(Amelia and Cassian were really a thing, would the sterling family ever have to stress about money or business connections again?
talf the people at the party were already scheming about how to get on their good side.
isper had been lurking in the corner the whole time, keeping his mouth shut, but he’d watched that entire scene play out.
ow there was this sick feeling twisting in his gut–something he couldn’t quite name, but it felt like pure bullshit.
ke watching someone walk off with his favorite thing.
was really fucking with his head.
aleria caught Jasper’s dark mood and didn’t dare get near him.
at she knew this was all Amelia’s fault.
tat manipulative bitch, wrapping men around her finger left and right.
pparently she was pretty damn good at it too, managing to snag Cassian Rhodes.
it whatever.
issian was probably just having fun with her anyway–no way he was taking it seriously.
e’d just sit back and wait for Amelia to get her heart broken.
the time the party wound down, everyone was deep in their own thoughts.
tarpson looked like he was plotting something–seemed like he needed to start paying more attention to his eldest daughter.
ren though Amelia had said she was done with him, he’d raised her, so she couldn’t just write him off completely, right?
ie next morning, Amelia got up, whipped up breakfast, ate, and drove to work.
he’d picked up a basic Honda a few days back–nothing flashy, totally under the radar, so she could get to work without anyone giving her a second look.
melia figured riding to work with Cassian would be way too risky–if people spotted them together, the office gossip would be absolutely vicious.
e just wanted to do her job quietly and focus on what she loved.
hen Cassian found out about the car, he wasn’t having it. “That thing’s a death trap–terrible safety rating. If you don’t like any of the cars in the garage, we ca
› shopping for something better.”
ut Amelia shut that down fast. The garage was stocked with like fifteen supercars, all limited–edition beasts.
olls–Royce Phantom, Cullinan, Porsche Cayenne, Maserati…
Amelia actually rolled up to work in one of those, she’d be the main topic of conversation before she even made it to the elevator.
eople would probably assume she was some billionaire’s kept woman.
assian didn’t really have a choice but to tell her to be careful out there.
melia headed out pretty quickly.
Cassian smiled to himself–his wife really was nothing like the usual crowd.
Suddenly, his phone started buzzing.
He figured maybe Amelia had run into some trouble, so he grabbed it fast.
But when he saw who was calling, Cassian’s face darkened.

assian listened, then said flatly. “11l have someone pick her up and take her to Rhodes Medical Center.”
Oh my God, thank you so much, Mr. Rhodes,” Jenny said, clearly relieved.
fter hanging up, Cassian stared at his phone for a minute, then decided to head to the hospital himself.
Chen Cassian walked into the medical center, he immediately spotted Sonia’s manager Jenny pacing back and forth in the hallway like a caged animal.
reing Cassian. Jenny practically sprinted over, her face a mix of worry and embarrassment.
Mr. Rhodes, I’m so sorry to drag you into this! Sonia just got done with her scans–doctor says it’s just a minor sprain, nothing major, but she’s pretty motionally rattled.” Jenny said quietly, sounding exhausted.
