The girl in the photograph

Chapter 11 — The Girl in the PhotographThe suite had become silent after Alexander left.As Amelia stood alone in the middle of the sitting room, the marriage agreement was still lying open on the coffee table but The words blurred together.Everything about the document felt cold and Calculated Like as if it was a business transaction and Not a marriage.Slowly, she sat down as the Exhaustion settled deep in her bones But the sleep had settled far from her and it refused to come.Her gaze drifted toward the photograph resting beside her.Alexander and Sophia Smiling.The image pulled at her thoughts again and again before She was able to picked it up.The frame felt cool to touch in her hands and The more she stared at it, the more stranger it became.Sophia had never mentioned Alexander.Not once even in passing. Defin Not during family dinners or any of the numerous shopping trips they had engaged in.It was also Not during all those late-night conversations sisters were supposed t

Everyone except her

Alexander silently entered and Every stylist immediately stepped aside.His dark suit fit perfectly as His expression remained as cold and unreadable as ever.Amelia hated that her pulse still reacted whenever he entered a room. Although it was subconscious she still hated it.Alexander’s gaze briefly swept across her and Then the room before settling on the photograph resting on the vanity.He went still Only for a second But Amelia had become attuned to his demeanor that she immediately noticed.It seemed like things would be turning Interesting and with that She decided to take a risk.“Who ordered the room to be cleared?”The question landed like a stone in still water and The room instantly grew tense. One stylist accidentally dropped a makeup brush but yet Nobody dared moved.Alexander’s eyes slowly lifted toward her.“Where did you hear that from?”There it was. A tiny drop in the bass of his voice. It was small but unmistakable coming from someone like Alexander.Amelia held h

The secret they refused to tell

She doesn’t know?” The words echoed in Amelia’s head as she looked at The older woman’s face which had gone completely pale. Vanessa looked equally uncomfortable Which was strange considering A few seconds ago, Vanessa had been enjoying Amelia’s humiliation. Now she looked nervous As if something had gone terribly wrong and with the switch in the atmosphere Amelia took a step forward. “What don’t I know?” The older socialite forced a terrible smile. The kind that people used when they were desperate to change the subject. “I think you’ve misunderstood us here.” Amelia stared at her. “No I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding here. Dont you think?” Her voice was firm as she took a step towards the older woman.. The woman looked away and Vanessa immediately stepped in “Excuse us.” She said as she grabbed the older woman’s arm Almost dragging her away and Within seconds, both women disappeared into the crowd. Amelia stood frozen as Her pulse raced watching the two women

The woman at the door

Chapter 13 — The Woman at the DoorThe door opened slowly as Amelia’s breath caught.Her grip tightened around her phone and For one terrifying second, she thought it might be Sophia.Or worse Alexander.But as The handle turned completely and The door swung inward an older woman stepped inside.Amelia blinked confusedly at The woman looked to be in her late fifties. She seemed Elegant and Composed.The kind of person who carried authority without needing to raise her voice and A housekeeper followed behind her carrying a silver tray.It contained Tea,Biscuits and A glass of water.The older woman’s gaze landed on Amelia. It was Sharp,Assessing and Silent. The silence stretched in the room before she spoke.“You should be asleep.”Amelia frowned at the words of the stranger.“And you should probably knock.”The housekeeper nearly choked as The older woman’s eyebrow lifted slightly.She found Amelia Very interesting.Most people would have immediately apologized but Amelia didn’t and For

He knew Sophia

“She really looks like Sophia.”The words echoed through the grand hall as Amelia froze on the staircase.The stranger’s eyes remained locked on her like he was Studying her or Comparing her and The Judgement was quite evident on his face.For a moment, nobody spoke.But Then Alexander stepped between them. Although The movement was subtle, his stance seemed to be Protective Or possessive but Amelia couldn’t tell which.Either way, it blocked the stranger’s view.The man laughed A humorless laugh.“So that’s why.”Alexander’s expression darkened.“You’ve said enough.”The stranger shrugged nonchalantly.“Have I?”The tension became suffocating as Amelia looked between them. Neither of the men seemed willing to explain anything As per the norm but The stranger finally adjusted his suit and Then looked at Amelia again.“My apologies.”His voice was calmer now like he hadn’t been going head to head with Alexander.“I didn’t mean to frighten you.”Amelia crossed her arms.“You know my sist

