Alexander was still in shock after the episode that had just happened between Amelia and Five. Deep down, he was glad that something like that happened which would be strong enough to stop Derek from taking Amelia.“Can you imagine that girl? I really liked her and wished to take her out of here”, Derek said to Alexander just as they chatted over a glass of wine.Alexander smiled in his heart and nodded his head calmly.“I had no idea that she could do such a thing”, Alexander said and shook his head negatively. The more he said those words, the more his heart sank into his chest. He couldn’t say why he felt bad having such a conversation about Amelia, especially when she was only a slave who had had gotten.“Could you believe how she tried to throw herself at me? As though she is a slut!” Derek yelled out of his lungs and just then, a cold shill ran down Alexander’s spine.“No…don’t call her that. She can be anything, but a slut”, Alexander said in a corrective manner and that made
Amelia’s PovTears flowed out of my eyes as I watched the way and manner in which the situation turned against me. A day ago, I was already making plans of how my life with Derek would be.How could Five be so cruel to the extent of framing me in such manner? All I did was being her friend and telling her every single thing that I thought of. Never did I think or imagine that she would decide to use all of that against me.And Derek, he just stood there with a look of pleasure in his eyes. He seemed to be glad that I was being punished for attempting to steal his gold wrist watch which I never did…I had thought that he trusted me, but seeing how he turned agaisnt me and accepted all what they said made me shiver in fear. Maybe it was a great thing to stay at the mansion, rather than leaving with Derek who might turn out to be worst than Alexander…“Ouch!” I yelped in pain as tears poured out of my eyes.I could swear that the marks on my back would never disappear any time soon. Ev
Alexander’s PovI felt extremely bad after everything happened. Once I saw Derek off to the airport, I returned back to the mansion and met a wave of guilt. I never felt that I would feel bad after everything that had happened. I was the master and I had to do all what I did in order to prove that no one had the right to do against the rules.“Why do I feel bad?” I asked myself over and over again as I walked over to the room in confusion.Each minute I closed my eyes, I caught sight of Amelia and the series of tears that poured out of her eyes. Deep down in my heart, I knew that she didn’t deserve it, but despite that realization, I had no idea of what to do.At this, I went over to meet with Noah who was surprised to see me. He shivered in fear since it was strange to see me coming over to hold a conversation with him.“Is Eleven okay?” I asked him and for a minute, he gazed at me as though he have just seen a ghost.I wiped off the sweats that formed on my forehead just as I awai
Alexander’s PovI opened my eyes to see that I was only having a dream. I had been so worried about how everything turned out that I ended up dreaming about her and how I searched for her.I knew that I wanted to see her. My heart was calling out for her and I would never find peace if I don’t apologize…In my room, I threw myself down to whatever to get my mind off Amelia but it didn't seem possible. Alighting from my chair and moving to the window, I inhaled sharply hoping the beautiful scenery of the garden would make me feel better but it didn't!. I found it hard to forgive myself for punishing her in such an heartless manner when I knew she was innocent. I mean, it showed as clear as day!"It doesn't matter, Alexander. You shouldn't feel guilty for punishing her. You own her afterall" I mumbled to myself but the guilt still wrapped around my chest ever so tightly. As if right on cue, I saw eleven rush into the garden in a white flowery dress. She scrunched down hugging her kn
Amelia's povWhen I got back to my room, I placed the ointment Alexander gave me ontop of the drawer. I was skeptical on whether I should use it or not and you couldn't blame me. He was the one who had inflicted the wounds on me in the first place. I scoffed in disbelief. "So he thinks an apology is going to cut it?"I shook my head at the absurdity of his thought. "How funny"Stripping off my dress, I stood in front of a mirror. Looking at the reflection of my back, I fought the urge to cry. These marks were definitely going to be there for a while. I was still in disbelief how five could do this to me. The betrayal stinged more than anything I've ever known. The fact that she went through such lengths just to leave with Derek hurt the more. Even though I was desperate to leave this mansion as well, I would never have done anything as drastic as that to five. "I guess I'm just born unlucky" I muttered as I threw myself down on the bed. "Let's just sleep. Hopefully tomorrow would
Amelia’s PovWhile working, I looked around to see if there were any eyes on me and on seeing that I was free from both Alexander and One, I made my way up to Noah, pulling him to the side. “What's the matter?” Noah questioned in a manner of urgency. I looked around one more time, ensuring that we were out of ear shot, or else the next words that came out of my mouth would cost us our lives. “We need to hasten our plan to leave the mansion” I say all tensed up and in a whisper. I was desperate to leave because the fact that I could be pregnant weighed heavily upon me and If I needed this child to survive, I needed to leave this mansion as fast as I could. I was yet to figure out if I was pregnant, but I had to make plans beforehand. Noah's eyes widened with surprise. I could tell he hadn't expected me to be this antsy about escaping this mansion. "Did Alexander do anything to hurt you? Did he touch you? Tell me”, he asked immediately. I shook my head, denying all allegations.
Amelia searched through her bags, hoping that she didn’t misplace the pregnancy test strip her foster mother had gifted her on her birthday. Finally, she found it laying right at the bottom of her bag. A small smile spread across her lips, but quickly faded away when she remembered everything that happened to her on her birthday. She recalled the pitiful look her foster mother had on her face and somehow, she wished she was given chance to spend more time with her. Her foster mother was a great person and seeing that she couldn’t do anything to save Amelia made Amelia’s heart break.For what seemed like ages, Amelia held on to the pregnancy test strip, with different thoughts swirling around her head. First, she tried to think of why her foster mother deemed it fit to add a pregnancy test strip to the number of presents she gave her. “Maybe she felt that it’s time for me to start having sex…and she wanted me to be aware of my status”, Amelia said as she chuckled calmly.However, he
Alexander’s PovI paced around my room, without an idea of why I was doing so or the reason behind my current mode of restlessness. For the hundredth time, I tried to shut my head away from thoughts of Amelia, but the more I tried to think less of her, the more evident she clouded my head. Just then, I heard a loud scream that seemed to come from a distance away. However, I needed no one to tell me that it was from my mansion. I jerked up to my feet and hurriedly walked over to the cctv screen where I could catch sight of whatever it was that happened.And then, I saw Amelia…She was sobbing terribly and hitting her leg on the hard ground. It seemed as though she had just heard a news that terribly broke her heart. My heart dropped as I quickly tried to think of what might have caused her to react in such manner.“Was she still feeling bad that Derek didn’t leave the mansion with her? Or was she badly missing her home?” All of these questions clouded my head.My heart broke as I wa
