Thank you for reading. ❤️
"Hahaha… darling. Did you hear? Amelia is fighting for her life. There's no news about it because it was blocked but I paid someone from the hospital." Cheryl took a large sip of the wine in her glass as she celebrated her enemy's downfall. She kept laughing completely oblivious of Jake's livid expression. He was upset that his people mistakenly shot Amelia, the love of his life instead of Ethan Carter. Now she was hurt while the person he intended to kill was still breathing and still in Amelia's life. "Jake? Are you listening to me?" Cheryl's annoying voice snapped him back to the present. He looked at her and internally frowned. What kind of person would be happy that someone almost got killed? He hid his disgust and answered, "sorry, you were saying?" "I said this news calls for celebration. Don't you think? We can drink and make babies-" "Get out!" Jake cut her off, anger flared inside of him. The woman he was in love with was almost dying and here she was talking ab
Amelia had a long dream. It was sweet at first but later turned into a nightmare when she realized she couldn't wake up from it. She had dreamt of a happy life with Ethan. There were no worries, just happiness and perfection. Everyday was blissful; she wanted it to last forever. But then she noticed everything was the same everyday. She kept going through the same things over and over again. It was like re-living the same experiences everyday. She realized it wasn't real and decided to make a run for it. The man in her dreams was not Ethan. At least, not the real one. When she finally escaped from the illusion, she found herself in an abyss. There was darkness everywhere and it was eerily quiet. A shiver went down her spine as she looked around. "Hello." She called out but all she heard was her own voice echoing around her. "Is there anybody here?" Again the echoing of her voice was all she could hear followed by a dead silence. Fear crept inside her, making her hug her a
Weeks passed. Amelia had finally been discharged from the hospital but she still needed to go for physiotherapy to help her walk properly. She couldn't even move her arms without wincing from the pain. Her injury had been kept under wraps. Ethan had pulled some strings to halt the filming of soul until she was ready to get back to work. They needed another artist to replace Cheryl anyway. Apart from Ethan and her parents, not even Amelia's friends knew she was shot. She just told them she had been traveling to get her mind off the recent scandals about her. This was because she didn't like being pitied, plus her friends had their own problems and lives of their own. The good part was, Ethan was a sweetheart the entire time. He was always at her beck and call. Helping her eat, walk and do other stuff that she couldn’t do by herself. Of course, her favorite part was when he would give her a warm relaxing bath. Amelia never thought being married was this enjoyable. If she knew yo
As days went by, Amelia was getting better and could now do things on her own. Ethan's leave had ended and he had to go back to work. He had been working from home to take care of her. Owen was following Ethan around in his cute spiderman pajamas at 6:00 am as he prepared himself for work. "Can I come with you?" Owen asked, looking up at Ethan. Ethan chuckled and ruffled his hair. He then crouched down to be eye level with him and answered, "not today. I'll be very busy. But I promise… once I'm done with my pending work, I'll take you for a tour at the company." "Really? Promise?" Owen's eyes brightened and made Ethan's heart tickle. "I promise… we can do a pinky promise if you want." Owen scrunched his nose, "nah… That's for girls. Men do this." He made a fist and waited for Ethan to do the same. Ethan smiled then fist bumped Owen's little fist. "Take care of your sister for me….okay?" Owen nodded his head and escorted Ethan out the door. "Bye!" He waved at him. "B
In the past few weeks, Ethan had tried his best to look after Amelia. He had taken a leave from work wanting to take care of her himself. The fact that she had taken a bullet for him made an intense guilt creep into his heart. He was supposed to be the one protecting her but he failed terribly resulting in her getting hurt. Each time she tried to hold back her pain just to assure him that she was fine, a pang of guilt shot through his heart. Guilt would always eat at him for the rest of his life. Fortunately, she had recovered and he returned to work. He found out that even though Jake Stallion had been arrested and the evidence of his crimes had gone viral. The fucker had not yet been prosecuted. It turned out he had connections with a certain politician who kept on delaying the progress of the case. Now, Ethan was working on finding dirt on the said politician so that he could back off from Jake's case. He couldn't risk him being released when he played with guns. He was
A month later… "Is it just me or Amy has lost weight?" Glenda Anderson said as she put on her bridesmaid dress. The other two ladies, Rita Jones and Evelyn Sparks gave Amelia a scrutinizing gaze. "That's right… I made the dresses according to your sizes and it's a bit loose on Amy." Rita commented as her brows furrowed. She was having a wedding ceremony after two years of being married to Christopher Stevens. Being a fashion designer too, she had made her own wedding dress and her friend's gowns with the help of her sister in-law, Jasmine Stevens.. They were now in the dressing room, getting ready for the event. "Come on ladies… I'm on a diet," Amelia said awkwardly, not wanting to alarm her friends by letting them know of the shooting incident. After weeks of physiotherapy, Amelia could now move around freely and go back to work. She had also signed with CT entertainment, the label under Ethan's company after much convincing from his side. "You already have a perfect b
"Are you seriously asking me for dating tips right now?" Amelia heard Glenda's annoyed voice echoing through the phone. She suppressed her laughter and replied, "well yeah, Rita is still on her honeymoon and Evelyn is probably operating on a patient right now." "So I am the one who has enough time on their hands? You didn't think I could be in court?" "Your line went through so you're probably just at the office." Amelia said then changed the topic, "that aside… I am trying to do something for someone and it has to be romantic. Just tell me what you do when you want to do something for Alex." Alex was Glenda's boyfriend who lived overseas. They were in a long distance relationship but he often visited her for two weeks after some months. "Is it Mr handsome? You must really like the guy if you're going out of your way to please him. Are you suddenly hooked?" Glenda teased. Amelia blushed and bit her lip although no one was around. The mere mention of Ethan always made her sto
Amelia giggled as Ethan peppered hot kisses along her neck, all the way to her chest. “Stop… we have to… eat first.” She said between giggles. “I’m eating.” Ethan mumbled against her skin making her giggle more as her hands tried to push his firm chest away. He did not relent… instead, his attacks became more demanding and if Amelia didn't have something to say to him, she would have already spread her legs for him to devour in every which way. Amelia felt a hand latch onto her breast, giving it a massage but she swatted it away, ignoring the tingles coursing through her body. “Not now, I took time cooking this food… you have to eat it,” Amelia said firmly. Ethan groaned, his rod was already painful from straining his pants. He captured Amelia’s lips and kissed her ferociously, taking her bottom lip and pulling it slightly, then let go of it with a pop. “Since you cooked, I’ll eat the food. Then I'll eat the cook.” He whispered in his husky voice then squeezed her ass a f
