Chapter One

AMELIA’S 8: 00PM“Get out, we don’t ever want to see you in this company again,” My boss said icily, as the security escorted me out of the company. My mind couldn’t process what was happening, as I stared at my stuffs that were littered on the floor in disbelief. “Your services are no longer needed Amelia,” He said in a still, yet cold voice. “Why? What did I do wrong?” I managed to ask as soon as I got my voice, tears threatening to fall from my eyes. He just ignored me, and walked back into the company. I stared at his retreating figure and felt tears drop from my eyes. I crouched down to pick my things, packing them all into my handbag—before taking a final glance at the company. “What could have gone wrong in just five minutes?” I wondered deeply as my eyes stung badly. To be honest, I didn’t know why I was sacked from my job. I had just excused myself to get an Americano in a cafeteria down the street, just for me to come back to this. I walked back home, as my vision

Chapter Two

AMELIA’S POVA week later:It’s been exactly a week since I lost my job… and the unfortunate encounter I had on my way back, and it was safe to say that I was still more than a little paranoid.I couldn’t go around without watching my shoulders as everywhere I went, I felt like I was being watched. I had tried to hide in the shadows, to hide and to wallow in self pity until today. I combed out my hair, humming a song under my breath as I prepped myself for a job interview. After I lost my previous one…I took another look at myself at the mirror, and a small smile crept on my lips. I was pretty. I was cladded in a sleek black corporate gown, which was tailored fitly. The dress was above my knees and It had a little embroidery on the Neckline. The sleeves were also long and fitted.I sighed slightly, as I packed my hair in a bun. I took out time to admire myself in the mirror, and I must say— I was captivated by my own beauty….After gazing at myself in the mirror, I knew it was time

Chapter Three

Amelia’s POV. I widened my eyes, staring at him in shock as I found it difficult to believe it. “Follow me,” He said to no one in particular as he turned around and waltzed out of the office. I glanced at them in confusion until the young man that had just entered silently urged me to go and that was when the realization dawned upon me. I followed him till he entered a room I guessed to be his office, and to my surprise —it was larger than any office I had come across. He turned and locked eyes with me, sending chills to my body. “Look who we have here,” He said softly, yet huskily. “Good morning,” I greeted, and bowed slightly but he came towards me and made me stand upright. “You came for the job,” He asked, as he turned his back on me. “Yes sir,” “You’re hired,” He said and turned with the most charming smile I had ever seen as he stretched forth his hand for a handshake. Wait, what?!I couldn’t believe my ears as I stared at him like he had suddenly developed two heads.

Chapter Four

Amelia’s POV. “What’s wrong Luca?” I questioned softly because I still didn’t know what had gotten over him. “Amelia,” He called coldly and seriously that I had no option but to stare up at him. “You’ll resign from there!” He said what I least expected, and I narrowed my eyes at him. I waited patiently, hoping he’d take his words back. “You cannot work there. I’ve told you that you can come to work in my company and I’ll pay you well,” Luca said, and I shook my head slowly. “I told you that I didn’t want to work with you because there would be preferential treatment. In as much as I need money urgently, Luca, I won’t work where my skills wouldn’t be appreciated,” I stated the facts for the umpteenth time because Luca chose not to understand a single thing. “Preferential treatment my foot! Amelia your skills would be appreciated,” Luca said angrily, and I wondered why he got worked up over nothing. “Luca, please calm down. People are watching,” Mia suggested in a hushed voice, a

Chapter Five

ALESSANDRO’S POV. Her face depicted shock, but I wasn’t moved. I wanted her to be around me, so I could pay more attention to her and ensure her safety. She has slowly become my priority. “Is anything the matter?” I inquired, staring deeply into brown eyes. She sighed deeply and shook her head. She strode to her desk without any other word. Even though I knew that it wouldn’t be safe for me to discuss certain things again in my office because of her presence, I still went ahead to bring her here. I didn’t know why, but all I knew was that I wanted her around me. I shrugged and went back to my seat, hoping she’d at least say something but she didn’t. She began typing frantically on the computer, and from the look of things, I figured out that she was already working. I shrugged and decided to continue what I was working on. We worked for quite some time, and after a while of not hearing her talk, I decided to break the tense atmosphere. “Hey, you done?” I said aloud, so she

