Amelia presented the drinks on their table with her head bowed down.

She felt so silly she could not look Christian in the eye.

She met Kristopher's eyes but offered no explanation.

The friends were chattering, enjoying the night, dining in the rooftop club.

The view was breathtaking, the skyline, the wind blew so perfectly, the clear sky was all black.

Amelia was done for the day, she was given the money for the day and her shift was now, over.

Walking pass by them, she heard Blair's pleasant voice when she said, "Hey, Amelia. Come and join us for the drinks."

"No, thanks. I can't sit and have drinks with my customers."

"Oh, come on. My dad will ask the owner to raise your pay and give you some extra tips. And it's no big deal to have drinks with the customers," Blair winked in her direction as she was completely drunk.

More of it, she was taunting her.

Amelia clenched the purse in her hand and replied, "That's so sweet of

    "How can I tell all this to grandma? She will kill me..." Christian, stood up in fidgety as he paced back and forth, thinking of something else."Maybe, she'll help you... She knows you more than your parents," Kristopher said and the handsome hunk replied, "Don't you know, Kristopher? She will think about her reputation first...""What about you, my grandson? Who do you love?" asked the old grandfather and he hesitated as he replied, "Me? I-I don't love anyone...""Oh hush! I have seen the sounds of moaning coming from your room and the girl sneaking out in the middle of the night."Kristopher's eyes were bulged out in astonishment, he gulped nervously for he's been caught.''The second me and your grandmother arrived here, we sensed something was wrong. You both ran away from New York just to escape the engagement and you both were with the girls.""So? When am I meeting my granddaughter-in-law?" asked the old man and Kristopher replied, "We are

    She stood up and walked to the washroom to take a bath. While closing the door, she felt it was stopped in the midway.When Amelia saw, the foot of the handsome hunk was in the middle of the door."Where are you going?" he asked and she replied, "Shower, Christian. If my majesty agrees, can I go and take the shower? I don't want to be late for work,""Indeed, you can but let me come in with you," he replied pissing her off when she pushed the door and it hurt him when he hissed in pain."Oh my God! Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry..." she went on her knees to see if he has hurt his foot or not when he also got on his knees, his eyes soft for her, so were hers."If I'm laying here with you, it doesn't mean I forgive you, it's just because of Amelia and Christian. I don't want to divert their attention," Hope said to Kristopher who replied, "But you can't resist me.""Oh darling, I can..." she replied and he chuckled while he replied, "Oh yeah? Th

    "It's enough for today, my love," he kissed her lips and said while she kept on staring at him.They showered together, quietly, just eye contact was enough.When they were out of the shower, she realised the man was engaged as her eyes got fixed on the ring which was on his finger."What's wrong, love?" he asked and she reached out to hold his hand when she showed him the ring on his finger as she said, "This... this is wrong, Christian.""Even if I forget it for a second that you are not mine, your bloody ring makes me realise this,""So, then I must not wear it in front of you..." he tried to pull off the ring when she stopped him by saying, "Does it matter if you don't wear your ring in front of me? Does it mean that you are not engaged anymore? No... so please, stop," she was wearing a bathrobe and a towel on her head when she walked to Hope's room where she saw the couple was drying each other.Although they were wearing bathrobes Amel

    "All she said was against me! I don't believe her!" Christian was fierce, more of it, he was exhausted... playing this game.He has to make a decision, now."You made things more complicated for him," Matt spoke, sipping his tea when Stacey replied, "He's a grown-ass man. He will figure something out. What I know is he will choose Blair over her," Stacey was so sure that it made Matt confused for a second."Okay, relax. Let's have a drink..." Kristopher said when Christian replied, "I'm going to check up on my princess,""Your princess is right here..." they heard a familiar female voice and turning around they saw it was none other than Christian's fiance, Blair.They exchanged looks for he was calling Amelia his princess but not Blair."Oh, hey. I was coming for you..." he said smiling when she replied, "Christian, do you mind if I go to the spa for services? I'm kind of feeling I need to get it done.""Yea, sure. We will meet tonight," he

