Rejected by my baby's daddy; Treasured by his step-brother The price of pride
Ashton's POV “Ooh," Miranda stood up at once, and placed her hand on her waist, shaking and breathing heavily. She was ready to lay curses on me and exchange words with me as usual. She is nothing like my ex who would try all sorts of tricks to make me feel at home, even when she knows I was wrong. Oh. How much I missed you, Amelia. "I guess you don't know the chaos you made. It has just destroyed your company," She began, giving me a hateful glare. Here she goes, I rolled my eyes. Aren't those words too much to use?"Shareholders are selling their percentages to loan companies, leaving you in the loan companies' custody. Investors are suddenly backing out. You had so many opportunities, but you missed them.” She breathes in, her eyes shining with a sly glint. My heart dropped, and a cold shiver ran down my spine when my senses crashed with the main reason why I was in a hurry to get a partnership with the West. My company was about to go bankrupt! And
Rejected by my baby's daddy; Treasured by his step-brother Echoes of regret
Ashton's POV I could feel pain washing through my veins each time my mind went back to the scene of Amelia yelling at me to get out of the West business building. All my life, I have worked hard to get to the top, living a selfish life that didn't care about other people's feelings. At this point, I have gotten myself destroyed by darkness. I could do anything as long as I get praised by those people in power, but never have I come across a shocking scene like the one I witnessed yesterday. Yes, among my plans was to get into that family that rejected my mother and me. But how? I will do that through my step-uncle, Gregory. It worked without much effort because he wanted more control over the West's fortunes, too. To him, I will be a useful tool. I knew he would need me, and that was why I approached him. It's all game, and no one knows the winner. Uncle Greg and I work together for now, and he has been giving me a lot of information about the West Ent

Amelia’s POV THE NEXT DAY: DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE A faint smile plastered on my face as I watched the massive hall filled with reputable business people. At the far end are many press reporters with their devices on their tables. I was beyond overwhelmed with pride as the announcer called my attention to the podium with various praises of my achievement within a year, and for being capable enough to be the first woman to control the 'West' industry. A resounding clap over balanced the place and I waved in return. After waiting for the thrilling noise to go down, I gave my speech which I guess impressed everyone, judging from their smiles and applause. The launching of a new bank application that has advanced functions was introduced by the expected employees, and there comes the next moment which had to be the press questioning. I walked over to the lectern with my chin raised in confidence even though my palms were sweaty. The world was watching, and my re

THREE YEARS LATER Amelia's POV It has been three years since I signed the deal to become the legal wife of Liam West, who is still battling with his sickness. Today is Monday, but tomorrow morning, I will be introduced to the media at the organized press conference as the new chief executive officer of 'West Banking and Finance Enterprise'. I am a bit afraid but nevertheless, I would rather eat a dead snake than show that weak side of me when the majority of the people in the industry would murder themselves to be in my position. The minority is my son, Jason, and Granny West. The two had stood as my wings to keep striving and escaping all traps set by the West relatives. For three years, I had secretly undergone a series of wide-range business training, and thankfully, it was less hard to fit in because I studied business administration when I was in college. A knowledge I was determined to use for Ashton, but he had rejected me terribly, and proved me worthless to

Amelia's POV THE NEXT DAY I blinked my eyes many times, trying to adjust my sight to the fancy surroundings. Everything screams money! "Oh goodness! It's been seven hours," A young lady exclaimed happily as she ran to my side. "My baby," I struggled to speak as the words came out in a cough. "Sorry,” She gently rubbed my arm. “Your baby is in good condition. You don't have to worry." She calmed me down with a warm smile. I felt washed with relief, but I looked away sadly when my last moment with Ashton replayed in my head. A tear slid from my eyes as I bit my lips, determined to get back on my feet, stronger and healthier, for the sake of my unborn child. My thoughts were distracted by the entrance of an elegantly dressed old woman. She was the same person who I had expected to be the cause of my death, but she had saved my life instead. I slightly bowed my head in this position nonetheless. "Welcome, Granny West" The young lady beside me moved back. "You ca
Rejected by my baby's daddy; Treasured by his step-brother The Night I Was Broken
Amelia's POV I smiled widely, rubbing my stomach with care as I walked into my matrimonial bedroom. It had been over three months and my pregnancy had not resulted in a miscarriage like the other ones. "I am done with the preparation, ma'am!" The maid Ashton hired to help me announced from the passage. "Ok. Did you hear the sound of my husband's car?!" I raised my voice back. "Yes, ma'am," I rushed out of the room with my hand wrapped around my stomach because I did not want Ashton to walk past the living room before I gave him the news he had always wanted to hear. My palms turned sweaty as the giant door creaked open. "Happy third anniversary!" I grinned when he walked in, but he kept his usual cold face. He stepped closer to me, eyes burning with anger. "I would like it if you could greet me with happy divorce day instead," he barked, staring at me with so much dislike. "What do you mean by that, my dearest?" I stuttered as my mood slowly changed to a bad one.