Chapter Six

AMELIA'S POV.I got him feeling a bit lost and annoyed at how things had turned out today. I wasn't happy and that was because I wasn't sure if my reaction was the right thing earlier. When I was still busy thinking and questioning my fate, I got a call from Mia as usual. “Hey Babe.” She sounded excited, more like she was excited to hear about how my day went. After all, it was my first time. “Hey,” I replied with less energy. “What happened? Why that tone? Did something happen?” “I think I might be on a one-way ticket to losing my newly found job.” I went ahead and explained what exactly had happened to her as I cuddled next to my pillow. “Wow,” Mia responded after a while and I heard a crunchy sound…it wasn't that hard to guess that she was eating something. “Maybe you need to learn how to tone it down a little now, Amelia. That was terrible. One thing I know and that everyone knows about your boss is that he is strict and very mysterious. You need money

Chapter Seven

AMELIA'S POV I prepared myself for what seemed to have been the verdict that I had given myself before anything could even happen. I was standing right in front of his door, fidgeting instead of actually knocking. After staying for a few minutes, I raised my shaky hand and tapped lightly on the door. “Come in.” He ordered and I gulped before slowly pushing the door open. He was seated in a calm manner, his pen drastically dancing away on the sheet of paper that he duly concentrated on. Standing next to him was his assistant whom I didn't know his name yet. “Good morning, sir.” My greeting came out more like a squeak. At first, he paid me no attention and that increased my anxiety.Is he perhaps still mad at me? I mean who wouldn't be? I disrespected him yesterday. I stood for what seemed to have been minutes already yet none of the men was addressing me. I was on my heels for goodness sake. Even though the heels were not supposed to cause me pain, my situation actually mad

Chapter Eight

AMELIA'S POV.Just within two minutes, the dinner was already set for both of us and I was sitting opposite him, my back against the transparent wall. I would have sincerely loved to sit opposite so I could see the lights of the city. I nervously watched as Mr Alessandro went through the menu skillfully — almost like he had nothing to lose. Well, he didn't. He passed the menu to me afterwards and I blinked at him cluelessly. “Choose any that you prefer.” He instructed and I lowered my eyes after muttering a thank you. My eyes almost popped right out of their sockets. Two thousand dollars? For what? A single meal? I tried looking for any meal that was less expensive but none was less than two thousand dollars. “Just choose one, Amelia.” He interrupted my thoughts with a drowsy voice and I pointed my finger at just anyone. After the waiter left, I shifted closer to my boss to express my surprise. I would have really appreciated it if he had given me cash instead. “These

Chapter Nine

ALESSANDRO'S POV. The driver was about to hand over the keys to me but I stopped him, “You can take it home for tonight. Come back as early as possible tomorrow. Also, have your phone close to you. Plans for tomorrow might change so you need to be prepared.” I instructed him. “Yes, Boss. Goodnight.” He bowed his head and walked towards his quarter while I headed inside the mansion where Mike happened to have been waiting for me. “Welcome sir.” He greeted me with a smile on his face which I rarely saw and I knew why. I nodded and took off the jacket that I was wearing. “How was the date, sir?” “It wasn't a date. It's not a date if she hasn't agreed to it yet.” I replied grumpily and continued walking to the rooftop where I could see the lights of the city. Mike pulled out a glass of whiskey and gave it to me after filling it in my presence. He handed me a cigarette stick and lit the bottom for me. I took my seat and sipped from whiskey. “I agree, sir.

Chapter 10

AMELIA'S POVI finished dressing up and carried my things happily as I walked to the door. Since I had planned my day out, I had no issues carrying out my tasks. I needed to be in the company by 7:00 am but as soon as I opened the door, I met Luca standing close to his car, leaning against it with his head bowed. He only raised his head when he noticed that I had gotten out of the house. I had intentionally been avoiding his calls and messages ever since that day when he embarrassed me in public by going against my new found job rather than congratulating me. I locked my door and decided to ignore him instead but he rushed up to me, seeking my apology as he grabbed my arm gently. “Amelia…listen, please, don't leave me like that. Please, I have been trying to reach out to you for some time now but you have been denying me any access whatsoever…” “And what gives you the right, huh? What makes you think that I am simply just going to give you access back into my life? Oh, do y
