Amelia

I didn't have the faintest idea why Aaron's lawyer wanted to see us. I knew that not knowing was also stressing Becca out but, we decided to toughen up and see the meeting through.

That's why we were currently sitting beside Mr Scott in this expensive office facing two red-cheeked lawyers.

“I'm sorry that we couldn't contact you earlier but with everything going on and getting the papers ready, time went by” the one who introduced himself as Finn said.

It turned out that Aaron's lawyers were the duo owners of Finn and Jake firm; Finnly and Jake Murray, supposedly one of the best firms around.

“It's okay. If we can get down to why we are here?” Mr. Scott asked. He will be the one speaking for us, just in case there are any traps hidden in their words.

“Right. Our dear friend Aaron loves his daughter and had made preparations for her to be financially supported for the rest of her life even in his absence” Jake started.

“Given the current circumstances, he had to sign some paper

    Amelia “Sis…” Becca sighed, looking at me softly “... You know we can go over right?”“I don't want to impose on their time together.”“Bullshit, you're shooting lasers out of your eyes at them.”I smirked, Becca could always pull me out of my funk.“Yeah… but won't it be weird if I go over there and join them? I don't want to come off as clingy and insecure.”“I don't get what's going on here. Are you… are you seriously trying to give me a reason why you can't go over there and meet your man who is hanging out with his best friend? A best friend who is aware of your relationship?”“Maybe?”Becca sighed, “Amelia Reynolds, this isn't how I raised you.”I stifled a laugh. Raised me?Becca grabbed my wrist and marched out of the shop. Heaven knows we've entertained them for a while.“Becca…”“Not a word from you Mimi.” She didn't even look back at me, just pulled me behind her once the lights turned red.“You can be so bold at times, so outspoken and then, like a fucking switch went off

    Evans “I'm beginning to think that you're an exhibitionist,” Amelia said tracing my happy trail with her fingers. I chuckled, “Why?”“We've had semi-public sex more than once. That's questionable enough” Her voice was light and teasing.“I don't hear you complain when we do it, princess. Should I stop?”“I was just making an observation, I never said anything about stopping.”Smiling, I placed a kiss on her cheek. We were having a slow afternoon at my place. Cressida was out doing her things and my presence wasn't needed at the office.“Princess…”“Mhmm” she responded, her attention on my chest. She gently moved her leg between mine. I ignored the slight tremors that danced through my body.“You make me happy” she looked up smiling, “and complete. No day passes that I don't think about you, about having you permanently by my side.”A beautiful blush spread on her face.“Me too…it's really hard not being with you all the time…” she hid her face in my chest and murmured, “... sometime

    Amelia “Hey, bitches!!!” I called as I entered the house with a bottle of wine in my hand. Cardi B was rapping in the background and Cassie had switched out her bright lights for coloured lamps giving the house a soft hue.“You're late,” Cassie said taking the bottle from me, “we thought you would be a no-show.”“Sorry, Evans can be distracting.”“I should feel bad for cockblocking you but the glow on your face tells me that you've had enough dick for today,” Eleanor said.We hugged as Cassie went into the kitchen, probably to get glasses. As usual, we were at Cassie's house. It would have been my apartment but I haven't moved yet and she's the only one with the best neighborhood. “Is there something like enough dick?” I asked.“Now you're just indirectly bragging,” Frankie said from the couch, “but I understand. When you find a worthy dick, keeping it a secret from your friend is a sin.”“So according to Frankie, I can ask for a turn right?” Cassie teased.“Nope. I'm not sharing th

