Amelia watched in horror as Ethan’s face magnified in front of her agonizingly slow. She was about to push him away when he stopped just a few inches away from her face and then smirked. ‘He smirked! The nerve..’ Amelia thought before furrowing her brows. Her furious expression earned a chuckle from Ethan. He raised his hand and brushed his thumb along Amelia’s lips and raised it, acting to show her. “You had a smear of chocolate on your lips,” Ethan said and did something that completely threw Amelia off. He placed his thumb into his mouth and sucked on it. A pounding that had recently become familiar to Amelia was felt between her thighs; she squeezed her walls and thought, ‘Damn, is he seducing me?’ The chocolate on her lips was from the bars she was snacking on earlier when she felt hungry. Her situation made her depressed so she wasn’t in the mood to cook. Another chuckle made her look up at Ethan who had now stood up straight and after smirking again, he returned to cooking
“Seriously? Just kiss the girl!!” Amelia’s groan could be heard reverberating in the mansion. She was watching a romantic k-drama on the television in the sitting area. She was lying on a one-seat couch with her legs hanging over the armchair. “Oh gosh! So dumb! Why do you keep rejecting him when you like him?” Amelia complained when the female lead in the drama rejected the male lead. The way they kept fighting with each other frustrated Amelia but she was still hooked. Each ending of an episode made her want to know what would happen next so she wound up watching the series the whole day. It was a first for Amelia. Staying home with no worries and just binge watching dramas was a nice experience since she was always so busy with her demanding career. She munched on some snacks that Ethan had brought for her and looked at the clock on the wall. It was time for him to knock off from work. Days had passed since the gift incident but Ethan acted like nothing happened which Amelia was
“Ethan! Wait for me.” Amelia shouted after Ethan when she saw him walking away. “Julian, let's talk later, thank you for your help once more. I really appreciate it,” she said and ran after Ethan after cutting the call. The corner of Ethan’s lips curled into a cocky smirk and his heart tickled when Amelia cut the call to go after him. This small gesture calmed him down a little knowing Amelia put him into consideration. He believed his prey had already been caught in his trap. It was just a matter of time. It did not take long, however, for Amelia to burst Ethan’s bubble. Even though his stoic face showed no emotions, he was ecstatic that Amelia had shown a positive attitude towards him. If she didn’t have an ounce of care for him she wouldn’t have cut her friend’s call. Ethan’s mind had already gone far and envisioned how they would have a wedding when the scandal died down, how they would have mini versions of them running around the mansion in a few years. His mind had already
Ethan had a long night. No matter how much he tried, he just couldn’t fall asleep. He had messed up big time. He shouldn’t have tried to force Amelia to have sex with him, no matter how much he wanted it. Thinking his recklessness had hurt Amelia, he felt bad so before leaving for work when morning came, he prepared a surprise for her to make it up to her. A few hours after Ethan had left for work, Amelia awoke from her deep sleep. She remembered Ethan going to her room to tell her something although she was a bit groggy at that time. He had told her to not just sit in bed but take a tour around the mansion, especially the third floor. The way he said it made Amelia curious to find out what interesting things could be on the third floor. After freshening up and getting dressed in a pair of pink joggers and a white tank top, Amelia pulled her hair up into a messy bun and left the bedroom after checking herself out in the mirror. It seemed like Ethan thought all women loved pink,
“I’m going to freshen up,” Ethan said and after pecking Amelia’s forehead, he left them in the sitting area. Amelia chuckled awkwardly, feeling embarrassed. She looked up and saw Julian’s piercing gaze that looked hurt. Feeling guilty, she averted his gaze and cleared her throat. “Did you manage? Are the reporters still camping at my place?” She asked, trying to divert their attention to something else. But that was only going to happen in her dreams. “Why did you agree to marry him?” Julian asked instead of answering the question. He was so angry his jaw was ticking. He had clenched his hand tightly around the bag he was carrying. The reason he came home with Ethan was to ask Amelia in person if she had really married him but from their earlier display of affection, he already knew the answer. Amelia frowned, not liking the tone he was using on her. Her love life was her personal business, yet he sounded like a jealous boyfriend. She didn’t appreciate him interrogating her like s
Amelia groaned as she packed clothes into a bag in frustration. Ethan had really pissed her off with his undecisive attitude. Did he want her around or not? Halfway through her packing, she realized she was packing clothes that Ethan bought for her. “Argh!” She groaned and dumped the bag on the bed. She wasn’t going to leave with things he had bought. He was so rude and cold to her earlier. Walking out of the bedroom, she saw a blur and heard a creak to Ethan’s bedroom door as it closed, making her sigh. So he was spying on her after telling her to leave? She stared at his door for a few seconds then proceeded downstairs. When she walked over to Julian, he stood up with a huge grin on his face as if he had just been given his favorite candy. “Ready?” He asked her while beaming like a child. Amelia took a deep breath and looked into Julian’s brown eyes. “There’s something I want to tell you.” She said quietly. …. Ethan had regretted telling Amelia to leave. He was influenced
Amelia was deeply immersed in her thoughts when she heard a low chuckle coming from Ethan followed by his husky voice. “Chill, don’t be nervous. I won’t eat you….” He trailed, then suggested, “unless you ask me to.” “I – I’m not nervous,” Amelia denied, hoping Ethan couldn’t hear the loud thumping of her heart. “I just don’t trust myself not to jump on you.” A short silence ensued and Amelia coughed awkwardly, she peered at Ethan’s face and noticed that he had cocked his eyebrows as if amused so she spoke quickly before he could respond to her statement. “Let’s hurry... I’m starving.” That seemed to distract Ethan and he quickly beckoned for Amelia to follow as he turned into another path, picking up his pace. The farm was well maintained and all the crops looked healthy. Amelia thought if the plants looked this good, then the farm was fetching a lot of money. It is true what they say that the rich stay rich because they are always finding ways of making money. They were now in t
“Angel, meet Maximus!” Amelia heard Ethan say as he petted the white horse in its stall. “Maximus, this is Amelia, do you like her?” The horse neighed loudly and he gave its neck a rub. They were now on the other side of the farm, at the stables. Amelia was nervous, she was never a fan of animals, let alone riding one but Ethan had promised to do it with her. She took in Maximus’ form, he was a white horse with a blond mane and tail, and he kind of reminded her of the horse from an animated movie called tangled. “Whatever you are thinking is right. He is named after the horse Maximus from the tangled movie.” Amelia heard Ethan say and she turned to look at him, her mouth almost fell to the floor. “Why are you giving me that look? I watched it once when I was young and when I got this horse, he looked like Maximus so I named him that,” Ethan said. “He’s usually not friendly but I think he likes you.” Amelia looked at the tall horse in front of her; her heart was drumming dramatical
