The revelation was a surprise, to say the least.However, she didn't have a choice but to accept the fact. Her parents could not compromise her life. They were adamant about her safety, and if that meant having Tyler as her bodyguard, then so be it."How old are you?" Amelia asked out of nowhere when they were in the middle of discussing their new arrangement. The question took Tyler by surprise, but he quickly composed himself."I'm 28," he replied, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He wasn't sure why Amelia was asking about his age.“A young man with many achievements already," Mr. Laurier continued, his voice filled with admiration.

The walls were adorned with exquisite artwork, each piece telling a story of its own.Despite the grandeur, there was an eerie silence that enveloped the whole dining area, as if the house itself was holding its breath. The usual chatter and laughter that filled the dining area was absent, replaced by a tension that was almost palpable.Amelia walked in, her footsteps echoing in the silence. She could almost hear the house screaming in the quiet, a silent plea for normalcy in these uncertain times.Mr. Rodolfo Laurier and Mrs.Roxanne Laurier are already on the table, their expressions are serious as they wait for Amelia.

Amelia was known for her grace and poise. She carried herself with an elegance that was hard to miss and a vision of elegance. She had a captivating beauty, and dark eyes sparkling with intelligence and a hint of mischief and with a long, ebony hair fell in soft waves around her shoulders, framing her delicate face perfectly.She was fiercely independent and incredibly strong-willed, and had a fire that refused to be extinguished, a spirit that shone brighter in the face of adversity.“Where's Amelia, Roxanne?” Amelia's father asked his wife. Mrs. Roxannne Laurier looked up from the book she was reading, her eyes meeting her husband's. “She's in her room, dear.”She replied, her voice soft. “She said she needed some time alone to think.”Amelia's father nodded, concern etched on his face. “I hope she's alright,” he said, his voice filled with worry. “This whole situation... it's a lot for her to handle.”Roxannne placed her book down, her gaze steady on her husband. “She's stronger th
