Thank you for reading.
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
Ethan was ecstatic. The hours he had spent with Amelia were the best hours of his life. Her laughter and giggles as they played in the fields tickled his heart. He had never felt so carefree and happy in like forever. She looked more beautiful when she smiled and Ethan swore to himself that he would do everything to keep her smiling all the time. He had planned to confess his feelings to her officially during dinner and ask her to give him a chance. Even though she had been adamant about not falling in love, Ethan believed if he could try hard enough, she would one day open up her heart to him. After the day’s adventure, he had left Amelia in the cottage and went out to prepare for their outdoor dinner. Of course, he had some help. Workers had already arranged a table and some lanterns on the rooftop. There was a special chef at the farm that would bring in their food so all he had to do was arrange the flowers on the table and light the lanterns at night. He had secretly changed
A week had passed by in a blur. Amelia’s scandal was not a hot topic anymore, people were now minding their own business but she couldn’t return for work because her name had not been cleared yet. After they came back from their weekend away, Ethan had not been as pushy with her as he was before. He gave her the space she needed and didn’t make moves on her which was kind of strange for Amelia since she was used to how strongly he pursued her. It felt weird that he was suddenly acting like they were just housemates. Not that she wanted anything more than what they had. She just felt he wasn’t into her as much as he proclaimed to be if he gave up so soon. They had not talked about the farm incident but Amelia had apologized once they got home. Even though Ethan said it was cool, Amelia could tell that he was still affected by it. That’s why he was avoiding her. Amelia sighed as she patted her body dry with a towel in front of the mirror. Ethan had called her earlier and told her t
Amelia’s heart banged violently against her ribcage. She immediately rushed towards Ethan and pulled his head onto her lap. “Ethan, Ethan!” She called to him while patting his cheek. “What the hell happened?” She screamed at the crowd as panic enveloped her. She did not even realize that tears were streaming down her face. “Someone call an ambulance!” She shrieked as she tried to wake Ethan up. He looked so vulnerable that it tugged at her heart painfully. “Excuse me!” She heard a voice coming through the crowd and was relieved to see Josh Knight, Ethan’s assistant. “Oh… thank God. Josh, please help me carry Ethan,” Amelia pleaded desperately. Josh didn’t respond to Amelia but carried Ethan on his back and hastily
Ethan did not intend to attend the combined dinner party for multi-billion dollar companies. But his father had called him and urged him to attend, saying there was a potential partner he wanted him to meet. Begrudgingly, he accepted to go and only because he had his angel with him so he wouldn’t have to embarrass himself by having a panic attack when he met some annoying women. He had already informed Amelia and had gone back home to shower and have a change of clothes. Thereafter, he waited for Amelia in the sitting area after sending her a text message that it was time to leave. The moment he felt Amelia’s presence, he looked up and internally hissed when he saw how ravishing she looked. His eyes raked her body, trailing over her cleavage and curves and he felt his shaft twitch in his pants.
~Flashback~ TEN YEARS AGO Twenty year old Ethan stretched as he sat up straight on his chair. He was in the library at the University working on his assignments. Feeling thirsty he took the bottle on the desk and drank some water. “Wow… he’s so hot.” He could hear some fangirls whispering as they watched his Adam's apple bob as he drank the water. He smirked cockily knowing too well that girls loved his god-like looks. The attention he got was thrilling but that was all. He was never tempted to indulge himself. His father’s empire was waiting for him to inherit. There was no time to be playful or have fun with girls when he had to prove himself worthy of the inheritance. That was the weight of the crown he bore. It meant there was no social life for him. ‘No one is your friend, son. Keep that in mind.’ His father would say almost every night. Ethan was only allowed to have one friend, Lucas. That was because they were the ‘same’
