Amelia rose on her feet, took her purse, and started walking towards the door, once she rested her hands on the doorknob, she turned and gazed at her grandma before smiling."Grandma, please…" She declared beneath her lips.Modella let out a deep breath before bundling herself into one. When she arrived close to the door, she whispered in Amelia's ears before walking away. She said Amelia was not going to run away from their conversation for long.Indeed Amelia was running away from their conversation.

"This is again something you want to please your wife with. I don't even know why you keep wanting to help her whereas she isn't doing anything to help you. Why don't you just divorce her, son?" Damian asked calmly. He rose from his seat and walked to the chair where Jace was comfortably seated."Dad, it's not what you think." Jace tried to convince his dad."Then make me understand. Because from this story the only thing coming to mind is the fact you are trying to do everything for her to forget about that guy. Can you tell me how you met this lady?" Damian asked sarcastically."I know Amelia is behaving this way because she thinks that dumbass is the one helping her. She thinks he has been the one providing her with everything she needs for her business" Jace uttered firmly.After some rounds of walks, Damian finally patted his lips and declared, "Instead of wanting to ruin him, why don't you just tell your wife who you are? I mean, you can tell her you had no idea you were a billi

"It was nice sharing a moment with you, Mrs. Amelia," Blake uttered with a smile on his face just after opening the car door for her."I can say the same here, it was much fun having breakfast with you." Amelia smiled at him before climbing down the car. With her purse clutched to her stomach, she gradually took her time when walking since she was wearing pointed heels.Just when she was about to enter the H-building, she heard someone call her name from the other side of the road. When she turned her head in that direction, she was faced with Daryl standing beside his car with his car keys shaking in his hands.Her shoulders dropped, at the same time she took a deep breath before starting to walk toward him. "Daryl what-" Before she could complete her statement, Daryl harshly interrupted her statement."What were you doing with that guy and why did you have breakfast with him?" Daryl asked her, his face full of irritation.Amelia turned her head in the direction of Blake's car and

"Good morning, darling. I made fruits and vegetables. Please have some before leaving the house." Jace stated with a bowl of fruits in his hands.Amelia dropped her jaws before replying to his plead, "You know I don't consume fruits in the morning." She said icily."I know that, but please just do this. It's been three days since you refused to talk to me. I know you are angry, so I made this for you." Jace stated hoping to make Amelia change her mind."Okay, okay. I will eat, not because of your pitiful face here. I'll eat just because I don't want your efforts to be reduced to nothing." Amelia said before dragging a chair out off the table. She tucked herself comfortably and began piercing on the fruits with a cutlery."I hope you are enjoying them, my love."

On the contrary, she gazed at him dangerously before concentrating back on her plate of frui

Relax and take good care of your wife." Damian said over the phone.In happiness, Jace got up from his seat and was gradually walking into the garden with his one hand loosely clutched to his mouth, from preventing him from shouting.He ended at the pear tree and embraced it before saying, "Thank you so much, Dad. I'm so grateful. Thank you one million times." Jace stated excitedly."Anything for you my son. You are my right hand so I will do anything for you. Anything I can do to put a smile on your face, I won't hesitate" Damian spilled over the cell phone."Thank you one more time."

Blake stated."And for the name, I'm truly called Blake Carrington. Rocky was a name that originated two years ago when I help him come up with a fantastic business idea. From this day, he called me Rocky, meaning I rock." Blake added nervously."Oh, I see," Amelia said, even though she was still afraid of him.He just parted his lips hoping to say something when Amelia's phone rang in her bag. She raised her hand asking him to stop so she could have a moment of silence when answering her call.When she brought out the phone from her bag, the number on the screen caused her to adjust herself before responding, "Hello, Sir." She replied politely."Hello, Mrs. Amelia. Concerning the meeting, please let's schedule this for another week. I'm so taken by other people's proposals, okay." Torry said calmly over the phon

After Jace informed the family about Amelia's condition, he dashed out of the house in a haste. He was probably not going to allow his wife in the hands of a total stranger.It took him forty-five minutes to arrive at the hospital. Not that it was far, but he had issues in getting a taxi.Once he stepped his foot in the waiting room, he spotted two nurses who were discussing. The ladies seem to be avoiding his presence. He was already used to this, so he approached them."Good evening, please what room is my room admitted into?" He asked calmly. His head slightly lowered and his tone soft.One of the ladies raised her head and sighed before resuming to her conversation. The other nurse with whom she was discussing didn't bother to throw him a glance. "Please, can I know in which room my wife is admitted?" Jace summoned up his courage, taking a deep breath before uttering."She was with another person before you came bothering us." The nurse finally raised her head, "Walk through this

"Can I have an idea of how much I'm to settle?" Jace stated with a shy smile that crossed his face. He knew after his wife got to know he had settled the bills, she would pay full attention to him.To his greatest surprise, the nurse behaved as if Jace wasn't addressing her. She turn her head left and right before muttering, "What bills are you talking about?" Though he didn't understand what game the lady was trying to play, he still made sure to avoid keeping a contorted face toward her."My wife's bill, that's the bill I want to pay for." He said. He tried all means possible to avoid raising his voice."Oh that," She sighed before continuing, "Someone else paid the bills. He was even kind enough to let me keep the balance" She stated clearly."Someone?" Jace's brows furrowed just at the mention of this statement, "Who could it possibly be?" He finally gathered his courage to ask the lady."The handsome man who slipped into your room a while ago," She said at the same time chucklin

This statement of hers sent Jace's adrenaline pumping with pressure. As he held himself from crashing on the floor. How could she ask him to stay out in the midst of people?"Mom, I brought Amelia some fruits." He said, gazing at the plastic of fruits he had in his hands before gazing back at his mother-in-law with a pitiful face."What joke is that, huh? Didn't you see fruits here before forcing yourself to go and buy more? You always want to do more. Please leave that place before I change it for you." Elizabeth stated with a grin on her face.Left with no choice, he was forced to close the door behind him. Standing behind the door and mumbling to himself, he overhead footsteps walking in his direction. He adjusted himself as it was going to be a shame for anyone to see him standing behind the door like a loose being.The face of the nurse revealed itself, he absolutely did not want anything to do with her. To this effect, he gathered himself before taking his leave. At least, he had

Mrs. Elizabeth asked with a grin on her face."Oh no, on the contrary," The nurse's face creased before lightening up, "This handsome man here covered the whole bill." The nurse said pointing at Robert."I am also here to let you know she can go back home. After the series of tests we ran, we found out it was just an intoxication. The doctor prescribed her some medications." The nurse added."Oh wow, thanks so much." Elizabeth turned to him and saluted his gesture."Oh no, don't thank me. I will do much more."
