CHAPTER TWENTY TWO - I WANT MY SON OR WE GO TO COURT

AMELIA'S POV

At the door, stood Jeremy and beside him was his wife. What I felt at the moment wasn't guilt, but embarrassment. I'd just been caught, in an open-mouthed kiss with Lucian Moreno in the confines of his office.

Great.

Just great.

I slowly stepped away from Lucian and tucked my hair behind my ears. My eyes went from Lucian to Jeremy and the woman beside him. I wondered what they were doing here.

Lucian smiled sinisterly, one that held me in a daze. He stalked forward and extended his hand to Jeremy. I watched the men shake hands with an amused expression on my face.

Jeremy had no fucking idea that he was shaking hands with his doom. The man who would one day bring him to his knees. I smiled at the thought of that. This could be so interesting.

"I got the text from your mother, Jeremy. It says her beloved daughter-in-law would like to work in my company... How bright of her to give me orders." Lucian said, he lo

    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE - CAUGHT IN A KISS AT THE OFFICE!Amelia's POV“Why does he need Lena?” I masked my confusion with a forced smile as I took in Drake's appearance. Dressed for work, he looked ready to leave, and I wondered why he needed to see her. “It’s fine. If she’s not here, don’t worry about it. Take care, okay?” He leaned in to plant a kiss on my cheek, said his goodbyes, and walked away. I lingered, watching him leave, then wiped the spot where he had kissed me. Gross.“Lena, you can come out now. He’s gone!” I called out.Lena appeared with a weak smile, her gaze flickering away from mine. I gathered up the clothes I had discarded on my bed. “Get me something to eat. I’ll change and meet you downstairs,” I instructed, waving her off.“Yes, ma’am,” she replied, nodding.Once she left, I slipped into my outfit and decided to glam up a bit for my first day. After putting on my heels, I snapped a few pictures, though I wasn’t usually one for taking selfies. But for some reason,

  • Dear Ex-Husband; Get On Your Knees And Beg   CHAPTER TWENTY

    CHAPTER TWENTY - LENAAmelia's POV I frowned as I recalled the events of last night. Drake had tried to kiss me. And I didn't let him, so he kissed my cheek instead. I was scared he'd catch on to my fake honesty since I didn't let him kiss me, but he didn't. He had just apologised and left my room. I rummaged through my closet as I thought about what I'd wear to work today. Scanning the options, a blue dress and a turquoise palazzo pants paired with a black off-the-shoulder top. "I think the pants and top would suit you perfectly, ma'am," Lena said from the door.I grinned. "I know right? It feels like I've been wearing too many dresses. I'll go with your opinion, Lena. And good morning to you," Lena's cheeks flushed. "I'm... sorry ma'am. Good morning,""How was your night?"She nodded. "I slept soundly. So... do you know that I'm working in a new office today?" Her eyes widened slightly. "Really?" "Yes, Lena. Although it's not what I want to do but... I have to do it so I'll ha

    CHAPTER NINETEEN - FORGIVE ME, AMELIAAmelia's POV"Aren't you going to say anything, Drake? How can you just stand by and let her take your kids away? If that's really what you want, then fine." Drake looked at me intently. "Where are the kids?" he asked.I thought he might never ask. "With my mum," I lied smoothly.He nodded, his gaze drifting to the woman beside him. "Can you... Please leave us alone for a moment?""Drake...""Please, Sierra."I watched their exchange with a mix of curiosity and amusement. Since when did Drake beg for anything? Who was this woman that seemed to have him wrapped around her finger? Reluctantly, she stepped out."She’s my fiancée," Drake said, a hint of pride in his voice.I blinked, my mouth forming an O of surprise. "You do realise we’re still married, right?" "Ah... yes. About that. I'll make arrangements for the divorce papers, to annul the marriage. Did you honestly think you'd just waltz back into my life and we’d return to the loving couple w

    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN - CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY CHILDRENAmelia's POV"Do you like him enough to be our Daddy? Can he be mine and Caden's Daddy? Please, Mommy. Don't say no."I halted, mid-step, one of my hands gripping the rail. My lips parted and I ransacked my brain for a reply. Camilla stood beside me, her big eyes, round and hopeful. My baby girl didn't understand that what she had just asked for... wasn't a new doll or a bedtime story that I could easily give."Camilla..." I crouched slowly so we were face-to-face. "Sweetheart, I... Lucian is a good man, okay? But he's not your daddy. You already have a daddy."She frowned. "But he shouted at you. And you cried. I don't like it when you cry.""Who told you that?" "Nobody." She folded her arms, not meeting my eyes.Wow. I never disclosed that I was hit by Drake to my kids. What the hell was even happening these days? I sighed. "Baby. I know he hit me and that's not okay. But some things between grown-ups are complicated."She

    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - PLEASE MOMMY, DON'T SAY NO.Amelia's POVLucian likes me? "No," I said, shaking my head and forcing a nasal laugh. "Lucian is the Don. The Don doesn't like anyone. I've been led to believe that he owns people, manipulated them, maybe even protects them if it suits him... but love? Your brother doesn't have a heart."Seraphina raised a brow, a soft smile still painted across her face. "Believe what you want, but I've known my brother all my life. And I've never seen him act this way around anyone."I frowned, munching on some vegetables. "What way?""He's careful with you. He watches what he says. He even goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable. Lucian doesn't do that. Not even for me."I didn't know how to respond to that. I pushed my plate away and stood. "Even if he does like me, it doesn't matter. I'm not interested.""Just don't break his heart. You might not like the kind of man he becomes if you do.""He has a heart to break?" I snorted and we la
