AMELIA’s POV…I went through the final summary of what I had spent the whole day preparing and once I was sure of what I had prepared, I handed it to Alex who was preparing to go for another meeting.“Here you go.” I told him and he took it as he stared at me, waiting for me to explain what it was but I didn’t. I just gestured at him to check what it was about and he nodded.He went through the file and when he was done, he raised his head to stare at me, shocked. “You… you prepared this for me?” He asked me and I nodded as I smiled.“That little business deal might not have “affected you”, but I know a little bit of you is still thinking about it so that’s a proposal I spent all night making. I have weighed all the pros and cons and I hope you can give it some thought, too.” I told him and he smiled as he got off his seat, coming to me as he held my hand.“My little breeche prepared it. Why wouldn’t I give it thought?” He asked me and I smiled.We spoke for some time before Ivan cam

AMELIA’s POV…“Yes, you heard me! I am only keeping her for the baby. You know that in the end I am only going to marry Ariana so what is the point of all of this?”As I ran to my room, those words kept replaying in my head and I started to feel a sharp pain in my stomach as I stopped by a corner, resting on the cupboard that was there as tears streamed down my cheeks. “I don’t care about the business deal. What matters is that we’re together and together, we’re going to start our own little family.” Recalling these words that Alex had told me only but a few days ago, I felt my heart clench.A maid walked to me as she handed me a glass of water. “Here. I thought you might need this. You don’t look so good and….”I shook my head. “I am fine, thank you.” I told her and she left it there as she walked away.I wanted a glass of water. I really did, but I had still not grown to trust the people around here after what had happened with Lilly the last time. Alex had promised to get to the b

AMELIA’s POV….There was a moment of awkward silence between the both of us as he looked at me, like he would get whatever answer he sought by staring at me.It didn’t seem to work for him, though, because I concealed whatever emotion I was feeling and he nodded as he stepped a little farther from me.“What were you up to yesterday?” He asked me and I clenched my fists as I recalled being taken to the hospital.I looked down at my stomach and I felt tears well up in my eyes as I recalled the doctor’s words.“You’ll have a complicated pregnancy and if care isn’t taken, you’ll lose the child…. And probably your womb.”Recalling her words, I clenched my fists as I shook my head. I couldn’t stress myself. This baby meant a lot to me even though things weren’t the best between the dad and I. “It’s fine, Amelia. Don’t get stressed over nothing.” I told myself as I stared at him.I forged a smile as I took in a deep breathe. “I should be asking you that, or didn’t you know?” I asked him and

AMELIA’s POV….“If you think that’s the case, then fine. Go on with your miserable unloved life.” He told me, and with that, he rolled his eyes as he walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.The moment he left, I fell to the ground as tears streamed down my cheeks. I ran my fingers through my hair as I stared at the door, hoping he would at least come back to listen and explain everything to me, but he didn’t.I got off the floor as I opened the door slowly, peering through it with tears in my eyes to see if he was maybe standing at the door, waiting for me to say something, but he wasn’t. He was gone.I contemplated going after him, but after much thought, I decided not to. He was at fault here. He was the one who had hurt me. He was the one who stood me up to spend time with Ariana. He was the one who was getting back with the same woman he had assured me he wouldn’t so why did I have to go to him?I walked back to the bed as I sat on it, looking down at my stomach. I h

AMELIA’s POV…As he ran towards Lilly and myself, tears streamed down my cheeks and I looked down. Once again, I was leaving and I didn’t even tell him.“You’re doing it again, aren’t you?” Were the first words he said to me as he finally stood in front of me.I sniffed as I held on to the hem of my cloak. “I’m…I’m sorry and…”“You’re always sorry, Amelia. You do the same thing over and over again, but then you’re sorry. Do you even consider me your true best friend like you claim you do or….”I raised my head immediately as tears streamed down my cheeks. “I do. I swear. I didn’t tell you because I knew you’d stop me. I….” I staggered back as I crashed against a tree. “I just can’t take it anymore, Kevin. I just can’t take the fact that the first time I fell in love, the first time I tried to make something work, it failed and badly at that.” I told him as I shook my head.“Alpha Alexander? You…”I grabbed Lilly as I placed my hands over her ears. “He cheated on me. I should have seen
