Alexander’s 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. “You should go back to bed sir. It’s not ideal for you to walk around in this manner”, 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.“Excuse me sir…I think I just have to let you know because it’s very important”, she said, causing me to lift my head in surprise.“What’s going on?”She shrugged slightly, as though she was still contemplating if she should let me know or not. After a while, she finally looked at me.“The lady just had a child. It’s a boy”, she sa
Amelia blinked her eyes severally to be sure that she wasn’t 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. “Amelia?” 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. “You…you were the person who helped me with the money?” She asked, with tears dripping out of her eyes and falling to the ground. Alexander didn’t 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. “I missed you so much that it felt like I would die”, Alexander
It was 8pm in Madison.Amelia took off her pink leopard Chantilly mini dress, humming in the process and gazing at her reflection through the mirror that faced her.She could swear that today was the best day in her entire life. Waking up to get a dress worth over four thousand dollars was something she never believed would happen on her eighteenth birthday. Especially when she never got to celebrate a birthday, all her life.Her childhood was somewhat different and strange to her. The love she craved to get from her parents were non-existent and the man she called her father always made utterances of how he would sell her off if he had the chance to. It didn’t come as a surprise when she was told that someone dropped her off at the front of their door on a Christmas Eve, when she was only some months old.“You only added up to the extra expenses of this home. If you didn’t show up, life would be easier for me”, her foster father would tell her every morning, right before she goes t
From the car where she sat, Amelia glanced at the young man, who tapped on the steering of his Rolls-Royce Sweptali, smiling widely and swinging his body to the music that blared from his music player.For some reasons she couldn't decipher, his car window glasses were rolled down in such a way that people outside would catch a little glimpse of him. He had designers sunshades on and everything about him smelt of wealth and class.He looked young, vibrant and fulfilled. Not only that, he just got a deal worth over two million dollars.“Dear car, I love you, but I guess I need a change”, Alexander said to his car and broke into loud laughter.He had just purchased the car some months ago, but he was beginning to get tired of it. The car was worth thirteen million dollars and that was only a tip of an iceberg, compared to what he had laying in his account.The traffic suddenly heightened and all the cars came to an abrupt stop. Amelia observed how many people stared at his car and got
Something was wrong. Amelia sensed it right from the moment when the men coming after her stopped once they realized that she entered the Rolls-Royce.Sweats broke out on her forehead as she gulped down hard and gazed at the young man who behaved as though she wasn’t sitting in the car with him. “They stopped chasing me”, Amelia commented and waited to get a response from him. She was clouded in an array of emotions, and she didn’t know if it was preferably to smile, or get even more scared.The awkward silence that enveloped the atmosphere in the next minutes only made her feel worse. That was when it dawned on her that she might have fallen into the wrong hands.She bit her lips in regret and made to send a quick text to her mother. However, she debunked the idea when she recalled that they sold her out.“You are tensed and it’s fine. I won’t bite you”, Alexander said from the front seat, stealing glances at her through the rearview mirror.Amelia made to sigh out in relief, but his
A masculine figure, clad in a black coat and gray boot walked into the room and flipped the switch, bathing the whole area in warm shades of yellow.Amelia stirred, groaning lightly and muttering some inaudible words in her sleep. He slowly trudged towards her until he was some inches away from her face. With a smirk on his lips, he crouched low to take in the complete features of her face.She had a fine full face, with dimples rooted beneath her jaws that complimented her looks. Her fair sharp skin, pert nose, coupled with her rosy lips and graceful figure made her a beautiful sight to behold.“This doesn’t look bad”, he mumbled and kissed his teeth in delight.Just then, Amelia jerked up and gaped at him with a bewildered look. The next that followed was a loud scream that shook the entire wing.“Relax! I won’t bite you”, Alexander said with a scowl, wondering how she was able to scream that loud.“What are you doing in my room?” Amelia questioned, wrapping the sheets around her ch
Amelia still gaped around like a lost sheep. She couldn’t decipher what was going on, neither could she tell why he had given her sixty seconds to decide.“Three, two, one…”, Alexander’s countdown jolted her back to reality.“I will stay here”, Amelia blurted out with a puzzled look.At least, staying in such a mansion, with other ladies and a perfect breakfast, was better than living with an old man who wouldn’t stop smiling at her. Those were her thoughts and deep down, she hoped that she was correct.“But, why am I staying here? Why do I have to make a choice?” Amelia cried out in frustration.They ignored her and that only made her feel worse.“I would have her. Sorry, I broke my promise to you”, Alexander said to the other man, who quickly covered up the look of displeasure in his eyes.“Honestly! I thought I had the little bitch to myself. I couldn’t wait to devour her once I returned home. Right until she escaped”, Bobby scoffed, while Amelia stayed rooted to the spot.It sounde
Amelia buried her head to her knees at a corner of the room they led her to after breakfast. She was still it utmost shock that she failed to utter a word to anyone around her.“Hey, I’m five”, she heard a quiet voice, after which someone sat beside her.Slowly, she raised her head to stare at the lady who beamed at her.There was nothing funny currently, and her expression only angered Amelia. Amelia had thought that Alexander was a good person who would help her out. Discovering how cruel he was caused her heart to ache. He even pushed her until she hit her back on the wall.“Does your back still hurt? I can give you a massage?” The lady volunteered, hoping that Amelia would agree and give her a chance.“Just leave me alone!” Amelia said defiantly, after which she returned her face to her knees.The young lady stood up and knelt down. She stretched her hands towards Amelia’s back and without uttering a word, she started the process of massaging it.Amelia made to resist the good ges
