Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 273

**Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah 273**
**Chapter 273**

Bound by an oath sworn to the Moon Goddess, my hands were tied in more ways than one.

**Amelia’s POV**

As the evening stretched before me like an uncharted path, I found myself grappling with what to do next. It became increasingly clear that the most effective way to express my feelings was to confront Jake directly.

There was a palpable tension simmering between us. I could feel it in the air, thick and suffocating, as my frustration mounted over his constant hovering presence in my life. It wasn’t just me who felt the strain; Sienna was caught in the crossfire, her feelings of neglect igniting a simmering anger towards me. I could sense her resentment, and it gnawed at my conscience.

For what felt like an eternity, I had lived under the impression that Jake genuinely cared for my well-being. But now, doubts began to creep in, casting shadows over my thoughts. The idea of being shackled to Ian, of living a life confined to the margins, felt like a prison sentence I was unwilling to accept.

With a determined breath, I made my way to Jake’s office, my heart racing with each step. I was fortunate to find him still at the estate, engrossed in his work. The glow of the computer screen illuminated his focused expression as he typed away, likely crafting an email. When I knocked lightly on the door, he looked up, surprise flickering across his features.

“Amelia? It’s rather early for you to be here. Is everything alright?”

I hesitated, the urge to withhold the truth clawing at me, but I steeled myself. “I need to talk to you about something important. Is now a good time?”

He glanced back at his screen, but with a few swift clicks, the light faded to darkness. Turning his full attention to me, he said, “I always have time for you. What’s weighing on your mind?”

Encouraged by his welcoming demeanor, I stepped into the room and settled into one of the chairs facing his desk. Jake leaned forward, resting his elbows on the surface, fingers interlaced in front of his mouth, ready to absorb my words.

“I want to work as Dr. Wyatt’s apprentice at the hospital,” I declared, my voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside me. Then, summoning a burst of courage, I added, “I won’t take no for an answer.”

His brows arched slightly in surprise, and I held my breath, hoping my boldness hadn’t pushed him to reject my request outright.
