“Amelia? What are you doing here?” James asked after he stopped hugging Helen.

“I brought her home, because she helped me,” Helen answered before Amelia could, and the men exchanged looks.

“I’ll tell you about it later, okay? Come on, James, join me in the kitchen.”

Helen held James’ hand and pulled him along with her to the kitchen. After they were gone, Amelia looked at Charles, she didn’t know what to say.

“Come and have your seat, Amelia. Let’s talk.”

Charles walked to the sofa, and Amelia followed behind him. She sat on the sofa in front of Charles and looked around again.

“Welcome to my home, Amelia. I’m still very surprised to see you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Charles. I never knew I’d be visiting too. But Ma’am insisted I have dinner with her. I never knew she was your wife.”

“Erm, not really. She is my ex-wife.”

“Oh… I’m sorry, Mr. Charles.” Amelia lowered her head, and he chuckled.

“It’s fine, Amelia. You never knew about it.”

    Charles parked in front of Amelia’s apartment, and she alighted. He also stepped out of the car and walked up to her. “Thank you so much for the ride. You can go back now. I don’t want to keep you waiting,” Amelia said and bowed. “I would love to talk to you about something. Do you mind if I go in with you?” “Oh really? Sure. Let’s go, Sir.” Amelia led the way and Charles followed behind her. They walked up the stairs and in no time, they got to her floor. She headed to her door and when she drew close, she looked at Elena’s door. “She is probably asleep,” She said aloud, and Charles looked at the door. “Who is asleep?” He asked, and she looked back at him. “My friend, Elena. I’m always coming home late, and I don’t get a chance to talk to her at night:” “Elena?” Charles knitted his brows, and Amelia nodded, opening her door. “Why? Do you know her?” “I know one Elena. She worked as James’ Secretary before she got him pissed, and he fired her. I heard she lives around the co

  • A Naive Bride For The Sophisticated CEO    Amelia is fired

    Amelia got to the company very early in the morning. She got to her table and arranged everywhere. James was yet to arrive, and she was happy she got to the company before him. ‘I’m going to try my best not to piss him off.’ She took a look at her outfit and smiled. She was dressed in a yellow T-shirt and a very tight blue skirt that stopped directly on top of her knee. Her flat shoes were black. Her t-shirt refused to remain tucked in her shirt because her skirt was too tight. As she walked, it kept pulling out. ‘I believe this is a better look. He would be surprised to see me wearing something fitted.’ Amelia thought excitedly. She sat on her chair and placed her bag on the table. She pulled out the file James had given her and began to read through it again. She stayed up all night to make sure she covered everything in the file. She just wanted to brush through to refresh her memory. She was still reading when she heard the elevator open. ‘He is here!’ She sprang to her fee

  • A Naive Bride For The Sophisticated CEO    A loud scream

    So many taxis passed by Amelia, but she wasn’t ready to stop one. Her head was full, her eyes were blurry due to her tears, her heart was broken. An hour back, she thought she finally got control over her life. She thought she could now make money and survive without her uncle, but she was wrong. The happy fantasy was washed down the drain by James. She looked at the company’s building for the last time and began to shuffle down the streets. She tried so hard not to call Freddie and tell him about it because she believed he would be busy, and she didn’t want to be a distraction. She held her bag firmly, grasping it tightly under her shoulders as she walked. This time, she wasn’t going to let anyone snatch her new phone and money from her.Almost everyone they passed by Amelia looked at her. Something caught their attention. It was either the way she sobbed home, or her fitted skirt. When Amelia noticed a young couple staring at her, she realized they were whispering things to them

  • A Naive Bride For The Sophisticated CEO    I love James!

    Amelia closed her eyes losing hope of surviving Ava’s cruelty, until she fell into someone’s arms. She opened her eyes and found out she was in arms of a man. She turned her head to look at her savior. “Hey, baby girl,” Hudson uttered with a devilish grin. Amelia wanted to get away from his grip but he was way stronger than her. It had always been like that. “Let me go, Hudson!” Amelia yelled. “Shouldn’t you be grateful I didn’t let you fall off?” “What the hell is going on here?!” Freddie yelled as he walked to the scene. Hudson let Amelia go immediately he heard his father’s voice. He tucked his hand in his pocket and turned to leave. “I’m asking you a question! What is going on here?!” Freddie yelled angrily, and Ava gave way for Amelia to walk to where Freddie was standing. “Nothing happened, okay?! She was about to fall off the stairs, and I grabbed her before she could lull herself!” “We just wanted to help her, Dad! You don’t have to be on her side all the time!” The

    James became so busy in his office with paperworks. He for the first time regretted firing Amelia. He would have pushed the whole work to her, and she wouldn’t have complained. He reached for his tea cup and gulped some of his warm tea. He stood up and adjusted his pants before stretching. He was about to sit and resume working when he heard a knock on his door. “It’s not locked,” He responded without bothering to look at who it was. The door opened, and he heard the click-clack of Ava’s high-heels approach him. He lifted his head and when he saw it was her, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Ava? What are you doing here?” He asked, and she let out a bright smile. “Do you have to ask me that? I came to see you of course.” She drew the chair backward and sat before he asked her to sit. “You could have done it some other time. I’m so busy right now.” He shifted his attention from her, back to the paperwork on his desk. “Can I help you then? I can assist you now that I’m here

