The Amnesiac’s Redemption Chapter Thirteen: A Songbird’s Self-Doubt
“The Songbird.” When people say that name now, it’s only full of scorn and distaste. The love that everyone once poured into the name was nothing but a broken memory after the time she spent in jail over the DWI. Heinous rumors like these were what kept her head low and she tried to work somewhere she wouldn’t be identified so easily. A bustling, fancy restaurant like this isn’t surprising; it has quite a few people who love music and are very familiar with musicians. Aria seemed to shrink in her seat as she looked out the window where she sat in the booth, silently and desperately wishing that this “lunch” would end soon. She did her best to block out the whispers full of cruel words and mocking her career because of alcohol abuse and murdering a member of her band. She had grown used to blocking out the voices full of intentions to harm her feelings, it was a skill she learned back in high school. When Lucas would torment her endlessly…As soon as the reminder of the abuse crossed
The Amnesiac’s Redemption Chapter Fourteen: Songbird’s Solace
There was a silence between the two of them as the atmosphere between them changed. Aria could already feel herself sweat and her hands become clammy. She was purposely trying to make her body as stiff as a board in an attempt to keep herself from trembling. Unfortunately, her hands still had the faintest shake. Old habits die hard. Her childhood trauma was starting to creep back into her brain even though she thought she had grown out of it years ago. Being inches away from the man who gave this to her and hearing the hostility in his voice was enough to trigger an anxiety attack but thankfully she had enough strength to keep that much under control. Lucas’s angered frown melted into disappointment. He may not know what the real problem is so all he could do was assume. “Listen, if you’re worried about what your boss is going to do then don’t. I’ll take the fall. I got your back, I promise. I’m sure that Roxanne chick is gone by now too.”“Don’t promise me something that you don’t k
The Amnesiac’s Redemption Chapter Fifteen: Conflicting Feelings
Another blush burned Aria’s cheeks as her eyes locked with his. It was as if her thoughts were a wish that had just come true, except this ‘touch’ she was yearning for ended up being more provocative than what she bargained for. And yet, she still didn’t complain. Lucas on the other hand noticed her flustered state and it confused him until he realized how high his hand had rested on her thigh, he only intended to generally lay it on her lap in an attempt to softly catch her attention.Lucas quickly removed his hand as her blush seemed to have just copied and pasted onto his cheeks as well. “Oh! Uh, I- I’m sorry! I didn’t…” His clumsy apology wasn’t exactly making his situation any better so he hurriedly cleared his throat and changed the subject. “Um, I’ll grab the food…” He did as he said and even opened up Aria’s door for her to get out of the car, the man continuing to behave like a gentleman though when they both came inside the work building, there was nothing but an awkward si
The Amnesiac’s Redemption Chapter 16 : Still a Bully?
“Lucas…?” Aria murmurs his name concernedly. His sudden change in demeanor was a bit alarming and it only grew more alarming when she noticed the look in his eyes. It was hostile. However, it was also directed at her other client. Lucas was glaring at him to the point she couldn’t tell whether or not he was purposely doing it. Aria may have been completely confused over what was going on but her other client could get the hint. He glared back at Lucas and there was even the faintest hint of a sneer on his face. “Isn’t your appointment supposed to be over with? I’m pressed for time. I need Ms. La Belle’s full concentration. If you don’t mind, please excuse yourself.” Despite the man’s polite words, the look in his eyes told a different story. They displayed how much of a nuisance he thought Lucas was being. Aria was blind to the fact he was trying to provoke Lucas but a man like him, as she was well aware of, wasn’t the type to back down so easily.Lucas stepped closer to the other m
The Amnesiac’s Redemption Chapter 17 : Having Doubts
As Lucas drove off away from the company, he glanced at his rearview mirror before the building was out of sight. He caught a glimpse of Aria hugging herself and her head hung as she went back inside. Despite the distance between them, he could still tell that her face looked very sad. He felt a clutching feeling in his chest and he gripped the steering wheel just as tightly.It was hard, trying to keep himself under control. Why was it such a struggle when it came to her? Somehow, it felt like it’s always been this way… why is that?Either way, he didn’t get what he needed. At least not everything, and he didn’t care about it. All he wanted to do in the first place was to go see Aria and spend time with her. So much for that plan for the day. There was nothing else for him here so he decided he’s got no other choice than to go back to work. As soon as he drove back into the Augustine Company’s parking lot, he saw that there were more cars there than usual to the point that he had to
The Amnesiac’s Redemption Chapter 18: Proposal to Betrothed
“Seriously? That doesn’t exactly seem like a big deal to me.” Lucas says nonchalantly while crossing his arms. Mason slaps his forehead. It shouldn’t be a surprise that business deals and stuff like this don’t interest him, especially now that he’s no longer the heir of the company. “It doesn’t matter what you think of it anymore.” Mason’s reminder is blunt and it made Lucas’s brows furrow grumpily. It was true that he never took his position as heir seriously but after everything that’s happened, he was beginning to think it was a mistake to step down from his position. Lucas releases a tired sigh before waving his hand. “Alright, I’ll go see him. I’ll catch you later,” he says before leaving.Once Lucas turned his back on him and began to walk away, Mason’s sarcasm slowly melted into depression. He wishes he could tell his best friend everything that’s been going on behind the scenes. How corrupt and unpredictable his uncle is, and how much he has it out for him. He honestly felt
The Amnesiac’s Redemption Chapter 19: Cure to Trouble
“Yes. I understand the situation. I won’t let you down, sir.”Aria’s words are chosen carefully as she speaks over the phone with her landlord. Though she was trying to sound confident, there was still a crack in her voice as she struggled to keep herself together. A last-minute call from your landlord before night falls is the last thing anybody would want. It spells dread. And dreadful it was indeed. As soon as Aria hangs up the phone, she lets out a tired sigh. Her landlord just raised the rent and in all honesty, she did not understand the situation at all. It almost sounded as if he was fishing for money. She runs her fingers through her lengthy, black hair as she tries to keep herself together. No matter how hard she tried, things seemed to never get any better for her. As she pitied herself, only one thought crossed her mind that eased her mind ever so slightly, only one image in her head that made her look forward to another day. Spending more time with Lucas. As the rest of
The Amnesiac’s Redemption Chapter 20:Turmoil
The closeness of their bodies and the short distance between their faces came to a halt and Lucas was the first to pull away. This surprised Aria since he was usually so keen on touching her and getting close to her. Aria tried not to think too hard about it because she knew she’d only end up disappointing herself. But this did make it easier for her to make up her mind. “It’s… it’s a long story not worth getting into.” Aria murmured as she looked away from him. She lost her nerve once again. There was no way she could tell Lucas what she did three years ago. Lucas could tell that she was still holding back and he couldn’t understand why. If there’s one thing he couldn’t understand, it was living a life you didn’t want to live. Despite the way he withdrew from her when their bodies became too close, he still rested his bigger hand on top of hers. But that simple act of comfort revealed something that he wasn’t yet ready to share.Aria sees the ring on his finger. She immediately ri
