“Good for you then,” he said, taking a sip from his glass and Amelia just stared at him too stunned to speak.

Just when Xavier had finished speaking, an old man raised his bidding card and the tension began building up inside her.

“I million dollars,” he said

“For a 20-carat ruby?” Xavier asked with a scoff, while Amelia looked at him confused

“1.5 million dollars” a lady not too far from them shouted, raising her bidding card. Her sharp red lipstick was quite evident. It gave her a 1960 look.

“Yes, 1.5 million dollars, anyone else?” the auctioneer asked and Amelia shuddered. The thought of raising her card, declaring a prize that she had never thought of having for a lifetime made her shake.

“1.650 million dollars,” the aged lady in front of them said.

“Yes, let's keep it going” the auctioneer yelled. Amelia began to raise her bidding card slowly, but someone else spoke.

“2 million dollars,” A Brunette woman yelled. Amelia gasped. That was too much. She couldn't see herself bidding

    The deal was sealed, and Amelia couldn't keep herself still. The place suddenly became too stuffy, difficult for her to breathe. At first, she thought she could bear it, but when she could no longer do that, she ran away, not caring about the eyes that followed her as she ran.Hurling her heels aside, she made her way out. When she was finally out, she rushed to a conducive area to vomit every content in her stomach, but that wasn't successful. The fear she felt in her was so great, she shivered physically. After a moment, her hair was tucked beneath her ear. She immediately knew it was Xavier. His scent filled the whole place as he held her a hair.She stood up straight and a whimper escaped from her mouth. She had no idea she had been crying, but the reason was clear. Fear was the main thing, and she couldn't get rid of it.“Amelia” she heard him say softly, but the tears just kept flowing with reckless abandon.“Don't touch me” she snapped, raising her head as she walked away from

    "CAD" he announced and her eyes in shock"You mean?""Coronary artery disorder" he completed with a smile emerging on his face and it was just so odd deeming the gravity of what he said."Oh my God". She exclaimed as her eyes widened in shock"You don't need to react that way. I have gotten enough already""How long?""For the past 2 years""I'm so sorry you had to go through all that" the main reason she felt bad was that she acted so rude to him at first and poured out her anger on him, not knowing he had to go through a lot. "You don't need to be," he said and silence followed afterward.The car ride tarried for a while and after some time it came to a halt at a white duplex. It wasn't so big, but it sure looked luxurious. Truthfully, this house was the kind she preferred. It was an average-sized house and very convenient for her unlike the numerous mansion, Xavier had quelled her to leave in. The door was opened by her and she alighted the car, looking around and inhaling the cool

    Her heartbeat was increased as nervousness set in. She wondered why she felt that way. The silence in the car gave her more room to think, and that was the least she wanted to do.All of a sudden, everything suddenly looked and felt irritating to her. The scent of the deodorizer produced from the car made her feel nauseous, and the fact the car was moving at an incredibly slow pace made her feel the need to fly out of the window and walk to the goddamn estate.“Are you okay ma'am?” she heard from the front. She tore her eyes from the window view and looked at Jordan, flashing him a quick smile. A glare was earlier visible in her face, and she had no idea it was that visible to the extent of the driver noticing.“I'm fine,” Amelia said, but it was apparent she didn't mean it. * Fuck it*“Can you not drive so slowly” she spat out and Jordan's eyes partially widened on realization?“I'm sorry ma'am, My boss clarified you get home as safe as possible, and I want to make sure of that”“My n

    A knock from the door abruptly brought her out of dreamland. She flicked her eyes open, yawning tiredly as she tried to process what had transpired.The knock persisted and it took Amelia quite some time to get up and open the door. Her beauty sleep was just interrupted and that was something she loathed. Having been through a lot that day and the previous, what she needed most precisely was rest and she wasn't getting it. All thanks to whoever was at the door.Breathing out sharply, she lifted her hand to the door, twisting the doorknob, and opened it up. Mrs. Rebecca was revealed and Amelia kept her anger in check. If it had been Xavier, she wouldn't have given him a piece of her mind."Mrs. Rebecca" she called out and immediately a yawn escaped from her lips once more which motioned to Rebecca that she was quite tired."I'm sorry for disturbing ma'am, but sir Xavier demanded you have lunch together with him". Rebecca said and Amelia fought the urge not to surge into anger.It was c

