Chapter 41 : The Devil Too Gets Drunk

It was eight pm in New York City; Amelia could be seen sitting alone in the new apartment she had rented while manipulating her computer.Actually, since she got back earlier from the competition, after getting some rest, she had decided to move into the new apartment she had rented. After all, Sarah's apartment wasn't that big, and for the past few days she stayed with her, she has been sharing Sarah's room with her while Dave stayed alone in the guest room.Meanwhile, Dave had decided to spend more time with Sarah, especially as Amelia would mostly be focused on the competition and won't always be at home to keep him company. Sarah, on the other hand, her job didn't require for her to come to an office; she works remotely from home, so it was only right for Dave to stay with her, and even for the upcoming IT competition, she was still the one who was going to accompany Dave.After helping Amelia to pack the few belongings she had brought from Canada in the new apartment, Sarah and

Chapter 42 : Spending A Night With The Devil

"Ooh my goodness, Mr Williams, why of all the places you could have gone to after getting drunk, you chose here? What if I hadn't decided to move in here today?" Amelia asked Edward as she helped him inside before leading him to the sofa, where he sat down."Well, that's because you are the only one that came to my mind, wifey," Edward said to Amelia with a drunken tone."I mean, wifey, do you know for how long I have been thinking about you? Right from the first day I came to pick you up from your house, I haven't been able to get you off my mind. If I didn't treat you well right from the beginning, it's because I was angry because my mother was forcing me into doing something that I didn't want to do, and that's exactly what she's still trying to do now. I know you are still angry at me for how I treated you back then, but please promise me that you won't leave again no matter what happens," Edward said to Amelia with a drunken tone as he grabbed her hand.Amelia, on the other hand,

Chapter 43: Long Story

"Hey, what the hell!!" Amelia screamed at the car that was already driving away, and with that, she looked at the time on her phone only to see that she had only thirty minutes remaining, and from the way the road looked empty, she didn't need a fortune teller before knowing that it would take her more than thirty minutes to find another taxi that would take her to the place the competition was going to take place. _________________________Once the car drove away, Amelia took her phone and began dialling the phone number of the only one person that came to her mind, which was Sarah.It's true that she wasn't a fast driver, but one thing that Amelia was convinced about was that if she explained her situation to her, she was going to do everything possible to come and meet her as soon as possible, and concerning another taxi, she didn't know how long it would take another taxi to come where she was even if she ordered one right away, and the worst part of the whole story was that she

Chapter 44 : Mrs Jones, You Are Late

A car could be seen pulling over just some distance away from the place where the competition was taking place. Once the car pulled over, Amelia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly checked the time on her phone only to see that there were five minutes remaining before the competition begins.Heaving a sigh of relief, she turned her gaze towards Edward, who was on the passenger side."Mr Williams, thank you so much for helping me once again. I really don't know how to thank you enough. I know that I still owe you a meal, and believe me, I'm going to find one way or another to pay you back for helping me this morning also," Amelia said to Edward."Well, I don't think that is necessary; after all, aside from buying me a meal, there are many other ways you can pay me back. For example, you can give me a goodbye kiss; I won't reject it, and mind you that we didn't even get the chance to kiss on the way we got married," Edward said to Amelia, who immediately furrowed her brows a

Chapter 45: Taking Care Of The Issue Myself

"Mrs Jones, you are late," the staff said to Amelia, who was still panting heavily._________________________"Yes, I know, and I'm so sorry; I had some complications while coming," Amelia said to the staff while still panting heavily."What complications?" The staff asked Amelia with furrowed brows."Well, sincerely speaking, I can't recount everything to you right now; it's a very long story, but believe me, it was never my intention to come late. I left my house very early, but along the road, I had some issue with the taxi driver," Amelia said to the staff, who nodded in reply."Well, since it's your first time coming late, I will take your word for what it is, but I hope it will also be the last time. Mind you that when selecting the winners of the competition, little things like punctuality are also taken into consideration by the judges," the staff said to Amelia before marking her name on the register she was holding."Thank you so much," Amelia said to the staff with a warm s
