Chapter 223 - The End Of Amelia

Amelia pursed her lips with tears still in her eyes.

"If you have the heart to kill me, I will reveal everything to the king and queen of Moravia," said Amelia. "I didn't expect this is how you would pay me for helping you and stay loyal to you all this time."

"No, Amelia. This is how I pay you for killing my children," said Ren. "You've crossed the line and I can't let this one pass."

"If you dare to hurt me, everyone will know who you really are," said Amelia. She shook Ren's arm and got up. Her hand pulled a gun from her handbag and she stood up in a threatening manner. "Don't force me to use this gun."

"What do you think you can do?" asked Ren with a sour face. "Do you think if you leave this place, you will be able to escape from me forever? Do you know what I can do to you and the rest of your family?"

Amelia bit her lip frantically. She couldn't imagine that Ren would be so heartless to kill her father and mother, who spent years caring for him and raising him after his mother died. But she knew exactly what Ren or Skia was capable of.

He managed to kidnap Elios Linden's daughter undetected and left no trace for years. Ren could easily do whatever he wanted to the Genevieve family.

"Ren ... please, forgive me. Let my family and I go. I promise not to bother you ever again, and I'll shut my mouth ..." Amelia begged.

Ren was completely unfazed by Amelia's tears. He snorted at the girl's plea. His voice was as cold as ice when he spoke. "When my wife begged you to let her go, to spare our children .. did you grant her request?"

"Ren ... please .... I made a mistake. I was blinded by my jealousy for her," cried Amelia. "You're right ... I was jealous of her because she was pregnant with your child. She would have an unbreakable bond with you forever when that child was born, so I became desperate .... Really, I didn't mean to hurt you. That's the last thing I want to do. I thought you didn't want that child ..."

"I should have complied with Vega's request and kicked you out a long time ago. I was too lenient with you just because of our past relationship. You don't know your place, "said Ren. "You are nothing to me, Amelia."

Ren rose and walked over to Amelia threateningly. The girl stepped back in fear and her hand raised her gun.

"Ren ... please, don't force me to use this gun ..." the girl whispered between her sobs. "I don't want to kill you ... I love you, I can't possibly hurt you ..."

"But Amelia ... you killed half of my soul when you killed my children in cold blood ..." Ren's cold voice turned sad. He kept walking closer and Amelia stepped back again. "If love makes you kill my children and hurt me, I don't want your love."

Amelia was getting cornered. "I will apologize to Fee ... I will make amends ..."

"Will your apology bring our children back to life?" asked Ren coldly.

Amelia shook her head.

"N-no ... but ... but ... you can have another child ..." The girl raised her hand and prepared to pull the trigger. "Please stop approaching and let me go ... Otherwise I will have to shoot you ..."

Ren ignored Amelia's words and kept walking toward the girl, and his steps were getting faster and faster.

"Don't Ren ... Don't come closer. I-I will... Aaaahhh!!!"

A terrified Amelia closed her eyes and spontaneously pulled the trigger. There were two gunshots in the air followed by Amelia's hysterical screams.

And then, it went silent.

Ren pressed his hand on his stomach. It was shot and now bleeding profusely. His face turned pale as blood seeped out of his clothes. The man staggered to the sofa and sat up clutching his wounded stomach.

"John ... call the police now," he said in a weak voice.

John, who arrived on time, was still standing in his place like a statue with his gun pointed straight.

"Yes, Sir," replied John obediently. He immediately put his gun on the table and took out his cell phone to call the police station. Then, he called Almstad International Hospital to send an ambulance.

After he finished calling, the man immediately approached Ren and tried to check his wound.

"I'm fine. I've put medicine in her tea so that her hands tremble when she shot me. This is just a minor wound," said Ren. He turned to Amelia's body lying on the floor with blood pooling on her head. Her face was devoid of any expression. "Your shot is accurate as always."

"Thank you, Sir. I always train," said John.

"Prepare all the camera footage in this room and give it to the police as evidence. They will be able to see that Amelia tried to kill me and you only defended me from her madness."

"Very well, Sir," John nodded obediently.

It wasn't long before an ambulance and the police arrived to deal with the shooting report.

Ren was rushed to the hospital. The doctors immediately removed the bullet from his stomach in a life-saving surgery, while John worked closely with the police to provide chronological information on the events that took place.

"Lady Amelia is Prince Renald's personal secretary, and it seems that Lady Amelia has feelings for the Prince," said John, giving the statement to the first policeman who interviewed him.

"Is Miss Amelia here because Prince Renald invited her?" asked the policeman attentively as he made a few brief notes in his notebook.

"That's right. I think the Master wanted to fire Lady Amelia," said John. "He doesn't want to work closely with her anymore, and I think that makes Lady Amelia angry. She took out her gun and threatened him."

The two policemen who were interrogating John looked at each other. They had heard various gossip about the relationship between Prince Renald and Lady Amelia Genevieve. Even by end of last year, the two were rumored to be engaged, before Prince Renald disappeared.

Now, suddenly new rumors emerged that the prince was already married to another woman who was not Amelia. The two policemen could easily conclude that this was a crime of passion.

They had also studied the various CCTV camera footage in the penthouse and saw when Amelia stepped backward because Ren was confronting her before she frantically shot the prince.

"Looks like Lady Amelia is jealous because Prince Renald is already married to another woman. And she attacked the prince for revenge..." said a policeman.

"Looks like you're right," said his friend. The two policemen were observing Amelia who was still lying on the floor with a large wound on her head. Amelia's beautiful face now looked very scary and almost unrecognizable. She died with one gunshot wound to the back of her head.

"Poor girl," said one officer, shaking his head. "She is still very young, but too obsessed with the prince.. I am sure they are many other men out there who would happy to marry her and spoil her."
