Chapter 31 To love you

Amelia was looking out the window, staring at the beautiful scenery, at the passing trees and buildings.Lucas on the other hand couldn’t seem to take his eyes off her.Sunlight drifted in, catching the fine strands of her hair and setting them aglow. For a moment, she looked ethereal, as if the daylight itself had chosen her as its muse.He stared at the her face, where had such a stunningly beautiful woman been all his life?At that moment, Amelia turned and their gaze met. A quiet electricity pulsed in the air between them.Lucas faltered and looked away.Clearing his throat, he asked. “Should I drop you off at your place or…”Amelia rubbed her neck, wondering what was that tensed atmosphere few minutes ago.“Drop me off at LM hospital, I need to see someone.”“Okay.” Lucas turned to face the road, ignoring the racing of his heart.Amelia stared out the window again.What was it about this man that was making her feel unsettled?Unknown to them, in a darkened corner of the parking l

Chapter 32 In my way

Amelia slung Damian a cold look. "I don’t turn people against each other but you can believe whatever you want, I don’t care." Then, with a sudden shove, she pushed him aside. "You're in my way."Damian stumbled back, caught off guard by her strength. His foot slipped, and he nearly fell.“Brother!" Eve rushed to his side, grabbing his arm to steady him.By the time he regained his balance, Amelia was already walking away, her head held high, her steps light and sure, like she hadn't a care in the world.“Amelia! Stop right there!" Damian shouted, frustration crackling in his voice.But Amelia didn't stop. She didn't even glance back. Divorce hadn't dimmed her. If anything, it had unleashed something stronger, something untouchable.Damian’s heart ached with something he couldn't name. A hollow feeling gnawed at him as he watched her disappear into the distance. His chest tightened, and without thinking, he took a step forward, wanting to run after her.“Damian!" Eve seized his arm, he

Chapter 33 Come to you

Amelia grinned.It turns out that divorce was what was good for her all along. It had given her freedom and a sense of clarity back.She didn’t feel any bit of regret for walking away. And she had no desire to get married again. She had only been joking with Viola this morning.She had just escaped one gilded cage( the Wright family), why would she enter into another one?She wanted to focus on herself from now on. She had carved her own path, had her own wealth, reputation, and independence.She didn’t need anyone’s name of status to validate her place in the world.Yet, some people still thought she was trying all she could to marry another rich man.That idea made her scoffed.Chasing men wasn’t in her dictionary.Amelia sipped her coffee and waited in silence.But just as the minutes ticked by, boredom slowly crept in. She reached for her phone to distract herself.That was why she finally saw the missed calls from Damian. At first, she didn’t feel like calling back.His voice had

Chapter 34 Slip away

Shawn knew better than to agree to the idea that Lucas came to him for therapy sessions.With Lucas’ obvious budding feelings toward her, he knew if he slipped his work address, he'd probably pay dearly for it.Amelia offered a faint smile. "Alright then, I'll leave it to you. Sorry for putting you out."Since Shawn had put it that way, she figured arguing further was pointless.“No trouble at all," Lucas stated curtly.Shawn’s gaze bounced between Lucas and Amelia, a knowing smirk tugging at his lips.“So, what's the plan? Miss Brown, do you need a ride home to get some rest, or..."Amelia shifted awkwardly, a faint flush rising to her cheeks. "I'll just grab a cab. I can't keep imposing on you."“It's really no trouble. I was leaving anyway, it's right on my way," Lucas said, his face expressionless, though the words were a blatant lie.She hesitated, clearly unconvinced, but after a moment, she relented with a soft nod.Just as the three turned to go, an embarrassingly loud rumble e

Chapter 35 Relying on you

“There’s no need for you to come though. We’ve finished everything.” Shawn said, laughing. “And why are you going crazy over food, young master?” He teased.Mark’s jaw clenched.“You punk, I’ll get you for this!”Shawn’s voice lowered, speaking in a hush whisper into the phone.“I’ve figured out a trick to get Lucas to cook again though.”Mark’s eyes widened with interest.“What trick? Tell me!”“Should I? Didn’t you just hear you’ll get me for not tell you that Lucas was cooking?”Mark sighed. “Fine, I’ll let it go. Now, tell me.”Shawn arched an eyebrow and flashed a teasing smile.“So what’s in it for me?”Mark felt like punching him but he tried to control himself.“I just told you. I won’t do anything to get back at you.”“That isn’t enough.” Shawn drawled.“What more do you want?”“Well, first off, are you really willing to do anything I want just for a shot at Lucas’ cooking?”“Yes. Just tell me what you want already.”Mark almost bounced off his heels in anticipation.Shawn lea

