"so you are not going back to him?" Peter asked Amelia who sat beside him at the boulevard. "I don't know" she shrugged. He came back, but I didn't let his words get to me""You don't miss him?""I do. I want to go back to him so badly, but I'm scared he will hurt me again. It didn't take anything for him to send me out of the house in the first place, so it won't be hard for him to hurt me again" Silence followed and Peter was the first to break it. "When are you leaving California? "Amelia swallowed hard. This was the moment she finally got to face reality. The reality of never seeing Xavier again for a very long time. "Soon. I haven't really given it a proper thought" she said and immediately her phone rang by her side. She excused herself and took it."Hello""Amelia it's me Lucas" She heard and she instantly became confused. The last time she spoke to Lucas was when she and Xavier went to the family house."Yeah, is anything the problem?" she asked because he sounded worried
The next day, I went to a restaurant to get food for Xavier. I was desperate at that point and could do anything to get my husband back. I needed to maintain a certain kind of closeness with him for that to happen."So I brought lunch" I smiled at him as I walked to his bedside. At least he didn't give me a look of contempt which I was grateful for."You hate garlic, so I made sure there is none in this" I sat beside him and the only thing he did was nod.During the past few days, Xavier had been giving me cold treatments. The most he did whenever I spoke to him was shake his head and it was always frustrating, but I couldn't complain. I caused all of this. I pushed him away when he needed me. I was once hurt, but I wasn't hurt anymore. All I wanted to do was make him remember me.I guided the spoon to his mouth and he ate slowly. When he was done, I was about to repeat the process, but he stopped me."How did we meet?" He asked and my heart leaped for joy. He hadn't mentioned anythin
" I still have my doubts" Xavier walked towards the wine stand to get a bottle of wine."The doctor said you shouldn't drink," Lucas said even though he knew Xavier wasn't going to listen. "What do you have doubts about?""How is she my wife Lucas?" he turned to look at Lucas with the bottle of wine in his hand."She is" Lucas replied too plainly and it caused Xavier to suspect more."But I am gay. How is that possible?"Lucas hated that moment. He knew a time would come when Xavier will surely ask him about the marriage and he didn't enjoy lying to his brother. If only Amelia would tell him the truth once and for all.He also didn't blame Amelia was keeping it a secret. She loved him and if she told him about the fake Marriage, that would be an automatical divorce because if Xavier found out the purpose of the fake Marriage was no longer there, which was Hardik, he will ask for a divorce."It just doesn't sound right. Why can't I remember her if she was such an important part of my li
Amelia didn't know why, but she felt nervous when Xavier mentioned they were going to the family house for thanksgiving. It was only proper for the family to be together, but Amelia still felt nervous.The last time she was there was during the earlier stage of their marriage. What she was scared of was Lucas and how he was uncomfortable about the way things were going between her and Xavier. She knew if care wasn't taken, he was going to tell Xavier everything. She was also worried about the way Xavier's parents would receive her after the scandal. What if they believed it? She couldn't help but occasionally ask herself. “Are you ready?" Xavier asked and she nodded with a brief smile. They both walked outside and shortly they were inside a car with cosmos at the front seat, driving.“Are you okay?" Xavier asked and she forced a smile. A nervous one. “Of course"“Nervous?"“Not really" she tried to reassure both himself and herself but it was barely working.“You don't have anything
She felt my world crashing down when she heard him say those words.“Xavier what are you saying?"“You heard me. I don't see any use in being in a fake Marriage. Maybe I had a reason back then, but I don't have any now"She swallowed hard, trying her best to process what he said. It was too much for her."You can't divorce me,” she said as she blinked the tears away from her eyes."And why is that? “ "We still have a month to the end of the Marriage,” she said and he scoffed."I don't care about that”"You forgot what the contract said. What will happen when one of us tries to breach the contract" Xavier glared at her and walked away. It was obvious he was always frustrated and Amelia hated the probability of him hating her. This was not what she wanted when she decided to keep the truth away from him.What she wanted was for Xavier to get his memory back and he will remember how much he loved her, but now the exact opposite of what she wanted to be had happened.Rage coursed through
Xavier brought his lips to her lips and he kissed her, letting her taste her saltiness. He placed the tip of his shaft on the entrance of her mound and she bit her lips, waiting for the pleasure that came from that. As soon as she felt his shaft going slowly into her cunt, she moaned out in pleasure.Xavier on the other hand didn't feel as strange as he thought it would be. It felt like heaven. Her hot, wet mound sucked his erection in and he couldn't help but groan.“Amelia" he moaned her name when he could take it anymore. It was like nothing he had never felt before.Her hot mound around his shaft made Xavier explode. She felt so wonderful. "God Amelia you feel so good" he mumbled, thrusting slowly into her, letting her adjust to his size.He started slow but soon picked up the pace. The pleasure was too much for Amelia. She tried to grab him by the shoulder, but Xavier didn't let her"Your hands up" he ordered, still thrusting into her with full force. She complied, placing her
Xavier was rushed to the emergency ward while Lucas waited behind with his heart in his throat.Amelia had been informed and she arrived at the hospital shortly. She looked around and when she saw Lucas, she rushed to where he was with tears already in her eyes. “Where is he? Lucas" he looked devastated and also confused about the answer he should give her. “What happened?"“I think he was poisoned, but the doctors haven't said anything about it"She let the tears go down her cheek. She tried to steady herself before speaking again. “Martin did this, didn't he?"“He is the only one who can do something like this" Lucas said and the moment he let out those words, he watched as she turned to leave.“Amelia, where are you going?"Amelia didn't give him a response. She was going to do what she should have done for a long time.****Amelia called two of Xavier's trusted guards; Williams and Alex. After telling them that she wanted them to take Martin down, they were reluctant. They didn't
