ALEX'S POVAccomplishment.Revenge.The words echoed in my mind as I walked away, my footsteps firm against the pavement. Behind me, Amelia moved toward her car, or maybe she just stood there, watching me go.I didn’t turn to check.The night air brushed against my skin, cool and sharp, as if trying to strip away the weight pressing on my chest. Guilt still lingered, stubborn and unshaken."This isn’t how you treat someone you claim to love, Alex."The thought came persistent and uncounted, slicing through the satisfaction I should have felt.But what choice did I have?Amelia wasn’t making this easy. Every attempt I made to fix things, to bring her back, had met a dead end. She resisted, fought me at every turn, as if she couldn't see the truth buried beneath my actions. As if we didn't have anything together in the past. I wanted her to understand. To believe that everything I did was for the best. It wasn't my fault. But she wouldn’t.She refused to see past the walls she had bu

AMELIA'S POVThe abrupt end of the call restored silence to the room. The silence was thick enough to be held and sliced with a knife.Daisy's eyes rested on mine. Searching. Waiting for answers that I couldn't provide. Or I could but I didn't want to. My imagination slipped to the other end of the phone. Nelson.Did he hear anything? “Mommy, why don't you want me to speak with daddy?” Her eyes were dark and cold with innocence and that caused my heart to ache. Her bare arms rubbed against mine and her head rested peacefully on my breasts.“It's not like that, darling. Your daddy is a busy man. He doesn't have much time to himself. That's why it's difficult for him to speak with him on the phone.”She nodded her head against my chest in a convincingly manner. I was glad I was able to control the situation. At least for a while before she asked again.“But I heard what he said,”she suddenly pressed, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. Her head rested just a few inches benea

AMELIA'S POV The door pushed open before I could even ask whoever it was to come in. I straightened my body as much as I could. A silent painful moan escaped my lips as I struggled to balance my breath and my fluctuating chest. My eyeballs rolled from one end to the other when I saw Mitchelle come in.“Yeah?...” I said as my secretary came in, looking calm as always, exuding a smile that contrasted with my raging heart. I nearly forced a smile to hide my emotions.“I'm sorry ma,” she said noticing my unstable condition, her fingers knitted into one another, “wanted to remind you of the meeting scheduled with the board members.”Yeah. The meeting.I wasn't surprised that I had totally forgotten about the meeting which was supposed to hold a few hours away, a lot had been on my mind lately. Ever since Nelson officially agreed and signed the partnership proposal, I hadn't informed any of my board members.Although I was the CEO and I could carry out certain actions without their invol

ISABELLA'S POVI slid my hand into my pocket, fumbling for my phone. I couldn't believe I could get so mad the way I did some moments ago. I wished I saw through the trick in Carmella's words and didn't say so much to her.“I'm sorry, Carmmy," I said, reaching for her hand and giving her a friendly pat. She was my kid sister after all, she deserved baby treatment.“It's okay. We owe this to mom, right? We should give it our best."I nodded, putting a call to Grey."Come right away,” I snapped."I think we should talk to Sandro now,” I turned to Carmella after I had ended the call with Grey. She tilted her head slightly, gazing upwards as if she was considering what I said.“That's a good one. I'm just skeptical about Sandro for some odd reasons," she answered. "We should be careful with every action we take, no gambling should be done. Sandro could be bought over easily,” she concluded.“You have a point." The room was filled with silence afterwards. The weight of what she said res

AMELIA'S POV“Have you forgotten that I'm your personal assistant? You should inform me about things like that?" Alex declared, raising his voice.Annoying was an understatement in qualifying how he looked right now. What did he think of himself? Not even the fact that staff and workers were probably hearing him made him drop his voice a bit.I kept quiet, my eyes fixed on the document on my desk, but my mind was not focused on it. My mind was distorted, disorganized, weaving back to the past, considering how I could have done it better.I shouldn't have included Alex in the affairs of my life? I should have avoided him at all costs. But it was difficult, I didn't have any choice at that time.“Look, Amelia. You would have to fire that lady, I do not consent to you employing her. She looks suspicious, don't you see?" He said again, the tempo of his voice increasing. His right hand in his pocket and his left hand demonstrated as he spoke.I was trying so hard, giving it my best, fighti
