Noahâs PovI was able to leave the mansion after a hectic fight with Alexander. My saving grace was the spare key to the gate I had in my hands. I had ensured that I left Alexander unconscious by hitting him with a chair in the living room. He was there, laying on the ground and barely breathing before I ran out of the living room.Deep down, it felt severe and I couldnât say if I was certain that he was alive. However, I was glad that my game was still in progress and I was the winner.With a big smile of triumph on my face, I set out to meet Grey and end things with him as well. He was a difficult person to handle and quite tougher than Alexander, but I was quiet convinced that I had the capacity to handle him in the split of a second.I made my way to Greyâs mansion and as usual, he ushered me into his room. He had a small smile on his face and I could tell that he awaited good news from me. My hands went over to the part of my pocket that had the treaure box and I was so glad t
Alexanderâs PovA small groan left my lips as I felt an excruciating pain on my head. I winced and made to move, but the bang on my head returned, fiercer this time. âWhere was I?â I silently asked myself as I tried to open my eyelids that was strangely heavy. After what seemed like ages, my eyes finally shot open and I met a purely white ceilingâĶIt was extremely quiet at first, until I heard hushed voices beside me. Turning my head to the left, I met some of my men who I had hired to watch over the mansion. They had worried stares on their faces and that got me more curious. âWhat is going on? Why are you all staring at me like that? And why are you here?â I asked, trying so hard to get to my feet, but feeling numb all over.They had their heads bowed in respect and didnât make an effort to utter a single word. That simple act from them got me more enraged. âWhy arenât you saying anything? Talk to me!â I yelled out of my lungs, causing them to jerk up in shock. In a moment, th
Ameliaâs PovNoah held my hands and led me out of Greyâs mansion. From how restless he appeared, I could tell that something was wrong.The minute we got outside the gate, I let out a small scoff and looked at him.âThis was not the plan! We said that we were going to escape much later at night. That was what you said. What happened?â I wore a confused look on my face as I looked at him curiously.He wore a small smile on his face, after which he took my hands and placed a small kiss on it. âItâs much better to achieve your games peacefully, besides causing trouble and creating chaos. At this point, none of them knows that we are escaping, and the best is that they wonât have an idea of where we are heading toâ, he explained as his eyes glittered with excitement.I forced a smile to my face and nodded in understanding, even if I barely understood what was going on. I thought of Alexander at intervals, wondering where he was in the middle of everything.âHow about Alexander? Where is
Noahâs PovI was almost at the end of the line. It was just left for me to gather enough money, after which I would leave with Amelia. Amelia was quite puzzled, and I could see this in her eyes. She was exhausted and, at the same time, filled with so much uncertainty.A part of my heart told me that she didnât fully trust me, but I didnât care much about her. I had her by my side and that was all what mattered. âEverything will be fine in no timeâ, I said to her again as we both shifted our gaze to the antique store owner who was examining the treasure with a small frown on his face. âIs this really a treasure?â He asked and for a minute, I thought I had just heard wrongly. I was beginning to run out of patience. I had thought that he would scream in excitement the minute he laid his eyes on it, but his countenance was so cold and sour.âWhat do you mean by that?â I asked him with a cracked voice, staring at him as though I would tear him apart in no time.He let out a deep hiss an
AmeliaI felt a bang in my head and for some seconds, I felt dizzy. âAmeliaâĶare you okay?â I heard Noahâs voice, but it was distinct. What was Noah trying to say to me? He had said that we were currently in trouble because the treaure he had with him was the fake. That simply meant that we had no money or option of what to do. âIâm okayâ, I gasped as I swallowed hard, trying to steady my heart that was beating frantically. Deep down I was scared and greatly disturbed. I was beginning to think that I was finally away from Grey and One. Noahâs plan sounded so good and for a while, I thought that I would have a brand new life that would be free from all the drama.âLook at that mallâ, he said and shifted his gaze to the mall that was just across the street. I nodded my head in understanding, deeply wondering what he wanted us to do at the mall.âWe need to steal from someone. That is our only way out. We have to leave this cityâ, Noah said and for a minute, I thought that Iâve just
