"Are you having wedding jitters," Steve said beside Mike. He was dressed in a three-piece suit, alongside Mike. Mike had been quiet, reminiscing on Amelia's words about their marriage. He was thinking of ways to get her to change her mind about it. "Wow, man, chill. You are the one bringing the bride home. You are not leaving your home."

He turned towards Steve with a raised brow, "Can you just shut up? I am the one getting married, but you have been talking non-stop. I don't have wedding jitters, just needed some minutes to myself."

Steve nodded with a smile. He couldn't relate to Mike, but he tried to understand him sometimes. The pressure Mike was under was nothing strange to him, and he would have acted the same way. He couldn't imagine getting married to some strange woman, all because he wanted to please his family.

The car ride to Amelia's place was silent. The Afonso had gone with three cars; one for the groom and his best man, one for his parents, and one for Shar

    Amelia stood in front of the mansion that would soon be called her home. Her parents-in-law had hugged her, welcoming her to the family, while introducing the newly wedded to their wing of the mansion. It was their wedding present to Mike. They wanted him to have his privacy with his wife without involving the whole family but made Amelia promise to eat dinner with them once in a while. Amelia nodded; she didn't eat dinner with her family at home, so it was going to be a nice change. The wing that was allocated to them looked new. Mike pulled her close to him, "Are you ready to start your new life, Mrs. Afonso?"Amelia continued staring at the mansion. It was a question, she had no answer to. Was she ready to start a new life, after discovering that her family might not be hers? How could she start a new life when they were untold stories about her past she needed to uncover? After all, it was said that one's past and present determine their future. She knows her prese

    The door of the room vibrated, and all Mike could do was stare at it. She wasn't what he had expected at all. Given, he had no idea who his wife was. All he knew about her was her name, and the list of things her parent had told his parents about her. Apart from that, he had no idea she was going to be that stubborn or counter every word that came out of his mouth. Although that was going to change soon, he deserved to know his wife. They might not be allowed to go on their honeymoon, but nothing was going to stop him from giving her a honeymoon here at home.He changed out of his suit, to one of his casual round tops and shorts. He needed to know where his wife has stormed off too. She had dropped the box in anger when he refused to allow her to move to the guest room and stormed out of their room. If she planned to avoid him for this one year, then his plan was simple. It was to bring her closer to him. He had never had a family he was close to, but this was going to be d

    The room was so silent that a drop of pins could be heard, Mike sat beside Amelia. The only member of the family absent was Sharon. She wasn't summoned to the meeting by their parents. Mike's eyes moved from his father who sat on his favorite chair like the king of the world, to his mother who sat opposite them. The reason they were summoned was unknown to them both, but they had woken up this morning to a call from one of the maids."Good to have you both here. Amelia, welcome to the family."Amelia nodded but didn't say a word. Mike had no idea if she was afraid or nervous, but he knew he was nervous. Every time his parent called him into the study, it had always been to discuss something important. His hand moved towards Amelia's until he found it. He held her hand where his parents wouldn't see it and squeezed it. He was expecting her to fight him, but she squeezed his hand back, which gave him a bit of assurance."I called you guys for a little family discussion. I know

    "You don't have a phone?" Mike stared at Amelia in horror. She hides the smile that threatened to leave her lips. Anyone would have thought she said she committed murder. It wasn't that bad. She wasn't allowed to have a phone at home, and the one she had she had given it Loveth. "How's that possible?""I gave my phone to a friend. She needs it more than I do."Actually, Loveth didn't have any need for a phone. She gave it to her, so she could pass any important information to her through it, but she wasn't going to tell Mike that. They might have decided to be friends, but everyone still has their life to live."Oh! That explains it. Why didn't you get a new phone then?""I got married to you, and haven't left this mansion in a day."Mike smiled at her. He looked more handsome when he was smiling like that, and Amelia refused to fall for that. Her freedom was more important. "How about we go shopping today? You know as a couple."She rolled her eyes, "What happened to not

    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE"What do you think about this product?" Sharon raised the latest iPhone in front of her. Amelia only smiled. "Does it matter the product, as long as it can do whatever any phone can?"Mike smiled at that, pulling Amelia away from her. "Go for this, Amelia. We can have a couple phone? It will be nice."Amelia loved the way he added her to everything, but being independent of someone else had never been part of her. And, being independent on Mike was the last thing she wanted for herself at the moment. She would rather start learning how to hold her own. "I think I will just pick this." She raised a phone different from the one Mike and Sharon had shown her.Sharon sulked, "I will forgive you for this, but you are choosing what I pick for you next."Mike smiled and pulled Sharon away from her. "You want her to pick her sister-in-law over her husband?"Sharon frowned, "I am not just her sister-in-law. I am also her new best friend. Don't you agree, Ames?"Ames

