It’s morning already?Just a little more sleep...Amelia wiggled around on the bed. She was so tired because she had spent the whole day yesterday at the hospital with her dad, waiting for him to come out of the operating room.When the VAD procedure was over, she had to stay back a while to take care of Mr. Clark and give him food.She ended up staying at the hospital until 11pm before going back home. Even when she got back home, she still had to freshen up. So she slept very late.This would have been the best morning to sleep in, and make up for her lack of proper sleep in the last few days.Unfortunately, she was expected to be at the retail store on time to start her first day.Well, at least she now has a sense of responsibility. So she fought back the urge to remain in bed for a longer time.She stretched her body a little. A long yawn followed, then she stood up to prepare for work.She finished getting ready on time and arrived at work early.The manager, Mr. Maxwell, showed

The journey to Lucy’s house sprung up memories in Amelia's head. She had not been around there for a long time. Amelia had some feelings of nostalgia as she plied through the route to Lucy’s house.She poked her head through the window of the cab to catch a feeling of the gush of air in the affluent neighborhood.She missed this part of town very much.Something about this place hits differently. Well, why shouldn’t it?There were no dumps by the roadside. The buildings were majestic and luxurious. The cars you would find around here were expensive and flashy.Amelia had almost gotten used to the grotesque scenery that was now part of her daily routine back home.The old cars, the rickety buildings, even the people that lived around there were haggard and impoverished. She was sick of it.Few minutes later, she arrived at the gate to Lucy’s house.She waved at the security guard on duty as she walked into the compound. The security guard merely narrowed his eyes at her briefly in conf

As soon as the men drove off, the first thing that came to Aria’s mind was to find somewhere to relieve herself of the urine she had been holding in for a long time.She went behind a shrub by the corner, pulled down her pants and urinated. She immediately felt a sensation of relief as she expelled her body fluids.It was already sundown, so there were only a few vehicles on the road. Aria needed to find a way to get home fast, or she may have to sleep out here for another night. And that wouldn’t be funny at all. Considering the fact that there was no shelter around, she would have to sleep under the open sky. What if there were wild animals around?After musing on what may become of her if she didn't get home this night, she thought about whether to start walking. Maybe the city wasn’t too far from here. She thought.Then suddenly, the real problem hit her. She discovered that she didn’t even know what way she would take to get to the city.She was unconscious when they brought her

The next couple of days were outstanding for Aria. She got a raise, and the company gave her an official car. It was the first car she ever owned, and it was beautiful.She was so excited; she made some cookies, put them in a basket and brought them to her colleagues at work almost every day. They loved her more for it.Her intention of avoiding Arthur was easy for her so far, because he had gone on a business trip with his dad for a few days now. It was serene for her. No hiding behind the counters. No scanning along the hallway before coming out of her office...On Thursday morning, she came to work as usual and distributed some cookies she made around the office.When she finished distributing the cookies to those who cared, there were still a few left in the basket, so she took them and headed to her office.She was about to open the door when she heard a familiar deep masculine voice behind her.“You didn’t save any for me?”She turned around and saw Arthur standing behind her wi

The drive back to the house seemed longer than the drive on their way to the party. Maybe it was because they were talking and laughing throughout the entire ride, they lost track of time. This time, Aria was the only active person in the car. Liam had gone home to make sure his house didn't burn down, and Arthur was dead drunk.Also, it suddenly started to rain on their way back, so the air became chiller. She began to shiver, because her pretty red dress was very light and definitely not made for this kind of cold weather.She pulled up in her front yard when they finally arrived at her house. She turned off the car and looked back. Arthur’s eyes were still closed. He must have fallen asleep while she was driving.The rain was still pouring down heavily and she couldn’t find any umbrella around, so they had no other option but to go under the rain.She came down from the car quickly and opened the back door. Arthur didn’t seem like he had gotten his cognitive senses back to for him
