Chapter 12Amelia "How... how did this happen?" She stammered, her voice trembling with emotion. "You're married? And pregnant? Without me knowing?" "I know it's a lot to take in, but please just listen." I pleaded.She shook her head, "I can't believe you would keep this from me, Amelia. Your own mother. You're supposed to set an example for your little sister.""It happened so fast mom, we fell in love and then got married in court. It wasn't a big wedding." That was a big lie. I was lying to her in her face. But what other choice do I have?“You're not married by a priest! Oh, Amelia… what did I do to deserve this?”Oh, my! I've messed up big time. I didn't intend to reveal anything about the wedding. But my nerves are getting the best of me.“Mum, we plan to have a big white wedding,” I continued my lie, trying to salvage the situation. “With you and Ella present, before the Lord. But we're waiting for you to get better, Mum.”I could feel Hayley's burning gaze on me. But I ign

Selene My eyes fluttered open, and I found myself lying in the back seat of a car, my mind foggy and my memories hazy. But one image stood out clearly - Alex, rushing to my aid.A soft smile spread across my lips as I whispered to myself, "My knight in shining armour."The car came to a stop, and Alex opened the door, gently pulling me out. My legs faltered, still weakened by the alcohol, and Alex swiftly lifted me into his arms, cradling me like a child. I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding tight and sniffing it.A subtle smile spread across my face as I gazed at him, taking in the chiselled features of his striking face. His handsome appearance was undeniable. And for the first time, I saw his face soften, not the cold demeanour he usually reserved for me. Like he had been harbouring a grudge against me. Like I had wronged him in a past life. I was lost in thought, my mind reeling as I stared at him, My thoughts were a jumbled mess as I stared at him. The next thing I knew,

Amelia"Oh my God, Hayley! You scared the shit out of me." I exclaimed, my voice shaking with fear."Sorry! I noticed you rushing in here and I was wondering what was happening. Why did you rush in here? Are you planning on getting books?" Hayley questioned, her brows furrowed in confusion as she stared at my empty hands."Were you the one following me?" I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly.Hayley arched her brow, her expression puzzled, "No. Was someone following you?" she asked, her eyes darting around us.I rubbed my temple, shivering slightly as the cool breeze brushed against my skin. "I'm not sure. I just had this weird feeling like someone was following me.""Amelia, are you all right? You're covered in sweat," Hayley said, her voice filled with concern as she gazed at me with a worried expression."I need to get out of here, Hayley," I said, brushing past her and hurrying out of the bookstore. I stood outside, taking deep breaths and trying to calm myself down.She followed be

Selene "Ugh," I lifted my head with a groan and was immediately struck by the harsh sunlight, which felt like a dagger piercing through my brain. I fell back onto the bed. "Owww, I need coffee," I moaned. As I lay there, the events of the previous night came rushing back to me. I remembered kissing an unresponsive Alex. The flashback played in my head. "Selene, what the...!" he exclaimed, trying to push me away. But I held fast, my lips still pressed against his, refusing to let go. He finally broke away, shoving me backwards. I stumbled, regaining my balance. I glared at his insolent face. "Fine, I'll leave!" I snarled, storming over to where my dress lay, snagged it up and draped it over my head. "You're pathetic," I spat out and strode past him out of the room. "Damn Alexander and his attitude," I blurted out, shaking my head in annoyance as I returned to the present moment. A light tap on my door. “We leave in thirty minutes,” Alexander’s voice carried into the room

Amelia Mistress? Did he just call me Alexander's mistress?I halted in my tracks, standing like a deer caught in a headlamp. My head reeling from what I had just heard. The flashlights went off and I was blinded and dazed by them.Again, I felt Dean place one hand on my head and the other on my shoulder as he gently pushed me into the car. Hayley grabbed my hand, cradling it in hers."That was insane!" Hayley exclaimed. "I know, right?" I replied, still trying to catch my breath and gather my thoughts.Reporters surrounded the car, taking pictures and shouting at the tinted car glass as Dean drove away."How did they know?" I asked no one in particular. How did this happen? Panic set in as the thought of going to the house and facing Alexander, especially his grandfather crossed my mind."I had a feeling something was off. I just knew they were out there for you. I could feel it in my bones."Only a handful of people knew about my marriage to Alexander. I stared at my friend suspici