Chapter 36 The real Sophia

Meanwhile, Sophia grew tired of accompanying Damian’s family in the hospital. She hated this. Why did Damian have to fall sick?She hated having to stay here and act all worried about him.He was the one who should be worried about her and always take care of her. She didn’t want to be put in a spot where she had to reciprocate.It was too much work for her.She was mad at Damian for passing out but she couldn’t show it. After all, she had to prove to his family that she was the perfect woman for him.Eventually, she decided to go home. She lied to Eve that she wasn’t feeling too well and then she headed home.But halfway through, she changed her mind and decided to go have fun tonight.It was quite funny that Damian saw Sophia as a pure-hearted soul and also someone who could never betray him.But a part of her life that no one knew about was that Sophia patronizes the services of male prostitution. Her sexual life was something someone wouldn’t imagine her doing because of the facade

Chapter 37 So righteous

The next morning, Amelia shuffled out of bed, bleary-eyed and sluggish. Still half-asleep, she fumbled through her morning routine, brushing her teeth with her eyes closed, swaying slightly like a drunk sailor adrift.The hangover hadn't worn off yet. Jessica had shown up last night with a bottle of something strong, and the two of them had drank a lot deeper than planned.Even now, Amelia felt like her head was wrapped in cotton.Suddenly, there was a ruckus outside.Her senses sharpened in an instant. Could it be Jessica coming over again? Clutching her toothbrush, still clad in her cozy bear-print pajamas, she padded toward the front door.“Oh! This one's just perfect! A full sea-view estate! Absolutely ideal for this season, so cozy and tranquil!"Amelia froze mid-step. That voice. Definitely not Jessica. Her brow furrowed sharply. She knew that chirpy, fake-sweet tone anywhere.Martha. What the hell was Martha doing here? And she obviously wasn't alone. Judging by the background c

Chapter 38 Fight for the house

"Can you really heal Julius? And make him fit as a fiddle?" Eve folded her arms, practically salivating at the chance to spring her trap.“Absolutely," Amelia replied, her voice cool and unwavering, laced with an infuriating calm that only made Eve itch to humiliate her.“Good!" Eve leaned forward, eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Let's make it interesting. If you pull it off, I'll give you ten million. If not, you owe me ten million."Eve couldn't believe how easily Amelia had walked into her trap. What an idiot.“Deal." Amelia’s answer came without hesitation, her confidence unwavering.Anna, who had remained quiet until now, chimed in with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Why don't we all get in on this? We'll each put up two million. If you fail, you owe each of us two million."Eve hesitated, lips pursed, but with everyone watching, backing down wasn't an option.Julius lay perfectly still, struggling to suppress a grin. With his feigning to be seriously wounded on the floor,

Chapter 39 Her new man

“The agreement says a seaside property. Not this one. And since the papers aren't finalized, it's still mine," Damian replied coldly.He could still feel the sting of Amelia ignoring his calls, climbing into that luxury car without a word of concern.“But you said this one was mine," She said, looking into his eyes.“Verbal promises don't count. I've changed my mind. It's Sophia’s now," Damian said.Amelia stared at him for a long moment.“Damian...Going back on your word, What kind of man does that?"“I don't need your approval to be a man. You think too highly of yourself, Amelia," Damian sneered.Amelia stood there, stunned, eyes flicking to the others. Their faces were full of smug delight. "You're so clever, right? With all those men you've been charming, I'm sure one of them can buy you a fancy new house," Damian added with a smirk.Amelia said nothing. She had long stopped expecting anything from him. But his words still cut deep. Every cruel syllable jabbed like a needle, turni

Chapter 40 Got you

With a dismissive wave, he went straight for the door and stated firmly, "I'm stepping out. You stay here and be good."“Lucas!" she called, picking up her pace to keep up with him. "Come on, what kind of deal?"She eyed him skeptically. No ordinary business win could have sparked that ridiculous smile, she was sure of it. Even the biggest contracts never made him beam like a fool. Clearly, he was hiding something. But no matter how she probed, the answer eluded her.“Quit stressing about my business.” Lucas remarked, slipping into his usual big-brother mode. "Just worry about getting better, I'll handle everything else."Viola could see he wasn't going to budge. Once he clammed up, not even wild horses could drag the truth out of him. She watched him retreat down the hall, letting out a soft, frustrated sigh. "If only Amelia were around," she grumbled to herself. "She'd have the secret out of him in no time."Viola hadn't known Amelia for long, but something told her that woman could
