Mr. Brown followed her from behind and stood by her door, silently listening to her talking to herself while sniffing from time to time due to the cold. He stayed there and only make a sound when he could no longer hear any noise coming from inside...he opens the door and walk in, quietly taking a seat by the side of the bed, he stares at his little princess sleeping all peacefully and beautifully. A sad smile forms on his lips as he lowers his head and peeks at her on her forehead causing Amalia to moan in her sleep. He went back to his room and lay on the bed as Lizzy slept peacefully beside him. Sleep was a mile away from him as he motionlessly stared at the ceiling without blinking with his thought running wide. Light pops up on his phone screen that was placed by his bedside and starts buzzing jolting him from his trance. He pick up the phone and check on the caller but wasn't surprised to see the caller's name because he has been expecting a call from him, his assistant. The ca
Me. Brown asked both daughters to join him for a little talk, and they obediently took their seats by him waiting for what he had to say. All he wanted was to spend some memorable time with them and that's what he was going to do, he brings up light and cheerful discussions making the girls talk and laugh from time to time...seeing his beautiful daughters laughing their hearts out with a carefree mind, he was overjoyed and couldn't explain how it feels like...this Is a rare sight to see since he is ale always at home, he misses them a lot, and though they were all happy now, he felt bad for not always being there when they need him most, for not showing them the fatherly love he oath to but looking at them now, he wishes for this to happen all the time. The house was lively with the trios chatting up in the living room happily, the servants peeking at them while smiling because it was a rare sight to witness such a wonderful atmosphere in the Brown's mansion, it has always been ghos
After dinner, the father and daughter did their usual routine by going out to the field and watching the wonderful view. It was almost midnight when they decided to go back home and rest for the night...Amalia enjoyed every single time she spent with her dad, even though she knew this was her last day to see him before he travels, it was still hard for her to accept it...As they walk their way to the mansion, her heart was becoming heavier...no matter how much she tries to convince herself, she still can't let go. She has been watching her dad go on business trips so many times but this one feels different, everything just doesn't feel right...It was like this is the very last time she was ever going to spend time with her dad and she can't stop herself from feeling this way...She was lost in her thought that she didn't realize they were standing at the door of her room...the sadness in her heart was something she couldn't evade or hide, it was evident in her eyes and her dad was not
"Amalia?" Mrs. Williams called her by her name to get her full attention as she held onto her cheeks "Listen to me, you have to be strong, for your dad and me...you can't allow this feeling overcome you. you are Amalia Brown, my once confident and strong Miss, don't let your fears get the best of you...you are stronger than this, be you, who can never break down in public...you can't let your stepmother and Dellia see you like this, you have to be strong, your oath to be to survive in this cruel world" Mrs. Williams spoke in a firm tone, trying to bring her to the present and make her see the realities of life. This world doesn't need weak people rather, it needs strong people to survive in it. Weak people are like prey that are exposed to their predators which are the strong and domineering ones and will only end up losing their lives before they know it. She can't let Amalia be prey to those predators rather, she wants her to be the predator and not just any but the superior one.
Dellia places her legs on Amalias' thighs and ordered her to massage her feet. Amalia obediently did as she was told not saying a word. After a few presses on her legs,..." what are you doing? do you intend to break my legs so I won't be able to walk again or what?" Dellia screamed in annoyance..."I didn't do anything, I was simply massaging your leg just as you commanded.." Amalia was confused, she didn't understand what she did wrong *slap**slap* she didn't get to finish her words as slaps landed on her face on both sides, out of reflex, she held on to her cheeks with eyes widened in shock, still trying to process what just happened...the stinks were painful, no matter how much rights she gave Dellia, it doesn't mean she can disrespect her to such an extend. The urge to retaliate was at its peak but she still kept her cool not wanting her anger to cloud her thoughts because any action she takes will only get the situation worse and she will be the one sleeping outside for days
She couldn't believe her ears "has dad left me for good?"..."no!! it can't be"..." he can't...he can't leave me all alone here...I know he won't do that to me"...but...she stood there, unable to move as tears roll down her cheeks, her heart was tugging in her chest as if it was about to explode as her breath becomes Haggard. With so many emotions flowing through her right now, she could barely stand still as her vision becomes blurry from tears. She runs out of the mansion to the field with a heavy heart, the place she shared beautiful memories with him, the place her family sat, ate, and sing happily. She falls to the ground and screamed as loud as she could, her voice was filled with sorrow and pain, she could barely describe how she felt at that moment...Her entire world has crumbled, into dust and the wind has blown it away, not even a particle is left for her to hold on to it..." why?" she cried out, why do you have to leave me? why?..." why didn't you take me with you? why l
