LOGINChapter 121*Third Person's POV*It was three PM in New York City; Henry could be seen sitting alone in his office with a glass of alcohol in his hand, and right in front of him on his desk were some documents which contained the financial status of his company. For the past few months, his company hasn't been doing well, and he has been very aware of it. Like every other time, he had expected things to get better with time, but unfortunately this time around, things haven't been getting any better. Some of the shareholders, tired of complaining about the financial situation of the company, have simply withdrawn their shares and taken them to other companies, and this action alone has contributed to the further decline of the company that was already doing badly for the past few months.As Henry was still sipping the alcohol while staring at the documents he had just finished going through, he couldn't help but also glance at his phone as he was expecting a phone call. When Henry was d
Chapter 120 *Amelia*"Amelia, can we please just stop talking about what happened in the past?" Edward asked me. "Since you already know what I want, just tell me if you are going to help me or not," Edward said to me."Of course I'm going to help you, Edward, but just as I told your daughter, I have my conditions," I said to Edward."And what are these conditions of yours?" Edward asked me."Well first, if I'm going to help you, you will have to give me your mansion – sorry, I mean, my mother's mansion," I said to him."Wait, what?" Edward asked me with a surprised look written all over his face.________________________________________"Amelia, what did you just say?" Edward asked me as I was silently staring at him after telling him my first condition if he needed my help."You heard me right, Edward; if you want me to help you, you first of all have to give me back my mother's mansion, or should I repeat it again?" I asked Edward not to minding how he has turned red in anger after
*Amelia*Coming back from the meeting I had with Adrian, which I didn't regret even a little bit, I couldn't hold back my joy due to what I had gained from the meeting.At this very moment, I couldn't help but feel grateful to Adrian for not giving up when I told him that I couldn't come and meet him to hear whatever he wanted to tell me, because if he had given up, I wouldn't have one of the most expensive piece of jewellery in New York City sitting around my neck.Back at the auction event, I didn't even know that the necklace looked this beautiful; the only reason why I had wanted to acquire it was because I noticed that Adrian only showed interest in it when he noticed that Henry wanted it. But seeing how beautiful the necklace looked after receiving it from Adrian, not only did I feel grateful to Adrian for giving it to me, but I also began regretting not doing everything in my power to acquire it during the auction event. Getting back to my company, after pulling over in the par
*Amelia*"Well, as long as both of you agree that you aren't each other's soulmate, it's already good," I said to Adrian. "By the way, what is it you wanted to tell me? Please hurry up; I have spent more than the time that I planned to spend when I get here," I said to Adrian. "Actually, I didn't have anything to tell you; I just wanted us to spend some time together like this," Adrian said to me."Wait, what?" I asked him with my tone laced in disbelief._______________________________________"I'm just kidding," Adrian said to me while smiling, and with that, I shot him an angry glare."Adrian, can't you be serious even for once?" I asked him with a displeased tone."I'm always serious, Amelia, but just as they say, too much of anything is bad, and that includes too much seriousness," Adrian said to me. "Also, I meant it when I said that the reason why I called you here is to spend some time with you. I had many things going through my mind and I needed someone to talk to, and you
*Amelia*"Let's meet; there's something I want to discuss with you in person," Adrian said to me."Well, I'm sorry, Mr Darlington, but I can't meet with you right now," I said to Adrian in reply."Then I'm on my way to your company," Adrian said to me."Adrian, you better not," I said to him, only to realise that he had already ended the call from his side."Damn you, Adrian," I screamed with a frustrated tone even without realising it._______________________________________After the call with Adrian, who threatened to show up at my company if I didn't meet with him, I had no other choice but to go and see him in order to know what on earth he wanted to talk to me about. If there was one thing that I didn't want, it was him coming to my company and creating a scene just because I didn't agree to go and see him.Getting to the address he had sent me, it didn't take long before I saw where his car was parked, so without wasting anytime, I drove my car towards his and pulled over right
*Amelia* After my short discussion with Melissa, she took her leave, while I, on the other hand, prepared and left for work.Getting to the company, I was busy working on some files that I had left behind the previous day because of the auction event when a knock resounded on my door."Come in," I said while raising my voice a little bit so that the person who was knocking could hear my voice, and with that, the door of my office bursted open and Tessa walked in."Good morning, Ma'am," Tessa greeted me as she walked into my office."Yes, good morning, Tess. How are you doing?" I asked her as she pulled out the chair opposite my desk and sat down."I'm doing good, ma'am. What about you?" Tessa asked me after sitting down."I'm doing good too," I said to her in reply."Thanks so much for yesterday," she said to me, and with that I furrowed my brows at her."Thanks for what?" I asked her while wondering what she was thanking me about."For your genius plan that made it possible for me t
*Adrian*"Mr Darlington, I have never been shot before, and..." "Perfect," I interrupted him immediately. "If you do not tell me what that appointment with my wife was about, I swear to God, I will make you experience how it feels to be shot for the first time," I said to him, as I was determined
*Adrian* "Adrian, slow down for Christ's sake. Are you trying to get us killed or what?" Melissa, who was sitting next to me in the car, screamed in horror while tightly holding the safety handle of the car above her head due to the level of speed with which I was driving the car."Melissa, "I tol
*Amelia* "Well, the good news is that today is your lucky day," he said to me, and I furrowed my brows, still not understanding what he was saying."Lucky day. Did I win the lottery or something like that or something like that?" I asked him in return."Well, if you used to play the lottery, then
*Adrian*Getting to the location where Amelia was, I was surprised to see that it was a restaurant. Knowing that Amelia rarely leaves the house, talk less of going to a restaurant, I didn't waste any time before getting down from my car and making my way into the restaurant, and on getting inside,
