Amelia woke up the next morning with her head hurting badly. She winced and touched her cheek. It still stung a little. She chews on her teeth a little before opening her eyes slowly.
It took a while for her eyes to adapt to where she was and when she did, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Where is this place? Where am I? What room is this?" She muttered as she gripped her hair tightly.
She slowly remembered all that had happened yesterday. The drunk men and then, she remembered slapping one of them which she got a huge blow in return. Her eyes quivered as she remembered a man in a suit fighting the men who had wanted to rape her.
She opened her eyes back because that was all she could remember and not even so clearly.
Of course, the men from the trio squad won't be able to afford a room like this. It was that man, that man brought her here.
She frowned at that. How could he just take people somewhere without their consent?
She looked around the blue-painted room and smirked.
"Not that bad," she muttered with a smile.
The room was painted sky blue; a very beautiful color and had a king-sized bed.
The bed is deep blue, and so are the duvet and pillows. The bed sheet and pillowcases had matured patterns on them.
Amelia sat on the bed, not even realizing the type of bed she was sitting on.
The blue-black curtain was drawn down and Amelia could not figure out if it was still nighttime or it was daytime already.
A dressing mirror and table stood not far away from a door. It looked like it was the bathroom.
Opposite the curtains were two brown doors and Amelia did not know what that was.
"It seems I am in a rich hotel. I mean a room this big cannot be a simple hotel," she murmured.
'Wait a minute, if I am in a hotel-' she thought and quickly push the duvet away to check herself.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized her clothes were still on her body. She wore a white shirt and black pants, so it was easy to know if her clothes had been removed. Moreover, she did not feel any soreness between her thighs.
'Now, I have to figure out where the hell I am'
She was about to stand up to open the curtains when the door handle turned and the door to the whole bedroom opened.
...
William had his bath and wore normal house wear. A grey round neck top and blue jean trousers. He walked to the kitchen to have an early morning coffee.
Yesterday had not gone so well, so he stayed a little more at home today. Today is Saturday after all and he also has a weird new human being in his house.
Well, she was from the trio squad, so she was naturally weird to him. He hoped he did not save the wrong person and had not just harbored a criminal in his house.
He sighed as he drank his coffee from this mug. Time to check her up.
He walked up the stairs and saw Mary coming down the hallway. Seems like she had just finished cleaning his study.
"Can you please prepare a bath for the guest?" William asked
"Of course, William," Mary replied and William smiled at her.
"Thank you"
"Don't mention it, dear," Mary replied and headed towards the stairs.
William's POV
I walked towards the door I had put her in and turned the door handle.
'Could she still be sleeping till now? Well, if she wasn't, she should have come out by now,' I thought as I turned the door handle.
I walked in and there she was, on the bed staring at me.
"You are finally up," I said as I walked further into the room.
She looked at me like I had cheated on her and when I was about to talk, she beat me to it.
"You," she started pointing at me
"Me?" I could not help but ask
"How dare you kidnap me?! Without my consent too!" She shouted, throwing the duvet away, it almost fell to the floor.
'This one is noisy,' I thought
"It seems like you are mistaken, young miss. I did not kidnap you, I saved you," I tried explaining as I raised my hand to show her that I meant no harm.
"Saved me, my foot!-" she started as she stood up from the bed.
It seems she did not look before she started moving cause she fell and collided with the floor.
I held in the laughter that was threatening to release itself and snorted instead.
"Who makes beds as high as that?" She muttered and I could not help but laugh
"Was that funny to you, then?" she glared at me immediately after she stood up.
'What exactly is wrong with her? I should probably have just left her yesterday,' I thought with a frown.
'But she is also feisty, I like that,' I thought with a smirk.
"This is my house and I can do whatever I like in it which includes laughing," I replied with a frown and her face turned hard.
"And you could not let me decide if I wanted to come to your house too?" She asked with sharp eyes.
"Do you not understand that you were unconscious?! You are such an ungrateful soul!," I spat angrily.
I was getting frustrated about all these already. I expected a moral and courtesy conscience person. Someone who would be able to thank others. Not someone who has a sharp tongue and only knows how to abuse and complain.
"You have no right to abuse me, Mister!" She shouted back at me
'Mister? Mister? She just called me mister?' I seethed
This lady does not know who she is dealing with but I have no time to explain anything to a low person like her.
I looked at her from top to bottom and she folded her arms under her breasts.
"You know what?" I asked.
"What?" She asked back.
"Just have breakfast and go back to whatever hole you crawled out from," I said coldly ad turned around to leave.
"I won't be surprised if it was a psychiatric hospital," I muttered as I kept on walking in large strides and I am quite sure she heard me.
"You-," I heard her say before I shut the door behind me loudly, cutting her words off.
Mary appeared just then with a bowl containing all the materials in preparing a bubble bath.
"Is she-," Mary started but I was tired of all these small talks this morning already.
That spoilt unappreciative brat got on my nerves.
