CHAPTER 31: THE NIGHT NO ONE SLEPT

The house didn’t feel like a home anymore.It felt like a place waiting for impact.After Damian’s final words, silence had swallowed everything. Even Sophie had stopped pacing. Even Adrian had stopped watching the door.Amelia remained standing near the table.But Damian himself was gone.He hadn’t stormed out.He hadn’t shouted.He had simply… left the room.Like someone trying not to break in front of witnesses.And that unsettled Amelia more than anything else he had done that night.Adrian finally broke the silence.“He’s not coming back into this room,” he said quietly.Sophie frowned. “What makes you say that?”Adrian’s eyes stayed fixed on the hallway.“Because that look… wasn’t anger.”Amelia swallowed slightly.She already knew what Adrian meant.It had been something worse.Something heavier.Decision.---Upstairs, Damian stood alone in the dark guest room.He didn’t switch on the lights.He didn’t sit.He just stood by the window, staring at the rain hitting the glass lik

CHAPTER 32: A MAN WHO HAS DECIDED

Morning came without softness.The sky over the house was pale and unsettled, like it hadn’t decided what kind of day it wanted to be.Amelia barely slept.Neither had anyone else.The tension from the night before still lingered in the walls, in the silence, in the way footsteps echoed a little too clearly through the hallway.Sophie was the first to come downstairs.She looked exhausted.“You’re up early,” she said quietly, spotting Amelia already sitting in the living room.Amelia didn’t look away from the window.“I didn’t sleep.”Sophie sighed and sat beside her.“Neither did anyone else, if that helps.”It didn’t.Because Amelia already knew.Damian hadn’t left the house.She could feel it.Even if she hadn’t seen him yet.Adrian appeared moments later, tying his jacket as if preparing for something important.He looked at both of them.“Something’s off.”Sophie raised a brow. “Just now you noticed?”Adrian ignored her sarcasm.“Damian didn’t react like someone trying to stop he

CHAPTER 33: THE THING HE DIDN’T SAY

The door clicked shut behind Damian.Soft.Final.Not loud enough to feel like a threat.But heavy enough to feel like one anyway.Amelia stood a few steps away from him, arms folded loosely across her chest.Her eyes didn’t leave his face.“Show me what?”Damian didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he placed the folder on her small desk.Then slowly turned to face her.It wasn’t the way he usually stood.Not defensive.Not aggressive.Controlled.Like someone who had already decided the ending of the conversation before it began.“I went to see something this morning,” he said quietly.Amelia frowned slightly.“That’s not an answer.”“I know.”Silence stretched.Then Damian opened the folder.Inside were printed documents.Flight details.Hospital records.And something else.Amelia’s eyes narrowed.“What is all this?”Damian didn’t respond right away.Instead, he pulled out a single sheet.And handed it to her.Amelia hesitated before taking it.Her eyes scanned it.Then stopped.Her

CHAPTER 34: BETWEEN TRUTH AND LEAVING

The footsteps outside the door stopped.Then came the knock.Sophie’s voice followed immediately.“Amelia? Can I come in?”Amelia didn’t answer.Her eyes were still on Damian.The folder sat open between them like something alive—spilling truth into a room that was already too small for it.Damian didn’t move.Didn’t speak.Just watched her.Waiting.Amelia finally exhaled.“Give me a minute,” she said loudly enough for Sophie to hear.A pause.Then Sophie’s footsteps faded.Silence returned.But it wasn’t the same silence as before.This one was heavier.Tighter.Charged.Amelia turned back to Damian.“You can’t just drop something like that and expect me to stay still.”Damian nodded slightly.“I know.”“That doesn’t change anything.”“It might.”Amelia let out a short breath.“You really think telling me Vanessa was involved in something worse is going to make me cancel my entire life?”Damian’s jaw tightened slightly.“No.”A pause.“I think it makes you understand why I couldn’t

CHAPTER 35: DAY ONE OF TRUTH

Morning arrived without softness again.But this time, something had changed in the house.It wasn’t quieter.It was sharper.Like the silence was now waiting for something to happen inside it.Amelia woke earlier than usual.She didn’t need an alarm.Her mind hadn’t truly slept.Ten days.That was the agreement she had made.Ten days of truth.And somehow, that felt heavier than the idea of leaving entirely.She sat up slowly, one hand instinctively resting on her stomach.The baby kicked faintly.A reminder that nothing about her life was simple anymore.A soft knock came at the door.Before she could answer, Sophie peeked in.“You’re awake,” she said quietly.Amelia nodded.Sophie stepped inside fully, carrying a small cup of tea.“I made this,” she said, placing it beside the bed. “Because yesterday was… insane.”Amelia gave a faint, tired smile.“That’s one word for it.”Sophie sat at the edge of the chair.“Are you really doing this?”Amelia looked at her.“Do I have a choice?”

