Drake’s eyes never left hers,he watched her struggle to stand but she failed again.Frustration welled up in Amelia,it has been two weeks since she delivered her baby prematurely and since,she could barely sit on her own.Amelia busted into uncontrollable tears and Drake rushed over to her side excusing the therapist who had been working tirelessly to help her recovery.Everyone else left the room except Drake.He hugged her tightly and she embraced him while still crying.“Can…I ever…be myself again.”“You will be fine,I am sorry I didn't protect you enough.”Drake has been wallowing in regret ever since it happened,he had underestimated the threat but eventually he had put his family in danger,to worsen it all, the head maid was found dead a few days ago, poisoned with no traces of who her killer was.Another dead end!He couldn't tell her,he couldn't bring himself to tell her, the doctor wasn't certain she would walk again.Drake felt a shadow behind them,he turned abruptly as fear gr

“Another freaking Harris!”The word rolled off Maya's tongue before she could stop herself,she hastily wrapped her hand over her mouth and Ryan laughed warmly.He didn't look upset at all as opposed to how offended she assumed he would be.She cleared her throat and straightened her back in a bid to sink into her usual confidence poise.Gabrielle pinched her slightly obviously embarrassed by the outturn of events.She had planned for a wild night to rid herself of her virginity without any strings attached,to cap it all,the kind bartender looked really sexy enough to fit in her fantasy that she failed to check out his resemblance to the Infinity Demon Widower.Her father's business associate.Now that she just had a wild night with someone she was likely to run into in future,she couldn't help but feel totally fucked!“Gabrielle,are you okay?” Ryan said as his face was laced with concern.Gabrielle's pale face got whiter,he even remembered her name,she hadn't planned it this way,it was m

Amelia smiled shyly as she exchanged knowing looks with Drake, strangely,they tend to do that a lot in recent days, precisely since she got hurt.He gave her a reassuring smile as he watched the therapist’s attempt at getting his wife back on her feet.Few hours ago,they had both stood in front of the camera to reveal Amelia in a wheelchair shutting off Jennifer’s weird drama. Thankfully, Leonard Lang had survived the surgery.The therapist raised Amelia's hand and she attempted to follow her stride but to her displeasure, Amelia was on the verge of falling when Drake sped impulsively to her side to hold her up,they exchanged another lingering gaze and this time around something shocking exploded in both of them,Their faces only inches apart when the therapist cleared his throat,Drake and Amelia felt ashamed and drew away.This time,Drake knew it was dangerous to stay another second in the room.“I will be back.” He said without sparing another glance at the duo and walked out of the w

Amelia rubbed her eyes for the uptenth time but the strategy proved abortive.She wasn't dreaming,it was Maya. Maya smiled warmly and hugged her lovingly.She drew back immediately not to puncture Amelia's stitches.Maya sat on the chair beside her bed while Gabrielle took turns hugging Amelia.Seeing their duo, excitement filled her heart.Their father had told her he sent Maya on a vacation with Gabrielle but seeing both of them back in one piece,she was overwhelmed with joy.“You don't look sick sister,the Harris aren't bad at babysitting.” Maya said teasingly.“Silly.” Amelia responded softly and they both laughed heartily but Gabrielle looked gloomy which Amelia didn't fail to notice.She exchanged questioning look with Maya who scoffed loudly,“Yeah, speaking of the Harris, Gabrielle had one popped her cherry two days ago.”“Maya!” Gabrielle screamed, eyeing her disdainfully.“Yeah,I am such a big mouth but I am glad Mother Teresa finally got a dick down there.”“Eww! So gross of yo

“Amelia,are you happy here?”Amelia's eyes met her father's,she could sense the vulnerability in his voice and her heart broke.In truth, Drake had been nice to her recently but she was still skeptical if it was going to last forever.“Dad,I ….”The door opened and Drake walked in, Amelia felt her next word caught up in her throat,too hard to swallow,she wondered desperately if he had overheard their conversation but his next action dissuaded her doubt.“Mr Dinkins,Mrs Dinkins,a pleasant afternoon to you.” He said with a pleasant smile.“Oh dear! Call me Helena.” Her mother responded happily.Graham didn't look convinced, he wore an unreadable expression on his face making him appear more intimidating than necessary but Drake wasn't the least bit affected, afterall,he had transacted business with more domineering personalities.“My mother just made lunch, would you like to join us?”“Sure!” Helena said excitedly in sync with her husband’s outburst.“I will pass”“Graham! My dear,don't
