LOGIN*Amelia* Coming outside, Henry immediately took me to the parking lot where his car was, and on getting there, he opened the door of the passenger seat for me to get inside, and once I got in, he closed the door before entering through the driver's side, and without wasting any time, he ignited the car and zoomed off.Leaving the venue of the event, the first thing that I noticed was the road Henry was following was completely different from the one that led to my mansion. I had wanted to ask him about it, but I couldn't bring myself to utter a single word due to how shocked I was with everything that had happened, especially discovering that Adrian had something to do with it.After driving for some minutes, Henry finally pulled over in front of a place on which it was written 'Gonzalez Central Park'. Even though I hadn't been to the place before, just from the name, I could already tell that it was Central Park, but it wasn't a public one; rather, it was a private one that belonged
*Amelia* "If there was one thing I have never been good at, it was speaking in public. I might seem very confident while having a one-to-one discussion, but the very moment I'm standing in front of a crowd, that confidence immediately vanishes. So in order not to humiliate myself whenever I have a speech in public, I used to revise the speech over and over again till I memorised it; by so doing, when I got to the stage, I would simply read out what I had memorised without making eye contact with anyone.When Henry finished speaking and invited me over to the stage, I had wanted to refuse because I didn't prepare ahead, and also, my brain had already gone blank, and I couldn't even think of anything that I would say. But on seeing all those around clapping for me, including Melissa, who instead of clapping was glaring daggers at Adrian, who was clapping for me, I decided that this very evening, I was going to overcome this fear of speaking in public.Getting to the stage, Henry extend
Third Person's POV "Come on, Mr Darlington, I know you hate me so much, but can't you just pretend to be my friend even for a little while?" Henry asked Adrian while grinning from ear to ear."Pretending is your thing, Mr Gonzalez, but unfortunately it's not mine, so unlike you, I hate pretending," Adrian said to Henry. "By the way, what's your plan with Amelia? Why are you suddenly pretending to be her friend?" Adrian asked Henry with an inquisitive tone.______________________________________________"Pretending? And who the hell said that I'm pretending to be nice to her?" Henry asked Adrian before taking a sip of his drink."If you aren't pretending to be nice to her, then what exactly are you doing?" Adrian asked him with furrowed brows. "Or are you trying to make me believe that you are just being nice to her for no reason?" Adrian asked Henry, who was still maintaining a smiling facial expression despite Adrian's accusatory questions."And are you also trying to insinuate that
*Third Person's POV* It was a twenty-minute drive from Amelia's house to the place where the ceremony was going to take place. On getting there, Amelia immediately regretted coming along with Henry because from the parking lot to the entrance of the hall, there were tonnes of reporters, and given her status and that of Henry, Amelia didn't need a fortune teller to know that the following day, the news that was going to trend throughout the whole of New York City was the news of her being brought to the ceremony by Henry, who she just signed a business deal with.Turning and looking at Henry, Amelia was surprised to see that he wasn't even disturbed by the presence of the reporters, and before she could even say anything, he had already got down and opened the door of the passenger seat for her so that she could get down."Wow, who is that? Is that Mrs Jones?" the reporters asked as they began approaching Amelia with their cameras as she was getting down from the car."Hey, back off a
*Amelia*"Hello Mrs Jones, how are you doing?" Henry's voice sounded through the phone."I'm doing good, Mr Gonzalez. What about you?" I asked him in return while still putting on my shoes."I'm doing good too. Tell me, where are you right now?" He asked me, and with that I furrowed my brows while wondering why he was asking me that."I'm still at home; why do you ask?" I asked him with an inquisitive tone."Well, I'm in the front of your mansion right now," he said to me."What?" I asked him with a surprised tone while wondering what on earth he of all people was doing in front of my house._________________________________________"You heard me right, Mrs Jones, I'm in the front of your mansion," Henry said to me once again."Really? But why are you in the front of the mansion?" I asked him while still trying to understand what would have made him, of all people, come to my house without informing me."Come on, Amelia, instead of asking me all these questions like a stranger, why do
*Amelia* It was six o'clock in the evening in New York City; after getting back home and getting some rest, I was finally getting ready for the ceremony, which was going to take place around eight PM.As I was getting ready, I couldn't help but wish that James had agreed to come back; at least if he was around, I wouldn't be going to the ceremony alone, while many of those who were invited would be coming along with their partner. Thinking about this, I sighed heavily before continuing with my makeup. Whether I came along with a partner or not, that's not what is the most important thing; the most important thing is that I'm happy. After all, not those coming along with a partner are happy; some are going to pretend as if they are happy during the ceremony, but after the ceremony, they will go back to their living hell which they call a relationship.I was still thinking about all this while doing my makeup when my phone suddenly started ringing. Walking to my bed where the phone wa
*Adrian* Hearing Amelia say that she was finally giving me the freedom that I had always wanted, I felt my ego and confidence shattering right in front of me. Even the anger that I was feeling after Melissa recalled to me everything Amelia had done to us vanished immediately.I was the one who was
*Adrian* Throughout the whole board meeting, I couldn't bring myself to concentrate even for a little bit; the only thing I could think about was Amelia's sudden change, how she changed from the woman who was so obsessed with me and was even begging me to spend one more month with her to the woman
*Adrian*After dropping Amelia off on the roadside, I drove to the address sent to me by Melissa, and on getting there, I saw her standing alone beside her car while waiting for me."Babe, thank goodness you are finally here," Melissa said to me as she walked towards me and wrapped her hands around
*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
