Chapter 40-2

"Oh goodness! Amelia, you’re finally back." Clara yelled my name as she ran into my embrace and I widened my eyes in shock as I didn’t understand what the hell was going on.

"What’s wrong?" I questioned,

"I just needed a girl because spending time with him is such a boring disaster."

Clara responded and I ended up chuckling,

My smile died down when Dexter stepped into the house,

"I have no Alpha duty at the moment, do you mind if I stay for a few days?" Tyson questioned, but before Clara could respond, we all heard Dexter’s voice,

"Do you have to ask? You’re free to stay for as long as you want."

Clara instantly darted her gaze at Dexter, "What!"

"He’s just like family, Clara, I’m sure no one has a problem with that." Dexter uttered and Clara groaned at him in anger,

"Alright, stay as much as you want, Tyson. Let’s see how long you can keep this up." She uttered and grabbed my arm,

"You have some Alpha duties, Dexter, I’m sure Tyson can help with one or two. Amelia and I would love to continue from where we stopped before you interrupted" Clara uttered and we began to head back upstairs.

As soon as we got to her room, she shut the door and took me to the bed,

"Thank goodness he’s out of my hair. I feel like I can breathe now," I heard her say, rolling her eyes before a knock was rasped on the door,

"I’ll get it." I uttered and rose to my feet. As I opened the door, the maid who had earlier carried my box stood outside,

"Thank you." I uttered and collected the box, shutting the door afterwards,

"What’s that?" Clara questioned,

"They’re from Dexter." I responded but she widened her eyes and chuckled, "Are you kidding me? My brother would prepare a gift? It’s a joke right?"

I shook my head in response, and I watched a smile stretch out on Clara’s lips. I could instantly guess what was on her mind. Although I had not told Clara that I was only in a contract marriage with Dexter, she knew him really well. She knew Dexter was incapable of doing something like this for me,

"Don’t you think you’re slowly warming your way to his heart? If you ask me, I’ll say he’s starting to like you Amelia." Clara uttered and I ended up bursting into laughter,

Once I was done laughing, I rubbed the tears that had settled at the base of my lashes,

"I promise you, it’s certainly not what you think, Clara." I uttered, but again she smirked at me. The seriousness on her face gave me a little shiver as I really did not want to believe what she had just said,

Dexter, like me? That was impossible. As long as Scarlett was in the picture, I certainly did not stand a chance,

"Do you want us to replace out?" She muttered and I arched my brows in confusion,

My heart kept pounding in my chest as I stared at her and no matter how much I desperately wanted to decline this, I just couldn’t,

I clamped my lips, hating myself for what I was going to s

ay next, but I still did,

"We’ll try just once. How are we going to do that..."