    The whispers almost made Amelia cower; she had never been the attention of so many people at once. She wore a royal blue peplum dress that hugged her body like it was made just for her. Sharon had insisted it was the perfect dress for her first day at work. And although she wasn't the subject matter, she couldn't help but feel self-conscious about everything."We have a new Managing Director. Most of us won't know him because he is new in the country, but we know him by name. Meet Mike Afonso."The noise increased. Mike already gathered a lot of attention because of his looks; the fact that he is Mike Afonso only increased the murmur among the workers. Especially the ladies, Mia caught some of them adjusting their dresses in a filthy manner. She sneered at them. He was a married man, bitches."And this is Amelia Myers, she is his Assistant."She heard them groaning, and some even eyed her. Great. She already made enemies on her first day of work because of her husband. The

    Mike couldn't believe he had all those work on his first day at work. He prepared, and he had thought it would make it easy for him to find work easy, but it was more than he had expected. He tried to divide his work into different sections to make it easier. By the time he raised his head from his work, it was already lunchtime. He groaned, staring at the numerous things he still had to do. He picked up his phone to call his wife when he saw a notification from Phoenix12. He smiled. He had been bothered about her for a long time, but there was no way to get in touch with her. He wished he had her number or something. She would love Amelia, he was certain of that. She had congratulated him on his marriage.'Thanks, Phoenix. I missed you online.'His stomach grumbled, making him swap his call. He called Amelia, but she wasn't picking up. He wanted them to eat together on their first day at the office. It wasn't a bad idea. They were both new here without friends, so they

    "What's the meaning of the stunt you played at work?" Amelia had just closed the door behind her before she turned to look at Mike. He looked at peace with himself, like he hadn't just flirted in her present. A smug smile replaced his unbothered look, making Amelia want to swipe the stupid smile off his face. She wasn't violent, but they had promised to be faithful to each other. How could he go ahead flirting with the ladies, on the first day of work?"What stunt?" He asked innocently.She blinked; was that how he wanted to play this game? Acting as if he had no idea what she was talking about when he fully knows what she was talking about. Instead of responding, she stormed into their room locking the door behind immediately. She took comfort in the fact that he would be in the living room without a change of cloth. She picked up her phone and sent a message to the two most important people in her life.Pheonix12: Good to hear you are happy to be married, Vold. I had some i

    Epilogue Amelia had slept all through the trip; being pregnant only makes her wants to sleep all the time. By the time she felt a little nudge by her side they were somewhere far from home. She could barely pinpoint exactly where Mike had taken them to, but the bright sun and the beach side felt strangely familiar. The air was different too. More natural and makes her lean more into him. She felt like she had seen this numerous time, but it also felt like she hadn’t seen it before. Mike assisted her from the car, and it all hit her like a wave. She had the picture of this in her room for a long time. She had sigh looking at him and thinking it there was heaven, this would be it. It seemed so out of reach then like she could never get here no matter how much she tried, but here she was with her husband. She jumped on Mike. “Are you serious?”He nodded, “Of course, I am serious. I bought this place for you.”Her heartbeat raced. It was a different thing visiting the place she had

    The whole room was silent as everyone anticipated the next word out of the newscaster’s mouth. In front of the newscaster, in the left corner of the television was an old picture with five young men and women, with some children sitting on the floor in front of them in a chain. It was easy enough to tell the relationship of the children with the adult. They looked so good while the children looked like they could barely stand without falling. They looked malnourished. The headline was the most captivating; Child Trafficking exposed.They had exposed the names of everyone involved in the trafficking and declared them wanted. Apart from those in the pictures, the journalists were able to fish out more people backing them up behind the scenes. It was a bigger syndicate than Mike expected. It might be one of the reasons; that it was easier for Alfred to cover up the death of his parents.The picture made it easier for Mike’s man to find out a lot about Alfred and to get more vital infor

    The news spread faster than Mike had expected, and his wife’s phone had continued to ring non-stop since the announcement. It was mostly from her foster family. He was certain there would be more calls from the company, but there was no finding out because he had forbidden them from reaching out to him. If they couldn’t handle those calls, they don’t deserve to be paid the amount they were. The families were spread out in the main mansion, all seated on the couch listening to the news. Every station talked about the sudden appearance of ‘Anne’ and the ownership of D&D, which suddenly brought back the hidden fraud cases. No one could get closer to the Afonso’s mansion, so they were perfectly at ease at home. Mike held Amelia’s phone, thinking she would be tempted to pick it up if the call was too much. If there were something Mike would thank the journalist for, it was their speed of linking up gossip. In a short time, they were able to figure out about Amelia’s identity and link her

