CHAPTER 101
There was a gala, a night for all of the elites and Titans in the entire city that night. Jason wanted to make sure that Luca's reputation was ruined here so that no one in that room would think of partnering with him in the nearest future after he was done with him. The ballroom of the Grand Elysian Hotel glowed with crystal chandeliers, silk gowns, and billion-dollar conversations. It was the Event of the season whereby business moguls, foreign diplomats, social elites. The entire Thornton family was in attendance, including Amelia, looking radiant yet tense in an asymmetrical purple gown like a princess. Jason was there too, smirking. He held a glass of champagne, watching the room like a wolf before a kill. “Any moment now,” he whispered to himself. Then the crowd parted and Luca Ashford walked in well dressed, surprising everyone present even Amelia. Luca's tailored black suit was glistening and also his steel-cold presence brought fear to others. Everyone turned, mu
CHAPTER 100
Jason sat alone in his car, the engine running, but he had no conviction to even drive, his emotions and ego were bruised by Amelia and he just couldn't take it or deal with it. His hands trembled slightly, his knuckles had turned white around the steering wheel. Amelia's words echoed in his mind like a war drum. “I never loved you. And I never will.” He slammed his palm against the steering wheel with a shout, his face twisted with rage. “No. No, this isn't how it ends.” He took a deep breath and pulled out his phone, he needed to do something about this whole thing. If he had called his father, he would have told him to let go and find someone better and he wasn't about to lose Amelia Thornton to a low mysterious individual. He knew it was time to change strategy from the conversation he had earlier, he knew that he had lost Amelia, but he wouldn't sit idle. He called the one person he always swore he’d never deal with. The man his father warned him about. A figure wh

“What are you saying?” Amelia asked feigning ignorance so as not to be obvious that she was affected by his words. “Look, aunt June has always had it out for me. I know that, even if I don't care about her opinions about me, she is still your mother. Anyways, I am not doing this because of her, but because Uncle Leon trusts me and I know he wants us to be together which I am grateful for. But for your reputation to not be dented, you have to go back home.” “*Sighs* Okay… tell me something, you are about to leave again are you not? Or maybe you have something important that you want to do but you aren't telling me.” Amelia blurted out. Luca smiled and said, “Having a childhood friend as a partner sure has its perks, one can never hide from them… Well, I do have something to do. It will take longer than usual, but I will keep in touch. I promise!” Luca uttered. “Am I ever going to see you again?” Amelia asked with sadness in her eyes, somehow she felt that he was going to do s
CHAPTER 98
Jason Stewart sat in his father’s study, brows furrowed, fingers drumming on the edge of the mahogany desk. His mother Eunice Stewart was seated opposite him sipping a cup of coffee. She has gotten better and wanted to find out more on Amelia Thornton to know what she thinks about his son, surprisingly she had grown to be very beautiful and that alone made her believe that Amelia was perfect for her son. But then she found out that Amelia was not in love with her son, despite her mother's imputes so she wanted someone else for Jason. So Eunice, who had someone tailing Amelia, decided to break the news to him about her disappearance. “She what?” he asked again, voice low but laced with disbelief. “She left the house,” Mrs. Stewart replied, sipping her tea like it was gossip she could barely contain. “Without telling anyone. Drove straight to Luca Ashford’s place. Stayed there for hours. Maybe overnight.” Jason’s jaw clenched so tightly a muscle twitched. “And you let her?” “Sh
CHAPTER 97
“I… I don’t know how to stop fighting anymore,” June admitted, voice barely above a whisper. “Then stop,” Leon said gently. “Let her live. Let us all live. Enough of these battles. The war for status is killing us all.” For a long moment, no one moved. Then Amelia walked toward her mother and reached out slowly. “Mum… I don’t hate you. I just need you to let me go.” June looked at her daughter, eyes rimmed red. “And if he breaks your heart?” “Then I’ll break,” Amelia said. “But it’ll be my break to heal from. Not yours to decide.” The older woman looked at both her husband and daughter. For once, she seemed outnumbered not by force, but by truth. And perhaps, a part of her knew they were right. Still, pride is a difficult cage to walk out of. “I need time,” June murmured, walking away from the window toward the hallway. “I need time to understand all this.” Leon nodded. “Take your time. But don’t use it building more walls.” As she disappeared up the staircase, the tension
CHAPTER 96
Amelia Thornton decided she would go over to Luca's home, it's been a while since they met, he was always busy. What could he be busy doing all this time and why? The Luca she knew had no job or at least he owned a quarry and had travelled for quite a while now, buy yet to return to her besides for days now, June her mother had been pressuring her to go apologize to the Stewart family so they wouldn't be ostracized from the public’s event. ***Two days ago*** “You do realise that Jason loves you right? He was just upset that you turned him down for that nincompoop, so why on earth would you go over to his place for days? Does he even have a decent place to live?” Amelia didn't respond to that, as she was still shocked about Luca's new home. But rather than say anything about it, she said; “You know what mum, I have had enough with Jason Stewart. He has lost all the respect I had for him after putting our family's name like that out in the open! And I know it's because you miss
