Chapter 153
Coulter slowly walked down the stairs, Madam Gabriella's phone tucked carefully inside his pocket. Ian and Jason have gone ahead, leaving him behind to savour her expression. Whatever she would give, which, knowing Madam Gabriella was a whole lot.Madam Gabriella was pacing the length of the sitting room, her voice rising as some of the guards tried to stop her."Let me be!" She yelled, yanking her hand away from one of the guards. "I still have forty per cent of this house! You have no right to stop me!""Ma'am," one of the guards said, stepping forward. "The arrangement was explicit. Your forty per cent jurisdiction absolutely does not include this place. Whatever you are looking for, describe it to us and we will try our best to find it for you."She stopped, her eyes thin as she looked up to the guard. "What I am looking for is important! You don't know it. Just let me look for it!"The guard held her back, and Coulter raised a hand as he finally descended the stairs, his smile sm

Amelia dressed up in a smart black suit and pants combo, then turned to the mirror. Coulter sat on the edge of the bed behind her, his eyes thin as he watched her, his fingers holding on to his phone."You are staring," she said, her lips parting in a small smile.He shrugged. "You are beautiful."Amelia gave a small smile, then fixed her earrings and then clasped her watch on her wrist. She still wore the diamond ring."Will you be going into the office?" He nodded. "I will. For a few hours, at least."Amelia nodded, then leaned down to place a small kiss on his forehead. "Be a good boy once I am gone."He laughed, then kissed her properly. "Sure enough."She turned away, then walked down the stairs. Melissa amd Madam Gabriella were both downstairs, hovering around the thin line between the dining room and the sitting room where they were not explicitly forbidden to be."Look who is here," Madam Gabriella said, her voice low and venomous.Amelia turned around, despite knowing she wa

Amelia woke up to the sound of the shower and a knock on the room door. Her brows furrowed as she lay there, getting used to the environment as the events of last night flooded into her mind.Coulter was not in bed, but since the shower was running, she had an idea where he was. The knock, however....She slowly got out of bed and opened the door. A house help was holding a lavish breakfast trolley in front of her, her smile small and apologetic."I apologize for waking you, ma'am. I brought breakfast."Amelia gave a small smile and moved away to let the woman push the trolley in. I closed the door, then turned to her as she gently fixed the bed, then set the food on it, making sure the foldable table she was setting on the bed wouldn't slip over."You should have left it downstairs," Amelia said, turning to check the time.Her unintended vacation was over, and she had to go to work. Especislly since she had to meet Sarah.The house help gave a small smile. "I didn't want anything to

They settled into silence once more. Amelia half expected Coulter to go out of his way in order to rub things into Melissa's face. That, or that he would be completely detached. She wasn't sure which one she feared more since both would indicate that he, at least, to an extent, cared what Melissa thought, and maybe, even wanted to make her jealous.To her pleasant surprise, Coulter was the same person he always was. He didn't smother. He cut up the steak for her, like he always did, served her what she wanted, just like he always did.She felt warmth bloom in her chest. He wasn't trying to impress Melissa or show her that she night have a chance. He was being himself, like Melissa's seat was still empty. It was refreshing."This was cooked medium rare," Melissa said suddenly. "Do you remember, Coulter? I only like rare."Amelia raised a brow at the sheer audacity in the comment. She opened her mouth to say something, but Coulter's hand gently dropped to her thigh, squeezing a little.

"I am sorry about that," Coulter said, gently caressing down Amelia's face. "If you don't like it here, and I know you don't, you can always go back to the villa. I will visit often and...""Shut up and kiss me," Amelia said, leaning up to him.Coulter laughed, then obliged, gently cupping her face, his thumb caressing her neck, as he took her lips.They stood there for a long minute, Amelia tilting her head slightly so she could feel him deeper.She broke the kiss, then rested her face on his chest, her eyes closing. "You smell so good. And down there... yes, it's a hassle dealing with them, but I loved seeing it. And I will never leave you alone with those women. Yes, you will have Ian and the guards, but I will assume you will feel so much better with me."Coulter chuckled. "Don't assume. I am much better with you."She nuzzled into his neck again. "I love what you made of this place. This room feels like something I would have designed myself."Coulter kissed her forehead. "I am

"You!" Madam Gabriella managed to say, her hands trembling.She held on to the railing of the stairs and forced herself up, her chesg heaving hard. "You... how dare you?"Coulter raised a si gle brow as he carefully led Amelia in.Melissa's eyes rested on Amelia's, and Amelia gave a smal smile, her lips lifting. She turned away to face Coulter, baring the dark red hickey that rested high on her neck.Melissa sucked in a sharp breath, and it took a mix of restraint, sheer will, Coulter's presence, and all the guard around to stop her from clawing that hickey out of Amelia's neck."What do you mean?" Coulter asked in his usual soft spoken way. "I came back home after a long vacation. What is wrong about that?""You knew!" She screamed, moving forward. "You offered to cover the rest. This was never part of the plan! This was never psrt of the agreement!""Show me a written agreement, then. Show me where I agreed to sign the house over to you or stay away from my own investment forever. N
