Ava didn’t bother knocking on James’ office door before opening the door and walking in. James lifted his head from his computer to look at who had disrespectfully barged into his office.

When he saw it was Ava, he heaved a sigh. ‘Only she can do such a silly thing.’

“Hi, James.” She smiled softly and approached his desk. “What do you want, Ava? I told you I don’t like disturbance at the office.” He shifted his gaze back to his computer and kept working.

“I’m sorry, okay? You have been ignoring me, so I decided to pay you a visit.” She walked past the chairs and headed to where he sat.

She touched his face with her right hand, and he looked at her. “Stop it, Ava.” He moved her hand away from his face.

“Why? Don’t you love me anymore?” She asked, and he scoffed. “Love you? When have I ever said I love you, Ava?” He looked at her unbelievably.

“What? But, we…” “We had one night of pleasure and that is all, Ava. No feelings attached. I made that clear before we kicked off, didn’t I?” He asked, and Ava gulped hard.

“Yes, but I don’t want to be just a one night stand. I want us to start going out.” She wanted to reach for his face but he moved his face away.

“Don’t touch me, Ava, and stop dreaming. We are never going to happen. I don’t date, and I don’t court. I f**k you and move on.”

Ava felt her heart burst inside of her when she heard the words that proceeded out of James’ mouth. She had always dreamed of them being a couple, but he kept pushing her away.

Her eyes heated up, and she moved away from his desk.

She reached for her tissue paper in her pink large bag and tore some. She cleaned her eyes neatly so that she wouldn’t ruin her mascara.

She looked at James again and saw he paid her no attention. She turned her back and walked to the door.

‘I’m not going to give up on you, James. I promise I am going to have you to myself alone. No one is going to have you except me!’

Amelia got home and tiredly crashed on her bed. She exhaled loudly and closed her eyes. She replayed the scenes at James’ office again.

As she thought about it, she could perceive his cologne full her nostrils again. She creased her brows and opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling. ‘How am I still perceiving him?’

She suddenly heard a loud knock on her door, and she raised her head and looked at the door.

“Who is it?” She asked, resting her elbows on the bed and raising her lower body.

“Open up, Amelia.” She heard Hudson’s disembodied voice. She shut her eyes tight and stood up from the bed.

She hopped to the door and opened it. Hudson leaned on the door frame and when she opened the door, he leaned forward that their heads almost touched.

Amelia moved back very fast, and he walked into her room. “What do you want, Hudson?” She asked, and he smirked.

He looked around her room and then at her. “Why would you ask me that question in my house?” He asked, and she bounced her head slowly. “Sorry,” She mumbled.

He tucked his arms on his chest, still watching her. “My room needs cleaning. I need you to come and take care of it,” He said, and Amelia couldn’t help but knit her eyebrows.

“Your room? But, the maids are…” She stopped talking when Hudson spoke up again.

“And what are you? Don’t tell me you see yourself as one of us.” He let out a little laugh of mockery, and she clenched her jaw. She felt embarrassed.

“Can I please rest a little? I promise to clean your room when I wake up.” She lowered her head, and Hudson arched his eyebrow.

“Rest a little? You haven’t done anything today. What are you resting for?”

He made his hands fall from his chest, and when she saw this, her heart started thumping against her chest. She could think of nothing but him hitting her for what she had said.

“I went to see Mr. James today, and I am very exhausted because of the injury on my leg. But I promise, once I’m awake, I’ll do exactly what you want me to do.”

She lowered her head and prayed silently that he allowed her rest. “Injury? When did you sustain an injury? Let me see it.” He threw his head forward after speaking.

Amelia nodded and reached for the left leg of her pants. She pulled it up and when it was above the wounded spot, she stopped.

She could see some traces of blood on the bandage. “What happened to you? How did you get injured?” He asked, and Amelia raised her head to look at him.

‘Why is he asking so many questions? Does he care about me now? But if I tell him it’s Ava, won’t he do something bad to me?’

“I…”

“Ava did it right?” He butted in, and Amelia nodded slowly.

‘How did he know?’

He clasped his lips, and she saw a smile light up his face. Immediately, he burst into a loud laughter.

“God, Ava is something else! She told me she broke your leg but I was too shocked to believe. So it’s true.”

He kept laughing, and Amelia bowed her head. Tears hurriedly heated her eyes, and that streamed out without hindrances.

‘Was that supposed to be funny?’ She questioned herself inwardly as she sobbed.

“Well, I’m so sorry for not giving a f**k about your leg. I want you in my room now.” He headed to where she was standing and stood right in front of her. He was so close that his breath touched her forehead.

Amelia swallowed hard and clasped her eyes when she felt him very close to her.

