Chapter - 49
The apartment door swung open and Amanda stepped inside, with Rick close on her heels. The scent of familiarity and comfort filled the air, but Amanda couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer.
"Rick, you have to tell me," Amanda began, turning to face him with a raised eyebrow, "You have been avoiding me all the way."
"Where did you get that car from? Did you really buy it?"
"Did you win the lottery or something? Are you secretly the long-lost heir to some billionaire family?"
"C'mon tell me," Amanda urged as she watched Rick close the door behind her. She wanted Rick to come clean to her. But...
The moment the door clicked shut behind them, Rick's demeanor shifted. He pulled Amanda close, his eyes locked onto hers with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine. Without a word, he gently but firmly raised her hands above her head, pinning them against the wall.
