Her heart's silent warning

Amelia's POV I didn't wait for my secretary to get closer to me before I reached my hand forward to collect the phone from her. I quickly turned it on, scrolling to the calling app. My eagerness to call Mrs Pat began to die down as my memories from this morning slowly started to flood back into my brain. Will she even pick up the call? She will. I told myself. I shake my head to erase such thoughts, then quickly press the call button. I placed my fist under my chin, calmly waiting for her to pick up as the ringing filled the air. My heart skipped when I dropped my eyes on the phone just to see the call timer start to count up. “He..Hello Mrs Pat. How is Granny?” I asked, almost biting my tongue. I don't know why she took some time to reply. I had to take the phone away from my ear to see if she was still on the line. “Yes. She has gotten better, but it's still the same thing” “What is that?” I asked, my hands helplessly dropping on my lap. “S

Could this be a payback?

Amelia's POV It didn't take long before my secretary came back with Golden Hall’s office phone number. “You can go,” I said, dismissing her. I quickly dialed the number from the paper on my phone, patiently waiting as it rang. It cut after some time of ringing because nobody picked up, and that made me lose hope in my plan. I sigh, unhappily looking down at the phone before pressing the call button again. This time someone picked up the call. “Hello. It's the secretary speaking. The receptionist won't be on the table from now on because the company has a crash, " A lady spoke to me harshly. Luck is on my side today because this is the person who can give me what I need. I guess she is still around because she is a secretary, which means she is the closest worker to their boss who is not there in his place. “That is fine,” I smiled as if she were here with me. “I am reaching out from the West Regal Enterprise…” I paused when I heard a loud gasp from her.

Hating the heart flutter

Amelia's POV I fought the childish urge in me not to fake a yawn as Ashton kept on talking. “Ok.” I cut in just as he opened his mouth to say something again. “Our business email was hacked, and someone has been trying to cause problems for me. You know…there are many people from my husband's family who hate me” I lied with the words rolling out of my mouth smoothly. I saw him twist his mouth when I mentioned "my husband" Also, his body reaction doesn't seem like he believed me, but he has to because what I said makes sense. Especially since he and Gregory had once planned against me on Tuesday with that silly reporter, but Ashton stopped at the last minute to save me. Who knows anyway? “It wasn't me that sent the message,” I said again. “How did you know?” “Maybe because I saw it when I was checking for any new emails this morning?” I rolled my eyes. “Oh.." he nodded his head. “They might just want to make us meet, take a picture of us, and post it t

Weights of his words

Amelia's POV Jason wrapped his tiny hands around my legs, hugging me with the chocolate melting onto my clothes. He turned his head to the other side, and his eyes landed on Liam who was now talking to Mrs. Pat. He shivered in fear that I could feel it, and even his hold on my leg tightened. I gently bent down to his height and pulled his small hands in mine. “Baby, look at me,” I told him softly. My heart shattered into tiny pieces at how red his face had become all because of how scared he was. He lifted his teary eyes at me after a long silence. “Mummy…” He called me in tears, “Let us go inside before he comes,” he said, placing his hand on my back to help me move. “He would not do anything to you, okay?” I planted a tender kiss on his chubby cheeks, then protectively carried him in my arms. Each step I took towards my room planted a seed of hatred in me for Liam. I couldn't help it. He haunted my son this morning because of all the shouting. How c

Just for show

Amelia's POV THE NEXT DAY: Today was cool and fun because my baby boy and I visited Granny West at the hospital. Two, we went shopping to buy our favorite ice creams and three, it was sunny too. Gosh, I love it when my skin is exposed to direct sunlight. It gives me this weird feeling of warmth. Just the rays to shine on my body. Not that I love revealing clothes, but thankfully, I was wearing a short blue dress today, which made me feel the sun very well. Anyone who sees me smiling today wouldn't know that I had one of the craziest mental breakdowns that kept making me jerk out of sleep every thirty minutes throughout last night. My palms started turning cold as I drove closer to the Villa's gate. I wish this weren't my life. I slowly drove inside as the gate automatically opened wide. “What is it?” I whispered to myself, squinting my eyes to check if it was truly Mrs. Pat that I saw standing at the entrance of the building. I didn't bother to dri

