“Wedding dress, check” Amelia mumbled, lying comfortably on her bed, staring at the chandelier that hung on the ceiling. “Meeting his parents” she hesitated. “Not checked”

The thought of meeting his parents made her sick to the stomach. Being with rich people was something she had never done in her life. She wasn't only going to meet with them, but also dine with them, chat with them, and probably sleep over for a few days. Xavier didn't make that part a certainty, but she knew it was likely going to happen. There was no way they wouldn't want to know more about her. A thorough assessment would be done, and she wondered how she would cope with that.

Xavier had already asked her to work on her acting skills. That, she was excellent at, but she was most definitely not good at lying. It was one of her biggest weaknesses

Tossing to the other side of the bed, she sighed in exasperation. Subsequently, the thought of Wendy brushed through her mind. She hadn't called her since she got here,

    Amelia felt her heartbeat increase rapidly as the car came to a halt. Her nervousness knew no bounds as her hands trembled, Already getting cold.Cosmos switched off the engine and was about to get off the car to open the car door for the both of them, but Xavier stopped himHe turned to look at her and spoke. “Remember, acting is key, baby,” he said with a smirk, and she smiled nervously*He just called her a pet name* her inner self screamed for joy. Even though he was most likely testing out his acting skills on her, she still felt the heat when the words flowed out of his lips.Amelia, after seeing that Cosmos had already been stopped from opening the door, decided to make it out herself. She never liked the idea of Cosmos helping her with car doors when both her hands were functioning properly. Hands on the door handle, she was about to make it out when Xavier tapped her on the shoulder, stopping her. She looked at him confusingly as he made his way out through the door. It took

    Amelia remembered she was going to face Xavier again. Reality suddenly struck, and she swallowed hard. The doorknob was twisted by her, and she could feel her heartbeat become more intense and rapid. There he was laying on the bed, comfortably. Sometimes she wondered if he was the only one who made her feel the way she felt, or if it was both ways. His eyes were transfixed on his phone, and he didn't look up when she got in.“Are you going to sleep here?” she asked. He looked up at her with puzzlement written on his face.“Where else?” he muttered, and Amelia gulped. There was no way they were going to share the same bed, and she wasn't sure he was going to step down for her.“On the bed?”“Sure, why not?” he sat up. A smirk appeared on his face and her body heated up.“Uh, you see….”“You are not my type, you seem to forget” he scoffed cutting her mid-sentence, and lay back on the bed, unbothered“As if” she rolled her eyes. “We can't still share the same bed” she added in a more se

    Xavier looked at her for a while and nothing came forth. The silence lingered, and she ached to know what was going on in his mind. They were both sitting up this time, but no word was said.“You still haven't told me what the problem is,” He said, but she wasn't ready to tell him anything about her personal life. She also knew he wasn't going to tell her about his personal affair too.*So why does he care?* she Almost screamed out *If he was going to keep his affairs private, then why should he show concern for hers?*“Forget about me, you can go to sleep,” she said, wiping her tears off and turning to the other side with a heavy heart.“You don't look fine,” he stated when she was least expecting him to say a thing about it. Xavier never ceased to amaze her. One minute, he would make her feel uncomfortable and the other he was acting all nice and caring. That was precisely what he was good at and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hate him.Amelia chose to keep quiet for a wh

    Amelia stared at him as the smile slowly faded, and the question lingered in her heart once more.“Xavier?” She called out and he hummed a response. “Why do you want to get married to me,” she asked and pressed her lips together nervously as she waited for his reply. He walked over to a platform along the walkway and sat on it. Amelia did the same while waiting for him to give her a reply, hopefully. He may have already clarified that she wasn't supposed to know the reason and the deal also stated that they were meant to keep out of each other's personal affair, but she couldn't help but ask.Amelia's curious self couldn't be tamed by paperwork, and Xavier was starting to notice it. He exhaled sharply and looked at her. "You understand you are going against the deal, right?” She nodded in response, which caused him to wonder what her brain cells were made of. All his life, he had always had people who were willing to succumb to him whenever he wanted things to go his way, but this

    "Perfect choice," Xavier said as soon as the glass left his lips. A smile appeared on his lips afterward. That gave Lucas a cue that Xavier was actually satisfied. It was absolutely surprising because Xavier was hardly satisfied. He always had a constant craving for perfection.“The girl?” Lucas asked, trying to confirm if they were both thinking from the same perspective. “Who else?”“You know that sounds weird coming from someone like you”“And what makes you say that?”“That's just what I think”“When I said perfect, I didn't mean for me. I meant perfect for the job. Seems you don't know what I meant when I said that” Xavier stated, but it felt like he was trying to convince himself more than he was trying to convince Lucas.“But it's good you weren't picky when it came to her. The sooner you get married, the better. I know you can't wait for a divorce. The two of you will finally go separate ways” immediately Xavier heard those words, he instantly felt a little tingle in his hea

    There was a knock on the door. Amelia snapped her head, squinting her eyes as she tried her best to adjust her eyes to the brightness the room emitted. Yawning tirelessly, she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, looking towards the door.It took a whole minute of persistent knocking before she finally yelled a response. She braced herself, waiting for Cosmos, but it wasn't Cosmos, instead, it was the housekeeper. The housekeeper smiled at her with her chubby cheeks, and she couldn't help but smile back.“Is there a problem?”“No ma'am” she bowed slightly which caused Amelia to scowl. *She was just like the cosmos* "Your friend is here to see you and sir Xavier demanded I send for you before letting anyone in*typical Xavier* Amelia rolled her eyes. She didn't need to be told, because she already knew that it was either Peter or Wendy. She had no other friends. The way he made her friend wait outside, all for whatever reason he could come up with, made her mad.“Okay thank you,

    Amelia looked at the gigantic mirror in front of her. Her mouth dropped in awe. It was almost impossible to recognize her reflection, judging from how beautiful she looked. It was unbelievable. Being the busy type, she rarely had any time to take good care of herself, but here she was, looking as astonishing as she never thought she could be. It was excellent, and she wondered how Xavier might react if she set his eyes on her.Smacking her pink lips together, she stared at Stephanie who had a witty grin on her face. Words couldn't explain how grateful she was to Stephanie for making her look and feel good about herself.“The mirror abstinence worked”. Amelia said with a slight smile. Stephanie playfully bowed her head to make a dramatic effect.“Glad to help milady,” she said and Amelia erupted into deep laughter.Contract or not, she still felt as happy as any bride would be. It was surprising, but she chose not to pay attention to the cause of her excitement, as a little part of he

    Amelia hugged Daphne warmly. Mrs. Patrick was next. How bad she was at this pretense of a thing. It was something she wasn't comfortable doing, but she had no choice. Mrs. Patrick hugged her warmly. A side peck followed. She turned to look at Henry. They hugged briefly too, Lucas followed, and Mr. Patrick too.Among all of Xavier's family, Daphne had been the happiest about the honeymoon. She had no idea it was fake. Of course, they weren't going on an actual honeymoon. They were going to Kauai, not for a honeymoon, but to trick his family further. At least that was what newly wedded couples did after a wedding, so she and Xavier had to follow suit.Amelia was about to join Xavier in the car when Daphne stopped her.“You know what, Ami, let's go to the airport in my car. We can have a little chat on our way” she giggled. “Xavier can go with Cosmos,” she added.Immediately the words made their way out of her lips, Xavier's facial expression changed. It was obvious he didn't like the

    “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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.
