Grandma Mary the respected chairman of the Johnson family Empire had been away for 3 months during that time she had thought deeply about her grandson Tom Johnson who was set to take over as the head of the family's prestigious Law Firm Tom known for his intelligence and charm was also famous for staying out of the public eye few people had seen his face which made him a mystery even within the company at the firm the staff was buzzing with excitement Whispers and Giggles filled the air as the workers speculated about tomk arrival he's so handsome
I heard said one Junior lawyer her voice barely above a whisper and Rich added another her eyes sparkling can you imagine being the one to catch his attention he's the most eligible bachelor around despite the excitement no one had any idea that Tom would soon be among them in Disguise meanwhile Grandma Mary had her own plan instead of of making a grand entrance as the chairman she decided to go undercover as an old cleaner she wanted to see how things worked in the company when no one knew her real identity she also had a secret
mission to find a wife for Tom someone who would love him for who he truly was not his status or wealth dressed in plain clothes and wearing an old watch that looked like a cheap knockoff Grandma Mary entered the law firm most people ignored her but a group of female employees quickly took notice who let her in one of them sneered glaring at Grandma Mary she's wearing that fake watch trying to look rich another added rolling her eyes they laughed and pointed at her making rude comments loud enough for others to hear Grandma Mary stayed
quiet at first observing them with sharp eyes but when one of the women stepped closer and accused her of wanting to belong to the upper class the situation escalated it's just an old watch Grandma Mary said calmly why does it matter to you her response didn't sit well with them one of the women shoved her slightly and Grandma Mary stumbled backward nearly losing her balance before things could get worse a voice cut through the commotion enough Amelia a young beautiful lawyer with sharp features stepped forward her presence immediately silenced the room what are you doing
Amelia asked the group firmly Crossing her arms she's just doing her job don't you have better things to do than bully someone the group of women exchanged awkward glances but didn't back down entirely one of them sneered at Amelia her tone dripping with mockery look who's talking she said aren't you the one who got dumped for being too nosy no wonder you're single Amelia's jaw tightened but she didn't fault her I wasn't dumped she replied coolly I left him I don't want to cheat for a boyfriend and I certainly don't tolerate Liars it's called self-respect
you should try it sometime her words stung and the group of women muttered grudgingly among themselves one by one they walked away clearly irritated but unwilling to continue the confrontation Amelia turned to Grandma Mary her expression softening are you all right she asked gently Grandma Mary nodded giving Amelia a small smile thank you dear I appreciate it it's nothing Amelia said with a shrug just let me know if anyone bothers you again as Amelia walked away Grandma Mary's eyes followed her a small knowing smile played on her lips shek got a good heart Grandma Mary
murmured to herself this one's special the office had quieted down after the earlier commotion and Grandma Mary decided it was the perfect time to approach Amelia she found her sitting at her desk focused on a stack of papers clearing her throat softly Grandma Mary spoke up excuse me dear can I have a moment of your time Amelia looked up and smiled warmly recognizing the older woman she had helped earlier of course ma'am how can I help you Grandma Mary sat down across from Amelia her sharp eyes glinting with curiosity I couldn't help but overhear your
colleagues earlier she began it seems you're single would you mind marrying my grandson Amelia blinked surprised by the unexpected question she laughed politely not sure if Grandma Mary was serious that's very kind of you to suggest but I'm not looking for love right now I've had my fair share of heartbreak and I think I'm better off focusing on my career Grandma Mary tilted over her head heartbreak you're much too young to have gone through so much pain Amelia hesitated for a moment then sighed a lot of men have let me down my most recent boyfriend
who was also a colleague here cheated on me and not just anywhere he did it right here in the office I caught him red-handed it was humiliating Grandma Mary's eyes narrowed her voice firm you're right to be cautious but I can assure you my grandson is nothing like that he lost both his parents in a car accident when he was very young I raised him myself and he's grown up to be a fine young man with a kind heart he would never betray someone like that Amelia gave Grandma Mary a soft smile not wanting to
offend her that's very sweet of you to say I'll think about it she said jokingly trying to brush off the seriousness of the conversation just then the door to the office opened and a young man walked in Amelia's attention was immediately drawn to him he had strikingly handsome features sharp cheekbones kind eyes and a confident yet humble demeanor he was dressed in simple clothes yet he carried himself with an air of quiet Elegance grandma the young man said his voice warm and familiar as he approached Grandma Mary smiled fondly Tommy there you are come here
