Amelia’s Pov I had been so excited the moment Alexander finally deemed it fit to let me out of the dungeon. I couldn’t say why he suddenly turned soft as though he cared, but that wasn’t what concerned me.All I wanted to set my eyes on was Derek. I wanted to talk to him about different things which would include how my life with him would look like.My foster parents had sold me to Alexander and that simply meant that I had no right to return to them or call their house my home. However, I wanted to have a chat with Derek and know if he would allow me visit my foster mother, even if it was just for one time.All these thoughts swirled around my head as I laid on my bed, preparing to take a nap. My body was aching as a result of the bare ground I slept in last night. At this, all I wanted was to have a great sleep and take my mind away from the different things that happened at the mansion.Just then, I heard One’s voice in the hallway. She was screaming on top of her voice and tell

Amelia’s PovFirstly, I had no idea of why Five had called me up with the statement that concluded that I was the thief. The look on everyone’s face around made me shiver in fear while I wondered why she had just done what she did.“You said you have a confession?” Alexander asked as he threw a questioning gaze at me. I gulped down hard as I quickly recalled that I really said I have a confession.I had been so tensed that I had no idea of when that left my mouth.“Well…yes”, I stuttered as I scanned through my head to think of what to say.“Five and I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago where I told her of my plans to leave the mansion”, I said as I lowered my eyes to the ground.Perhaps, that was why she decided to tell them that I stole something which I did not…Afterwards, I turned my gaze towards Five who was barely looking at me. “Five…you can tell him the truth. That was the only thing i did”, I said as I fiercely stared ay Five who didn’t bat an eyelid.Alexander becom

Amelia’s PovTears flowed out of my eyes as I watched the way and manner in which the situation turned against me. A day ago, I was already making plans of how my life with Derek would be.How could Five be so cruel to the extent of framing me in such manner? All I did was being her friend and telling her every single thing that I thought of. Never did I think or imagine that she would decide to use all of that against me.And Derek, he just stood there with a look of pleasure in his eyes. He seemed to be glad that I was being punished for attempting to steal his gold wrist watch which I never did…I had thought that he trusted me, but seeing how he turned agaisnt me and accepted all what they said made me shiver in fear. Maybe it was a great thing to stay at the mansion, rather than leaving with Derek who might turn out to be worst than Alexander…“Ouch!” I yelped in pain as tears poured out of my eyes.I could swear that the marks on my back would never disappear any time soon. Ev

Alexander’s PovI opened my eyes to see that I was only having a dream. I had been so worried about how everything turned out that I ended up dreaming about her and how I searched for her.I knew that I wanted to see her. My heart was calling out for her and I would never find peace if I don’t apologize…In my room, I threw myself down to whatever to get my mind off Amelia but it didn't seem possible. Alighting from my chair and moving to the window, I inhaled sharply hoping the beautiful scenery of the garden would make me feel better but it didn't!. I found it hard to forgive myself for punishing her in such an heartless manner when I knew she was innocent. I mean, it showed as clear as day!"It doesn't matter, Alexander. You shouldn't feel guilty for punishing her. You own her afterall" I mumbled to myself but the guilt still wrapped around my chest ever so tightly. As if right on cue, I saw eleven rush into the garden in a white flowery dress. She scrunched down hugging her kn

Amelia’s PovWhile working, I looked around to see if there were any eyes on me and on seeing that I was free from both Alexander and One, I made my way up to Noah, pulling him to the side. “What's the matter?” Noah questioned in a manner of urgency. I looked around one more time, ensuring that we were out of ear shot, or else the next words that came out of my mouth would cost us our lives. “We need to hasten our plan to leave the mansion” I say all tensed up and in a whisper. I was desperate to leave because the fact that I could be pregnant weighed heavily upon me and If I needed this child to survive, I needed to leave this mansion as fast as I could. I was yet to figure out if I was pregnant, but I had to make plans beforehand. Noah's eyes widened with surprise. I could tell he hadn't expected me to be this antsy about escaping this mansion. "Did Alexander do anything to hurt you? Did he touch you? Tell me”, he asked immediately. I shook my head, denying all allegations.