"Just go in, Mary," I said coldly, cutting her off and she looked at me like she understood that something was wrong.
I walked away when I saw Mary press the door handle and headed toward my room.
I have to prepare for work anyways.

EPILOGUE TWO YEARS LATER... Amelia's POV I sat on the bed as I went through my phone and William walked out of the bathroom. It's been one and a half years since we got married and I started sleeping in William's room as well since the time we got married. William came over to me before kissing me on the lips. "You are awake", he said and I hummed. "You are ready for work as well", I stated and he smiled. "Almost", he replied before walking into the closet. He came back outside in his already neatly tailored suit and walked to my side. "How are you doing?", William said to the bump that is high in front of me. "Make sure to treat mummy well", he said again and I felt a kick in my stomach. "He has heard you, William", I told him as I gave him a small smile. "Alright, take care of yourself", William told me before kissing my lips again. "I hope you know that I have not brushed my teeth", I told him with a grin and he pecked me again. "I don't care", he replied with a grin
Amelia's POV "Why are we here anyways?", Mia asked as she sipped her juice. "Why? Can I not call you guys over without having anything in mind?", William asked as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I slapped his arm off immediately and he quickly removed it. He looked at me and I glared back at him. I won't forgive him for saying something so embarrassing in front of Mia and Leo that easily. "No, you can't" "No, you can't", Mia and Leo said in unison and they did a high-five. I just chuckled at it. "Since you guys want me to bring it forward then", William said with a helpless sigh before going on his right knee in front of me. "What are you doing?", I asked with wide eyes as I looked at William in front of me. "I don't have the best proposal lines and I don't know the catchy ones", William said with a chuckle, and my eyes watered. Is he trying to propose right now? "I know we have gone through a lot together, Amelia. So many deaths, so many arguments", he continued and he
Amelia's POV I thought of the events of the previous day and I sighed. I still can't believe all that happened in one day. I walked into the bathroom and dipped my body into the bathtub. I finally got out of the bathroom and I wore a grey hoodie and blue joggers. "Come on, you should eat", William said to me immediately after I arrived in the dining room and I walked towards him. "Mary cooked some pasta before she left this morning", William said and I nodded as I took my seat at my usual chair in the dining room. "Are you sure you are okay or do you need to go to the hospital?", William asked again and I smiled. "I am fine", I replied and he nodded. "Eat then", he said and I picked up my fork. I took a bite of my food and I felt William's gaze on me. I looked up at him and he is smiling at me. "What?" "I am never going to lose you again. I promise", William replied and I smiled. "You should eat as well, you know", I said to him and he finally picked up his fork. "Are you
William's POV I walked into Amelia's room and it is all dark. I finally had her in my arms but it was only for a short while. 'They' had taken her away again. My phone suddenly rang and I brought it out of my pocket to see Scott's name on my screen. "Have you found the place?", I asked immediately. "Yes boss", he replied and I cut off the call with a sigh. I am going to get her back this time around. I won't let anything stop me this time around. I walked further into the room and I saw a piece of paper on the bedside table. My black card and the expensive watch I had first gifted to Amelia are on top of the piece of paper. I removed the two away and picked up the note before turning it over. 'Thank you for everything you've done for me, William. I appreciate it. I guess it's goodbye though (chuckles). -Love, Amelia.' I read the note over and over again, it is ever so short. I squeezed it in my hand and threw it on the floor before going to her bed. Her scent is still li
Amelia's POV "Your father came to me on his knees as he begged me to borrow him some money to finance his business. He was going to go bankrupt", he started saying each word strongly as he walked to and fro in front of me. "I borrowed him the money even though it was a huge sum and that's because I am a very kind man", he said I wanted to spit into his face but I just brought my head down instead. "The day your father was supposed to return my money came and passed but he still did not pay. I talked to him in a very nice way and he promised to pay me the next week", he continued before suddenly crouching down to my level. "By talking to him, I mean I beat him up until he was a pulp, you know that right?", he asked and I raised my head before smiling at him. "Of course", I replied and he grinned. "I like you, you are so dumb", he stated "We can't say, I might not kill you after all", he added with a meaningful grin and I knew that I would rather choose to die instead. "The sto
William's POV "Please get in, boss", Scott said to me and I looked up at him in grief. I pulled Amelia's traveling box and placed it inside the back seat before getting into the passenger seat again. "Gold casino", I said sternly and Scott drove away quickly. We arrived at the casino in no time and people were still flocking inside to gamble "Where is my father?", I asked immediately after I saw my father's assistant. "Sir", the assistant greeted first with a bow. "Where the fuck is my father?!", I shouted and he gulped. I guess he finally realized that I am in a bit of a rush and I am not here for some greetings. He escorted me to a room at the back of the casinos where one could no longer hear the noise from the casino. I opened the door and it turns out to be an office. Father is sitting on his chair but he has his back turned to the door. "William, you are here", he said slowly before finally turning in his seat and facing me. I looked at him and he has a burning cigare