    There was a party going on in the Carrusel when Christian dragged her in the club.The club is electric tonight, everyone feeding off of the smiles and fast dancing. The music was as loud as thunder; it made the cutlery on the tabletops rattle. Neon lights flashed everywhere like police sirens, but much more colourful."Let's go back, Christian. It's late and you're drunk," she said, a worried expression on her face when he put his finger on her lips, "I can't hear ya! And please don't talk."With that, he grabbed her hand and both of them walked to the bar and he ordered whiskey for them, she didn't want to drink and she did what she could to say no but he was too stubborn to understand.He handed her the glass and asked, "Do you trust me?" and she didn't reply, pausing for a second, then with rolling eyes, she took the glass from him and took a large sip of the drink.She was lost in the club around those people, with the music so loud, her inner part

    They had coffee and then came back in their senses, they didn't discuss anything.Christian called Kristopher and asked him to pick him up from Carrusel.Kristopher was waiting out of the club, leaning back on his car when he saw the familiar faces walking out of the club. He was astonished to see as he speaks, "What? Both of you were together the whole night?""Yea, it's all his fault," she said annoyed as she opened the rear door of the car and got seated, slamming the car door.Kristopher and Christian exchanged looks when he spoke, "Did you bring coffees?" and the best friend gave a nod.Kristopher was driving and Christian was sitting in the passenger seat and Amelia on the back seat."Blair is worried sick..." Kristopher said and Amelia rolled her eyes by saying, "Of course, she is sick.""What did you guys do?"

    Amelia stepped out of the elevator and was walking to through the reception when an old lady behind her, was walking slowly with a stick on her hand for the support.Suddenly she heard a low hiss of the woman, turning around she saw the lady was on the floor, her hand tight on the chest. She was having a cardiac attack.Amelia ran to her and shouted for help. The hotel receptionist called for the ambulance quickly and a few people came with a stretcher.All the time the old lady was holding Amelia's hand while she was unconscious.She went in the ambulance with the old lady when the doctor asked, "Are you her family?" and she shook her head.A nurse took the old lady's phone and dialled the number of her family members while Amelia was there, truly terrified, fidgety all over her face."Her family members are being informed," said the nurse while they were now reached to the hospital.The doctors took the old lady inside the operation theatr

    The soft sky above, sharp stones underfoot and the clouds caressed with reflected light. The lacy waves are a drumbeat that echoes her heart, the breeze blows the tension right out of her bones and all the while, the birds' arc above, masters of the salty updrafts.The waves come in as a deep aquamarine and turn golden as they churn the sand on the shore. Each hue is made more pretty by the brilliant white of the crests, drawing the eye away from the cloudless sky.The cool water laps at her feet, fizzing and bubbling like brine. Even though the sun is beating on her back, beaming in her eyes, she can't help but smile as the wind caresses her face. Waves ahead roar and roll down, crashing onto the shore with a soft hiss; peeling away at the deep bronze sand beneath her feet.Without hesitation, she plunges into the blue-green water. A chill surges through her, but a small wave washes it away.She walks further and further, thinking of her life as a wave

    "That girl there... in the wedding dress who is pretending to be the heartbroken one.. is actually the one who caused me agony and pain. She slept with the guy who was the marketing manager in my company. Not even one time... but many times. Also, Blair hid that she can't be a mother, ever!" he spat in anger when Blair's eyes were nothing but bulged out."So, tell me, people. Who would marry the girl who betrayed me two fucking times? I would never...""Amelia had sacrificed her love for me... she told me to marry her. Why? Because my happiness is much more important to her. Even though she's carrying my child..." he added confidently making all of the guests chocked while Blair was going insane."Christian Valentino! You can't do this to me!" Blair piqued in anger as she walked to him whilst her arm was being held in the midway."Papa..." she murmured when her father's face was covered with scorn.Blair gulped and added, "Papa, he is lying.

The wedding was also an occasion for socializing.Blair's face was impassive, she was clearly annoyed.The guests were gossiping about the bride and the groom. Everybody was thinking that the groom wasn't coming and he ditched her at the last moment.Stacey was so sure that her grandson has run away but the best friend was here. He might know something."Amelia..." Christian said in a low voice when he saw Amelia was standing close to the water, her bare feet on the sand.In front of her were the magnificent view, the sea, the sky and the wind.The waves roll in, each of them as strong and bold as the last. They come without fear of the beach, embracing their destiny upon the dawn sands. Amelia walks forwards until the water soaks her bare feet, her shoes already dangling in her left hand.

