291 The Unfortunate 1 (2/2)
”Are you really intent on being with me? Even if I say even you, and those with the most minute relationship with me, might die anytime soon?”
…
Every day that Amelia passed hearing that her hated half-sister, Alessa, and rival in power and influence, Sofony Silver, were still alive and kicking, hatred kept brewing in her heart. The discomfort and pain was there. The humiliation never left her skin, especially as she could never forget the dirty deeds she committed with Gu Yimu after the latter forced herself on him.
She always waited for results to come while feeling the searing agony in her heart. Bits and pieces of images popped up in her head from time to time.
'When will those two die?' It had become a question most frequently repeated in her head.
Unfortunately, the news she was waiting never arrived. She also never heard from Gu Yimu, that pervert that she also hated and daily cursing to die.
To not be so downhearted by the recent turn of events that were all not so favorable to her, she chose to devote most of her time in troubling Starlight's artists. Of course, she was also cleaning up her own and recruiting new talents and employees to recover from the calamity that had befallen the company last time.
Well, while those troubles seemed big and crippling to others, in reality, the Morgans' foundation could not be easily shaken like that. Manpower was easy to replace since they have money, and deals, shows, projects were not going anywhere far because her family's influence was extensive. Their foundation was robust enough to not easily sway their partners' trust in them. After all, Amelia's entertainment company was just one of the many enterprises and businesses owned by the Morgans.
Getting things back in the track had not been difficult for her since she was also very capable as a leader and a businesswoman.
Maybe if there was something that she found so difficult to bring back, it could only be her normal behavior when in Marc Boldwin's presence.
The woman was quite a weird type. She perfectly knew her fiancé was not the kind to control the thing in his pants, yet she was still very conscious of presenting the best and pure her to him in their future wedding. Even though the other was a womanizer who had long lost every bit of innocence in his soul and body, starting on the day she got bedded by the C-Empire elite, she felt guilty, a part of her dictating she was now unworthy of him.
Perhaps, Amelia really had something for the guy to act like this. Behind her tough, cold, strict, and utilitarian exterior lies a traditional faithful lover waiting for her betrothed to realize her worth and become loyal to her too.
It was probably the reason why she suddenly urged her family to talk about the marriage between them, catching all the Morgan family members off-guard. In fact, the news also reached the Boldwins even before the Morgans could put finish discussing this to themselves, and they too were very surprised.
While these people were having all sorts of opinions and guesses about the matter, Amelia was anxiously waiting for a decision to be passed. Both for business and personal reasons, she badly wanted to proceed with the union between them. Of course, the major part was due to her selfishness and fears.
But could a guy who had been too loose for a long period of time and obsessed with competing with Gio easily agree to suddenly commit to a woman, even if that person had been his fiancée for years already?
And even if he did, would his heart really settle for her?
Well, albeit a bit surprising, Marc Boldwin did accept the proposal, agreeing to marry Amelia in three months. However, he had been too half-hearted about the subsequent matters and preparations.
”A wedding won't deter me from my current modus,” in a party he attended with his friends, the famed bachelor laughingly popped champagne and poured himself a glass of it.
”You mean, your resume of competition against Gio Albarez upon his return?” interjected a flirty girl who knew some bits of knowledge of his beef with the other young tycoon.
Marc hugged the slim waist of the woman and playfully landed a kiss on her luscious lips, ”Babe, I like how witty you are to get my meaning almost so immediately.”
Pleasant laughter reverberated after. The man took a mouthful of his drink and stared outside the transparent glass wall of the bar. Looking into the distance, in the direction where Starlight's main building was located, a corner of his lips rose up.
'Since Gio is back, my interest in stealing Sofony Silver from him also returned. Wouldn't it more fun now since she has become his fiancée?'
Unaware that his own fiancée was near the breaking point due to the most recent turn of events, the man who also didn't know that his target was not even in this world anymore laughed too.
