CHAPTER FOURTY TWOIt was the weekend and with nothing to do, Amelia decided to sleep in and then when she was tired of sleeping, she ordered take outs, closed the curtains of her home so it gave a dark room effect and decided to watch her favorite Bridgerton show on Neflix.She was sniffling tears at the conversation between the viscount, Anthony and lady Kate when her doorbell rang, interrupting her otherwise uneventful day.She was not expecting anyone and did not like her movie interrupted.The sharp jingle of the door bell again annoyed her even more“Coming” she snapped, rousing from where she sat to get it“Sophia!” she gasped, her eyes surveying the woman.“Surprise?” Sophia smiled, her eyes taking in her appearance.She had come against her friend’s warning because she had been curious as to why Amelia of all people.Since her conversation with Jackson where he had all but run her out of his home, she had been curious to know exactly what he saw in Amelia that would make him

CHAPTER FOURTY FOUR“Don’t talk to me like that, Jackson especially not in front of your father” his mother said sweetly.“I can talk to you anyhow I deem fit, mother” he drawled“Jackson, don’t” his father called outJackson decided not to say anything more; he should not have even allowed his mother to goad him into talking seeing as he had ignored her for the last years.When his father was sure that there wasn’t going to any more altercation between them, he said“I have called you all here to talk about my will because I do not want some sort of contest when it is all over” his father began, he was staring pointedly at Jackson’s motherJackson’s face cracked up with a smile at thisHe knew that his father wasn’t dumb and he knew exactly why his wife that had left him and two sons for how many years was back into his life and trying to worm her way into their money.She had probably gone broke, he thought to himself.That wasn’t far fetched because of her real lavish lifestyle and

CHAPTER FOURTY SIXEthan peered out of the airplane window, his heart pounding in his chest as he stared at the clear sky. He was on his way to Chicago, and you guessed it right? The very same city where Amelia resided. He is amazed at the sight of the city laid sprawled beneath him and his mind was a jumble of emotions. He had thought about embarking on this trip since the last he and Amelia spoke and she had told him never to contact her again; the very same time he had heard the voice of her boss in the background.He had no idea how she was going to react to the sight of him in her city but he was damned if he was going to allow her make a mistake by falling for her boss. He did not want to admit of course that he had made a mistake and he should have taken the man’s advice when it was offered.He had acquired Amelia's home address from her mother who was in full support of his decision and who had encouraged him to pursue their relationship once more despite his marital status be

CHAPTER FOURTY EIGHTAmelia woke up with an excruciating headache, one she wasn’t sure she was going to survive from.Her groan echoed in the brightly lit room as she tried to get up, yelping when another stab of pain invaded her head.Her eyes fluttered open, but she immediately regretted it as a throbbing pain reverberated through her skull.

CHAPTER FIFTYThe breakfast had gone well and they were back at Jackson’s home.Amelia could notice the shift between them, they looked quite comfortable with each other and she could think that it was because of them sharing a meal and maybe what she had said.She could feel the renewed purpose in Jackson and was happy she could help him because there was something about him.She had agreed to go with him to see his father but first she had to stop at her house and dress appropriately for the occasion.How did one meet the father of her boss? Who was her friend and maybe she had a crush on?There was no answer to that of course so she wasn’t sure she knew exactly what to wear, except it could not be too revealing. She wanted the man to have a good first impression of her.Amelia turned to Jackson, her voice filled with a hint of hesitation."Jackson, I need to stop by my house quickly before we head over to see your father. There are a few things I need to grab and I definitely have
