The drive to Jake's mansion felt interminable. Amelia sat tensely in the passenger seat, her gaze locked on the rapidly moving landscape outside. The view outside became a blur of muted colors, yet an unsettling feeling of being drawn into an unavoidable trap remained inside her. Next to her, Jake hummed to himself, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel in a rhythmic pattern.

“You’re going to love it,” Jake declared, breaking the silence with a tone that bordered on arrogance.

Amelia chose not to respond, her grip on the seat tightening as her nails pressed into the leather. Whether it was her worries about the future or the burdens of the past that weighed on her, the atmosphere in the vehicle felt stifling.

Upon reaching the mansion, she was taken aback—though she would never admit it—by the stunning view before her. The estate was expansive and a striking example of contemporary architecture, with large glass windows reflecting the gentle moonlight. The driveway, bordered

    The sun had not yet chased away the fog when Amelia pulled up to the Rodriguez house. The sky was ash-gray, pushed against the velvet of night, and the house loomed in the mist like something old — something that did recall too much and forgive too little.She stepped out of the car and took a breath of chill air, her coat huddling closer around her shoulders.It was her father's birthday.A celebration.A performance.But behind the silver platters and tailored suits, tension would be present in the air. The kind that does not need words. The kind that lingers on every polite smile.Amelia moved forward, then forward again.Each step over the familiar cobblestones was heavier than the last.Today, you’re not just here as his daughter. You’re here as a woman with a secret. A truth curled so deep in your heart it throbs whenever someone gets too close. A truth they can’t know yet. Not now. Not while everything still feels so fragile.She paused at the grand oak doors, straightened her

    Ronald was not surprised by the emergency meeting called by Amelia.He simply shook his head after finding out that she commanded everyone present in the conference room.He already had knowledge of what it was all about but the woman did not know that he already knew that she was going to do that. He could not understand how he was able to keep himself composed after what the woman did.The two shareholders were his loyalists. They were part of the early shareholders and thus they informed him of Amelia's plot. He could not help but wonder what the woman was up to. It seemed like she was talking to the wrong person and he got a tip-off that she was going to execute something in the company.He was thankful to those two because of their loyalty but something crossed his mind. He spoke with them about the negotiation Amelia was having with them. And, he couldn't understand that instead of getting angry, he wanted to follow her flow and didn't want to go against her plans. He did not wa

    Two weeks have already passed since what happened between her and Ronald on the top floor of the building and it never occurred again."Amelia, here's the report," Marson handed her the folder.She could feel her heart beating so fast as she looked at the folder. She knew that the moment she opened the folder, she would be able to comprehend what really happened with Jake, the man who did not want anything but to help her get justice and the birth right of her son.She felt she was close to uncovering the truth and to give justice to his death. She would make sure that his death would not be futile. She took a deep breath as she slowly opened the envelope. She did not receive it but there was like a drum beating in her heart when she opened the envelope.Her eyelids came together when she saw the details that were recorded in the report.She could not help but feel angry that suddenly cropped up in her chest upon reading all that was recorded there.All this while, she and Marson were

    Yes. Do I have to explain?" Amelia replied in a smug tone. "Well, I suppose, you don't really trust me at all," she replied and then shrugged her shoulders.She actually made him feel that she was not pleased with the type of response that he was giving towards her."No, I'm sorry. I just couldn't quite visualize that you are actually living with your assistant," the man said to her bluntly. She knew there was a way in which there was disappointment crossing his face."What is wrong with it?" She cried out and her eyebrows were furrowed together. She did know what she was saying but she wanted him to feel like he was attempting to imply something that she didn't like. How could she be thinking like this about her? Was she really the kind of woman who would just get into bed with any man that she met?If only Ronald had known that no other individual had screwed her like what he did except him. She creaked her head with dismay after listening to what he uttered.Ronald went and lifted

    The two of them left the Wellington's building and headed towards Ronald's car. He opened up the car for her and then proceeded to get onto the driver's seat straight away. Already after some time, they were already leaving the Wellington's Holding compound."Can you provide me with your address?" Charles suddenly inquired as soon as they were on the highway.Her brows furrowed and then suddenly recalled."You know where my Jake's Estate is, don't you?" She said to her. She couldn't remember when her heart began beating for him.A forced marriage which she never thought would be amongst the worst experiences in her entire life because of the people who were attempting to interfere in their relationship especially her step-mother who was obviously not liking her."Yes, is that where you are residing? I thought you had already shifted out from there," he mentioned in extreme amazement.She shook her head. "No, I didn't. I just went to Mexico after Jake died," she couldn't hide the sadne

    Amelia was surprised at the odd gesture of her ex-husband. She had no idea what Ronald was thinking because this never happened when she and him were actually married. He was always intoxicated every time he was ushering her in.Those moments remained very fresh in her mind. The moments that she endured silently and cried silently while Ronald was by her side. Those moments she tried to endure all the agony because she had dreams that she could still save their marriage. She never experienced this type of softness from him during those moments. She was quietly staring at him until they finally got back onto the rooftop and started to put on the clothes they had on before.There was silence that was between them until they completed dressing in all their attire. She was seated on the couch staring at nothing. She could not gather the appropriate words to use when Ronald was busy re-heating water in the electric kettle.Something just occurred to her and ex-husband. What has happened to
