LOGINAmelia’s POVI didn’t feel relieved when I walked out of Lawson’s house. I thought I would be okay after confronting him and standing in front of him without shaking or begging him without that fear I always used to have.I thought that if I did all of this. It would fix something inside of me but it didn't, instead it made me question myself more.The car door shut behind me, and the driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror.“Ma’am are we going back to Mr Jayden's Penthouse?”I didn't even give him a response. I was still thinking because I knew that the way I was feeling was giving me a signal that something like a truth was trying to force its way out to the public.“Drive,” I finally said with a low voice but he didn't drive yet, then he spoke up again.“To where, ma’am?”I stared ahead, my mind replaying every word Lawson had said and his every look. Every moment he didn’t answer me.Especially that moment when I asked him why nothing had happened to my mother?“Take me t
Jayden's POV.I didn’t trust silence anymore. Not after everything that has happened with Amelia, I was the only one that knew how I felt when I found her on the floor like that.She was lifeless in a way that still haunted me every time I closed my eyes. That was such a terrific sight to see. Even now, I was sitting in the passenger seat while my driver moved through the traffic, I kept glancing at her like she might disappear if I looked away for too long.Amelia leaned her back against the seat, her head resting lightly on it with her eyes half closed. She looked tired. Not just the kind of tired sleep could fix, it was something deeper. Something that came from everything she had been carrying alone.“Are you okay?” I asked. She opened her eyes slowly, looking at me.“You have asked me that question three times already.”“And I will keep asking you,” I said. She smiled at me but I could see the weakness she felt through her.“I am okay. My personal doctor, Mr Jayden.”I didn't bel
Jayden’s POVWe were close to the hospital, a few minutes and we would reach. When the ambulance came, they were moving so slowly that I feared so much.I kept on looking at Amelia. She was bleeding so much and I knew that if I had given them the opportunity to drive as they wanted, Amelia wouldn't make it alive.At that point in time. The only person that mattered to me was her, so I snatched the keys from the driver's hand and decided to drive us to the hospital.I disobeyed all the traffic rules because of her life that was slipping out of her hands. I was so scared because of the way her body was lifeless in my hands.There was so much blood. My hands were still shaking, I decided to press my finger against her wrist like I could force life back into her just by refusing to let go of her.Alex had to tell me to calm down so he could continue driving because of how anxious I was. I ended up listening to what he had to say so he was the one driving now.“Stay with me, my love” I kep
Jayden POV The media was still trying to get through to me. All they wanted was gossip, but they weren't going to get it from me because I was thinking about something else.The journalists were talking and flashing their cameras behind Alex and I. They were all calling our names like we are some kind of headline instead of a man that has just been dragged through hell with his life in prison.Alex stayed close to me all this while, placing his hand on my shoulder to make sure I was okay.“I hope you're good?’ he asked.I didn’t answer him because I wasn't, he understood right away how I was feeling so he didn't pressure me to say anything to him.We got into the car in silence. I closed the door, shutting everyone's voices outside but the voice in my head didn't go away just like that.I heard Amelia's voice in my head. I could still see her face on that screen while she was confessing everything she had done.I turned my head, staring out the window as the car moved. It had been so
Lawson's POV.“How dare she walk a hundred steps ahead of me behind my back!” I screamed so loudly, I grabbed a glass and threw it across the wall.The glass shattered against the wall. I just stood there, so much anger was inside of me and my hands were already bleeding because of the impact of the glass I had held so tightly.“You have to calm down, Lawson. Getting angry won't solve anything. What has been done has been done.” Rachael said.“I obviously cannot come down. Is that what you think I should do right now? Amelia has gone behind my back and tarnished my name. She even gave them evidence against me. Do you know what that can do to my reputation that I have built so hard?” I asked, turning to face her.Everything was irritating me. Most especially Rachel, I was the man here and I was supposed to be the one acting all coded. But Rachel was the one doing that, while I was the one shouting all over the place.“You are overreacting. One thing you did not do well was to think tha
Amelia's POV.After marrying Lawson. My whole life had become a mess that I did not believe that I could feel at peace one day.Today could literally be the happiest day of my life. It could actually be the day I had smiled so much and beat my chest to say I am so proud of the woman I have become.I never knew I could be this bold to stand up against Lawson in front of the whole world.Lawson thought that he was one step ahead of me but I was literally the one who overshadowed him.My confession video was all over the internet. Everyone was talking about it, and now, I was in the police station waiting for when I would finally see Jayden again.“He has finally been freed of all the allegations being charged against him.”That was all Alex had said over the phone. Just some few words to me, but they meant everything to me.Jayden was finally out of jail. He was now a free man and his reputation has been cleared off.I stood outside the station, twisting my fingers with my hands. I was
Amelia's POV.I slammed the door of my office harder than I meant to and the sound echoed very loudly in my ears. My back hit my chair first as I sat down, then my head followed, resting against it as I tried to breathe. Then the thought flashed through my head again. The loud moan, the way he s
Chapter 10.Fear had a taste. If anyone would have ever told me that then I wouldn't have believed until I experienced it on my own.That was the first thing I noticed as the elevator doors slid open onto the executive floor.I paused for a second, gripping the strap of my bag tighter. That was ins
Jayden's POV.Work had always been the only place I could breathe. The contracts made sense to me, the deadlines, pressures and negotiations.All of it was clean compared to people, compared to emotions and compared to the chaos waiting at home. So I buried myself in it.My desk was covered in file
Amelia's POV.Lawson laughed hard. It wasn't even because I had cracked a joke that was funny but because he just wanted to laugh at me. “You have finally lost your mind. You think you can make demands in my house?” he said, staring hard at me like I was nothing but a joke.“I’m not asking you. I
