The Contract Reminder

Amelia felt a cold shiver run down her spine at Blaze's direct question and his nerve-wracking gaze. She didn't recall letting Pascal or Clay into her aunt's home. So there was no freaking way they would have eavesdropped on her and reported to their boss. Or did her unsecured research on the internet prompt Blaze's hackers? Most probably.

"Amelia, take a deep breath and stay calm. Do not anger the monster any further by arguing with him. He's angry and will lash out at you if given the chance. Just apologize and try to mend things with him before asking him any questions." She inwardly encourages herself. She took in a deep breath and spoke in a composed voice.

"Blaze, I know I stepped out of line by nosing around your family's affairs and for that I'm very sorry." Amelia slowly approached him, putting her handbag away. She observed his stiffened muscles and unwavering dangerous glare following her every move.