It was already midnight when Amalia left her dad's grave back home. The mansion was ghost-silent, she walks silently into the mansion while looking at it as if it was her first time entering it. It didn't feel like the place she's been living in all her life, it felt so different and empty. Not like there was no one living in it but the most precious things that were keeping her here and making it feel like home were no longer there. The emptiness of the house she once called home brought back the feeling of emptiness in her heart, tears rolls down her cheeks as she looks at every corner of the how as if trying to imprint the happiness she once felt. It doesn't feel like home, not anymore, she quietly climbs up the stairs to her room hoping it will be different, hoping it will end the emptiness she is feeling but to her dismay, it didn't. She touches every corner of her room that's within her reach to get the warmthness he once her but to no avail. Even the feel of her bed was differe
Amalia walk and walk till she saw a bus station, she didn't know where to go, all that is on her mind is to go far away from here, from this town and everything. There were people at the boss station when she arrived, she stood there by the side, waiting for the bus and after a long wait, the bus finally came where she happily entered even though she knew not where she was going. she took a seat by the window sight, showing the beautiful view of the city. If it was herself back then, she would have been amazed and mesmerized by the beauty in front of her but now it is different. Nothing would ever be beautiful in her eyes, she was about to shed tears when she felt something warm inside of her, touching it, she then remembered she kept her flower inside her to protect it should in case she was to be caught by her stepmother during her escape. She place her hands on her chest and held on to it tight while taking heavy breaths now and then to calm herself down. The bus was silent, she pl
"that's the only way you can get my forgiveness" he puts on a serious face..."if you are desperate to get it". Amalia was freezing from within, shivering involuntarily."I...please, Sir...is there...no other way?" She pleads, hoping for a change of heart."other way!" he murmurs thoughtfully, rubbing his chin...He stares down at her, examining her from head to toe..."be a volunteer servicer to me...every time I visit" He wasn't that heartless. He was a bit considerate to an extent..."w-what about my work? I mean, that's the only way I get to make money for myself " she cries. no matter what, giving up the only reason she started this job was a big no to her..."you surely ain't grateful...right?" he was amused at how open she was to tell him what she wants..."not that sir, but I can't just spend my time serving you and die of hunger afterwards" she explains...she was an intelligent one, that he could see clearly."that's up to me to decide" She nods, with her head lowered. "I bet
For some reason, Amalia was happy. She no longer feel scared, it was like a surge of energy, and determination burst out in her...She swell on the pole, dancing to the beat of the song. Feeling it every sound. She was so lost and immersed in her dance that she didn't realize someone was standing before her...She swells round the pole, throwing her long slender legs in his direction. He caught her by the waist, staring at her alluring body with so much lust...She stiffens at the feel of strong hands on her waist, and quickly, she retracted her legs, standing straight...The man didn't seem to want to let her go as he kept on moving closer and closer, closing the gap between them...Out of instinct, she took a step back but before she could take the next, his strong hands hold onto her slender waist, pulling her closer. She could feel his hot breath hitting on her face. Her stomach twist in disgust as she stare back at him, not like he was ugly but because she felt disgusted by his
In the dressing room, stood Amalia before the mirror staring at her reflection. Looking more beautiful than ever...Her heart tugs loudly in her chest. She was nervous but more to it, she was uncomfortable with the dress she had on...It was a dress, just black lingering complimented with black platform heels. Showing off her every curve."do I have to wear this?" asked Amalia to the girl who was busily putting on her makeup..."don't worry... you'll get used to it with time" she encourages, flashing her a sweet smile."But...I just can't see myself in this out there...facing those eyes that will be trying to strip me off my panties" Amalia explains hoping someone will hear her out..."you have no choice...there are rules and those rules must be followed whether we like it or not" Amalia sighs in frustration."what do I do now?" she murmurs rubbing her palms but the girl heard her."Just play your part...moreover, no one will touch you...it's just you going out there and dance, nothi
