Chapter: Welcome to the Ace Corp
RowanDad's text was kind of cryptic since he didn't mention why he needed me to come home, if we were going somewhere or if it was just for dinner.But I still took the liberty of dressing sharp, opting for a more laid-back formal look. I wore a well-fitted dark blazer that screams sophistication, but not too stiff, you know? Underneath, I kept it simple with a crisp white shirt, untucked for that effortlessly cool vibe. Then, instead of dress pants, I went for these tailored chinos, still classy but not overdone. And on my feet, some sleek leather boots that add a touch of ruggedness to the ensemble. With that, I was ready to head home.It was weird. When I got there, I immediately noticed that a party was underway. Why didn't he mention the party in his text? It's not like I wasn't confident in what I was wearing, but it just seemed odd he would invite me for a party, usually that was mom's job. And if he didn't invite me to the party, how did he expect us to talk with so many peo

Chapter: That was it?
AmeliaI was feeling way better by the time I woke up; the cold was gone and only tiny beads of sweat remained... plus I wasn't aching anymore. Well, except for the spot on my arm where the wound was.I sat up on the bed, a little surprised to see William sitting on an armchair close to the door, scrolling through his phone. He noticed me when I sat up, looking away from his phone."You're awake." He said, getting off the armchair and coming over to meet me on the bed.Hold up! Did he sit there the entire time I slept? To watch me and make sure I didn't fall on another dangerous thing?The back of his palm felt my forehead."You're no longer burning up." He announced. "Are you in pain? Are you cold?"I shook my head."No. I think the fever is gone.""Hm, I think so too. But you might still have to be careful so it doesn't return.""I know. It's my fault though, after that bully pushed me into the pool, I should have changed out of my wet clothes as soon as I got home, but I foolishly

Chapter: I wanted to run away from everyone
AmeliaI felt like I was floating... like I wasn't in my body. Was I dead? What happened? Last thing I could remember was William leading me away to the parking lot. What exactly happened after that?I pulled the blanket over my head.Huh?What blanket?Was I home?How did I get home?I pulled the blanket down and opened my eyes. It hurt to open them, but I needed to understand where I was at least.I was in a familiar room... not my room though and for the life of me, I couldn't remember whose room it was, just that I'd been there before.There were drugs on the bedside table with a half empty glass of water. There was also a thermometer. I wanted to sit up and look around the room more, hoping everything would come back to me and I'd know where exactly I was, but I had no strength left in my body. I felt weak and wobbly, like jelly. I felt cold on the inside, but I was sweating slightly.I eyed the glass of water. I wanted to drink it. Maybe it would help.My hand could move at leas

Chapter: Don't put her in danger
RowanI didn't sleep in my bed that night. After I called Amelia and told her to come in by morning, I went downstairs to my study. I sat in my chair and read through my script for a bit. When I felt sleepy, I returned to my room, but seeing Raven there still made my bed less appealing.I left for a guest room and spent the night there, glad that I got quality beds for all the rooms in my house, else I would have woken up in pains that morning.By morning, when I got down to the kitchen, Raven was already there, having breakfast."There you are." She said once she saw me. "I asked your maids if you went out already and none of them had an idea. Did you stay up reading your script again?"That was the perfect excuse."Yeah, I didn't really feel like sleeping."I sat on the stool facing her and the cook served me my breakfast."Does Blondie work on weekends?" She asked."Not really. But I already called her to come here this morning.""Perfect. I'm going to pick on her again, I'll take

Chapter: Blacking out
AmeliaI didn't protest, I didn't want to. Honestly, I didn't have the strength to fight with anyone. If he wanted me to become his girlfriend's assistant for the day, that was fine by me. I couldn't afford to protest, not when my job depended on it.I needed to work for Rowan Ace, his bitch of a girlfriend was just part of the package. The earlier I understood that, the earlier I got over it."I'll go get dressed." Raven said, got off the stool she sat on, went over to where Rowan sat and kissed him deeply... all the while making eye contact with me.Why did she bother? She really thought I cared about her relationship with Rowan? I rolled my eyes.He was not my type, period."I'll be right back." She said as she broke the kiss, then walked past me out of the kitchen.Rowan's eyes were on me.What did he want? To tell me to make sure his beloved girlfriend didn't have any reason to complain? Remind me to keep my clumsiness in check and not ruin her day? Oh wait! That just gave me an