    ~A MONTH LATER~It was the Saturday morning of Amelia’s wedding with James, and everyone was busy doing one thing or the other. James was at his mansion with his father and friend, Tina. They were helping him look very good for his wedding. James didn’t have many male friends, so Charles hired some of his friends' sons to act like the friends of the groom. Amelia, on the other hand, was scrolling through her phone as she sat in Charles’ apartment. The news about her wedding was everywhere on the internet. This made her so nervous. Helen was next to her, watching closely what the makeup artist was doing. Helen had been so bent on making Amelia look so beautiful on her wedding day. She had also made sure that she got other things like, making the whole city know about the wedding so that women could stay away from James, the hall and church that was going to be used for the wedding, and many more, prepared. The makeup artist stopped working on Amelia’s face and asked her to check

    James looked at the congregation and divulged a fake smile. He lifted his elbow towards Amelia and looked at her. “I’m tired of standing here. Let’s go.” Amelia moved closer to him and wrapped her arm around his. They walked down the altar and proceeded down the narrow path in front of them. Amelia kept her head bowed as the people kept throwing flower petals on them. “Congratulations, Amelia Parker!” She heard someone shout, and she was forced to look up. She looked at the direction where the voice came from and her eyes fell on Ava. ‘Was she the one that greeted me?’ She wondered, when she saw the angry expression she had on as she stared at her. Different people were taking pictures of them from different angles. James kept his facial expression cold, while Amelia was shy and scared. They got out of the church gate, and Helen rushed to stand in front of them. “Let’s take pictures together!” She said to them excitedly. “Mom, I’m tired, okay?” James mumbled, and she shook he

    The wedding reception was arranged at the back of the church, in an open field. There was a large white shed to prevent the people and the meal from the sun. Helen and James got to the venue and saw some people were eating already. She searched the place with her eyes for Charles and saw him having a chat with Freddie. They seemed happy. “I’ll talk to your father. Find your wife. I’ll talk to you when I’m done.” She tapped his shoulder and walked up to Charles. James saw Amelia sitting on one of the chairs, she was staring at the meal in front of her hungrily. James scoffed and walked up to her. “If you want to eat it, just eat,” He mumbled and sat in front of her. She smiled faintly and looked up. “I was waiting for you. I was told that I can’t eat until you are here.” James raised his brows and chuckled. “So you decided to wait for me? Why?” “Errmm… So that we can eat together.” “And if I didn’t wait for the reception, would you have still waited for me?” He asked, and she

    ~After Five Years~“Amelia!” Elena called as she pulled up the dazzling white wedding gown she wore. “I’m coming! Can’t you stop making it so obvious that you’re nervous?! It’s your wedding day, not a horror show night.” Amelia rushed out of the room to the living room where Elena and a few friend that were the bridal trains were waiting for her. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I had to make sure I got my makeup right since I insisted on doing it myself. I have been practicing for over three years for this day. To do my makeup myself!” She said proudly. “And you didn’t disappoint me! You look absolutely stunning, sister.” “Thank you! You look so beautiful too! I bet you’ll look even more beautiful when you walk down the aisle with our father today.” She answered with great excitement. “Do you think he’ll make it? Do you think the judge would grant him a temporary release just to attend a wedding?” “Don’t worry about it too much, Elena. We already talked, okay? They have bee

    ~One Year Later~ “Bababa!” Alice called out to James, who was busy eating Amelia out in the kitchen. “James… James… Alice has been calling on you for minutes. Won’t you go and see her?” Amelia’s voice was barely heard by James. He raised his head from between Amelia’s legs and looked at her face. His lips curved out a smirk slowly and he stood up. He kissed her lips so she could taste herself in his mouth. “Can’t you just take her to school already? She doesn’t let me get freaky the way I want.” He whispered a few inches away from her lips. Amelia chuckled and pulled him closer with her legs. “I already told you that I’m working on that. I don’t want her to go to school in Alabama. Let’s go somewhere far from here.” “To where exactly? You’ve been saying this for months and I keep asking you where we should go. Are you yet to figure it out?”“I told you to let me know when you can leave the business here and relocate. Have you found someone competent to look over things here?”