Until she talked about her ex

Amelia's POV Mrs. Pat and I eagerly walked out of the Villa to the floral garden in the backyard. We met the private photographer and Liam, who were talking and shaking their heads in agreement about what was on the camera. “Let's start,” Mrs. Pat raised her voice to catch their attention as we got closer to the neat path that ran between wide beds of beautiful roses and cherry blossoms. That's where we are going to take the wedding pictures. It's a perfect space though. My heart stopped beating the moment Liam turned his head towards us; those cold, piercing eyes of his were looking at me from head to toe. I curl under his gaze. There was no reaction on his face. Just that stone face on me. I felt like I should twist my leg around and run away. I heard a loud gasp from the photographer. “The garden held its breath when you walked in, as if the roses were waiting for your permission to bloom. Mr Liam West is the most blessed man alive,” He showered praises on me, h

When she bites back.

Amelia's POV I took in small breaths to calm my body. It worked, but I was able to control myself better when my eyes met those of Mrs. Pat, who was glowing with joy. I smiled back at her before facing the camera again. After a few clicks, the photographer sighed heavily, looking up from his device. “That is enough. Simple and less romantic, but they will feel the love between both of you,” He said, sounding cool with the pictures he had taken. “Thank you,” I told him gratefully, trying not to think much about how Liam roughly pulled away from me, now walking out of the garden. “Give me a minute, let me check on Jason,” Mrs. Pat said to me before rushing out. I am now left with the photographer who stands there, looking at me like a flower he admires. This man is old enough to be my father, but there is just this sense of peace around him. “Am I that beautiful?” I teased, giving him a side eye. “Yes, you are. You remind me of my daughter.” “Oh..” “What is her n

Tangled in her own web

Liam's POVI expected my heart to bloom with happiness when Amelia's eyes burned with raw pain. Her voice was shaking terribly, and the tears that were now running down her cheeks should excite my soul, but I felt nothing. I knew those words I said were enough to make her soak in shame. She deserved it. A disgraceful and creative liar like her will not gain my respect. I regret losing myself in those uncontrollable emotions that flushed through my veins when she talked about her ex while we were taking the wedding shot. She had confirmed my findings just before I had even gotten anywhere with it. I had lied to her yesterday morning that I would be having an indirect meeting with Ashton. Yes, I surely sent him an email through my Grandma's laptop to make it real, but I wasn't going to talk to him through any personal assistant. It was a setup. I was just going to check if he would come, then drive away. I wouldn't go anywhere close to him, and even if I

This one could be worse

Amelia's POV I flinched in shock, sucking in a hard breath when Liam told Mrs. Pat that I had been secretly meeting my ex. He took me off guard with that. It's true, and it only happened once, but how do I tell them that it's not what they are thinking? My feet turned cold against the heel I was putting on, and all the anger that was already built up in me melted away like heated ice. I would never think of letting Granny West down. Even when she is alive or after her death. I have sworn on my late mother to never get involved in any dirty business with Ashton and his mother. But can only words prove my innocence now? I started cracking my brain on how to deny this, but my head dropped when it hit me that Liam would have direct proof since he is saying that the email was hacked. I was the one who gave Ashton the excuse so that he would not reply to any emails he gets from that email address again. Stupid ex. Did he snitch on me, or did he just want to prove some

Someone who listens

Amelia's POV Mrs. Pat did not say anything. She sat down there quietly, probably waiting for me to calm down. I blow out air from my mouth, slowly raising my head to look straight into her eyes. “He hates me,” I said tiredly. Silence. “He hates me, and you know it,” I repeated, feeling helpless as my eyes painfully itched with tears. I don't want to cry. I am already worn out from too many problems. “Amelia…” Mrs. Pat breathed heavily, placing her elbow on her lap to rest her knuckles under her chin. “You are a hardworking and strong woman, and I greatly admire you for that.” She praised me with a sweet smile that warmed my heart. “All those beautiful qualities in you are the reason why Granny West wanted you for the job even though there are so many errors surrounding making the deal with you.” She said, taking a deep breath. “I mean…if you were in Liam's shoes, would you be happy to know that after being stuck on a sick bed for years, you got health
