Amelia's POV I sat down there, on the floor, and thought about it. What harm could come out of me living with him? Nothing, right? I stood up and decided. I have to tell Joanna at least. I mean if I have to live here, someone has to know, right? And when I am done and I have found my family's murderer and put him behind bars, I can just leave this place and continue with my life. I walked towards the door slowly. Even though I am still confused and slightly annoyed about what William had done this evening, I still have to talk to him. I walked quickly and without any reason, pushed the door open. I was faced with a well-toned chest and my mouth went wide. I looked up and I saw his wet hair dripping, he was staring at me with a towel in his hand, which he, I assume used to dry the right side of his head before I barged in stupidly. I looked back down unwillingly. His body was bare up to that 'v' part. Looking down further would be... I looked up quickly and said. "I- I have
THURSDAY MORNING... Amelia's POV I woke up when the alarm rang. 6; 00 am. I woke up this early because I would have to follow William and I don't want anything to stop me from seeing Joanna and telling her about all this. It's not like I have another person to talk about this with anyways. I had a quick bath in the bathtub and got dressed in my tank top and trouser. This isn't the first time I would be wearing the same clothes for two days, straight. So, I just shrugged and made my way downstairs. Mary was just arriving when I got downstairs and I greeted her with a smile and she smiled back. I am going to be seeing a lot of her these days then. "Do you want to have breakfast?", she asked and I was taken aback. What does she mean by do I want to have breakfast? Do they not have breakfasts in this house? "Yes, sure", I replied anyways, still confused. "William does not usually eat breakfasts all the time, that's why", she explained. I guess she noticed the confused look on
Amelia's POV The car finally stopped and I looked outside. We must have arrived. I got down from the car and that's when I noticed that this Scott guy had stopped the car exactly where he came to pick me up yesterday. Seriously? He can't go a little bit further inside? This place can still be considered far from the trio squad! I squint my eyes at him as he drove the car away. I sighed, looking down at my sneakers before making my way up the path to the trio squad. Within ten minutes or so, I arrived at my tent and I saw George staring at me. Creepy old man. I thought and shivered slightly. I was about to go into my tent when I heard someone call me. "Amelia?" Oh, I know that voice. I turned around to meet Joanna's searching gaze on me. "Where have you been?", she asked when she was sure I was the one standing in front of her. "Uhm...", I started before looking around us again. "I would explain to you, let's go inside first", I replied and she stared at me for quite s
Amelia's POV I got into the car and Scott started the ignition. I stared at him and fumed. "It wouldn't have hurt you to pick me up a bit later, you know", I said and I saw Scott smile through the rear mirror. Whatever... Scott continued driving and I just looked outside, at the malls, the small shops, the park and the tall buildings around the city. "You must be really close to William sir", I heard Scott say and I turned to look at him. "What do you mean? Why do you say that?", I asked curiously. "He does not usually ask me to pick people up for him. Not this frequently", Scott replied and I sighed deeply. "Don't worry, if it's about the stress, you won't be in any stress any longer. I... I am going to live with him now, so you can just-", I had not finished talking when Scott cut me off rudely, shutting me out of my slow talking fantasy. "What?!", he shouted before looking back at me. "Hey! You can just use the rearview mirror to look at me and talk. Face the front back
Willaim's POV I was working on a file the Press team submitted when a knock sounded on the door. I checked my wristwatch, an hour has passed. That must be Scott then. "Come in", I called out and the door pushed open. "You are finally back", I said as he stood in front of me. "What news do you have?", I asked before he could say anything. "She met with a friend, that's all", he replied "A friend?", I asked with squinted eyes but it seems this guy is not getting my intentions at all. "What type of friend, Scott?!", I shouted and he held back a laugh which somehow managed to make a short sneezing like sound out of his nose. "Are you laughing right now?", I asked and he quickly brought his hand to cover his mouth. "Of course not, boss", he replied with a straight face and then cleared his throat I massaged my forehead and closed my eyes before opening them and looked up at Scott. "She was with a friend but the friend is a girl and they seemed very close. That's all", Scott fin
Amelia's POV I woke up and I feel so agitated. I looked at the alarm clock at the bedside table and my eyes went wide. 12:45am! I can't believe I slept for that long. I gripped my hair tight before getting out of the bed. Immediately, my feet touched the cold floor, my stomach rumbled. Great! I hope Mary left some food for me for dinner. I went downstairs and I found the remaining food in the pot. I took a dish from the rack and served myself a meal quickly. After I was done, I looked around in boredom. I had slept so early and near bedtime that now that it is bedtime, I don't feel like sleeping any longer. I groaned before finding my way towards the couch facing the television in the sitting room. I took my seat on it before stretching forward and I grabbed the television remote. I changed channels and finally, a movie. Not just a movie, an horror one I that. I beamed. Just that the movie had started like thirty minutes ago and I had missed the entirely beginning but I w
Willaim's POV "He tried to rape me!", she shouted before leaving and my mouth went agape. I caught a glimpse of her face, particularly her eyes before she left... She looked angry. I think she remembered how it had happened too, 'cause there was pain in her eyes. Okay, I think I said too much but which animal would try to rape a lady? I could feel my blood boiling in anger. What insolent?! FLASHBACK... Saturday afternoon.. Amelia's POV I was bored inside the house and Mary suggested that I take a walk outside. I agreed almost immediately, it would be like a change of view for me. I would get to see the whole compound too. I walked out of the front door and walked around the compound with no destination, I walked to the side of the house. The beautiful flower plants there caught my attention. I have not even for once, noticed the flowers growing at this side of the house. I walked down, towards the back of the house when a man came into view. Not even a man, he looks like a
William's POV I sat on the couch and took my head in my hands. Why did I do that anyways? It's not like I care that she is angry but seriously, I can't help but feel bad after knowing what truly happened. Every sane man would but this is not actually my fault if you think about it. It's not like I knew what really caused her to leave her job before. Trust me, I wouldn't have said all that I said. I am not a coward, you know. Mary came into my view and I looked up at her. "Dinner is ready, you should get Amelia", she said with a smile and I nodded positively. "Okay, I will take a shower first", I said standing up and she nodded before leaving. I got upstairs and I stood in front of that door for a long time before moving away swiftly. I don't think I would be able to call her for dinner today, Mary can just do it herself. I shrugged before making my way to my room. After some minutes, I went downstairs and Mary had served the food for the both of us. "Where is Amelia?", Mar
