Amelia's POV
After that day, I tried my best not to face Nathan. Though I felt his gaze on me but feigned totally ignorant of that. I stopped walking at night even if I was awake till late being unable to fall asleep.So when I got to know they were shifting to their resort, I felt relieved thinking I wouldn't have to face Nathan for now for few days.Though I felt somewhat sad but I found something good also. Mom was right. Nathan wasn't of my league just. And besides, he was getting married. I shouldn't have such immoral thoughts for someone who was going to be someone else's in few days.But my destiny really chose not to do any favour and go easy on me.We were also asked to accompany them to the resort and on top of this, I instantly got turned into someone's personal maid. Not just someone but Katrina, the would-be bride of Nathan.What luck I got! I wonderedI was told to follow her wherever she went. She was about to get out for shopping with Nathan and I had to follow her.It wasn't like I could do anything but had to follow them.I got out of the resort following them all silently. When they were about to enter into a car, I got thinking what should I do.As they didn't say anything, I thought I need to get in the car too and touched the door of the backseat but got stopped as Katrina got uttering, "Hey, you maid, where do you think you are getting into?"I took a step back and was about to say something but got cut off before that as Katrina got uttering throwing some money on my face, "Get a taxi and follow us."More than hurt, I got shocked. I found Nathan giving her a shocked look also. He tried to get uttering, "But Katrina, Amelia can" but in between she again spoke up, "Amelia? Who is this?"I managed to utter, "It's me."Giving me a shocked look, she again turned to Nathan as she spoke up, "You really remembered her name! Anyways, I don't think it's necessary. Now let's go, baby. We are getting late."And then turned to me and uttered, "And you, what are you waiting for? Don't dream to get in this car. Go, get a taxi."She got into the car. Nathan glanced at me and finding nothing to do, I bent down to collect the money which was thrown at my face, which was now on the ground.A tear rolled down my cheek. But I immediately got it wiped off and forwarded to get a taxi. Nathan got into the car already.Getting into a taxi, I asked the driver to follow the Lamborghini in front of us.When the car stopped in front of a multi-storied building and they got down, I also got down from my taxi.Paying the driver, I followed them. Katrina kept shopping and the number of bags in my hands kept going higher.But one thing shocked me that, Katrina totally ignored Nathan's choice for the things as she uttered when he chose a floral dress of peach colour for the last time, "Not this one, baby. It's so cheap and classless. What happened to your choice, Nathan?" only to get him all silent.The dress was really beautiful and when I saw the price, I got shocked.Is this price cheap!It's of $50,000.I turned to the bags of my hands and wondered how much would be the price of all these.Right then I got called, "Hey maid, here"Uttering under my breath, "Another bag!", I forwarded towards her.I was having troubles to carry all the bags. Seeing that, Nathan asked to give him some but I politely refused, "It's okay."But by the time her shopping was done, I seriously couldn't walk with all those bags. This time without asking, Nathan took some of the bags almost forcefully though I kept refusing.But when he casted an angry look at me, I couldn't deny him anymore.Katrina almost got shouting, "Nathan, what are you doing? It's her job. Let her do it."Nathan got uttering with a little bit of anger, "Can't you see she is having troubles to walk with all these bags?""It's her job, Nathan. She gets money for this."I didn't want them to get themselves to argue on this silly matter and got forward, "It's okay, Mr Edward. I can carry them." and was about to take the bags from him but he uttered still looking at Katrina, "She is also a human though." and without looking at me, he got out of the shopping mall with those bags in hands.Katrina was fuming in anger as she glared at me. I didn't dare to get uttering anything.I just kept my head down and followed her when she got out of the shopping mall when she was finally done with glaring at me.Like before I thought of getting a taxi and didn't go towards the car. When I was about to get into a taxi, Katrina spoke up, "Hey you, maid. Put my things in this car first then you go. Who knows you might steal something from those or just run away with all of those expensive things!"Did she just suspect me as a thief!I got all shocked at this. I kept blinking my eyes to control my tears from coming out as I put the bags on their precious Lamborghini. I looked at the driving seat and found Nathan leaning against the seat, his eyes were closed. I didn't know whether he heard Katrina saying that.When I was done, I got into my taxi. Following their car, I reached the