dear Amelia froze for a moment grandma was this the grandson she had just been asked to consider this is Tommy Grandma Mary said introducing him with pride he's a new intern here at the firm Tommy smiled at Amelia extending his hand hi I'm Tommy it's nice to meet you Amelia shook his hand her cheeks tinged with a slight blush I'm Amelia welcome to the firm Tommy's smile widened thank you I've heard this is a great place to learn so I'm excited to get started Grandma Mary watched the interaction with a satisfied smile her mind already
woring with plans as Amelia returned to her work she couldn't help but steal glances at Tommy wondering how such a seemingly humble and polite young man could possibly be related to the woman who had just offered her an unusual proposal Tommy's first day as an intern was off to a Simple Start under his disguise he Blended in seamlessly with the other employees his laid-back demeanor making him approachable to everyone except a few who looked down on his supposed low rank through Grandma Mary's subtle intervention Tommy was assigned to work closely with Amelia on a case
the project involved drafting legal Arguments for a high-profile client Amelia being one of the firm's brightest lawyers was put in charge while Tommy's role as an intern was to assist her as the two began working together Amelia was pleasantly surprised by Tommy's intelligence and quick grasp of legal principles his insights were sharp and to the point making her wonder if he really was just an intern you're surprisingly good at this Amelia said giving him an approving look Tommy chuckled I guess I've read a lot of legal books in my spare time I like learning from
people who are passionate about what they do like you Amelia blushed lightly but smiled thanks that means a lot meanwhile Grandma Mary kept a watchful eye from a distance she had positioned herself where she could occasionally overhear their conversations while pretending to clean every time Amelia smiled or laughed at something Tommy said Grandma Mary's heart swelled with pride they're starting to get along she muttered to herself giving a Sly Smile as she pushed her cleaning cart away later that day Amelia's phone buzzed as she wrapped up some paperwork it was a call from her mother
she hesitated but answered with a cheerful tone hi Mom Amelia greeted trying to sound casual Amelia when are you bringing your boyfriend home you promis to introduce me to your future husband soon her mother said enthusiastically Amelia's stomach churned she had no boyfriend to introduce and the pressure was mounting not wanting to disappoint her mother she replied nervously soon mom you'll meet him soon I promise her mother sighed with delight good you're not getting any younger sweetheart I just want to see you happy of course mom Amelia replied forcing a laugh I have to get
back to work now okay dear Amelia hung up and exhaled deeply what am I going to do she thought the last thing she wanted was to lie to her mother but the idea of explaining her single status felt unbearable while Amelia was lost in her thoughts the rest of the office was a buzz with excitement news had spread that Tom Johnson The elusive and Brilliant heir to the Johnson family fortune would soon be arriving to officially take over the firm do you think he'll let us join his team one lawyer asked another of course not
Lucy a sassy and ambitious employee scoffed he's only going to pick the best of the best and let be be honest most of you don't stand a chance Lucy's confidence came from her own Ambitions to work directly under Tom Johnson she knew his reputation as a record-breaking lawyer who had never lost a case and was on track to become the youngest senior Advocate SN in the country she was determined to impress him at any cost spotting Amelia walking back to her desk Lucy smirked well if it isn't the queen of mediocrity she said loudly enough
for others to hear don't even think about trying to join Mr Johnson's team he would never pick someone like you a low class lawyer from a no-name university Amelia stopped in her tracks her heart sinking that's enough Lucy she said quietly oh Am I Wrong Lucy continued mockingly everyone here knows you're not in his League why don't you just stick to minor cases and leave the big leagues to those of us who are actually qualified before Amelia could respond Tommy stood up from his desk that's enough he said firmly stepping between Lucy and Amelia Lucy
raised an eyebrow sizing him up and who do you think you are intern do you even have the right to speak to me like that I might be just an intern but I know that respect and kindness go along way Tommy replied calmly Amelia is a fantastic lawyer who works harder than anyone here if Mr Johnson values Talent I'm sure he'd recognize that in her before anyone else Lucy laughed bitterly you're defending her that's cute but you're as low on the totem pole as she is don't get in my way intern Tommy didn't back down
maybe I'm low on the totem pole but I know the kind of people who succeed are those who lift others up not tear them down Lucy rolled her eyes and walked away muttering under her breath Amelia who had been watching The Exchange was deeply touched by Tommy's defense she looked at him with new admiration thank you she said softly Tommy Shrugged his warm smile returning I just don't like seeing good people treated unfairly Amelia couldn't help but smile back her heart fluttered slightly and for the first time in a long while she found herself wondering
