Amelia

I arrived at the mansion and pulled back into the driveway. I caught sight of Selene and Dean talking.

I stayed in the car, my eyes fixed on Selene and Dean's conversation. I could only see their mouths moving, but I couldn't hear them.

I leaned in, straining my ears trying to pick up even the faintest whisper but the wind blocked out any sound.

Selene's hands were gesturing towards the cars. Dean's expression was serious, he shook his head, his lips forming a "no".

I waited until Selene turned and walked away.

I think she saw me as she was leaving. I stepped out of the car and approached Dean. "Hey, is everything alright?"

He nodded, "Yes ma'am."

"What did she want?" I asked curtly.

"She just wanted to know which of the cars the boss will be taking to work tomorrow."

I turned my head scanning the cars parked there. "What did you say to her?"

"I told her to ask the boss."

"Okay, take care," I said before walking out and into the mansion.

"I wonder what she's up to this tim

    Amelia Alexander already has a lot on his plate right now, telling him about Selene's suspicious act would only add to it.I pushed the room door open, "You're fully dressed and ready." I said, walking into the room."Yes, Amelia. Is there something you want from me?" He asked."Actually, there is," I replied."What is it?" "Which car will you be driving today?" He raised an eyebrow, "Car? Why are you suddenly interested in that?" "Just answer," I insisted."Well, I've instructed Dean to get the Aston Martin ready for me.""Can I take it out instead?" "You can't be serious!" He exclaimed. "Of course, I am."He stared at me, "Amelia, that's the car I want to drive today. And by the way what makes you think you can drive it? Have you ever seen an Aston Martin before let alone driven one?"I smiled sweetly, "Of course, I know what an Aston Martin looks like. I'm not completely clueless, you know.""Really? Then what's the model of the car you're so eager to drive?"I hesitated for

    Amelia Was he watching me? How did he know I was here?"Oh God, I forgot," I muttered under my breath. I Rubbed my forehead, my eyes cast down in dismay.I'd completely forgotten he had someone keeping an eye on her!"Are you okay, Amelia?" She asked, gently tilting her head to get a better look at my face, her hand reaching out to touch my arm.""I have to go now. I'll see what I can do but I'm not promising you it would work." I stood up from the seat and was about to leave but she held my hand. "Please, Amelia," she implored, her voice trembling. "I know I may not deserve another chance, but I'm begging you... I did try to see them, I swear. I was imprisoned for two months when I attempted to visit them at school."She looked at me with pleading eyes, her grip on my hand tightening. "Maybe I gave up too easily, but I can't keep living knowing that my child despises me because of the lies his father planted in his head about me. Please, I want to be a part of their lives."As I ga

    Alexander "If you two want to continue arguing, then take it up to your room. I can hear your voices echoing through the walls of my room." Pa Martins said, slightly annoyed. "What is the argument about, anyway?""It's Victoria," I replied.He raised an eyebrow, "Victoria? Which of the Victoria?" "My father's wife." I specified."Why are you both arguing about her?" He asked."She's back and saying a lot of untrue things"His eyes widened slightly, "You mean she's back in New York City?" I nodded, confirming, "Yes, Pa."He let out a deep sigh, followed by a brief silence before he spoke up. "Come with me." He said, his voice tinged with unease.I glanced at Amelia, who remained frozen in one place, before following Pa Martins. He hastened to his study with me trailing behind."There are certain things that you are not aware of, son." He said, opening the door to his study and walking in. "Your father did a lot of things that I did not agree with." He removed a key from his desk dr

