Amelia’s POVI got the job? I got the job!I nearly squealed out loud like a pig in excitement as I read the message on my phone. My excitement and happiness knew no bounds when I saw the message that I had gotten the job and without thinking twice, I quickly ran into my mom’s room to share the news with her. The heavy burden that had seemed to weigh on my shoulders lifted up just a bit and it felt like I could finally breathe easier and better. Although the money dad had sent had been so helpful and had literally saved my mom's life, it had not been nearly enough to cover all of the outstanding bills and payments we had to make. Then there were the new payments that seemed to be cropping up every single day. It was beginning to look like the hospital was charging us for every breath we took and every step as well. It was disheartening at times and I had just begun to feel depressed and hopeless again especially with the incident with Eddie, when the message came in. It came in at ju

Amelia’s POV“When are you starting your new job?” Mom asked a few minutes later.“I don’t know the details yet but I will have to meet with my employer to know when I will be resuming,” I replied to her. She nodded her head and then told me to get her a glass of water. I got her the water and watched as she sipped it and then laid back on the bed. She stared at me silently and then drifted off to sleep. My thoughts wandered off to Eddie and his daughter and then waved it off my mind when Blair came in. I asked her if she was done attending to her patients and then she told me that she was done. She gave me an envelope and I was so shocked when I saw the content. It was money. I asked her how she got it because I knew she had given me all she had earlier. She replied to me that her man gave it to her and I became so emotional at that moment. I hugged her, asking her how to see him so that I could express my gratitude to him.“Well, I’m having dinner with him and his friends tonight, s

Amelia’s POV I sobbed inwardly as I blurted out my feelings for Eddie in Blair’s presence. She only stared at me in silence and then hugged me, lending me her shoulder to cry upon. I moved away from her embrace when I was done.I felt embarrassed and hated the fact that I had cried over Eddie when he had not even loved me enough to fight for me when it truly mattered. He had moved on with his life and had gone on to have a wife and a beautiful girl. A girl he had named Chloe. It hurt even worse because we had once discussed having kids and he knew that Chloe was one of the names I had had my heart set upon for when we had kids.And yet, we never did. I thought sadly. Eddie had married another woman, and gone on to lead a huge company while I had remained stagnant, career-wise, financially and even in my love life. I felt like such a failure.And yet, here I am. Crying over someone who is doing so much better than I am. Get a grip, Amelia!I ruminated over the apology he had given me

Amelia’s POVI remained silent in shock and surprise as Blair squealed. Blair yelled out, telling me that she told me that Louis would treat me well. remained stunned by the gesture, my mind swirling with a mixture of emotions. Blair's excitement was infectious, and I began to grow excited as well."Amelia, look at this!" Blair exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she held up the elegant gown for me to see. "Louis really outdid himself this time!"I couldn't help but marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of the gown. I briefly wondered if he had chosen the outfit himself. It looked stunning and I thought to myself that he either had amazing taste or his mom or sister had helped him out. "Blair, this is... it's amazing," I breathed, my voice filled with wonder as I reached out to touch the delicate fabric. "I can't believe he did all this for me."Blair beamed at my reaction, her eyes alight with excitement as she urged me to try on the dress. With trembling hands, I caref

Eddie’s POVI was so relieved when Chloe was finally discharged from the hospital. I returned back home with her. She was asleep and then I took her to her room and laid her carefully on the bed. Her nanny came into the room and asked how she was faring. I told her that she was fine but also instructed her to always watch everything she ate. She left the room after acknowledging my message and then after watching Chloe for a while, I returned back to my room to rest after the day. I checked my phone to see if Jenna had called but to my surprise, she hadn't and didn’t even bother to come to the hospital to check on her. I was so furious and I quickly dialed her number. She picked up after the third ring and asked why I called in a nonchalant tone. My brows furrowed in amazement, she was acting as though nothing had happened, as though our daughter had not just nearly lost her life.“What?! Did you seriously just ask me why I called? Didn’t I tell you about Chloe earlier?!” I yelled at

Blair was also to resume back to her duty after her one day leave and as we drove to the hospital, she asked if I was fine.“I’m good, Blair,” I replied to her.“I’m so sorry for telling you to give Louis a chance. I didn’t know that he was such a jerk,” she apologized.“It’s fine, Blair. I know you want the best for me and you know what, I love you girl,” I said to her with a smile. “I love you too, Amelia,” she replied to me and then focused on the road. We fell into a comfortable silence for a while, the gentle hum of the car's engine filling the space between us.We chatted as she drove and after some minutes, we arrived at the hospital. She returned back to work while I went to my mom’s ward to see how she was faring. To my surprise, my dad was with her. I ran to hug him, telling him that he didn’t inform me that he was returning back home.“Well,

Amelia’s POVI had no idea why, but it felt like home to me. Actually, that was untrue, I knew why I had immediately felt a sense of peace wash over me the moment I stepped into the room. I tried to lie to myself that it was the plush carpeting that felt like I was sinking my feet into sand or that it was the beautiful reading corner that made my body itch with excitement to use it and fingers tremble with the urge to hold a sweet-smelling book. However, my lips curled themselves into a wry smile as I grudgingly admitted to myself that my strange comfort was not due to any of what I had listed or the other luxuries of the room or house, but…It's because of that memory, isn't it? Blaire's voice asked in my head.I tried to shoo it away.Go away, Blaire.Not until you admit to yourself the truth.I mentally rolled my eyes even as the flashback washed over me.I remember once talking with Eddie late in the night as we snuggled with each other. We had talked about a lot of things, mostl
