Irvi MamondeeKindly be aware that I do not endorse Stockholm syndrome, and this is precisely what Amelia is experiencing as she grapples with guilt. Stockholm syndrome serves as a coping mechanism within a scenario of captivity or abuse. Gradually, individuals begin to develop affirmative emotions towards those who have taken them captive or subjected them to harm. Don't forget to vote and comment. You can suggest to me some ideas, like if you want them to end up together or apart. I'll gladly consider them.đź’Ż

Amelia's POV The situation was incredibly embarrassing. How could I not have realized that this elegant and luxurious room would belong to him? "Um...sorry, I didn't know. Don't worry, I'll find another room," I stammered, feeling utterly flustered. "No, it's fine. You can stay here. I don't mind," he responded casually. I simply nodded, feeling a mix of awkwardness and gratitude for his understanding. Without lingering, I retreated into the room's walk-in closet, selecting a simple yet cute floral dress to wear. Once dressed, I left the closet and noticed the sound of running water from the adjoining washroom, indicating that he was in the midst of a shower.