    Instead of heading straight to the house, Penelope went down to the station to see Hopper and Freddie. She couldn’t keep the news of Clara still being alive to herself. She got to the station and waited till it was time for the conjugal visit. When it was time, she asked to see Hopper first. She was taken to a private room so that they could talk. She was happy she didn’t have to stay behind the desk to talk to him this time around. She was going to finally touch him after a long time. After a few minutes, Hopper arrived. Immediately he stepped into the room, a smile lit up his face. He opened his arms and embraced her. She was also fully ready to embrace him. “How are you, I missed you so much.” Hopper said as he broke the hug. “I missed you so much too, Hopper.” She responded and that both sat. Penelope heaved a sigh and gulped hard as she sat. Hopper furrowed his brows and looked at her closely. He could sense something wasn’t right with her. “Penelope. What is it this tim

    “Oh please, do you think you can scare me with those words? What can you do to me, hun? All you can do is throw me into jail like you did to my husband, then I finally get to be with him. I’m not scared of you, James.” “That’s enough, Mom! I never knew she could be insensitive about this matter. You are clearly at fault and you’re still acting so strong. You’ll lose everything you’ve always wanted and the ones you had always had.” Elena uttered. Penelope clutched her jaws and looked away from Elena. Deep down, she never wanted it to play out so badly, but now it had to be like that, she wasn’t ever going to act weak in front of them. “I have always known that you miss your husband so much. But I never thought you’d go to the extent of going to jail just to be with him. Well, congratulations, your wish would be wholly granted.” James added. “No.” Amelia uttered after a long time of silence, and everyone looked at her. “Amelia…” “She won’t be going to jail. I won’t press charges a

    ~The Next Day~ After sedating Susan to stop her from overthinking about what Amelia told her, she got better and before she knew it, she was discharged. Only Amelia stood with her throughout her stay in the hospital. James couldn’t go home either because he couldn’t let her be all by herself. He wasn’t going to let anything happen to her again. ‘I have lost her once, and that would never respect itself anymore.’ He told himself. Susan was taken to James' house after he got discharged. She was driven home in his car. She asked that Amelia let her call Tonia and explain what was going on so that she wouldn’t get too worried about her. Tonia told her she would find a time to visit her before the end of the week. She also was eager to know more about Susan, since she never caught a glimpse of her past life when she was still with her. Getting to the mansion, before they entered the house at all, the aroma of roasted chicken filled their nostrils. James smiled faintly and looked at

    Throughout the impromptu ride to the hospital, Penelope was quiet and in shock. Elena kept asking her why she called that strange woman Clara, but she seemed too stunned to speak. They got to the nearest hospital shortly, and Susan was rushed into the emergency ward. They were all asked to wait outside for the doctor and nurses to do their work. Amelia seemed to be more worried than the others because she feared something bad must have happened to her. “She’ll be fine, Amelia.” James tried to console her. Amelia shook her head and exhaled pretty hard. “I asked her to come with me, and now this happens? What if something bad happens to her? She has a guardian. What should I tell her if she finds out?” She worriedly answered. James didn’t know what to do other than console her till they heard from the doctor what had really happened. He didn't know anything about her yet. “Come here.” He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He patted her head slowly and planted a kiss

    “James?!” She called out, catching everyone unaware. The cops rushed out of their hiding places, and before Fred could realize what was going on, he was surrounded with cops who pointed their guns at him. “Your hands in the air!” They announced, and he raised his hands. James also proceeded out of his hiding spot and ran towards Amelia, who was also running to him happily with Alice in her arms. “Alice!” He called happily and opened his arms wide. Amelia ran into his arms, even though she was quite conscious about Alice that she carried in her arms. The first thing James did was carry Alice from her arms first and then embraced Amelia with his side. Alice took one side, Amelia took the other. “I have missed you so much, James.” Amelia mumbled and tears began to stream down her eyes. James shut his heated-up eyes pretty tight, and let his tears stream down freely. “I missed you so much too, Amelia. I thought I lost you.” He mumbled too. He opened his eyes after a few minutes an

    “She will be going home with us, Fred.” Amelia uttered and gave Susan a reassured nod. “What? Are you crazy? I can’t let a stranger go with us to the house. You know why I can’t.” He responded in anger. “Susan, can you please look after Alice for a few minutes? I need to talk to this man.” After giving the Walker to Susan, she walked up to Fred and exhaled softly as she started talking. “You abducted me, didn’t you? Not just me, but my child.” “Why are you saying this?” He answered almost immediately. “And since this happened, after I chose to be with you, have I ever bugged you or tried to run away? We sleep on the same bed, I know where you keep the keys to the door, so if I wanted to run I would have.” She took a pause and waited for him to say something else, but he didn’t. “If you can’t trust me, I see no reason why you want to be with me and my daughter. Can’t you just trust me the way I trust you? I left my daughter in your care, not the first time, but the second, becau

    Amelia, Fred and Alice got to the shopping mall shortly after a taxi dropped them off.“Here we are. Where do we start from?” Fred inquired. “We or I? Fred, you don’t have to go around looking for this woman for me. You don’t even know what she looks like. Just stick around with Alice. When I’m done, I’ll come to you. Please keep Alice safe. I trust you and that is why I’m letting you be with her.” Fred smiled widely and nodded. “You know how much I love you and Alice. I would never let anyone hurt you. We’d go around the mall, maybe to the Game Center. But please don’t stay too long. If you see or notice anything weird, call on me. I’ll come running.” Amelia divulged a soft smile and nodded too. She leaned closer to him and planted a soft kiss on his cheeks. “Thank you.” Amelia clutched her jaws slightly and turned to look. She looked around the mall and reminisced on where to start looking first. ‘The restroom.’ She thought and headed to the restroom. She often looked back at
