<b>Chapter </b><b>57 </b>
Landon felt like the ultimate fool. ‘Damn it. She’s been seeing another man while married to me, and even had his child the thought burned through him like acid. His chest heaved with barely contained rage as the reality of her betrayal sank in.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Amelia asked innocently, cing her delicate hand on his chest. He’s breathing so homily hope it’s not a heart- condition, she thought to herself.
“Get your hands off me, Landon roared from his mind,
Amelia flinched and yanked her hand back, startled by his outburst. “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling sick?”
“Well done, Amelia. Well done! Landon red at her, taking deep breaths to control his rage. How could you be so heartless?” he thought. “Taking advantage of someone in a vegetative state who can’t even defend themselves. And here I was, always putting you first.”
“What’s wrong?” Amelia asked,pletely confused. “Are <b>you </b>angry? Are you mad at me?”
Landon let out an internal scoff and turned his head away, closing his eyes.
“Hey, be reasonable here. I already agreed to help you visit your old friend. What more do you want from me?” Amelia furrowed her brows
Landon whipped his head back around, his anger ring. That’spletely different
he should “What do you mean?” Amelia grow even more bewildered. “What nerve did I hit to make him this angry?” she wondered to herself ‘Come on, count himself lucky. Good luck finding another wife as understanding as me
‘Amelia, get out. “Now Landon’s voice was ice cold<b>, </b>each word dripping with venom
The hatred in his voice was so palpable it sent chills down Amelia’s spine. “He’s not joking, she thought, panic rising in her chest. But why? What’s really going on?”
“From this moment on, you are no longer my wife. Get out of here, Landon growled, <b>his </b>words like <b>a </b>death sentence.
Amelia stood frozen<b>, </b>her eyes wide with shock. The candlelight caught her face, throwing dancing shadows across her features as she blinked in disbelief
Even in his rage, Landon couldn’t help but notice how breathtakingshe looked. But he reminded himself that beneath that stunning exterior was a woman who had betrayed him, a woman whose heart was no longer his
“Can’t you <b>hear </b>me<b>? </b>I said get out of Kingsley Vi, Landon roared again.
<b>Amelia</b>, frustrated by his refusal to answer her questions, finally snapped. “Fine,” she retorted, “I’ll get out. I’m leaving right now.” And with that, <b>she </b>grabbed her <b>bag </b>and stormed out of the room
The door <b>mmed </b>shut, leaving Landon alone in the dimly lit room. The silence was so profound that he could hear his own ragged <b>b</b><b>. </b>
A crushing sense of defeat washed over Landon. He had once been at the top of his game, the golden boy who had <b>it </b>all. Now, due to an orchestrated car ident, he had fallen into the gutter. As if dealing with his injuries wasn’t enough, he also had to face his wife’s betrayal.
‘This is too much, Amelia, Too <b>much</b>.” Landon raged internally. But it was pointless. Amelia was already gone, leaving him stranded in a sea of silence. His joys, his sorrows, his anger–no one could <b>hear </b>high now.
Landon grabbed his phone to text Aaron about throwing Amelia out, but his hand suddenly went numb. His fingers twitched uselessly, and the phone slipped from his grasp, hitting the floor with a harp <b>crack</b>.
“Fantastic, Landon thought bitterly, ‘now I can’t even contact anyone! He was practically losing his mind with rage. The emotional rollercoaster of the day <b>had </b><b>pushed </b>him to his limit. The rage <b>kept </b>building <b>until </b>his vision blurred, and then everything went ck as his body finally gave in to exhaustion, <ol><li>1. </li></ol>

Chapter <b>57 </b>
Meanwhile, Amelia hadn’t actually left. She sat alone in the downstairs living room, trying to figure out exactly what she’d done to make Landon as
The house staff brought her fruit and snacks, treating her with their usual warmth and courtesy. Her favorite TV show yed in the background, fring
the quiet space
Amelia pressed her lips together. She truly loved it heie. Everyone was so kind, and she could live with an easy mind without constantly looking over her shoulder. She didn’t have to worry about people plotting against her while she slept. This ce felt more like a real home than Edward vi.