if someone could truly be different from the men who had hurt her before he is not rich but he is kind over the next few weeks Tommy and Amelia grew closer they worked seamlessly together on cases often staying late in the office their shared laughter and easy conversation soon blossomed into something more Tommy in his humble and Charming way asked Amelia out on a proper date and she hesitated only for a moment before agreeing as their relationship deepened Lucy grew increasingly bitter her jealousy festered and she began plotting ways to sabotage Amelia Lucy's chance came
when she overheard Amelia talking to Tommy about their budding Romance determined to ruin it Lucy devised a plan one day Lucy orchestrated a situation to embarrass Amelia and Tommy she tampered with documents that Amelia and Tommy were supposed to present to a client hoping the mistake would paint them as incompetent however her plan backfired when Tommy quickly noticed the error and corrected it just in time Lucy's frustration boiled over but she refused to give up you're lucky this time she sneered at Amelia but don't think I won't catch you you slipping up again Tommy's patience
had worn thin he couldn't bear to see Amelia endure constant bullying he decided it was time to reveal the truth about who he was standing in the middle of the office Tommy addressed the room everyone listen up he began his voice was steady but firm I'm not just an intern my real name is Tom Johnson and I've been working here undercover to understand how things run at this firm the room fell silent then laughter erupted led by Lucy you Tom Johnson Lucy said between Chuckles that's the funniest thing I've heard all year do you think
we're stupid enough to believe that even Amelia looked stunned she pulled Tommy aside and whispered urgently Tommy are you trying to get yourself into serious trouble you could be sued for impersonating Mr Johnson please stop before this gets worse Tommy looked at her his eyes filled with a mix of frustration and hurt Amelia I'm telling the truth I am Tom Johnson Amelia shook her head if the real Mr Johnson finds out he could ruin your life please Tommy drop this before it's too late the situation worsened when Amelia's ex-boyfriend Mark who still worked at the
firm decided to chime in he had overheard the commotion and couldn't resist mocking Amelia wow Amelia you really know how to pick them Mark said smirking a poor intern pretending to be Tom Johnson that's a new low even for you Tommy's jaw clenched but he remained calm Mark you can insult me all you want but leave Amelia out of this oh look at you mark retorted trying to play the hero You're Just a Nobody a fake lawyer a fake Johnson what's next Tommy straightened his posture his eyes cold Mark you've crossed the line not only
have you insulted me but you've also been spring lies about Amelia that's defamation and you could be sued for it Mark scoffed sue me with what money you can barely afford lunch get real before Mark could continue the HR manager arrived with security guards Mark you've been terminated effective immediately she announced what Mark's smug expression vanished you've been warned multiple times about your behavior and this is is the final straw the HR manager said please gather your things and leave Mark turned to Tommy and Amelia his face red with Fury this isn't over he spat
before being escorted out of the building Amelia shaken by the events pulled Tommy aside again Tommy this is getting out of hand what if Mark tells the real Mr Johnson that you're pretending to be him you could lose everything Tommy sighed his frustration evident Amelia I promise you I'm not pretending I am Tom Johnson Amelia bit her lip torn between disbelief and worry I don't know how to help you but when Mr Johnson finally gets here I'll talk to him I'll explain everything and try to stop him from suing you Tommy nodded appreciating her concern
and understanding why she didn't believe him that evening Tommy made a call to his trusted secretary James James I need you to come to the firm tomorrow and pretend to be me act like the real Tom Johnson I need to see how everyone reacts when they think they're meeting the CEO James chuckled on the other end of the line This is an unusual request sir but I'll do it I'll be their first thing in the morning Tommy hung up the phone determined to resolve the chaos and finally reveal his true identity once and for all
the office was a buzz the next morning as word spread that Tom Johnson The elusive CEO and legal Prodigy would finally be making his Grand appearance everyone dressed their best determined to impress him at exactly 9:00 a.m. James walked into the building exuding confidence dressed in a sharp suit and carrying an air of authority he introduced himself as Tom Johnson the staff was immediately in awe and Lucy in particular went out of her way to fa over him Mr Johnson Lucy gushed flashing her brightest smile it's such an honor to meet you I've admired your
