Amelia [POV]
After work, I got called to complete the paperwork's for my new Condo.
I love the fact that its has a chic and classic look that reminds me of Paris. The last place I traveled with my parents, so calm and peaceful. I'm a freak when it comes to home makeover.
For a few days, I refurnished it into a rustic living room, it has so much space. I colored the living room wall, white splashed with bright pink paint. That gave it a mixture of rustic and contemporary design. I feel so warm in my new apartment. This is a new beginning for me, luckily I will feel free in my own place without worry about coming between my bestie and her boyfriend. I took out time to go Furniture shopping.I walked into Home paradise furniture shop where I bought kitchen cabinets, a tall dresser, a tufted bed, side chairs with my favorite bright pink color to complement my light pink bedroom wall. A pink sofa, a Canaan oak acrylic console tables and a lot of things to make it feel warmer.
After I paid, the house moving agency delivered everything and arrange them according to my illustration.
Before I head home, I wanted to catch up with Layla at work, it has been so long since we got out together maybe this could lessen our pilled up misunderstanding. I could tell her about my plans to move out so we could stay as friends like before. Layla works in marketing department in New York district.I tried calling her but she wasn't picking. I decide to go inside her office, her colleagues informed me she had already left for lunch. I was a bit disappointed as I walked out of her office .
While walking past a restaurant, where we usually had our lunch beside her office building, I was marveled by what I had just witnessed, my supposed date and his wife with Layla looking happy while they laughed and chat together.
This is unbelievable, I took a picture as evidence, Layla needs to explain this. I asked one of her colleague I saw outside the restaurant, if he knew the woman and he told me the three of them works in the same marketing department and they weren't married. So she planned on playing a practical joke on me.
Not to mention the fact she was so relaxed after the entire incident, never bother to confront him.
That evening, I waited patiently for her return, I tried to be calm but my frustration was killing me as I paced around the room repeatedly. I recall times when Omar comes around she snapped at everything I did or say things to make me look bad or stupid in front of her boyfriend, so I usually stay out anytime he comes around to let them have their lovey dovey moment together.
She walked in , looking all bubbling, bouncing everywhere complaining how work was hectic, she really has a lot coming out of her lousy mouth. When she noticed that I wasn't paying any attention to her. She stared at my angry face blankly
" what's wrong? "
She asked looking all concerned like she really cared as she dropped her bag on the sofa.
"I just want you to explain this?."
When I showed her the picture I took, she was shock and mute.
"Talk to me! Layla, am I such freak you choose to play some crazy prank on me."
I shouted
"It's not what you think?."
"It not what I fucking what?!, Do you really know how I feel right now, my best friend set me up to look like a cheap slut in the public eye. I got humiliated and you say shit to me!."
I'm in so much rage right now.
Suddenly the look of remorse was replaced with hate. Her facial disguised suddenly dropped as she raised her eyebrow to challenge me.
"Fine, I hate the fact that I have to compare myself with you, the way Omar looks at you and I hate the fact that I feel insecure anytime you around him, I can't stand and pretend to be happy with everything so I wanted to make you look bad and I don't feel bad doing it."
she said with full determination and a big smirk on her face that says
wow! I finally said it.
"So I decide to prank you with a fake date."
I gaped at the words that flew out her mouth, not because I was surprised about her insecurity but the fact she could go this far and still act like she cared about me.
Now am really overwhelmed with reality, I got a sick bitch as a friend, I just felt like giving her a good beating .
I needed to clear my head!
"Well, you win, "
I said as I raised my hand to surrender.
"I'm so sorry if I made you feel that way but you should have talked to me, we are friends not strangers, all along I thought I had a friend I could count on but I never knew she was blaming me for what I have no idea about.
" I don't feel like been in the same room with you right now, and FYI am moving out tomorrow. "
I closed my room door with a loud bang. At least I can't still drop a bomb on her.
