All Chapters of Married to Him, Saved by his Brother: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Lucas' POV The first thing I noticed was the silence that followed my response, instead of the usual little questions she kept asking to keep things less awkward. When I turned to see why she was suddenly quiet, it took every self restraint in my body to stop myself from laughing at her expression. Amelia's face had turned pale from the response I gave her. Someone please tell her I didn't mean that in the way she's thinking. “You look like you’re about to pass out. What did you think I meant by that, Amelia?” I asked and she opened her mouth to answer, only to close it back without saying a word. She was visibly struggling to remain in her seat and I could see it in her face. I turned my head to the side just enough to hide the expression on my face before facing her again. “I didn't mean cutting people open and patching them back closed just for the fun of it.” I told her, and she frowned then, definitely curious now. “Then, what do you mean? It's not like cutting people o

Amelia's POV I wasn't here to prove that I deserved the credit for saving Damian. I was here to prove that Gabriella has nothing to do with saving the day as she's claimed for five whole years. Williams was the one board member I felt might be willing to do the same. But judging by the tension in his posture, he was still completely in the dark. He'd stood up to pay his respect, so I had to gesture for him to sit down while I drew my own chair out. "I have to admit, I was surprised and uncertain when I first got an invitation," William began, leaning slightly forward with a wary look in his eyes. "Out of everyone on that board... Why me, Luna? Why did you choose to reach out to me of all people?" I looked at him calmly, keeping my voice steady. "Because out of everyone in that room, you were the only one who seemed to notice something was off. You don't strike me as someone who lets injustice slide." Williams frowned, searching my face. "Even if that's true... why reach out no

Lucas' POV "I am telling you the truth!" Gabriella snapped, her fake sweetness disappearing as her temper flared. "I don't appreciate your tone, Detective. I am the one woman whom the royal family cherishes most. I will not sit here and listen to you fabricating lies just because my sister is throwing another one of her dramatic tantrums! Do you know what Alpha Damian will do to your career when he finds out you are treating me like this?" But Miller only leaned back in his chair, folding his arms over his chest as he stared at her. "Your pack title doesn't mean you're above the law, Ms. Crosswyn. And you don't even seem to have one. I also don't care even if the Moon goddess herself cherishes you. A woman was locked in an airless room without warning signs. That is a crime, she could have died there. And right now, every single piece of evidence points directly to you." Gabriella glared at him, her chest heaving. I smiled in satisfaction, seeing the slight panic in her eyes. "This

Gabriella's POVI walked out of the interrogation room feeling as though the entire police station had turned against me. Every officer I passed seemed to know exactly what had happened behind those walls, and even if they weren't looking at me, it felt like they were. Detective Miller's voice refused to leave my head: we're officially pressing charges. Those four words chased me all the way through the building until I reached the parking lot. My fingers shook so badly that I nearly dropped my keys before unlocking my car. The moment I climbed inside, I locked the doors, rested my forehead against the steering wheel, and tried to breathe normally.This wasn't how today was supposed to end. I had gone into that room believing I could explain everything away. After all, I had cried and lied before, and watched people believe every word that came out of my mouth. It had always worked. But this time, it didn't. That stupid, overachieving detective had every answer waiting before I coul

Amelia's POVI had left my meeting with Williams feeling like I just had to go home and probably hear about how the interrogation went, but when I got home, no one else was there, so it did nothing to calm my nerves. If anything, the silence made everything worse. I couldn't stop pacing around the living room, walking from one end of the house to the other until I began wearing the same path into the floor. Every few steps, I caught myself biting the edge of my finger before forcing my hand away again. My thoughts kept circling back to whatever was happening at the precinct while I stayed here doing nothing.The only company I had was Kane and Kash. They stood outside the front door exactly where they were always stationed. I opened the door, hoping one of them might have some news for me, but they both simply turned toward me.How do I know their names when I probably never spoke to them before now? I just somehow caught Lucas calling out to Kane a few times when he was the only one