    Evans Gloria.She was there. In the house, we shared for a decade, a decade that I thought would last a lifetime. I sighed, resting my head on the wheel of my car, trying to not spiral into the pit of bad memories in my head. I've been in the car for fifteen minutes, trying to gather myself to face her.Nicolas was aware of my presence but I was grateful that he hadn't said anything. I shouldn't have come to see her, I should have asked Nicolas to throw her out, but my curiosity got the better of me.Why was she here? It's been four years since the divorce and not once have we been in contact.“Babe?” Amelia called.I clenched the phone, “having fun with your friends princess?”“Yeah… I miss you though.”I smiled, her sweet voice successfully calmed me down. The anxiety of meeting Gloria reduced a bit.“Me too princess. Drive safe or sleepoversleepe feeling tipsy.”“Yes, babe…” “Is that Evans?” I heard in the background, “Girls! Mimi is having phone sex!!”“Shut up you perverted so

    Evans I stared.This was a prank. There was no way the girl was mine.“Come on, tell Daddy your name” Gloria urged, stroking the girl's hair.The way she blinked at me was adorable, she still had her baby fat on her cheeks and neck. Fuck!! What if she's mine? How many years have I missed? Why was Gloria revealing her to me now, was someone sick?!“... Zoe but Mama calls me sunshine… mama says you're my daddy?”I don't think I am. Fuck, I can't say that to a kid, I could give her trauma and affect her mental health.“Yes darling” I forced a smile.She inched forward, “But why did you not live with Mama and me?”I glanced at Gloria from the corner of my eyes. She looked happy, her eyes were also sincere.“Your mama and I played a game of hide and seek, I couldn't find you.”Her eyes were shown with interest, “So Mama won?”“Yes, she hid very well.”Zoe finally left Gloria’s side and walked towards me, I opened my arms and she walked into it.Flowers. That's what my daughter smelt like

    Amelia I sighed, already regretting my decision. Becca was doing final touches on her face beside me and I felt like a slacker beside her, dressed in sweatpants and a hoodie with my hair up in a ponytail. Lipstick was the only thing I rubbed on my face.“I feel like turning this car back.”“Don't you dare” Becca said, snapping her mirror shut.“I feel like a bad friend. I'm bringing a pervy fan to their doorstep.” I groaned as she adjusted her bra.We were parked in front of Dylan's house. Becca was all smiles throughout the drive and she nearly screamed my ears off when I told her we were going to see them today.“Don't just embarrass me.”“I would never” she replied with her hands on her chest, looking at me like I suggested she murdered someone.“Becca…”“I’ll try.”I sighed, knowing that's all I would get from her, “I'll hold you to that.”“Okay, okay. Can we go now?” she sounded like an impatient child.I hope everything goes well. Becca's fetish for gay men or at least that's w

    Amelia Becca and I decided to ignore Dad's foolishness of yesterday and not make a big deal about it.“So I was thinking a black and gold theme would be best for the restaurant. What do you think?” Becca asked.It was sweet how one moment she was swearing on everything that I wouldn't have a say in the design of the restaurant and the next, she was asking for my opinion.“Why black and gold?”“Why not? The mixture looks elegant in every way and every time. Picture a nice night with couples sitting on soft black velvety coverings and gold lights glittering around them. Or a nice afternoon with the sun reflecting on some golden stuff and bouncing off the wall creating a nice look.”“The sun can reflect into someone's eyes,” I said dryly.Becca scoffed, “How can you be so pessimistic about colors?!”We've also been going around the color wheel for some time with no conclusion in sight.Becca huffed and drew a line across the combo on her list.“We're down to three on my list so you bett

    EvansPutting Gloria down was tempting but she had too many connections. Her disappearing will just make things as troublesome as things have been recently.I stormed into my company, I guess my expression was a window to how I felt inside because my employees were suddenly speed-walking away from me. I ignored them and entered the elevator.That bitch dared to see herself into my office. I couldn't even blame my secretary for letting her in, Gloria was terrifying. “I'm sorry Sir” my secretary started the moment she saw me, she bowed her head and I could sense the waves of panic coming from her. “She just won't stop or listen to anyone. I called the security…”“It's okay. It's not your fault, call off the security. Just tell them to keep an eye out for her, I don't want a repeat of today.”Fucking cockblocker.“O.. okay Sir… Thank you so much for not firing me Sir.”I waved her off and entered my office. There was no point in firing her, she was the best secretary that had worked for

