Amelia's POV

"No side talks, please. Just go straight to the point, or I will leave now" I said sharply, using style to shake my head, brushing off the things going on in my head.

"Fine," Ashton's mother made a fake, gentle laugh. "You must have seen this morning's news about Golden Hall going bankrupt.” She stated, looking me in the eyes.

This woman has no shame, but what is she even saying?

  • Rejected by my baby's daddy; Treasured by his step-brother    The price of silence.

    Amelia's POV This kind of video is enough to make the internet go wild too. I will never be able to raise my head if it gets out. I can already imagine the type of silly headlines that will fill the newspapers everywhere the moment it spreads like a fire. “The strange wife of Liam West already dated Ashton Knight who owns the company she was supposed to partner with! No wonder she rejected him despite his ability, he was her ex.” “Oh, see the crazy reason why the new C.E.O of the West Enterprise refused to have anything to do with rising businessman, Ashton Knight West” Then, the snaps from this video that Mrs. Knight is holding will be scattered among the contents. “Could this be the downfall of the West conglomerate? The mistake they made was to make an outsider lead them.” Then the comments will be flooded with thousands of insults and shaming for me They wouldn't stop at that, they would keep digging and digging until they get to the bottom, then find o

    Amelia's POV "No side talks, please. Just go straight to the point, or I will leave now" I said sharply, using style to shake my head, brushing off the things going on in my head. "Fine," Ashton's mother made a fake, gentle laugh. "You must have seen this morning's news about Golden Hall going bankrupt.” She stated, looking me in the eyes. This woman has no shame, but what is she even saying? “People think the downfall of my son's company has to do with his issues at your public conference." Bankrupt? I had no idea."Excuse me?” My body was boiling at a high temperature. “Your family's problem is the last thing that would be my concern. Do you not think deeply? What type of claim is that? Something that happened yesterday has already caused a collapse for a company that has been operating for years.” My head kept banging with each word coming out of my mouth. “You can all rot in hell, I do not care.” I push my back against the couch. “I agreed to meet you, but

  • Rejected by my baby's daddy; Treasured by his step-brother    Facing the wicked heart

    Amelia's POV My body turned cold, causing me to stop walking again. I gently leaned my side against the wall, stretching my fingers out to see how pale it was. It's because of the anger that was trying hard to tear me apart. It feels as if I will not be able to breathe for the rest of my life. I bowed my head as anger flowed through me. I stared at the window, and now my son was crying quietly with his lips folded in his mouth to keep his voice low. He groaned loudly in fear when one of the boys raised his hand to hit him. My eyes widened, faster than the speed of light, I ran into the classroom and shouted "Don't you dare raise your hand on my son!" They almost fell on themselves as they all turned back to see who owned the voice. Murmurs filled the room, and one by one they jogged out of the room. It was at the same time that the teacher entered, her eyes on everyone as they rushed out, they were even pushing her out of the way. She kept looking aro

  • Rejected by my baby's daddy; Treasured by his step-brother    A mother's worst fear

    Amelia's POVThe lower part of my stomach began to burn slowly, and my forehead was dripping with sweat, despite the air conditioner being on. My heart raced faster than normal. Out of anger, I was very sure that my eyes had become light red. My head felt so heavy, but I shook it twice and blinked one more time to make sure that everything I just read was part of my bad dream, which needs to stop right now. So unlucky for me because it's real. I locked my eyes on my screen, “Ah, ah..” the sound slipped out of my tongue. I raised my head, looking at the space in my room with my lips still hung apart. I couldn't wrap my head around all these. I was still shocked at the audacity of her going this far. I will have to teach her a lesson together with Gregory, because there is no doubt that he was surely the one who gave her my personal phone number. These days, the people I hate deep in my soul seem to be flocking around me like a clinging mite. "Old day's sake?" I scoffed bitte

  • Rejected by my baby's daddy; Treasured by his step-brother    The past comes knocking

    Amelia's POVThere was a long silence after I said that I was tired of the issues arising all the time with the West family. “Even though the West never mistreated me, I have promised myself not to defend wealthy people in my life,” Mrs. Pat began, her voice stern. “Uh..” I raised my teary eyes to look at her face. “Yes, but I have to break that rule right now.” She takes a deep breath. “The West did not kick them out just like that, it was Ashton's mother's fault. That child she had for the late James West was out of..uhmm..” She gulped and stayed quiet while blinking fast like someone who regrets speaking. “You've started talking already, I will not tell anyone. Besides, I need to know some things, please,” I begged her. “I trust you.” She faked a smile at me, and I nodded in response. “Ashton's mother was best friends with Liam's mother, they literally grew up together in wealth until things went off for Ashton's mother's family, but her friend still stayed

  • Rejected by my baby's daddy; Treasured by his step-brother    The hidden truth

    Amelia's POV I groaned tiredly, rolling over the bed as my alarm continued to ring very loudly. The sound vibrated through the room until I stopped and stretched my hand to switch it off. “Ugh..” I grunted in pain as my head sparked multiple times again. My eyes were heavy and my head hurt because I wasn't able to sleep throughout the night. It's like this since my mind was just filled with sad thoughts. All because of Granny West, Ashton, Uncle Greg, other West relatives, the company, and now Liam West has joined the people I need to be worried about. Well, my heart has not been at peace in the case of Granny West, and that is why I will be visiting her this morning. I am so tired at this point. Nothing is coming from my end to solve the case of Ashton telling the world about his real identity. He will surely be working with Uncle Greg at this point, and it's tiring. Imagine two devils plotting against me. Maybe Liam getting better this time is a ble