During her time with the Kingsleys, Amelia felt as if the wounds from her past life were finally beginning to heal. Each day here filled her with renewed hope and confidence for the future. The thought of leaving so soon made her heartache.
Yet, Amelia knew her stay wouldn’tst much longer. Given Landon’s temperament, it was only a matter of time before he ordered Aaron to Fick <b>her </b><b>out</b>.
“I’ll miss this ce so much, Amelia thought wistfully. She had arrived with nothing, and she would leave with nothing. Once again, she would be all alone in the world.
“Here’s your progesterone, Mrs. Amelia.” Emma handed Amelia the medication.
Amelia’s heart sank. <b>“</b>Just leave it,” she said quietly.
“Of course” Emma set down the pills and a ss of water and then left the room.
Amelia stared at the progesterone,
her brows furrowed. Ever since she’d handed over that pregnancy test, Gloria had insisted on a nightly dose.
Amelia couldn’t actually take it. Every night, she’d have it brought to her bedroom and then discreetly dispose of it in the bathroom. “What am I going to do tonight?” she wondered. “I can’t exactly go back to the bedroom. Can i really take this to bathroom without looking suspicious?”
After a moment’s thought, Amelia picked up her phone and texted Landon (Since I’m leaving anyway, I guess there’s no need to keep up the fake pregnancy act anymore?]
But there was no response. Amelia waited a while before sending another message: Mr. Kingsley, just say the word, and it’ll be out of here faster: But Landon still remained silent
‘He’s not saying anything, which means <b>he’s </b>fine with it, Amelia thought to herself. Perfect. Time to drop this act
With a heavy heart, Amelia took onest look at the ce that had been her home since her rebirth. She stepped into the night, leaving behind everything she knew.
The trees lining the suburban streets whispered in the wind, their shadows dancing on the ground beneath the streetlights
Moths darted around the streetlights overhead, making Amelia think of her own desperate attempts to hold onto a life that was slipning away.
Though spring was fading into summer in Norava, and April nights were typically mild, Amelia felt a deep chill settle into her bones, Landon had been right–now that she was no longer his wife, she was nothing. She had no home, no car, no family to lean on.
Apart from her personal belongings, Amelia only had a few thousand dors left over from her time as a member of the Edwards family.
Suddenly, her <b>eyes </b>lit up. ‘Wail.. Money: Amelia thought. There was money in her ount–a whole 100 million dors, to be exact.
That massive sum had <b>been </b>transferred from Kingsley Group, originally intended for Edwards Group acquisition, Landon hadter dismissed it as <b>“</b><b>pocket </b>money” for her.
‘Wait… Should I return this money to him?” Amelia wondered, her heart racing with possibility as she checked her phone.
The screen showed nothing–no messages<b>, </b>no missed calls. Landon hadn’t mentioned the money, nor had he sent Aaron to handle the transfer, ‘Perfect.
–she thought with a smug smil
I
Amelia believed that to someone like Landon, a hundred million dors was probably pocket change. But for Amelia, this waspletely differe them, she could finally start living the haurious life she’d always dreamed of
Amelia’s spirits soared with each step as she walked, her feet practically dancing across the ground. Once she left the gatedmunity to Norava’s most luxurious hotel
Amelia treated herself to fine wine, coffee, and grilled delicacies. Later, she lounged in the bathtub, gauing through floor to ceiling windows glittering nightscape spread out below. For Amelia, it was a perfect evening of indulgence.
Little did she know that her disappearance had thrown the Kingsley family intoplete chaos
“What? Amy
didn’te home all night?” Gloria’s shriek only darkened Landon’s already gloomy expression, Damn it; he thought, the mally in
“Mom… Landon tried to speak, but his voice failed himpletely
While repeatedly trying to call Amelia, Gloria fired questions at him in rapid session. “Did you two have a fight? Do <b>you </b>know where she gone? Why is her phone turned off?”