work for years James played along nodding politely thank you I'm looking forward to working with all of you Tommy meanwhile observed everything from a corner of the office pretending to be busy with some files he smirked as he watched Lucy's sycophantic Behavior and the nervous energy of the staff Amelia however stayed focused on her work her usual Grace and professionalism standing out Tommy couldn't help but admire her meanwhile Grandma Mary still pretend ending to be a humble cleaner watched the unfolding drama with Amusement but her focus wasn't on James or Lucy it was on Amelia
she had already made up her mind that Amelia was perfect for Tommy she decided it was time to intervene later that afternoon Grandma Mary approached Amelia looking pale and frail she clutched her chest dramatically and let out a shaky sigh are you okay Amelia asked rushing to her side I'm fine dear Grandma Mary replied weakly it's just my heart's not what it used to be I don't think I have much time left Amelia's eyes widened in concern don't say that have you seen a doctor Grandma Mary shook her head what I need can't be fixed
by a doctor my only wish before I leave this world is to see my grandson married to a good woman someone kind and strong Someone Like You Amelia's heart skipped a beat me but Grandma Mary gently squeezed her hand I know it's sudden but Tommy cares for you deeply and I can see you care for him too you two would make each other so happy please think about it that evening Amelia sat in her apartment mulling over Grandma Mary's words she couldn't deny that she had feelings for Tommy he was kind supportive and had stood
by her during her toughest moments even though he wasn't wealthy he made her feel valued in a way no one else ever had her phone buzzed and she saw a text from her mom when are you bringing your fianceé home I can't wait to meet him Amelia side her mother's constant pressure to settle down added to her growing uncertainty marrying Tommy would solve everything she loved him and he loved her why not take a leap of faith Tommy unaware of Grandma Mary scheme was also thinking about Amelia he had fallen for her completely but worried
about revealing his true identity which she feel betrayed would she see him differently his thoughts were interrupted by a text from Grandma Mary come see me it's urgent when Tommy arrived at Grandma Mary's apartment she was lying on the couch looking unusually pale grandma what's going on Tommy asked panic in his voice Grandma Mary sighed dramatically Tommy I'm not well I've been thinking you and Amelia should get married she's perfect for you and I know you feel the same way about her Tommy blinked married grandma that's she already agreed Grandma Mary interjected with a Sly
smile she said she'd think about it but I know she'll say yes don't waste time Tommy life is too short the next day Grandma Mary orchest ated a meeting between Tommy and Amelia she pretended to be even sicker her frail condition convincing them both that this was urgent as they sat beside her Grandma Mary gave them a weak smile you two mean so much to me she said softly I know it's sudden but I want to see you both happy before it's too late will you consider getting married Tommy and Amelia exchanged a glance they
both felt a rush of emotion love for each other and concern for Grandma Mary finally Amelia spoke I'll do it she said her voice steady I've been thinking my mom's been pressuring me to settle down and honestly Tommy I've fallen for you I don't care about money or status you're kind and thoughtful and that's all that matters to me Tommy's heart swelled with emotion Amelia I feel the same way I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy Grandma Mary beamed triumphantly her frail State momentarily forgotten that's wonderful news let's plan a small ceremony right
away Amelia and Tom both looked up surprised by Grandma's sudden gain of energy the day of the wedding was simple but heartfelt Amelia and Tom exchanged vows in a small ceremony at the local registry office Amelia wore a modest white dress her natural beauty shining brighter than any diamond Tom in a crisp suit looked at her with a mixture of love and nervousness despite his Joy he couldn't shake the weight of his secret the thought of Amelia discovering his true identity as the real Tom Johnson and the fact that he had deceived her into marriage
kept gwing at him Grandma Mary dressed in a cheerful floral outfit watched the couple with satisfaction to her the plan was a success she could see the love in Amelia's eyes and the quiet devotion in Tom's after the cerem as they sat together at a small celebratory dinner Tom leaned close to his grandmother and whispered his worries Grandma he said quietly what if Amelia finds out the truth what if she feels betrayed and decides to leave me I've lied to her and now we're married it's wrong Grandma Mary patted his hand reassuringly Tommy you didn't
deceive her out of malice you love her and it's clear she loves you too when the time comes she'll understand good intentions matter dear don't lose heart Tom nodded but the anxiety lingered in his chest he wanted to believe his grandmother's words but he couldn't ignore the possibility that Amelia might feel hurt and betrayed when the truth came to light after the wedding life at the office became increasingly tense for Amelia though her professional reputation had grown jealousy festered among her colleagues Lucy who had always been competitive and envious decided to take drastic action one