He opens the door and gently pulls her out of the car..." what are you doing here?" she asked not still able to believe he is standing before her..." I should be asking you that..." he gaze at her with one brow raised, silently demanding an answer but she didn't give him what he wants, she still wanted to clarify her doubts first..." how did you find me here?" she continues..." you know I can do whatever I want, so getting a little info on your whereabouts wasn't a big deal for me..." he winks at her flashing her his breathtaking smile, the one that always makes her heart skips in excitement...how could she forget that the big boss baby has a card up his sleeve? she face palm herself and breaths out tirelessly...Seeing the look on his face made her swallow hard unconsciously. he stares at her with so much desire in his eyes, like if given the chance, he will devour her right there..." come on Dave...stop thinking naughty, we are in public" she said and make her way to his car as the
She push on the door, taking quiet steps, and only stops when she was beside the bed...the sight of Amalia lying on the hospital bed only made her heart to aches the more, she couldn't hold on to her emotions as she sobs silently...knowing that her friend has been through hell to the extent of being traumatized by it is something she is still yet to understand. No doubt she didn't make mention of it, even though they promised to never keep things away from each other...Neely didn't realize the slide movement of Amalia's hands. Amalia opens her eyes slowly trying to adjust to the brightness of the room...everything was strange, she wonder what happened to her but the silent sobs from the side made her turn her head to the side, only to see Nelly, crying with her head now to the floor...She tries to call out to her but no sound came out, her throat was dry and her lips were fussy. Upon seeing her legs shake, Nelly's head snaps up staring at her with so much happiness..." you are awake
Ari stares at the two girls before her not knowing what to do with them, she completely trusts and believes in them that was why she followed them to the so-called celebration they said they had. She has never visited them before so she could not tell and just blindly followed them...She knows they can never hurt her but knowing they teamed up with Dave to plan out things was a big shock to her, but somehow, she was very happy for their help because if Dave would have directly approached her, she was sure she won't have accepted but because of them, she did without thinking twice...Amalia and Nelly stood silently before her, not daring to say a word. They know she is mad and with that, they could only stare down at the floor..." why did you guys do it, without giving me a hint? we were here all day yesterday, at least a word would have been preferable " though she was happy and grateful, she was still a little bit disappointed or maybe not. she just want to scare the girls a bit..."
Ari turn to her side and no one was there, only then did she realizes it was a planned act. for some reason, she didn't feel angry. She watches the man walk toward her and hold onto her arms leading her to the table that was beautifully decorated for two with champagne and two wine glass, with two plates on each side...She didn't refuse and just go along with everything, not like she could do otherwise though...He pulls a seat for her before taking his, on the other side. He didn't know what to say, staring at the wine on the table, he grabs on the bottle and opens on it as it sounded with a loud pop and ever so gently, he pours out some into her glass..." why are you doing all these?" he stops at her word and looks at her with unwavering gaze before he continues pouring some in his glass..." because I need you back in my life, Ari...I want you so badly to be beside me...I want to wake up every morning to be welcomed by your beautiful face, I want to hold you tight and treat you righ
Today was a good day for Ari, she was happy for a reason unknown and she greeted Dave ever so sweetly as if she has never been ignoring him...Dave was amazed by the new side of her. He has never seen her this happy and carefree, just staring at her made him happy. There was nothing more he needed than to wake up every day to see her sleeping ever so beautifully and peacefully on his bed, by his side....he watches them chat happily with his gaze never leaving Ari..." you girls are awesome learners... different yet similar, with a common goal...I don't know what your goals are but all I have to say is for you to keep up, with the rate at which you girls are fast in learning and you put your individual efforts in learning more online, I think...no, I greatly believe y'all will be qualified to start dancing by next week" Ari praise, sincerely being honest with their hard work. A sweet smile spread on their lips upon hearing her say the one thing they have been practicing extra hard for..
The exercise got Amalia tired but she was willing to train hard. As early as she could, Amalia wakes up and starts doing stretches....and after that, she prepares for work.Amalia and Nelly did their work as usual and when they were done for the day, they decided to go to the hall rather than delay...they were quite early so they use this opportunity to train themselves, following the steps Ari thought them the last time, and as they continue trying and trying, they were able to do it like a pro...Ari walks in and was welcomed by the sight of the two girls, pole dancing as if they have been doing it for a long time now...She was happy to see how fast they were able to learn and put it into practice..." they are good" she complimented but it comes out as a whisper..." ’cause you are excellent" Dave's voice rings as he hugs her from behind..." I know right?" she blushes hard..." Dave, stop please...they might see us" she begs as she tries to push him off her but he wasn't ready to lea