The woman in the red dress

A war.The words stayed with Amelia long after Vanessa left.She didn’t put it mildly as a misunderstanding but instead she chose to use a damning term.The thought followed her all through the quiet halls of the Sterling estate before settling into her room.Everyone seemed to know pieces of the story.First Ethan. Then Vanessa and even The socialites at the gala.Alexander’s mother was also not excluded. It seemed to be known by everyone except her.And yet somehow through it all her beloved sister Sophia stood at the center of it.Amelia sat on the edge of her bed and opened her phone. She had left The voice note to remain there. She knew It was mocking but she couldn’t resist not pressing play again.“Ask your husband who spent a year in the hospital because of me.”The message ended as Amelia couldn’t contain the cold shiver that pass through her.What kind of person casually admitted something like that and why did Sophia sound so proud?A knock suddenly interrupted her thoughts

She’s back?

“Your sister is here.”The words seemed to echo through the hall long after they were spoken.Amelia’s body went rigid with shock. She knew That wasn’t possible as Sophia was supposed to be overseas. On yachts with beach stopovers living the carefree life she had chosen over responsibility. So why was she suddenly here and why now of all time.The woman in the red dress seemed pleased by everyone’s reaction. Especially Alexander’s..Slowly, Amelia descended the staircase and neither of the other party spoke to stop her and By the time she reached the bottom, her heart was pounding so hard she could hear it.“What do you mean she’s here?”The woman smiled victoriously like she had gotten Amelia right at the point she wanted.“Aren’t you curious?”Amelia’s patience snapped as she faced her squarely.“Stop speaking in riddles and just get to the the point.”For a second, a genuine sort of amusement flashed across the woman’s face before she looked toward Alexander.“You didn’t tell her?

The accident

Amelia stared at the photograph as Her fingers tightened around the phone.Sophia,Alexander & Ethan all Standing side by side Smiling. It wasn’t forced smiles or polite smiles that portrayed the need to be decent towards each other but real ones.It seemed to be the kind shared between people who genuinely cared about each other and for some reason the image felt wrong.Everything Amelia had seen so far had seem suggested these people hated one another and yet six years ago they managed to look like nothing cold come in between them.Beneath the pictures,Sophia’s message remained on the screen.‘We were all happy before the accident.Amelia’s heart pounded the more she stared at the message.The accident.Finally a real clue she could latch onto not like the whispers or warnings and annoyingly, the half-finished conversations. It wasn’t much but at least it seemed to be an actual answer even though it might be a part of a more massive box of answers.Before she could think, her finger

Who is she?

“The reason your sister ran.”The words hit Amelia like a physical blow as she stared at the photograph lying on Alexander’s desk.The four people in the image seemed happy and Carefree likewise the ine she had seen earlier. They seemed Untouched by whatever disaster had destroyed their lives.Alexander,Sophia,Ethan and the unknown woman.The woman whose face had been violently scratched out. Amelia slowly picked up the photograph with Her slightly trembling fingers.“Who is she?”Alexander’s expression immediately hardened.It seemed Too late for her to swallow back her question and with that she knew She had asked the wrong question again as Silence filled the study.The tension was almost unbearable.Finally, Alexander spoke.“That isn’t important. Hence not the right question tou should be asking.”Amelia nearly laughed.Not important did he say?Someone had literally destroyed the woman’s face in the picture so much it seemed like a transfer of aggression so course it was impor

He couldn’t save her

Amelia didn’t sleep after the messages or after the photographs. She definitely couldn’t Not after learning the name.Olivia Hartwell.The name echoed through her mind over and over again.The woman from the scratched-out photograph or the woman whose grave Alexander visited in secret.The woman Sophia claimed he couldn’t save.By three in the morning, Amelia was still staring at the ceiling thinking and questioning trying to connect pieces that refused to fit to fit together.Eventually exhaustion won but it was only for a few hours.The next morning, Amelia was awakened by another notification as Her eyes flew open,Her heart immediately jumped.It was Sophia.Again.She grabbed her phone as she saw the new message that awaited her.There was No photograph this time around or voice note.It was Just text.‘Did he tell you Olivia yet?’Amelia’s jaw tightened as she felt herself flare up in anger and She immediately typed back.‘Who was Olivia?’The message was read instantly and it was c