I'm not doing anything,” he denied.“Yes, you are. Stop tickling me.” “Don't you have work to do?” I asked him as I turned to face him. “Hmm?” “I don't have work to do,sorry.” He made a sad face and smiled.“Urghh…don't do that. I thought old people aren't meant to make those faces?” “I'm forty-four, and I am not old.” “You are to me.” “Says the twenty-five year old…”“No, says your wife.” I cupped his cheeks and pressed my lips against his. I had missed him a lot. He just got back from a trip last night, and he's been over me since. I mean, I did miss him but…Well—Hell. I'm a fucking liar. I missed him a lot. I was about to say something when I got interrupted by the knock on the door. “Come in,” I said. Dia came running in with Becca behind her.“Daddy!

The dress looks perfect on you. Now go walk on that aisle like a boss,” she smiled and cradled Dia in her arms. “Ready?” Cressida came in and asked. Her eyes immediately landed on me and she gasped.“Oh my god, you look so gorgeous.”“She is the bride after all, she should look good.” Frankie said as she came in.I gave a warm smile and clenched my hands together. I was nervous but I was really so happy. “The bridesmaid is here to take you, your Highness,” Frankie smiled as she gave a bow. “I don't know if…” “Enough! You look beautiful. You're getting married, no negative thoughts. No negative thoughts, okay? Mom will be so proud of you.” That warmed my heart.That made me feel content.

    Evans“Shit!” I cursed as I helped her into the car. I drove as fast as I could, unsure what to do.“You…you okay?” I looked back at her. She wasn't saying anything.“Please Amelia, communicate!” “Evans….I love you but baby, shut the fuck up and drive the damn car, right now!” Her scream came out as a cry. In no time, we were in the hospital. Her water broke in the car and she needed immediate attention. While she was being wheeled into the labour room, I called Becca and Hans immediately. Minutes later, they walked into the waiting room. Seriously, did they jump from the sky? “Is she in?” Becca asked.“Yes,” I answered. “They won't let me in. And I'm…” “She'll be fine,” Becca reassured me. I tried to stop my trembling hands from shaking. “I don't know why they've refused me to go in!” I stood up and punched the wall in frustration.“Calm down, man.” Hans said.“Let's just sit here and wait. She'll be okay. She's a strong girl.” AmeliaAs I lay on the bed, head facing the cei

    Evans I have planned this. I hope this goes well and it wasn't fucked up by Hans. I still hate him, but he has been a good guy. Hans is a great guy but he can be shady, and that just fucks things up for his character. My fingers trembled on the steering. I shouldn't be nervous about this. I have been planning the proposal for weeks now. I know she was expecting it sooner, and it did make me feel like a dick but I had to wait. I've pre-planned this. Two weeks of thinking of the perfect proposal, four weeks of looking for the perfect spot/restaurant/ any place, really. One week of constant training. I had written a little note and slipped it into my pants pockets. I looked at her again. I hope this works. Amelia looked at me with raised eyebrows when we stopped at the same hotel where Barry had his gala months ago. “I thought we were eating out?” I held my breath, “We are. I have something to show you. Come.” After we got out of the car; we entered the hotel and were welcomed by

    Amelia“Okay. Then I agree to this. To all of it.” Saying those words made me hurt but I knew I had to do it. I had to let my dad go. “Is this what you want, Princess?” Evans asked and I simply nodded my head, hiding my sobs. “Okay,” he responded and signed the papers. My dad looked at the both of us, his eyes filled with nothing but content. Not envy or greed but content. I love my father. I will always love him no matter what. “Will you atleast come when we have the baby?” “Yes, I will. I promise to come see my grandchild.” And with that, my dad gave me a long look and a, “please take care of her,” to Evans and walked away. “Baby…” I didn't realise I was crying until Evans was at my side, wiping my stained cheeks with his thumbs. That day was spent on his laps, sobbing and eating popcorn. ****“Fuck me,” he groaned as i shifted again on his chest.“Sorry.” I totally forgot he needed more rest. My whole weight was on him throughout the night. “You don't have to apologise.”

