Crowned by the Man They Feared (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 374

**Chapter 374: Shadows of Their Past**

The truth of what transpired remained forever shrouded in mystery, buried beneath layers of time and silence. No one could unearth the reality that lay hidden, and perhaps that was for the best.

“My dad was taken away,” Jeremy spoke softly, his voice barely above a whisper, as if the weight of his words could summon the shadows of his past. “He was a rare kind of genius—one of those extraordinary individuals who excelled in every single domain he ventured into. People like him come around only once every few centuries.”

His gaze drifted off into the distance, lost in memories that felt as tangible as the air he breathed. “To this day, I still haven’t discovered where he is. I don’t even know if he’s alive or… well, if he’s gone forever.”

The burden of his words hung heavily in the air, a palpable sadness that he could not hide, no matter how hard he tried to maintain a façade of strength.

For centuries, the Currans had been a lineage of nobility and power, yet they had never truly reigned at the pinnacle of society.

That all changed when Jeremy’s father assumed control. Under his visionary leadership, the Currans soared to heights previously unimaginable.

They didn’t merely become the wealthiest and most influential family in their nation; they catapulted themselves into the upper echelons of global wealth, joining the ranks of the top three richest families in the world—a feat that most would deem impossible.

“You must be one of their targets too,” Amelia remarked, her voice steady yet laced with concern. “You inherited your father’s brilliance to perfection.”

Indeed, Jeremy was not only the bearer of remarkable genes and extraordinary talents, but his accomplishments had even eclipsed those of his father.

“Yes,” he confessed, a hint of resignation creeping into his tone. “They’ve come after me in the shadows more times than I can count. But each time, I’ve managed to turn the tables on them. Recently, however, they’ve been unnervingly quiet.”

“Still,” he continued, a furrow forming on his brow, “after all this time, I haven’t been able to uncover the true identities of these shadowy figures.”

Initially, Jeremy had been oblivious to their intentions, unaware that they were stalking him with the aim of abduction. But once the truth dawned upon him, he became resolute, determined to hunt them down and expose their sinister motives.

Unfortunately, his adversaries were far too clever, slipping through his grasp like smoke.

As he finished his thoughts, Jeremy’s eyes flicked toward the young woman seated across from him.

Her beauty was striking, but it was the depth of her expression that captivated him. She seemed lost in contemplation, her mind racing through the implications of their discussion.

A sudden realization struck him with force: if Amelia possessed such insight into their machinations, could it be that she had also become a target of their insidious plans?

Given her exceptional abilities and potential, those people would undoubtedly see her as a prime candidate for their nefarious experiments.

“Yes,” she replied with an unsettling calmness. “They once regarded me as prey. I suspect they still do.”

Yet capturing her would not be a simple task.

Years prior, after Regina had framed her, Amelia found herself cast out from her family, a victim of circumstance. It was during this vulnerable time that those enigmatic figures seized the opportunity to abduct her, whisking her away to a desolate island.

Those days had been nothing short of a waking nightmare.