    Alexander "Mom!" I screamed, my voice lost in the chaos. "Excuse me, excuse me!" I pushed forward, my eyes fixed on the stretcher as it was loaded into the ambulance. I had to get to her. I had to know if she was lying on that stretcher. The crowd seemed to close in around me, a sea of faces blurring together as I struggled to break through.I elbowed my way past a bystander, my heart racing with every step. The officer's grip on my arm tightened, but I shook him off."MOM!!" I screamed again, my voice raw and desperate.The paramedics slammed the ambulance doors shut, and I lunged forward, my hands slapping against the metal. I was too late. They were taking her away from me, and I didn't even know if she was alive.I spun around, my eyes locking onto the officer's face. "Tell me if it's her!" I demanded, "Please, you have to tell me!""Sir, I need you to step back and let us do our job." The officer said.I stood there, frozen in despair, as the ambulance disappeared into the dis

    Amelia "The brakes were damaged!" I blurted out, my eyes wide with shock."Yes, Amelia. Isn't it strange how you instructed Dean to have it checked out without even driving it?" He asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.I knew Selene was up to no good when I saw her fiddling with the car.But the brakes? Was she trying to get him killed or something?The thought sent a chill down my spine. I glanced at Alexander, uncertain whether to share this with him or keep it to myself.Poor guy just rekindled with his mother. I'll deal with Selene myself."Well, I did notice something was wrong with the car when I tried driving it. I just didn't know what it was, so I asked Dean to get the mechanic to take a look." I lied."Hmmm." He grunted. "Alright, I'll be downstairs.""I'll join you in a bit," I replied, watching as he turned and left the room.I rose from the bed and made my way to Selene's room. I rapped my knuckles against the door, the sound echoing through the silent hallway. The door

    Alexander I entered the room, calling out for Amelia, but she was nowhere to be found. A hint of confusion crept in as I approached the bathroom door and knocked. "Amelia, are you in there?" I asked, but the silence was my only response. I gently pushed the door open, and still, there was no sign of her.I made my way to the closet, my hand reaching for the handle. Just as I was about to open it, a soft frustrated voice drifted out from within."All my clothes are useless. I can't go to do party wearing any of this!" I hesitated, wondering if she was talking to herself, or if there was someone in there with her. "Hayley!" She exclaimed.Oh, Hayley!. Her best friend.She was on the phone to her, venting."How am I supposed to go with Alexander wearing the clothes I've been wearing for months?" I smiled, was she trying to impress me?I stepped away from the door and slipped out of the room, pulling out my phone as I went. I quickly dialled the number of my trusted stylist, knowing

    Amelia"Alexander," the sound of his name fell from my lips like a plea. I wasn't begging him to stop. No, I wanted him to have me.I pushed my face forward, inches from his, anticipating the touch of his lips on mine. But instead of meeting me halfway, he hesitated, his mouth hovering just above mine.Teasing?Yeah.His hands held me in place as he crushed his growing erection between my thighs, pushing my back against the wall. He let out a low groan, dropping his head to the curve of my neck, his hot breath caressed my skin, and he sucked on it.I breathed in shakingly.“Tell me to stop,” he whispered hoarsely as his lips slightly grazed my mouth. “Tell me to stop, Amelia.”I couldn't. My lips failed to move as I stood there, eager to taste his essence, even if it was for one night. Even if he was drunk and barely aware of what he was doing.I wanted him. I wanted him badly. There was no resistance from my side.Slowly, I put my hands into action, unbuttoning his shirt. Stepping o

    Alexander My eyes fluttered open and I was met with the serene sight of Amelia's face, sleeping peacefully. My hand instinctively reached out to cradle her cheek, my fingers tracing the gentle curves of her features and a soft smile spread across my face.I sat up, tossing the covers aside, and was met with the realization that I was completely naked.Holy shit! It wasn't a dream!What have I done? How do I explain this? I burst into the bathroom and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water envelop me as I stood there, lost in thought, reliving the events of the previous night.Glancing down at my right arm, I noticed the faint scratch marks, from fingernails I guess, a reminder of the passion we shared. The memory of her moaning my name, her voice trembling with pleasure, soon followed, flooding my mind.Was I regretting what had happened?We were both adults, right? It doesn't have to complicate anything. In less than 8 months she would be out of my life. What happened