    Florence had displayed different emotions with her eyeballs within those few minutes, and at last, she settled for fake tears as she gripped the edge of his table, “I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t know much about him. He barely says important thing in front of me.”Mike narrowed his eyes at her, barely moved by her tears, “Seems you just decided your job isn’t precious to you. I’ll ask the HR to type your…”“No sir,” she screamed. Mike raised a brow at her. “I’m ready to talk.”And she did.She split every little thing she knew about Alfred; most she had gathered illegally, maybe hoping to threaten him when they had a misunderstanding. Anyway, it would work well for Mike without putting much effort into finding things about Alfred.After she had split her gust out, he dismissed her and called the H.R. to fire her. Someone who could be so greedy was of no benefit to the company; she could easily tell others their company secrets to gather favors for herself.Glad from all he had gathered f

    As Mike checked his phone, he shared a look with Steve, and they both smiled. It was time to go home. Mike made a call to get a new car before they went home.Amelia couldn’t hide her anxiety after waking up and she didn’t see Mike by her side. He had just gotten hurt, and she knew he might be on one of his dangerous missions. If only he could tell her about it; he keeps trying to protect her.She stood beside the door and called him numerous times, but he wasn’t picking up, which only scared her more. Her mother had tried peeling her away from the door, but it was useless.When Amelia heard a car moving into the mansion, she ran out with Anne hot on her leg. She was super excited until she saw it was a different car, and her legs faltered on the way. The car stopped directly in front of the main mansion, and Sharon came out before Mike’s aunt.Guilt filled her as she watched his uncle come out of the car. Ever since she had gotten her mother out of the hospital, she hadn’t gone back

    Mike woke earlier than the previous day, and although his hand hurt like crazy, he unbound the bandage and tried some hand exercises he had seen online last night.Amelia was sound asleep, which was the best. He knew she suspected things, which was one of the reasons he needed to act faster. Thankfully, her foster father had fallen into his trap after his short visit to his house, and the accident was somehow a blessing in disguise. To them, he was in a serious accident. They thought he was still unconscious. He had made sure that the hospital said that if anyone called to ask of a Michael Afonso apart from his wife.It made it easier for him to carry out his operations without them suspecting him. He dressed quietly and called Steve to join him.During their previous investigation, they found out that most of the children would be shipped out of the orphanage today because they already suspected Mike was up to something. Now, it was up to him to save the children, and recuperating

    The sound of the ambulance and the continuous shouting matched Amelia’s heartbeat. Sharon ran beside her, trying to calm her down, but Amelia pushed through every person and thing until she got to the hospital reception.The disadvantage of her speed was that she couldn’t say a word as she tried to catch her breath. Thankfully, Sharon was quick to ask the receptionist, “Michael Afonso.”The nurse nodded and started typing on her laptop; by then, Amelia had regained her breath, “Where’s my husband?” she screamed, gaining the attention of others in the hospital. Sharon ran beside her, trying to calm her down when another nurse walked up to them. She spoke with Sharon for a while before leading them towards the V.I.P. section of the hospital.As soon as she saw Steve outside the ward, Amelia rushed towards the room, ignoring Steve at the door. Sharon stopped to talk with Steve,Mike lay on the bed with a bandaged arm, but he seemed alright.Amelia ran towards him and started touching ev

    When Mike woke up the next morning, Amelia was fast asleep. He moved out of the bed as silently as he could, trying to avoid waking her up. She looked so lovely asleep, so he planted a kiss on her forehead. Her forehead wrinkled, and he almost beat himself for waking her up until she sighed, turned, and went back to sleep. Mike let out a breath of relief.He knew Amelia was already suspicious of whatever was happening, but he didn’t want her to wake up before he left. He did everything as silently as possible before exiting the room.The moment the door closed, Amelia opened her eyes and jumped out of the bed as quickly as she could with her baby bump. She picked the first dress she saw and wore it quickly. She waited to listen to Mike’s car sound before she ran to the nearest car to follow him.She didn’t think about anything as she jumped in the car and drove after him. Hiding from someone while following them was easier in a movie, but to her, it seemed Mike knew she was following

    Amelia paced in the room with her phone in her hands. She kept trying to call Mike, but he wasn’t picking up her call. “I told you to sit down. I’m sure Mike’s fine. He might be driving.” Anne tried to reassure her.She shook her head, “You don’t get it, mum. Mike did all he could to prove he’s worthy to led company. Can you imagine how he might feel knowing he had been dismissed as the C.E.O.”If it weren’t for Anne, she would have been on the way to the company now, but her mother blocked the way, preventing her from going out, which resulted in her calling Mike multiple times. But Mike wasn’t picking up her call.“He must be very devastated right now, Mum. As his wife, I should be beside him in times like this. I should be where he is.”Anne closed the gap between them, stopping her from pacing around the room. “Fine, Amelia. If you want to see him that badly, I can drive you to the company.”For a second, she thought it was a great idea but suddenly shook her head. “No, mum. Hav
