“What the fuck do you think you are doing? What’s that stupid stunt you pulled out there?!” He barked, with eyes glowing in rage.

The stars glistening in the night only illuminated his anger even further.

Watching the anger in his eyes was already so much satisfaction, but I couldn’t let it show.

“I should be the one asking what stunt you think you are pulling. Do you think I don’t know what you are up to?”

“I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Alex really did take me for a fool.

    AMELIA Oh, shit. Why did I do that? Why did I hit him? I shouldn’t have reacted. I squeeze my palm, then stick my hand to my side. I can feel even more eyes on me now. I want to scream at them to fuck off, but more drama will only make things worse. “Amy,” I hear Alex’s voice as he walks towards me. Finally. I move closer, closing the gap. “Hi,” he says, as his eyes search my face. “What happened?”“I slapped him.” I say, “I don’t know how, and I don’t know why. I have never done it before, but he kept talking, and whining, and I was so fucking pissed. I am not good at bantering words with people. I was so angry, and as he moved closer, my palm itched to just smack him. His face was literally glowing. It was calling to me for a slap. I should have done better, but I smacked him right across the face. In front of everyone. I embarrassed you. Are you angry?”“I only have one question,”Oh, God. Was he about to chase me out? I knew he wouldn’t tolerate this.“Look, I understand if

Do you think I don’t know what you are up to?”“I have no idea what you are talking about.”Alex really did take me for a fool. From the moment our father was admitted, he had been making moves. Signing contracts and deals in his name.Did he really think it would be that easy to push us out of the will? Gregory might be one dumb son of a bitch, but he wasn’t fortunate enough to have two fools as siblings.I was here to dominate.“Oh, Alex. My big, stubborn, deceitful brother. Do I look stupid to you?”His brows fell, but his jaw was still locked. It was only a matter of time before I got under his skin. “Leave. Now.

    AMELIA “Amelia.” Alexander murmured my name as he squeezed my fingers. I returned my attention to the people standing before us, but I was still unable to peel my attention off Darrel and the foreign woman. “I asked what you did for a living, and Jenny asked how you guys met.” Someone from the little crowd said,We had rehearsed this a thousand times so I knew exactly what to say. “Um, I am a marriage counselor. My job is basically saving broken marriages. I guess you can call me a superhero.” I said as the corners of my lips rose for a second then fell.Luckily, they found me funny enough to laugh. Looking at their faces, I couldn’t tell if it was my humor or if it was because they were trying to protect their paychecks about to roll in the next week.“About how my lovely fiancé and I met, we have known each other for some good time, but she was stuck in the thorns of a fool unable to acknowledge her worth. The moment he fucked up, I knew it was time to swoop in.” Alex said as he

    AMELIA “I can’t believe I am doing this,” I murmured to no one in particular.Watching myself before the mirror with a face fully painted in makeup, and a rock the size of a mini boulder in my finger made this all seem real.I ran my fingers through the shimmer of my silver dress. God, I looked beautiful. Ethereal even, but I couldn’t find the slightest reason to enjoy any of it. If anything, the silver made me feel like I had been chained into this decision.I stared at the ring on my finger. This wasn’t what Darrel had slipped on the night he went on one knee. The card before me didn’t have both our names. I wasn’t getting dressed to meet his associates.This night was about me, and Alexander Belmont. “Wow,” I sighed, exasperated.“Are you okay?” Joan asked, as she moved closer.“Uh, yeah. It’s just hard to believe that this is all happening so fast.”“It’s been three weeks, darling. We need to make an announcement before a bump begins to show.”I squeeze

    AMELIA“Good afternoon, Amy.” He greeted, as he stretched his palm out.His brown hair glistened under the sun, and my eyes quickly flickered at his face. A gorgeous man, he was.“Good afternoon, Mr Belmont.” I responded.The sun before me had caused me to squint my eyes. My lips moved up in a curl, but immediately fell.Well, there was no need in pretending to be in a good mood. It wasn’t working. “Come in with me. I’ll only take a few minutes.”Joan and I exchanged knowing glances before we walked with him. As we moved to the elevator, I noticed the way heads spun, shoulders straightened, and workers held onto the papers in their hands as they passed.Soon enough, we arrived at the top floor. The white ran from the walls, and into the floors. Would the floor stain if I shed a tear?“Please sit,” he ushered as he moved to the couch opposite us. While he was a sight for sore eyes, I really wasn’t in the mood to converse with anyone. Talk more of anyone that would remi

    AMELIA “This child,” I pointed at my stomach, “will be catered to.”“I am not saying you should let it starve. You can cater to it.”“How? You know I am not working.”Oh, God. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. My fingers grabbed onto the chair as I bent my head. How could I have been so fucking stupid?“You can start applying for jobs now. Get an agent, I am sure there is an industry somewhere in need of a marriage counselor.”My palm found my chest. “I stopped working for you. You asked me to resign. You said you would take care of me.”If this was some insane sort of dream, I wished I could just pull myself out, and return to real life. “I will take care of you if you marry me. That has always been the agreement.”Agreement? This was… an agreement? What did that even mean?“I thought you loved me…” I found myself whispering.“I care about you, Amy, but my heart belongs to Gregory. I was hoping you’d figure that out by now.”“What do you mean by that? He is married! H