    Weddings are grand affairs. Normally, it only occurs once in a lifetime. It brings about a bondage between a man and a woman.They promised to share the happiness and the sorrows together. It is a very pure bond in the whole world.The wedding hall was all illuminated with different colour bulbs and decorated with pots of flowers, pots and other glittering decorations. A magnificent platform was erected which held two throne-like chairs for the bride and the bridegroom.The platform and the stage was the banquet hall of a five-star hotel with its thick red carpets and floral decorations. The cool fragrance was so strong that everyone left sleepy. There was a place by the side for music troops with their enormous music instruments. They played loud and soft music.The marriage party was to start at six in the evening and the wedding reception was scheduled at eight in the night.A big white canopy with tons of white lilies and purple orchids were pl

    "Listen to me, Bryce..." Blair whispered in a very low voice when she was in the suite of the Plaza Hotel, surrounded by the makeup artists."Excuse me, people..." she said to the makeup artists and hairstylists who went away leaving the two of the friends."What is it?" Bryce asked sipping the glass of her wine as she was comfortably leaning back on the seat, wearing a bathrobe.Blair's hair was half tied up while the rest let loose on her both sides of the shoulders."By the way, you are going to make a very pretty bride," the best friend complimented when Blair rolled her eyes as she hushed her up."Shut up and listen to me..." Blair said when she continued, "I can't conceive...""What do you want to conceive anyway?" Bryce asked with a narrowed brow and Blair, again, rolled her eyes."Are you drunk, already?" she asked with an irritated face and Bryce nodded saying, "Because it's my best friend's fucking wedding.""Also, sh

    The wedding day has arrived and Christian's anxiety was increasing with every minute passing by.He was awake but not leaving the bed, scared to step out and face the world.Amelia, who woke up before him and had a shower and prepared the breakfast, walked in the room and spoke, "Come on, have something. The breakfast is ready."He tossed to the other side saying, "Not hungry..." and she knew why he wasn't eating."Christian..." she stepped in the bed and put her small hand on his face to cup it as she spoke, "Christian... you are a strong guy. Don't be a coward.""I am a coward, Amelia. I can't face the world. I can't face Blair and all of my family members and the press and... and you... How can I face you after the wedding? How can I part the time from my schedule to handle two women at a time, if that's what you're thinking," he blurted out without thinking and sits to lean back on the bed as he continued, "You the most important person i

    "No need to wear the bow with it," Kristopher said to his best friend who was checking the bow if it matched with his tuxedo."I was thinking the same," he replied as he gave the bow back to the sales guy.Christian and Kristopher were in the Armani store, selecting the wedding suit for the groom.His face was impassive, he had no excitement, no happiness or any other emotion in his face.Tomorrow is his wedding and he is not happy at all. What was he waiting for? The wedding to happen or the wedding to get stopped?"Christian, your grandma wants to meet you..." Kristopher informed him when he was lost in deep thoughts.When the guilt comes it takes him down the old familiar path. He wants to refuse to walk it, pretend that he's the person he demands that he would be. He wants to see himself in sepia tones, not perfect colour. He wants to scrub his head, but if he did he'd never learn from what happened. And it's true what they say, “T

    Christian and Amelia were bare skin, laying close to each other, her head rested on his chest as she heard the slow heartbeats of him.His heart beats around her was always leisure as if he was calm and relaxed with her.The ring of his phone interrupted their peace and as he saw the name, he quickly stood up from the bed, wearing his clothes, as he attended the call."Yes, Blair?" he spoke when he turned the speaker on, wearing the pants."Baby, where are you?" she asked in a sweet voice when Amelia quickly made an awkward face by squinting her eyes as she raised one side of the mouth, babbling with no voice and Christian indicated her to stay quiet.After talking on the phone when Amelia was laying on the bed, she copied Blair's voice by saying, "Babbyyyy... where are you, baby? Christian... come to me, please.""My hair will go white if you don't come in a minute..." she said with the change of voice when he chuckled and said, "did

    When Christian didn't say a word, she understood as she withdrew her hand from his grip and the machines which were attached to her started beeping continuously.Blair's breath was high by now and she was struggling for air. Gasping for oxygen when Christian quickly pressed the help button next to her bed and made her wear the oxygen mask.Blair wasn't wearing the oxygen mask when the doctors came in they rushed towards her as they said, "Wear this mask.""No... I... won't. Christian... I want... answers," she said gasping for air struggling not to wear the oxygen mask.The doctors along with Christian was trying to wear her the oxygen mask."Blair, I will give you the answer. First, wear this mask," he pleaded when she refused to wear the oxygen mask.He gave up and quickly said, "Okay, Blair.
