LOGIN“I asked you here because I need you to understand that you’ve never really been alone. People have been watching you for years, and you need to be careful.”Amelia stared at the thick stack of documents on the desk. As her fingers brushed over the densely printed pages, a chill crept through her.She finally understood why Jasper had always warned her not to trust people too easily. He must have known about all of this already.“How do I know any of this is real? How do I know you didn’t fabricate it?”Amelia looked up at Christopher.She was scared; scared of being deceived again, and scared that these so-called truths were nothing more than another carefully constructed lie.Christopher saw the suspicion in her eyes, but he didn’t get angry. He simply took a flash drive from the drawer and plugged it into the computer.“It contains surveillance footage and interviews with the people involved. You can go through everything yourself. And if you still don’t believe me, ask Jaspe
Whatever his reasons, Christopher had always believed he was making the right choice.He loved Amelia, but he didn’t need to be with her. As long as she was safe, that was enough.His own feelings would always come second to Amelia and Evelyn’s safety.What he wanted didn’t matter. All that mattered was knowing the people he loved could live safely and peacefully.With that, Christopher turned and left, hoping Amelia would seriously consider his proposal.-The next morning.Amelia couldn’t stop thinking about what Christopher had told her the night before.She stayed in bed until her alarm went off. She had just walked into the living room when the doorbell rang.When she opened the door, Christopher was standing outside with two bags of breakfast. The logo belonged to the shop she had loved back in high school.“It’s still warm.” He handed her the bags. “Eat first, then I’ll drive you to FutureDrive. There are some things I need to show you.”Amelia stared at the bags for
Amelia pressed Christopher, her unease growing by the second.“Because the Bloom family realized I was investigating them and started keeping a closer eye on me.”Christopher’s expression darkened. “They may think you and I are still involved. Threatening you could be their way of forcing me to back off. The open window at your house, the person following you in the parking garage... The Bloom family may have been behind all of it.”Amelia’s heart started racing. She searched Christopher’s face for any sign that he was lying, but she couldn’t think of any reason he would make something like this up.“Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?”Christopher looked at her. “After you asked me for a divorce, you refused to have a real conversation with me.”Silence fell over the living room again. Amelia stared out into the night, her thoughts in knots.Christopher’s explanation answered many of her questions, but it also made her realize that she and Evelyn had already been dragged into
Amelia took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.She looked Christopher straight in the eye, exhaustion creeping into her voice. “If you know something, then tell me. Stop speaking in riddles and expecting me to figure it out. I don’t have the energy to keep guessing what you mean, and I’m done wasting my time.”After all these years, she had never truly understood Christopher.One minute, he was cold and distant. The next, he would suddenly show up acting concerned. Now every word he said seemed to carry some hidden meaning, only making her more suspicious.Christopher saw the exhaustion and distrust in her eyes, and his expression softened slightly. “If you’re willing to trust me, I’ll tell you.”The words stopped Amelia cold, leaving her with no response. She frowned, anger and frustration rising inside her.He was the one who had brought this up, yet now he was demanding her trust before he would explain. But if she walked away without learning the truth, the fear of
“Evie, go find Winona. I need to talk to Daddy for a minute. I’ll be upstairs soon,” Amelia said.Evelyn glanced between Christopher and Amelia, then nodded and ran inside.Once she was out of sight, Amelia turned to Christopher. Her voice was cold. “What do you want now?”Christopher opened the car door and got out. He walked toward her, his voice low. “A leopard doesn’t change its spots. You trust too easily. Don’t believe everything someone tells you.”Amelia frowned. “Who I spend time with and who I trust are none of your business. And why are you here? Have you been following me?”The memory of being followed sent another wave of unease through her. Had Christopher been secretly watching her this entire time?Christopher’s throat tightened. “I didn’t come here to argue.”Amelia closed her eyes for a moment. “When I wanted to talk things through, you refused. Now, there’s nothing left to discuss.”She looked him straight in the eye. “Even if we could sit down and have a cal
Jessica continued, “Friends are supposed to have each other’s backs. Stop trying to do everything on your own. Once the Bloom family is dealt with, if you still want Amelia back, Shane and I will help you figure it out.”Christopher said nothing.“I have somewhere to be. I’ll see you both later.”He gave them a nod, then turned and headed toward the parking lot.Jessica and Shane watched him disappear around the corner before exchanging a look.Jessica sighed. “He keeps everything bottled up.”Shane nodded. “For now, let’s make sure Ms. Sinclair and Evelyn are safe. The rest can wait until he figures out what he really wants.”-The partnership between Nova Nine and Lincoln’s company had reached a critical stage.In the conference room, Amelia stood in front of the projection screen, calmly walking everyone through the details of the technical proposal. Her presentation was clear, organized, and precise.Lincoln sat beside her, occasionally adding a point or two. They worked
Caleb arched a brow. "Why not? Especially if there are benefits to gain."He was a businessman, and profit was key.Luke surveyed Caleb from head to toe. "Nova Nine's capital injection this time will never bring them success. They don't even have a complete production chain. Investing in their p
Their accusations sounded exceptionally piercing to Amelia.She couldn't deny that Nicole's academic qualifications and abilities were outstanding.Nicole's competence aside, Amelia had to see for herself that Nicole genuinely wanted to work here instead of trying to make a statement out of pride.
Nicole immediately spoke up for Nathan."Chris, we should be fair in dealing with children. We should identify who's in the right and who's in the wrong.""Did you hit her?" Christopher asked, looking straight into Nathan's eyes.His intimidating gaze sent a chill down Nathan's spine. His dad lik
"Mom, who is it?"Nathan walked out with a toy aeroplane in hand. His face fell the moment he saw that it was Amelia.He had to apologize to Evelyn earlier today, and was humiliated in front of his whole school! Was she here to laugh at him?"Get out!" Nathan shoved Amelia hard. "We don't welco
