Amelia walked into Audrey’s office with a bright smile on her face. It was just two days until her wedding day and she was so excited that she couldn’t keep her joy from her face. All preparations have been put together and all of her close friends have been invited. The wedding was going to be a ceremony of their close friends and relatives and whoever wishes to celebrate with her and Ryan but she wanted to send out special invites to the people that were dear to her. She’d successfully sent it to everyone, including James but he’d mentioned being very busy with planning his late father’s funeral and as the first son of his family, he wouldn’t be able to attend the wedding. He was also currently in London for that purpose and has apologized dearly to Amelia but she didn’t mind. At first, when she’d decided to send him an invite to her wedding, she didn’t know how he’d take it, considering they had been together before Ryan stumbled back into her life and forcefully claimed her. But
Amelia stared at her reflection in the mirror with a bright cheerful smile on her face. It was her wedding day and she was so excited that she could barely contain it. She was dressed in the wedding dress she’d choose and her make-up and hair were styled to perfection. Her veil had also been pinned to her hair but was kept at the back, from covering her face until it was time to leave. Her bridesmaids surrounded her, fawning over her and they couldn’t stop rambling about how beautiful and perfect she looked. Cookie was there, and so was Gretchen, Lara, Cora and Emmalin. Audrey was also there, but not as a bridesmaid but Amelia wanted her closeby and she was happy to be in the midst of her close friends and family.Cookie, who had been fixing her hair and makeup walked up to her and gently wrapped an arm around her waist, leaning in to kiss her cheeks softly.“I’m happy for you, sweetie. You’ll be Mrs. Davidson soon,” Cookie beamed at her and Amelia grinned from ear to ear, her eyes te
The collective gasps of the guests filled the large room, and Amelia’s heart broke to pieces as she stared at Selena who had a triumphant smile on her face, with her palms protectively resting on her rounded belly. Amelia glanced at Ryan, who was seething, his furious gaze directed at Selena.Selena glanced around, hearing the murmurs that had risen at her words. A smile was on her face because she was happy with how things were going and she saw that most of the people were giving Ryan and Amelia dirty glances. Of course, they’d believe her because she was his ex-wife and to make things better, none of them knew why they’d fallen apart except for his parents and his housekeeper, and also his secretary, Sylvia, who was also a very close family friend. But then, they wouldn’t be able to prove her wrong because she had the perfect evidence to keep them silent.“That’s a lie, my son would never have anything to do with this tramp!” Ryan’s mother, Li na said, rising to her feet and pointi
Amelia ran out of the church premises into the quiet street with tears in her eyes. Thankfully, the church was built in a quiet area, not near the busy streets of New York where everyone could see her. They’d also chosen this church to prevent unnecessary traffic and the presence of paparazzi that might want to film the ceremony and now, she couldn’t be more happier that they’d actually chosen it. Tears ran down her eyes as she continued running with her child in her arms. She wasn’t sure where she was headed but all she wanted was to get far away from the church and all of the people in it. But then, she heard the sound of a car heading towards her, and she increased her speed.With the weight of the child in her arms and the large skirt of her dress, it was hard to run fast but she tried her best, wishing that whoever it was wasn’t coming for her because she wasn’t sure she could look into any of their faces. But eventually, the car slowed down beside her.“Amelia, please let me hel
The entire Davidson’s family and Selena were all gathered at Clifford’s home, awaiting the arrival of the family doctor, Dr. Hansel. Ryan kept pacing, wishing he could go in search of Amelia while his parents dealt with Selena but he couldn’t do that. It was his mess and he had to clean it up. He wanted to know the truth before facing Amelia again. His heart was beating wildly, from fear of Selena’s words being true. He didn’t know what he’d do if she was truly pregnant for him but he wished it was one of her deceitful plans as usual to get him in her webs, and God help her if it was a lie because he’d truly strangle her to death this time around.“What’s taking him so long?” Li na asked, staring at her husband with worry but Clifford reached for her and circled his arms around her waist.“He’s on his way. We’ll know the truth soon. Breath,” he murmured, seeing how strung out she looked. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps followed before a younger man ap
It’s been two days since Amelia ran away with her daughter and Ryan was yet to find her. He’d contacted the police to give a missing person report and they were currently in search of her but so far, nothing had been found. Ryan was gradually losing his mind. He’d never expected that Selena could go to this extent to ruin his happiness. He wanted to get back at her for hurting him and for breaking his home, but all he wanted was to find Amelia and tell her the truth.He’d ordered everyone to stay away from him, including his family and even Gretchen, his housekeeper. He didn’t need anyone around and he definitely didn’t want them giving him sympathetic looks. It would break him more to see them feel sorry for him. He wanted to handle it all alone but he wouldn’t stop until he’d found her.Ryan sat at the breakfast bar, staring at his phone screen and also staring at Amelia’s phone that was beside his. The moment he’d run out of his parents home two days ago, his first instincts had be
It’s been almost a week since Amelia’s disappearance and Ryan was gradually losing his mind. His parents and close relatives were greatly baffled. All attempts to find her had been in vain. They’d even threatened Selena, hoping she knew of her whereabouts but after a few days, they realized she didn’t know where Amelia had gone. While everyone was troubled by the sudden disappearance of Amelia and her child, Benjamin, and Adeline were secretly happy that things were going in their favor.Benjamin and Lara especially, had seen Selena’s disruption of the wedding as the perfect plan to have gotten Amelia into their waiting claws but as no one had expected the sudden turn of events, they’d missed that chance and they were greatly annoyed by it. Adeline, on the other hand, saw Amelia’s absence as the perfect time to finally draw the family’s attention to the reality that Ryan had failed them twice.He was expected to be married at thirty in order for him to get the family’s inheritance and
The next evening, all the elders of the Davidson’s family, alongside Adeline, Benjamin and Ryan, were gathered at Clifford’s home for the urgent meeting that Adeline had called for. Some of them wondered what it was about but the ones that she’d previously met, knew what she wanted to discuss. Scowls and expressions of irritation masked their faces as they all sat, waiting for her to speak. Ryan on the other hand, was barely listening to whatever was being said. His mind wasn’t there.Amelia was yet to be found and he had no interest in whatever anyone had to discuss but his parents had made it compulsory for him to attend, informing him that Adeline wanted to see the eldest members of the family, including him and her son.“We’re all here, Adeline. Why don’t you state the reason for this meeting?” Clifford asked as soon as everyone was seated in the large living room.Adeline glanced around and cleared her throat. Before arriving at Clifford’s home, she’d planned with Benjamin on how
