CHAPTER TWENTY ONE - CAUGHT IN A KISS AT THE OFFICE!Amelia's POV“Why does he need Lena?” I masked my confusion with a forced smile as I took in Drake's appearance. Dressed for work, he looked ready to leave, and I wondered why he needed to see her. “It’s fine. If she’s not here, don’t worry about it. Take care, okay?” He leaned in to plant a kiss on my cheek, said his goodbyes, and walked away. I lingered, watching him leave, then wiped the spot where he had kissed me. Gross.“Lena, you can come out now. He’s gone!” I called out.Lena appeared with a weak smile, her gaze flickering away from mine. I gathered up the clothes I had discarded on my bed. “Get me something to eat. I’ll change and meet you downstairs,” I instructed, waving her off.“Yes, ma’am,” she replied, nodding.Once she left, I slipped into my outfit and decided to glam up a bit for my first day. After putting on my heels, I snapped a few pictures, though I wasn’t usually one for taking selfies. But for some reason,

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE - TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF, LUCIANAmelia's POVI was pacing around the room like a caged animal would, as my mind raced a million miles a minute. My hands trembled even as I couldn't stop fidgeting.Okay... I took a deep breath. Jeremy knows about one kid. Just one. He has no clue I had twins for him. That's a start, right? It'll make things easier. Maybe.I grabbed my head, trying to calm the storm inside me, when my phone buzzed on the desk. I moved to pick it up, but then I heard murmurs from the office opposite mine.Some staff were whispering. "Did you see her? Kissing the boss on her first day." One of them said. Another chimed in, "No shame at all. Who does that? Probably slept her way up to this position."I winced. Why? Why did people who knew nothing about me feel the need to assume? I turned to Isadora, who was sitting at her desk and ignoring my existence. She hadn't even glanced at me once. Sharing an office with her was nauseating. I'd have to talk to L

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE - WILL YOU MARRY ME AGAIN?Amelia's POV"Lucian," I whispered, "Are you saying... are you saying that Drake... that he's killed them?"Lucian's silence was more damning than any words could have been. I felt a cold sweat break out on my skin. To be honest, I knew of Drake's dubious ways in business but... This? To think that he.."Wait, how long has this been going on? We've been married since five years. I... I never noticed.""Amelia, according to the dirt we have on him, it's been six years. Which means that he's been doing this even when married to you. He not just killed. He tortured them, as it seems."I swallowed hard. "Why... why would he do that? What purpose could that possibly serve?""You should know that. When you met him, he was so bent on destroying Jeremy right? He'd do anything for power. And control.""But... Lena. The maid. You think he's abusing her too?"Lucian nodded. "It's likely. Drake has a pattern. I think he preys on those who can't fight

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN - DO WHATEVER YOU DEEM FIT FOR HERAmelia's POVWith every ounce in my body, I pushed Drake off me and slapped him twice. Only the sounds of our heart beating erratically could be heard. Drake's eyes were wide and he still didn't believe I'd just slapped him. "Why? Why did you kiss me?" I asked him in a whisper. I didn't trust myself not to whisper. If I tried... I'd fail and I'd cry. "Amelia, he's your husband!" "I don't care. You promised to take this slow. You hurt me once and I'm not going to let you hurt me again. I... I mean..." I wiped my lips and spat on the floor.Drake's eyes went to the spittle and he frowned."Don't you dare... touch me again. Oh. My. God. This is crazy. I can't stay here with a psycho. A man who doesn't know the meaning of slow. If you're forcefully kissing me now then what about tomorrow? Will you force me to sleep with you?" "Amelia, stop.""What's next? If I don't you'll hurt me?" "You know... I can see through this facade of