CHAPTER 36: THE FIRST TRUTH

Nobody touched their food.The breakfast Damian had prepared sat forgotten on the table.The atmosphere had shifted the moment he said those words."Vanessa didn't start with you."Amelia stared at him.Waiting.Sophie looked uncomfortable.Adrian remained silent, but his attention sharpened.Even he wanted to hear what Damian was about to say.Damian rested his hands on the table.For a moment, he looked like he was reconsidering everything.Not because he wanted to hide it. Because once he started talking, there would be no taking any of it back.Amelia broke the silence first."You said truth."Damian looked at her."I did.""Then stop stalling."His lips almost twitched.Almost.The old Amelia used to say that whenever she got impatient.For a second, the memory hurt.Then he looked away."Fine."The room fell silent again.Damian took a slow breath.Then began.---"I met Vanessa almost seven years ago."Nobody interrupted."At the time, Vale Holdings was expanding international

CHAPTER 37: DAY TWO OF TRUTH

The house was unusually quiet the next morning.Not because everyone was asleep.Because everyone was thinking.The agreement Amelia had made with Damian hung over the house like an invisible clock.Ten days.Ten days before her flight.Ten days before she left the country.Ten days before Damian lost whatever chance remained between them.And now they were already on Day Two.Amelia stood by the kitchen window, holding a mug of tea between both hands.Outside, the morning sky was gray.Rain threatened in the distance.Inside, her thoughts were far worse.She hadn't expected Damian's honesty yesterday.For years she had wanted explanations.Wanted answers.Wanted him to tell her why she had never been enough.Now he was finally talking.And somehow that made everything more complicated.Because it would have been easier if she still hated him.A lot easier.Footsteps approached behind her.She didn't need to turn around.She knew who it was."You're up early."Damian's voice was quiet

CHAPTER 38: THE LEAK

Nobody spoke.For several long seconds, the kitchen remained completely silent.Amelia stared at the article on Sophie's phone.The words seemed to blur together.Pregnant.Ex-wife.Secret move.Mystery man.Every detail she had fought so hard to keep private was suddenly public.Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach.A protective gesture.One she didn't even realize she was making.Damian noticed immediately.And something dangerous flashed across his face.Not anger.Not frustration.Protectiveness.The kind that appeared when someone threatened something he considered his.Sophie swallowed nervously."The article is spreading fast."Amelia looked up."How fast?"Sophie hesitated.Then showed her the screen.Thousands of comments.Thousands of shares.And the numbers kept climbing.Every second.Every refresh.Higher.Higher.Higher.Amelia felt sick.This was exactly what she had wanted to avoid.The attention.The speculation.The endless public opinions from people who knew

CHAPTER 39: NO MORE SECRETS

The room went silent.Not the ordinary kind of silence.The kind that arrives before disaster.Damian's grip tightened around the phone.For the first time in days, a genuine alarm crossed his face."What do you mean they leaked the airport?"Nathan's voice came through the speaker."Exactly what I said."A pause."The article was updated three minutes ago."Damian's jaw clenched."Take it down.""We're trying."Trying.Not succeeding.Trying.Damian hated that word.Because it meant the damage was already done.He ended the call and looked up.Nobody spoke.Amelia stood frozen beside the table.Sophie looked frightened.Adrian's expression had darkened considerably.The atmosphere inside the house suddenly felt heavier.More dangerous.More real.Because this wasn't gossip anymore.This wasn't social media speculation.Someone was actively tracking Amelia.Tracking her movements.Tracking her plans.Tracking her future.And nobody knew who.Amelia finally found her voice."How?"It w

CHAPTER 40: SAFE HOUSE

The red light continued blinking.Once.Twice.Three times.Nobody moved.The shattered glass lay scattered across the floor, reflecting the blinking light in dozens of tiny fragments.Outside, reporters still crowded the property.Their voices drifted through the broken window.Oblivious.Unaware that the story they were chasing had just become something much darker.Amelia's heart hammered painfully against her ribs.Her hand remained pressed against her stomach.Protective.Instinctive.Terrified.Damian stood frozen, the note clenched tightly in his hand.His eyes never left the object.Not for a second.Adrian slowly stepped closer."What is it?"Damian didn't answer immediately.Instead, he pulled out his phone."Nathan."The call connected almost instantly."Sir.""I need security here now."Nathan immediately picked up on the tension."What happened?"Damian's voice was cold."Someone threw something through the window."Silence.Then:"Is anyone hurt?""No."A pause."Not yet
