Amelia’s POVI got the job? I got the job!I nearly squealed out loud like a pig in excitement as I read the message on my phone. My excitement and happiness knew no bounds when I saw the message that I had gotten the job and without thinking twice, I quickly ran into my mom’s room to share the news with her. The heavy burden that had seemed to weigh on my shoulders lifted up just a bit and it felt like I could finally breathe easier and better. Although the money dad had sent had been so helpful and had literally saved my mom's life, it had not been nearly enough to cover all of the outstanding bills and payments we had to make. Then there were the new payments that seemed to be cropping up every single day. It was beginning to look like the hospital was charging us for every breath we took and every step as well. It was disheartening at times and I had just begun to feel depressed and hopeless again especially with the incident with Eddie, when the message came in. It came in at ju

Amelia’s POV I sobbed inwardly as I blurted out my feelings for Eddie in Blair’s presence. She only stared at me in silence and then hugged me, lending me her shoulder to cry upon. I moved away from her embrace when I was done.I felt embarrassed and hated the fact that I had cried over Eddie when he had not even loved me enough to fight for me when it truly mattered. He had moved on with his life and had gone on to have a wife and a beautiful girl. A girl he had named Chloe. It hurt even worse because we had once discussed having kids and he knew that Chloe was one of the names I had had my heart set upon for when we had kids.And yet, we never did. I thought sadly. Eddie had married another woman, and gone on to lead a huge company while I had remained stagnant, career-wise, financially and even in my love life. I felt like such a failure.And yet, here I am. Crying over someone who is doing so much better than I am. Get a grip, Amelia!I ruminated over the apology he had given me

Eddie’s POVI was so relieved when Chloe was finally discharged from the hospital. I returned back home with her. She was asleep and then I took her to her room and laid her carefully on the bed. Her nanny came into the room and asked how she was faring. I told her that she was fine but also instructed her to always watch everything she ate. She left the room after acknowledging my message and then after watching Chloe for a while, I returned back to my room to rest after the day. I checked my phone to see if Jenna had called but to my surprise, she hadn't and didn’t even bother to come to the hospital to check on her. I was so furious and I quickly dialed her number. She picked up after the third ring and asked why I called in a nonchalant tone. My brows furrowed in amazement, she was acting as though nothing had happened, as though our daughter had not just nearly lost her life.“What?! Did you seriously just ask me why I called? Didn’t I tell you about Chloe earlier?!” I yelled at

Amelia’s POVI had no idea why, but it felt like home to me. Actually, that was untrue, I knew why I had immediately felt a sense of peace wash over me the moment I stepped into the room. I tried to lie to myself that it was the plush carpeting that felt like I was sinking my feet into sand or that it was the beautiful reading corner that made my body itch with excitement to use it and fingers tremble with the urge to hold a sweet-smelling book. However, my lips curled themselves into a wry smile as I grudgingly admitted to myself that my strange comfort was not due to any of what I had listed or the other luxuries of the room or house, but…It's because of that memory, isn't it? Blaire's voice asked in my head.I tried to shoo it away.Go away, Blaire.Not until you admit to yourself the truth.I mentally rolled my eyes even as the flashback washed over me.I remember once talking with Eddie late in the night as we snuggled with each other. We had talked about a lot of things, mostl

Eddie’s POVI have been away from home to take my little Princess for a treat after she was released from the hospital. I got James' message, sending me the details regarding the new chef but I was unable to go through it but never did I expect it to be Amelia. Seeing her standing right in front of me, staring at me with her beautiful eyes made my heart skip a bit but I needed to act otherwise since she didn’t want anything to do with me.She told me that she was the new chef but I had to let go of her because if I accepted her and allowed her to work for me, I wouldn’t be able to hold back my feelings. I would want her every moment of which I wasn’t sure of the way she fell exactly.I ordered James to get me a new chef and also should come to my house and give more explanation on how he got to hire Amelia. I watched as he asked her if she did nothing wrong but she only left with her belongings angrily in silence. My heart throbbed seeing how sad she looked. I wanted to hold onto her