resort and carried all the bags to Katrina's room.I was about to leave but she uttered, "Bring me a coffee and some snacks. And I like my coffee cool with one cube of sugar."Nodding at her, I left from there and forwarded towards the kitchen. I got all startled seeing Nathan there. He looked all angry and was searching for something.Being somewhat confused, I asked him, "Sir, are you searching for something?"Getting all startled, he turned to me. Soon the angry look turned to a blank one as he kept staring at me for a few moments.Then without uttering anything, he left from there. Letting out a sigh, I entered the kitchen and made the coffee.Then I left it to get cool and prepared some snacks. By the time, the coffee got somewhat cool. I was about to leave the kitchen but got bumped into someone and emptied the coffee cup on his chest.The person hissed in annoyance.I turned to him as I uttered, "I am really sorry."The person was Nathan's father, Jackson. The very next moment, I felt my cheek was burning as a tight slap fell on my cheek."You useless shit, can't you even see? Look what you did to my expensive dress. Do you even the price of this dress? Even if you work for all your life, you won't be able to buy something like this, you know? Bloody worthless people."He left after yelling at me and a drop of tear got out of my eyes involuntarily. Before I could react to that, I heard Katrina's shout, "Hey maid, my coffee?"I immediately made the coffee again and forwarded to her room. Giving her the coffee, I got back to the kitchen and cleaned it.I was just thankful that Mom wasn't around. Otherwise, she would be more hurt. Completing my work, I forwarded for the room which was given for us. It was outside of the resort and near the beach.Thinking of the happenings, tears again made their way automatically. Absentmindedly, I again got bumped to someone. Being afraid of getting another slap, I immediately closed my eyes as I got uttering, "I am sorry. Please don't hit me."As expected I didn't get a slap rather I felt a soft touch on my cheek. With a jerk, I opened my eyes only to find Nathan standing in front of me. His one hand was on my bruised cheek. I got a step back as he got uttering, "What happened?"I averted my gaze and saying, "Nothing.", I left from there...Amelia’s POVGetting back to the cottage, I found Mom was already sleeping. I got into the washroom and checked the place where I got the slap.I saw a bruise there.A sad smile crept on my lips as I tried to stop the tears to roll down by blinking my eyes for few times.After throwing water on my face for few times, I got out of the washroom.Seeing Mom sleeping peacefully, I smiled a little and got on the bed. But I guessed it was going to be another sleepless night as I didn’t get to fall asleep after trying for a while.I could hear the light snore of Mom. Guessing she was in deep slumber, I got down from the bed and got out of the room.As soon as the cold breeze of the beach touched my bruised cheek, it felt soothing.I walked towards the beach and sat on a bench.Few hair strands came on my face due to the breeze. While tucking them behind the ear, I slightly hissed in pain as my finger touched the bruise.This was the first time, I got a slap ever in my life. We were poor from
Nathan’s POVBeing all confused and restless, I got out to get some fresh air. The more my engagement date was getting nearer, the more I was getting restless.Besides all this, my mind was occupied with the thought of Amelia to the extent that I wasn’t being able to get her out of it.My thought got interrupted when I got to hear a horn. A car was getting parked in its specific place and I saw Katrina getting out of it.I was about to leave as I didn’t want to talk to her. Not now at least and took some steps towards the entrance but got stopped when I heard her muttering, “You bitch, what did you do to my dress?”I turned to her being confused about who was she talking about all this and then saw it.She slapped Amelia. I forwarded towards her immediately only to find her raising her hand again.Getting in between, I held her hand as I got uttering, “What’s wrong with you? Have you lost it?”Katrina spoke up, “Look, what she did to my dress!” pointing at her dress. It looked somewhat
Amelia's P.O.V.Early in the morning when I entered the resort, I got to see her first.Katrina.With the expression on her face, I could easily tell I was already doomed for this day itself.Making my thought come true, she uttered, "Coffee to my room."Making a coffee, I rushed to her room. Leaving the coffee on the table, I was about to leave but since she was already out to spoil my day early in the morning, she stopped me.I turned to her only to get her uttering, "What did you do to Nathan, you slut?"I gasped at that. She could be rude, even slap me but what did I do to get this name.I tried to utter something but got stopped as she again spoke up, "What did you tell him?""I didn't tell him anything." I couldn't help uttering but she got near while glaring at me. Fisted my hair and spoke up, " I know what you are trying to do, you bitch. But remember one thing. You just a maid here. A bloody maid. Know your place before I show you your place. Now get out."She left my hair an

