‘I’m sorry, Phoenix, but there was nothing much about Anne Devano. It was as if she ceased to exist twenty years ago, and most of the information about her was being erased. Did you get the name of the school she attended with your stepmother?’Amelia stared at the message Vold as sent to her. After listening to Ava's words, she could barely sleep, and that resulted in her asking Vold for help since he was the only other person that knows about her mother. Why would anyone erase information about her mother? Was it her father, because he had made sure there were no traces of her mother left in the house?“What are you staring at?” She heard Mike’s voice. She had thought he was asleep as they had divided the bed, and she lay on her side of the bed. But his voice was as clear as day. She closed her phone and hid it under the bed. No one was to know that she was looking for her mother. “Nothing.”Mike sat up, “It doesn’t seem like nothing. Did something happen with Ava before I

“I need to know more about this Anne Devano,” Mike told Steve. Steve leans on the chair, opening magazines and paying attention to Mike. “Who is this Anne Devano?” Steve's curiosity got the best of him, making him close the magazine and focus on Mike. “You already have too much to do, and now you are giving yourself an extra duty to look for some Anne Devano.”He frowned. Phoenix had never asked him of anything, this is the first favor she had demanded from him, and he knew how desperate she was. She had always talked about the mother she had never met, and how she wanted to know about her, even if it was just a little. “You can’t understand, Steve. I am doing this as a favor to a friend. She is an important friend.”Steve narrowed his eyes, making sure to make eye contact with him. “Are you cheating on your wife, Mike?”Mike shook his head. Sometimes he could hardly believe the way Steve thought. Yes, he was a playboy, but that was only to get his mind off things that bother

The party was supposed to be modest – that was what Amelia had heard, but judging from the extravagant cars outside, and guards protecting most of the guests, she knew it was more than just a party. The hall was lavishly decorated and big enough to occupy lots of guests, but the guest was restricted to simply by invitation. Chairs were arranged in groups, and the stage holds one podium. Some goods were neatly arranged at a corner of the stage until they disappeared into a room close to the stage.Amelia looked down at her herself; she was dressed in a simple black skirt and a button-down shirt. She was undressed for the occasion, even though she was only there as her husband's secretary. She didn’t dare stand next to him afraid she would look like a maid beside him, as she hurriedly follow behind him.Mike noticing his wife’s falling footsteps, stopped for her to catch up with him. “Why are you walking behind like some kind of guard?”Mia frowned at him glancing around; most of t

Amelia didn’t pay attention to the rest of the conversation between Shawn and Mike; she was glad to be out to Shawn’s unending questions. The items they continued bringing out were rare and Amelia gaped at each with surprising eyes, she couldn’t believe some of this stuff actually cost millions of dollars. The people kept bargaining for each item until the highest bidder won it.The whole event was getting boring to Amelia, as she couldn’t afford most of these things, and didn’t see how it was helping the less privileged. She brought out her phone hoping to catch Vold online this time; it had been a while since they were both online at the same time. It seemed crazy they were both busy at the same time.“I will pay ten thousand for that.” A voice beside her said. Amelia turned to see her husband raising his fan. She turned back to see what he was willing to purchase; it was a small necklace, with an angel pendant. She hadn’t listened to the attribute the Mc had mentioned, but sh

Ava was standing outside the door when the couple returned making Amelia smile. She was seeing more of Ava now than she had ever in her whole life, and she was already twenty-two. Upon seeing the couple, Ava flashed a smile at them. “Welcome, dearest sister.” She engulfed Amelia in a hug, and the other pretended to fall for her hug out of courtesy. She left Amelia and tried to hug Mike, but when she saw the look in his eyes, she drew back with a chuckle. “Welcome back, brother–in–law.”Mike ignored her as if he hadn’t heard, and headed inside. The only reason he was tolerating her was because of Amelia, and he was already in a bad mood thanks to Shawn. Ava's eyes followed Mike until he was out of her sight, her teeth biting her lips wondering when she would be able to touch him and kiss those lips of his. The clearing of the throat brought her attention back to Amelia who glared at her. Ava smirked; it was the first time her sister was showing this side of her. “What’s going

