Chapter 109
Peter lifted his eyes to the clock abive the dim flat, his chest heaving as his fingers clenched into tight fists.It was thirty nine minutes after two in the morning, and he was here, staring at nothing, waiting for the echo of his bad decisions to catch up with him.His eyes closed as he thought of the large stack of drugs that he had no way of shipping, of the threats that had started filling his phone ever since the Martinez bankruptcy news broke, and the pressure that forced him to stay awake.The woman he had been with until ten minutes ago was now snoring lightly, and the noise of that peace, despite how superficial, kept him grounded Damn that bitch, Melissa. His eyes thinned as he grabbed a cigarette and lighter, just as his phone lit up with a text message.His heart jumped into his throat, but he knew better than to ignore it or they might take him by surprise.He grabbed the phone, the lighter and cigarettes in one hand, while the other hand swiped the phone open.It was

Melissa paced the length of her room, one hand resting on her waist, the other holding her phone.Her phone was open to new tabs that she had been scrolling to make sure that her pity stunt had worked, but instead, all she could find was another devastating news.NS Corp was expanding into the Singaporean market after having heavy backing ny an anonymous yet significant front runner in the business world."That fucking slut!" Melissa screamed, the time of day be damned as she hurled her phone at the mirror. Her chest heaved hard, tears of anger, annoyance and envy filling her eyes.How could some lowlife like Amelia come from nowhere and steal everything that should rightfully belong to her? How could fate be cruel enough to place someone who got everything given to her above her?She slowly went to the floor, her hands raking through her hair. Calm, calm. Melissa stood up again, then turned to the now smashed mirror. Her phone was miraculously intact, and she grabbed it from the fl
Chapter 107
Ian slowly walked back into the room, his lips lifting in a smile that showed that he had known from the very beginning. "She wouldn't stop crying," he said, his eyes darting between Coulter and Amelia. "I wasn't even sure if I wanted to console her or just tell her that you are so used to this that you smelled it coming from one misplaced static in your phone."Amelia gulped, then turned to Ian. "I hate you. Just know you owe me after this."Ian chuckled, then nodded. "I will pay you back, don't worry. For now, we apparently have a very gutsy man.. or woman in our hands."Amelia turned back to Coulter, who slowly pushed himself up, his back resting lightly on the bedrest. She immediately stood up and propped up the pillows behind him, then adjusted his head, and as if she couldn't help herself, she leaned forward and kissed his forehead, her hand gently caressing the right side of his face."Thank you," he whispered, and she gave a small smile and kissed his cheek once more before l
Chapter 106
Amelia slowly turned towards the bed, her vision blurring with tears as she struggled to believe what she had just heard. Her fingers trembled, and she grabbed the hem of her dress to stop them."Co... Coulter?"Coulter slowly reached up to the oxygen mask, then gently took it off. His eyes were solemn, his lips slightly parted as his eyes met Amelia's. Amelia walked forward, her legs almost giving way under her. By the time she reached the side of the bed where Coulter was lying, she was barely walking on her own. She went straight on her knees, her fingers gripping the edge of the bed, her chest heaving hard."I thought..." she managed to say the minute she could find her breath amidst the tears that were still rolling down her cheeks. "I thought I lost you. I thought you were hurt, I thought you were gone. I didn't know what to do.""I am sorry," Coulter whispered, his fingers reaching to grab hers. Her hands were still trembling, and he sandwiched them between both of his. "I
Chapter 105
Melissa paced around the penthouse, her chest heaving hard. She was still in the same dress she had worn for the meeting, the same dress she had run to the hospital in.Madam Gabriella was sitting on the couch, her legs crossed, her right hand resting on her lap, while the other hand held a cup of tea to her lips. Her eyes wete cold as she watched her daughter pace up and down, hands on her waist."Can you believe it, mother? Coulter was the initial investor. He was the one who pumped fucking three hundred and fifty million dollars into my company. Not just that, when the accident happened earlier, he was not in just any sedan, definitely not the beat up one he always drove. He was in a fucking bugatti. Can you believe it?"Madam Gabriella slowly set the cup on the coffee table in front of her. "It is rather surprising. How are you sure the car belongs to him? Plus, the money for the investment, are you sure it really belongs to him? Maybe he is posing? Maybe he is just... ""There ar
Chapter 104
The ambulance ride was mostly quiet except for the running of the engines and the tiny beeps of the monitor that Coulter was attached to.Amelia held on to Coulter's hand throughout, until they got to a turn that led to a long path covered by trees on each side.Ian took the turn that led straight to the long path, and the ambulance followed. The path was dark, and at the end of the path was a large iron gate that opened up to another larger path. The gates opened, and they drove down till they reached a massive mansion at the very end. Im front was a lion head fountain, and the lights around the property was low, almost as if whoever owned the building didn't want the lights to be overt.Ian got out of the car, just as a team of nurses and doctors walked out of the mansion, the door guarded by guards and a single butler who held the door open.The nurses brought out a stretcher, one that was covered cleanly, and wheeled it out to the ambulance.Ian helped Amelia out of the ambulance
