"Oh, stop saying that," Courtney murmured in embarrassment. She placed her hand on Amelia's shoulder and said, "When Kent and I first started dating, I never left his side for even a minute. But now that we're back together, I want to spend more time with you."
Amelia couldn't help but laugh when she heard Courtney's reply. "Well, that's great to hear! Thank you."
Courtney had looked happier and livelier since her reconciliation with Kent. She would spend her free time chatting him up on the phone and the couple easily passed hours this way.
"You said Kent is bringing us some food?" Amelia asked, an idea coming over to her.
Courtney thought she must be hungry. She stood up and said, "He's supposed to be here by now. I'll go out and take a look."
'If Kent could easily come inside and out of the villa, I can find a way out then, ' thought Amelia.
She followed Courtney to the gate and saw Kent arriving. He stepped out of his car carrying a huge bag of food.
"Why are you so late?" Courtney asked annoyed. The spoiled and snappy girlfriend in her was showing.
"I got stuck in traffic. Are you hungry? You must be starving," Kent said with a worried expression on his face. He looked at her like there was no one else in the whole world.
"It's not about me. It doesn't matter whether I'm hungry or not, but I can't let my godchild starve. Come in!" Courtney replied. She took the bag of food to free his hands.
It was only then when Kent noticed Amelia who had been standing behind Courtney. Awkwardly, he smiled and apologized, "Sorry, Amelia. It's rush hour. Traffic was terrible."
Kent looked like his former s

For Shelly, nothing Amelia could say would make any difference.
"Lucian thought that he was keeping the love of his life safe in his house, but someone just had to go for a drive, isn't that right? It's destiny that brought us here. God wants me to get rid of you, you bitch!" Shelly raged.
But Amelia kept struggling. The ropes were cutting into her skin but she didn't feel any pain. She only thought about her baby.
Feeling that it was impossible to break her hands free, Amelia tried to move her legs. Reading her intentions, Shelly kicked her legs. Amelia winced in pain.
"There's no point in struggling. You will die today." Shelly had specifically chosen the abandoned garage for this plan. She knew that it was so far and secluded that she could do as she pleased without disturbance.
"Do you really think that killing me would solve all of your problems?" Amelia asked. Hot tears were streaming down her cheeks. She couldn't believe that Shelly could actually threaten her life.
Shelly was wearing a pastel pink dress, which made her look like a princess from afar. But a closer look at her eyes would show that she had gone mad with jealousy and hate.
"I have nothing to lose now. I don't care about anything," Shelly casually said, shrugging her shoulders.
Amelia found her sympathy for Shelly. Looking at her, she said sincerely, "I'm a woman, too! I understand your pain. It's never wrong to love someone, but if that person doesn't love us back, why should we take it against ourselves? Why should we let love ruin us?"
"Save it. Your words won't have any effect on me," Shelly said coldly.