Mrs. Afonso sighed before watching Mike retreat from the room without any other questions; he looked sad as he pulled his leg all the way through the stair. She knew a day like this was going to come. A day Mike would question everything around him, and not just sit down and obey their instruction as they hoped, but it was getting closer than she had expected. After she was certain she couldn’t hear the boy’s footsteps any more, she followed also, but to her room. The moment she locked the door behind, Mr. Afonso sat up like he wasn’t sleeping before. “What did he come for?” The older man pulled the blanket to cover his upper body, as he had been experiencing a series of colds and coughs. The doctor had advised him to keep himself warm all the time. “Just what you fear, Thomas, he is getting curious. He came to refute our decision for keeping his wife a secret from the world.” Thomas coughed loudly, “He must hate us so much right now.” He had anticipated that, but that didn’t m

It was hard to walk with your head high when you know all eyes were on you, and they whispered about you. Some were confident enough to point their fingers at you. Amelia put her head down; she hadn’t spent up to two weeks in her working place, and she was already the topic of gossip. It was annoying. This was not what she expected when she dreamed of freedom.She forced herself to the office, but Florence was waiting at the door with a frown on her face. She folded her hand below her breast and glared at her with so much hatred; if looks could kill, Amelia was certain she would be dead by the way Florence was looking at her. When she got to the door, she tried to move inside but Florence blocked her. “What’s the meaning of this?” Amelia asked with gritted teeth.Florence scoffed, pushing her phone .in Amelia’s face. She removed the phone only for her face to show an expression of shock. It was a picture of her lying in Mike’s leg, while he gazed at her with what anyone would r

What boyfriend? Mike wondered as he walked into the office. He could feel the ladies' gaze on him, but they didn’t dare to say a word. He walked up to Amelia, who sat up on her chair. The moment he stopped before her, she wrinkled her face into a forced smile, “How can I help you, Sir?” She screamed the ‘Sir’, and that made Mike wonder why she had to scream it.He had come to check on her and force her to dine with him, but after hearing about this boyfriend he had no idea on. He wanted to speak with her now. “Meet me in my office now?” He turned without waiting for her response.Amelia turned to look at the girls, and saw Christie whispering, “What’s wrong?”She shrugged. Florence was glaring at her, but she followed Mike behind. On the way, Mimi was coming back, and when she saw them, she started adjusting her dress. Mike was out of space that he didn’t respond to her greeting.She glared at Amelia behind, who sighed. She was surely having more enemies than friends. When they g

“You are joking, right?” Amelia asked with a frown.“I am not. It’s best you start getting dressed before it’s late.” He opened the door and ushered her outside. Amelia frowned but she left his room while glancing back to see if Mike was following her. She sighed in relief when she knew he was still in his office, telling herself he must be joking about following her on a date. What sort of husband does that?She closed her eyes knowing she wasn’t supposed to be going on a date too. What sort of wife does that? But she was left with little to no choice and had no idea what to do. So, she was going to make use of Christie’s advice. She might be able to get Florence off her back that way too. The thought of coming to work without having enemies put her mind at ease. Having Ava at home to terrorize her was more than enough.The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Amelia avoided going for lunch as she didn’t want others pointing fingers at her. Christie helped her get her lu

Mike had followed Amelia right from home, but she wasn’t observant as she kept staring at every, and anything she saw which brought a smile to his face. His wife wasn’t a hard woman to please due to the fact that there were so many things she hadn’t seen, and he wished to be the one to show her the world, but as it was, he couldn’t.He settled for following behind her and was surprised at the environment she was in. Who was she going on a date with that lived in such an environment? After a while, one of the secretaries in the office came to pick her up, and they went through an apartment.To keep himself busy while waiting for her; Mike went to the app and was thankful when he saw Phoenix's message. It had been a while since he last met her online as they had been dropping messages for each other offline. If there was someone he was so eager to meet, it was Phoenix, but she had no interest in meeting him just yet.He relaxed against the chair as the ladies were taking longer than he