afternoon during a team meeting Lucy stood up with a smug expression I have something important to report she announced holding up a folder Amelia has been leaking confidential documents to our competitors gasps filled the room Amelia froze in shock what that's not true she exclaimed Lucy smirked oh really because I have evidence right here she said holding up what appeared to be incriminating emails with Amelia's name on them the room buzzed with Whispers as Lucy reveled in the attention we can't have someone like her in this firm Mr Johnson should know about this immediately Lucy
added her voice dripping with satisfaction Amelia's heart raced she knew the accusations were false but the so-called evidence was damning she felt her throat tighten as the weight of the situation sank in Tommy sitting quietly in his disguise as an intern clenched his fists under the table he wanted to stand up and defend Amelia but his position as a supposed intern limited what he could do without raising suspicion instead he approached Amelia privately after the meeting I believe you he told her softly his eyes Earnest whatever's happening we'll figure it out Amelia gave him a
small grateful smile but her shoulders sagged thanks Tommy but this is serious if Lucy's lies stick my career could be over Tommy reached out and squeezed her hand you're not alone in this I promise I'll do everything I can to help word of the accusation quickly reached Grandma Mary who immediately sprang into action her influence behind the scenes was far-reaching she discreetly called in favors arranging for Amelia to have access to Legal resources and support to fight the false claims at the same time Grandma Mary kept a close eye on Lucy through her network she
began gathering information that might expose Lucy's schemes meanwhile James still pretending to be Tom Johnson was called into a meeting about the accusations against Amelia Lucy confident that she had the ear of the CEO presented her fabricated evidence to James she expected him to side with her but James following instructions from the real Tom remained non-committal this is a serious matter James said flipping through the folder with a neutral expression we'll conduct a thorough investigation before making an any decisions Lucy's smile faltered but the evidence is clear Mr Johnson James looked up sharply we will
investigate no further discussion a week after their simple wedding Amelia's life had become a whirlwind of challenges and emotions the false accusations from Lucy hung over her and though Grandma Mary and Tommy were supportive she still felt the weight of the situation one evening while staying late at the office to work on her defense Amelia decided to grab a c coffee from the breakroom as she passed a nearby conference room she heard voices and paused the door was slightly a jar and she recognized The Familiar voice of her husband Tommy James I need to stop
this sherad soon Tommy was saying Amelia doesn't deserve to be in the dark anymore I tried to tell her but she didn't believe me now that we're married I can't keep lying to her Sir James replied I understand your concern but revealing your identity might make things complicated especially with Lucy's accusations hanging over Amelia Amelia's heart skipped a beat she leaned closer to hear more her mind racing sir why is Mr Johnson calling Tommy sir I don't care about complications Tommy said firmly Amelia deserves the truth I'm Tom Johnson the CEO of this firm and
my disguise as an intern was only meant to observe how things were run here Amelia's breath caught in her throat Tommy is Tom Johnson she stumbled back from the door her mind reeling the pieces fell into place his insights into their cases his confidence even Grandma Mary's strange insistence that they get married it all made sense now later that evening Amelia waited for Tommy at their apartment when he walked in he could tell immediately that something was wrong Amelia what's going on he asked setting his briefcase down I overheard you talking to James she said
Crossing her arms you're Tom Johnson the CEO of the firm the billionaire Tom Johnson Tommy froze for a moment he considered denying it but he knew it was futile he sighed deeply Amelia I can explain you lied to me she said her voice trembling you pretended to be an intern and then you married me without telling me who you were I didn't mean to hurt you Tommy said stepping closer I tried to tell you the truth before but you didn't believe me I didn't want to lose you and I didn't want you to feel like
I was trying to deceive you Amelia looked at him her emotions Waring between anger and understanding why didn't you tell me before the wedding I wanted to but I was afraid Tommy admitted afraid that you'd feel betrayed or that you'd think I only married you because of Grandma's schemes I love you Amelia that's the only reason I married you and I still owe you a grand wedding if you will have me Amelia's anger softened at his words she could see the sincerity in his eyes after a long pause she said I need time to process
this Tommy but I won't leave you I love you too relief washed over him and he nodded thank you for giving me a chance to make things right the next morning Tommy made a decision he officially ended his disguise as an intern and resumed his role as the CEO of the firm Grandma Mary too decided it was time she stopped when he didn't show up as the intern rumors spread like wildfire Lucy of course was the loudest voice looks like that nosy little intern crossed the wrong people she said with a smirk I heard he
