After lunch, Nathan sat in the living room. He kept looking every few minutes at the direction of the dining table to see the face that got him amused early in the morning.
Amelia cleaned the table all silently. She caught him staring at her only to complete her work immediately and left from there.His gaze was strangely doing something to her. Though her heart was saying otherwise, she silenced it giving warnings mentally.When Amelia and her mother was done with their work, it was almost evening. They were about to forward towards the cottage when Nathan got down.He was in a three-piece grey suit looking all handsome. Amelia couldn't help staring at him for some moments. Suddenly, she felt an urge to see him in light purple which was her favourite colour.When Nathan turned to her, she immediately averted her gaze being all nervous and left from there following her mother.Nathan left for the party venue alone as his parents were already there.Getting down from his car, he forwarded towards the hall room. It was beautifully decorated.Entering the hall room, he got welcomed by an applaud as he heard his father Jackson Edward uttering, “Here comes the person for whose success, this party has been thrown, my son my pride, Nathan Edward.”With a smile on his face, he got near his parents who were at the centre of the hall room.Everyone started congratulating him by turns. The party went on smoothly. At some point, his father again caught everyone's attention as he uttered again, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your ears for an important announcement?"Everyone got silent and turned to him and he again got uttering all smilingly, “I am very happy to announce the engagement of my precious son, Nathan to Katrina Kaur, the daughter of my friend James Kaur on the 16th of this month.”The room got filled with the sound of applaud except for one who got utterly shocked.Nathan...When he found Katrina walking towards him all smilingly, he got his parents were all serious about it when they discussed it a few years back. But he didn't take it as serious then.His chain of thought got interrupted when Katrina got near him and entangled her arm with him.He smiled a little at that. Everyone started uttering, “They look so cute and perfect together."His mind was on another thought. Whatever got happening afterwards in the part, nothing got in his mind.For their business, this marriage was supposed to bring good luck.“It’s enough.”This was the conclusion, he reached after giving it a good thought.The Next MorningWhen Amelia got to Nathan's room in the morning to set his bed, she didn't get to see him there.Her eyes searched for him on their own only to get disappointed. Then she understood, he was on the balcony talking to someone on phone.After setting his bed, she thought of leaving but the thought of the previous day got her stopped. She looked at the balcony to know whether he was going to get in the room soon.When it didn't look like that, she forwarded towards his closet only to get the dress for him.To get her smiling, there was a three-piece suit of colour light purple. Though she wasn't sure whether he would wear that, still she took the suit and kept it on the bed.Glancing at the balcony for the last time, she got out of the room.Nathan got back to the room after the very next moment Amelia left. The three-piece suit caught his eyes. He kept staring at it as he knew who put that. He got muttering under his breath, “I don't like purple.”Taking the suit, he got near the closet and looked at the other dresses.☘☘☘Amelia was setting the table for breakfast but she was looking on the staircase every two minutes, waiting to have a glance of Nathan in her selected dress.After some time Nathan got out of his room. Amelia smiled seeing him in her favourite colour. He was looking so dreamy that she couldn't avert her gaze from him for some moments only to get Nathan smiling a little.This was the reason Nathan decided to wear this suit at last. He wanted to see Amelia smiling. It made his day.Interrupting their staring track, Mary got uttering quite loudly, “Nathan, looking handsome, baby. But you didn't like purple that much, did you? Anyways come, have breakfast. We need to leave for office."Amelia got back to her senses and completed setting the table while thinking in mind why Nathan wore that suit when he didn't like purple.Was it for her?The thought got her smiling on her own.But it got faded away when she was going back to the kitchen as Mary's word got into her hearing.“Take Katrina out and select your engagement rings by yourselves.”Amelia turned to Nathan for once and when without bothering to look anywhere, Nathan nodded at that, she felt all sad.Though it wasn't like Nathan promised her something, still she felt betrayed.Her eyes got all teary flashing the emotions of her heart. She got away immediately not wanting to hear any more discussion on Nathan's engagement.☘☘As his mother said, Nathan took Katrina out and passed the day with her selecting rings and some dresses but he wasn't feeling like it.He was missing something from within. From the very beginning, he didn't like Katrina that much.Katrina was beautiful and always trying to seem all flawless by any means but he wanted to be someone with all natural like Amelia.With just remembering the name, he got restless. He was sure she heard his mother saying about his engagement.Did she feel hurt? He wondered.Arriving his place, the first thing he did was searching for her mentally. With an excuse of coffee, he entered the kitchen only to get disappointed.Taking the coffee, he got back to his room. Sitting in the balcony, he started sipping it having thousands of thoughts in mind.☘☘Amelia’s POVI tried to get some sleep but couldn't. It was late at night but sleep was far away from my eyes. Glancing at Mom when I assumed her to be in deep slumber, I got out of the bed all carefully not to disturb her sleep and put the comforter properly on her.I straightened my pull over, took a orange pink sweater and left my long hair untied. Casting a quick glance at the wall clock which show 1 am, I got out of the room.Thoughtlessly I kept walking and reached the swimming pool lounge at the backside of the mansion.I didn't know there was a swimming pool also. The calm and silent environment of that place helped me to calm myself. I could see the clear sky and inhale fresh oxygen.I rolled up my ankle-length pants up and sank my legs into the cold water. I shivered for few moments, but gradually my body got accustomed to the coldness of the water.A soft breeze was caressing the exposed areas of my body. This swimming pool lounge was also very spacious just like every other portion of the mansion. The dim, night