"Really?" Amelia asked "Of course. I don't want to hide anything from you, Amelia," Maxmillian confessed."Okay. I'm listening." Amelia said softly, sitting at the edge of the bed, while patiently waiting for Maxmillian explanation.Maxmillian grabbed a chair that was situated in the corner of his room. He pulled the chair in front of Amelia. Stared at her for some minutes, and cleared his throat. All of this time he wasted, he was busy thinking of lies to come up with, to tell Amelia, since he wasn't ready to let Amelia know who he was. "I'm sorry I haven't been completely honest with you, Amelia. I know there are a lot of questions you wish to ask and dozens of answers you seek." Maxmillian started."Exactly. You haven't completely explained to me what's going on between you, Grace, and Alexander, and somehow I get mixed up in your drama. I feel I'm the center of all this trauma. One minute you are agreeing that they are your family , and the next minute, you are saying you don't
The evening was calm and quiet. At about 10 pm, Maxmillian and Amelia sat in the living room watching movies while stuffing food in their mouths. Suddenly, there was a sound of broken glass coming from the wine shelf. Maxmillian hurried to check what it was, only to find Alexander opening a bottle of wine and pouring himself a glass."Oops… My bad," Alexander said just the very moment he saw Maxmillian."What are you doing here?" Maxmillian asked, looking furious."Calm down, old man. Today is the third day. I didn't get feedback concerning my offer," Alexander stated."What useless offer? I can't let you stay here," Maxmillian added."If that's the case, then I can help you tell your woman what manner of beast you are," Alexander said."Who are you talking to baby?" Amelia asked, her voice echoing from the living room where she sat patiently waiting for Maxmillian to return to her.There was no reply. Maxmillian was dumbfounded. He didn't have the right words to explain to Amelia wha
Amelia was shocked. Still in the dining room making breakfast. She looked at Grace, wondering what Grace would want to talk to her about."Common Amelia, there's no need to be scared. My mother doesn't bite," Alexander said, smiling.Grace laughed hard at Alexander's statement."Of course, I won't bite her. At least not yet, and for the sake of my son," Grace added."I don't think I will have that chance to speak with you....""Oh, you will baby. You had better make that chance for our conversation to be held, even though it means you rescheduling, because if I don't get to speak with you today, hell will let loose. And we don't want that, do we?" Grace asked.Amelia stared at Maxmillian. Expecting him to say something. "Whatever conversation you want to have with her should be held in this house," Maxmillian knight ordered."Of course, Maxmillian. I wouldn't take your lovely woman to a place you wouldn't get to watch over her," Grace added.A few minutes later, they all began having
Maxmillian and Amelia decided to spend the rest of the day hidden in the room. They stay behind closed doors for hours, gossiping and having a good time. Amelia had her head on Maxmillian's chest, while they both lay on the bed. She told Maxmillian everything she discussed with Grace Monroe, including her response to her. "I'm proud of you. I'm proud you stood up to her. She would have taken advantage of your calmness." Maxmillian complimented "I didn't think you could pull it off, for some moments I was scared she would hurt you". He added"Hmm, although she sounded confident. Maybe it was because she has a child for you....""I don't consider him my child. He's a grown man, old enough to cater for himself and start his own family. I have no idea why he's back anyway," Maxmillian interrupted."I still don't understand why you won't touch me, Max," Amelia cried in a low tone. "Maybe if I have a child for you too, I can be more confident like Grace. I have no stand, nothing to fight h
Maxmillian left his room for Alexander's. His rage was predictable. "What were you doing in my room?"Maxmillian asked. Barging into Alexander's room. Alexander was standing by the window with his hands in his pockets. He turned slowly to Maxmillian. Seeing his father's angry look, he knew immediately not to throw back the rage Maxmillian came to him with. "I was expecting you, Maxmillian. What did you go to my mother's place to do?" Alexander asked."I went to warn her to stay away from Amelia. You heard what your mother told Amelia, didn't you?" Maxmillian asked. "That shouldn't repeat itself.""So what?" Alexander asked rhetorically, feeling less concerned."She warned her fellow woman to stay away from a man she loves. Is that a new thing? If Amelia loved you like she claimed she would fight my mum for your heart. But no, you keep telling Amelia to stay away from Grace because you and I know that Grace will win. Am I right?" Alexander concluded."Is that all you have to say?
Amelia took off immediately. She ran as fast as her legs could carry. As Maxmillian tried to follow her, Grace held his hands tightly."Where are you going?" she asked."What have you done?" Maxmillian replied rhetorically."Are you going to leave me here and go after that human?" Grace yelled. "That is my woman!!! She is mine. The earlier you begin to accept that, the better for all of us. Get your hands off me" Maxmillian commanded, his voice deep and slow. He tried as much as possible to be calm. Deep down, he knew if he didn't tell Amelia the whole truth, she was going to leave him finally."You have started a fight, Grace Monroe. I promise you it's going to be fair," Maxmillian warned. He left the restaurant immediately in search of Amelia. Amelia had gone very far away from Maxmillian. Tears rolled down her cheek uncontrollably, and she somehow found herself in the woods. Since she left the orphanage home for Maxmillian Knight's house, she hasn't been anywhere outside Maxmill
"This is the third time you have hit me. We will fight to death the next time, old man," Alexander threatened Maxmillian, leaving the woods for both of them. He turned to Amelia. "What are you doing here?" Amelia asked angrily. The thought of humiliation Grace had poured on her at the restaurant still lingers in her head."I'm beginning to think you are doing this on purpose. Do you like him?" Maxmillian asked. "Is that all you can say? You ex....!!!!""She is not my ex!!!" Maxmillian yelled. "Everything you have been telling me was a lie? Did it hurt you to see me kiss Alexander? Well, just like him, I also enjoyed it", Amelia said. Eyeball to eyeball with Maxmillian. She was determined to know what he was going to do to her. "You had an affair with your Grace, she said it. It ruined our night. Alexander said he caught you coming back from Grace's place, only for you to tell him that she is beautiful and that you still like her." Amelia paused. "You told me that you had no feeling
"Good morning guys" Amelia greeted them, walking down the staircase toward them. "What's with the stare, haven't you both seen me before? Is there something on my face?" She asked, going toward the huge mirror in the sitting room."Noo. No, no, no, not at all" Maxmillian yelled, rushing towards her, l before she was able to get in front of the mirror."You look so beautiful this morning, extremely beautiful, that's why we stared. Right Alex?" Maxmillian called out. Hoping Alexander will back him up..."That's not true" Alexander confesses, tilting his head."What?" Amelia screamed. "You kind of look like a beast," Alexander continued. "Will you keep shut!!!?" Maxmillian yelled at him."You asked me, I won't lie," Alexander added.Amelia kept feeling her face, to know if what Alexander said was true. But there was nothing on her face, the only problem was her eyes. "Ain't you going to leave my front, so I can look at myself in the mirror?" Amelia asked Maxmillian, who was still stan