    Alexander“Hey,” her voice cut softly through the haze of my sleep.My eyes fluttered open to find her sitting on the edge of the bed, her hair tousled and a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “Good morning, darling,” I murmured, leaning forward to place a kiss on her lips. My fingers brushed her cheek as I pulled back. “How was your night?”She raised a brow. “You mean after you kept me awake for hours working on my body?”A chuckle rumbled from my chest as I propped myself up on my elbow. “I call that productive use of time.”“Productive?” she repeated, rolling her eyes dramatically. “You’ve got quite the definition of productivity, Alexander.”I reached out, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her back down onto the bed. She squealed in protest, but her laughter betrayed her enjoyment.“You didn’t seem to mind last night,” I teased, my lips brushing against her ear.Her cheeks flushed. “You’re impossible, you know that?”“And yet, here you are,” I said, smirking as I tigh

    Selene “Hey, girl,” I said, standing up and rushing to hug Sarah as soon as she walked in. I wrapped my arms tightly around her. “I’m so sorry for what happened.”“It’s okay, Selene. It wasn’t your fault. You saw the signs and tried to warn me. I just wasn’t paying attention.”I pulled back slightly, holding her by the shoulders. “I knew that son of a bitch was up to something,” I muttered.She sighed and moved past me to sit on the couch. “I wish I wasn’t so blinded by love.”“Has he been found?” I asked, walking over to sit beside her. “Do they know where he is?”Sarah shook her head. “I don’t know. Alexander has people looking for him.”“So, they don’t know where he is,” I said flatly.“Yeah,” she confirmed. “All I know is that he’s out there somewhere, and I just hope Alexander’s people find him.”“What…” I hesitated for a moment, then asked. “what will Alex do to him when he finds him?”“I don’t know. But you know how Alexander is. Whatever he has planned for Henry won’t be good

    Amelia Ella gestured toward the security guards stationed inside the house, her frustration written all over her face. “When do you think this will end?” she asked, her tone heavy with exasperation.I shook my head. “I don’t know.”“God, I just want this to be over,” she groaned. “I’m so sick of them following me everywhere. I even had to skip a party because I didn’t want to feel embarrassed.”I raised an eyebrow. “I thought having bodyguards was supposed to make you look cool.”She let out a sharp laugh, the kind that carried more annoyance than amusement. “Cool? Are you serious? It’s a party, not a red carpet event. The guards would just scare everyone off, keep them from even getting close to me. How am I supposed to meet anyone like that? How am I supposed to find the perfect guy? I just want to get laid, for God’s sake.”“I’m sorry, Ella. Alexander just wants us to be safe. Henry is still out there and—”She cut me off, throwing her hands up. “I know, I know! But I don’t think

    Henry I glanced up from the stack of papers on my workbench when the sound of footsteps reached my ears. There he was, my father, strolling into my sanctuary like he owned the place. He pulled out a wooden chair and sat down, making himself comfortable.My relationship with my father was… complicated. He and I didn't always see eye to eye on a lot of things but I still loved him. He was the only family I had left. And family is important. At least that’s what people always said, right?“So, this is where you’ve been hiding. In your man cave,” he said, his tone as casual as ever.“Dad, what are you doing here?” I asked. “Didn’t I tell you to leave the country?”His jaw tightened. “Why should I leave for him? He’s the one who should be running, not me. I’m not afraid of him.”I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. “I never said you were, Dad. But Alex is probably out there looking for me right now. You shouldn’t have come. You might’ve led him here without realizing it.”I crossed

    Alexander “Have you found him?” I snapped into the phone, pacing the room as my PI droned on.“No, but I’m doing everything—”“Fuck!” I cut him off sharply, the word tearing out of me before I could stop it. “Don’t call me again unless you’ve found him. Do you understand?”“Yes, sir,” he muttered and the line went dead.I stared at the phone in my hand, my frustration boiling over. “How hard is it to find one damn person?” I growled, hurling the phone against the wall. I couldn’t believe that bastard was still out there. After the disaster at the wedding, I’d insisted that Sarah and my mom stay at my mansion. There was no way I was leaving them alone, not with the risk hanging over all of us.The door to my study swung open suddenly, breaking my train of thought. My head snapped up. “Amelia,” I breathed out.“Are you okay?” she asked as she stepped into the room, her eyes scanning me. “I heard you yelling.”“Yeah. The PI I hired still hasn’t found Henry. I was yelling at him.” I mu

