View MoreAmelia's POVI lay flat on the bed with the head facing the celling. My heart was going with same tone of the song in the background.My head was filled with lots of thoughts at this point just to run out of this world I am in.My world had already fallen down into the drain,and I have no way to get myself up as expected.My mother who I have higher trust in already left me to face the world all cause I had greater plans to help my life and not to keep myself in the bondage of the world Contract Marriage or a foolish Deal.What I have in mind now was to just run out with my daughter and not let Bryan come back to me or my daughter Emily.As I lay there, my mind racing with thoughts of how to escape, I knew I had to act faster than the shadows. I couldn't let Bryan Smith control my life anymore. I thought of my mother's words to me, "You made your bed, now lie in it." But I refused to accept that negative statement. I wanted a better life for myself and my daughter Emily.I slowly got
Bryan POV"You already disowned me, so why are you trying to come back to me?" My voice was loud to the other end.It was my father on the phone; hearing his voice was literally making me so angry already.He was the man who destroyed my life and gave me a name that wasn't mine, and now he was already back after a few weeks, trying to use his smooth and unlovely phrases to drag me back into his own evil gain and thoughts."Bryan, just calm down and listen to me, and know I am your father." I interrupted him at once."My ex-father," I spat."You were my past, and nothing can make you come back to my life or make me call you the name father ever again," I exclaimed angrily.My father sighed, his voice laced with a mixture of frustration and desperation, which I just wasn't ready to care about."Bryan, please, just hear me out at least." I know I made mistakes, but I'm trying to make amends for all of that." I laughed with his words, a bitter taste in my mouth. "Amends? You think a sim
Amelia's POV" How smart are you,to come try tell me something I have figured out for a long time" I chuckled .Bryan's face was gradually changing, but I don't care. We were in a public place, and he dare not hit me unless he would hate his own life after that action."I still have something to tell you," he said as I stood up, immediately dragging my daughter by her hand."I don't care, Bryan. Just move on and let me do the same to my own life," I said as I turned around, trying to walk out of the restaurant.At first, I think Bryan would try to drag me back, but he just didn't do anything similar to that.I walked out of the restaurant, my head held high, with Emily by my side and a heart racing with anxiety.I could feel Bryan's eyes on me, but I didn't dare look back in his direction. I was determined to move on with my life, without him again in my life.As I entered the hotel lobby, Sarah, my best friend, noticed the look on my face as I approached her."Amelia, what's wrong?"
Bryan POVMy heart was pounding so fast with a lot of fear within me on how to proceed with telling Amelia the whole thing that was happening, but her look towards me was something that wasn't friendly at all."Can you just go ahead with all of this so I can go to where I have to be?" She said whole. I took a deep breath in and out, still giving her a look that wasn't even friendly."But please, it's so hard to tell you this, but I have to," I sighed."Who cares?" she replied with an unfriendly gaze to me at this stage.I looked at her still with no words to say but was trying to gather my pride and play my game like a real man.I took another deep breath within, trying to find the right words to set and give to her."Amelia, please just listen to me. I know I've made mistakes in the past already, but this is so different. I'm trying to protect you and Emily this time."She raised an eyebrow to my words, and her expression was unyielding at this point."Protect us from what, Bryan?" S
Amelia POV"Can you tell me your location?" The voice came from the other end of the call."No, I can't keep it private," I said with an arrogant voice." But you are my wife" I interrupted him at once trying to rebuke that statement."Ex wife," I said."Where's the closet restaurant to where you are?" He asked."Why are you being so curious about knowing where I stay now?" I asked."Just so we can see." "Why won't you just take off the feelings since mine has already died for you and don't get worried about seeing me and my daughter ever again, because we are not close to you?" he laughed from the other end."Do you still want us to continue this game like before, Amelia?" he chuckled."What game?" "Just let us see today at the closest place to the office." I just didn't give a word for that time but was just thinking about what he actually wanted from me."Hope that's good to you?" He asked."Yes," I cut off the call rudely.I sat on the bed with my daughter playing all around me
Amelia POV"So, can I get more information about you divorcing your husband?" Sarah asked with sticking food into her mouth.I gave a sigh, dropping my meal immediately just to look at her.I felt strange immediately as she asked me that question. It was something rare for someone to be much concerned about my matter, but I still had to voice out."It's actually a long story." I smiled at the words as I gazed at her.She dropped her meal and looked at me eyeball to eyeball with a little smile."I'm here to listen to it," she said.I took a deep breath, unsure of where to start from. "I married my husband, Bryan, five years ago. We met with the help of his father, who happens to be my boss, and he was charming and loving at first sight. He swept me off my feet with his romantic gestures and sweet words, which his father helped him with also. But after we got married, things changed after a night. He became controlling and possessive, dictating what I wore every time, who I talked to,
Amelia POV" Emily by fast with that" I said as I walked out of the room standing by the door side.I stood there for a while looking at my daughter who was busy with her toys. I stood there still looking at her.I turned around to look to the hall way." Hello ma'am" the room service lady walked pass me with me a lady and her female youngster beside her." Hello lady" I smiled as my daughter came to me standing beside me with her arms holding mine tight." Angela" my daughter smiled as the young Woman daughter also smiled to her with a wave." Do you know her?" The young woman asked her daughter." Yes,she's my class mate" the young girl smiled while I looked at her." That good " I said."Nice meeting you," I said, smiling at the young woman who still held on to her daughter. "And by the way I'm Amelia, and this is my lovely daughter Emily." I similed."I'm Sarah also , and this is my little damel daughter Angela," the young woman replied, smiling back at me with almost same friend
Amelia POV"Mommy, where are we going to?" Emily interrupted while I was still busy packing up my bags to finally leave the house.Bryan and his father kept myself and my daughter in a little room far away from there's."Somewhere much better, my darling," I smiled to her as I jacked up my bag holding my daughter by my side with a huge sigh and breathed in."Finally, I'm getting the life I always wanted," I said with a big exhale.I walked out of the room with my whole set of items.Soon the taxi came into the large mansion, and myself and Emily immediately jumped in.As we both pulled up to the 5-star hotel, Emily's eyes widened in awe and huge surprise. "Wow, Mommy, this place is so fancy!" she exclaimed with a bold smile on her face.I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over me with her positive remark."I know, baby girl. We're going to live here for a while until I can get something's."The taxi driver helped us with our bags down from the car, and we stepp
Bryan POV"Father, you can't say it's my fault she's leaving me." He immediately banged the table as I responded with what he doesn't want to listen to." Then it whose fault" I stood up immediately."It's our both fault, father." " How?" He screeched out."We never took her serious like a woman," I said with a much calmer tone this time."How did you expect me to treat her, Bryan?" My eyes were blazing with anger already while we both eyes were stick-piecering at each other's."We were supposed to play her well and not play her like a kid," I said." She's a pawn and that it" my father said.******"I can't believe you're saying that, Father," I spat, my anger boiling over with his statement."Amelia is not a game pawn; she's a person who needs to be treated as one. And Emily is my daughter and my first child, not some bargaining chip for you to use in your games of money." I exclaimed.Mr. Smith sneered at me with anger. "You're so naive, Bryan.
