Ricardo was genuinely surprised by Amelia’s response.

For a brief moment, he simply stood there, staring at her as if trying to confirm that he had heard correctly. After everything that had happened between them, after the coldness she had shown since their unexpected reunion, he had not expected her to agree so easily.

He had been prepared for rejection.

Prepared for indifference.

Prepared for her to walk away again without giving him even a moment.

But she had said yes.

And that alone unsett

  • THE LOVE I GAVE HIM    Chapter 38. A Shift in Control

    Amelia’s eyes widened in surprise the moment she saw who had taken the glass from her hand.The man standing beside her was tall, composed, and carried an unmistakable authority that seemed to command the entire space without effort. His presence alone shifted the atmosphere at the table, and even before he spoke, it was clear that everything had just changed.It was Gabriel.Her boss.The CEO of the company.For a brief second, Amelia simply stared at him, caught off guard by his sudden appearance. She had known he would arrive eventually, but not like this—not at the exact moment she needed an escape from the uncomfortable situation she had been trying so hard to manage.A small smile slowly formed on her lips.Gabriel didn’t say a word at first. Instead, he lifted the glass of wine—the same one Mr. Moses had been persistently pushing toward Amelia—and drank from it in one smooth motion without stopping.Amelia’s smile deepened slightly as she watched.Across the table, Mr. Moses’s

  • THE LOVE I GAVE HIM    Chapter 37. Truth Beneath the Lie

    Ricardo remained seated long after Amelia had walked away.His eyes stayed fixed on the direction she had disappeared, his expression frozen in shock. The words she had left behind echoed endlessly in his mind, refusing to fade no matter how hard he tried to suppress them.I never loved you.Those words replayed over and over again, each time cutting deeper than before.For years, he had convinced himself that what they shared, no matter how complicated or undefined, had meant something. Even if he had been too blind to understand it then, he had believed—at the very least—that her feelings had been real.But now…Now she had denied everything.And the worst part was not just what she said—but how she said it.So calm.So certain.As if there had never been anything between them at all.Ricardo slowly leaned back in his chair, his fingers tightening slightly against the edge of the table. The untouched food sat in front of him, now cold and forgotten.He had imagined their reunion so

  • THE LOVE I GAVE HIM    Chapter 36. Words That Cut Deeper Than Silence

    Amelia picked up her handbag slowly, her movements calm and deliberate, as if everything had already been decided long before this moment. She looked at Ricardo across the table, her expression composed, her emotions carefully hidden beneath a layer of quiet control.“Thank you for the meal,” she said politely.Her tone was courteous, almost distant, as though she were speaking to a business associate rather than someone who had once shared a complicated past with her.“But I have other things to attend to,” she continued. “So I won’t be staying.”She pushed her chair back gently and began to stand.The sound of the chair moving against the polished floor broke the fragile silence that had settled between them.“Amelia.”Ricardo finally spoke.His voice was low, but there was a sharp edge to it, something restrained yet intense.Amelia paused.She didn’t sit back down, but she didn’t leave either.Slowly, she turned her head to look at him.Ricardo was already watching her.There was

    Ricardo was genuinely surprised by Amelia’s response.For a brief moment, he simply stood there, staring at her as if trying to confirm that he had heard correctly. After everything that had happened between them, after the coldness she had shown since their unexpected reunion, he had not expected her to agree so easily.He had been prepared for rejection.Prepared for indifference.Prepared for her to walk away again without giving him even a moment.But she had said yes.And that alone unsettled him more than if she had refused.Still, he did not let the opportunity slip away.Quickly regaining himself, Ricardo stepped forward and opened the passenger door of his car for her. The gesture was natural, almost instinctive, something he had done countless times in the past without thinking.Amelia paused briefly.Her eyes moved from the open door to Ricardo’s face.For a second, something unreadable flickered in her gaze.Then, without a word, she stepped forward and entered the car.Ri

  • THE LOVE I GAVE HIM    Chapter 34. An Unexpected Meeting

    Amelia looked at the phone screen with a warm smile on her face. The moment the faces of the two children appeared, the tension she had been carrying since the meeting earlier slowly faded away. Their bright expressions had a way of calming her no matter how stressful her day had been.“How are my little angels doing?” Amelia asked softly.The two children immediately leaned closer to the camera as if they were afraid she might disappear if they moved too far away.“We’re fine, Mommy!” the boy said excitedly.Amelia chuckled gently at his enthusiasm. “Are you enjoying your holiday in Paris?”The boy nodded quickly, but his expression soon changed to one of mild disappointment.“It would have been more interesting if you were here with us,” he replied honestly.Amelia smiled at his words. Even though she had expected that answer, hearing it still warmed her heart.Before she could respond, the girl beside him spoke up.“He’s right, Mommy,” Layla said, nodding in agreement with her brot

  • THE LOVE I GAVE HIM    Chapter 33. Echoes of the past

    Amelia had already taken a step toward the door when Ricardo suddenly reached forward and grabbed her wrist. The action was so quick that even he did not fully realize what he had done until his hand had already closed around hers.For a moment, time seemed to freeze.Amelia stopped walking immediately. Her body stiffened slightly, and she slowly turned back to face him. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, though it was faint and quickly controlled. Her expression returned to calm composure almost instantly, but the brief reaction had already revealed that his action had caught her off guard.Ricardo himself looked slightly startled by what he had done. He had not planned it. The movement had been instinctive, driven by the sudden fear that if he allowed her to walk away again, he might lose her for another six years—or perhaps forever.His fingers tightened slightly around her wrist before he forced himself to release it.For a brief moment neither of them spoke.Amelia looked
