SAVING AMELIA

Kendrick went back with Beryl to join their friends.

Kendrick has Beryl as his best friend, and both of them have two common close friends, Zhaogu and Haitao. They are all CEOs of their respective companies in different industries, and they always have each other's backs.

Kendrick often remains inconspicuous among the group. He places a lower emphasis on socializing, opting instead to spend his time in his office, fully dedicated to developing new projects.

Kendrick, seemingly disinterested in their lively conversation, he holds a glass of wine. He keeps his attention fixed on a girl he recently met. His gaze sweeps around the room, desperately seeking another glimpse of her.

"Hey, Kendrick! Kendrick!" Beryl called his attention. "Yo! Bro, you look lost, man! What are you thinking that you couldn't even hear me?!"

"What is it?"

"I was wondering if you would attend the charity auction tomorrow," Beryl said with a hopeful look in his eyes, his voice filled with excitement. "They will be showcasing an array of beautiful antiques, just like the ones your Grandmother adores collecting, and some truly exquisite jewels."

Kendrick, deep in thought, before promptly replying, "I am not sure. But probably not." His words were tinged with a hint of reluctance as if he was already preoccupied with something else.

"Hey, come on, bro! My sister is really excited to go, and she mentioned that her best friend is interested in checking out the jewelry for the auction," Beryl exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Kendrick's interest was immediately caught, and a sudden rush of excitement surged through him upon hearing about Nerissa's best friend again from Beryl.

"Why are they so interested in it?" Kendrick inquired with genuine curiosity.

"I have heard that Amelia is a talented jewelry designer, though I don't have much information about her work," Beryl said as he rubbed his chin.

"I see," Kendrick replied simply.

"So, can you go with me?"

"Let's meet at the auction," Kendrick responded as he once again looked around.

Kendrick's friends were enjoying their drinks, but Kendrick himself had never been drawn to alcohol.

Kendrick caught sight of Nerissa dancing on the crowded dance floor, but Amelia was nowhere to be seen.

Intrigued, Kendrick made his way through the lively crowd to where he had last seen Amelia, only to find that she was no longer there. Puzzled, Kendrick set off to search for Amelia.

Kendrick glanced around the dimly lit bar, the low hum of conversation and clinking glasses filling the air. As Kendrick made his way through the crowd, he spotted Amelia emerging unsteadily from the restroom, her movements hesitant and uncoordinated. Kendrick's concern spiked when he witnessed a man seizing Amelia's arm and ushering her towards a hallway, Amelia's feeble attempts to break free falling short.

With a surge of adrenaline, Kendrick hurried towards them, his muscles coiling in readiness. In a swift and powerful motion, Kendrick struck the man, freeing Amelia from his grasp and scooping her up protectively in his arms.

He grabbed his phone and called, "Alu, prepare the car now!"

As Kendrick held Amelia in his arms, he noticed that her normally rosy cheeks were now a deep shade of red, and her body felt unnaturally warm, indicating that she had been drugged.

When Kendrick went out, the car was already at the entrance. Alu was dumbfounded when he saw his boss with a woman in his arms.

"What are you waiting for?! Get moving!" Kendrick yelled.

Alu rushed back to the driver's seat.

"Where to, Sir?"

"My nearest house!" Kendrick commanded.

Indeed, Amelia was drugged. She started to encircle her arms around Kendrick and kissed his face and neck, which startled Kendrick.

Kendrick has never been in a relationship before. This moment is his first time holding a woman, and the situation is making him restless.

Alu was even more stunned when he saw his boss struggling with the woman with him. Not knowing what to do, he raised the partition to give his boss privacy.

Kendrick was even petrified when Amelia sat on his lap facing him, with both legs spread across his crotch while trying to unbutton his trousers.

Kendrick tried to hold on to Amelia's hand to stop her. With her hands both in Kendrick's hand, Amelia started to grind on him and kissed him recklessly.

"Amelia, Amelia, stop it."

"I need you. Please." Amelia retorted and continued her pursuit.

"Amelia, no!"

"Pleeease… I need you; I want you!" Amelia begs.

"Amelia, do you know who I am?" Kendrick held both of Amelia's hands and got her attention.

"Of course I know, you are Kendrick," Amelia said with pouty lips, and hearing his name from her lips was too alluring for Kendrick.

Looking directly at Amelia's face, only now Kendrick realizes Amelia is mixed race.

The car stopped, and Kendrick immediately opened the door. He carried Amelia into the house and laid her on his bed.

"I will call the doctor. Stay here." But Amelia won't let go of him, clinging on to him.

"I only need you! I don't need a doctor!" Amelia protested.

"No, Amelia, please."

"Then call the driver. He is handsome! He will help me! Or brother Beryl!" Amelia cried. "They won't say no to me!"

"Amelia!" Hearing her mention other men made Kendrick so mad, and this was his last straw.

"Don't regret this, Amelia!" Kendrick uttured.

Kedrick tugged his tie, removed his coat, and laid Amelia under him.

Amelia wrapped her arms and legs around him, causing him to lose control completely.

Kendrick wrapped Amelia in his arms and started kissing her, which made Amelia move wilder, rush, and recklessly. She unbuttoned Kendrick's clothes and threw her clothes on the floor.

Looking at Amelia's naked body captivated Kendrick.

He wanted to memorize every inch of her; he kissed her lips softly despite Amelia's persistence, moving to her neck and bosom, kissing each one while caressing the other with his hand, down to her navel.

"Please, give it to me now…!" Amelia cried.

Kendrick held Amelia close, his eyes filled with concern as he gazed at her. "Amelia, you're under the influence of drugs. I'm concerned that you might regret this tomorrow."

“No… please… please… Kendrick.”

Amelia initiated to kiss Kendrick hurriedly while arching her body to his.

Kendrick responded to her kisses, finally entering her body. His emotions for Amelia overflowed as he was stunned to learn it was her first time. Kendrick made a solemn vow: 'She is the one I've longed for, and I promise to cherish and protect her for the rest of my life.'
