Amelia’s PovI could see the rage in Alexander’s eyes and deep down, it made me shiver. I had never seen him that raged since I came into the mansion.On my part, I was extremely annoyed. How could he have given me a punishment that involved spending three nights in the dungeon?“What did you say?” Alexander’s voice pierced into my thoughts, and that was when I recalled that I had said something that angered him.“Did you say that you won’t get on your feet?” He asked in a louder voice, digging into my soul with his eyes.I gulped down hard and looked at the other girls who had an amused look on their faces. Apparently, they were surprised at the taunt I was presently pulling. The men around looked at me calmly, with a smirk on their faces. I couldn’t bear looking over at Alexander’s face because I could feel how he looked already.“I meant that I would love to go start my punishment already”, I suddenly said, since I didn’t want an additional punishment to the one that have been dis

Amelia’s Pov “You are meant to be serving your punishment, but you’re out here on a walk?” Alexander asked angrily as he grabbed me on my wrist and started leading me away from Derek.Derek made to talk, but he gave him a dead glare that caused him to remain mute. Hot tears threatened to fall out of my eyes when I thought of his cruel he could be. I was out there having a great time with someone who was willing to listen to me, but he decided to end it by reminding me that I had a punishment to serve.“Let me go!” I cried out as the tears finally dropped out of my eyes.Was there anyone as cruel as him?He was literally punishing me for spending a night at Derek’s room, even if he was aware that I wasn’t feeling great. “Didn’t you know that I wasn’t sick? You gave me the permission to spend the night there! Why then are you punishing me for that?” I asked and for a minute, I though I saw a string of jealousy passing through his eyes.He pushed me forward while I staggered, almost l

Derek was taken aback and confused at what Five just said to her. He took a moment to go over her words again after which he glared at her.“Are you trying to say that Amelia is a trouble?” He asked and five who let out a small scoff. She smiled calmly, but it was quite clear that the smile did not get to her eyes.“That’s sweet. You even call her by her name. We refer to her with her number…eleven”, Five said as though Derek had no idea of that.Derek let out a scoff and this time, folded his eyes to his chest with an inquisitive look in his eyes.“I can’t refer to my friend with a mere number. Her name is Amelia and I’m so glad to refer to her as that”, Derek said with a corrective look on his face while Five gulped down hard and nodded her head in understanding.She thought of what to say, with different thoughts going round her head. A part of her heart was feeling a pang of guilt because of how swift it was for her to turn against her friend. But then, this was her major change

Alexander’s PovI couldn’t believe myself just the same way she couldn’t believe her ears. She stared at me the moment I walked into the dungeon and for a minute, I could see the shock in her eyes.“You should have your meal”, I repeated, with a voice that sounded a lot more softer than the first. She gulped down hard and glared at me again, obviously trying to decipher what I was up to at the moment. There were different flashes in her eyes and most of them made my heart ache. She had a form of distrust and then, I could see hate as well in those eyes.“And why should I eat?” Amelia asked defiantly as she took a step backwards, making it seem as though I was a predator who was about to make her my prey.I took in a deep breath as I pondered over the question which she had just thrown to me. Deep down, I knew that I wanted her to eat since she was sick and still recuperating. However, I knew that if I laid that to her, she would take me to be a vulnerable and pretentious man who was

Amelia was so stunned that she could barely utter a word. For another time, she closed her eyes and opened them, hoping to find herself on her or something that would depict that she was only having a dream. But then, Alexander was there, taking her lips and sucking them as though his life depended on it.Just then, a memory flashed past in her head and unknowingly, she winced in pain. He had ordered her to be thrown into the dungeon and also demanded that she be denied food. Apart from that, she had ordered men to use the whip on her one time she went against the rules.Memories of these made her break into tiny bits and immediately, she pushed Alexander away from her.Alexander had been so lost in her lips that for a minute, he wanted to focus on just the moment. There was something intriguing about her and that captivated and drew him towards her against his will.“What the hell do you think you are doing? Are you out of your mind?” Amelia yelled out of her lungs, with her fist cle
