S POVThe silence in the room was as good as suffocating. I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers tracing around the fabric of my nightgown. The glow from the bedside lamp penetrated into my eyes, causing me to blink continuously. Nelson's voice rang in my mind, causing my heart to falter from the ache within. "You'll have to move to a separate room now, this is supposed to be my personal room." He had said the previous night. "But Nelson, I haven't..." I tried to protest but he cut me short. His voice thick with authority. "You'll do as you're told. This is my house."I used to think Nelson had trusted me from the first instance and that was why he had allowed me into his room, little did I know it was a test of my loyalty. I tossed my phone aside, the screen flashing with several calls and messages from Linda.I couldn't pick. I couldn't let her know how bad the situation was. I couldn't tell her that Nelson's attention was now being diverted to Amelia. I kicked my

CHAPTER 32

NELSON'S POVI sat in my office, a file clutched to my hand, but I wasn't seeing it. My mind was somewhere else, occupied with distant thoughts. Drifting back to Amelia. The captivating look on her face as I handed the dress to her earlier. I had expected nothing other than a polite "thank you" from her. But immediately her face lifted up to meet mine, her smile seemed to illuminate the entire room. I had seen Amelia a hundred times, but recently, every little thing about her seemed to attract me. To pull me in. The way her hair, a perfect blend of fashion and beauty passed behind her hair. The soft wave of excitement that rushed over me when she said my name. Fuck! What the hell is wrong with me?I shook my head, trying to waiver the thoughts aside."Focus, Nelson," I snapped. The problem was clear, I didn’t want to admit what was happening. I didn't want to admit that I was falling for Amelia. Or maybe I wasn't actually. Maybe it was an illusion. A sharp knock on the door sev

CHAPTER 33

ALEX'S POVI stared blankly at the door, my mind racing with every passing second each time someone comes into the expensive coffee hub. Anticipation settled on me, like a bird into its nest. I kept myself beyond the shadows, my heart beating in sync with the rhythm of the bustling city sounds. The old cup and chatter at the corner of the street was dimly lit, a perfect ground for a meeting like this, soaked in secrets. A part of me expected him not to show. Maybe he had changed over the years or grown more cautious the more. But then, a figure loomed at the entrance, lurking around in confusion. Then, after their period of confusion seemed to have expired, they settled for a seat at the farthest booth, exactly where I had instructed over the phone. Finally, he was here. As expected, he walked in with an air of confidence, that quiet arrogance that had always made me despise him. I watched him from my hiding place as he brought his phone, shortly my phone buzzed in my pocket. He

CHAPTER 34

NELSON'S POV"We need to see right away, there's a problem,"I said, my voice as firm as it could. "How soon?" Joan asked, his voice husky as always.I hesitated for a minute, inhaling. "Just a few minutes and I'll be at your place."I ended the call, turning to Bryan. "Drive to Joan's."The drive to his place averaged 20 minutes but it felt like eternity. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. Reminiscing on the twists and turns of life. Alex was back. Another problem to deal with. Only then did I understand the reason for the message I received recently, telling me about the arrival of some people.Slowly, like a chaff before the wind, my mind blew to that fateful day. At the pool, with him. Alex, my brother. A picture of him gasping for breath and as my strong arm pressed him down the waters. The lifeless look on his face after his final struggle which failed, sent guilt into my heart. 'You have done this, Nelson. You need to be strong.' I remembered snapping myself out of my g

CHAPTER 35

AMELIA'S POVA familiar wave of acknowledgement washed over me as I pressed forward, my heels clicking gently against the creak floor. The air around me thickened with a smell that felt familiar, something I was once used to. I looked around, beaming with amusement. The environment still looked the same even after months of not being here, except for a few new designs at the entrance of the house, nothing really changed. I clenched my fists, my heart raced as I made an attempt to knock on the door. It was a surprise visit and I wanted every bit of the suspense to count. "Who's there," her voice came from within. As usual, thin and friendly. "Someone who needs help," I responded, making my voice firm and unrecognizable as much as I could.I heard the sound of the key twisting in the lock and that made a rush of excitement wash over me. "Amelia!"Clara jumped on me immediately and her eyes landed on me. Her whole body rested on me and the weight of her body almost made me collapse

