LOGINJayden's POV.“Stop staring at me like that,” Amelia muttered without looking at me. I wondered how she could even catch me staring at her.“I literally cannot help it, my love. At least you can make it easier by making your face visible enough to me so I can stare harder and get lost in you.” I teased.“When did you become this poetic?”“I had to learn how to be poetic, just for your sake. So I can always sing your praises, my only beloved.”“Jayden, do you know that there has been something I have been willing to say to you since we got here.”“And what is it? You can speak, baby. I'm all ears.” I said as she urged me to come closer to her, which I did. Then she leaned forward to me, with the intention of whispering the words in my ears.“I just want to tell you that you aren't anywhere close to being serious.” she screamed out loudly, pulling back immediately before I could grab her and she began to laugh out with so much excitement displayed on her face.“Oops. I guess someone jus
Jayden's POV.“This is officially the weirdest date anyone has ever taken me on,” Amelia said as she stared around the graveyard again.“You are being dramatic right now.”“I am being realistic. People usually go to restaurants, parks, cinemas, not where dead people are peacefully minding their business.” she added. I found myself laughing.“There’s literally a beautiful field behind this place.”“And there are literally dead people in front of it,” she argued.“You complain too much, Amelia.”“You kidnapped me to a graveyard. Do you realize that?”“You still followed me willingly.”“That’s because I trusted you.” she said and I just stared at her.“Well,” I cleared my throat quickly. “You should be thanking me because I just introduced you to the best place in the city.” I said as Amelia crossed her arms dramatically.“I’ll decide after proper inspection.”“Yes ma'am. Then inspect away, princess.” I said, bowing my head slightly. As she burst into laughter immediately.Oh my gosh. I
Jayden's POVI sighed, finally giving up the pretense that I had been working. I have been hunched over my desk and staring at my computer screen for hours now but in all honesty, my thoughts have been everywhere but at the stupid financial mistake the marketing team was planning to make.There were more pressing things, matters that actually touched my heart. I made my way out of the study and headed straight for Amelia's room. I didn't know what to do about the awful mood she's been in.She has refused to come out since we returned from the orphanage, It was already a solid day ago, how then did I imagine she was going to deal with the newest information I found out?I had come in earlier with breakfast in tow but she had been asleep and without anything more to do, I had left. What was the worse thing that would happen if I walked into the room and forced her out to talk to me? To see her flash that shy smile at me or to beg her to go back to annoying the living hell out of me? W
Jayden’s POVI did not sleep properly after what happened with Lawson. Even after I threw him out of my penthouse, I still kept hearing Amelia’s voice in my head.Her words deliberately stayed with me the entire night. The next morning, I found her standing near the balcony with a cup of coffee in her hand. She looked lost in her thoughts again.“Did you even sleep?” I asked as I walked toward her.“A little.”“You are lying. You didn't sleep at all.” I said, as she smiled at me, then I moved closer to her.“You know me too well already.”“What’s going on inside your head?”“I want to go somewhere.”“Where?”“The orphanage.”“Are you talking about the orphanage you grew up in?”“Yes. That one, I keep thinking about that photograph,” she whispered. “Jayden. I need answers.”I looked at her carefully. She looked nervous and restless, all at the same time. Like somebody standing at the edge of a cliff without knowing if the next step would kill her or save her.“You really want to do thi
Amelia's POV.I was sitting alone in Jayden’s penthouse when the doorbell rang.Jayden was upstairs taking a work call while I stayed in the living room trying to calm my restless mind. Ever since I found that photograph inside Rachel’s drawer, nothing inside me had remained the same anymore.Everything felt wrong in my life. I wish I was still aching, at least I wouldn't have such problems. Since I became a full grown adult, my whole life had cracks in it and I was only beginning to notice them.The door bell rang, I stood up slowly to go and down it because I had ordered for pizza since I was craving it. So it was definitely the delivery guy at the door.“I’m coming," I muttered, rushing towards the door as I opened the door. Immediately I did it, I regretted it instantly.Lawson was standing in front of me and my whole mood changed for the worse.“What are you doing here?” I asked, He leaned casually against the doorframe like it was his house.“Won’t you invite your husband inside
Rachel's POV.The moment Amelia left the house, something inside me refused to ignore the glaring stares I got from her.I stood in the living room pretending to listen to Derrick complain about her while my head was going through thinking too much.“She has become too disrespectful,” Derrick muttered. “Ever since she got involved with Jayden, she suddenly thinks she can challenge everybody.”I barely heard him. My mind was still upstairs, it kept on telling me that she didn't go to the bathroom. That was just an excuse for her, the only place that was closer to the bathroom was my room.I was the only one who could understand the feeling I had when Amelia looked at me before leaving.That look wasn’t a normal one I always got from her. She literally saw me as her Idol, and she would always behave so sweetly with me whenever she came around. But today I could see that her eyes were searching my face for answers.Everything was just so suspicious to me that I couldn't ignore it anymore
Amelia's POV.At first, when Jayden kissed me I was surprised. I didn't expect him to do that, he was the last person I would ever think would come close to me willingly without having to do anything to seduce him.I mean I will try to get close to him. But he would always look at me in a way to ma
Amelia's POV.The first thing I heard was the beeping sound of the machine. Then, that strong hospital smell that made everything seem real to me.My eyes felt heavy when I tried to open them. My head was aching badly, not as bad as before but I could still feel the headache.my vision finally clea
Amelia's POV.I held my phone so tightly, my finger started hurting. The email notification sat at the top of my screen, unopened, like a bomb waiting to explode.For a few seconds. I couldn't bring myself to tap it. Because once I did, everything would become real.My future, my humiliation, my p
Jayden's POV.“Shit” I cursed under my breath as I watched Amelia walk out. For a moment, I couldn’t believe how she was able to pull every single person on her side. She literally expressed her feelings before everyone without any fear or hesitation, and even after the meeting ended, her voice k
