"There won’t be a next time, Damien," she whispered to herself, gathering the supplements and walking towards the villa alone.
Her parents had been waiting by the door.
After the usual greetings, her mother hesitated.
"Did Damien go to park the car?"
"He went to find his sister," Amelia answered, her voice calm despite the chaos she felt inside.
Her mother’s brow furrowed.
"That girl ... is already … ?"
"Yes, she’s no longer a member of the Charleston Family," Amelia said simply, telling her the truth about the marriage agreement.
The mention of Victoria caused her father to explode with anger. He fainted on the spot.
Amelia’s heart raced as she dialed Damien’s number. Her husband couldn’t have gone far and getting him to the hospital would be faster than waiting for an ambulance.
Beep … beep … ! The phone rang, but no one answered. Frustration boiled in her chest. Ameia then helped her father up and drove him to the hospital herself. Thankfully, her father was fine.
While waiting for the test results, Amelia scrolled through her phone and stumbled across a new post from Victoria.
