Amelia bit her lip as she looked at her phone for the umpteenth time. She had no clue what happened during the dinner, and part of her was afraid to check the news headlines, fearing that she would find out about the dissolution of her engagement from the media.But hours passed, and there was still no announcement from Lady Vanity. Her eyes were beginning to close; she had eaten a nutritious dinner with Isaac and Aiden and was now slowly entering a pleasant food coma. Aiden had promptly made himself scarce after dinner ended, claiming that he was going out on a bike ride.He invited Amelia out, but Amelia shook her head. While the anti-nausea medicine was working its magic to ensure her dinner stayed inside her, a bike ride might prove too much for the pills to combat. It couldn’t even help the niggling anxiety that was threatening to overwhelm her, whenever she thought about the dinner at the Montgomery household.How could she compete with the memory of Matteo’s deceased mother? If

The skin under Matteo’s eye twitched.Jealousy was an ugly green monster, and the words that just left Aiden’s lips were quick to cause it to rear its ugly head within him."Believe it or not, sweet brother, I did not and do not want X’el," Aiden continued before flopping down on the couch. "So that means I know jack shit about your precious company. If you want something you can return to in the future, I’ll need Amelia to make sure I don’t fuck things up in your presence.""Have you ever heard not to bring work home?" Matteo countered."Rich, coming from you," Aiden replied with a snort. "Besides, Amelia has been on medical leave for the last few days. She hasn’t been at the office. One more day and you can kiss X’el’s stocks goodbye! You’re still a shareholder, last I checked, and that shouldn’t be all too favorable for you.""Medical leave?" Matteo asked, looking at Amelia. She had been sick. But had it persisted for so long that she hadn’t been back at the office since he was rep

After their passionate lovemaking, Matteo wanted nothing more than to cuddle Amelia and sleep on the same bed as her. However, he heard Aiden’s loud voice from outside, cheerfully welcoming Isaac home, and telling him of Matteo’s visit."They’ve spent an awfully long time inside together," Aiden said, deliberately raising his voice. "I wonder what they could possibly be doing.""That damn brat..." Matteo scowled, while Amelia snorted in amusement, even as the thought of walking out covered with Matteo’s marks and his essence inside her made her face burn in embarrassment."We’ll have to get up eventually," Amelia said reluctantly, slowly but surely extricating herself from Matteo’s tight hold. She began to put on her clothes. "There’s no place for you to sleep here.""And you’re not moving back with me." Matteo couldn’t help the bitter smile that crossed his lips as he got up and tidied himself. Yet, he knew it was merely wishful thinking; with Emmeline’s issue being so perilous, it w

Steamy Beanery was a coffee shop that had obviously seen better days, with oil smudges on their glass windows and the wallpaper slightly peeling at the edges. But there was a heady scent of caffeine in the air, along with the faint smell of fresh bread that put Amelia’s mind at ease.Her eyes roved around the coffee shop, looking for a shock of red hair. However, as it was nearing dinner time, the coffee shop was quite deserted, and there was no one matching that description. She sighed and went to the counter to ask if there was someone called Leo who was waiting there.The barista nodded and pointed to the booth at the corner. "He’s over there!"Amelia looked over. From her point of view, she could only see the blond head of an adult man. Maybe he shared the same name as Leo?"The person I’m looking for is a teenage boy," Amelia said to the barista. "Did he come with the blond man?""No, I only saw him enter," the barista said. "But if you’re Amelia, he’s expecting you. That man tol

But Amelia could only bite her tongue. Caleb loomed behind her as she walked slowly out of the coffee shop and back into his car. Her eye caught the barista, and she wordlessly tried to beg for help, but it was useless.The woman only smiled and said ’thanks for coming’ in a cheerful voice, before turning back to clean the tables.Caleb chuckled darkly. "No one will save you now." He led her to the backseat of his car.Amelia’s heart sank; the windows were tinted, so no one would be able to see anything even if she signed for help. Now, her only hope was that Caleb was driving, so that she would be able to spend time away from him to think of a solution.But that was not to be. To her horror, there was already a chauffeur in the car, so Caleb was in the back seat next to her."You’ve thought a lot about this," Amelia said faintly, as she was ushered into the car. The moment the door slammed shut, Caleb leaned over to slap a pair of handcuffs on her wrists. "You were carrying this in p
