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
Amelia’s PovThere was no way I was in my room. The bed I currently felt on my back was so soft that I could swear that I might be in heaven. However, there was no way that was possible because I was currently hearing the sound coming from someone…a slight snore.I left my eyes closed as I wasn’t ready to open them yet. I shivered slightly and suddenly felt sick while trying to recall all what had happened the last day.Just then, it clicked in my head; I was pregnant for Alexander.I jerked out of the bed that instant, with my heart beating frantically and my body shivering out of fear. The figure I saw laying on the bed made me gasp in shock and for a moment, I resolved that it was only a dream.However, this was not a dream because I was currently in Alexander’s room, standing before him and watching him while he slept.“What the hell!” I muttered under my breath as I struggled to remain standing.I remembered that I had gone out in the cold where I screamed and went on to cry my e
Alexander’s PovI swallowed hard as I looked into Amelia’s fierce, but cold eyes. She had a lot of questions running through them and the last thing I wanted at this moment was giving her an answer which I had no idea of.I wasn’t clear on why I brought her into my quarters, neither was I clear on why I wasn’t willing to let her go already.“Let go of me!” She yelled out of her lungs as she pushed me away right until I fell to the ground.“Don’t you dare lay those hands on me or else, I would…”, she suddenly trailed off while I stared at her with an interesting look on my face.“Or else what?” I asked, gesturing for her to proceed with whatever it was she was about to say.She took in a deep breath and clenched her fist in rage. Her expression at the moment was extremely funny that I didn’t realize when I started laughing out of my lungs.“You amaze me…eleven! Haven’t I gone hard enough on you? What else do you want me to do in a bid to prove that I am your master! That I bought you a
Alexander’s PovHer name slipped off my mouth and I pinched myself silently for making such a mistake. How and why was it easy for me to easily say her name as though she belonged to me? She belonged to me, but the feeling of her name on my lips felt a lot more personal than I wanted it to be.“Did you call me Amelia?” She asked in a voice that sounded like a whisper, peering into my eyes while trying to believe her ears.I scanned through different thoughts on my head, trying to think of a perfect reason to give.“I was only trying to say that I would never call you by your name…”, I said as I quickly cleared my throat, darting my eyes away from her almost immediately.She was confused and seemed to be searching through my mind, but luckily, my room bell rang. I looked at the cctv screen close to where I was and discovered that one of the servants were here to deliver the breakfast.“You can leave”, I said to him the moment I opened the door.I would never allow any of the servant
Amelia’s PovTwo days later, I decided to go on a quest to learn more about Alexander. He was at the garden and I made use of that opportunity. For a while, I observed his daily routine and from what I gathered, he usually spent most of his time at the garden during evenings. That simply meant that I had the whole of the evening to dig into his profile and learn more about him.One was becoming more of a thorn in my flesh. She had bugged me continuously about what I had to do with Alexander and when I failed to reply, she kept threatening me and informing me of how she would greatly punish me if I ever crossed her line. That was the least of what concerned me at the moment. I was pregnant and there was need for me to know what to do at the moment. Perhaps, digging through his things would give me a hint of what I can do to escape…At this, I walked into his room and since I was the only one with an idea of how to open it, I sneaked into it. His room was empty just as I had thought