    "Slightly," she said, "but not complete... How did you know my favorite color?" she asked as that part still felt a little strange to her "You are not so secretive, so it wasn't so hard to figure it out""No one is secretive with colors," she said with squinted, confused eyes."Yet you asked, how I know?""Well...." Amelia, not knowing where to begin. "I didn't realize you could pay attention to small details""I didn't, it just appeared so obvious," he said and Amelia knew well enough what he was trying to do. Hide his track. He presumably wanted to make her see what he was trying to say from a different philosophy, but Amelia wasn't having it. It was apparent, Xavier wasn't as nonchalant as she thought. He paid more attention to her than she thought he would and the thought drove her crazy."So you just pay attention to little details?" "Exactly""And you didn't realize I wore your cologne to the auction?" she blurted out and watched as his eyes widened in astonishment."You did w

    The message stayed there and when she finally tapped on it to view the content, her heart abruptly stopped."IT IS A MISTAKE TO FANCY THAT HORROR IS ASSOCIATED INEXTRICABLY WITH DARKNESS, SILENCE AND SOLITUDE"Amelia forgot how to breath for a second as she occasionally kept looking around to see if someone was there with her, but there was none.There was only one person capable of doing something like that and she feared the worse. Different thoughts kept going to and fro in her head, but one was greater, fear.Her lips trembled, her hands were shaky, her mind was not at rest and nose importantly, Xavier wasn't home and that was what made her more scared. No matter hard she tried to convince herself otherwise, the truth remained the same, she genuinely felt safer in Xavier hand.Her phone beeped again and she jolted, almost tossing the phone in the process. It was yet another message and the thought of what it might contain made a huge lump to secure it's place in her throat and tea

    "let's go inside. We can talk there" he said calmly and Amelia withdrew her hand that was wrapped around his arm. She was so completed distracted to realize they shared such closeness and when she did, her cheek flushed in embarrassment.She nodded in response, pressing her lips nervously as she tried to smile, but she just couldn't.He stepped back a little, signaling her to go first. She complied while he trialed from behind. She walked slowly as though Hardin was going to get to her if she walked too fast. It wasn't going to happen, she knew, but she couldn't help but feel fear inside of her.She entered the sitting room and sat on one of the couches while Xavier sat next to her. Nothing was said as silence followed and she couldn't tell the course. She wasn't staring at him, but one thing was sure, he was gazing intently at her. It was something she had known him for and he normally did that when he examined her to get the truth. That was the reason Amelia found it quite hard to l

    “While I thought about coping with the divorce and everything, I was also thinking of how to take care of the baby growing inside me” she touched her stomach as she turned to look at Xavier. "Yes my love, I am 6 weeks gone” she blurted out and watched as Xavier's eyes widened in shock."Oh my God,” Daphne squealed."Did you know this?” Lucas nudged Xavier who appeared too stunned to speak?"How the fuck do you think I'd know?”."You are the husband duh,” Erica said with a chuckle.Amelia walked towards Xavier and he gave her a warm hug.

Xavier had told her the previous day to get ready for the divorce the next day. She was devastated. She had thought he wasn't going to carry on with the divorce, but she thought wrong.How the hell was she going to raise his child by herself? She knew if they got a divorce, she wouldn't be able to stand him after that.“You are wearing that?" Amelia heard his voice and she raised her head to look at him. He was dressed in a black tuxedo and it made her wonder if it wasn't a divorce they were going for.She was dressed in her regular wear. Her hair was wrapped in a bun and her face held no makeup. Xavier looked like the handsome organized man he was known to be while she on the other hand looked like a dog's vomit.“I don't see why I shouldn't " her voice was raspy. That was the effect of crying her eyes the previous night. “The last time I checked, we are going to a divo

    Xavier couldn't help but smile as he took steady sips from his glass. He was at the bar and for the first time, he felt at ease. He didn't have anything to worry about. His mind was at rest. He didn't need to worry because his major problem of over 10 years was gone.The chair beside him was tugged and he turned to look who it was. Just as he had expected, he saw Lucas. He had texted him to come over, but he didn't think Lucas would come along with Erica.“You look happy," Erica pointed out. “Well I'm glad we didn't meet the cranky side of you"“Why wouldn't he be happy? Martin is gone, Hardin is gone and he has a beautiful woman to go back to after all the day's stress"“Oh no," Xavier laughed.“That's true"“What part of your bed does she keep warm?" Lucas teased.“No part" Xavier blurted out.“Woah you guys haven't done it yet?" Erica's eyes widened in surprise.“No, we have. It's just that..."“So you guys have done it for then.

    Amelia didn't bother giving Peter a call. She just showed up at his pub. She knew if she called him, he might find a way to get her off his back, but today was going to be different.

Peter called out as he looked at her in disbelief.She was also stunned to see him with trimmed hair.

    “If it was me, you would do the same," Lucas said in his defense. “That's not the point," Xavier said“Then what is?"“You should have told me"“What would you have done from the hospital bed? Even if you want to get him now. Bad news, he is missing"“What?" Xavier let out.“You heard me.