Alexanderâs PovMy men came into my room later that evening, with a big frown on their faces. I jerked up the moment they walked in, wondering why they wore a very dull look on their faces. âWhat is going on? Did you find her whereabouts?â I quickly asked, trying to steady my heart that was beating out of my chest. They stared at each other after which one of them shook his head negatively.âShe is not at Greyâs mansion anymore. From what we gathered, Noah took her away and their whereabouts are unknownâ, he explained and for a minute, I thought that Iâve heard wrongly.âWhat?â I screamed and made to get on my feet but they kept me down with a worried look.âYou are not fit to walk around yet. Please get some rest and we would handle thisâ, they tried to persuade me but none of their words made sense in my ears. My heart was broken to tiny bits and there was nothing to do. My body ached severely and I groaned the minute I tried to raise my legs.âI need to get better. You donât un
Ameliaâs PovThis was not the type of life I wanted. Noah had made things look so easy that i didnât bother having any thoughts about what I would do if things didnât work out.We got stranded on the road, without a dime on us and then, I got into labor. I never believed that it was it, until my water brokeâĶWe made our way to a hospital not far from where we was. From the look of the hospital, I could easily tell that it was for the rich. I screamed in pain and cried continuously just as I was led into the hospital premises. Just then, the doctor walked out and looked at me with a strange gaze.âIs she registered in this hospital?â The doctor asked and for a minute, I thought I had heard wrongly.I never actually thought of this. It was actually ideal to have your child in the hospital where you got registered in. âIâm not! But pleaseâĶâ, I cried out as the pain in the lower part of my stomach became fiercer.Noah tried to talk to the doctor as well, but he wasnât making any attemp
Noahâs PovMy heart dropped in shock the minute Amelia told me that she had her memories back. That was the last thing I was expecting to hear because I didnât see any signs of thatâĶâWhat?â I muttered as she scoffed and wore a very wry smile. âYou have your memories?â I asked and again, she nodded in affirmation.I staggered and dug my hands into my head in shock. What the hell?âAnd I know that Alexander didnât rape me. He is not a bad person like you pained him to beâ, she added, with a glint of pain in her eyes.I felt a tightening in my throat just as I tried to think of what to say. My head was totally blank and I was lost on the next line of action to take.It was beginning to look like I was the loser in this game and I certainly didnât like the feeling that came with it.âGet out! I donât want to ever see you againâ, she dropped and for a minute, I thought that Iâve just heard wrongly. At first, I thought that she was only trying to joke with me and so, I stayed still and r
Amelia blinked her eyes severally to be sure that she wasnât having a mere hallucination. Alexander on the other hand walked over to her and touched her cheeks to ensure that she was real. Even if he had wished to meet her soon, he never thought or imagined that it would be in such an unplanned situation. âAmelia?â He said in a voice that sounded like a whisper, blinking off the tears that welled up in his eyes. The past couple of months was so much to handle and for a minute, he had thought that he lost Amelia forever already. Amelia gulped down hard as the different memories of Alexander started playing out in her head. âYouâĶyou were the person who helped me with the money?â She asked, with tears dripping out of her eyes and falling to the ground. Alexander didnât have an answer to that. All he wanted was to feel her head on his chest. At this, he pulled her into a very warm hug and inhaled every part of her body. âI missed you so much that it felt like I would dieâ, Alexander
Alexanderâs PovI groaned as I stood to my feet, wincing in pain when I felt a crack somewhere at my back. I was getting better and could move around, but I still felt down. The door opened and a nurse walked into the room, wearing a frown and making to lead me back to the bed. âYou should go back to bed sir. Itâs not ideal for you to walk around in this mannerâ, the nurse declared, holding my hands and making to lead me to the bed.I sighed deeply and walked over to the bed, with my heart deep in worry. I had a lot to think about but the main thing was Amelia and how she fairing at the moment. The nurse looked up at that point and took in a deep breath.âExcuse me sirâĶI think I just have to let you know because itâs very importantâ, she said, causing me to lift my head in surprise.âWhatâs going on?âShe shrugged slightly, as though she was still contemplating if she should let me know or not. After a while, she finally looked at me.âThe lady just had a child. Itâs a boyâ, she sa
