Chapter: Chapter FiveHIS AMELIAXade’s POVBeep.Beep.Beep.The sound of beeping was the first thing I heard before my vision blurred into a white ceiling.I blinked slowly, my throat dry and my head hurting, like someone had slammed a hammer on my head from behind.I tried to move, but pain shot up my arm and down my ribs, making me wince, so I lay back down instead. I didn't realize I wasn't alone in the room till he spoke. “Mr. Cross, don’t move too quickly,” a voice said, soft and cautious.I turned my head toward the sound and saw a nurse standing beside my bed, a clipboard in hand as she scribbled away, watching me before going back to taking her notes.She does this over and over before walking to the heart monitor and doing the same thing.It started to unnerve me at her silence. “What happened?” I croaked, my voice hoarse, probably from not speaking for a long time.“You were in an accident, sir. It’s a miracle you’re alive.”Accident?My head throbbed as I tried to remember, I groaned, placi

Chapter: Chapter Four THE STORMAmelia's POV “Answer me! What are you doing here?”His voice thundered in the room, bouncing off the walls. I flinched backward, trying to get away from him or some space at least but he wasn't letting me. He leaned in, cocking his left brow as he looked at me.“Speak. Or do you want me to force you?”“I— the head maid—she told me to clean—” I blurted out but even though I spoke because he commanded, he didn’t let me finish before grabbing my arm and yanking me towards the door.The strength in his grip made me stumble, my heart pounding as I tried to keep up with his long strides.“I told everyone to stay out of this room!” he snapped, dragging me across the hall.“I didn’t know!” I cried, trying to pull free. “She said you were out, I—”“Don’t you dare say another word,” he calmly said, making me more scared than when he was yelling. When we reached the doorway, he turned sharply and shoved me out. I hit the floor, my hand scratching against the floor as I winced when

Chapter: Chapter ThreeFRAMED PHOTO Amelia's POV I raised my head and stared at him, keeping any form of fear off my face. He stared for some seconds and everyone else started muttering about why he was looking at me so intently. Without saying a word, he turned and walked up the stairs. I let out a sigh of relief when the head maid roughly grabbed my hand, dragging me off. “What did you do?” she asked and my brows furrowed in confusion. “What do you mean?” I asked and her hand wrapped around mine, tightened. “What did you do to make him pay attention to you just now?” I tried to shake her off but she had no intention of letting me go. “I didn't do anything,” I replied, wincing in pain. “Well, this is the first time he has bothered to know any of the maids personally. You must have piqued his interest. I don't want you trying to get all over him and into his pants. You're assigned to the kitchen and the laundry.” She finally released me and stalked off, leaving my hand hurting and red from h

Chapter: Chapter Two A NEW LIFE Amelia's POV I took in a deep breath and nodded at the words of the doctor, my mind zoning off as he began to list off the things I should do to stay healthy, from my diet to how I take care of myself. I nodded mindlessly when I thought he looked up at me to check if I was still listening. “That would be all,” he said, closing the document and giving me a small but evidently sad smile, before stepping out of the room. Silvia sank into the chair beside the bed and burst into tears like she could feel my pain. She squeezed my hand and spoke words of encouragement. “It's fine Silvia. I will be fine.” I said to her and just as I said those words, my father's assistant burst into the room, beads of sweat on his forehead, as his chest heaved from running over. “Miss. Amelia. The company… the company is nothing now.” My heart constricted but I forced myself to breathe. I knew this would happen sooner or later. “What are our assets?” I asked, trying to keep my voice conf

Chapter: Chapter One LIAR Amelia's POV His hands found mine as he looked into my eyes. I had dreamt of this day, one too many times to count that I never thought would come. “Amelia…” he breathed out as his nose struck my neck, it tickled and made my body shiver as I closed my eyes from his touch, leaning into him till our chests were touching. His hands slowly left mine as they found the zip of my dress, pulling it down and letting my dress fall to the ground, pooling at my feet. He then looked me in the eye and smiled, his dimple popping up as his eyes crinkled from joy that my heart couldn't help but hurt from how much love I felt in that moment. His mouth parted as he spoke. “I love you.” Tears welled in my eyes as his head dipped and his lips found mine. The alarm by the bed rang, forcing me to slam my hands down on it as I peeled my eyes open, looking around the room before sitting up and resting my back on the headrest. I let out a deep breath and smiled, the noise from the TV in the b
