MasukAmelia's POV.I didn't know how long I drove. Tears just kept falling faster than I could wipe them away from my cheeks.Everything was hurting so much. I had finally come to the conclusion that maybe I was really losing my mind. My phone wouldn't stop ringing and I knew it was Jayden calling me, I had already checked through it but I did not want to pick up his calls.Because if I heard his voice, I would break even more. And I wasn't sure there was anything left of me to break.I finally pulled over my car to the other end of the road when my vision became too blurry to see. The street was almost empty, dark and quiet at the same time.I got out of the car, my legs felt weak. The cool breeze brushed through my body and I welcomed it.I started walking without any destination or any plan in my head. I was just walking even though my thoughts were louder than the sounds of the trafficI stopped walking. Then I began to laugh like a psychotic person, at that same time I was suddenly cr
Emily's POV.The first message I saw from Amelia didn't scare me. It just made me unable to think properly at that moment.Amelia: Emily, I don't think I can do this anymore.*I stared at the screen. Fingers were just on my keypad as I began to type fastly.“What do you mean? Where are you Amelia? Please just speak to me.”There was no answer from her. I waited for like thirty seconds, one more minute, three more minutes. There was still no message from her and I began to feel so scared.I opened our conversation again. My eyes moved over the messages she had sent earlier.The messages were very short and anyone who would have read it alongside with me would know that the person sending the message was very heartbroken.Amelia had always been a strong woman. That was one thing I always admired about her even though I didn't want to praise her for it in the past because I hated her so much or because of my mother's influence.She was a woman who would always try to stay strong even whe
Rachel's POV"I can't believe you lied to me my whole life. In this entire fucking marriage, you are so evil Rachel.” Derrick said.His words hit harder than any scream ever could. I just stood at the same exact spot I had been standing for a long time as I stared at him while tears began to form in my eyes.For years, I had always been the one in control. I was the one that always had answers and I could twist a situation and make everyone believe I was right.But standing there right in front of my husband Derrick. And staring at the DNA report in Derrick's trembling hands, I felt completely powerless.My husband looked at me like he didn't know who I was anymore. And it really hurt me but not nearly as much as the truth I had buried for years and that truth was destroying everything.I opened my mouth to speak but I just couldn't say anything because what explanation could possibly fix this?What excuse could erase the decades of lies I had told? There was so much silence between u
Derrick’s POV.I couldn't sleep, not after everything I had learned. After finding out Amelia was my biological daughter. Does anyone even know how serious that meant?Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her. The little girl who used to follow me around the house.The teenager who kept trying to earn my approval. The grown woman who looked at me with hurt every single time I chose Rachel's version of the story over hers.And I had failed her. I sat in my study room at midnight, staring at the glass of whiskey in front of me.Rachel had lied to me for years. How many more lies were there to unfold? How much of my life had been built on things that weren't true?My phone was beside me. I had been thinking of this for so long, so I picked up my phone.I opened the photo of Amelia. Emily had shown me the picture, I stared at it for a long moment.Then another thought entered my mind. A thought I hated, I tried to push it away but it wouldn't leave.If Rachel could hide Amelia's real identi
Amelia's POV.I finally opened the hotel door for Jayden to come inside. I was not yet over the fact that I was angry with him but I just could not see him suffer even if he could see me suffer. That was the difference between both of us.I couldn't feel my hands anymore. I was still processing everything he told me about Lawson and my biological mother, Nina.I was sitting far away from Jayden because I did not want him close to me. We could be in the same space but there was also every right for a social distance between both of us.It felt quite relieving to know that everything had been built on a lie and I suddenly looked at Jayden."How?""How what?""How did Lawson agree to the divorce?" I asked, his face changed immediately because I still wanted to know how Lawson was able to just agree so quickly despite the fact that he refused the first time."What did you do to make him accept to divorce me so easily? I just want the truth from you Jayden. Please don't lie to me anymore?"
Amelia's POV.I hadn't opened the curtains in two or three days since I left my parent's house. I wasn't even sure how long I had spent in the hotel without even counting the days.My phone lay facedown on the bed, it was silent now after hours of vibrating with missed calls and messages I couldn't bring myself to read.I sat on the floor beside the bed, hugging my knees against my chest. Everything was hurting me so badly.I heard a knock on my hotel door. I wondered if another waitress had come to disturb me to have some food again, not until I heard a voice that convinced me it wasn't a waitress or a waiter but someone else that I knew."Amelia. I know you are in here, I have been coming to you for so many days but you haven't responded to me. Please can you just open up the door.”“You really have audacity Jayden. All I want you to do is just to leave as you always do every time you come here because I will not give you a response.”"I won't leave, not until you talk to me.""Then
Amelia's POV.I slammed the door of my office harder than I meant to and the sound echoed very loudly in my ears. My back hit my chair first as I sat down, then my head followed, resting against it as I tried to breathe. Then the thought flashed through my head again. The loud moan, the way he s
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
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
