Amelia’s jaw dropped. She could not believe his audacity. “ So you decided to rip him away from his life here? Just because of me? ” “ Not just because of you, ” his voice dropped, low and unapologetic. “ Because he was a distraction. And because I don’t like sharing what’s mine. ” Her heart skipped at the last words but she hid it. She stepped closer, pointing a finger at his chest, “ You’re unbelievable. Do you know how selfish you sound? ” He smiled in a way that showed he was not ashamed “ Yes. And I don’t care. ” His shamelessness made her blood boil. She screamed, “ I hate you! ” Ryan’s smirk widened into a grin, and he leaned lazily against his desk, “ I love you too, mama, ” he called after her as she spun on her heel and stormed out. Ryan chuckled to himself and whistled, " You don’t hate me, baby. Not even close. “ In her office, Angel clenched her fist under the desk until her knuckles ached. “ Shit, ” she muttered under her breath. She had underestimated him. She thought R

“ Always been wise. You just never listen, ” Stella teased, making Amelia laugh softly. They stayed on the phone for another hour before they hung up, The next morning, Amelia groaned and sat up, her body feeling heavy. After freshening up, she padded downstairs, expecting the house to be quiet as usual. But Ryan was in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with a mug of coffee in his hand. When he saw her, he straightened immediately. “ Good morning, ” he said carefully. Amelia eyed him, unsure of how to respond. She settled for a cautious, “ Morning. ” Silence followed until Ryan set his mug aside and crossed the space between them, “ Amelia… about last night. ” She folded her arms, bracing herself, “ What about it? ” His jaw tightened, but he spoke anyway “ I shouldn’t have said it like that. I was angry. ” He ran a hand through his hair. “ I don’t like Daniel, and the thought of you with him made me lose control. ” Amelia’s lips pressed into a thin line, “ You mean when you tol

Amelia rolled her eyes so dramatically she could see Ryan’s jaw twitch with irritation “ Are you being possessive again? ” she asked. He shook his head “ This is me showing concern for you. Be very careful, okay? ” Deep down, Amelia knew he was right but she wouldn’t give him that satisfaction “ Well, thank you, ” she said and walked away. *********** Amelia met Stella by the lecture hall the next day after class. “ Hey, miss social butterfly, ” Stella said, looping her arm through Amelia’s without asking “ You missed breakfast again. This is your punishment. ” Amelia laughed “ Forgive me. I was rescuing my dignity from the sink. ” Stella’s mouth quirked “ You eat like a grandmother lately. What’s new? More Ryan drama? ” Amelia hesitated but then decided honesty would be easier “ I’ve made a new friend, ” she said. “ Her name is Lila and she’s in Lit. We met in a park last week. ” Stella stopped walking for some seconds and stared at her like she had declared war “ You what? ” Amelia

Amelia smiled, grateful that the tension had melted away. She had feared rejection would make things ugly, but instead, it left them both lighter somehow. “ Thanks for understanding, ” Amelia whispered. “ Of course, ” Lila said, stretching. “ Now get some sleep. Big day tomorrow. ” Amelia nodded, nestling deeper into the blanket. They slept without any more drama. *********** Ryan was sitting in the living room when Amelia returned home the next morning. It looked like he had been waiting for her. Amelia came to a stop the second their eyes met. “ Where were you? ” he demanded, his voice low and heavy with barely restrained anger. Amelia shifted uneasily, clutching her bag tighter “ I was at a friend’s place. ” Ryan’s jaw clenched. He stood, running a hand through his hair “ A friend? You mean Lila? The same girl I warned you about? ” Amelia rolled her eyes and slipped off her shoes “ Don’t start, Ryan. Nothing happened. ” “ Nothing happened? ” His voice shot up as he closed the dista

The next morning, Amelia nervously adjusted her hair in front of the mirror. Her stomach churned with unease as she waited for him. “ Stop biting your lip, ” Ryan’s deep voice rumbled from the doorway. Amelia spun around, caught red-handed. He looked devastatingly handsome in his tailored navy suit and dark tie that screamed money. His wristwatch shined under the light, and his sharp jaw made her heart thump harder. “ I’m not nervous, ” she lied. Ryan smirked knowingly and stepped closer “ Yes, you are. But don’t worry, Amelia. Once today is over, nobody will dare spread another word about you. ” Her heart fluttered at his protective tone, but she rolled her eyes to hide her emotions “ I don’t want people to think I’m flaunting… ” “ You’re not flaunting, ” he interrupted firmly. “ I’m the one flaunting. Let them see exactly who I choose to spend my time with. ” Her cheeks burned crimson, and she quickly looked away. He really doesn’t know what he does to me… she thought. Soon, they ar