He raised his hand and ran his finger on her silky hair. He moved his nose to hair and sniffed it deeply, his eyes fell shut.

Amelia moved back after he sniffed her hair. She didn’t know what he was doing, but she didn’t like any of it. “I’ll clean your room now,” She muttered, looking at his face.

He had a weird, unexplainable look on his face and this made Amelia very uncomfortable.

He began to approach her slowly, and she began to move back. Before her back hit the door, a knock was heard again.

Hudson lifted his gaze from her and made it fall on the door. Amelia let out a sigh of relief as she believed whoever it was had saved her from Hudson and his weird attitude.

“Amelia, are you home?” They heard Freddie say from outside her room.

“Yes, Uncle. I’m back.” She said, keeping her eyes on Hudson.

“What are you waiting for? Open the door,” He said, folding his arms again. Amelia grabbed the door knob and pulled the door to herself.

She put on a fake smile as she looked at Freddie. “Welcome back, Uncle.” Freddie nodded and looked up to see Hudson inside her room.

He narrowed his gaze at him and walked in. “Hi, Dad.” Hudson smiled widely.

“What are you doing here?” Freddie asked, also smiling. “I came here to see Amelia. I heard she has an injury, so I came to greet her.” Freddie smiled with great emotions and said, “That is so nice of you, Son. I appreciate your care towards Amelia.”

Hudson nodded and looked at Amelia who just watched them blankly. “I’ll excuse you both,” Hudson said, and he approached the door.

He got to where Amelia was and rubbed her hair, just like how a dog owner rubs her dog’s head.

He leaned closer and whispered in her ear, “Consider yourself lucky today. Next time, he won’t be around to save you.”

Amelia fearfully smiled and looked at his face. “Thank you for your care.” She responded.

Hudson walked out of her room and as soon as she was out, she turned her head to look at Freddie. He sat on the bed and tapped the space next to him.

“Let’s talk about your visit to James’ office.” He said, and she nodded.

“I apologized to him, but he has yet to forgive me. He told me I have to find what he loves the most and do it for him.” She sat next to Freddie, and he stared at her with confusion written all over him.

“What does he love the most?” He asked, and she shook her head.

“I don’t know, uncle. I asked him but he asked me to find that out myself. I don’t know what to do, Uncle,” Amelia said, and Freddie exhaled.

Without uttering any words, he pulled out his phone from the pockets of his trousers and searched his call log.

Amelia furrowed her eyebrows as she watched him. She wondered what he wanted to do but she kept mute. Soon, Freddie put his phone on his ear and waited some seconds before talking.

“Charles,” He uttered, and Amelia’s eyes widened.

‘Mr. Charles? James’ father?’

“Freddie. How is it going?” Charles asked from the other end of the phone.

“Your son asked her to look for what he loves the most and do it for him. Do you have any idea what it could be?” Freddie asked, and Amelia nodded as she listened to him.

“I’m sorry, Freddie. I have no idea. What James loves the most is best known by him. She would have to know him well before she can figure it out.” Freddie looked at Amelia sadly after he heard Charles’ response.

Amelia’s heart skipped when she saw the look on Freddie’s face. She knew something was wrong.

“Thank you, Charles. I’ll hang up now.” Freddie hung up the call and heaved a loud sigh.

“What did he say, uncle?” Amelia asked.

“According to Charles, You will have to know James pretty well before you can know what he loves,” Freddie answered.

“But, how do I do that? He hates me, Uncle,” She said with great worry.

“If you want to know him, I think the best thing you can do is stay close to him and watch him closely. And the only way you can do that is only if you work with him.”

Amelia narrowed her gaze as she tried to understand what her uncle was proposing. “What are you trying to say, uncle?” She asked.

“What I’m saying is that, you have to apply for a job in his company. This is the first step to earning his forgiveness,” He said, and her eyes popped open.

“But uncle, he is kind of…” She swallowed her words and bowed.

“Kind of scary, right?” He asked, and she hurriedly bounced her head and looked at him. ‘Thank God I am not the only one that feels that way.’

“You will have to get used to him then. There is no other way. You have to get close to him. Make him like you, and boom! He forgives you and then, I can do business with their family again.”

“Okay.” She slowly nodded and divulged a faint smile. ‘Why do I find myself in trouble all the time!’ She screamed in her head.

