Amelia’s PovThe minute my foster father left the room, I became very certain that it was time to leave. The air around the house was so cold that I feared for my life and that of my child.Deep down, I was still scared and filled with uncertainty. I had no idea of where to go to since I had faint ideas of places around the city. I didn’t even know who I was! I dug my face into the pillow just as tears clouded my face. My foster mother had told me that the man whom I was sold off to was named Alexander, but that was the only detail she could give. How was I meant to start the search for him with just that detail? Why was I even willing to search for him when I knew that he might be a bad person? Or why haven’t he come to find me? My head was in complete chaos because there wasn’t a single explanation to help me out of my present dilemma. There was this connection I felt with the man named Alexander. It felt as though there was a part of him in my heart…but the memories were blank

Amelia had no idea of what happened, but she suddenly felt unsafe. There was something about the meeting that went on in the living room…something strange and highly suspicious.She was yet to regain her memories and so, trusting her foster family after what she heard was what she wasn’t ready to do. At this, she jerked to her feet and stared at the window. The window was so high and apart from that, she was pregnant and might be risking that if she decided to jump off.But then, her heart beat went on the rise and each second she remained in the room, she felt trouble coming close to her.She staggered slightly as she opened the window and looked out of it, preparing her mind and soul to take the great leap.After giving herself a countdown of five, she finally jumped out of the window. She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, but that lasted for only a second. She could only hope that there was no complications with her child. The small box was hidden in her pants just as she q

Alexander took another shot from the bottle of alcohol he held in his hands. His life had been in total misery ever since Amelia left without a trace. He was blank and didn’t know what to do again since none of his sources seemed to have an idea of where she might have gone to.He was in this state when he got a call from a number he knew nothing about.“A lady claims to be with someone you might be looking for. She insists that the person is searching for you too”, she explained and for a minute, he thought that he had heard wrongly.He jerked up instantly, with sweats forming on his forehead and his heart beating out of his chest. “Who is that? Can you link me up to her immediately?” Alexander asked as he suddenly saw a glimpse of hope before him.These past few days has been so tough for him because somehow, he was beginning to think that he may never set his eyes on Amelia or his child again.“Her name is Maya. She said that she wants to talk directly, but for that to happen, yo

“He is on his way to meet her now. We should inform the boss”, the man who had earlier spoken to Alexander said to his colleague who sat beside him. They both worked for Grey and was paid handsomely to track anything that concerned Alexander in order to find details relating to Amelia’s whereabouts.“Yes, we should call him because we have to get there before Alexander would”, the second man said just as they placed a call across to Grey. Grey was in the car with One. His face was red with fury as he tried to avoid colliding with other cars on the road. One observed his current state and kept silent, even if she had a lot on her mind. She still found it hard to place her hands on how they lost Amelia when they were already in her abode. It was a great shock none of them expected.“How did she disappear? Did you hear when her foster father said that she had no memories?” Grey asked One who nodded her head calmly.“Then how and why did she suddenly run away?” Grey screamed on top of

Amelia made to run back to Maya’s house, but she was pregnant and could hardly go far. They caught up with her in no time and started dragging her away. “Let her go!” She heard a firm voice that sent cold shivers down her spine. They stopped right in their tracks and released her grip, but that didn’t last for a second because they started pulling her towards the car again.“I said, let her go!” They heard the voice again and this time, something flew across to one of their faces, causing him to wince in pain. It was a stone which Alexander picked up the moment he got down from the helicopter. Alexander had a big frown on his face as he looked at the two men who he couldn’t place his hands on who might have sent them. “Amelia…get to the helicopter…now”, Alexander said as he looked at Amelia who was still looking at him in confusion. He was taken aback by her countenance and the way she stared at him with an unfamiliar gaze, but he decided to remove his attention from her and fix