*******************************
Amelia {POV} With everything moving forward for me, I felt happier. I had got a new place, my job was moving towards a positive direction. I just needed to push pass my past. I miss Layla so badly but she messed up big time. I really felt like I was part of the problem, if I had not ignored the arising signals, we won't have ended our friendship this way.I needed someone to give my love to since no one could give me the love I crave for.I had been thinking about an adoption but I would love to go through a stage of motherhood to have a child that I would shower with love. A child to keep my parents name alive and remembered.I'm the only surviving descendent of my late father.Throughout the day, I spent my time thinking about my baby decision. I had a problem, once I got something stuck in my mind, I become so stubborn, I can't tak
The dripping sound of water droplets running down the underground pipe made noises that could be heard from a mile away. Smells of body sweat, heightened as fright surrounds the atmosphere. A huge figure seems aggravated by his captive's continued screams for help. His body inflamed with anger as the captive kept shaking like a bird about to be killed for thanksgiving dinner.The blindfold was unveiled from the trembling man's face, as bright light shone right into his eyes this prevented him from seeing his kidnappers faces. Small beads of sweats circled around his forehead as his body kept on shaking in terror. The thought of what might befall him tonight caused the chains tied around him to rattle the more. Even when his kidnappers tried holding him down he kept on struggling then they had to hit him hard on his le
Louis[POV]While in my office, I was extremely occupied reading paper works from unfinished projects and contracts I had signed with major top business companies around the business world.Meanwhile I had my men on alert for any updated event. My enemies may seem to have grown silent but they're still on the lookout for any possible flaw to attack again. My past had sharpened me into becoming who I am today. I spent most of my years learning how to defend myself from them. I had grown in power and had authority to control people making them fall in line to my every command and play by my rules.About a month ago, Penelope started acting up
Amelia[POV]I woke up a bit tired and happy, I love the new feeling of becoming a mother with my little pumpkin growing inside me. I knew he could feel my love from inside.I had grown the habit of watching myself in the mirror to examine if my belle was really growing before I showered every morning.Today I made plans to see my father's lawyer to sign the will he had left for me. It was time to make plans for our future. Like the doctor said I needed to surround myself with some positive energy so I joined a Yoga class across the street.After I finished sh
Amelia [POV]I heard knocks on my front door when I opened it. I was surprised to find a six feet tall blonde shiny looking Prince dressed all powerful and intimidating in a blue designer suit with a frown plastered on his face. When I realized who it was, I wanted to slam my door right away but a flash of warning from his glazing glassy eyes dared me to disobey and face the consequences. Behind him stood two hefty bodyguards ready to take down my door at any given second.Reluctantly, I opened my door slowly eyeing him as he walked in with his pride and his guards.Psycho!I paid him no attention, just folded my hands and
Louis [POV] The thought of my new feisty fiancee lingered in my mind. She was indeed very beautiful,even my men were dazed by her beauty. She has the kind of beauty that could make any man lose his goddamn mind. She remains adamant to my instructions , I had to instruct my men to watch over her, I don't want her running off with my heir. I could still hear the sound of her voice in my head . I have to be careful, I need to stay far away from her before I get addicted. After destroying the contract I had with Penelope, she still kept on bugging me with her incessant text messages. I guess she felt disappointed for not being the one enjoying the privilege of becoming my wife. I think it's about time she learnt she was of no importance to me anymore and move on with her ruined career. This new development was a bit of relief, if I had made such a mistake my son would have lived with the stain attached to his supposed, mother's name. I just hope Amelia has no dark secre
Amelia {POV} I had little sleep before arriving at the airport early that morning by 4pm leaving for Spain. I just can't wait to give him a piece of my mind, he didn't even allow me to prepare myself, all my old clothes were left behind at my place. The small bag I was allowed to carry contains only a few lingeries, not even my casual tee shirts. When I got into the airport, his private jet was ready, I am not surprised he has one. Most men of his class derive pleasure in luxury assets and as a prince, it was right to have one.When I entered the place I tried so hard to prevent myself from being carried away but the entire jet was like a mansion in the sky. My eyes are bugging out from their socket right there, It's so breathtaking , I admire the whole place as the Air hostess led me in. "This place is beautiful,"I heard myself saying I was unable to control my thoughts anymore. I tagged along with the charming Asian Air hostess who kept smiling like her whole world dep
Amelia {POV} In one day, I experienced the worst stress ever. I followed his secretary who seemed to be a nice lady from the airport to his estate in Valencia. Louis caught me off from the rest of the world when he seized my phone denying me access to the internet. To this point I know absolutely nothing about him except that he was a crown Prince of Liechtenstein. Dorothy was busy clicking, texting and making calls on her phone. I jealously watched her, it gave me an idea. "Can I make use of your phone, please, " at my request she arched her eyebrow considering it was a bad idea. "I'm sorry ma!, I was prohibited from allowing you to use any communication device ", she said as she switched back to her professional mood. My smile withered. Seriously! Even in his absence, he made sure none of his employees lended me any gadgets. I left out a frustrating cry instead of being alarmed Dorothy offered me a bottle of water to calm my nerves. "I really wish I could hel