    Alexander Sarah’s voice was thick with confusion as she stood beside Henry. “Alexander, Charlie. What’s going on?” she asked, her eyes darting between the two of us.Henry shot me a glare, his annoyance practically radiating off him.I didn’t give a damn. That bastard needed to feel my anger.I turned to the man standing beside them—his priestly robes suddenly irritating me more than they should. “Get out of here, priest,” I said, gesturing sharply toward the door.Without waiting to see if he obeyed, I turned to the rest of the room. “You can all leave now. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for coming.” My voice was tight, barely polite.Sarah’s eyes flared with anger. “What the hell, Alexander? What are you doing?”I met her furious gaze without flinching. “Trust me, Sarah. You don’t want them here for this.”Her expression hardened, and her voice rose in defiance. “Maybe you’re the one who shouldn’t be here,” she snapped. “You kept everyone waiting, and now you show u

    Amelia "Does Alexander plan on missing his sister's wedding?" Victoria whispered in my ear, her voice tight with concern.I shook my head quickly. "No, he said he would be here."Her brow furrowed as she glanced at the door, then back at me. "Then where is he? The ceremony has already started. He's supposed to walk Sarah down the aisle. Have you called him?"I felt a pang of unease in my chest. No, I hadn’t called him. But I should have."I forgot my phone in the car," I muttered."Please, find a way to reach him. If he doesn’t get here soon, his grandfather will have to take his place. We can’t keep waiting for him.""Alright." "Alright," I replied, though a knot tightened in my stomach.Alexander was never late. He should’ve been here by now. What if something had happened to him?I pushed the thought aside, trying to shake off the rising unease. With a shaky breath, I pulled my key from my pocket to unlock the car but froze when I saw a strange man in black jeans and a leather

    AlexanderI burst into the room, my heart racing. "Fuck man, we have to get out of here now!" I exclaimed.Charlie looked up at me, his eyes filled with concern. "What happened?" he asked, struggling against the restraints that bound him to the chair.I scanned the room frantically, searching for an alternate escape route. "Is there another way out of this house? A back door, maybe?"Charlie shook his head. "Dude, I've been tied up for days. I don't even know where we are.""Fuck, fuck." I muttered a string of curses under my breath, pacing back and forth across the room. We had to get out, and fast."Your 'get- me- out-of- here' plan not working, huh?" he quipped, a small smile played on his face.I halted my frantic pacing, my eyes locking onto Charlie's grinning face. Irritation simmered beneath my surface."Wipe that fucking grin off your face, Charlie," I growled. "This isn't a joke. There's a man at the door, and I think he's here to take you out. If we don't get out of here no

    Alexander I let out a sigh of relief as Sarah finally answered my call. "Hello, my handsome brother," her voice slurred through the line.I rolled my eyes. I'd been waiting for what felt like an eternity for her to pick up, and now I was met with her drunk chatter."I've called more than a hundred times, Sarah.""Really? Why, Alexander? Do you want to join my party?" Sarah's voice was laced with a playful giggle. "We are short of strippers. I mean, I have no interest in seeing your body... eww... but my friends seem to think that you're hot and sexy."I placed my hand on my forehead, shaking it in dismay. How was I supposed to have a serious conversation with my drunk sister? "No, I don't want to strip or be a stripper in your party. I called you for something more important.""You want to be among my bridesmaids?" she asked.I tried to steer the conversation back on track, but Sarah's drunken haze seemed to warp her understanding. I sighed inwardly. "No, Sarah. Do you remember wh
