The next morning, Amelia couldn't get a wink of sleep throughout the night. Due to the worries about the absence of Harrison and Harriet.A loud knock resonated through Amelia's ears, she thrived to slide out of her bed and open the door. Excitement rushed through her, as she opened the door. Harrison and Harriet hugged her tightly."My dearies, where have you been, I missed you guys a lot. I promise to never let you guys go'' Amelia cried out, still holding onto the twins.Amelia brought them into the apartment but spotted a black Audi car outside before locking the door."We are sorry, for placing you in a tight spot, a man threatened to kill you if we didn't comply with his instructions, I don't want to go back Amelia", Harrison cried out, clasping onto Amelia's arm. Sebastian strode out of the room, he got excited to see the twins."Omg, you guys are back. I heard your conversation. I hope you are not hurt?", Sebastian asked, searching for wounds on their body. He seemed relieved
Seattle, 22nd November, 2023. *.*.*.*.*.AmelieTHE Hall was adorned with only what could be described as opulence,the kind that Amelie could only wish for in her dreams. A cascade of crystal chandeliers shone over the exquisitely dressed guests who mingled beneath.Her heart raced alongside the high-tempo ballroom music that echoed through the walls of the beautiful room. Her fingers toyed nervously with the stem of the champagne flute that she had collected from a waiter earlier on, hoping to blend into the crowd as one of them.And blend in she did.Dressed in a body-hugging emerald green silk gown that matched her bright eyes and left nothing to the imagination, her golden blonde hair cascaded down in soft waves, framing a face adorned with delicate features and lips that pouted, begging to be kissed.Her best friend, Hailey, had wasted no effort to make her look sophisticated and elegant on the outside but on the inside, she was still the same Amelie Campbell, a blubbering shy m
AmelieAs she rushed through the morning, trying to make up for the lost time she had wasted while asleep the previous night, her mind still reeled from the whirlwind of events that had happened the night before.She was trying to prepare her younger twin siblings, Harrison and Harriet for school. Soon enough, she packed their bags and walked them to the doorstep where the school bus soon came to pick them up. She sighed in relief, glad that they hadn't missed the bus.She kissed both of their cheeks, wishing them a happy day and also reminding Harrison to eat his meal as he always forgot to do so.When she turned, she could feel the stares of the neighbors bore on her but whenever she turned to meet their eyes, they pretended to do something else.Shaking her head, she went into her room where her curiosity took over.Who was Sebastian Romano?She brought out her phone and typed in his name into her search engine. In less than two seconds, it had brought up so many results.Sebastian
“W..what?” She asked, When he made no signs of saying any other thing to her, she continued.“How can you propose such a thing? Marriage.. It's a very serious thing.” She mumbled.It did not matter if she liked him or not. she had always dreamt of marrying someone whom she was in love with. Someone that she could spend the entire day with, her entire years on this earth with and still love the person no matter what happened.She didn't want to marry someone just because a scandal had broke out.“I know it is.” Sebastian affirmed.“If you do, then why are you saying this? Is it because of your reputation? I saw that you are usually not seen with girls. Some even say you're gay.” She blushed at her last sentence.Sebastian suddenly laughed, a deep reverberating sound that echoed throughout her body and tingled everywhere from the top of her head down to her sole of her feet.“Gay? Why don't you tell me, darling? Did I seem gay to you last night?” He asked, his voice deep and husky.The
Sebastian strode towards Amelie and she cowered back almost instinctively. He growled, angry that she was scared of him because of whoever the idiot was.He turned to the man, rage that he has never felt before swirling around his chest, throughout his entire body.He strode to him and picked him up by his shirt and then slammed him on the wall. He didn't waste time to put his hands around his neck.“What gave you the right to think you could lay your filthy hands on my future wife?” His voice was terrifying, meant to strike fear and yet Amelie could find herself liking the way his voice sounded.It made her feel hot, the way he spoke because he was angry that someone had tried to hurt her.She felt protected.Maybe she would like the marriage arrangement after all.She rushed to them when she saw that his right hand was wrapped around her father’s neck, his face turning from red to blue.“I asked you a question, lowlife.” He taunted.“Wait, if you continue like this, you'll k..kill h
“Right now?” She asked.“If you're okay with that.”“Okay.” She whispered.“Great. I was thinking of a movie marathon. You were saying yesterday that you loved The Witcher books and you wanted to watch the series, right? We can start with that.”Soon enough they were cuddled together in Amelie’s cosy room which was dimly lit by the soft glow of the television as Amelie had closed all the windows to give the room a ‘cinema-like look.’ Empty popcorn bowls and soda bottles laid at their feet.Hours passed without them realizing it as they spend the time in each other’s company, laughing and stealing glances from time to time.When they were about to start the sixth episode, Amelie’s stomach suddenly rumbled, a low complaining sound. Seb chuckled, “Come on, let me cook for you.”“Ooh, so you're a chef.” She said playfully.He tapped her nose as he walked to the kitchen, an aroma of different spices immediately filling his nose as he stepped into the kitchen.They worked in sync, chopping
The sun cast a warm glow over the park as Sebastian, Harry, and Harriet frolicked around, their laughter echoing in the air. It was a blissful scene, one that momentarily lifted my worries. But that sense of coolness shattered when I glanced at my phone and saw the threatening message from Kingsley.My heart jogged, and a shiver ran down my spine. The words on the screen were startling, warning of impending danger. I couldn't ignore it. Fear clutched at me, squeezing tighter with every passing second. I had to get them out of the park, away from any potential harm."Sebastian," I called out, my voice tinged with urgency. "Harry, Harriet, come here, please."They hopped over, their joyful expressions fading as they noticed the worry etched across my face. "What's wrong, Amelia?" Sebastian asked, concern lacing his voice."Something's come up, and I think we should leave the park," I said, trying to maintain serenity while not alarming them. I didn't want to scare them unnecessarily, bu
The boardroom buzzed with anticipation as I settled into my seat at the head of the table. Today's meeting was crucial—an opportunity to seal a partnership between Eudora Company and one of the country's biggest marketing firms. The success of this deal was paramount, but my mind couldn't shake off the worry about Amelia and the unsettling message she had received. As the executives filed in, I forced myself to focus on the task at hand. "Good morning, everyone. Thank you for being here. Let's get started." The discussion began, with each executive presenting their insights and strategies for the partnership. I nodded attentively, making mental notes, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Amelia and our conversation earlier. I hoped she was feeling better and not letting the threat overshadow her day. One of the executives, Mr. Jenkins, began detailing the prospective benefits of the collaboration. "This partnership could enormously boost our market reach and brand visibility," he e