  • A Naive Bride For The Sophisticated CEO    The End

    ~After Five Years~“Amelia!” Elena called as she pulled up the dazzling white wedding gown she wore. “I’m coming! Can’t you stop making it so obvious that you’re nervous?! It’s your wedding day, not a horror show night.” Amelia rushed out of the room to the living room where Elena and a few friend that were the bridal trains were waiting for her. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I had to make sure I got my makeup right since I insisted on doing it myself. I have been practicing for over three years for this day. To do my makeup myself!” She said proudly. “And you didn’t disappoint me! You look absolutely stunning, sister.” “Thank you! You look so beautiful too! I bet you’ll look even more beautiful when you walk down the aisle with our father today.” She answered with great excitement. “Do you think he’ll make it? Do you think the judge would grant him a temporary release just to attend a wedding?” “Don’t worry about it too much, Elena. We already talked, okay? They have bee

    ~One Year Later~ “Bababa!” Alice called out to James, who was busy eating Amelia out in the kitchen. “James… James… Alice has been calling on you for minutes. Won’t you go and see her?” Amelia’s voice was barely heard by James. He raised his head from between Amelia’s legs and looked at her face. His lips curved out a smirk slowly and he stood up. He kissed her lips so she could taste herself in his mouth. “Can’t you just take her to school already? She doesn’t let me get freaky the way I want.” He whispered a few inches away from her lips. Amelia chuckled and pulled him closer with her legs. “I already told you that I’m working on that. I don’t want her to go to school in Alabama. Let’s go somewhere far from here.” “To where exactly? You’ve been saying this for months and I keep asking you where we should go. Are you yet to figure it out?”“I told you to let me know when you can leave the business here and relocate. Have you found someone competent to look over things here?”

    Instead of heading straight to the house, Penelope went down to the station to see Hopper and Freddie. She couldn’t keep the news of Clara still being alive to herself. She got to the station and waited till it was time for the conjugal visit. When it was time, she asked to see Hopper first. She was taken to a private room so that they could talk. She was happy she didn’t have to stay behind the desk to talk to him this time around. She was going to finally touch him after a long time. After a few minutes, Hopper arrived. Immediately he stepped into the room, a smile lit up his face. He opened his arms and embraced her. She was also fully ready to embrace him. “How are you, I missed you so much.” Hopper said as he broke the hug. “I missed you so much too, Hopper.” She responded and that both sat. Penelope heaved a sigh and gulped hard as she sat. Hopper furrowed his brows and looked at her closely. He could sense something wasn’t right with her. “Penelope. What is it this tim

    “Oh please, do you think you can scare me with those words? What can you do to me, hun? All you can do is throw me into jail like you did to my husband, then I finally get to be with him. I’m not scared of you, James.” “That’s enough, Mom! I never knew she could be insensitive about this matter. You are clearly at fault and you’re still acting so strong. You’ll lose everything you’ve always wanted and the ones you had always had.” Elena uttered. Penelope clutched her jaws and looked away from Elena. Deep down, she never wanted it to play out so badly, but now it had to be like that, she wasn’t ever going to act weak in front of them. “I have always known that you miss your husband so much. But I never thought you’d go to the extent of going to jail just to be with him. Well, congratulations, your wish would be wholly granted.” James added. “No.” Amelia uttered after a long time of silence, and everyone looked at her. “Amelia…” “She won’t be going to jail. I won’t press charges a

    ~The Next Day~ After sedating Susan to stop her from overthinking about what Amelia told her, she got better and before she knew it, she was discharged. Only Amelia stood with her throughout her stay in the hospital. James couldn’t go home either because he couldn’t let her be all by herself. He wasn’t going to let anything happen to her again. ‘I have lost her once, and that would never respect itself anymore.’ He told himself. Susan was taken to James' house after he got discharged. She was driven home in his car. She asked that Amelia let her call Tonia and explain what was going on so that she wouldn’t get too worried about her. Tonia told her she would find a time to visit her before the end of the week. She also was eager to know more about Susan, since she never caught a glimpse of her past life when she was still with her. Getting to the mansion, before they entered the house at all, the aroma of roasted chicken filled their nostrils. James smiled faintly and looked at

  • A Naive Bride For The Sophisticated CEO    He is dead

    Throughout the impromptu ride to the hospital, Penelope was quiet and in shock. Elena kept asking her why she called that strange woman Clara, but she seemed too stunned to speak. They got to the nearest hospital shortly, and Susan was rushed into the emergency ward. They were all asked to wait outside for the doctor and nurses to do their work. Amelia seemed to be more worried than the others because she feared something bad must have happened to her. “She’ll be fine, Amelia.” James tried to console her. Amelia shook her head and exhaled pretty hard. “I asked her to come with me, and now this happens? What if something bad happens to her? She has a guardian. What should I tell her if she finds out?” She worriedly answered. James didn’t know what to do other than console her till they heard from the doctor what had really happened. He didn't know anything about her yet. “Come here.” He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He patted her head slowly and planted a kiss