bulbs along with the moon light was making my surrounding bright enough for me to see everything clearly.I kept sitting there gazing at the sky and enjoying the silence of the night forgetting the matter which was the reason of my sleepless condition.Few minutes later, I got distracted and frowned by the sudden weird sound resembling to bubble popping noise or something. My eyes roamed around and searched the cause of it, but couldn't find anything.I tried to hear it again. This time I didn't just hear it, but actually saw bubbles were popping in the middle of the swimming pool as if someone was there.Momentarily, I was scared stiff. My heart missed a beat. Seconds later, a man rose up from there, making a loud cacophony of splashes. I shrieked in fear unknowingly and pulled my legs out of the water, pressing them to my chest.....Nathan and Amelia got married simply having just family and friends besides in a church the very same week. Jackson attended the wedding but Mary didn't. Though Nathan wanted to leave the Edward business, Jackson requested him to stay. After all, he had given his all life to build it, and now, his health condition wasn't good enough to handle it all alone. Considering his health condition, Nathan couldn't get to refuse him. But he moved out of Edward Mansion and took an apartment near the office to stay. Amelia left her job at Knight's Corp and started working in Edward Empire as a project manager. She wanted to join some other company but Jackson didn't let her. With passing time, Mary also accepted Amelia and asked for forgiveness from them. Though Nathan wasn't so much into the forgiving thing but couldn't help otherwise when Mary kept pestering him till long. Life started going smoothly for them.... After Five Years After office when Nathan got back home, Stella and Kaira
When Nathan visited Hopper after not finding Amelia anywhere, he told her that Kaira was the person who had requested for Amelia to give her the job there.Then their sudden disappearance confused Nathan. While looking for Amelia, he also searched Kaira. But didn't find her.Now finally when he found Kaira, he got to know the truth. He could feel his Mom was behind all this. He wanted to meet her right then but stopped for Amelia.He wanted to take Amelia with him.But as soon as Nathan spoke up about meeting Mary, Amelia opposed that, "No."Nathan and Kaira both gave her a confused look and uttered at the same time, "Why?""Give me some time. I want to pay her the money back first." Hearing her, Nathan spoke up, "How much? I will.."But Amelia interrupted in a serious tone, "No. I will pay back, Nathan. And I have a stable job now. So I will pay her back the money."Determination was visible in her eyes at which Nathan couldn't help but nodded though he wasn't convinced.When some mu
"I am here with you, Amelia. Just talk to me. Don't you think I deserve an explanation?" Nathan gave Amelia a gentle squeeze holding her forearms.Amelia kept looking into his eyes and just when she was about to speak up, she remembered her words.Either way it was the truth that she chose money over him and left him back then.Making her expression cold, she forced herself to look straight into his eyes."No. I thought you are smart enough to understand me. But I guess I was wrong."Nathan knitted his brows at her comment but didn't utter anything. Amelia continued, "You were money in my eyes, Nathan. So when I realised there was no way for me to get an hand on your money through you, I left you. That's it."Raising his brows, Nathan spoke up, "Is that so? Okay, then." and let go of her arms.He took two steps back creating a distance between them.If you are not going to speak up like this, then I think I should go another way.Amelia was confused seeing him like this but got reliev
Nathan kept staring at the door which Amelia walked past few moments ago. There was something with her, he could feel but didn't get to keep his finger on it.For a moment he got replaying everything in his mind. His phone rang off which got him out of his trance.He took the phone and stared at the screen for a moment.Mom Calling..He answered the call and after talking on some daily stuffs, Nathan cut off the line. Only after that a thought crossed his mind.Mom didn't know about us or did she?~•☘•~Without taking the bus, Amelia got walking towards her place. Nathan's word got echoing in her mind.Congratulations.For getting a new boyfriend or should I say fiancee?Though she didn't understand then what he meant but after hearing Chris, she could feel Nathan was there too. He had seen her with Derek when Derek was contemplating how to propose Bella. She was so excited and couldn't stop smiling.But if he had seen the whole thing, then he wouldn't have said that. He might have le
Though Nathan wanted to engross himself in more work to end it as soon as possible, he got out and made his way to the elevator. He stood on the roof to get some fresh air and calm himself.It wasn't a sunny day and cool breeze was blowing but still he was heated up with anger, frustration and what not.Why is she here now?Why Chris has to choose her as my secretary? Why?Nathan mentally groaned.Now he wanted to finish his work here and got back to his place as soon as possible.The girl, he kept searching desperately for years would be now just next door was bothersome to him.But he didn't want to interrupt her in whatever she was doing. She had already abandoned him years back so he should also behave now like a mature person.He kept convincing himself as he walked to his cabin. Her words got ringing in his mind only to get him agitated again.What does she think of me? I will beg for her love again.No. It's definitely not gonna happen.Though Nathan was confused about what to
It was early in the evening. Amelia was busy with her works in the diner when her phone rang off.It's an unknown number. Without bothering much, she answered the call and pressed it against her ear."Miss Zones?" a feminine voice asked from the other side of the phone call.Amelia's mind automatically wandered towards Knight's Corp. But remembering the expression, she found on Nathan's face, she sure she wouldn't get the job. So the hope vanished in the thin air."Yes, it's Amelia Zones speaking. Who's this?" She replied which trying to sound normal."Miss Zones, I am from Knight's Corp and hereby to inform you that you have been selected from the interviewees and appointed as the personal assistant of Mr. Knight. Your presence is expected to be here tomorrow at sharp 9 in the morning." informing Amelia, the woman cut off the line without giving Amelia any chance to clear her confusion let alone say something.She was sure but she made it. How?May be Nathan was there just for some w
