Amelia paced back and forth while biting her nails. She had been overly anxious since Ethan was hospitalized. Now they were back home and he had gone straight to his study with his assistant to talk about work since he would be off for two days. Never in her life had she ever felt that guilty. She remembered how harshly she treated Ethan and it made her feel like she was a bad person. She didn't know he was suffering from mental issues. Heck, she just thought he was a billionaire who thought he had the world in the grasp of his hand and could get whatever he wanted. Amelia didn't want to satiate his ego that's why she often let him know his place. She just thought he was controlling when he kept following her around. Little did she know that he just wanted to live like a normal person and move around a crowd. After listening to how he got the trauma and how she was the only one he could get close to, she believed they could work together to overcome it. At least while she was stil

A few hours prior… "Why are you my friend again?" Ethan glared at Lucas who was laughing like a mad person on the couch in his office. "It's… it's just so funny. Seeing you so desperate to make one woman love you Ethan. But don't worry… just follow my advice… ignore her for a while. She will start noticing you then. This trick always works," Lucas remarked. Ethan cocked a brow, "that's why you are still single with multiple sexual partners?" "Ouch man… I just don't fall in love that's all. Why commit to one woman when I can have plenty?" Lucas smirked cockily, making Ethan shake his head. His phone started to ring and he nearly jumped out of his seat, "she's calling," he screamed as if he had seen a ghost. Then a huge grin plastered on his face, "she's calling!" He was about to pick up the phone when Lucas grabbed it from him. "What the hell man?" Ethan hissed. "I told you to ignore her and you are already excited just after one call. Don't pick up her calls for now," L

Hours prior at the CT group.  Ethan massaged his temple as he sat thinking about what he had discussed with Doctor Mateo.  He had gone to his office first before going for work just like he had promised Amelia. They had to know if he was completely cured or it was just a by the way thing.  "No, you are not completely cured until you have closure. Of course now you don't have the symptoms but something may happen that may trigger a relapse," Doctor Mateo said after scribbling some notes in his notebook.  "Ok… so how do I get a closure doctor?" Ethan asked.  "From the beginning Ethan. You need to fix the puzzle… look for what led you to have that condition in the first place. Once you solve that pu

"Royal entertainment has a proposition for you Amy. T-they want to sign you back but… there's a condition." Amelia could hear her manager Natalie hesitating to speak through the phone. Two days had passed since Ethan had told her to be prepared. He had somehow gotten wind of what they were planning to do to her. "They are undecided… they fired me now they want me back? Tell me… what's the condition?" She asked, trying not to sound rude. Natalie was just being used to relay the message. "They said you should be Cheryl's understudy in the upcoming musical movie that she plans to be the female lead…" Amelia scoffed, "so that's it? Cheryl just wants to feel superior? It's not my fault that she has an inferiority complex." "Um… Amy, I think you should take the offer. You kind of exhausted all your funds when reimbursing those companies," Natalie advised. "Well….I guess I do need a job. I'll see you on the day of auditions, then we can see if I'll accept it or not," Amelia said n

Amelia smiled to herself as she read the text from Ethan. She was in the backseat of a black sedan that he bought for her. Albert was driving her to the shooting location for the movie, soul. Ethan had gone on a business trip the day of her audition and he had been out for a week. Although distance was not a barrier as he made sure to communicate with Amelia. They would text the whole day and he would give her a video call every night. Even though Amelia didn't want to admit it, she enjoyed the way they got along. He gave her all his attention and made her smile. She grinned from ear to ear as she read through the text again. Ethan: [Morning sleepy head.] Amelia made a silly face at the phone and typed in a reply. [You're the sleepy head. Who texts good morning at 10 am. Did you just wake up?] A reply came almost instantly. Ethan: [Is that you hinting that I should greet you the moment I wake up? I'll text at 4am next time, lol.] Amelia's eyes widened when she saw the t
