CHAPTER ELEVEN

As she dropped her phone,her mother had closed her eyes, falling asleep, and she covered her properly before standing up.

Fear grips her as she bumps into the doctor on the way.

Doctor Steve quickly held her shoulder to prevent her from falling.

"Are you okay, Amelia?"

"Yes, Steve,I am fine. I am going to grab something for mum to eat. "

"No need,amelia,the benefactor already paid for full vvip, and it includes meals."

She sighed. Why was he wasting so much money on her? After everything.

But her heart slowly softened as she thought about how someone could help them this way,even if it was for her forgiveness.

Doctor Steve cleared his throat,he smiled slowly as he waved her.

He stared at her, wondering why she looked different.

He had liked her since college and he watched her stick to her ex, evan adrian untill this day.

But he still and not shoot his shot.

He wondered why Mr Roman Voss was helping her anonymously but, soon,brushed it, knowing he had a fiance,Carolina.

Carolina sat at her balcony,she was tapping her feet in an inpatient manner.

Why was Roman so into investigating his wrench grandma? It's not as if she died as planned.

She took her phone and sent a message to him asking if she could see grandma pia soon.

As usual,he didn't reply.

He was not like this before! She clenched her fist as she walked back into her room.

She dialed a number.

"How much did you tell him?"

"I only told him.. I told him I was only asking amelia,..for help."

The voice over the phone was frantic and restless,stuttering as hell.

Carolina smirked cunningly.

"You are not so foolish after all. Now,listen,if he keeps pestering you,make amelia the culprit,pin it on her, and -"

"I can't do that! Miss Carolina,I can't keep hurting amelia,I only did this because I needed money for something urgent."

She cried softly, pleading with Carolina as Carolina scoffed.

"What a loyal colleague,but believe me,if you dare mention my name.You are doom! You see, that stupid son of yours you have with that drunkard husband of yours,he would be gone!Try me!" Carolina barked and then hanged up,throwing the phone across the room. It made a creaking sound,scattering into pieces.

Ria wondered how Carolina Walker knew so much about her,she was really ruthless as they said.

But Ria had her mind made up,but will Roman believe her over his fiancée? She recalled two days ago when she saw Zelda at the supermarket,but she had hidden her face..

The same Zelda whom she used to gist with when they first met.

She regretted what she had done, but it was all for her son.

Then it hit her,

Carolina had threatened her family!

She began to sob as she laid back in her room in tears.

As amelia walked out,she booked a ride back home, but on her way,she kept thinking about the message, and she was extra conscious.

Looking everywhere with a scared expression, even the driver was tempted to ask her what happened.

As she stepped into her room,she fell asleep almost immediately.

"Amelia,food is ready,you need to sign up." Zelda's voice was heard loud from the door.

"I am coming," she replied, standing up but falling back down due to tiredness.

She sighed deeply. Why was she numb.Her body was extra tired.She quickly wiped the tears threatening to fall from her as

Zelda walked in.

"What is it? Are you crying?"

"No,Zelda,something -"

"Is it the pregnancy hormones?"

She wanted to speak, to tell her someone threatened her, but she didn't want Zelda to worry too much.

"Are you hiding anything from me?" Zelda asked, concerned etched on her pretty face.

"I am fine,I am just,dont worry,let's go and eat first,"

The next day,she was dressed already,making toast bread when Zelda walked in.

"To where Amy?"

"I am going to search for a job,I can't keep staying this way,"

"No,you are not healed yet beside,the money from Mum's helper is still enough to last us for months."

She smiled sadly,"Zelda,I need to get a job,just get dressed and get to school on time,okay?" She pecked her sister in her forehead as Zelda watched her leave.

Later,she walked past the hospital receptionshe had gone job hunting, and found none. She would go again the next day.

She was determined, and she had a plan

To pay Roman Voss the money he spent on them so she won't have to owe him any dim.

As she walked into her mother's ward,who she saw made her heart beat race.

Why am I feeling this jiggy? She stared at him as he turned back freezing, too.

Roman Voss stared at her,he didnt know how much he had missed her until now,he wanted to hug her, but she would probably push him to the ground.

She faked a smile.

"Goodnevening mum,who is this?"-

Her mother slowly raised her head.

"Amelia,meet Roman,he was the one who paid my bills!" Her mother spoke,gratitude evident in her tone.

Amelia scoffed internally but sweetly turned to Roman.

"Thank you so much, sir." He smiled softly,wondering why she was acting like she had never met him before.

"Meet me, outside," she muttered angrily,then faced her mum.

"I need to get something mum."

A few minutes later,he walked out.

"What are you doing here?" Her murderous vouce shook him,he stepped towards her.

"I just came to say hi to your mum,"

"Why are you helping us?"

"I just want to,I feel guilty for what i did to you."

Her heart beat quickened as he stepped forward,she placed her back on the wall for support as he moved closer.

"I am sorry for all that has happened,I am -"

She stared at his moving lips, unable to comprehend anything.She wondered how they tasted,she wanted to feel them, but when she realised where she was, she quickly put her hand in his chest.

"Step back,you are invading my privacy! " She softly said,already breathless from the cross proximity, but he didn't pull away.

He missed her,he hadn't seen her in like a week, and before she could protest,he pulled her against his chest, wrapping his arms around her.

She frozed.His head fell in her shoulder as he hugged her tightly,instinct making her hold her tummy.

He noticed. As he reluctantly let go.She felt it,an undeniable pull, and for a second,she wanted to lean in to the hug him but slowly stopped herself as she remembered the threat message

She chuckled, like the sad kind of one with her lips curled up.

"Listen, Roman,this your nonsense you are doing has to stop!"

Thank God for the empty hallway because her voice had risen with uncontrollable anger.

He frozed,shocked she had such an authoritative voice that could also sound sexy.

"I-"

She raised her hand as if to tell him'stop'

"I will pay you back every damn penny you spent on my family and I,and in turn,stay away from us!"

She barked out slowly, lowering her voice as she held her tummy..

Hi eyes shift, but he didn't notice anything too usual.

"-I am not going to leave because you said so."
