Amelia froze mid-step, her first instinct screaming no, but at the same time, she was curious about the kind of life Lila lived. She forced a smile, “ Sure! I’d love to see your place. ” Pulling out her phone discreetly as they walked, Amelia opened her chat with Stella and typed out a quick message: Heading to Lila’s place for a while. Just thought I should let you know. Sending you my location. She hit send, her finger hovering for a moment longer than necessary before slipping the phone back into her pocket. If Ryan was right and there was something off about Lila, then at least someone would know where she was. With that, she plastered on a bright smile and turned toward Lila “ Lead the way. ” Amelia thought Lila’s apartment would be a weird place, maybe a little eerie, but nothing prepared her for what she saw. The moment she stepped inside, she realized how wrong she was. The apartment was beautiful and cozy. Amelia’s lips parted in surprise “ Wow, ” she murmured, stepping in fu

    She whispered, “ I think he had Stella killed. ” Ryan didn’t interrupt, he just let her continue. Amelia continued, her voice trembling “ Because he didn’t want her to get in his way. He probably knew that she was trying to warn me… warn me to love you with a clear head and not give in too much. ” A tear slipped down her cheek, and she wiped it furiously with the back of her hand. “ I don’t know, to be honest. Her death is still a mystery to me. But I don’t believe it was just a hit-and-run thing. ” Ryan didn’t say anything immediately. After a while,he finally spoke, “ You’re keeping our baby, right? ” Amelia pulled back slightly, blinking at him. He looked scared and wanted reassurance that she wasn’t going to take away the little piece of hope growing inside her. She didn’t answer immediately. She tilted her head and pursed her lips, pretending to think hard. “ Well… ” she dragged the word out, biting back a smile as she placed her hand thoughtfully on her chin. “ I don’t know yet.

    She wanted to argue but she was too tired. Without another word, Amelia sank onto the bed and lay down. Ryan sat beside her, his hand reaching hesitantly to brush over her hair. “ How long have you been feeling sick? ” he asked carefully. Amelia shrugged, “ I don’t know. ” she answered truthfully. Ryan hesitated before he asked the question that was on his mind, “ You’re going to keep the baby, right? ” he asked hopefully. “ No, ” she said immediately, without hesitation. Ryan’s chest ached at her response and for the first time in years, he felt his composure shatter. “ Why? ” he asked hoarsely. He leaned closer, searching her face. She sighed, “ I can’t keep the baby when the father and I have issues. ” Her tone was flat, but her trembling hands betrayed her. Ryan’s heart shattered into pieces. He forced himself to speak, “ Mel… I’m sorry for what happened last night. ” he brushed his thumb against her temple. “ Even in my rage, I couldn’t stop wanting you. I'm sure I hurt you, did

    What had he done? He asked himself. Turning his head slightly, he stared at her. Amelia was curled on her side, her face still damp from tears she must’ve cried after he had fallen asleep. Her skin was marred with faint marks from his roughness. What kind of man treats the woman he loves like this? Slowly, he sat up, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed. He couldn’t bring himself to wake her. What would he even say? That he was sorry? That he had been drunk? So he did the only thing a coward would do, he went out of the room, closing the door softly behind him. When Amelia finally stirred, it was to a dull ache that welcomed her body. Her muscles were sore and a groan slipped past her lips as she shifted beneath the blanket. She blinked slowly, adjusting to the dim light through the curtains. Then the memories came rushing to her. She pushed herself upright, hoping to see Ryan still there but the room was empty. He had left without saying anything. Amelia swung her legs over the

    Her eyes darted around the room. Then she saw a tray of food on a small table near the window. Her stomach growled loudly, betraying her hunger. She pressed a hand against it, biting her lip. Slowly, she rose and made her way toward the table. She hesitated for a moment, staring at the food suspiciously. Did Ryan bring this? Or one of his men? She picked up the spoon, her hands trembling, and took a small bite of soup. Before she knew it, she was eating quickly. When she set the empty bowl down, she leaned back in the chair and stared at the locked door again. “ Why are you doing this to me, Ryan? ” she whispered to no one in particular. Her throat suddenly went dry and tears blurred her vision, “ I know I betrayed you. But do you really have to keep me here like some… some prisoner? ” Her fingers dug into her knees, “ I didn’t even want to give him those files. I only did it because I was scared he would hurt you if I didn’t. Doesn’t that matter at all? ” Her voice cracked, and she d

    “ No… ” she whispered, her legs finally moving. She bolted outside, her heart hammering in her chest. Her father’s car was crushed against the twisted wreckage of a truck. Smoke filled the air. And Bryan lay sprawled on the ground beside it, his body broken, blood pooling beneath him. His lifeless eyes stared at nothing. Amelia gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. “ Oh my God… ” Behind her, Ryan stepped out, his eyes flicking from Amelia’s trembling figure to the wreckage before them. The man who had destroyed everything lay lifeless at their feet. And Amelia was left between grief, relief, and guilt. When she turned, Ryan was standing only a few steps away. He didn’t move toward her, he just stood there and watched her. Amelia’s body shook violently as she pointed a trembling finger at him. Her voice cracked, “ You… you did this, didn’t you? You killed my father! ” Ryan pinned her with a deadly glare. He took a step forward, his tall frame shadowing her. “ I didn’t kill him. His gre

    Eventually, sleep came and the next morning, Ryan was gone before she woke up. When Amelia peeked into the living room, there was no trace of him. His keys were missing and his jacket too. Also, she saw that he hadn’t touched his breakfast which meant that he left in a haste. Amelia wandered aimlessly, and after like five hours, her phone buzzed suddenly, startling her. It was a message from her father. Bryan: Come to this address. Now. Bring the files with you. Her heart raced as she read the words again and again, then a location pin popped on her screen. Amelia bit her lip, gripping the phone until her knuckles turned white. She went to her room, crouched by her bed, and pulled out the files she had stolen. She hugged them to her chest, whispering, “ Please… don’t let anything go wrong. ” She dressed quickly in jeans, a plain blouse and sneakers. She didn’t bother with makeup, only twisting her hair into a ponytail. She needed to look normal. Sliding into her car, she gripped the s