got fired serves him right for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong her comment Drew laughter from others in the office and they turned their attention to Amelia you're probably next Lucy said her tone dripping with mock sympathy I guess being attached to that guy wasn't the smartest move Amelia remained calm her expression neutral she didn't correct them or reveal the truth she simply smiled politely and went back to her work ignoring their taunts she knew they would all find out soon enough and when they did their reactions would be Priceless Tom Johnson had officially
returned to his position as CEO commanding respect and awe from everyone in the first firm however he no longer interacted with the employees on a personal level maintaining a professional distance only Amelia knew that the intimidating CEO was the same man who had once been the humble intern Tommy she kept his secret even as Whispers and gossip continued to swirl in the big office especially in Amelia's Department one afternoon a buzz of excitement swept through the firm the employees whispered to one another about a rumor that Mr Johnson had taken a private flight to Paris
to purchase a necklace worth millions the piece famously called The Heart of the Ocean was said to be an extravagant symbol of love he must have bought it for his wife one lawyer speculated but who is she another asked no one's seen or heard anything about Mr Johnson being married Lucy who was always eager to fuel drama leaned in conspiratorially I heard it's for his first love she said a woman named lla She's stunning and comes from a very wealthy family apparently she's the Mrs Johnson the gossip intensified when later that day a glamorous woman
walked into the office Layla dressed in a designer outfit and wearing a dazzling diamond necklace commanded attention wherever she went she introduced herself confidently claiming to be Tom Johnson's wife the employees immediately began fawning over her eager to gain her favor she's gorgeous Lucy whispered loudly casting a smug glance at Amelia I can see why Mr Johnson would choose someone like her some people should know their Place Amelia kept her head down refusing to engage her heart raced as doubts crept in she knew Tom loved her but the way everyone treated lla and the stunning
necklace she wore made her question if she could truly compete with someone from Tom's past lla didn't waste any time seeking out aelia she approached her with a sweet but condescending smile so you're Amelia like said looking her up and down I've heard so much about you Amelia stood tall her voice calm nice to meet you lla tilted her head it must be hard working here surrounded by so much pressure I hope you don't take it personally if things don't go your way after all not everyone is cut out for this environment Amelia knew what
lla was implying but refused to let it show I appreciate your concern she replied evenly but I think I can handle myself just fine Layla's smile faltered for a moment but she quickly recovered well best of luck dear she said before walking away her necklace catching the light and drawing admiring glances from everyone around her that evening Tom picked up Amelia after work as they sat in his car heading to dinner with Grandma Mary Tom noticed her uncharacteristic silence what on your mind he asked glancing at her Amelia hesitated before speaking I heard about the
necklace she admitted and lla she showed up at the office today Tom frowned what did she say to you she didn't say much Amelia replied but the way she acted the way everyone treated her it made me wonder if she stopped Unsure how to continue if what Tom prompted gently if you regret being with me Amelia said quietly her voice barely audible Tom pulled the car over and turned to face her Amelia look at me she did her eyes filled with uncertainty Tom reached into the glove compartment and pulled out a Sleek velvet box he
opened it revealing the real Heart of the Ocean necklace glittering with unmatched Brilliance this is for you he said fastening the necklace around her neck I flew to Paris to buy this because you're the only woman I've ever wanted to give it to do not lla not anyone else you Amelia's breath hitched as she touched the necklace overwhelmed by its beauty and the meaning behind it Tom lla doesn't mean anything to me Tom continued she's part of the past and I've moved on you're my wife Amelia I love you and no one else could ever
take your place tears filled Amelia's eyes as she smiled the doubts that had been eating away at her disappeared in an instant thank you she said softly I love you too Tom kissed her forehead and started the car again now let's not keep Grandma waiting she'll be thrilled to see you wearing that necklace the atmosphere at the office was tense as Amelia continued working on her defense against the document leaking accusations Lucy had been Relentless in her claims and many employees were starting to whisper that Amelia's career was over but Amelia wasn't one to give
up easily with the help of Grandma Mary's resources and Tom's Secret support Amelia worked tirelessly to gather evidence after days of combing through emails surveillance footage and system logs she finally found what she was looking for proof that Lucy Had fabricated the emails and planted false evidence to frame her Amelia presented the findings at an internal investigation meeting here's the email metadata she said confidently passing out copies to the panel it shows the supposed leak came from Lucy's account not mine additionally this surveillance footage confirms she accessed the files in question After Hours the room