After Amelia had given Ken her order, he walked in to kill Martin.He pulled the trigger as he sauntered towards Martin. He knew how sly Martin was and he wanted to end him before starting a conversation with him.“And you are just going to do as she asked?”"Shut the fuck up or you will be dead sooner than expected.“"And what do you think you will achieve after this?”"I will succeed in keeping this mouth of yours shut for once”"And you are still going to keep taking orders”"As long as I get my pay after that” "is that what you leave for now? Looking forward to your pay at the end of the month? “Ken chuckled, “I don't think you understand”. He brought out the key of the cuffs and showed it to Martin. I have the power to keep you there for as long as I want and I also have the power to set you free. Guess what other power I have. I have the power to end you if I want” Ken smiled proudly."Remember when you tortured me to give off vital information? You were relentless. I remembere
A/Nso this is the end guys. Thank you all for sticking till this chapter. Five years later.Amelia took hasty steps as she rolled her bags down the airport. Her heart was filled with ease to the point of her thinking it was going to explode. She tried to keep her smile in check but it was all over the place. She reminisced the last time she saw them and that doubled her happinessShe kept thinking of wrapping her arms around Xavier's. It had been A year since she last saw him and it felt like forever. She thought about Kingsley, her son and the smile widened.“Hey watch it" an angry old lady scolded her.Amelia gave off a nervous smile, but the woman glared at her as she walked past her.“Jeez, y'all need to tone down the makeup a bit" muttered Amelia under her breath. She was talking about the loud lipstick the lady had on her lips.She continued rolling her box with her ecstasy not reduced a bit.“Mum!" she heard from afar and her heart leaped for joy. She turned to the direction t
“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. A child was the least he expected, but he didn't care. As long as it was coming from Amelia.He kissed her and she kissed him back. It was a short kiss, but she still felt the fire rippling inside of her."Aww,” Erica awed. "Now all this makes me wanna have a baby”."We could always arrange that,” Lucas saidPeter who stood by the side with a smile on his face and a glass of drink in his hands was tapped by Wendy.“Oh, Wendy" he called out, taking a goo
Amelia walked down the stairs with her eyes red and puffy. It was the day the contract marriage was supposed to end. 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. I thought this was supposed to be a contract marriage
The weather was cold. Cold enough to commit murder effortlessly. Xavier fastened his gun to his trousers and brought down his suit to make it invisible.After countless efforts to reach Martin, he finally agreed to meet with Xavier. Xavier made it seem like he was going to fix all the grudges that they had, but he wasn't stupid to do that. He was going to end Martin once and for all.He had already caused Xavier too much pain.They decided to meet in an open field. It was Xavier's idea. He wanted a place big enough to contain his wrath while he rains it down on MartinMartin stood at a distance, backing the vehicle. As Xavier walked toward him, he stayed alert because he knew how sly Martin could be. He could pull up a Glock out of nowhere.“I didn't think you would show up," Martin turned to look at Xavier.There was an annoying smirk on his face which Xavier wanted to desperately smack off with a punch, but he needed to keep his cool if at all he wanted his plans to work.“You know I
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. She was going to find out everything that was wrong with him. The peter she knew wouldn't just distance himself from everybody if the reason wasn't vital.“Amelia?" Peter called out as he looked at her in disbelief.She was also stunned to see him with trimmed hair. All his long, healthy hair was gone.“ What are you doing here Amelia?” he asked."You cut your hair?“He sighed, setting down the glass he was cleaning. It was obvious he didn't want her here.Peter regretted coming to the pub that day. He should have listened to his instincts and just stayed home. Now he had to answer the numerous questions she had. He knew Amelia was surely going to ask a lot of questions."I thought it'd look better”"You look pale”"I've been skipping vegetables in my meal” he replied plainly and Amelia gave him a 'are you
“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. I tried to take him back after he escaped from Amelia, but he is missing"“Where the fuck did he go?"“Another state, town or even another country. We should only pray he is far enough from us"Xavier sighed in frustration as he leaned back on his seat. “I don't understand how someone can be so relentless."“You did kill his boyfriend."“He tried to kill my wife"“And you think he cares about that?".“What the fuck does he want?"“You know he wants you dead”"A reasonable person would have given up a long time ago”"Martin is not reasonable, especially when he wants something. He acts mentally deranged sometimes”"He doesn't act, he is mentally deranged”Xavier said nothing for a while before speakin
Erica didn't die even after everyone had concluded that she was as good as dead. It took her one whole month for her to wake up and during that time, Xavier was discharged from the hospital. Surprisingly Martin didn't do anything even when Amelia thought he would.Xavier had healed properly and was already up on his feet. Although Amelia was not in support of Xavier going back to work, he didn't care. She cared about his health. Xavier on the other hand felt he was good and fit enough. Truly he was, but Amelia was paranoid that something could happen to him.Xavier was not aware of the Martin issue. He didn't know his wife had once adopted his worse enemy and he had no idea Erica was in the hospital because of that same man. Amelia didn't tell him, following Lucas's orders. Lucas knew how crazy his brother would get if he heard about it.Lucas wasn't trying to protect Xavier. He had the same mindset as Amelia. They both wanted him to heal first. The doctor said he wasn't healed complet
