84 Undignified Games 

Amelie rushed to her desk, heart pounding as she yanked open the very first drawer. To her disdain, it was completely empty

Noit can’t beHe wouldn’tshe whispered, her heartbeat accelerating in panic. She tore through the remaining drawers, one by one, frantically searching every nook and cranny of her hotel room, but the phone Liam had given her was nowhere to be found

Her mind raced with nervous thoughts once more. FoolsWe never exchanged numbers, and Liam’s number was always marked as private. I will have to meet him in person if I want to talk to him without that phonebut it was so important to him, it was his 

father’s phone‘ 

With Samantha’s employee contract missing, she knew exactly what happened; Richard was in her room while she was visiting Sophie

Determined to get it back, she quickly grabbed her purse and called her driver, instructing him to prepare the car. She needed to go to the mansion immediately

Once she arrived, Amelie, ignoring the greetings of the maids, marched straight to Richard’s office and swung open the door, not even bothering to knock. Her 

sudden entrance surprised him as he spilled the drink he was holding in his hand

What the hell, Amelie? Who barges into someone’s private study like this?!” 

Richard looked up from his desk and took off his ruined jacket, dropping it carelessly on the floor. Just like that part of his outfit, it was easy for him to discard other things as well

Amelie took a careful look around his desk and a large bookshelf behind him. Everything seemed to be exactly as it always had been for years before, only the 

fireplace to her right was on, an oddity considering it was the end of August

What did you take from my room?She demanded, her eyes continuing to scan the office somewhat hopelessly now

Richard stood up slowly, reaching into a drawer and pulling out a few papers. Then, walking towards the fireplace, he asked in a calm tone

Why are you so nervous? I only took what did not really belong to you.He waved the papers in front of his face, and Amelie recognized a copy of the employee contract Anna got from Jason Sanson’s hostess bar. Her guess was correct; her husband went through her things today

Richard tossed the copy of the contract into the fire, the orange flames greedily consuming the documents right away.R 

He then slid his hands into the pockets of his black pants, a grin spreading across his arrogant face. Or was there something else missing? Something that I shouldn’t have seen, perhaps?” 

Amelie frowned, annoyance reaching its peak. He knew pretty well what she was referring to and yet, he still had the nerve to humiliate her like that

Not willing to wait for her reaction, Richard pulled out the phone Liam had given her from one of the pockets, and Amelie felt a wave of dread wash over her. Her insides trembled and her palms were sticky with 

sweat

She didn’t even care if he looked through the phone

what she did care about was that he found some 

twisted pride in that

He liked to be the one pulling all the strings

The man scoffed and examined the phone with a careless gaze before he spoke again

The same phone Samantha had during the benefitthe same phone that turned her into a laughing stock that evening. Did you plan that with Liam Bennett together? Did the two of you have a lot of fun embarrassing her like that? Judging from the contents of your messages, you have become rather chummy with one another. If I didn’t know better, I would assume you were having an affair with him,Richard taunted, his eyes gleaming with malicious amusement

Amelie couldn’t help but let out a mocking chuckle, her voice laced with defiance as she answered. Why do you care whether I am having an affair with him or not? Are you the only one who is allowed to have a lover?” 

Richard stepped forward, his face contorted with anger. I do care who you are getting involved with because you are my wife! You are the face of our

company and our family!” 

Our family?‘ 

Amelie stepped forward too, meeting his gaze with cold determination, her heart was finally getting back to its normal beating speed

Soon, there would no longer be any family. Or rather, there would be a family she would no longer be a part of. And now, his desperate attempts to call for her consideration found no response within her soul

She fixed her sharp eyes on Richard’s and finally replied