erupted into murmurs as the evidence was reviewed Lucy seated across the table turned pale this is ridiculous Lucy exclaimed trying to maintain her composure you must have faked this one of the senior Partners Cut Her Off enough Lucy the evidence is clear you've not only framed Amelia but also violated the company's confidential ity policies this firm has no place for someone like you Lucy's face Twisted in anger and Desperation you don't understand she doesn't belong here she's nothing compared to me at that moment the door opened and Lyla walked in her presence commanding attention don't
even try to blame me Lucy she said her voice icy but don't worry I'll admit to my part the room went silent as Lyla confessed to C crating with Lucy providing access to fake documents and coaching her on how to sabotage Amelia laya's motivation was simple jealousy she had wanted to undermine Amelia and rekindle her relationship with Tom Tom who had been quietly observing finally stepped forward you both should be ashamed of yourselves he said coldly your actions have harmed an innocent woman and tarnished this firm's reputation Lucy and lla were escorted out of the
room as murmurs of disbelief filled the air Tom stood at the head of the room his expression firm but Calm before we move forward there's something I need to say Tom began his voice carrying Authority many of you have wondered about my time here as an intern I wasn't here to learn I was here to observe the employees exchanged confused glances unsure of what he meant Tom straightened his posture I am Tom Johnson CEO of this firm gasps filled the room as everyone stared at him in shock Lucy's mocking remarks the assumptions about his firing
everything they had believed about the quiet intern was turned upside down and there's one more thing Tom continued his gaze softening as it fell on Amelia Amelia isn't just an employee here she's my wife we married recently and I'm proud to call her my life partner Amelia's heart swelled as she looked at Tom he had finally revealed the truth and he had done so while standing up for her publicly the room fell into stunned silence then one by one the employees began speaking up their voices filled with guilt Mrs Johnson we didn't know one said
we so sorry for the way we treated you another added we didn't mean to hurt you please forgive us Lucy's former allies chimed in Amelia held her head high it's not about me forgiving you she said firmly it's about understanding that bullying is unacceptable no matter who it's directed at rich or poor powerful or powerless workplace harassment is not just unethical it's illegal and I hope you've learned that lesson today Tom nodded in agreement addressing the room Amelia's right this firm will not tolerate such Behavior moving forward learn from this experience or you'll find yourselves
looking for work elsewhere the employees nodded solemnly clearly shaken by the turn of events as the meeting ended Tom took Amelia's hand and walked her out of the room their heads held high though the road had been Rocky they had emerged stronger with their love and integrity intact thank you Amelia said softly as they stepped into his office for what Tom asked wrapping an arm around her for standing by me she replied smiling Tom leaned down his forehead resting against hers I'll always Stand By You Amelia you're my heart and my future Amelia and Tom
quickly became the talk of the firm known now as the power couple their Dynamic was a blend of professionalism and affection that left many in awe Amelia's Grace and determination coupled with Tom's sharp leadership made them an unbeatable team their love story had become a quiet inspiration and even the employees who had once mocked Amelia now treated her with respect and admiration one quiet evening after work Amelia and Tom sat on the balcony of their luxurious home enjoying a warm cup of tea the city lights twinkled in the distance and the air was filled with
the comfortable Silence of two people deeply connected Amelia Tom began breaking the silence there's something I've been meaning to tell you it's about why I became a lawyer Amelia raised an eyebrow in curiosity why Tom set his cup down and looked at her his expression soft and nostalgic Because of You me Amelia asked surprised Tom nodded a small smile playing on his lips you probably don't remember but when we were teenagers we met once you saved me Amelia's brow furrowed and she leaned closer tell me the memory was Vivid in tomk mind as a shy
teenager he had once been corned by a group of bullies in the schoolyard they taunted him for his quiet demeanor and wealth pushing him around as he tried to defend himself think you're better than us rich boy one of the bullies sneered just as Tom braced himself for another shove a voice rang out leave him alone the bullies turned to see a fiery Eyed Girl storming toward them it was Amelia she stood between Tom and his tormentors her hands on her hips looking as Fierce as a lioness who do you think you are one of
