Chapter 131 - Time for Transformation

Amelia’s POVSomething inside me shattered. I pressed a hand over my mouth, trying not to sob into the phone. "You’re selling the last thing Mom left me.""She would have wanted it to be useful," he replied coolly, as though he were discussing the weather. "Not rotting under the weight of your sentimentality.""Useful?" I choked out, but he was already speaking over me."Ugh, don’t turn this into some big drama, Amelia. You’ve always had a flair for tragedy."That did it. I hung up before I could scream.I lowered the phone and looked around at what used to be my home.My chest tightened. I stepped into the center of the room, surrounded by all that emptiness, and whispered, "No one is taking this place from me."The words came out shaky at first, but I repeated, stronger this time. "No one."A strange calm washed over me. A mix of grief and resolve. I knew what I had to do. I wasn’t going to let him erase her, or me. I would bring this place back to life, just as I remembered it. O

Chapter 132 - Paint & Patients

Amelia’s POVThe next few days passed in a blur of paint, sawdust and late-night sketches. Every free moment I had, I threw myself completely into the transformation of the house—my house. As if reclaiming it piece by piece could somehow stitch my heart back together.I wasn't going to let my dad sell this place. No matter how hard he tried. My mornings started early, coffee in hand, hair tied back, sleeves rolled up. I stripped the cold white paint from the walls, revealing faint traces of the warmth that used to live here. Every brushstroke of fresh paint felt like an act of rebellion against my father.On Saturday morning, Gabriel showed up at the door. With a toolbox in his hand and that calm, knowing smile on his face."Gabriel!" I greeted him, a little breathless from dragging an old cabinet out of the garage. "What are you doing here?"He raised a brow at the cabinet behind me, half-dragged up the front steps. "I thought you might need a hand with some of the heavier stuff

Chapter 133 - Framed for Her Lies

Amelia’s POVI froze as I watched Liam fumble with the lock. A soft click echoed down the corridor, followed by the faint rattle of pills. My breath hitched. He slipped out a small orange bottle, glanced over his shoulder like a thief, and stuffed it into his hoodie pocket before hurrying away.My entire body went rigid as I wondered what to do. Should I call for a nurse? Confront him?Before I could talk myself out of it, I followed him quietly. My pulse thudded in my ears. Liam darted into one of the private rooms at the end of the hall and shut the door behind him. I pressed myself against the wall, peering through the narrow glass window.He sat on the edge of the bed, hands trembling as he unscrewed the cap. Then, without hesitation, he shook out three white tablets and swallowed them dry, grimacing at the taste.My jaw slackened. "Oh my God…" I whispered.He was self-medicating. Or worse—overdosing himself.A chill crept up my spine. So I’d been right all along. Sienna mus

Chapter 134 - Just a Jealous Man

Amelia’s POV"Gabriel came with me… to help with the volunteering," I said, keeping my chin lifted even as my pulse raced."Not that she owes you an explanation," Gabriel added calmly, stepping closer beside me. His presence was solid and quietly protective.Rowan’s eyes flicked between us, sharp and suspicious. "Why do you both have paint stains on your clothes?"I froze for a heartbeat, then forced a quick smile. "We were painting with the kids earlier. Art therapy."Gabriel gave me a sideways look—half amused, half skeptical—but thankfully stayed silent.Sienna folded her arms, her voice dripping with disdain. "Why do you even care, Rowan? She’s just trying to destroy us with her lies."Rowan’s jaw tightened. "Sienna," he said sharply, "there is no us, okay? Just because I’m defending you and Liam doesn’t mean we’re back together."Her face flickered with hurt, then fury—but before she could retort, I’d had enough. "We have to go," I said, my tone clipped. "Some of us actually cam

Chapter 135 - Doors Closing

Amelia’s POVRowan’s eyes swept over the hallway, his face twisted with suspicion. "So, what? Are you living with him now?"I crossed my arms, exhaling sharply. "No, Rowan. This is my house."He blinked, thrown off. "Your house?""Yes," I said, voice clipped. "My mother left it to me. Not that it’s any of your concern."His jaw tightened, the surprise flickering into something darker. "You never told me that.""You never asked," I snapped, my patience fraying.For a beat, he was silent. Then his gaze narrowed again, relentless. "And this… design competition? What’s that about?"I let out an incredulous laugh. "Are you serious right now? You followed me here, then eavesdropped through the damn window?!""I had to know what was going on," he bit back."By stalking me?" I shot back. "By listening in on my conversations? Do you have any idea how invasive that is?"His nostrils flared, but I didn’t give him a chance to speak. "Fine. You want answers? Yes, I’m entering a design competition.

