Amelia's POV I got into the car and Scott started the ignition. I stared at him and fumed. "It wouldn't have hurt you to pick me up a bit later, you know", I said and I saw Scott smile through the rear mirror. Whatever... Scott continued driving and I just looked outside, at the malls, the small shops, the park and the tall buildings around the city. "You must be really close to William sir", I heard Scott say and I turned to look at him. "What do you mean? Why do you say that?", I asked curiously. "He does not usually ask me to pick people up for him. Not this frequently", Scott replied and I sighed deeply. "Don't worry, if it's about the stress, you won't be in any stress any longer. I... I am going to live with him now, so you can just-", I had not finished talking when Scott cut me off rudely, shutting me out of my slow talking fantasy. "What?!", he shouted before looking back at me. "Hey! You can just use the rearview mirror to look at me and talk. Face the front back

Amelia's POV I woke up and I feel so agitated. I looked at the alarm clock at the bedside table and my eyes went wide. 12:45am! I can't believe I slept for that long. I gripped my hair tight before getting out of the bed. Immediately, my feet touched the cold floor, my stomach rumbled. Great! I hope Mary left some food for me for dinner. I went downstairs and I found the remaining food in the pot. I took a dish from the rack and served myself a meal quickly. After I was done, I looked around in boredom. I had slept so early and near bedtime that now that it is bedtime, I don't feel like sleeping any longer. I groaned before finding my way towards the couch facing the television in the sitting room. I took my seat on it before stretching forward and I grabbed the television remote. I changed channels and finally, a movie. Not just a movie, an horror one I that. I beamed. Just that the movie had started like thirty minutes ago and I had missed the entirely beginning but I w

William's POV I sat on the couch and took my head in my hands. Why did I do that anyways? It's not like I care that she is angry but seriously, I can't help but feel bad after knowing what truly happened. Every sane man would but this is not actually my fault if you think about it. It's not like I knew what really caused her to leave her job before. Trust me, I wouldn't have said all that I said. I am not a coward, you know. Mary came into my view and I looked up at her. "Dinner is ready, you should get Amelia", she said with a smile and I nodded positively. "Okay, I will take a shower first", I said standing up and she nodded before leaving. I got upstairs and I stood in front of that door for a long time before moving away swiftly. I don't think I would be able to call her for dinner today, Mary can just do it herself. I shrugged before making my way to my room. After some minutes, I went downstairs and Mary had served the food for the both of us. "Where is Amelia?", Mar

Mirabel's POV I walked into my son's house just to see a fair color, brunette haired lady standing in front of the couch. 'Who is she?', was the first question that shot up to my brain immediately I saw her. 'A one night stand?', another thought came. Only that if she was one of William's night stands, she should have left by now and also at his house? Would he take a night stand to his house? Not sure about that. Even if she is a night stand, I am overjoyed. My son has never been with any girl intimately before, well not in front of me. The girls I knew, he made sure to let me know that they were just his friends. I stared at the lady in front of me. She was looking at me in surprise too. "Who-?", I started to speak up, the silence in the room was getting too much and unbearable for me. "I guess I would have to introduce you two", William's voice rang from my side as he continued speaking. The next thing I knew was that I was holding this young lady's hand. William had int

Amelia's POV William's Mom made me sit beside William at one side of the long table. Mia and Leo sat on the other side and William's Mom sat at the head of the table. We sat more closer to her though with William on her right hand side and Leo on the left hand side. We had lunch in peace that way with no one saying a thing. Good table manners, if you would ask me. I could not help but notice the show of public affection between Leo and Mia during lunch though. For example, how he kept placing more side dishes in Mia plate and the sweet smile she would always give him after. I had turned to look at William to see if he saw them as well but the man just kept eating like he had not eaten all day. I rolled my eyes at him. I looked at William's Mom and I caught her looking back and forth between William and me. I shivered. Really creepy. When she was about to take a peep at me again, I quickly looked down and continued eating my food. We finished eating lunch and Mia and I packed the