the bullies Jered I'm someone who's going to become a lawyer Amelia declared her voice steady and when I do I'll sue every one of you for harassment and bullying the bullies laughed nervously but something about Amelia's determination made them think twice as she picked up her phone dialing a number muttering insults under their breath they eventually left Amelia turned to Tom who was still stunned are you okay she asked her tone softer now Tom nodded staring at her in a thank you don't thank me Amelia said brushing off her skirt just make sure you stand
up for yourself next time as the memory faded Tom looked at Amelia you probably forgot about that day but I never did watching you stand up for me with so much courage it changed something in me I wanted to be like you to fight for what's right to protect people who couldn't protect themselves Amelia blinked her eyes wide Tom I had no idea Tom smiled when I walked into the firm and saw you again I recognized you immediately I knew I couldn't let you slip away this time even without Grandma's interference I would have done
everything in my power to make you mine Amelia's cheeks flushed and she smiled shyly you've been holding on to this all this time every word Tom said pulling her closer you've been my inspiration from the beginning Amelia she smiled her heart swelling with love I can't believe this Tom leaned in his voice low and full of affection believe it Mrs Johnson they shared a passionate hug their Connection deepened by the revelation of their shared past for Amelia the idea that she had unknowingly influenced Tom's life so profoundly filled her with warmth and pride the next
day Grandma Mary invited them over for dinner as they sat around the table she couldn't help but eye them mischievously you too make a lovely couple she said smiling warmly but you know what would make this even better Amelia tilted her head what grandma great grandchildren Grandma Mary exclaimed with a laugh I'm not getting any younger you know a little one running around would be the perfect addition to this family Amelia's face turned bright red and she sputtered get Grandma Tom on the other hand chuckled clearly amused don't rush her grandma we're taking one step
at a time Grandma Mary waved him off playfully nonsense you're married now what are you waiting for Amelia covered her face with her hands while Tom reached out to squeeze her shoulder his laughter infectious we'll keep that in mind Grandma he said teasingly as the evening went on the conversation shifted but Grandma Mary's playful hints stayed in Amelia's mind she caught Tom grinning at her a few times his eyes sparkling with amusement as they left Grandma Mary's house that evening Amelia slipped her hand into Tom's she's not going to let up is she not a
chance Tom replied with a grin but don't worry we'll figure it out in our own time Amelia smiled leaning her head against his shoulder as they walked with their Love strengthened by honesty and their past Amelia felt ready to face whatever the future held whether it was handling the challenges of the firm or Grandma Mary's well-meaning meddling lla sat in her car outside Tom and Amelia's Mansion her jaw clenched in determination she couldn't believe she had been cast aside so easily watching Tom shower Amelia with love and attention had driven her to the edge she
wasn't going to lose the handsome billionaire to some poor girl as she saw it she had a plan and she was ready to execute it that afternoon while Amelia was out running errands Laya managed to sneak into the Mansion she was careful to avoid the household staff moving stealthily toward the kitchen there she found a bottle of wine chilling in the refrigerator smirking to herself she pulled a small vial from her purse and poured its contents into the wine this will remind him of what we had she murmured to herself she poured a glass placing
it on the coffee table in the living room where she knew Tom would sit after work confident in her plan lla hid in the room and watched as Tom drank the wine unknown to lla Grandma Mary had decided to drop by the Mansion unannounced as she stepped through the front door she immediately sensed something was off spotting lla lounging casually in the living room Grandma Mary's sharp eyes narrowed what are you doing here lla she demanded her voice firm lyla's confidence faltered for a moment but she quickly recovered oh Grandma Mary I just came to
visit Tom I thought we could catch up Grandma Mary's gaze shifted to the wine glass on the table years of experience told her something wasn't right Tom didn't invite you and he certainly doesn't need catching up with you before lla could respond Grandma Mary picked up the glass and sniffed it her face darkened what have you done Grandma Mary demanded her voice icy did you spike this lla stammered I I didn't enough Grandma Mary snapped cut in her off she turned to the nearest security guard get this woman out of here immediately and make sure
she never sets foot in this house again the guards quickly escorted a furious and defeated lla out of the Mansion Grandma Mary sighed her anger giving way to concern she immediately called Amelia Amelia arrived at the Mansion shortly after alarmed by Grandma Mary's call Grandma what happened she asked rushing inside Grandma Mary recounted everything from Ila sneaking into the house and drugging Tom Amelia's face paled with anger and disbelief she won't get away with this Amelia said firmly Grandma Mary gave her a Sly smile I've already handled her but there's something else you need to