    Amelia“You just got discharged a few days ago. I'm not letting you go anywhere.” “Why not?” He looked at me with his bowl of cereal in his hand. “I won't let you go anywhere, understand?” “You're being bossy. I'm fine. I'm well, I just have…I have work to do.” “Why are you so stubborn Evans?” “Why are you so reluctant and bossy, princess?” I rolled my eyes and watched his Adam's apple bob up and down. We just got discharged six days ago, there is no way I'm letting this man walk out of this house to go work.“I'll be careful. Nicholas will be there.”“No.”“What if I bribe you?” “Yeah, right.” I said as I poured the coffee into the mug and dropped a spoonful of sugar into the mug.“I love seeing you bossy. It makes you sexier. Maybe next time you can wear a police outfit and boss me around just like this?”“Haha, funny. I know you can work from home. So do just that.” “Oh, you are such a sexy wife.” I didn't dwell on the fact that he just called me his wife. His phone rang,

    Amelia“Ms Reynolds,” the doctor said as he walked up to me. “Yes doctor,” I jumped on my feet immediately. “I have good news,” he said. He could clearly see the worry and sadness in my sore eyes. Everyone in the hospital knew about me. I had gone to pray in the hospital's church and met a woman, sue comforted me. God bless her. She had her own worries too, but she listened to me. Spared me a napkin and we both cried. We both cried for me.“What's the news?” “Mr Scott is fine. He is conscious now. We had to extract the toxic poison from his body before it caused any more damage. He was already losing strength and with the toxin still roaming free, there was a higher chance of it causing a stroke or worse. We had no other option to save him. I am really sorry if this made you worried, I hope you can understand.” “It's fine doctor. Thank you. Can I see him now?” “Yes, but he is still weak. We've administered some medications and drips to help give him strength. But yes, you're f

    Amelia Ignoring the tiny twinge of discomfort in my ankles, I paced. Have been pacing for a while now.They won't tell me anything. Nicholas, Kelly, even Thomas. They knew something but they won't say.Why won't they tell me? I was Evan's, the mother of his child. I deserved to know what was wrong.It was tempting to look at the clock to know how long he had been in there. How long the doctors were taking to surface.“Nicholas, tell me what's wrong, please.” He averted his gaze but I won't be discouraged. “Nicholas…” I wadled to his line of vision, “... tell me. You don't have to worry about my reaction and the baby will be fine. Just tell me.”He remained mute.“Mimi…” I heard Becca say behind me.I clutched the front his shirt with both hands, finally gaining his attention. “Tell me right now or so help me God…”Freeing him immediately at the sound of a door opening, I abandoned the idea of trying to force the answer out of him and turned to the doctor.My heart fell with disappoin

I have been eating, just because of the baby and the fact that Evans would be mad at me when he does wake up if I skip meals.But it's been hard. So hard.“Baby…” I blinked my tired and swollen eyes as I grabbed his left hand. “Don't you think it's time to wake up?”Nothing. Just stillness under his eye lids that I was scared of.“I need you Evans,” I whispered, my voice hoarse and tiny from the countless tears I had shed. “Please…”His thumb didn't give my hand a little stroke like I desperately wished for. It just laid there in the silence. They said everything was okay now, that it was just a matter of waiting for him to wake up.“Babe, don't do this Evans. Look at me, get up and look at me,” the quiver in my voice drew my attention to my wet cheeks. “Oh..” I was crying again.The door opened. I didn't bother to look up, it was the nurse