CHAPTER 36

AMELIA'S POVMy mind reeled with the implication of what I had just said. Why did I call him husband? I could have slapped myself hard on the face if Bryan wasn't there. But it was not possible right now. My thought drifted back to the money, my heart skipped a beat at just the mere remembrance of it. I had never received such a huge amount all my life. Then Nelson's voice rang in my mind again. "It's fine. Just make sure you get yourself something nice and beautiful, I'll check it out okay?"What was I going to buy? "Take me to the boutique," I said to Bryan. "A classic one."The ride felt extraordinarily longer. I couldn't wait to get into the store and pick up a classic cloth that befits my standard. Of course, I hadn't been a fan of sophisticated dresses, but that was the price of being a billionaire's wife and maybe I was ready to pay. And also enjoy the luxury. "Here you go," Bryan declared as the car came to a halt, and he opened the door. "Don't come with me, I'll be

CHAPTER 37

AMELIA'S POVThe bustling city came to life again. The sound of engines compiled into a melody, one that felt both thrilling and sore to my ears. We were done now and I was heading home. I remembered the satisfactory look on Clara's face after everything. "I'll see you very soon and I promise, I have a surprise for you," I said, giving her a side hug before sliding into the car. I could see her wave into the air through the side mirror, even as the car slowly drove away. And gradually, my mind gave way to another thought, Clara's picture fading from my mind. 'What does Alex want from me now? Why did he appear now of all time?'The look on his face when he called me earlier was demanding. "Isn't it good to be back? I thought you should be happy to see me," he had responded when I asked him what he was doing there. I could sense disappointment from the way he spoke. A wave of guilt washed over me. Maybe I was too harsh on him after all. I lowered my gaze, my voice rehearsed into a p

CHAPTER 38

AMELIA'S POVThe room was suffocatingly silent, but my heartbeat was deafening.Nelson’s eyes locked onto mine, dark and unreadable, but his gaze told me everything his lips refused to say. I could feel it in the way his breathing had shifted. In the way his hands had curled into tight fists at his sides, like he was at war with himself.But the battle was already lost.His eyes swiftly traveled downward, dragging over my bare skin, lingering at every exposed inch as if he were keeping it to memory. My back was still half-bare, the dress clinging stubbornly around my waist, refusing to move higher.I should have turned away. Should have pulled it up, covering myself, breaking this spell.But I didn’t. I couldn't. Why? I didn't know.Nelson’s lips parted slightly, as he swallowed. His Adam’s apple throbbing out as though he were struggling to breathe. His hesitation was thick in the air, combating with the silence that hung in the room. The soft ray of the light illuminated his face,

CHAPTER 39

AMELIA'S POVThe empty bed space was cold beside me.A testament to the strange emptiness that settled in my chest as I laid still, staring at the empty space where Nelson had been. The sheets were rumpled, roughened. A faint warmth lingered where his body had once been as my fingers brushed against the fabric. Has it all been real? Or was it just another dream?My mind filled with memories as they rushed back, vivid and precise. Everything unfolded slowly. Bit by bit. The way he had touched me last night in a desperate manner. The way our bodies had moved in sync, as we both seemed to surrender to a force greater than us both. I inhaled deeply, my heart beating rather too fast.Nelson had always been a mystery to me, a locked door I could never fully open. But last night felt different. It wasn’t just lust or just obligation. There was something else beneath it.Or was I just fooling myself?Was he simply playing on my emotions, knowing exactly how to make me vulnerable? No, that

CHAPTER 40

NELSON'S POV"Nelson... What are you doing here?" Amelia asked me, surprised and perplexed. She seemed to have stayed glued to her seat. The tension that hung in the air was unmistakably thick, simmering between our locked gaze. From the look on her face, I could sense how flabbergasted Amelia was. She sat rigidly in her chair, her eyes fixed on me. Her mouth dropped open, and her hands flew up from her laps, barely covering her face as it hung mid air. "That's not important now," I roared, moving towards her in a predatory style. "I should be asking you what you are doing here?" "I can explain," she answered, lips quivering as if threatening to fall apart. Her eyes were now red and calling for empathy. Her eyes widened and her eyebrows shot up, her face frozen in a mask of astonishment as she struggled to process how my presence came about.I bet she must have thought it was a set up. "You have just a few minutes to explain yourself, and your time starts now," I growled, my ange