Chapter 136 - For Good

Amelia’s POVThe next morning, Gabriel showed up right on time, leaning casually against his car with two coffees in hand. "Fuel for courage," he said with a half-grin.I managed a small smile. "I’m gonna need it."The drive to Rowan’s house was quiet but tense. My heart thudded harder the closer we got. The last time I’d walked out of that door, I’d told myself it was temporary. That I just needed space. But now… Now it was final.When we pulled into the familiar driveway, memories crashed over me. Dinners by candlelight, late-night laughter, the smell of his cologne in the hallway. I pushed it all away."Ready?" Gabriel asked softly."No," I admitted, unbuckling my seatbelt. "But let’s do it anyway."Rowan opened the door before I could knock, like he’d been waiting. His eyes flicked between me and Gabriel, jaw tightening. "Why the hell would you bring him here?"I swallowed hard. "He’s just here to help me carry my things."Rowan stepped aside stiffly. "Fine. Take what you want.

Chapter 137 - Anger & Ambition

Amelia’s POVOf course, Rowan didn’t just leave me in peace after I’d moved out.The very next morning, Claudia peeked into my office, her expression cautious. "Amelia… Mr. Lancaster called."I looked up from my laptop, instantly tense. "Rowan?"She nodded. "He said you’re to attend the board meeting at Lancaster HQ this afternoon. He sounded… well, kind of tense. Borderline aggressive, if I’m honest."I groaned softly, pressing a hand to my forehead. "Of course he did. Thanks, Claudia."She hesitated in the doorway. "Do you want me to make up an excuse? Say you’re unavailable?"I managed a tired smile. "No. If I avoid him, he’ll just find another way to make a scene. I’ll go."By the time I reached the glass tower of Lancaster Group Enterprises, my stomach was tight with dread. Every step toward the boardroom felt heavier than the last.When I entered, every head turned. Conversations died instantly.There they were: the board members, sleek and serious in tailored suits. And at the

Chapter 138 - Interrupted & Interrogated

Amelia’s POV"Jeez. What is it today with people barging in here without knocking?" I muttered under my breath, slamming my laptop shut.Rowan’s tall frame filled the doorway, his expression dark as thunder. "Amelia," he said, his tone low and edged. "Answer my question. Are you planning to leave?"Lana froze where she stood. "I, uh… I guess I’ll give you two some privacy, huh?" she murmured, backing away.Rowan didn’t even glance at her. "Close the door on your way out," he said flatly.The latch clicked shut behind her, and suddenly the air felt heavier.I crossed my arms. "You can’t just storm in here like that, Rowan.""Oh, can’t I?" He took another step forward, jaw clenched. "I believe this is my company, and the office I gave you. I have every right to come in here whenever I want.""Seriously? You’re gonna play that card now?" I asked, my voice rising."So this competition you entered… that’s your way out, huh? Just another way to run away from me?" he asked, his voice a low g

Chapter 139 - Someone in my Corner

Amelia’s POVRowan stood beside me, his jaw tight. "We’ll go," he said firmly. Then he turned to me. "Come on, Amelia."I hesitated, staring down at my hands. "Do I even have a choice?"He didn’t answer, but the look in his eyes said everything.When I finally walked out of my office, I felt unsteady, my knees weak. Rowan placed a firm, grounding hand at the small of my back. Normally I would’ve pushed him away, but right now the gesture steadied me. Despite everything between us, his touch felt like a silent promise: ‘I got your back.’As we entered the boardroom, the air was already thick with tension. The directors sat in a semi-circle, papers in front of them, eyes sharp and expectant. VP Pembroke, always the picture of corporate authority, sat at the center with his fingers interlocked."Ms. Hartwell," he said as soon as I stepped inside. "Mr. Lancaster. Please, take a seat."I sat down across from them, feeling every gaze like a weight. Rowan took the chair beside me, but he d

Chapter 140 - Just Friends, Right?

Amelia’s POVGabriel nodded. "To celebrate your imminent success, once we’ve cleared your name.""I’d love to," I said finally, my voice softer than I intended. Then I quickly added, "But just as friends, right?"A flicker of something—disappointment?—passed through Gabriel’s eyes, but he covered it with a polite smile. "Of course. As friends."He said it kindly, but the weight behind his gaze lingered longer than his words.When I got home that evening, the silence hit me like a wall. I slipped off my shoes and dropped my bag on the kitchen counter.The entire project that had filled my days, fueled my purpose, and given me something to believe in again… now felt tainted."Disqualified," I whispered to myself, staring at the sketches scattered on the table. "Was any of this even worth it now?"For a moment, I thought about giving up entirely. What was the point of continuing the renovations if I was branded a fraud? If everything I’d worked for could be erased so easily?But then, as