It was only getting me to realize that he already belonged to someone else.My feelings now had to be buried deep down. It was bound to be happen. But all I was remembering just last night which wasn't worth remembering anymore.When he took me in his arms, uttered those words which made me dream something forbidden. Desire something forbidden.I shouldn't have let my guards down. I should have known my limitation and stayed within it.I just wish we would have never crossed paths. Even if we crossed paths, I would have just walked past him, then it would have saved me from this much hurt and pain.When the wedding which was supposed to happen after few days popped into my mind, I got more restless."No. I can't stay here. I need to leave from here with my Mom. I need to get a job. Anything, anywhere. I just can't bear to see all this." I decided firmly and got back to t
Author's POV Hearing Amelia, Nathan got all silent for a moment. Amelia left the room and he fell in deep thought about what to do actually. He could feel how deeply he hurt her by getting engaged to someone else after saying all that to her just the night before. He could feel how hard she was trying to mask her sad expression with anything else. And the thought that he himself was the reason for her hardship got him hurt like no more. But he didn’t have any option. What he would have done! He didn’t know that his attraction toward Amelia would create problems for her like this. He couldn’t just get them on road in the middle of the night. The memory of that night when he was getting back to his room after talking to Amelia with a warm smile on his face made its way to his mind... ☘☘ Entering into his room, he found Katrina standing in the middle of the room. In no moment his smile faded away as Katrina spoke up, “From where are you coming back, my would be husband?” It wa
Nathan’s POVI kept trying to talk to Amelia but got failed every single time for the whole day. Either she went on ignoring me or there was some interruption from other people.Like this when it got late in the afternoon, getting all pissed off from the happenings all around and the ignorance of Amelia, I got out of the resort and forwarded towards the beach and kept walking by it thoughtlessly.The cool breeze and the sound of blowing water in the vast sea got me somewhat calm but couldn’t stop the turmoil going on within me.I wasn't being able to forget the times when Amelia was by my side. At the swimming pool lounge when she got all sad while asking me about my engagement.The concerned face of her from that night when I fell sick.When Amelia spoke up those words, I was longing to hear from her. When she uttered my name, it made me feel special.That time when I was with Amelia here on the beach that night.The smile on her face when I said that I loved her.Her hold on my tee_
Author's POVWhen Amelia started taking steps backward as that young man kept taking steps toward her, she collided with someone.Getting all startled, she looked behind only to find another young man standing there. Though she didn't know him, for some reason, she felt relieved finding someone there at least. Seeing Amelia's afraid face, he spoke up, "Any problem?"Before Amelia could speak up, the man again spoke up, "Wait a moment. Do we know each other?"Amelia gave him a confused look only to get him utter while making an expression like he just remembered something, "Amelia, right?"It got Amelia more shocked as she got uttering, "How do you know my name?"The man gave her a sad expression and spoke up, "You forgot me? It's me, Ryan."The first man who was all silently watching them started taking steps towards his car while giving Ryan a glaring look as he just missed the chance to have an all colorful night.When he started his car giving Amelia a lustful look for the last tim
Amelia's POV Ryan saved me once from getting bullied in college. As a token of gratefulness, I treated him a coffee in the college canteen. Back then I didn't know about him being the son of a billionaire nor he did mention or show that type of behavior to me. But after that, I got to face the wrath of other girls who were after him. Given his situation, they taunted me reminding my place. After that, whenever Ryan tried to talk to me, I avoided him using any excuse I could. I always kept reminding myself of my limits and promised myself not to cross them ever. But for some reason, I couldn't keep it anymore when it came to Nathan. I knew who he was. His relationship with Katrina wasn't also unknown to me but I felt myself pulling towards him irresistibly and just ended up losing myself. My mind chided then, "That's why you are in this pain now." which got me stopped with my chain of thought. Giving the wrapped packet to Katrina, I was about to leave but got stopped as she got
