To say Ethan was shocked by Annastasia's request would be an understatement, he was appalled. They hardly knew each other yet she was asking him to take her to his house. Seriously, who does that? He didn't want to sound rude since he was trying to make amends so he told her to wait in his assistant’s office. Grabbing his phone he called Lucas. "Hey man, what's up?" Lucas' voice came through the phone. "Hey bro.. I have an issue. Can you arrange a suite for me at your hotel?" Ethan asked. "What? Don't tell me you plan to cheat on your wife. I met her and she's feisty, I'll be killed too if she finds out." "What are you saying?" Ethan groaned, pinching the space between his eyebrows. "I'm serious, man… I won't help you cheat. Just continue being the loyal husband you've always been." "Would you listen to me first? I need to arrange accommodation for someone who's stranded," Ethan remarked. "Um….why not use your usual suite?" "Are you crazy? That's my space… only my

"It was Amelia." "She was the one who drugged me." The words echoed in Ethan's mind as he tossed and turned in bed, finding it hard to sleep. He wasn't expecting this kind of plot twist. What Anna said didn't make sense. Of course he could tell the two women had bad blood between them but he just couldn't see Amelia as someone who would stoop so low. He didn't believe it. Amelia was an angel at heart, even though she tried to make herself look tough and cold. There was no way in hell she would drug someone just to get a man. She didn't need those petty moves. With her beauty, she could have a thousand men groveling at her feet. Perhaps he was so enchanted by her that he had become blind. But no matter how much he tried to be reasonable, Amelia didn't seem like someone who would go to such lengths. Ethan tried to picture Amelia with a vicious expression talking to the bartender to spike Anna's drink. He frowned and shook his head, "nope… not my angel." He tossed and turn

Amelia was trembling..she didn't know if it was from the cold or from Ethan's confession. Her heart pounded heavily and she touched her chest, hoping to calm her nerves. She couldn't deny it anymore. Ethan had crawled his way into her heart… she was not sure to what extent but all she knew was that butterflies came alive in her stomach whenever he was close. There was silence after he said those words. He was waiting for something. His captivating eyes stared into her eyes as if he was trying to peer into her soul. Amelia gulped, seemingly feeling flustered. She knew what he wanted to hear. The magic words. But was she ready to make that step? Love was a powerful thing that shouldn't be taken lightly. Five minutes passed and the fire in Ethan's eyes seemed to die out. Amelia could see the look of disappointment in his eyes. 'Damn… now I've hurt him,' she thought in her head. Ethan quickly masked his emotions and stood up from his seat. "Don't feel burdened by what I s

Amelia jumped happily with a doughnut in her hand, a mischievous smile painted on her face as she giggled to herself, knowing very well she was on her way to annoy her husband. Served him right for deciding to work from home and stopping her from filming because of the threat she had received the other day.. She took in a deep breath when she reached Ethan's study and waited till she finished eating her doughnut. Without knocking, she opened the door ever so slightly, creating a creaking sound then peeked through the crack. Ethan appeared to be too immersed in his work. The space between his eyebrows was creased and his icy-gray eyes were focused on his laptop. Amelia opened the door wider and entered the study. She then tiptoed towards Ethan's desk. "Ethan… I wanted to ask something," Amelia said the moment she got close enough. He looked up and shook his head but she ignored him and continued, "would you still love me if you were allergic to me?" She looked down at her

The moment Christabel was shot, Ethan's bodyguards took down the shooter. Ethan's heart raced…. That was a close call. He saw that Amelia appeared to be shocked so he pulled her into his arms to calm her down.. "It's okay… they are dead. They won't hurt you.. don't be scared. I'm here." He whispered as he tightened his arms around her.. His heart ached when he noticed how she was trembling and gripping his shirt tightly. He felt guilty for bringing her with him. The scent of blood hung in the air, making Ethan wrinkle his nose. Kissing the top of Amelia's head, he suggested, "let's get out of here." Amelia nodded and followed him towards the car. He could see she was still trembling which further ignited his guilt. Ethan had wanted to apologize for being angry earlier but he kept quiet. That was not the time. "Watch out!" He heard Amelia shriek just as she hugged him from behind. Confused, he turned to see what was going on when a gunshot sounded and he stumbled backwards
